Hp 1210 all-in-one not communicating with word through my mac

my hp 1210 works fine except when i attempt to print a recently modified word document I get an error message that says "word could not communicate with the printer"
I aborted a print job yesterday and the "job hold" in the print queu has a red stop sign symbol...when i click on the jobs it say there are no pending jobs.
I am at a loss for what to do. I tried rebooting and reconnecting the printer and the mac, no change.

Hello JPV626,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having issues printing with the PSC 1210 on your Mac, seems to be a queue issue on the Mac.
What is the Operating System installed on the Mac?
Try resetting the Print System on the Mac (Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system), Repair disk permissions, install any and all updates on the Mac and restart. Once restarted, add the printer back in System Preferences and try printing.
I will look back for your reply.

Computer is not communicating with the printer

We recently bought our first wireless printer about 2 months ago, HP Envy 7640 e all in one printer. It was connected and working fine. We have since moved and the computer is recognizing the printer, but it is not communicating. I have tried everything. Any suggestions??

Hey @JessandMarie,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're encountering a connectivity issue with your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with this.
Since you have moved, it is more than likely that you're now connected to a different wireless network. Or at the very least, if you're using the same hardware, your IP address will be different from whatever it was when you first installed your printer on your computer. To put it another way, the printer software on your computer is looking to connect with your printer at an IP address that is most likely not active, hence the communication issue.
What operating system are you working with? I have common steps for both Windows and Mac users that may help. However, if my recommended troubleshooting flow falls short of a resolution, please respond to this post with your operating system version.
Firstly, from your printer's front panel, touch the icon. If it's indicating wireless connectivity and is displaying an IP address you are connected. If you're not connected, run the Wireless Setup Wizard, select your network name (SSID) and input your wireless password. If you do not know your network name and password, click here for instructions on how to locate it using both Windows and Mac setups.
Once you have established wireless connectivity, uninstall your printer driver (if you're not sure how click here), and then click here to reinstall (you will need to select the version that's corresponding to your operating system).
Let me know how this works out for you. If you need any further assistance I'm always happy to help.
Have a great weekend!

HP psc 1210 all in one printer - Printing photos with Green Hue

Hey folks,
it used to work fine, now for no apparent reason, it is printing out photos with a strong green hue. They all come out looking very green and yellow.
I have done several things - i have downloaded and updated all printer software and drivers, i have ran all printer calibrations and cleaning programs, i have accessed Macbook utilities folder and ran all colorsync utility's such as repair and adjust hue. What is going on here? I am completely stumped with this one.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi,
What application you are scanning from? is it Paint or Windows fax and scan?
Can you see the same behavior while using any of those options?
You may find the exact steps to scan on Windows 7 with the PSC 1210 within the FAQs section below:

6025E DAQ card is not communicating with driver I have written

I recently wrote a driver that used the 6025E DAQ card. I then packaged up this product, and am in the process of creating a second identical product. The problem is that the software I wrote does not work with the new hardware card. Nothing has changed, except for the new card. Basically, the first product works great, the second one does not... They both seem to be using the same version of NI-DAQ (6.9.1), and I can't think of anything else that would cause these problems...
Could it be the computer speed? The actual system is a 866 MHz, but the test system (until the new computer arrives) is only 250 MHz...
In addition, the NI-DAQ test software works fine, i.e. I can send Digital inputs and th
e NI-DAQ test software will process the signals, but my software will not.

First, I want to make sure I understand your terminology. You have written a driver for your 6025E? We consider NI-DAQ(6.9.1) the driver for the DAQ boards. If you are making NI-DAQ function calls, then I'd say you are using the driver. (You're not making register-level programming calls are you?)
It's hard to say what the problem is right away, but I guess I do have some suggestions. In case you were wondering, computer speed usually isn't a problem when using standard DIO.
What does your program do? Find a similar example program in your ...\NI-DAQ\Examples folder and see if it works.
What is the other board you are trying to use? Is it also a 6025E?
Also, you said the program is not working, but what is the result? Are you getting any kind of e
rror message?

GPIB not communicating with my magtrol instruments

Hello,
I've installed my PCI-GPIB on a system running windows xp, it was on a system running windows 98 and worked correctly. I am using the card to capture data from a Magtrol Dynomometer Controller. I've run the software and driver updates from NI website. Also, when I am in the MAX software and communicate with my instrument manually I can read correctly from the instrument. What is happening is that when I try to write and read from the magtrol controller the data stream is not ending(getting the cr-lf?). In the magtrol installation instructions it says:" GETTINGSTARTED
1. From the Windows taskbar, click Start, then point to Settings and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System. This will bring up the System
Properties dialog box.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Using the right mouse button, click (right-click) National Instruments GPIB Interfaces.
5. Click Properties.
6. Click the Device Templates tab. See Figure 2�4 System Properties & GPIB Interfaces
Properties.
7. Scroll down Device Name list until DEV9 is reached.
8. Click DEV9.
9. Set DEV attributes to the following:
a. Under Termination Methods, select the Terminate Read on EOS check box.
b. Change EOS Byte to �10�.
c. Select the Readdress check box."
The problem is when I right-click on National Instruments GPIB interfaces I get a dialog box with a tab that says "General" and an empty page. I think my devices are probably not setup correctly because I haven't followed the magtrol instructions (this worked on the windows 98 setup). I am not sure how to fix this, Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer

Jennifer,
Thanks for your question regarding configuring the GPIB termination settings. Depending upon which version of the NI 488.2 driver that you have installed, the method for changing these settings may be different. However, after installing the NI 488.2 driver you should be able to change the termination settings of your NI GPIB device in the Measurement and Automation Exploer. This utillity should be loacted in Programs>>National Instruments folder from the start button. After expanding the devices and interfaces folder in MAX you can right-click on the PCI-GPIB and a configuration window will appear where you can change the settings that you are refering to. A screenshot of this window is attached below.

5520 connected to network but not communicating with devices

I have a 5520 which worked fine for six months. Suddenly it's not working any more. I connect it wirelessly to our home network, it passes all the stages and prints off a test oage showing everything is fine. But when I try to print a page wirelessly from my Mac Mini the print manager just tells me that the printer is 'unconnected'.
Other devices (eg smartphones) can't find the printer at all, whether they are connected to the home network or using 4G, and I have downloaded HP's app just in case that helped.
I have tried returning the printer to factory settings but it doesn't make a difference.
Yesterday I noticed that the printer was showing up as a wi-fi network in its own right so I was able to connect to it from theMac Mini (but not from other devices) and print that way, although that was not great because I had to disconnect from the internet to do it. Today it's not showing in the wi-fi network list any more. Any thoughts woiuld be hugely appreciated!

Hi @cadleigh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart 5520, is not communicating on the wireless network to your other devices. I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
The version of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
In the meantime, please take a look through this printer is offline guide. 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X.
Hope this helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

Officejet 4620 All in one Not printing even with new cartridge

My printer has suddenly stopped printing.
There are no error messages.
My ink level is full.
It slowly started "running" out of ink as I was printing.
New cartridge.
Cleaned printer heads twice.
Ran print quality report and it acted like it was printing but didn't.
Any ideas??

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.

Scan Control from HP 1210 All in one Printer/Scanner

I now have Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
Used to have 10.4.11
We have an HP 1210 All in one printer/scanner.
With 10.4 there was a very clear and user friendly utility provided by HP that enabled good scan control.
It enabled multiple choices of destination filetype and multiple pages scanned into a single document.
Now I have 10.6.
I have done S/W update both with printer connected and disconnected.
I have been offered and have downloaded the latest version of s/w from HP.
Nowhere on my Mac is there a file that has any name like HP, Hewlett Packard or PSC or 1210
The utility is there somewhere because I can print, and, if I have the printer active, I can use the utility to check ink levels etc.
However the ONLY scan facility is the Mac IMage Capture.
This only does single pages and only scans to jpeg.
What do I have to do to get my full scan control facility back and active as provided by HP

steve.br wrote:
However I repeat, There is no s/w that the system can find that is labled HP, Hewlett or PSC or 1200. Not in applications or Utilities or anywhere I can see.
If I use the Finder File Find utility I can search for files with any of those attributes and nothing related is found.
Path should be HD/Library/Printers/hp
Within the hp folder are several folders with one titled "Utilities" and within that folder is the application HP Utility
Path HD/Library/Printers/hp/Utilites/HP Utility
Since it's to be accessed from the System Preferences Print & Fax tab/pane/icon or within Image Capture, that is why those files are not in the Applications folder nor Utilities folder. It is not to be launched directly, i.e., double clicked. Be careful accessing files in the main Library folder (i.e., HD/Library/).
FYI: I have all those folders on all my computers each using a different OS even though the only HP printer I use is a 1995 Laserjet 4MV.
I Have just done a test using the SystemPreferences Printer area and get sent to the Image capture function.
So, that was after clicking the Scan tab in System Preferences > Print & Fax? It's most likely using the HP Software that you noted downloading in your original post. It is not using some phantom software.
I want to be able to save a multiple page document file in .pdf format.
I use Acrobat Professional to scan as PDF with a Brother multifuction device that is equiped with a 30 page auto document feeder (ADF). Since the HP 1210 is a flat-bed scanner, it seems that your wish can be achieved by scanning and saving each page as separate documents and then combining those documents. I cannot remember whether Apple Preview in 10.6.x offers combining PDFs but there are a number of freeware and shareware apps that can.
Is there a conversion capability that would convert from .jpeg to .pdf
Apple Preview, Adobe Photoshop, GraphicConverter are just a few apps that come to mine.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome. A lot has changed since Mac OS 10.4.11. Hope the above helps too.

HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install. I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer. Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS? My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

Hello,
Here is a link to a support document on hp.com on how to install on OS X Mavericks.

Hi there,
I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Hp psc 1210 all in one printer feeding error

I have a model 1210 all in one printer and it will not feed paper. it sounds like something its working, but not gripping the paper. PLEASE ADVISE

Hello @anne0701 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're experiencing paper feed issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest following the steps in this video on PSC feed issues:

HP PSC 1210 all-in-one pen failure issue

I have an hp psc 1210 all-in-one printer and recently replaced both print cartridges. Then, when I went to print it said that i had a pen failure. I then discovered online that this could be because of dirty cartridge contacts, so I cleaned them as instructed. After allowing them time to dry, I returned them to the printer and plugged it back in. However, now the printer will not turn on at all. What is wrong with my printer?

Which wireless all in one printers work best with ipad 4

Please help me decide which wireless all in one printer works best with the ipad 4. I am looking for better photo printing quality, but not the very best. I am concerned mainly with being able to set up the printer using only my ipad 4 and wireless router, as I do not own a PC with a cd/rom. I am also interested in which brand of compatible printers is less expensive to buy ink and paper for. I would prefer a more compact unit. Thank you in advance for any advice.

These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as anyone else's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.
