Hp 8600 quits in the middle of a print job

I have an HP 8600 that when I send a large print job stops printing in the middle when I print from mail merge. I get no error message on the computer, it just stops printing. When I check the print job status it gives me an "error - sent to printer" message, but there is no error message on the printer. I restart the print job from where it left off and it will print a few more and give me the same error message. So I restart again from where it left off and it will print for a little bit more and stop with another error message. Each time I restart the printer prints less and less of the job. Say I have 100 entries to print, I'll get 50 the first time, then 25, then 15, then 5 then...well you get the idea. Its more than a little frustrating.
I forgot to mention I am working on a 32bit Windows 7 premium system loaded on a Toshiba Satellite
I also forgot to mention that when it stops, the last page it prints is blank.

Hi hp_issed & TXGabe,
I understand that both of your HP Officejet Pro 8600 printers are not able to print correctly and quit in the middle of jobs.
What is the firmware version of the printer? click here to find out how to retrieve it.
Which Windows operating system are you running?
Is the printer connected via USB, ethernet or wireless?
Is the power to the printer connected directly into a wall outlet or a surge protector?
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

HP DeskJet D1660 hangs in the middle of a print job?

My HP DeskJet D1660 occasionally hangs in the middle of a print job. No error message appears but the light in the power button is blinking. I have tried opening the printer queue and deleting the job. The queue switches from status "printing" to status "deleting" and hangs with the queue never deleting the print job.
Solutions tried: turning off printer, unplugging printer, unplugging and replugging the USB cable. None of these clears the queue or restarts the printer. Restarting the machine also did not unclog the queue initially, however, after a lot of cable unpluging I got it cleared and was able to use the printer again.
Today It stopped in the middle of a print job again this time with an Excel spreadsheet (the first was printing a web page). After trying some of the same fixes again but before powering down the computer I somehow got the HP Guided Solution up (I"m not sure what I did to trigger it). Using this help system I managed to get the queue unclogged and the printer up and running following about ten different steps.
Why is this problem starting to reoccur. Is there a permanent fix or will I have to struggle thru the process of stopping and starting the print spooler every time it happens.

Strange characters and symobls print in the middle of a print job. Help.

In the middle of a print job, whether one page or several, it starts printing strange characters and symbols until the end of the job. It will do this in the middle of the page, or after printing one line of English and the rest of the page in gibberish.
It usually does this while printing off bank statements from the internet or a pdf file pulled from the internet. I don't think it has ever printed any of my documents.
However, it has done this while printing a bill received as an attachment to an email from a friend.
The next print job will usually be back to "normal". But one day, it did this many times during the day. Frustrating!
Appreciate any help.

I had this happen to me with a PDF file once. I called Support at HP,
and they told me it was because I had labeled the PDF as "text" when
it actually has (technically) "pictures" in it -- the printer didn't know how
to print those "pictures" (symbols?) as "text," so it came out as gibberish.
Perhaps there's a teckie here who can tell you more eloquently. [And
what to do about it!]
HTH!

IPad quits in the middle of many apps

My I pad seems to quit in the middle of a variety of apps making the unusable.
The most recent was the John Stewart show and the Colbert report. Also a PDF form filler
quits among others.does anyone else have this problem? I have reset it a number of times as suggested.

Hello and welcome.
Try restarting your iPad when this happens, not the same as resetting. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
If apps continue to quit unexpectedtly, connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure iTunes recognizes the iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Then click: *Check for Update.*
quit in the middle of a variety of apps making the unusable.
If the iPad software is up to date, click Restore then click *Don't Back Up*. The reason being is there might be one or more apps causing the problems.
Once you have restored the iPad, sync several apps at a time from the Apps menu in iTunes then try those apps on the iPad. If it's ok, then try 3 more apps and so on.
And while you have the iPad connected to your computer, look at the bottom of the the iTunes window under any of the tabs and check to make sure there is enough free storage space.

TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

I just found out how to solve the problem today
Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!

How to stop itunes quitting in the middle of playback

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to set my iTunes or Mac up so that iTunes won't quit in the middle of playback? I'm streaming to my TV using Apple TV, and after a while, my screen goes blank and when I go back to my computer to check, I find that iTunes has logged out or quit. I've already set my energy saving preferences to 'never sleep' but this still happens and there is no iTunes preference to prevent it from happening. Any help would be most helpful. Thank you!

Desktop Manager quits in the middle of sync

Desktop Manager just quits in the middle of a sync. I've isolated the offending application to calendar sync with MS Outlook. No warnings, no errors, Desktop Manager just stops running. I tried upgrading to the latest version of Desktop Manager 5.0.1.28, no change. I've tried deleting the Intellisync directory and the problem just reappears after recreating the sync settings.
