HP Laserjet 1018 - Not Printing - Both lights on solid

Hi,
My printer seems to have encountered some sort of fault. It starts up fine and is recognised by XP. However, when printing, it seems to accept the data transfer but stall at the actual printing part.
I've rested it for 30 mins and had a look inside but I can't see anything that sticks out as causing a problem. Attempting to print a test page results in the same; normal operation until the actual print is just about to start and then both lights go solid and the printer is unresponsive.
Any help very much appreciated. I've run the HP diagnostics utility and that doesn't turn up and problems.
Thanks,
John

HP LaserJet 1018 not printing landscape on index cards

I regularly print on 3 x 5 index cards with this printer. In fact, this is the reason I purchased the printer. Just this morning, I am suddenly unable to print landscape on it. Any file set up in landscape will run through the printer and come out blank. However, if I change the set up to print portrait, my prints are perfect. Hm...does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi. Did you ever figure out why you can't print 3x5 index cards in landscape mode on your HP printer? I'm having exactly the same problem. I can print the document on ordinary 8.5x11, but not on index cards. It was working a couple of weeks earlier. I've tried all the obvious solutions but so far nothing works. Thanks.

HP LaserJet 3015 not printing with 10.5.6

I just upgraded from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 and my HP Laserjet does not print. I removed it and added it back but when I try to print it always gives me the following error when the printer queue is trying to connect:
Printer busy (status:0xe00002e9)
Please help.

<Is this because i just upgraded to 10.5.6? </i>
No, probably not. I have no problems printing to my 3015 from 10.5.6.
Is apple going to do something about this?
Doubtful since it's almost certainly not Apple's problem, per se. Make sure you have the latest printer update, HP Printer Update 1.1.1, which should appear in Software Update if you haven't installed it and will probably appear in the "Installed Updates" pane of the Software Update preference. And if course if it's a networked printer you'll want to ping it to make sure that your system is actually reaching the printer.
If you continue to have problems, you'll probably want to take it up with your IT people or with HP. But you can keep an eye on this thread and see if suggestions to the OP would apply in your case as well.

Laserjet 2600n not printing black on one side of page. already cleaned the laser/scanner assembly.

laserjet 2600n not printing black on one side of page. already cleaned the laser/scanner assembly. i've cleaned the assembly a few times beofre to restor the colors as the printer is in a semi-dusti environment. after cleaning the printer was fine, then about a week later, the black - and only the black - stopped printing on the right side of the page. the text is straight across left to right then starts to waver and then then stops altogether. i tried a different black toner cartidge and the problem remains.

> so this is strictly a hardware issue as no drivers are involved. Yup. > Still prints all black. Ok its not the controller. > Still prints all black. Ok its not the fuser. > its still prints all black. OK its not the laser itself > it still prints all black. Not that part either. > What else left is there? Formatter board hasnt been mentioned. Something is sending a command to the printer that is telling it to open up the doors and charge the entire page. Normally the laser is responsible for charging the media. As the media passes over the toner doors it atracts toner particles. Then as the paper continues it rolls past the fuser where heat melts the particles into permanent place. > The power supply board maybe? Perhaps but not likely. If you have a spare you could try it but power supply problems usually result with the machine unable to boot or print correctly, not printing too much as you have described here. > Is there another part you would reccomend I look at?
You could try the old Halfway test just to verify that the problem is coming from teh laser/toner part of the printer. http://www.printertechs.com/printer-troubleshooting/halfway-test Your paper may have somehow gotten a staic charge that opposes the charge of the toner, thus auto attracting all particles in range as it passes over the toner doors. Might want to grab a fresh ream of paper to test and rule somethign crazy like that out. Not very many options left after that.

Laserjet 2300n not printing reinstalled drivers says ready but won't print

laserjet 2300 will not print I have reinstalled drivers and it says ready to print, but when i print test page or word document it does not print? anyone have ideas??

Hi steveflash,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet 2300 Printer series 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 LaserJet 2300 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Hp laserjet P1006 Not Printing everyline of text

My printer is not printing every line of text. It omits 3-4 lines. These are spaced evenly apart on the page. Before this started it seemed like the printer, when printing was coming out especially hot and the printer it self was steaming. The paper would actually curl from being hot. Any suggestions. I have replaced the toner cartridge. Run a diagnostic check. Says printer is working properly. Run the printer cleaning. Still to no avail. Need help.

What brand and model is the router?
It does sound like the issue is isolated to one Mac system since it works from the other.
Reset the Mac printing system exactly as outlined in this document from Apple.
Next, install the full featured driver from HP. This driver package includes support for OS X 10.5.
This should reset the printing system and remove any software that may be causing a conflict.

LaserJet M125a not printing with Windows XP SP3

Hi everyone.
Today I bought new printer. I wanted instal this printer on my old pc with Win xp but during installation appears window with warning " software for this device: "printer" has not passed compatibility testing with windows xp system". Nonetheless installation is going to end. After all I can only copy and scan. When I try print something, it looks as if the print process is working, nothing happens and there isn't list of not printed items. I have installed printer on my laptops with Win 7 and Win 8.1 and everything is fine.
Sorry for my grammatical mistakes. I have to translate this from polish
I hope someone can help me solve this issue. A lost all day to find any solutions ;/
Regards
Karol

Hi @Karol_szc ,
I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer on the Windows XP computer. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
I have provided a document to check your system to make sure if does meet the system requirements.

Check your version of .Netframeworks. How to Check Which Version of Microsoft .NET Framework is Installed in Windows?

What version of Internet Explorer are you using?
IE is integrated into Windows and is part of the Windows updates.
I suspect you need IE 7 at least. I believe this is because HP software piggy backs from Internet Explorer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Happy New Years!

1102w wireless not working - but light is solid blue

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me.
I have been using the HP 1102w via usb since I got it a few month ago. It has been the perfect little printer. It would be much more convenient if it would print wirelessly so I viewed the HP video on youtube and set it up. My blinking blue light turned solid, I saw the bonjour, I deleted the old printer yada yada....
I went to another room to start printing and they are all sitting in my print cue, saying sent. I checked my printer and it is on...I have no idea what could be going wrong, everything appears to be done correctly but the printer just won't print...
HELP!

Also, when I go to the webpage for the printer it says
Device Status 10.000 supply memory error.
A few quick google searches tells me this has something to do with the toner cartridge, however, I just tried printing via the USB and it was perfectly fine.

HP LaserJet 2300dn Not Printing On Both Sides Anymore?

Hi,After upgrading to Windows 8.1 64Bit my laserjet has lost the abilty to print on both sides of the paper automatically. I assume it's something to do with the driver but am not sure.I have tried downloading different drivers from the support page but I don't know which one I'm suppose to be using and whatever I do doesn't seem to work. Anyone who can suggest a solution, I would be most grateful. Thanks In Advance DiGiTiSeD

Ensure that the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that one is): For the printer instance in question, bring up the Printer properties dialogue.Select the Device settings tab.Ensure that the duplex unit is set to Installed rather than Not installed.You'll probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the device settings.

Hp laser jet 1018 not printing. cable/power are connected and have paper. no blinking lights.

HP Laserjet 2100M not printing with 10.6

Hi,
I've been trying to print a document all evening on my HP Laserjet 2100M with the HP 100 Mbps network module. I've tried it on both my iMac and my MBP, no help there. The printer program is saying that it is sending the job to the printer, but the light does not even blink on the printer.
Any idea?

Hi Andrew, I'm back home!
First I did a Telnet to the printer address and confirmed it had the right settings. All looked perfect to me.
===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===
Firmware Rev. : G.08.49
MAC Address : 00:30:c1:0b:a5:b9
Config By : DHCP
IP Address : 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
Syslog Server : Not Specified
Idle Timeout : 90 Seconds
Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified
Host Name : REPLICATOR
Default Get Cmnty : Enabled
DHCP Config : Enabled
Passwd : Disabled
IPX/SPX : Disabled
DLC/LLC : Enabled
Ethertalk : Enabled
Banner page : Disabled
OK, I reseted the printing system. Then I added my HP LaserJet using the HP Jetdirect - Socket mode (as I always did in preview OS X version). I put the IP address of the printer, let the Queue name empty, Named the printer and the Print Using auto selected correctly HP LaserJet 2100 series. Then I clicked Add. The print dialog tried to "Connect" to the printer for Installable Options. This was taking forever to finished. So I clicked on Configure... and selected the options I knew was there myself.
I tried then printing from Stickies (something simple), it told me the printer was busy. I put it off, then on, and retried and it worked... Try a page from Pages too, working...
Maybe reseting the print system helped, because last week I also put the printer off then on, and the problem stayed there. Tried the same on my MBP, and it worked too! Cannot figure out what I did wrong the first time. Maybe I really needed to print something, and Murphy's Law came in!

HP Laserjet 1320 not printing PDF files

I can't print PDF or JPG files from my MacBook Pro to my HP Laserjet 1320, connected on USB. MS Word files are printing fine and so are Test Print commands. This has morphed today from an earlier problem a few days where only the 1st page of PDF documents was printing. The printer blinks the green light for a while and then goes back to normal. The Print Box on the Mac says "Printing - Sending Data to Printer" for a while, and then the file name, etc disappear, and everything is back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. Meanwhile MS Word files go on printing without any problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem.
(I moved from 10.6.8 to 10.10.2)
I did a lot of searching and these two steps have helped. (possibly fixed it for good?)
Run "Disk Utility" —> Verify Disk Permissions (Repair any errors)
The printer settings need to be reset. (see link below) NOTE: You will lose all the printers in your system settings and have to reinstall them.
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18614?locale=en_US
Please note that HP does not have a update for 10.10.2 for this model.
The last driver version from HP is: 19.8
Adobe does not have a plug-in update that I can find, yet...
The more you change the settings as you use each proram (firefox, word, numbers, safari, adobe reader) the worse the problem seems to get. I would suggest that you pick one setting and keep it. (Program based settings seem to be less prone to errors.)
Let me know if this helps.

HP LaserJet P2015 not printing via network

Hi,
looking for help.
I cannot print via the network on HP LaserJet P2015. It works via USB. When I try to add the printer it is identificable by Bonjour (Nearest Printers). It tries to configure the printer and appears as being active (green dot) but when try to print it says Connecting to Printer but then reports an error message of The printer is not responding.
Any ideas on how can fix ? Thanks in advance !

You can connect to Bonjour printers in Mac OS X, just select the Printer in the Print & Fax preference pane as usual and click on Add

HP Laserjet 3050 Not Printing

I have the HP Laserjet 3050 and as soon as I click print, the printer goes into pause mode. I have removed the drivers, removed the printer from the library file, reset all printers and this problem still occurs. Is anyone else having this issue? Also will scanning ever be supported with this printer?
Thanks!

My HP Multipurpose LaserJet 3030 is working NOT similarly. Deleting the print queue, restartin, reseting the printing system, even updating HP drivers thru Software update (to 2.0) doesn't work. The best I can do is have the print queue say the printer is idle and ready. Driver version 5.3.0 is listed as working on Apple's website, interestingly, this version did NOT change after updating HP Drivers 2.0 thru SoftwareUpdate.
Every time I add a print job to the queue, the printer pauses and won't resume, clicking resume repeatidly I occasionally view a g;ajsglsdflksf USB error, but, it disappears too fast to read accurately. If I delete the print the job from the queue I can then resume the printer. That lasts until the next job is added, putting the printer permanently into "Paused" purgatory!! aka the HP PP syndrome!!
