HP 1522nf printing job won't start

Hi:
I have the HP 1522nf. I always leave the printer power on. Sometimes like once a month, the printer job will not start. I can still go into the printer setting website. (192.168.1.x) But whenever I print, the transfer will stuck at about 68.2kb, and just won't print anything. I have a restart the printer, and then everything is back to normal. I also tried to unplug the printer's network, it will print out eventually just right after I unplug it. And then print out a error message saying "syntax error" offending command: --nostringval--. What's the problem here?
I have the newest firmware.
Thanks.

Hi,
From the Desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button.
Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find the job has been removed.

DP-K

Print Jobs won't start

After several years of trouble-free printing from my Blue Dalmation iMac to a HP Deskjet 630 printer, it's all suddenly gone wrong.
Recently I zapped my PRAM and ever since I've been unable to get the Print Jobs to start. Every time I click 'Start Jobs' it immediately goes back to 'Print Jobs Stopped' and nothing will print.
I went into the Printer Setup Utility, hit Reset Printing System and tried to add the HP printer again. But when I do that I get "Error:-9672".
Someone please help! I can't print anything at the moment and I'm in a right old stew without a printer!

Hi again!
Right - I've sorted out the repairing permissions problem (I had indeed accidentally trashed the BaseSystem.pkg - I replaced it from my laptop and all is fine).
Having done that I repaired permissions, rebooted both my Mac and the printer...
But I still get exactly the same error message when trying to add the printer.
Could this be something to do with HP Printers and the latest OSX Security Update? I've noticed a couple of HP printer users further down this part of the forum seem to have had the same problem.

Windows 7 print spooler won't start

I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 545 from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium a week ago and have only been able to print one document since then.
Under Vista my Canon MP610 and Lexmark 705 printers both worked, but no luck with Windows 7.
I keep getting the message Print Spooler isn't started.
I've tried starting it from the services dialog box and it just won't go. I've run an SCN scan and no problems were found.
My printers do work because our MacBook in the kitchen can get them to print from our wireless network.
Help!

Hello,
This problem is caused by the corrupted Printer Spooler service. Try the following steps to repair it:
Step 1
======
Start Windows Explorer, and then rename all files and folders in the following two folders:
c:\windows\system32\spool\printers
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86
To rename a file, we can right click the file and select Rename.
Step 2
======
1. Click Start, type REGEDIT in the Start Search Bar, and then press ENTER.
2. Navigate to and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environment\Windows NT x86
View the list of subkeys. There should be only the following subkeys:
Drivers
Print Processors
If there are any keys other than those listed above, follow these steps:
a. On the File menu, click Export.
b. In the File Name box, type a descriptive name for this key -- for example, type WindowsNTx86regkey -- and then click Save to save it to your local Desktop.
We can use this backup of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environment\Windows NT x86 registry key to restore the key if you experience any problems after you complete this procedure.
c. Delete all keys other than Drivers and Print Processors.
Step 3
======
Navigate to and click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors registry key. View the list of subkeys. There should be only the following subkeys:
BJ Language Monitor
Local Port
Microsoft Document Imaging Writer Monitor
Microsoft Shared Fax Monitor
Standard TCP/IP Port
USB Monitor
WSD Port
If there are any keys other than those listed in above, follow these steps to delete them:
a. On the File menu, click Export.
b. In the File Name box, type a descriptive name for this key -- for example, type Monitorsregkey -- and then click Save to save it to your local Desktop.
We can use this backup of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors registry key to restore the key if you experience any problems after you complete this procedure.
c. Delete all keys other than the 5 listed above.

Printer jobs won't restart

Hi there, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a printing problem I'm having.
I have a 1.42ghz PPC mac mini running ver 10.3.9, my printer is an Epson R200.
The computer has suddenly developed a fault whereby printing to this printer is not possible, as any time you send a document to the printer the icon with the exclamation point appears in the dock and it says that the printer job queue is stopped. If you click on the button to re-start the jobs, a message comes up for a few seconds saying "opening printer connection" After a few seconds this dissappears and the jobs remain stopped.
I have tried repairing/verifying permissions , this did not appear to have any effect. I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
I also downloaded an application called printer setup repair, which allowed me to restore OS X's printing system. This actually seemed to fix the problem, however after printing 2 documents the problem re-surfaced.
I have ruled out there being any hardware problem with the printer, as I can print perfectly from my powerbook. In fact, the only way I can print to the R200 from the mac mini is by using my powerbook with printer sharing turned on.
If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix the problem, any input would be most gratefully received.
Gordo.

Hello Gordon,
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
`I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
What are you meaning with I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER??
On the in-stall CD that came with your printer is a un-installer, you have to use that to get rid of ALL drives. After you finish re-install the printer.
When you do so unplug everything that is connected to the computer to the printer. Shut down the printer, when everything is back on an plugged in than press the power button on the printer.
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

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 !!!!

Print job won't delete on my 8600

I have a print job in my que that is stuck in delete mode. I did change print cartridges halfway through that print job, though I am pretty sure it did get finished the other day.

I have a Dell C3760dn printer set up as a network printer on my server. 2003. There is a print job that will not delete. Two questions:1) short of uninstalling and reinstalling this printer, how do I get the document to delete? I've gone into the control panel, Devices & Printers, found thenetwork printer, right clicked, cancel all documents. Didn't delete.I have stopped, restarted the print spooler, there's nothing in the Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS file. I've tried deleting the document in the queue directly from my server and from the end user that generated the print job. I've turned off the printer, restarted print spooler, tried to delete the document...nothing.I have tried everything and it just will not delete. I don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall this printer every time a doc from this one user hangs up. Is...

Print jobs won't automatically drop from the print queue after printing

I just bought an Envy 7640. When printing multiple documents, the first print job hangs in the queue after it prints, which prevents subsequent jobs from printing. The first job continues to show a status of Printing after it prints the job. I have to manually go into the queue and cancel the finished job before the next job in the queue will print. Having to clear the queue manually each time a print job finishes is not an acceptable fix to the problem. How can I get the printer to automatically delete the print job after it prints like it's supposed to do?

Thank you for your reply. The steps that you sent are for print jobs that you cannot delete from the queue. I also found those instructions earlier, however, it doesn't apply to the problem I'm having with my printer. I don't have a problem deleting print jobs from the queue. As my previous post stated, when I print multiple documents, the first document prints but it stays in the queue with a status of Printing. Because it stays in the queue with the Printing status, it prevents the second and subsequent documents from printing. My problem is that I have to go to the queue after every single job prints and delete it from the queue to allow the next document to print. It's ridiculous to have to delete every job from the queue after it prints. The printer should automatically delete the job after it prints it, and then print the next job in the queue. How can I make the printer delete a job automatically after it prints it?? Can you please give me a resolution to this problem? Thank you.

Print Jobs Stopped & Cannot Start

Canon BJC-8200 USB Printer
From within any application, after completing the Page Setup, and choosing Print, completed choices... then click on Print.
Going to Printer Setup Utility, my printer shows, Jobs Stopped. I click on Start Jobs. For just a moment, it appears the job is starting, then suddenly it shows Jobs Stopped.
Using the installed Canon driver software (up to date), and in BJC-8200 utility, it shows Jobs Stopped. I repeat the steps as with Printer Setup Utility, and get the same results...
Both utilities show my printer and show Jobs Stopped.
PBti 660 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Canon Driver v1.4.3 for Mac OS X

Try these generic steps one at a time:
Delete and re-ADD the printer(s) in Printer Setup.
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

Job Won't Start Processing

I'm running Compressor 3.0.5 and Snow Leopard. Everything's been running smoothly until yesterday. When I submit a job, either from Final Cut or by adding a file directly to Compressor, the job's message quickly changes to "Unknown time remaining" but it never starts crunching.
Batch Monitor shows a job that's stuck on Canceling. I can't remove it from the list. I'm assuming this is what's clogging up the works. How can I get around this?

Ah, I forgot about that thing! That cleared it from the list, but so far hasn't solved the problem of not actually starting to process my files.
Right now, I dragged a PhotoJPEG movie file into the window like I've done a million times before. I then hit Submit (already have my custom default setting) and wait.
Usually, it will think for a second or two, then quickly the progress bar would jump to 33%. This type of job should only take a minute and a half. It's now over 10 min. without a single blip on the progress bar.
Very frustrating.

HP4710 all in one printer - just won't start up

HP4710 all in one printer start up screen display just keeps cycling but never gets to usual finish screen. Hence cannot even use HP diagnostic tool. Have tried the obvious stuff - ie on/ off button & disconecting/ reconnecting power but same happens. All fine until yesterday. Nothing has changed - except it now can't seem to complete it's boot up process. Is there any other soft or hard reset I can try?

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps from the article below to troubleshoot a scanner as well as a printer:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

Printer Spooler Won't Start

Dear HP Forum, When I try to print something or add a printer, it says printer spooler service not runnning. I found ways to fix the problem. I went to services.msc to printer spooler and when I tried to start the service it said error: 0x800706b9 Not enough resoucres are available to complete this operation. Can you please help I need to print really important documents. Sincerely, HP Printer Customer

If Adil's suggestion does not work then try the command below. This will clear out your current dependencies on the spooler and leave it with just RPCSS which should allow you to start print spooler. Remember to run this from and Administrative
command prompt by going to your start screen and typing in "cmd" and then right clicking on Command Prompt and selecting Run As Administrator.
sc config spooler depend=rpcss
do not work for me at all: get the error msg:
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

Jobs won't start.

N1 System Manager version 1.3.1 has stopped being able to start jobs, the reason given within the job status is "Job Startup Failure: Invocation failure. Please resubmit the job." but I can find no log entries elsewhere or any other diagnostics which can tell me what the problem might be.
The system used to work but stopped sometime between last November and now, so I'm guessing that a patch has broken the system somehow. The system is fully patched (according to PatchPro).
Showrev produces the following output (censored):
Hostname: head
Hostid: xxxxxxxx
Release: 5.10
Kernel architecture: i86pc
Application architecture: i386
Hardware provider:
Domain: xxxxx.xx.xx.xx
Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 Generic_125101-10
I've seen one report that having IPv6 configured on an interface can stop jobs running but none of the interfaces have this configured, here's the output from ifconfig -a:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1

The system is a v40z.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could go about diagnosing this problem further or even a possible pointer to a solution?

The "Job Startup Failure" typically indicates that there was some type of problem initiating the job in the underlying job management component (aka N1SPS). If N1SPS is not running or is misconfigured then this error could happen. One quit fix to try is to rerun n1smconfig (don't need to change any values) which can restart N1SPS. First shutdown N1SM then rerun n1smconfig.
If one of your patches was for N1SPS then that could have broken N1SM. N1SM depends upon a specific version of N1SPS which is bundled with N1SM.
You can also look in the syslog on the N1SM management server for any messages which might be relevant for your problem.

Print jobs won't collate with quarkxpress 6.1

Recently upgraded to imac running mac os x 10.4.4 and it will not collate, when printing multiple docs in quarkxpress 6.1. I have most recently updated ppd and have tried all different printing protocols. Does anyone know what this might be about? It collates when printing through other programs, but not quark! Any help would be much appreciated.

The information about your print server from the dlink site are as follows:
"Product Features:
• Version 1.1 USB Port for Connection to USB Printer
• Includes Windows-based Administrative Program"
The link you referenced was for a connection to a Mac OS X Server with 10.5 server software.
That is not your setup.
- Make sure the printer does not need USB 2.0
- You must have had a Windows based computer to set it up originally.
- The server may need to be configured for the printer - which means you need a windows machine to configure it and you likely will need to install the drivers on the windows computer.
- If you did not need a printer driver for the previous printer then the print server must have been configured with the driver and it is unlikely you need to install a driver with Leopard.
- You likely will only have to choose the shared printer from the shared printer section of the Print window, once the print server is configured with the new drivers.
