HP 4500 Envy won't Queue Text Documents of Any Kind (but prints test pages and pictures)

I have a brand new HP 4500 Envy that was working fine for a few weeks and now won't print text documents of any kind - .txt, .doc, .pdf, you name it. I can print pictures and test pages but that's it. I've already tried the HP Print Doctor, updating the drivers and the like, but none of these solutions work. I need to get this up and running quickly - any suggestions? --- Thanks

I have the same problem.
I think that it should be related with Windows 7 SP1.
I installed on 2 different laptops, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows 8 and there I can print all kind of type documents.
But on my HP 1120 can I not print any document, only jpeg and scan works.
And here I have Windows 7 SP.

Hello @Emilio66,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when trying to print from Microsoft Office and Test Pages from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer. However, you are able to print from all other programs from your computer to your printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this printing issue.
Recently Microsoft has released a Hot Fix to correct 'Offline' or 'Partial Printing' issues within their latest Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems as they recognize this as an issue within their Operating System. The issue occurs when you have a networked printer and a corruption with the WSD (network) port on the Windows Operating System. This issue appears to affect a variety of networked makes and models of printers. Therefore, I am going to have you run the Hot Fix to correct the network printing issue. Please click here to install the Hot Fix. Once the website opens select the button for Hotfix Download Available. Please follow any onscreen prompts to install the fix. Once the fix is installed you should have no issues printing to your printer.
If the printing issue persists, can I please have you click here to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, software, or connection conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you. Once the Tool has completed please test printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

OfficejetPro 8000 won't stop cleaning, printing test pages

Every time just after we print, our Officejet Pro 8000 A809 prints a test page, then starts cleaning and nothing can be printed again for several minutes. The test page can be canceled, but not the cleaning cycle. If we add several documents to the print queue quickly, it will print those documents, but always the test page and cleaning cycle afterwards. The cleaning cycle seems to be using a lot of ink. The page it's printing has CMYK stripes down each side and bars running down the middle, some slanted.
I've tried resetting the printer by unplugging it, the queue doesn't show any errors, and neither does the HP "Solution" Center.
Thanks for any help.

Just a quick update as HP seem completely incapable of answering threads here, offering advice (tried their woeful helpline which just reiterated advice I'd already read in the manual), or helping their customers at all. I've returned the printer to the supplier, as it was completely intolerable, after 3 days of its cleaning process (twice taking over 15 minutes) it refused to print half the colours, and after yet more cleaning it exhausted the inks – it I hadn't paid for the device, I'd have laughed... To market and sell this device as a small workgroup printer is ridiculous, it doesn't even properly function as a printer at all. We've been purchasing HP devices since the 550C way back in the early 1990s, but will never purchase a printer from HP again. Slowly but surely the devices have become cheaper, poorly built, with the focus on tiny ink cartridges to fleece the customer. I'm absolutely disgusted with the lack of assistance, support, let alone the truly abysmal device which is/was the 8000.

Won't print to photo tray, but will print test page

I have most current Vista driver, but can't print to photo tray. It won't pull the tray in, although it works great when printing test page. I tried various page/paper settings and "photo tray" light settings, but still won't print from Vista.
Tried 8250 printer properties, changing paper settings, but can't recognize settings, even though it sees the paper and prints the test page. Seemed to work just fine with XP.
This question was solved.

Plugged into an XP machine, photo printed.
Plugged back into Vista, fooled with the settings, then it worked!
I don't know what exactly fixed it...

Adobe PDF printer no output. Did 'Print Test Page', but never got out of queue (Acrobat X Pro;Win 7)

I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7 environment. At Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers, I did a 'Print Test Page' when I right-clicked on the Adobe Printer icon and clicked Printer properties. The 'Save PDF File As' prompt came up and I entered the filename and chose the folder location. Next, I clicked the 'Save' button in the prompt.
I could not locate the pdf file at the folder I had designated the test page to be saved to. So I checked the printer queue. The test page was still in the queue, but nothing was happening. What do I need to do to rectify this problem? Thank you very much.

I figured it out.
Adobe PDF cannot parse the quotes in any title that firfox passes to it.
So if your page has a " in it. The PDF printer does not parse " right.

The page is an alignment page. Complete the alignment as shown on page 33 of the user manual here. After the page is printed it needs to be loaded in the scanner bed and the Start Copy Black button pressed to somplete the alignment.

OfficeJet Pro 8500A won't print test page

This printer suddenly won't print, even a test page. When I try to print from another program I get an error message, document gets stuck in print que. Wireless is recognized. Scan Doctor found printer, still it won't print. Suggestions?

Hi
The problem seems to be with the print spooler service.
since you have already tried the print scan doctor
we can try doing it manually.
Firstly Determine whether the printer is paused or offline
Return to the Devices and printers folder that you opened earlier in this document.
Right-click the name of the product, and then click See what's printing .
Click Printer .
On the print queue menu bar, click Printer , and then look for the Pause Printing and Use Printer Offline items in the menu.
Make sure that there is no checkmark next to either item. If a checkmark displays next to either item, click to clear it.
If these steps resolved the issue , you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists , continue to the next solution
Manually clear the print queue
Return to the Devices and printers folder that you opened earlier in this document.
Right-click the name of the product, and then click See what's printing .
Click Printer , and then click Cancel All Documents .
Click Yes to confirm the action.
If documents remain in the print queue, restart the computer.
Try printing again.
If these steps resolved the issue , you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists , continue to the next solution.
Restart the Print Spooler device
On the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon ( ), type admin in the Search programs and files box, and then click Administrative Tools .
Double-click Services .
Right-click Print Spooler .
Click Stop to stop the Print Spooler.
Click Start to restart the Print Spooler.
Restart the computer.
Try the print job again

HT202879 recently saved a Pages document to Dropbox. Now I cannot open it in the new Pages app, and I cannot use the previous Pages version to open it. Attempting to open the document gives me a flash of a page and then the program crashes. Anybody have a

I can go to Time Machine and find the document, even read it in Time Machine, but when I try to restore this version I get the same crash. I cannot open with Text or RTF. Preview opens a fuzzy version and can save out as a .PDF, but when I try to convert the .PDF to Word I get a bunch of unusual characters. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

OK, I've tried all these tips. Here's what I finally have to do: I open Time Machine. I click on the Pages file and open the Pages file in the Time Machine window. (Restore does not work; nothing works).
When the Pages file opens, I begin taking screenshots using shift-command-3. I take shots of all 200+ pages of this document. The screenshots are saved to my desktop.
I then move all 200+ screenshots into one folder, because, face it, that's too many icons to work with on one desktop screen.
Then I select all the screenshots in the folder at once and open them all in Preview. Then I crop every screenshot using command-K, and save using command-S, and then close that image using command-W.
When I have cropped all 200+ screenshots, I go back through the folder one by one and adjust the color on each one, moving the mid-range color up to about 75% and the sharpness filter up to about 75%, in order to compensate for the fuzzy image of the screenshot. You can't create a searchable PDF with an image that fuzzy. I do this one by one.
I make sure everything is saved.
Then I open all 200+ edited screenshots in Preview and print them out.
Then I take the 200+ pages of this ****** Pages file and run them through my scanner, making searchable 600 dpi PDFs.
Then I go to each of the 200+ PDFs and highlight the text, copy, and paste into a NEW word processing document.
If I'd had 300 pages like the last manuscript, or 700 pages like the one before that, I would have created an Automator program to do all that, but hey, this is not the kind of **** you expect from Apple. Really. It's taken all week.
So thanks for your help guys, but no other suggestions worked. I tried to force a download of the file from Dropbox, but got the same result. Besides, my Dropbox folder is saved locally on my harddrive, so it's not their fault. In fact, there is no data in the Dropbox folder under this file name, only preview files. Somehow the Time Machine will open the complete Pages file while in Time Macine, but will not import the saved Time Machine version to the working desktop because it is a preview (i.e., not Preview) image. This is a Pages problem, not a Dropbox problem. Pages did not save the full file.
If anybody knows a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it. If anybody knows whether I will ever be able to trust Pages again, I'd like to know that too.

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

HP Laserjet CP1525 printing test page but not other documents

My laserjet printer is not printing any documents. When I got into the properties, the properties program freezes. For some reason the test page prints, but when I try to get anything else to print it won't do it. The IP address has not changed, but my wireless was down for a short time this AM. Can I disable to printer and then re-enable it again without having to hook up the ethernet cable to get the wireless to work correctly?

Did that. Now I can't even print a test page. Do I have to reinstall using the ethernet cable because I do not know the steps to doing that and I just removed the printer and then reinstalled as a local printer. It doesn't seem to be connected at all now. It says its connected onthe LPT port and it is just on wireless. It still prints config pages so it's working.Can you tell me the steps to doing it with the ethernet cable?
