HP 5440 deskjet wont print..documents stay stuck in queue.

I have a 5440 printer that previously worked. Now any documents I print get stuck in the queue and I get a message that says documents failed to print. I even connected the printer to another computer and had the same problem. I checked all the connections and even downloaded a support device from HP but still no resolution of the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a different USB cable?

I have been using my printer for APPS and now it wont print documents and ordinary printing

Could you tell me why my photosmart all in one printer will not print normal documents and files from my pc or other device I have just been usong the apps on it to try out but now will not print out anything else like normal things from my computer or ipod or iphone.

Hi, sandie18.
Does your iPhone say "No AirPrint Printers Found?" If you check the printer's status on your computer, is it offline?

HELP ! Print jobs getting stuck in Queue

Hello:
I am using a HP Deskjet 5550 with two Mac's - an iMac G3 Classic and an iMac G5
Tiger. I have the printer connected to both Mac's. I am using the USB connection for the G3 and the Serial - USB connection for the G5.
I have no problem printing from the G3, but the 5 is getting me frustrated!
The printer prints a few pages and then the rest of the printing gets stuck &
stopped in the Queue. I am using the 2.7.1 driver from the Tiger install DVD,
but I have also tried the drivers from the HP download page.
I have also tried doing a Reset of the printer system. This problem does seem
to be intermitten but it is far worse most of the time then better.
I have looked at the HP Support site, but there is nothing I have found for
this problem. I have also tried using the Printer Sharing on the G5 (Tiger).
Any input/suggestions/ideads most greatley appreciated.

Did it ever work? How did you install the printer? Did you follow these directions on page 12? How did it go?

Windows Vista and HP Laserjet 6P--installed software but can't print. Item stuck in queue

I have found plenty of answers to my problem relating to Windows 7 but not for Vista.
I picked up a used HP Laserjet 6P which is supposed to be in working order.
I attached the printer with a parallel port-USB adapter and installed the software using the HP Wizard. All looked good but when I go to print, the page stays in queue and the printer windows say Error.
I tried using the HP diagnostic tool but it can't detect the Laserjet 6P.
I tried setting up via a different USB port (USB001 Virtual Port) and creating a new one (Standard TCP/IP Port) but neither worked.
Any idea how I can make this work or is is just too outdated?
Thank you

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.

Problem with Acrobat print job being stuck in queue

I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro and I do a lot of print to Acrobat PDF 7.0 from web pages. When I go to print from Safari and pick the printer Acrobat PDF 7.0,
the pages will process and bring the PDF up in Acrobat.
However, if I then want to print another page, I have a problem. Many times, the previous print job has a status of printing in the queue even though it is complete.
If I delete the job, the next job will complete.
Something is not completing or deleting completed jobs in my queue.
Any help would be great.

Thank you for the response. This has always worked for me in the past. I can print a web page to acrobat, then even print another one and the next file (pdf) is created no problem. In the past, the print job has gone away as soon as the file was created.
I will try the permissions fix and see what happens.
Shane
Hi there,
With the page that has opened in Acrobat, do you save
this document before you try to print the next
document. I am thinking that maybe the spooler is
expecting you to do something with the file that has
printed before it releases it from the queue.
I would also try running a Repair Disk Permissions.
This is located in Applications > Utilities > Disk
Utility. This can resolve permissions on files that
may be stopping the spooler from finishing.
Regards,
Paul

Document wont print on wireless or wired

I have a HP Photosmart6520 e-All-in-One. I have had it for about 6 months with no problems until today I am trying to print a document and it wont print. I tried it both ways from my Dell laptop, wireless and wired this document will not print. So I used HP Print doctor and was able to print a test page twice. I am assumming it is the document but for the life of me I can't figure out why.I even turned off my firewall and tried to print again with no luck and there is nothing showing up in the Print Que. Thanks for your help in advance

Hi heather13,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are unable to print to your Photosmart 6520 from your Dell laptop.
I’ve included the Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue document. There are different sections for the different operating systems. Please click on your operating system and follow the steps.

Printer wont print word documents

I have had my printer/scanner for nearly a year now, it seems to print anything except a word document. I have both word 13 and notebook on my system. It wont print from either program, I am wondering whether this printer comes with these programs in the softwear? If yes any ideas how to sort the problem?

Hello sasaone2one,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from Word.
Have you by chance checked to see if any updates are available for Word? Not having all the updates can cause the printer not to function on Word documents.
I also suggest that you try the following link for the HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware Update.
Feel free to write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers,

My 5440 deskjet continually feeds in sheets of paper, one at a time and won't print

I have had a 5440 deskjet print which has worked well for years.This week it suddenly stopped working. When I go to print, it sucks a piece of paper in more than halfway and then says "paper jam or misfeed". If I hit the arrow key, the paper comes out with no issue, and then it sucks the next sheet in to the same point and errors again. The interesting thing is that it doesn't even try to print things at the top of the page (or anywhere).

My HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series wont print, says its printing on the screen, but does nothing.

it has nothing to do with the connection, because even if i try to print a test page from the printer itself (not using my laptop) it still wont print. it says "printing" on the screen, but does nothing. and the green light on the power button blinks the whole time... please please help, its super frustrating, ive un-installed, re-installed, plugged it in, un plugged it, plugged the usb cord in before i realized it wasnt a connection problem, taken the ink out.. i dont know what else to do... again, its not a connection problem.. i tried to go into the settings on the printer itself and clicked printer status or something liek that and it attempted to print out a report, but nothing prints... again, the screen says "printing . . . " but nothing happens and it will continue to say "printing . . . " w/ the moving dots for hours... what could this be?? ive searched online and cant find anything that sounds liek this.. seems like everyone has connection probelms... but i need help!

This sounds like it may be a firmware problem. The first thing to do is check to see if there are any available firmware update. I'll include a link to those instructions below. Next, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the printer into a surge protector, power strip, or power backup can cause it to become under powered resulting in strange problems like this one. If the firmware is up to date and plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet doesn't help, follow the steps in the document below. If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the printer. Hope this helps.

My psc 1315xi wont print all of a document. everything i try to print is missing parts of the doc

my psc 1315xi wont print all of a document. Everything I try to print is missing sections of the document. It will print a lot of the document with missing words or letters. Office Depot had no trouble printing the documents. The color seems to be off as well. It prints gray and not black. It will not copy or print a test page. When I try to run a diagnosis it says that it is not in my hp software(?).

Deskjet 1512 Wont print

I just purcheased a Deskjet 1512 and set it up, and it's not printing(from my laptop)(MacBookAir). It will print the "Test Page" perfectly, but not anything from my laptop. I've went online, did everything i have found, downloaded the "newest drivers" and everything, and it still wont print. Please help, thank you.

Hey @JacobGuidry,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the issue that you're experiencing when trying print from your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to your HP Deskjet 1512 All-in-One Printer. Even though you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for your Deskjet it does sound like there is a driver or software conflict occuring between your Deskjet and your Mac. Can I please have you follow the steps below to correct this issue.
Step 1: Reset the Print System:
To start, I am going to have you Reset the Print System on your Mac as it is important that we have a nice clean slate to work with for troubleshooting. Please click here for instructions on how to perform the Reset. When the website opens follow the steps under 'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion.' This Reset will remove every printer from your Mac. However, it does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, should you use other printers on this Mac, once the Reset is complete simply ensure that the printers are connected via a USB Cable or Network connected and (+) Add them back in. Do not add your HP Deskjet back in at this time.
Once the reset is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
Next, please click here for steps on how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' and follow the appropriate steps to complete the uninstall process.
Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.
Step 3: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 4: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 5: Install Device:
Please click here to download the drivers for your printer
Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen prompts to reinstall your printer
Once your HP Deskjet is successfully installed please test printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!
