Help! Problems printing to HP Laserjet printer

OK we've had an imac for several months and haven't had any problems. Recently, we can no longer print multiple jobs from our HP Laserjet printer. I believe the printer and the imac still recognize each other, but the print job seems to get "hung up" and never prints. It shows in the print que, but the status never changes. The only thing that seems to work is turning the printer on and off, but then it only prints 1 print job and then all other print jobs get "hung up" again.

"according to the system profile it says its an iMac 11, 2"
You have a much newer iMac than those covered in this forum, which is for iMacs made prior to Jan 2006. You'll feel more at home posting your question in the forum for current iMacs here:
iMac (Intel)
If someone here fails to notice you have the newer model, it's possible they could give you advise for the older ones that doesn't apply to yours. Not your fault--it's due to an unfortunate choice of forum labels.

Problems printing PDF from HP Laserjet

HI,
I had no problems printing any PDF from my HP Laserjet 200. It was working fine no matter where the PDF came from (USB, straight from the web, from an email, etc). But the other day it just decided it won't do it anymore. When I try I receive an error message on my computer and my printer freezes up. Any suggestions????

"An error message" really doesn't tell us much...
Also, your operating system, Reader version, etc. would help.

Please help my printer talk to my computer. An error message always occurs when I try to print and Firefox self-help has not fixed the problem. Please help me directly with fixing the issue. Thank you.

Please help my printer talk to my computer. An error message pops up whenever I try to print. I have tried the firefox self-help on this topic and it doesn't work. I need direct help with this problem.

message is: "an unknown error occurred while printing" with the yellow icon and exclamation point. this is all it says every time.

Problem printing Adobe Reader documents (PDF). Text files and MS-WORD print fine. Help?

I cannot get my ePrint to work with Adobe Acrobat (ReaderX) and pdf files. I get a "Failed to send" message. I have NO problems printing text or MS-WORD files so I know my Internet, printer, and local intranet are working. Help?

When you say the bottom right of you screen, are you talking about your computer screen? If you are then, you are not using ePrint, which is fine. You may just be having some wireless network issues. Try this. When it asks for the DNS information on step six, enter Google's public DNS (Preferred = 8.8.8.8 | Alt = 8.8.4.4). If that does not help, let me know and I will see what I can do.
By the way, if you are emailing the documents to your printer, which is ePrint, you are right about the file size limit, however, the limit is 5 MB. Most likely you are not Creating PDF or Docx documents that are anywhere near that size, so that should not be the issue if you are using ePrint. If you are using ePrint, try turning the router and printer off. Turn the router on and let it become stable. Turn the printer back on. Turn off and on any other devices that are connected to your wireless network as well, so they can re-establish network connection. Now retry the ePrint job. If that does not work, let me know.

'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

Hello,
a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
I made several trials to solve this problem:
- uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
- update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows 7 PC (with the same windows update done)
But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks for answering
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

PDF Printing problems with networked HP Laserjet C5020N

Hello,
I'm having problems printing documents that I've created with the PDF creator of Office 2007. When I try to print only the first page, the printer correctly prints, but when I try any other job (printing the whole document, only the 2nd page, page 1 and 2, and so on) the printer refuses and prints one sheet that says:
Error Name: /undefined
Offending Command: --file--
Operand Stack:
I use Adobe Reader 8.1.0.

Also having other "permission" based problems as well. Other people cannot open my PDFs even though I have not used any security. I'm thinking about getting a previous version of Accrobat Pro and installing that.

Problem printing with laserjet 3055 AIO

We have 3 or 4 3055 AIOs within our school district, and one is giving us a real headache. It is constantly asking us to insert pages. When I went to look at it (I'm a tech at the district), the LCD read READY MANUAL and it was only pulling from the manual feed tray (tray 1). Manual feed is set to OFF, but it is still trying to pull from manual feed.
I was looking at the other 3055s that we have, and they all have the same settings, so I dont know what might be happening.. None of them show anything in their setups about tray 2, even though they all have a tray 2. I initially thought that the problem printer just couldn't see tray 2, but they all looked the same way.
My question is, does anyone know how I can set it back to READY AUTO, when manual feed is already OFF?

The Tray 1 (the top small tray) of LJ3055 is a priority input tray, meaning if there're papers in both trays, the printer will pull those in Tray 1 first.
The Tray 2 (the bottom one) is the main input tray. The printer will pull paper from Tray 2 when there's no paper in Tray 1.
The LCD message "Ready Manual/Auto" does not indicate the paper input tray, but indicate the receive fax answer mode. If you want to change it, please go to Menu -> Fax Setup -> Fax Recv. Setup-> Answer Mode.
If you feel this solves your problem, please press the "Solved" button.

HT4356 I checked everything out and had no problem printing from IPAD/MINI using the HP Photosmart 6520 printer, but the next day, using same application, my HP did not show, but was looking for the AirPrint Printer, what am I doing wrong?

Using IPAD2, IPAD MINi, HP photosmartE6520 set up on wireless network. No problem printing from my devices, but the following day, it is looking for AirPrint printer, why?

Hello lenc48,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having a few issues when it comes to printing from your mac as well as some two sided printing issues.
I do have a some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please remove the usb cable (if using wireless, disregard this step) from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
Please click on the first link that will give you instructions on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the software has been removed, please disable any anti virus protection that you may have on the Mac.
The next step we are going to take is downloading the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable (You will see a prompt for a wireless connection as well if that is the connection type you would like to use) so please do not connect the cable until prompted to do so.
If you are still having issues, feel free to write me back or you can contact HP Total care direct. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Problem printing out to a parallelport printer

Hello, I am using the javax.comm.*; package and I am having problems
printing to the parallelport.
Well, it prints out the string but the problem is that the light for paper feed
starts blinking eventhough there is paper , once I click the paper feed button
the printer then prints out the string.
So, basically, everything is ok, apart from that I have to press the paper feed
button for each time I want to print something.
There is an error in my code somewhere, but as I am new to port communications I cannot understand what to do.
Below is my code, please help.
Thanks!
public void print(String s){
Enumeration ports;
CommPortIdentifier portId;
     try{
          portId = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier("LPT1");
         addPort(portId,s);
     }catch (NoSuchPortException e){
                 e.printStackTrace();
public static void addPort(CommPortIdentifier portId,String s){
     try{
          ParallelPort port = (ParallelPort)portId.open("LPT1",2000);
        /*port.notifyOnError(true);
        port.notifyOnBuffer(true);
        port.addEventListener(new ParallelPortEventListener(){
               public void parallelEvent(ParallelPortEvent ppe){
                       System.out.println(ppe.toString());
                       System.out.println("An event has occured");
          try{
               OutputStream os = port.getOutputStream();
               if(os == null){
                    System.out.println("Os is null");
               else{
                      os.write(s.getBytes());
               //os.flush();
          catch(Exception eis){
               eis.printStackTrace();
          port.close();
     catch(PortInUseException e){
          System.out.println(e.currentOwner);
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch(Exception ecl){
          ecl.printStackTrace();
}Of course this class imports :
import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.comm.*;
import javax.comm.CommPort;
import javax.comm.CommPortIdentifier;
import javax.comm.ParallelPort;
import javax.comm.NoSuchPortException;
import javax.comm.PortInUseException;
import java.io.*;

Wow - I wonder how the OP thought that the
Developers Home > Developer Forums > Java Forums >
Java Mobility Forums > Consumer and Commerce >Consumer and Commerce General >
Forum was a correct choice for this problem??It's the same logic that leads one to believe that being new to port communications omits them from the responsibility of using general troubleshooting techniques to isolate/identify a problem.
This logic often leads to obscure questions also, sadly.

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.
Thanks,

Welcome to the forums Etow,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
Have a great Friday

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!

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.
