Hp envy 4500 will not print from windows 8. Thinks it prints, but it doesn't.

Am trying to print from my Toshiba laptop running Windows 8 to my HP Envy 4500 wirelessly. Works fine from my ipad, works fine from my desktop and laptop running Windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer driver 5 times. Printer is recognized, has an IP addrress, and will print an internal test page. When I print to it from my Windows 8 machine, the file goes in the queue, gets a port, and then disappears as if it was printed. Nothing prints. Please help, this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

CS6 Cloud InDesign problem: Will not open from Windows

I have a CS6 Cloud subscription. I cannot open InDesign files from Windows, which thinks they are pdfs, and I cannot reset this preference. Do I need to uninstall InDesign, use the CS Cleaner tool, and reinstall? If so can I do all that just for the InDesign product rather than the whole creative suite?

Ken
Thank you. I do appreciate your response, but, unfortunately, that approach, which should work, as you say, does not.
The .indd is described on my compuer as an Adobe Acrobat Document and the current default is Adobe Acrobat, so whenever I click on any .indd document in Windows Explorer, Acrobat is instructed to open it which, of course, it cannot.
Changing the file association should work in the way you describe, but instead here is what happens:
When I get to your step 5 (shown above) and I click on 'change program' I get a list of programs to choose from. The recommended program is shown as Adobe Acrobat and the list of other programs does not list Adobe InDesign. So, I browse to the Adobe InDesign CS6 file in my programs area on my C Drive, find the InDesign.exe file and click. And... nothing happens except that I am taken back to the screen where I am supposed to choose which new file I want associated with .indd.
So, now I cannot open InDesign files unless I first open the InDesign program and then open the file from within the program.
Do you think this indicates a corruption in the InDesign files? Is there an easy way to fix it?

HT201412 My iPad will not boot up, has a think logo running but will not start. Any ideas?

My Ipad will not boot up, has a think logo running all the time...any ideas. Also had trouble upgrading to ios.6 the computer is not the original one I synved my ipas too. It started OK then failed. Now it will not connect at all to computer...comes up with an error.!!!

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds time. Restore iPhone Firmware.

HP Envy 4500 Will not print legal sized

I have an HP Envy 4500 and Windows 8, and I am trying to print a legal sized document from Microsoft Publisher.
The document will only print half of the page.
When I first purchased the printer, I asked if it was compatible with Windows 8 AND if it would print legal sized, and was told yes. When I began using the printer, it was printing legal sized just fine, not it's only printing half the page.
I have looked under all the settings, everything is set to print legal, the only thing that is not set to legal is under the Network Properties, under the "General" tab, where it says available paper - letter. I cannot get that to change to legal, and am not sure if this is the reason why it's not printing.
I have scanned and cleaned my computer up, there are no viruses, malware, no pop ups, etc.
I have checked to see if there is an update for my printer driver, and there is none.
I need to be able to print legal.
Thanks in advance.

Hi momfor2,
I understand that your printer is no longer printing legal size pages. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
I recommend Resetting the Printer to clear any errors and try printing again. I also recommend Aligning the Cartridges Solution eight: in this document for Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
I hope this information helps, please let me know.
Thank you,

HP Envy 4500 will not print after trying everything

Hello, I have had this printer for about a year now. It has been working fine but all of a sudden it won't print from any computer any more. I know my computers are connected to the same wifi as the printer but it cannot ever locate the printer. I have rebooted the wifi, the computer and the printer, turned the wifi on the printer off and on, followed several HP forums detailing 12 ways to fix it and nothing works. I recently downloaded an updated software for the printer, and while installing it, I have to select a device. It doesn't show up and when specifically finding it manually, it says the device is not reachable. I am at my wit's end!! Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty frustrated with this printer. Thanks for your help,Rachel.

Hi @bepebe ,
I see that you are having issues with the HP Printer Assistant not opening, after installing the printer software. I would like to help you out today.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering with the HP Printer Assistant loading.
Try opening it again.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if the issue persists. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
Did you have any errors during the install itself?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Try to print from windows to a special printer needs to read text

dear sir or madam,
I am trying to print a pdf file with greek text in it to a printer that needs to read the text and process it at some other task.
I can print from any Windows program to that special printer and if I have a document with images and text, the images are striped down and the text is shown to the output file.
When I try to print a pdf file all the text is shown as images. I can copy and paste the text with no problem why it is not printed as text???
I try to do this with the command line. Is there are other switches I could try?

1: I am sorry about the inconvinience.
The reason you find a check mark on a printer icon is to indicate that its a default printer. If the fax icon has a check mark, everytime you print a fax template will come up.
SOlution: Just right click on the other icon and select it as the default printer.
2: Black lines while printing photos.
CLick on the link below and check if the solution helps you.

Help Printing from Windows 7 to shared printer on Tiger/Mac Mini

UGH! My folks have long been running on a Power PC Mac Mini with Tiger. The Mac has an Epson Stylus CX4200 - works great in this configuration. Unfortunately, we have a need to implement a laptop with Windows 7 running. I'd like to print to the Mac's locally-attached printer from the wirelessly-connected laptop.
Anyone know how to configure windows 7 to print to the shared printer attached to the Mac? Any help, greatly appreciated.
- Brad

Hello Brad,
If you download and install Bonjour for Windows onto the Windows 7 laptop, this will assist you with finding the printer being shared by the Mac.
Note that the web page does not mention Win7 support, but since Vista is supported there should not be an issue.
I also cannot ever remember using it when I had Tiger on a Mac, so not 100% of it functioning correctly (certainly works when printer is shared by 10.5 and 10.6).
In case it doesn't work, you could manually add the printer queue on Win7. The connection used by Bonjour for Windows is IPP and you will need to know the IP address or name of the Mac sharing the printer. You will also need to know the name set for the Epson, which can be found via the Print & Fax pane.
The network queue name on the Win 7 laptop needs to be;
http://maccomputer_name.local:631/printers/PrinterName
or
http://IPaddress_of_mac:631/printers/PrinterName
Then for the Printer Manufacturer and Model you can select the HP Color Laserjet 4550 PS. Don't worry about selecting a PostScript (ie PS) driver. Even though your printer probably does not support PostScript, the Mac will convert the incoming PS spool file into the appropriate format used by the Epson.

Can't Print from Windows Vista Notebook to Printer installed in Mac Mini

I have a home network that is connected to the internet by DSL. My Printer Xerox Phaser 3115 is installed to the Mac Mini.
From my Vista Notebook, I can see the printer shared by my Macmini. However, I can't print coz the printer says "access denied". I installed this Bonjour for Windows in order to print but it says "No Bonjour Printers are available".
Please help me! Thanks!

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

7.3.1 firmware interferes with printing from Windows XP to USB printer

I have a home network consisting of an Airport Extreme, a Windows XP desktop, and a Macbook Pro laptop. After upgrading the firmware of the Airport Extreme to 7.3.1, I can no longer print to my Airport Extreme USB connected printer from my Windows XP desktop. I can print fine from my Macbook Pro, but when I try to print from the Windows machine, the internet becomes unavailable to the Windows machine until the print job is canceled, and the print job never completes. The problem does not occur from my Macbook Pro, and rolling back to 7.2.1 cures the problem.
Ideas? Anyone else find similar problems with 7.3.1?
Dallas

You might like to try with changing the port number. After I upgraded to 7.3.1, printing from both our XP and Ubuntu desktops stopped working. I discovered that the port number had to be set to 9102 instead of 9101 that we used earlier.

Mid 2007 Macbook Pro will not boot from windows 7 DVD

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on to my mid 2007 MBP. The DVD is valid, boots on a PC and I was able to load WIndows 7 into a VMWare fusion virtual machine on the very same system. I am convinced from those actions I have a good DVD and a good DVD drive.
What happens is the screen goes black and "1. 2. and Choose type of DVD boot:" appear. ( I may have the phrase slightly wrong) No matter what I type nothing happens. I've gone into the boot selecter and same thing happens if I select the DVD.

so you did not burn the DVD from ISO? that is what this usually is.
the error and yours being 2007 says you are trying 64-bit and your Mac does not support 64-bit versions it has 32-bit ROM (and likely cannot upgrade past Lion when 10.8 Mountain Lion comes out).
Windows 64 Bit Unsupported Macs
What you are seeing is an EFI boot menu "select CD 1 or 2" yes.
Select CD-ROM Boot Error Apple
CD-ROM Boot Type when installing
Install Windows 7 x64 Mac Select CD-ROM Boot Type

I keep getting problem loading page. I try different sites and Firefox will not load. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it doesn't help.

I also can use internet explorer just fine so I know it's not a problem with my internet provider.
Unable to connect is the message I get. Then...
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I've used Firefox for years and love it. I really don't like internet explorer. Please help.

Deggie, I was referring to my iPad & was quite frustrated & tired when I wrote my question. New day, new insight & problem is now solved. Thanks for your willingness to help!
