HP 1102W Wireless printer won't stop printing

When I send a print job to the 1102W wireless printer requesting one copy, it prints continuous copies until the printer runs out of paper. Help! I'm running out of paper and toner...
Happens from both my computers: one using Windows XP and the other using Windows 7.
Thanks.

This can often occur depending on how the network installation was done. Usually, there shouldn't be any issues if you utilized the Smart Install or ran the network install from the CD. Can run into problems with a Standard TCP/IP port configuration if the driver was added another way.
Give the following a try. Basically disable the "bidirectional support" setting in the driver. Here is a link to a doc:

1102W printer won't stop printing

My 1102w wireless printer works fine from the host PC (HP Pavillion) using Win Vista64.
I have an Acer notebook (Win7 Home Premuim with all updates) which has the latest HP software for the 1102w installed. When I select a text file to print from the notebook, it prints just fine but will not stop. For example, when
printing a one-page document the one page will continuously print until I shut down the printer
and cancel the print job. With the Print Status display shown, the document queued for printing will
never go away. It's as if the software is never recognizing the End of File character.
I did do a search on this forum for something similar to this problem but didn't see any posts that applied. Thanks
for any help.

Disable the "Enable bidirectional support" in the P1102w Properties > Ports.

Power off the pc and the printer, then load them both back up. This should hopefully clear it from memory if it is getting stuck somewhere.

Hp photosmart 8250 printer won't stop printing

my photosmart printer, no matter how many copies I am trying to print, will print until the paper runs out. I have wasted so much paper, thinking it will print the picture I want to print and stop.

My Photosmart C309a does something similar but I am printing a multiple page pdf. I've gone to so many forums and tried so many different work arounds, all to no avail. I am convinced the HP software is junk.
Temporary fixes I have tried are:
go to c\windows\system32\spool\printers and delete whatever files are in there. Next, go to Admin tools>services>print spooler and click on properties tab. Set it to automatic. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) also needs to be runnung. Just look a little further down on the services list and you'll see it. Set for automatic also. Then uninstall and reinstall your print software.
I have found that the printer behaves normally for a while, but then it forgets to talk nice to Windows and starts messing up again. Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

HP 6310 allinone won't stop printing deleted job

Wireless network HP 6310 all in one printer,
Our operating system is Windows 7.
My husband sent a print job to the printer from the internet. It printed multiple times and would not stop. I tried the following to get it to stop printing:
deleted the job from the queue
cancelled the job at the printer
turned the printer off and on
unplugged the printer
reinstalled a new version of the printer
It still won't stop printing.
Please help!

Hi @dionysusthewino ,
I see that the printer is printing out blank pages and won't stop. I would be happy to help you.
Clear out the print queue on the computer.
Then power cycle the printer.
Restore the printer back to factory settings, if you are still having issues. If the printer is networked though, you will have to set it up again.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
If you need further assistance, please provide the results and the following information.

HP Laserjet P1102w won't stop printing

I've just installed an HP Laserjet P1102w from the disk and it won't stop printing. I've disabled the bidirectional support and gotten rid of all other HP devices on my laptop but it still keeps going - just printing blank page after blank page. How can I stop this?

Test page won't stop printing

I have a Hp psc 1315 all-in-one and it won't stop printing a test page everytime I turn it on. I have had this printer for 5 years and it did this once before but I can't remember how I fixed it. I followed the directions over and over and scanned the document after it printed and it still won't stop. I'm getting sick of wasting ink and paper, any suggestions??

It's the alignment page that keeps printing. Check the link below. You need to scan the alignment page successfully so that it won't keep on printing it everytime you restart printer.
Cause
The product aligns the print cartridges every time at cartridge installation or replacement to ensure the highest-quality prints. The alignment page continues to print when the product is turned on or off, or when a print job is started, for any of the reasons below.
The alignment process is not complete.
The ink cartridges are not properly installed.
The ink cartridges need to be replaced.
The product needs to be serviced

HP 7520 won't stop printing

Hi,
I have an HP 7520 with two issues occurring at once: it won't stop printing and it won't connect to web services. This is a recent problem.
I've read through the various self-help posts, but I can't get the printer to stop printing (or the message screen to stay in menu mode) long enough to select the tools menu.
All the pages keep printing with only one line, which reads "CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0".
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
KMK

Hello @klauskokott ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your printer can't connect to the Web Services.
I would like to help.
It sounds like the printer is making a partial contention to the servers.
Just enough of a connection to cause it to try and print the web services information page, but not enough to actually print the page and confirm the connection. This would be why is keeps trying to print the web services page, but you instead get the weird 'CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0'.
I would first try resetting the network.
Simply turn your printer and other network devices off.
Unplug the power to the router for at least one minute.
Plug the power back into the router and turn on your network devices.
If that does not resolve the issue, try setting a manual DNS.
The following reply by happytohelp01 has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
It is for a 7510, but the process will be very similar.
Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
Pleas let me know how things work out, or let me know if you need any further help.

Laserjet 6P won't stop printing - prints a line of junk on each page -not connected to network or PC

My HP Laserjet 6P won't stop printing. It prints a few lines of symbols and characters at the top of each page. The printer is not connected to a network or computer. I tried shutting the printer off for a long time. This started when I tried printing from a MAC to the printer, but now there is nothing connected to the printer.
Any suggestions for resetting, etc.? I don't know how to reset this printer so I haven't tried anything with the various buttons, etc.

HP Laserjet 400 M401n won't stop printing when more than 1 copy is specified

I use this HP Laserjet printer on a network. It's brand new. I print from both Macbook Pro and / or Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5. Downloaded and installed latest HP printer driver.
Problem: I can print 1 page just fine. But when I specify more than that, the printer will not stop printing copies for the number I specified. I have to press the cancel button to stop it. I have tried resetting the printer. No luck.

I don't use spell catcher.
I found a workaround posted elsewhere in the Apple discussion forum. When going through the printing dialog boxes, select Preview and print whatever number of pages I need from that window. It works fine so I'll use that method until a future Mac OS X update fixes the problem.
The security update for OS X on 3-1-06 didn't fix the problem even after I repaired permissions.
Thanks for responding.

Airprint won't stop printing

Everytime I print from one of my IOS devices, my printer will not stop printing the iDevice continues to send the job to the printer. I have to turn the device off in order for the printer to stop printing.
Any thoughts?

HP Laserjet Pro M1217nfw MFP, firmware 20120901

Hi jbrophy11 and all,
Seems the latest FW update does not support iOS devices with iOS 10.6. This is a problem that should be fixed in the next firmware update.
There are currently 3 workarounds that you may try:
1. Manually cancel the print job on the “Print Center” of your iPhone/iPad
     a. Double –click the Home button to display recently used apps
     b. Swipe left or right to find “Print Center”
     c. Tap “Printer Center” and click “Cancel Printing”
2. Power cycle the Laserjet
3. Downgrade firmware to the version of 20120206 from Mac OS
     a. Download the FW 20120206 from HP.com under LJ M1217nfw support page
     b. Run the FW Utility with a USB cable connecting to LJ M1217nfw
     The previous version FW (20120206) only refer to Mac users and it can be downloaded from HP.com: HP LaserJet Firmware Update
You may check from time to time if a newer version than 20120901 gets released and update your device with the new Firmware version.
Best regards,
Mandy

MY PRINTER WILL NOT STOP PRINTING

I have a brand new HP 309a wireless printer. I am using it with a USB PORT. I downloaded something from a PDF file and the printer will not stop printing. I rebooted the computer, I disconnected the printer for an hour and when I turned it on it resumed I hit the cancel button, the display reads "print cancelled" and then it reads "now printing." When I attempt to use the printer to print something else it reads "busy." HELP.

Awesome Airplanes - won't stop printing!

I installed the Awesome Airplanes App on my HP OfficeJet 8600 and it has printed an airplane every day. I thought it was the children printing them but it is the app. I have removed the app but it still prints at least one a day.
How can I stop it?
Thanks

Hi,
Removing an app won't stop its subscription.
Please follow the steps listed under Managing Scheduled Delivery Print Apps within the suspend or cancel sections to stop the scheduled delivery:

As you already removed the app be sure to add it back, then follow the steps prior removing it.

Wireless Officejet pro 8900 stopped printing

Our Officejet 8500 A909g mysteriously stopped printing wirelessly today. Windows (7) is unable to troubleshoot and it is happening from both the household laptops.
I've tried turning it on and off,
Turning the Wifi router off, printer off, wifi on, printer on
Changing out nearly empty cartridges
Typing in the printer's IP address., which shows status as ready.
Printer will print test pages through IP address, but will not print test pages through Windows,
Attempts to install a duplicate copy of the printer through Windows devices fails.
I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi @hedgemeister,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print wirelessly to your HP Officejet Pro 8500, you are using the Windows 7 Operating system. To better help you can you please leave me with the following information:
1. Do you get any error messages when you attempt to print?
2. Have you recently made any changes to your computer, updates, firewalls etc?
3. Does the print job send to the print queue and then disappear?
I would like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools
-- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.

Print jobs won't stop printing...ever.

Since upgrading to Leopard, I've got a problem with an old HP PSC 750 where the print queue seems to generate unlimited copies of one print job. I printed a three page document and went and made coffee and came back to what seemed to be +War and Peace+ in the output tray.
I'm not sure I want to download a driver that's not been updated in a couple years, but I don't want to abandon this printer, which, although problematic over the years, is a cheap workhorse. I've not seen a lot of discussion of this problem on the web, is anybody familiar with this? Thanks in advance...

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 !!!!
