Having problems printing using ePrint from email with an SMTP transmission failure

I am having a problem printing from my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad (both running iOS 5), Mac Book Pro and iMac (Lion)) from my Mobile me account (Apple's @me.com mail). My printer is a D110a and is up-to-date. The return error message I'm getting is attached. The printer is working fine as a wireless printer but whenever I try to email something to the ePrint printer address (@hpeprint) I get this message. While I wasn't a heavy user of emailing to this printer, I did have it working. I'm very discouraged by all of the postings I've found on very similar if not identical problems that others are having ... Please help! Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients: Recipient address: [email protected] Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected Remote system: dns;email.hpeprint.com (TCP|17.148.16.96|51538|15.201.224.75|25) (hpeprint.com ESMTP Postfix) Original-envelope-id: [email protected] Reporting-MTA: dns;asmtp021-bge351000.mac.com (tcp-daemon) Arrival-date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:27:06 +0000 (GMT) Original-recipient: rfc822;[email protected] Final-recipient: rfc822;[email protected] Action: failed Status: 5.7.1 (SMTP transmission failure has occurred) Remote-MTA: dns;email.hpeprint.com (TCP|17.148.16.96|51538|15.201.224.75|25) (hpeprint.com ESMTP Postfix) Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected initions=main-1112130128

I cannot say if this is a supported path or not, but I have a few thoughts about what you are doing. I have done a few prototypes that would send emails programatically to eprint printers.
1. do you recieve the email if you send it to a different address (your email address) - you said the email is making it out of the server, but does it make it to destinations.
2. can you try this with your own printer that has an hp connected account? this would make it easier to troubleshoot.
3. hpconnected has the idea of open to anyone or allowed senders only. depending on how your customer has their printer setup, you could be blocked by the service because of those settings. with those options, they also have the option to block users or allow users to either of those settings.
3a. login to hpconnected.com, select devices, look at the device being printed to, and there is a column for ePrint Access that will say 'Allowed Senders Only' or 'Open to Anyone'. going to the settings for a printer will give more details about these settings, and allow you to manage blocked / allowed users.
More info under 'Manage ePrint Preferences' on this doc:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03550522&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
4. I believe that in hpconnected, you can look at collections and it will show all recieved jobs - which would allow them to be printed again. I think this will list received jobs from email.

Help! I am having problems printing to HP LaserJet P1006? How can I get it to work?

Hey All! I have an old iMac that I am having a few issues with getting it to print with my HP LaserJet P1006. It will print from MS Word, but not any other program. Whenever I try to print from any other program (Excel, Preview, Firefox browser) it says that the print job has been stopped, and if I try to restart it or resend it to the printer, it simply stops it again and I have no idea why. I have already tried all of the basics (restarting my computer, reinstalling the driver, unplugging and restarting the printer, etc) and am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Might try these two...

Printing error on Laserjet 4200 PCLXL with Adobe Reader 8.1.2

While printing on our HP LaserJet 4200 with Adobe Reader 8.1.2, here is the error printed by my printer:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator: SetPageScale
Position: 3
I use PCL6 driver and if I use the PCL5 one, I only get a portion of my 11/17 pdf. The PS driver seams to be OK. I didn't have this problem in Adobe Reeader 7.0.8. And I don't have this problem on older LaserJet printers (4000 or 4100) or newer's (4250).
With PCL 5 or Post Script, it kinda print, but Adobe Reader is not able to get the write size of paper. If I have a 8½/14 or 11/17 document, It can only print in 8½/11 correctly unless I go in printer properties and select manually the size of paper that I want to print on (or the size of the document). I can't keep that resolution because it's to difficult for most users and that they'll keep asking why their document doesn't print in the format it was built in.
Also, with PCL6, when I choose the write size of paper in the printer's properties, it prints correctly.
I tried to update the driver on our server, but the paper type of all our 4200 switched to "Etiquette" and we didn't want to pass on all our computers to reconfigure it back to "Normal paper". I also tried to update the firmware on another of our 4200s, but the problem persisted.
Can you help me to find out what's going on in Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and how I can solve that problem??

Hi,
We are also struggling with the same problem after upgrading the portal to NW04s SPS15. It is consuming 2 to 3 min for opening the PDF form in ESS under Travel & Expenses.
We are also with same version of Adobe i.e.8.1.2
Still waiting for the solution,
Regards,

Sorry for my ignorance but i'm having problems printing

Hi
I am very new to indesign and to print graphics. I am not new to web graphics.
I am having problems printing a document that I have created in InDesign CS5. Now I have learnt that I need to calibrate stuff with ICC profiles but I am not sure what I am doing.
Do i need to create aan ICC profile for my monitor and printer?
How do I get these to worl with InDesign?
I suppose I need to tell you what is going on. When I print my document which is mostly different shades of grey, most of the different grey shades are nearly black and I can only just see the differentces in shades between the grays. Now on my monitor they are distinctly different and can easily be seen.
So what steps do I nee dto get these colours right?
Cheers

For good reproduction you need an accurate monitor profile (this is done with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer --that's overkill for just the monitor, but it can do the printer, too -- and profiling software) and an output profile for the printer and paper combination. The industry standard EyeOne colorimeter package is around $200, the spectrophotometer will cost quite a bit more.
There are services that will profile your printer for you, too, but learing to do it yourself will cost less over the long haul if you are really serious about the output quality. In theory you need to recalibrate and profile printers on a regular basis, especially when you change ink or toner. Out here in the real world, though, I suspect most of us who are not producing commercial color output just do it once and live with it until the results are no longer acceptable and the profiles need to be updated. I proof for internal use on my color laser, for example, and it hasn't been re-profiled for about three years. It no longer matches waht I see on the monitor exactly, but it's still fairly close and the prints are for my own use. I always get a proof from the printer when it's time to go to press.
Of course not all monitors and not all printers are created equal. Some monitors are incapable of showing fine gradtions in sahding in the dark or very light grays, and many, if not most, printers can't capture all of the shades you can see on screen.
For any given printer resolution, such as a 600 dpi printer, the higher the linescreen value used to print, the lower the number of shades that can actually be produced. Halftone spots (which is what are used to fool you into seeing gray using only black ink) are made up of groups of printer dots, and you can't print half a printer dot, so, for example, 600 dpi printer outputting at 100 lines per inch linescreen, uses about 36 printer dots to make each halftone spot (it might be a little different because the shape of the halftone spot is seldom a square). The best you can get from 36 printer dots is 37 levels (no dots to all dots), so the best you can hope for is about 3% steps.
Add in dot gain, the spread of ink or toner as it's absorbed into the paper and which is more prominent at darker shades, and your shadows tend to plug up, and the very light shades may not show at all. Less than 5% dot, for example is extremely hard to print on most lasers.
A really good book on the subject is Real World Scanning and Halftones, and a great book on color management in general is Real World Color Management.

HT2506 Is there anyone else who is having problems printing with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X?

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.
When I try to print anything it comes out looking like this:
Apple PREVIEW team!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Linc...
Here is a copy of your prior post to me on a different forum...
Still no resolution...

Re: Anyone having problems with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X? When using a pdf form that allows multiline text, I am finding that the printing is completely illegible. The lines are stacking on top of each other.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mar 11, 2012 4:13 PM (in response to Linc Davis)
Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help!

Problem Printing to HP laserjet 4 plus via a parallel-usb adapter

This generic parallel-usb adapter cable worked fine on a Sony laptop printing to HP laserjet 4 plus, but when I tried to do the same with the Mac book pro (2.4 ghz mac 10.4.10), the printer is recognized and it prints but only in a faded fashion (as if it is draft printing). I looked in the control panel on the printer and tried to make a couple adjustments, but that didn't help. The cable's page said it had mac 8.2 or whatever support. It did come with some drivers disc but it is too small to work in the mac (not a standard size cd).
I would apreciate some help in this matter.
Moorty

Hi Moorty
Hi wm300
I have connected a HP LaserJet 4L to Mac OS X 10.3.9 using a Keyspan parallel to USB adaptor cable. You will require the same hardware setup. It is more than a connector, the cable it has a small converter card in it.
Keyspan parallel USB printer adaptor
You already have such a similar cable.
Your problem seems to be the right driver.
remove the printer then Add it again and decide which driver you want to use.
Your model HP will work with the drivers available in OS X, HP LaserJet 4MP, or the old driver downloaded from the HP website for the LJ4/4M will also work.
A new driver for it will also work available here
http://buymelunch.org/printing/usbtb/
So once connected to a USB port, your Mac will see it, load the right driver, and the printer should work.

Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro. I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker. The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page. I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle. I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row. I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers. The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office. I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines. Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days. Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en. Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem. I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem. My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that. I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.

Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend!

I am having problems printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme network.

I am having no success printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme based local network. I can use this to print wirelessly from my iMac OS X 10.7.5 and MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8. I have 2 printer options: HP Laserjet (B&W) P1005 hard-wired to the iMac and HP Photosmart 7760 hard-wired to the AirPort Extreme. I believe I have checked all the correct boxes to enable the network and the iPad to connect, including ensuring that it is using the same network but when I try to select a printer I get the message that no printer can be found. Will it not work with an AirPort Extreme based network or only if this is connecting to wirelessly enabled printers which I do not have.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....
