Hp j4680 all-in-one printer stops before printing is completed

Ever since windows 8.1 downloaded to my computer I've lost my scanner and have problems printing. It stops before printing is completed and now it won't print at all. I've tried going to H.P. to help but it now says that no printer is found. What can I do?

Hi,
First follow this tool by selecting fix printing:

Be sure to clarify how the printer is connected to your PC, what HP software has been installed and what security program have been installed.

Thanks for responding. What I did today was hard wire the printer to computer. then was able to get my original printer icon back and it was set as the default printer. I deleted the other icons, they were ghosted and I didn't what to use them. the one was a online printer going back to HP. Now I have to got my son to fix the remaining problem I have, with my messing around I somehow change the Network Name on the printer. He is a computer eng working on high tech cameras and also is the administrator of my machine. He has me locked out of administrative rights and for good reason, I wrecked a couple computers and when he built this one for me that was the rule. There is a little info that I don't have to finalize the last step in changing the Network Name back. I have run the printer from the printer control panel and it did find the correct Network and Network Name but is seemed like that is far as I could go. So I'm not that far from completing this project.

Email address for HP J4680 All-in-One Officejet printer?

How do I find the email address for my HP J4680 All-in-One Officejet printer?

why cant the email be the mac address? or the serial number?
Seriously I went thru hoops to find out that HP is too stupid to include an easy way for all of their wireless printers on a network to be accessed?
maybe I need to buy a different brand next time.! Toss my Hp laptop, Desktop, Printer! and buy a samsung! Sheesh this is not only depressing its typical of HP!
I paid good money to have a wireless printer! but because HP cant figure out how to reach it out to it on the network with a unique # thats built in I have to go buy one that has a email address?
Seriously!!!!!! ????
Something so simple could be fixed with a software patch/upgrade!
Get on it! or get replaced!

HP Deskjet all-in-one F4440 will not print

My HP Deskjet all-in-one- F4440 will not print. I have put in a new color and a new black cartridge. It clanks loudly when it moves back and forth. Finally it stops and then pulls plain paper through as though printing on it - does this two or three times. then it pulls plain paper halfway through and stops. I have to tug and carefully pull halfway paper back out towards front to remove.

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Are there any error messages or flashing lights? What operating system are you using?

Loud rat-at-tat-tat noise in my J4680 All-in-One

My HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One has suddenly developed an terrible LOUD rat-at-tat-tat sound. It sounds like something plastic ratcheting against something. It's so loud, it sounds like it's about to break.
It happens when I turn the printer on and also, when it gets ready to print and when it realigns. It prints OK - there is no paper jam and a Test Sheet prints OK. The sound seems to be coming from under the area where the cartriges sit when they are ready to print.
The print has has light use and not been abused.
HELP...Any ideas as to what is wrong an how to fix it?

I have the 4500 desktop & it just started making loud noises also the same as yours. Guess it's time for a new printer!

Deskjet F2235 All-In-One has stopped working

Hi,
My all-in-one has stopped working. I purchased it new at Christmas 2008 and have only printed 2 test pages, but now when I turn it on all the lights on the front panel light-up & my PC says the printer is off-line. I cannot even get it to turn off by the on/off switch... I have to pull the mains plug from the back.
- I have un-installed & re-installed the software twice without improvement.
- I have replaced the USB cable without improvement.
My PC is a 2.4GHz Celeron 2 with 512 Mb RAM, XP Home SP3, 80Gb hard drive with 7Gb free.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

seems like a hardware issue. can you please follow THIS document and see which lights are blinking, and do the corresponding troubleshooting and see what happens?

HP officejet j4680 all-in-one paper jam issue

I bought HP officejet j4680 all-in-one two months ago from a dealer. Now it keeps telling me a "paper jam" which doesn't exist. I tried everything from the troubleshooting in HP website. The jam light just keeps blinking. Now I am so frustrated with this product.

@CAGY, take a look at this HP link on how to clear a jam.

Any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)

any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)?

If that's a problem with your cable company, change the company.
If your cable company is not able to provide you with a cable modem which gets you full performance for their service why would you bother with that company or try to make it better than them?
If you subscribe to a 100 Mbit/s service they must be able to provide you with a modem that does 100 Mbit/s and be able to demonstrate you 100 Mbit/s on your cable.
If they are unable to provide you with a modem which does 100 Mbit/s and thus cannot demonstrate that the service they have installed in fact can do 100 Mbit/s but only give you a 50 Mbit/s because that's the best they have, why bother buying yourself a better modem to find out whether or not their service does what it promises or not??
In addition, an integrated device won't get you better performance. On the contrary, consumer devices are generally single CPU (and core) devices. It's usually running some Linux or similar. If a single process gets overloaded it can drag down the performance of the whole device. For instance, let's say there is a bug in the print server software of the router. You print something and it hangs and the print server process on the router runs wild. Now the CPU is fully loaded and the routing performance will go down. If there is a bug in the routing software it will bring down the whole device and you can't even print.
You'll get the best performance if you use dedicated devices because then one device cannot overload another. Get a modem. Get a wireless ethernet router. Get a printer with integrated print server. That's far better.
It's like the all-purpose audio device compared to components...

IDVD ejects dvd disc one minute early, before burning is completed. Why? What can I do to fix this?

iDVD ejects the dvd disc one minute early, before burning is completed. Why? What can I do to fix this? I have checked project via mapping and there are no problems with it. I have previewed the entire project and it runs fine.

Good morning,
There could be a few reasons why the burn doesn't finish. iDVD needs a lot of hard disk space to create the DVD -- 10-15 Gigs is starting to get low and under 5 G is virtually impossible. Reduce the load on your Mac by quitting other applications while you're trying to burn. Also, you may wish to break down your workflow into two steps (I do this routinely):
1) After you're satisfied in iDVD -- use the Save As Disc Image command rather than going directly to burn. This creates a virtual DVD which you can mount and play on your Mac.
2) Second step creates the physical DVD from the disc image. I use Roxio Toast to copy the disc image, but Apple's Disk Utility also works to burn the disc image. Use good quality discs -- Verbatim is often recommended; I've been happy with Sony DVD-R as well.

My HP psc 1210 all-in-one, suddenly stopped printing any text. it will print the graphics.

I believe I have tried everything. The HP psc 1210 series all-in-one refusses to print text. nor will it scan or copy. I have done all the troubeshooting that I can find. Still will not print from PC or copy. I think it will scan to the computer. Icon with gray circle around it, states it is offline, yet from the control panel, printer and faxes, shows it as being online and ready. What else can I do to remedy this problem? Thank you in advance.

There may be 2 separate issues here.
-For the offline portion, check this document out:
Printer is offline
-For just printing graphics, this would make me think that the Black cartridge is empty/low on ink/malfunctioning. Try printing a black and white picture. That would let you know if it is the cartridge or not.
