HP Laserjet 1020 printer not printing at all

I have this HP Laserjet 1020 printer that I loaned to a friend when her computer died and since I got it back no matter what I do it won't print on my desktop (HP Pavilion Media Center a1324n Desktop PC)  it prints without problem with my laptop and I've done nothing to the laptop to make it work etc, however on my desktop I've uninstalled, re-installed and downloaded all the latest drivers etc trying to get it to work but without success. 
When I hit the print button, the green ready light is on, then briefly the red trouble light goes on, the printer starts whirring, then the red light goes off, the green light stays on the whole time and the unit stops whirring.  I check the print status box it shows the print job in the que as printing but nothing is happening so I sit and wait for a while (a couple of minutes) and then out of frustration I cancel and delete the print job, turn the printer off, the print job disappears from the print dialogue box and I turn the printer back on it whirs and the does nothing. I've repeated this process multiple times and then I pull my hair out.  Now I'm bald.  I used to look like Brad Pit (in my dreams) help me before I start looking like golum in lord of the rings.

That is pretty straightforward.  The printer does not respond to the print command.  Help!!!!

  • Hp laserjet 1020 does not print

    Operating System Windows 7 PRO 64 bit
    Does the HP laserjet 1020 work on the above software?
    Tried to uninstall the printer drivers but failed. Message-setup encountered an abnormal program execution. setup will shut down. This was using the hp uninstallprogram. Tried the HP diaqnositc. Said all printer functions ok but could not pront a test page.
    Installed new drivers.started over but no test page printed.
    You can disconnect the printer and run a test print that goes to the print que and holds. Turn on printer and the que clears but no page prints.
    Frustrated and confused.

    Can you go to the Devices and Printers folder and on the top task bar, click on remove printer? If not, then...
    You can also go into your C:// drive, then Program files, then HP folder, and delete the HP LaserJet 1020 Driver from there. Not the ideal way to do it but you can do it this way.
    Once you have done this, go back into your Devices and Printers folder, makes sure any printer (doesn't matter what one as long as it isn't the 1020 if that is still showing) has a green check on it, then up in the task bar, click on Print server properities. Open this and click on the driver tab, if the 1020 isn't showing in there then it shouldn't be in your driver store anymore. If it is showing in the list, try to remove it by clicking the remove button. When the pop up appears, try remove driver only. Then repeat the process and try remove driver and driver package. Sometimes the second option doesn't work until you do the first option, sometimes it doesn't work at all. If it doens't work, then you need to go into your C:// drive and remove the folder following the steps above. Make sense?
    Make sure you have deleted your download folder and recycle bin and you should be okay to re-boot and re-install.

  • My HP Laserjet 1020 will not print from Internet Explorer 9

    I just get an error message saying that "an error occurred on the script on this page."  The printer works fine with other software.  Moreover, Internet Explorer will print perfectly on my old HP deskjet 940c.  I've downloaded the latest driver for the Laserjet 1020, but it doesn't help.  Any suggestions?

    My Hp 1020 Laserjet will not print  when using Explorer 9, it did when using Explorer 8.
    I get an error :
    Unexpected call to method or property access
    Code: 0
    Url: res://ieframe.dll/preview:js
    It will print when using Mozilla FireFox
    What can I do ?

  • Laserjet 1020 does not print / print spooler shuts down.

    Print spooler shuts down after installing lj1020_1022-HB-pnp-win64-en and restoreing to previous windows 7 restore point.
    I have deleted the printer several times.
    Running x64 windows 7.  This is a new problem after several months of running consistenly.
    BK

    I have the same problem but only with printing documents from secure sites (online brokerage)  like statements and Tax Documents.  The problem exists whether I print directly from the website, or download the document and try to print the file.  I suspect the issue is with the driver for the 1020 because I can print the same files on my HP PhotoSmart Plus with no problems.  I too am running Windows 7 64 bit edition.  The bad print job stops the Spooler.  You can Restart the Spooler (it appears), but the minute you try to print anything, the Spooler shuts down again.  Rebooting does not fix the problem.  The only solution is a System Restore.
    After the 1020 shuts down the spooler, even my PhotoSmart cannot print, but it at least produces error msgs to the
    effect that "No pages have been selected for printing".  Trying to print from the 1020 - absolutely nothing happens - no printer dialog, no error message - just nothing.

  • HP Laserjet 4100 will not print in Snow Leopard

    Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
    My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
    I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
    I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
    Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, another week has gone by without a solution.
    Again, here is the problem:
    I have a 24" iMac connected to a USB hub and an AT&T 2-Wire DSL/ethernet hub. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and now the update 10.6.2, the two printers on the USB hub work fine but the HP Laserjet 4100dtn does not print. This old printer has only ethernet or serial ports. I've downloaded and installed the HP driver updates from Apple and HP to no avail. According to HP, I must add the 4100 manually using its IP. I've followed the instructions while adding a printer to select IP- HP Jetdirect - Socket. The address of the printer is 10.0.1.100. When I type this in, the window says that this is a valid and complete address. It searches and then says the "Print Using:" is a Generic PostScript Printer. The driver for this printer, I believe, should be "HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107" Regardless, when I click Add the window "Determining Installable Options" shows "Status: Connecting to printer..." It never establishes a connection.
    The 2-Wire DSL/Ethernet Hub/Modem, has an IP of 192.1687.1.66, Submask 255.255.255.0 and Router (DNS) 192.168.1.254.
    If I plug the ethernet cable directly from the printer to the iMac, the supply level shows correctly but will not print. If I plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the 2-Wire and then to the iMac, it neither shows supply level nor prints.
    Any suggestion as to how to fix this problem? (I've been on the phone with 3 different Apple respresentatives and 1 HP representative with no success.)

  • LaserJet 1020 won't print first document after powering up

    My LaserJet 1020 won't print the first document it receives after powering-up. Print manager shows that the document is being sent, the printer makes noise like it's getting ready to print, but the document is never printed and I don't receive an error messages. If I send the document again the document prints as does every document there after.
    I'm using Windows Vista Professional and the printer is connected via USB 2.0.

    Hi jnickelsen,
    I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
    What drivers are you using?
    Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
    If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

  • 6510 all in one photosmart printer - not printing black and/or not at all after 7/22/15 update....

    Printer not printing in black at all, poor color print since 7/22/15. I have downloaded drivers and software, hard reset the printer (power cord out and unplugged then plugged all back in), read all the forums, watched youtube videos, called friends, googled answers, bought new ink (waste of money), cleaned print head multiple times, did every step on every forum post to no avail...  Bought a new printer but really would rather return it and get my money back after getting this printer up and running again- why because I think the problem is due to HP and the new update released 7/22/15! I'm very upset, I have spent countless hours attempting to fix this printer (which I really do love up until now).  I have lost credit on school assignments due to printing issues, wasted money on ink (that is really expensive) and wasted the ink trying to fix it running test page after test page.  I feel like this is not fair to the consumer and I am very upset.  I am ready to throw this thing in the street and smash it to pieces with a baseball bat at this point.  I really would rather fix it but apparently this is the only way to contact someone.  I have had this printer for 3 years and do not think I need to replace it or spend money to call someone from HP to fix it nor do I feel like I need to have it "serviced", nor do I wish to waste any futher time or money on the expensive ink this printer requires.

  • Printer not printing AND Matching Screen colors to Print colors.  Any advice is apreciated!!

    Hello - I have 2 questions regarding  printing to an Epson and also regarding the monitor colors Not matching the print colors working from Photoshop CS4 on a Mac with a Maverick [ 10.9.3 ] OS. My issues are Not about my own printers or software.  I have been tutoring a friend via phone in Photoshop; he has CS4 and is working on Mac OS 10.9.3.
    1- We found that he could print nearly fine [ nearly accurate colors ] from Lightroom on his computer, version 5.4.   But when he tries to print from Photoshop he cannot make a print.   There is clear communication between the computer and the printer, as, when he sent the file to print, the printer [ an Epson 3880 ] responded by automatically changing to Photo Black from Matte.  Then, it opens the rollers as if to print, but, it them stops and the menu [ on the Printer ] says 'Ready.'   The paper is 4x6” Moab Lasal paper 300gsm. This issue of Not printing is only with this Moab Lasal luster paper, for which he Does have the IIC profile, and we always make sure ‘Photoshop manages colors,’ not the printer. To address the issue of the printer Not printing at all using a non-Epson brand paper, we have tried seemingly everything from deleting and re-adding the printer from the Library / Printers, resetting everything [ printer   computer   software etc ], trying different settings in the Printer window and the Print Settings window. Including changing the media profile, platen gap, etc.
    2- My other and more important question is – after we Do get a print, we cannot match the monitor color to the print. [ We havE been able to get a print using Epson brand paper.   Which is odd because we have the ICC profiles for both papers ]. To address the color matching issue, he has told me he calibrated the monitor with a Spyder, and here are a few other variables that I can relay that may or may not be affecting his color-issues:
    He iS viewing his prints in a dayliglht-rated lighting environment
    The monitor is an iMac glossy finish monitor, not an anti-glare
    We tried working and printing from both an 8-bit and also a 16-bit color-space and also 16-bit printing
    The color shift is slightly but noticeably toward Magenta.
    His printer is Not calibrated
    Please let me know what else we can do, any known glitches that may be an issue with his older version of CS, any tips you can suggest.
    Thanks very much!

    I don't have that printer and I'm not on Mac, so someone else has to step in there. Generally a green/magenta cast indicates none/double printer color management. But then I don't know what you mean by "slight".
    The Spyders aren't the most consistent and reliable calibrators out there. I had a Spyder 3 sensor that I just threw away because it gave a distinct red cast (I have several other calibrators, so there was no doubt). Another potential problem is that with most calibrators you can only adjust the white point along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale, but not on the green/magenta scale. This is often necessary to get a good white point color. In this case you need to use the monitor's OSD controls, and if possible the "pre-calibration" function in the calibrator to measure and monitor it - if that function exists. And I don't know if this is possible with an iMac.
    This is basically a question of getting the white point right, both on the blue/yellow and the green/magenta axis (and luminance of course). The goal is to get a visual match to paper white on screen. With the white point properly set, neutral color balance relates to that, and the rest more or less follows by itself. (In addition you should set the proper black point/contrast for full control, but that's not the issue here).

  • HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

    Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
    I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable  the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
    I have cups version 1.5.0-1
    hplip 3.11.7-2
    What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
    I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
    I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
    Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    -Brittany

    I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
    Absolutely.
        If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing?   If your not you should be.  if it failing does start manually work?   
    if it's running you should be able to access via browser.  localhost:631   
    also see/try
    $ hp-toolbox
    CUPS interface better option IMO tho.

  • Laserjet 1020. Cannot print with Internet Explorer 9

    I have downloaded the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer 9  and now find that I cannot print emails with my HP Laserjet 1020. Previously when using IE8 printing was OK. I use Windows Live Mail and Windows Vista as my OS. I also have an Epson printer that works OK with IE9 and Live Mail but the HP does not. I would like to keep IE9 if possible

    Hi ATOL,
    It sounds like you might be selecting properties instead of  "printer properties".
     Double check and make sure that  you're selecting "printer properties" from the list.

  • Laserjet 1020 Won't Print Multiple Copies

    I have a Laserjet 1020.  OS is Windows 7, 64x.  If I give a command to print any document multiple times, it will only print it once.  So, if the document is 1 page and I need 5 copies, it will print that one page one time.  If the document is 4 pages and I need 5 copies, it will print the four pages of the document, but only once.  So, the issue is with multiple *copies*, not multiple *pages*.  I have tried the simple stuff (turning the computer on and off; checking for updates; removing the printer and completely reinstalling it; etc.).  Nothing works.  I did see elsewhere somebody say that if you go to start; devices/printers; right click printer; and hit DEVICE SETTINGS tab, then you can change this "MOPIER" mode thing.  But that is the problem... THERE IS NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB.  No, I am not crazy.  It isn't there.   So, the problem with that fix, which appeared to work for others in the HP Forum, won't work for me because there is NO DEVICE SETTINGS TAB.  So... How do I fix this?  Why don't I have a device settings tab?  Help!  :-)

  • Laserjet 4L will not print

    I have windows 7 (64 bit); I have had the HP Laserjet 4L for a long time, and find it an excellent product. I waited for the win 7 drivers and downloaded them on February 28, 2010. All went well, the printer recognized everything, the ready light lit, the document showed in the queue as printing, but it would not print. I tried printing from different sources but all failed - even though each time it said it was ready to print.
    I do not know what else to do. Hope you can help.

    Hello EugeneZ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial LaserJet Forums.
    The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime: HP LaserJet 4L/mL Printer series
    I hope this helps!

  • LaserJet 5000 will not print more than one copy at a time.

    We have recently moved our office.  A LaserJet 5000 which is used as an office printer is shared through one of the computers on the network in the exact same way it was more we moved.  But since the move it will not print multiple copies of the same document no matter how many copies the software tells the printer to print it will only print one copy then it stops.  Before the moved it worked fine.  If the software program such as Word told it to print 100 copies it printed 100 copies now one is the limit.   So if you want to printmore than one you have to hit print that many times.  It has 172 MB RAM.  Does anyone have any ideas of what might have happened????

    I have the same issue with a photosmart 2410xi. Did you ever get yours figured out?

  • Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

    HP LaserJet P1006
    Windows 7 64-bit
    No error message
    No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
    - printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
    - when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
    - but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
    - and no page is being printed
    - the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
    Can anyone help me with this? 

    HI,
    Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One.  Worked for me.  Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks.  Hope it works for you.
