HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

OfficeJet J4550 All-In-One not scanning or copying; only prints from certain sites

I have a HP Pavillion Slimline 400 and my will not scan or copy, and only prints from certain sites. I have uninstalled and installed the software driver numerous times and still get a "scanner not working" message. I have also unplugged and turned off and replugged in the USB and the power cords several times. Currently, I have uninstalled the printer software, so I have no recognizable printer on my PC. Help!!

Hello bran1288,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning and printing from a select few sites.
I have a few steps that we can try 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.
As for printing from web pages, please make sure that you have your firewall or anti virus settings turned down as well as the Pop-up blocker disabled. If this does not resolve the issue, maybe try another web browser such as Mozilla fire fox or Google Chrome.
As for the scanning issue, so I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Please write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

C5140 All-In-One - page in queue won't print (Vista)

After hard drive crashed in July, got new hard drive (OS Vista still). Installed printer - fine . Used recently, wouldn't print - the page would get held up in the queue. Reinstalled printer disk, message said I needed new driver, installed one 11/15, everything worked fine. Today, 11/16, went to print from MS Word, page stuck in queue again.
Suggestions? Thanks! Sue

Hi Sue,
It sounds like an issue with the print spooler in the services. I would suggest running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) 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.
Please let me know the outcome of the PSDR. I will respond back with the specific troubleshooting steps depending on what the PSDR says. With any luck the PSDR will resolve the issue and you'll be printing in no time.

New HP Pavillion All-in-one PC 20-b014 ( and moving information from old computer)

Hello,
I apologize if this has been asked before....but would appreciate some assistance.
I currently have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5310y desktop PC (running Windows 7) and just purchased the HP Pavillion All-in-one PC 20-b014(Windows 8). I was wondering if it was possible to migrate some of my information directly from my old computer to my new computer. If not, what would be the best/easiest way to move some of the current information (Turbo tax folders and Itunes) to my new computer.
My knowledge base in this process is limited, so if it can be explained in a "For Dummies" fashion, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
JC Gal

for change the information use a usb or pendrive, the software itunes dont is posible because only woks with every laptop
you need run one more time software itunes on new laptop
or check with support itunes
best regards

HP2540 A-i-O Scans but won't print. Windows 8.1

My new PC, running Windows 8.1, forced me to buy a new printer, as it doesn't support drivers for my old 6122!
I have installed the printer for wireless operation, through my home hub, and Diagnostic Results says "No problems found." All results are "Pass". The printer is listed in Devices and in the document print menu, and on trying to print a document, the doc appears in the Print Queue for about 10 seconds, and then disappears without registering on the printer's counter.
The printer scans perfectly!
Print & Scanner Doctor downloads, but stops during extraction, saying that it has encountered an (unspecified) error.
This has been frustrating me for several days, as I have tried everything.

Hello @Woolwinder , and weclome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're experiencing print issues. I would like to help!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP Deskjet 3520 All-in-one, after scan get message that I don't have enough memory.

HP deskjet 3520 A-I-O. Using Win 7, SP1.
Scan using Paper Port 12 to main desktop folder. Been doing it for weeks with no problem. All of a sudden I get a message after the scan that the printer doen't have enough memory to put the scan in the desktop folder. Tells me to turn off other running programs. There are no other programs running other than the ones I have had in the background during the privious hundred scans. Just in case I unpinned several shortcuts on the deaktop and from the Start bar. Still says not enough memory.
Turned everything off and back on...no change. Just prior I did change some of my default settings concerning my browser and CD/DVD, but nothing regarding the All-in-One.
I know that the printer puts data in memory before printing but I thiught that it was a temp file. Is there a place where information is stored long term? And if so can I clear it? What am I missing?

Hi Dadwpr,
Here is a link from Microsoft on how to run the Memory Diagnostics Tool.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer
Also I was wondering if you have changed the dpi of the scan and if you have tried a different folder to scan to?
Click on how to scan with Hp software, it will give you how to check scan settings.

HP Office Jet J6480 All In One - will not scan with Mac OS 10.8 .3

I have been unable to get my HP Office Jet J6480 All In One to scan after upgrading to 10.8.3.I have followed other posts and have installed the most up to date driver (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) but each time i try to scan from the HP device manager or the photosmart studio, it says "Sorry, scanner could not be intialized. (scanner not found)" I have tried making sure there are no other updates by clicking on settings in the device manager and clicking check for updates but it tells me "server not availalbe - the software service is currently not available. please try again later" and i have gotten this error for the last week.
I followed the second set of instructions found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Software-Update-Server-Unavailable/td-p/18... to try to resolve that issue and have installed the software found at the link. I rebooted my computer and am still having the same problem.
Note: My printer is wireless and i have not hooked it up via a cord. Will that make a difference?
My printer seems to be printing fine.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This question was solved.

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
