HP 2200D printer won't work

I have a HP Laserjet 2200D printer, and it won't work on my Macbook, nor on my Windows 8.1 laptop and not even on a Windows 7 laptop. The drivers were installed automatically when the printer was plugged in. When I give an order to print, the printer pre-heats, but it doesn't print. In stead all 3 indicatorlights light up constantly. I do not know what to do. The old cardridge was replaced with a new one. The printer will also not function when given an order to testprint, or when to clean.

OK, I have just answered (part of) my own question.
Re-installing the HP Laserjet package has duplicated drivers for most of the HP laserjet printers in my list of drivers. If I select the second entry of the two identical appearances of the drivers for my printers, they start working again; if I select the first appearance they don't work. So now my printers are working again.
This still doesn't explain why Software Update prompted me to re-install an already installed package. It also gives me the issue of removing all the duplicate entries from my list of drivers, unless I am prepared to live with the clutter and waste of HD space. Any thoughts about how to do this without bombing my printers again?
Thanks.

  • HP LaserJet printer won't work following update

    I have just installed the latest Apple update for HP Laserjet printers (9 Sept 2008), and now my HP 2605dn color LaserJet printer won't work. Most applications just quit when I try to print; MS Word just hangs at the dialog box when I press Enter.
    I can access the printer utility OK via the Print Preferences.
    Has anybody any thoughts why this should be so, and how do I proceed to get my printer working again?
    Thanks.

  • Printer won't work - CUPS failed

    I am trying to get my new Canon MF4890DW printer to work with Mac OS X v10.7.5 Lion to no avail. When trying to print any document (web page, or a simple TextEditor file), the printer queue pops up and it errors out with "/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPS_MF_Printer/Bins/capdftopdl failed." I have pasted the detailed logs below.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I tried connecting the printer using USB and interestingly this time the error log showed "Sent 0 bytes" along with the "unsupported size" error message. Does it mean that some app/utility is unable to determine the document size?

  • Printer won't work with Mavericks

    Since downloading Mavericks, my HP printer won't work--at the office AND at home.  Please help.
    I've done everything I think was suggested from removing HP software, reseting printing, factory default of printer--everything!
    Please help!

    I guess from reading your message that Mavericks just hasn't got the drivers from HP to support this.  You don't specify what model printer you are using but I would suggest that this issue here is that either your PH printer is an old model or that you need to go looking towards the HP website and see what their responses are to providing the appropriate drivers.  You're not alone sadly and this is the problem when you move forward with the times and the ancilliary equipment you have come to rely on is no longer up to speed.  Good luck!

  • Printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • Panasonic KX-p7105 printer won't work on new mac - has disk for Mac OS 9.2

    I finally switched to a Mac and am so disappointed that my great laser printer won't work. It prints pages of gibberish. My driver disk is for an older version of mac and won't open. I get a message saying "You can't open the network setup tool because the classic environment is no longer supported." I've since searched the net for drivers and can only find windows versions. Is this hopeless? Should I return my Mac (I'm still within the 14 days and don't want to buy another laser printer).
    Any options?

    Here's what John was talking about:
    http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Panasonic-KX-P7105
    You need the 3-part hpijs driver:

    (these are standard Mac installers - .dmg disk image files)

  • Apple update for Epson printers (16 Aug 13) has produced "rastertoescpII quit unexpectedly" message (and printer won't work)

    Hello,
    I don't think I will be able to give you any points since I am not the OP, but thank you so much for your answer.
    I had a problem accessing the iTunes Store and APP Store last night although I had wi-fi access.  AppleCare had me delete the "system configuration" folder in Preferences and everthing worked fine afterwards.
    But, this morning my printer would not print.  It's Sunday and I can't get through to Epson, so I started a search at this forum and found your response.  Sure enough, even though I did not do a software update, the trashing of the System Configuration folder removed the computer name that always shows in Sharing.
    I typed it back in and now I am able to print.  Again, thank you.
    B.

  • Color printing won't work

    This is truly vexing. First time I have encountered anything like it. Any help would be much appreciated.
    When using Acrobat X with an Epson LP-S4500 printer, the color printing won't work. It works with Acrobat Reader on another computer. I didn't think to test printing with another program on my computer. It's worked fine when I tested one page as a PDF print. It's been so long I'm not sure if the print black and white or grey-scale option is usually available but I can't image why it wouldn't be. There is no such option in my printing panel. I went into advanced settings and changed it from the default grey scale (again, have no idea why that is the default) to Adobe RGB and even though the preview shows color, the print itself still comes out in grey-scale.

    Es handelt sich hier um einen Canon iR C3080.
    Betriebssystem Client: XP
    Betriebssystem Server: Windows 2003 R2
    Die Einstellungen standardmässig auf Farbe: Auto, ich habe Sie noch auf Farbig eingestellt, das er explizit jedes Mal in Farbe druckt.

  • Downloaded Yosemite this AM on blind faith. Now printer won't work.

    Now printer won't work. "Epson not supported" Have a Artisan 730. In middle of job. So sick of updates that are not ready, eating my hours and hours.
    Is solution to buy a new printer? Can I "System Restore" on an iMAC and get rid of this "update"?
    I have tried to reset WiFi, rebooted, tried to reload CD setup, nothing works. Meanwhile will go plug printer into XPS One2710.

    Your printer is supported, according to OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support (Epson drivers) and About AirPrint - Apple Support (AirPrint). Don't use the cd that came with the printer to install the drivers, those are out of date.
    Delete the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folder, delete the printer, and then add it using AirPrint (without installing any drivers) or download the Epson drivers from Software Update or Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X.
    Hope this helps.

  • Que:  Lion upgrade -now HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.

    Que:  Lion and now my HP Laserjet 1200 printer won't work.  I've downloaded the appropriate driver from the Apple site and it's not on HP's list of printers that won't work with Lion - any other suggestions?

    My Laserjet 1200 works under Lion, so it is possible. I don't recall loading any special drivers for it to work, and HP doesn't have any Lion-specific drivers available.  In System Preferences, under Print and Scan, did you add the HP Laserjet 1200?  

  • HP Printer Won't Work With Snow Leopard

    Hi, I hope you can help. I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and my HP printer won't print. It is a Laserjet 1015 and new drivers are meant to be on the list with SN. My iMac recognises the printer is there but cannot make a connection. I am networking it using an Airport which is working fine. I have even reset the printer system and deleted the printer and added it again but after starting to process a document to print it just stops.
    The other thing is that Pages v 1.0.2 also won't work now. I can open the software, but it can't open any existing documents nor will it open a new blank template. This is my work software (I'm a journalist) so this is a real worry. Any suggestions??
    Thanks so much
    Jo

    Hi JoJoh,
    I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
    As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
    Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

  • PLEASE HELP! Lexmark printer won't work!

    I just upgraded to snow leopard today and I'm already having some big problems. The worst of them is that my Lexmark X1185 won't work anymore. It used to work fine in leopard, but since I upgraded, I can't scan, print or do anything else.
    Here's what I tried to do to solve the problem:
    1. Tried to reinstall it from the manufacter CD (that didn't work cause snow leopard would crash every time I tried to open this CD).
    2.Deleted the printer in "Print and Fax System" under system preferences, and then added my printer again (also didn't work).
    3. Tried to look for drivers (the latest driver to the Lexmark X1100 series, wich my printer belongs, was for Tiger. It also didn't work.
    Also, when I turn on the computer, I get this error message: “/Library/StartupItems/LexSleeperX.app” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I urgently need my printer....
    Edit: I'm running 10.6.1, my Mac is an aluminum iMac, 2.4Ghz, 1Gb RAM

    /usr/libexec/cups/backend/usb failed or Missing USB Class Driver
    I have been experiencing the same issues printer there but no one home!
    I have spent 6 (yes 6) hours on the phone to Lexmark today, they advised that it was due to the format of my Hard Disk not supporting their drivers. Apparently they do not support Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) which means I will need to reformat the hard disk correctly to not be Case Sensitive. Apparently this will affect any driver installed.
    To find out if this is the case go FINDER > Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities (look bottom left FORMAT) I don't have any other solution to this. Spoke to Apple and they said if thats whats suggested by Lexmark then thats what needs to be done! Good Luck

  • Flashed to 1.20 but now printer won't work

    I successfully flashed to 1.20 and everything is working great but with one problem--my printer won't print!  I have reinstalled it, that didn't work.  It is not the printer because it works when hooked up to other computers.  Before I flashed the bios and updated the via drivers the printer worked fine.  
    The pc detects the printer and it says that it is installed and working fine, I never get any error messages when I print, it just dosn't do anything.
    I noticed that when I try to print, in the "see whats printing box" it flashes the printing job really quick with an icon in the left corner that looks like the icon windows uses when it dosn't recognize the file, then nothing happens.
    Had anybody had this problem?
    Any advice would be welcome
    the printer is a Hewlett Packard 710c and the drivers are the ones windows xp comes with.

    Same problem here, only a different model (HP 5150) with the supplied drivers on CD.  I can't get it to print anything and I tried all USB ports
    Anybody out there who knows what I'm doing wrong?
