HP Deskjet 1010 on Windows XP - won't print

I had an HP Inkjet 1000 that worked fine for years, and then decided not to grab the paper. Since I had just purchased 6 new cartridges, I wanted to replace that printer with one that would also use the type 61 cartridges, and purchased a DeskJet 1010 printer. The printer does not print. There are no error messages. If I am watching the printer spool when I OK the print, I see the document spooling, getting sent to the printer, and then deleted from the spool. I cannot get the test page to print. All of the diagonstics seem OK (green checks everywhere).
I have installed the new drivers (several times). The only way I have been able to get any output from the printer is to ask for an alignment page, which I suspect is being driven directly to the USB without going through the print spooler.
The printer works fine on another of my computers, so suspect the drivers, the spooler, or the port connection, but not the printer itself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi PeterGuthrie,
I am sorry to hear that you cannot get the Deskjet 1010 to print on your Windows XP computer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
I recommend using this document for USB Printer Installation Troubleshooting. After doing the disk clean up, I recommend doing a re-register of the windows installer.
To Re-register Windows Installer
Click Start, click Run , type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER , and then click OK .
NOTE:Even if you do this correctly, it might look like nothing happens, but it does.
Click Start, and then click Run .
In the Run window, type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER , and then click OK .
Then follow the rest of the steps in order. Be sure to restart after installing before trying to print.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Re: Deskjet 3070A - replaced cartridges but won't print now!

Hello,
I have the same problem. Replaced my black cartridge on my deskjet 3070A and now it won't print any black ink at all.
Please can you help?
Thanks,
Tom

@Tskinner1
Hi Tom, is the printer in warranty? (typically it's one year from purchase). Can I ask which country are you based in?

HP Deskjet 600C with USB adapter & Windows 7 won't print

Windows 7 recognizes the printer, and says it is OK. It installed the driver. Test Page failed. Printing a simple text document failed. Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to print - do jobs stay in the queue? If not does the printer go through the motions of printing but fail to put ink on the page? If so then try printing a test page from the printer as shown here. If that fails then the issue is the printer or the print cartridge. In that case I would suggest running the cleaning cycle as shown at the link above.

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7, won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7 64 bit,
won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)
The HP website shows a "density" slider control in the print driver, but the driver that they have for download doesn't have this control. I did set the driver to RET1600 but that made little improvement.
Tips to correct this flaw greatly appreciated!
AHI

2nd Request
I set this printer up with a Windows XP computer, and the printer works fine with the XP driver. The problem is with the WIndows 7 driver - the print density is too low to print maps in a readable fashion.
Can anyone please help with printing greyscale (maps in this case) in the HP Laserjet P1006 with Windows 7 ???

J4580 , windows xp, won't print manually,

You didn't answer my question. Please address my particular problem.... i can print from document but it won't print manually....the scanner seems to be working but the paper loads and then it sounds like it is printing but it doesn't print...i have to cancel and then the paper comes out o.k. ....i downloaded the print and scan doctor but it tells me "the tool was unable to find the hp solution center app. that i will need in order to scan w/ the hp software.

Hi Velcro,
Seeing as this is a forum community, we try to get to posts as soon as we can and I will try to help you out.
You've mentioned a few issues with the printer, so let's see if we can figure out what's wrong with it. Right now it could be either hardware or software, so let's troubleshoot the actual printer first
Please print a test page, and let me know if any black or color blocks come out?
Load unused, plain white, U.S. letter or A4 sized paper in the tray.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Press the Setup button ( ).
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Print Report , and then press OK .
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Self-Test Report , and then press OK . The self-test report prints.

Deskjet D1560 Windows Network Won't Print on Mac

I have a Deskjet D1560 connected to my HP desktop computer. I am able to print just fine from there. I have shared it and am able to send jobs to the printer from the mac, but they say spooling, then printing, yet nothing prints. The printer makes noises like it is getting ready to print, then never does. I have already tried resetting the print spooler, turning the printer on an off again, and deleting and readding the printer on the mac, to no avail. In the hp printer utility on the mac, the printer is there, but red, and I can't access it.
I have:
Deskjet D1560
Macbook Pro running OSX Version 10.6.8
WRT54G Linksys router

Laptop with window 7 won't print to network HP printer

purchased a Toshiba Laptop and cannot get it to print to my HP PSC 750 network printer. I have downloaded the drivers and made sure it was compatiable with that printer. It installed the printer with no problem. It shows "ready" but when I send a test print or any other type of document to it it will go to the que and shows "printing error" When I troubleshoot it shows that there are jobs in the que and needs to be cleared....but when I do that and try another test page I get the same scenario. I have also turned off the firewall to my desktop and tried to print. I have a desktop with XP home and 2 other laptops with XP and all three of them will print to that printer. I contacted the Geek Squad and they don't have a fix either. Is it something with the new Window 7? HELP! I have spent about 10 hours trying to get this printer to work and about have given up!

Many Vista driver are compatible with Windows 7, have you tried installing these? Then, have you tried to make windows search for new drivers? It has even compatible ones, they could work. You can force your windows to search for new drivers even pluggin your printer directly to your pc, once the're installed, you can make the connection procedure to the printer in LAN.
Excuse me if my English is not perfect..

Windows 7 won't print pdf to network printer connected to Mac

Hi,
I have a printer connected to my Mac and have shared the printer on my home network. I can print documents from a Windows 7 computer on my network but when I try to print a pdf from adobe reader it will not print, or ever go to the print queue.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

I've tried using an installed Epson R200. I also tried using the Apple Color LaserWriter as per the above instructions.
Any Help?

Will the deskjet 1010 work with windows 10?

I'm going to upgrade to Windows 10, just checking to see if my Deskjet 1010 is going to go there with me. Currently running this on Windows 7. The Deskjet 1010 is perfect for the little bit of printing I do, I don't want to change printers if I don't have to.

Hi, Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. As mentioned here : Most applications and hardware drivers designed for Windows 7 or later should work with Windows 10 Windows 10 is not officially released yet. Unless officially released drivers, no official support is present. At the moment, no official guarantee can be provided. However, I am sure it will work properly. Windows 10 should recognise it automatically.

Deskjet 1010 won't print from pdf or word files

I have a deskjet 1010 printer. I have a toshiba satellite laptop. I have windows 7. i just bought this printer. I can print from the internet no problem, but it will not print anything from a pdf file, microsoft word, or excel. I have reinstalled many times, using the usb, and the disk and the internet. I have installed new drivers, etc. I have tried EVERYTHING. Nothing is working. Please help.

Hello randrinchina,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issue from microsoft word and excel.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes that it generates.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Hp deskjet 1510 series won't print

We mloved recently to la Gomera (Canarian isle) and there I bought a hp deskjet 1510. It won't print when connected to my lap top, also HP with Windows vista, although it is connected, is on, and is the default printer. I tried everything the print and scan doctor suggested (like switch off fire wall, chekc print ooler, remove and reinstall driver and software etc) and everything else I found in support from HP. it still does not print. When connected to our other lap top, also HP but with windows 7, it works fine. The only thing I managed to print is a diagnostic page but it give only numbers and letters like SN = CN39a19mmp05yr 21 PG =81 12 PER = -5yr 22 FB = 0/0 etc. Tjat does nog help me :-(. does anybody know how to solve this?

My Deskjet D1660 won't print part of my Word document

Please help me!
Yesterday I struggled for three hours to print black until I found out the cartridge ink was clogged, I cleaned it and that solved it. I've got a HP Deskjet D1660 and my laptop is Windows 7.
But today I was printing part of a Word document (page 24 onwards) and it just printed a couple of pages. It won't print page 26 onwards! printer says there is nothing in the queue and that the printer is ready. I've tried everything I could think of...... please help me; I think the problem is not the printer as it would printer anything else, including other Word documents. It must be something else, I just don't know what! :'(

Hello Moyo1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
First off, I am glad to hear you have been able to clear the clogged ink jet that was preventing the Photosmart D1660 from printing black. Regarding the current issue, not printing past a set page number, let's try and fix this for you.
Since you have a Windows Operating System, run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. This will look into driver, software and communication problems that could be causing this.
Let me know the results, what passes, fails, etc and I will be looking forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers,
JERENDS
