HP 5150 printer problem fixed

I was having a strange issue with my HP printer 5150 and printing Entourage emails that were more than one page long. I contacted tech support at HP via email and was instructed to delete this preference and that preference, unplug the USB to the printer, a folder or two but was still having the same problem (the paper would feed a couple of inches, back out again- all in slow motion- feed again a little bit, back up, then finally feed the paper-not in a smooth motion- through slowly and print the last page. About 4" of the sheet would remain in the printer when it was done and then spit it all the way out.) so I replied and said all still wasn't right. So the tech support person said that to open an email- select Page Setup- Format for- select printer (mine was set to Any Printer....) and try again.... I did and it works just fine!! So the simplest answer was the one that worked. Maybe if someone else is having an issue with printing (particularly Entourage messages) will find this helpful. And I have to admit that HP tech support was pretty prompt. Judy

Just a helpful hint I wanted to pass along to someone else that may have the same issue.

Canon has the MF ScanGear v1.30 for Mac OS X. With this software installed you can then set the MF Scan button online (showing USB Scanner or something similar) and then use either the MF Toolbox application (included with the driver) to scan or use Preview to scan your document.

HP LaserJet - network printer problem FIXED

Hi,
I'm aware this may not work for all, but I've sorted my own problems, which I suspect are common to many who still have a really solid HP (or other) network printer that was no longer available since Snow Leopard did away with Apple Talk.
The answer is to do a cold reset on your printer, give it a new IP address, find this IP by printing a configuration page and enter this IP when you go to set up a new printer. In my case, it automatically found the correct drivers. The drivers were never the issue with vanishing printers; it was all about the network IP address. A quick search online and you will find how to do the cold reset and config page. For my 2100TN, it was a case of holding down the cancel button when powering up the printer until the lights flashed for a new IP, and to print, press both buttons.
Hope this helps.

Problem solved.
I upgraded the printer's firmware which resolved the issue.
Thanks anyway! :-)

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY print problem fix

Just like many on these forums, I tried the SAMBA "smb://" hints given on other thread, but had no real success. Just as many newbbies, I was very frustrated that I could not print from my Mini Mac to my windows XP computer that was serving as my printer host. So the I decided to "google" the NT_STATUS messeges, and when over all the results 1 by 1. This is what I found:

Props to Zukutu at the macrumors forums. I think it makes sense, since what I knew of Max X OS, is that it is basiclly a UNIX machine, right?
Now my HP 1115 printer is working perfectly from my Mini Mac. I hope this helps others new to mac.

Hey Guys
I do a lot of printing from Macs to PC printer shares. Here's the steps I use to create the printer connection
- Create a printer on your PC and share it with an easy to remember share name e.g. Test
- Open the Printer Setup Utility on your Mac (it is in
Applications\Utilities)
- Click the Add button on the toolbar
- Hold down the alt/option button and click the More Printers button
- In the top drop down, selected Advanced as the type and select Windows printer via SAMBA as the device
- Give the device a name
- Enter a string in the format as follows in the Device URI box -
smb://DOMAIN\User:Password@Servername/Printqueuename e.g. smb://Sepialine.net\mcahill:[email protected]/Test
- Select the printer model from the bottom list

My "fix" to print problems in LR (using MS XP)

Having had the same problems printing from LR as many others are complaining about, I thought that I might give my 2 cents to what I did to solve (?) the problem. I have to run with current setting in a while to be convinced that it is not just an intermittent fix though ;-)
My problem when printing from LR was that the print came out much too Cyan-Green and somewhat dark when color management where handled by LR. When the same photo was exported to PS Elements (PSE) in Tiff with the Pro-photo color profile embedded, adjustments from LR, and printed using the same driver setting and color management, the print came out fine.
I must mention that I have had fine printout in previous LR versions but I'm not sure when the problem started. But at least from LR version 1.3, 1.3.1 I have had problems printing a proper print.
As I'm not 100% sure what caused the fix, I don't want to leave much info un-documented, so I start by describing my system etc.:
- Athlon 64 3500+ with 2 GB RAM
- Lacie 119 LCD monitor (calibrated with a ColorVision Spyder 2)
- Epson Stylus Photo 890 printer; an old (6-7 years) 6 color dye-sub printer, but it can still produce very good prints. (It is BTW, the A4 printer version of Epson 1290).
- Microsoft XP service pack 2
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3.1.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 5
- Latest Epson 890 printer drivers ver. 5.21/P (from 2004)
- ICC profiles for various Epson printer paper
- Paper used: Ilford Printasia Photo Glossy Paper (but I have tried Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper as well with same results)
I used following setting:
- In printer driver: "No color management" was selected
- LR and PSE color management; printer profile: Epson Stylus Photo 890 Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Rendering Intent: Perceptual
. LR Print sharpening: High
- LR Print resolution: 360ppi
When the photo was opened in PSE and I had printed a small print with above mentioned printer driver/color management settings. The print looked good, but with a little magenta color cast, so I thought that if I used a different printer profile this might help (I have no ICC profile for the Ilford paper). So I chose the "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" instead and printed again, and this time the photo looked as it did on my calibrated monitor. I have to admit I was a bit delighted even though it was from printed from PSE and not from LR, but seeing that color management worked in other applications was a relief.
In PSE, I also I tried changing to a different Rendering Intent before changing printer profile, but with no success.
Another thing that helped further was to change Media Type in printer driver from "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" to "Photo Paper".
After the print success in PSE I went back to LR and changed the Printer Profile to "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" (still with "No color management" and "Photo Paper" selected in printer driver) and printed the photo again. Now the photo looked as good as it did in PSE (!!!???).
Now I have made a few printer preset in LR for various print sizes, and the prints look fantastic. Every time! Do I have to mention that I am a happy guy ? :-)
BTW, remember that a printer preset also saves the printer driver settings. Forgetting this can easily cause some unexpected results.
The only thing is that, I still do not know what fixed the problem, and I am a bit worried that the problem might come back again. Maybe the print related changes made in PSE and the following selection of the same settings in LR did - somehow - "synchronize" LR to a proper color management. Sounds weird, but if it works...
I hope this long explanation was useful to - at least - some of you, who experience printer problems in LR. LR is a fantastic application, and I enjoy using it, but the printer problems has really been frustrating.
Good luck!

Little unclear about the border thing- you say it prints with a too wide border, but also say:
When I print the image with this set up, it still is printed without a border.
It's a factor of your printer, though; some can never print without a margin around all sides; this can be a border, or cut off. Good news, though; you can have a 5 x 7 borderless, or with any size border you wish if you print on larger paper, and trim to taste.

Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.

Printing problem on laser printer attached to Windows XP

Hi,
I am trying to print a test page on Samsung ML-2510 laser printer connected and shared on Win XP. I have a green dot for this printer in Print & Fax on Mac, all looks cool. But I get the message 'On Hold (Authentication required) with red circle in printer status window on Mac. When I hit 'resume printing of selected jobs' it asks me to enter username and password for XP. I do, I hear the printer starting to print something but no page is printed. I have no problems using this printer from other XP machines.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

THIS WORKS, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
I just purchased a vista home premiun computer and was having the same issue making my hp 5150 printer work through a networked xp system that the printer is physically attached to..It now works.. procedure= ( on the vista computer ) remove all old printers and printer drivers from previous attempts.
Go to this address and download this driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?os=2093&softwareitem=dj-46093-3&lc=en&cc=us... HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe ,,click on it and let it install. when it ask if installing a local or network printer (choose network ) continue install. It may tell u the drivers may not install properly, ( install anyway ) It may again tell you the drivers did not install correctly ( do not fix just keep them installed incorrectly ) now leave the print test page window open.
Go to add printer wizard and install new printer ( network printer ) add a local port and type EXACTLY the same path to the xp based printer EXAMPLE= \\lisajunk\printer .....finish wizard and print test page...
I done nothing to the xp computer, my printer and drivers work good on my other networked computers which use xp operating system.
I believe creating the correct port and having the correct path on the vista machine is the key to making this work. I use xp pro SP1 on an old antique 400mhz gateway that my printer is physically attached to.. You need to make sure the printer is being shared on the machine it is physically attached too.

Strange HP Printer Problem

Using Deskjet 5150 and Officejet 5510 with 10.4.5. No problems for many months. Then put through 2 large ( around 60 pages each ) docs on the Deskjet 5150. The 5150 printed out those 2 docs with all the graphics ( maps, graphs, logos ) as rubbish. The 5510 still prints ok and the 5150 prints perfectly ok via my PC ! Reset the whole printer queue as HP advise and of course lost all my drivers. Deleted the HP folder in Printers. Did a combo offline upgrade to 10.4.6 but the drivers and folder never came back. Printer Setup Utility asks for actual driver to be selected - I dont remember it doing that previously. Copied drivers and folder from 10.4.5 clone. Now back to same situation where the 5150 refuses to print graphics properly.
Anybody know what has caused this and how to fix it ?
Have left Printer unplugged, repaired permissions etc.
Spent hours on this - please help !

Hi, D. G.
I don't have either HP printer, but here's a couple of ideas.
1. What is unclear in your post is the application from which you are printing the document or the type of document file.
Without knowing the details, assuming the document is a word processing document, e.g. Word, you could print the document to PDF and then print the PDF. Check the resulting PDF first, then print some test pages from it to the 5150 to see if using PDF gets around whatever problem printing the source document from its application is having with the 5150.
I'm assuming in the above that the 5150 is directly connected to your Mac and not a base-station printer, i.e. one shared by connecting it to an AirPort base station.
2. You wrote: "Deleted the HP folder in Printers. Did a combo offline upgrade to 10.4.6 but the drivers and folder never came back. Printer Setup Utility asks for actual driver to be selected - I dont remember it doing that previously. Copied drivers and folder from 10.4.5 clone."The first step in this series was a major mistake. Then, your attempts to correct the problem went down the wrong path.
After deleting the HP Printers folder, you could have reinstalled the HP printers folder using the instructions in "Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4" then, as an extra precaution, either:
• Reapplied the 10.4.6 Combo Update in case there were HP printer driver updates distributed since the drivers were published on the Tiger Install DVD.
• Downloaded updated drivers, if any, from HP.
Good luck!

Printing problems with HP Laserjet P1005

everything seems to be ok with my printer HP Lasejet P1005, but it just doesn't print. The works are in the gueue and error messages continually is "set the new toner cartridge" althrough I've changed the cartridge already. Also there is a message "HP:s part number"
What can or should I do??? Help!!!

Hi @rlp48,
I see by your post that you are getting the error message "set the new toner cartridge" and you have already changed it with a HP toner. I would like to help.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Open and close the lid 5 times quickly. It should print out a page with lines on it.
Did it print the self test?
If the self test page printed, clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler and try printing again.

Printing problem using HP Laser 3015 with OS 10.4.11 on MacBook

Pauses when printing a set of PDF files on my HP Laser 3015. It takes forever to print a set of documents. This is not working for my business where sometimes I have anywhere from 60 to over 100 pages to print out 2 sets! Last week I printed out the first set that took a long time and copied the second set. Printer worked fine with the old reader. I would like to have that back!! But can't find it in my application folder. Can someone tell me how to get an old reader if there is not a solution to this printing problem.
I reviewed all the settings on the print box and can't find the problem. I've read what to do in Adobe's help but it didn't tell me anything I already was doing. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? I sure would appreciate it.
Diana

I have had printing problem too many days ago.
As far as I am concerned you may try the following: -
- Verify your acrobat reader is up to date.
- Verify your printer drivers if missing any.
- Verify there shouldnt be any paper jam in the printer.
- Verify your printer is connected properly.
Verify that you have ink colors
- In the printer.

Printing problems on Server 2008R2 - Server 2012R2

Hi,
We have troubles with Firefox and printing pages.
First i want to say i have already tried all this steps:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
Let me explain my problem:
In a TerminalServer Session i want to print a website from firefox.
Sending the print job in Firefox works without error reports, but then the printer "Data" lamp is blinking and the printer Says proccessing.
First i thought the printer has been broken but then i tried this on 6 other printers in our company.
Printers: HP, Sharp, Brother, Develop.
Every Printer has the same problem. No one could print anything anymore. I had to turn off the printers to get them working again.
Resetting the about:config -> print_printers was not working, after this the printer was printing one Job then the problem was there again.
I also have deleted the profile in AppData, but this has not resolved the problem.
So can you please tell me what the problem is?

Hi,
The Dump File has abaout 290mb, what should i do with that file?
The Machines are running on 2 different Hyper-V 2012R2 Hosts,(1 HP Server and 1 Supermicro Server, Intel Xeon 2620V2) the latest Integration Services Drivers on the guest machines are up to date.
This is the printing Problem:
Firefox sends the Webpage to the Printer. After a short time the printing Job is cleared from the list of actual Jobs.
The Printer Says now he got a Job an says "Processing...", well.. this happens by every printer in our Company.
Only turning off the Printer and on again makes the Printer working again to print anything from other programs.
At the moment where someone sends a print Job from Firefox (Problem exists only on TerminalServers 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2.) to any Printer, the Printer must be restarted to work again.
Printing from Server 2003R2 works.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

C6150 Photosmart Print problem with photo files only

Operating system : Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32
Connected to your PC : Wireless Network
Problem description : Attempting to print photos with Adobe Photoshop or MS Office Picture Manager fails. The job appears in the print queue, the size gets to 48 bytes but no further. Attempting to delete the job from the print queue also fails. The Status changes from Printing to Deleting but it fails to delete until the PC is restarted.
I have experienced this problem occasionally over the past several months but lately it appears to be permanent. I believe the problem is with the Windows Vista software because all other files (e.g. MS Word, Adobe PDF, MS IE, emails, etc.) all print normally without any problem. Also, the fact that the job in the print queue acknowledges the Delete command but fails to execute it arouses suspicion.
So, although this is probably not an HP problem, maybe someone reading this might have some knowledge of how I can resolve it and be able to print my photos once more. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I would describe my skill level as Intermediate

Dear 8lives
Thank you for your suggestions. I ran the "sfc/scannow" ploy. When it finished it said the Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS Log. It gave a path to the CBS log, but when I tried to follow it it came back "Access is denied". Ain't Window wonderful! It has been around all these years, made all that money, but still becomes corrupt no matter how much you spend on anti-virus software and maintenance routines, and then it denies access to what is corrupted, and cannot be uncorrupted without spending money to get the problem fixed. If computers were not so darned essential I wouldn't have one. Next one won't be a Windows PC!
No, I haven't tried re-installing anything because I believe the only thing that might solve my problem is to reinstall Windows. As an Intermediate, that is too scary. I will carry on as best I can, finding fewer and fewer of the resources I paid for usable, until I give up and bite the bullet and see if life is any better if I purchase an iMac. Fingers crossed!

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.
