Hello @FSport14 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having software issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP Toolbox has encountered an error and can not recover

I having a problem every time on boot up my computer. A box keeps coming up that says;
HP Toolbox has encountered an error and can not recover
Windows Version Win32NT - 6.1.7601.65536
HP ToolboxFX version : 006.015.01163
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, but I get the same problem.
The printer works great, but I just get this annoying prompt every time.
When I first installed the software a year ago when I first purchased my printer, I don't remember having ever having this error at that time.

D Carey, sounds like you are having an issue with the Printer Toolbox software. However, I am going to need to know more information on what you are working with. What is the operating system you are working on and what is the particular model of printer that is experiencing the issue? Here is a post by one of the forum regulars on what information is good to contain in a post so that we have enough information to give you the answer you need as immediately as possible :

Internal error cannot print

When I try to print from my computer I get 'internal error cannot print'. My printer HP Photosmart 5510

Shelia,
Thank you for your reply. Here are some further details on the question that you asked:
1. At that beginning, because the PDF file has 226 pages as total and consists of 19 fm files, which I mean the big volume, I thought this problem occurs. (FYI, the small/medium volume means the PDF file has 112 pages as total and consists of 16 fm files / only around 20 pages as total and consists of only 1 fm file.)
However, now, I know the problem occurs in the specific two very small fm files. These two fm files are only 3 pages / 15 pages as total and consists of only one fm file. – So, I do not think the volume relates to this problem.
2. I always use “save it to PDF” to create PDF files so far. I am using the PDF distiller that came with FrameMaker8.
3. All files including graphics are in my local drive (C drive).
So I'm wondering if the problem is possible due to the two specific fm files. If so, what are your recommendations to get around this?
Thanks
Steve

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow My Multifunction Printer series

I have a new HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction, the delivery paper after the fuser, it is no making the right job and I got a jamming code, I replaced the fuser but still making the same issue.

Hey @Germanimagenet ,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Can't scan from Lexmark multifunction printer - firewall issue?

Hi there!
I got a Lexmark printer/scanner combo which used to work fine on my arch install. However, its mobo died, so now I'm back at another install which refuses to scan. Scanning is done through the browser via a java applet residing on the printer's webserver. The applet does start (so it's not a java issue), but refuses to receive data from the scanner. Within the printer's web interface, it reads
If using Windows XP, the Windows XP personal firewall must be disabled before using Scan to PC profiles.
, so I'm assuming it might be a firewall issue. Lexmark's website provides the following advice:
The following two command lines will open the port 5353 for incoming and outgoing connections:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 5353 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
NOTE: These steps will work on most distributions configured with IPTABLES. There is no common command to make these rules persistent.
As I don't know anything about IP tables, I've simply copied these commands (as root, obviously). Still, I can't scan.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anybody else ever come across an issue like this?
2. I don't even know for sure, whether this is a firewall issue - What iptabled magic would I need to temporarily disable the firewall to check?
3. I tried checking my rules by "iptables -L". How can I tell "iptables -L" to specify the ports it is working on (as I did in the commands copied from lexmark's website)?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Hi Bob
I believe so. We put the install disc into this mac back when we bought it to set up the printer. I'm assuming the scanning drivers were there as well since it's a multifunctional printer/scanner/fax wireless printer.
We've tried it both ways. If I press the button scan on the printer, it reads can't find computer (or something like that). When we go thru the HP icon on my computer screen and choose scan to computer, it does nothing.
We don't scan that often. So the few times when we ran into this problem, we just did something else (like take a pic from our iPhone and email the pic...kinda stupid but did the trick.
But I want to have the function of the scanner available. So that's why I'm here asking...thought others had this issue and had a solution.

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer unable to connect to webapps, webforms

Hello,
I'm able to print to my printer - HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer - over my local network and the printer is connected to the router via wireless connection. No connectivity issues as far as the local network goes..
The problem I'm having is that for the past week (perhaps longer but I only noticed it a week ago) I'm unable to download the web forms or web apps from the printer's screen menu. I keep getting the message: Unable to connect to the network, please check your network connection etc etc etc.
I successfully printed to my hpeprint email address, so at least the printer is connected to the eprint network, but still can't access/download any of the web forms or web apps.
Has anyone experiencd this? I'm really stuck, can't figure out what the issue could be seeing as how the printer seems to be working over the local network and am able to print documents that I send to me hp e-print email address. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance... Robert

You're lucky to have SOME ePrint functionality left! I got a new m177fw from HP and the printer simply won't enable ePrint. I get a constant connecting screen or connection error screen. There aren't any problems with my network and I spoke with a HP customer service representative over the phone and it seems they are clueless that ePrint is currently broken on HP's end.

HP LaserJet M1319f Multifunction Printer

HP laserjet M1319f multifunction printer---------Where do I find the right drivers for this printer, for some reason my computer keeps kicking it out and i have to keep re installing it. it is not recognized when i plug it in.
windows 8-64 bit?

Hi @LR2014 ,
I see that you are having issues with the drivers and you would like the proper ones installed. I would like to help.
The only drivers available from HP are the Hostbased Plug and Play Drivers. Did you download and install those drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers? HP LaserJet Hostbased Print/Scan Plug and Play Drivers.
If you are using the downloaded drivers, check the Devices and Printers window to see if the printer name is listed correctly and not showing the Windows Classic Driver.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
