HP Deskjet 2545 continues to feed paper when nothing in print queue. How do you clear it?

Printer not printing. Installed software from HP. Seems like there is no communication between printer and computer.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Epson Stylus Photo R2880 feeds paper straight through without printing

So I recently got an Epson R2880 at work, and it at first it was awesome. After a few days, it started feeding paper straight through without printing (it doesn't even pretend to print) and telling me that the "Media [is] out or not loaded correctly". I went back and forth with Epson on it for a bit, and they ended up sending me a new printer.
The new printer seemed to work fine for a day or so, and then it started doing the same thing. If I turn it off and remove it from my printers list and then turn it back on and try again, sometimes it will make a print before starting to feed straight through again.
Here in the office, most of my printing consists of PDFs that I do through Acrobat XI. Some of them are borderless, some of them aren't. I have also tried printing from Preview and straight from InDesign CC and received the same results. I have tried multiple USB cables and my permissions are all in order.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2013 Mac Pro.
Since it seems fairly unlikely that I received two consecutive printers that have the same problem, I'm thinking that the problem is with something on my end. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that my luck really is bad enough to have two printers feed paper instead of print on it. I'm also willing to entertain the possibility that I'm an idiot and am repeatedly doing something idiotically. Regardless, I'm hoping that someone out there has some experience with this and can point me in the right direction, because holy cow this is annoying and Epson hasn't been super helpful.
Thank you for reading this.

I've never seen that one!
While waiting in the hope that "someone" will know the cause, I suggest you try the two generic fixes I try for all print problems:
First, Reset the Printing System:

If that doesn't help, restart from the Recovery partition, and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and repair permissions:

An app continues to say "installing" when nothing is happening. It has been several hours now. It's only a book so should not take this long. I have tried deleting it and that did not work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it from side to side while holding it level (in the position it is in while in the printer). Re-insert the cartridge, restart (power cycle) the printer. Then restart the Mac and test.

Why does printe print test page ok then shoots blank paper when trying to print from MS Office word?

Why does my printer (HP Deskjet 2050 j510) print a test page ok but when I go to print a paper I typed in MS Office Wrd it shoots out blank paper? What an I do?

Hello,
How are you connected to the printer, USB or wireless?

I can't download Akamai NetSession because when the window opens to "How do you want to install tis software?" the continue button is greyed out.

Please help me with this problem. I just purchased an upgrade for CS6 and I can't even download the software that allows me to download the actually Adobe products.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display. I purchase in 2011 CS5 design standard. Yesterday, I purchased CS6 design standard and Adobe sent me an email with a link to the download. I clicked on the link and it goes to my account but when I click on the download program it allows me to go as far as "Select a Destination." But under "How do you want to install this software? It show one choice but I can click on it to make the "continue" button show up.

Feeds paper, sometimes repeatedly, in print mode and doesn't print. Copies fine.

My HP 7410, running XP Pro with constant updates, doesn't print but copies fine. It feeds paper, sometimes many sheets, but just pauses briefly with paper in position to print and doesn't print. I thought the problem might depend on the weight of the paper, but it doesn't matter. If the paper is too lightweight, jams a lot because it picks up several sheets at time.

Two things:
Make sure both front and back rollers are clean.
Check the panel that holds the back rollers - make sure it is inserted well. You may remove it, clean it (blow dust) then re-insert.

How do you not share contacts when having an iPad and iPhone when you share an apple ID

Presumably you mean you are sharing the same iCloud account? Except for turning off contacts on one of the devices, you can't stop sharing contacts. iCloud accounts are not designed to be shared among different people with different personal data.
You should each gave your own personal iCloud account, setup under your own individual AppleID.
You can still use the shared AppleID for the iTunes and AppStore purchases you already have though.

In Iphoto, using a MacBook when looking at a slideshow, how do you turn the music down or temporarily off?

When viewing photos in IPhoto, using a slideshow, how do you turn down the music or just turn it off? Thank you.

This answer applies to iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)
The mute button on the keyboard and the volume control buttons are still active during a slideshow.
Or you can uncheck the 'play music' option in the Slideshow settings and the slides will play with no sound.
If you have a linked Apple Remote and are using it to play the slideshow, the plus and minus buttons also control volume.

Portrait on 14" width by 11" length continuous feed paper for Dot Matrix printer.

Hello,
I am trying to set the properties of a Report Builder 3.0 form for Portrait orientation with 14" width by 11" length continuous form. The report will print on a high speed dot matrix printer. My problem is when I change the report property
to 14" width by 11" length, Report Builder 3.0 automatically changes the Orientation to Landscape! I want it Portrait on 14"x11" paper!
Thanks in advance.

Hi CRC111,
According to your description, when printing reports in dot matrix printer, it can't keep the Portrait in report property. Right?
In Reporting Services, it supports printing in a dot matrix printer. However, the dot matrix print is quite different from regular printers. It has reported it can't accept the page layout(landscape and Portrait). In this scenario, we suggest you export
the report into PDF/TIFF, then print it in dot matrix printer. Please refer to the links below:
SSRS Printing to Dot matrix printer
Reporting by using Dot Matrix Printer
report properties for dotmatrix report in SSRS
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Photosmart B8353 not feeding paper at end of print

Hi there I have a 'new to me' Photosmart B8353 which seems to be having feed problems at the same point in every print, am printing some 4 x 6 photos and it seems to get stuff on the final cm and over prints itself and gets stuck in the rollers.
I have the paper the right side, loaded correctly, right back corner, the positioners in place, the rest of the print is fine just this last cm, I dont understand why it gets stuck at the same point?
Assistance much appreciated

Have you already tried the solutions in this document? There's one step that's specific to Windows (adjust the paper settings), but the rest is related to the hardware.

Hp officejet pro8500 a910 shoots out blank paper when trying to print from windows 10 installed firefox. Printer works fine from chrome and ie.

I am beta testing windows 10. I use both a hp laptop (dv77128nr) and a desktop (home made). I use a hp officejet pro8500 a910 printer.
When using firefox I get only blank pages while trying to print from within the browser. Only using firefox. Chrome works fine. IE works fine. If I boot to windows 7, firefox works fine. Can you help or should I report this to Microsoft?
Thanks for your help.
ps. Tried resetting firefox. Haven't tried a new install.

Firefox isn't officially supported on Windows 10. For that matter, Windows 10 isn't officially supported either. This is most likely a problem between Firefox, Windows 10, and your printer's driver. Try updating your printer's driver and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to post this on Microsoft's forums as well.

HT1150 My question on printing is how do you make the print larger than it actually is on paper or is that possible? I know you can enlarge print on the screen, that is easy, but once it prints it's always to small. How can I make it bigger or is that p

my question is on printing. i know that you can make the print larger on the screen by adjusting it, but then when it comes out on paper it's just as small again. how do I set my actual printer or my iMac to print the actual paper print larger?

Hello, it depends what App & Document type, some say PDFs have the font stuck at a certain sise, but say in Text Edit, open a document, Highlight some text the CMD+a to Select All, then type CMD+t to get the Font/Text size menu, select a bigger size.

When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
Thanks!

You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page.<br />
For other websites you need an extension.
