HP LaserJet 1200 with "undefined" error

Hi -
I have an HP LaserJet 1200 attached to my home network off an HP JetDirect 175 (I think). I can print fine - after the Leopard installation, the settings didn't transfer, but I was able to add a printer and it found the driver.
I'm using an iMac which is wireless (as was the case in the Tiger days), and the printer communicates via AppleTalk. The printer is shared with another G4 iMac and a PC laptop - both wireless, and both print fine.
The problem I have is that, after each successful print, I have an extra page that says:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: D
STACK:
Any idea what this means, and how to fix it? I've never had this before Leopard.
Thanks!
Steve

Hi. I had this exact problem with my HP Laserjet 2300d right after I installed OS 10.5. I tried installing an update to the HP drivers that is available for 10.5 with no success. As well, I didn't try the Gutenprint option because it just didn't make sense to me that the HP drivers alone were faulty. Anyways, what fixed it for me was the "Installed options" setting. This can be accessed by going into the "Print and Fax" preference panel. When you select the printer, click on "Options and Supplies". In my case, my printer is a duplex enabled printer, but under the "Driver" panel, the "Duplex Unit" setting was not selected as one of the installed options. I clicked the checkbox for that feature and now it prints perfectly fine without any error page. Perhaps the problem is the opposite for the Laserjet 1200 users: their printers are not duplex-enabled, but the duplex option is selected, generating an error whenever the computer negotiates a connection with the printer.
I hope this helps, otherwise my getting and resolving this error is just an odd coincidence.

  • HP LaserJet 1200: Prints; creates EXTRA sheet with Offending Command: D

    After every printing job is completed *an extra page is printed* with the following:
    ERROR: undefined
    OFFENDING COMMAND: D
    STACK:
    How can I stop this *unnecessary waste of paper* every time I print something?
    Please help!

    What does work is the following:
    Set your printer to NOT use Appletalk (through your browser).
    Delete your printer and install it again. If you don't see it in the list select IP printer and use the printer's IP address
    Make sure you use a HP driver and not the Generic driver. I used a Gutenprint driver with success on a LaserJet 1200 with a JetDirect network adapter.

  • Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

    I ceased to be able to print when the latest version of FireFox was

    My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

    Hello Josh,
    We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
    To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
    The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

  • Cannot add printer- get error message.  LaserJet 1200

    I recently bought a dual powered MacBook. It was working perfectly, and finding my printer both attached by USB, and wirelessly. It shows up as Bonjour LaserJet 1200. Suddenly, it stopped working, and cannot be added to the printer list. I get an error message,"client error message too long", or some other nonsense. I have several other computers, running OS X, and none of them have any problem sharing the printer, which is connected to an Airport Extreme remote base station. I have tried everything, and come up with no success. So eventhough the printer is recognized, with its address, and is sharable, it suddenly and without cause, cannot be added to the printer list, and thus I cannot print. Any suggestions. Peter
    Recent Dual MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I did. before and I did again. and then uploaded and installed new software and STILL get error 1282. the hp people told me there is nothing they can do it's an apple problem. I'm stumped. If you can think of anything else would appreciate it.

  • New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
    Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried  MacBook using ethernet).
    This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
    Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP,  is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
    tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
    tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
    removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.  
    Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

    Thanks for the replys.
    After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

  • HP laserjet 1200 using windows7, cabled to the printer with a usb to parallel adapter

    HP laserjet 1200 using windows7. My computer has USB ports, but no parallel port, so the computer is cabled to the printer with a usb to parallel adapter. Sometimes works fine, sometimes system states printer as ready, but will not print. Reboot hardware and on restart, I got one page to print. Next attempt to print puts the document in cue, but just sits there -- no error message. Finally, after multiple restarts, I got it to print (have no idea how), but now I had to print 20 pages one page at a time. It will not print more than one page, even if I select to print 20. Next time I start the computer I don't know if the printer will print. Do you need to use the same USB port each time, Or are the USB to parallel adapters undependable?
    This question was solved.

    Hey renradd!
    Unfortunately, parallel to USB adapters can be undependable. Other than a new printer, I'm not sure what would provide you with a fix for this problem. You might try another adapter if you have one, but if that still doesn't work I would look into a printer that your computer could support.
    Hope this helps!

  • Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

    Hello,
    I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities.  Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
    My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format.  Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
    To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction.  I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
    Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
    Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
    It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
    Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
    Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
    Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
    Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
    Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
    I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
    I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request -  save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
    Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
    Paul

    Hello,
    I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
    I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
    I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
    Thanks again for any help related to this issue.  If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks! 
    Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

  • Windows 2008 R2 Driver for HP Laserjet 8150 - Network Connect Fails With 0x000004005 Error

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to connect to a network laserjet 8150 with Windows 2008 R2.  The server keeps complaining that it can't access a suitable driver - even if I point it specifically to the universal printer drivers available on the HP web pages.
    Connecting to the printer manually with a new TCP/IP port seems to work but I need to be able to use the 'right-click, connect' option as the printer is not using a standard port for normal use.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks.

    similar problem with a brother cdn
    upgrade from x4.11 to x5.8 and the printer drives seem to be "wacky"
    ALSO; after downloading the "newest" drivers and installing & the system updater also "found new drivers" and installed them, the problem was actually worse.
    And; in Print manager, created a new printer with driver, still no help, finally in desperation =
    the FIX: to find the nearly dozen duplicate driver files (in both Library / printers & PPDs) and trashed them ALL, then re-installed the brother driver package and all is good again.

  • LaserJet 1200 Jams

    I pulled paper from the front of the LaserJet 1200 instead of the release area in the back of the printer.  Now my printer jams everytime I try and print.  Should I try and buy a part to fix the printer or just scrap this old model?
    Frank

    Hi sabrefreak,
    The Jam Code 13.09.00 JAM IN TOP COVER ARE means that the the printer is detecting that media has crumpled into an accordion fold as it enters the fuser. 
    In your comments you mentioned that the fuser has been replaced but you are still getting the error.
    That leads me to think that the sensor or sensor flag may be damaged.
    This is a photo of the top of the fuser when it has been removed from the printer:
    This is a photo of the bottom of the fuser.  The area circled in red is the sensor flag that is associated with the 13.09.00 Jam.  Make sure this flag can move freely.
    This next picture is to the left of the fuser flag in the photo above.  It is the portion that interacts with the sensor within the engine. Make sure that this has no damage.
    This last photo is within the left side of the print engine where the sensor flag above meets with the sensor.  The sensor is circled in red.  Make sure there is no damage to the sensor area.
    If everything passes visual inspection, you may have a problem with the sensor.  In which case I would recommend you contact HP support.  The sensor may need to be replaced.
    I hope that this helps you.

  • Excel Merge Cells.vi throws an undefined error in Excel 2013?

    Basically, I can't write text into an Excel spreadshoot using the Report Generation tools.
    Using LabVIEW 2013 (SP1) I am writing to individual cells in an Excel (2013) template.
    The error is coming from the Report Generation Toolkit>Excel Specific>Excel Easy Text.vi.>Excel Merge Cells.vi.
    Inside of the "Excel Merge Cells.vi" is an "Invoke Node.Range". When the program hits this point, it throws out an undefined error.
    My code has been running on multiple platforms in multiple programs with no problems using Office 2010.
    NASA upgraded our Office Suit to 2013. I am now throwing an undefined error ( -2146827284).
    I've got a service request in and have talked to an engineer. THey are looking at the problem. However, I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone had seen this particular problem.
    Bryan Alexander

    Problem found, workaround implemented.
    When you use the "New Report.vi", you have to wire in one of four choices for the state of the window. "Maximized", "Minimized", "Normal" and "No Change". If you use the "Excel Easy Text.vi" to insert data into an Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, it will generate an error if you opened the Excel file in "Minimized" mode. The other three states work fine.

  • Multiple web services on single server causing object undefined errors

    Hi,
    I've currently got a bit of a strange problem within a web service that is proving difficult to debug.
    There are the web service urls :
         api.domain.com                -> /var/www/html/api.domain.com/            -> CF mapping to MYSERVICE
         testapi.domain.com          -> /var/www/html/testapi.domain.com/     -> CF mapping to MYSERVICE_test
    In both instances the cfcs that contain the code to be translated into a WSDL reside in /api/..., in the case of this example, /api/common.cfc.  wsargs constists simply of refreshwsdl true.
    If I call the following 2 lines ...
         obj_myservice = CreateObject('webservice','http://api.domain.com/api/common.cfc?wsdl',wsargs);
         obj_myservice_test = CreateObject('webservice','http://testapi.domain.com/api/common.cfc?wsdl',wsargs);
    I then call the same method in both, and they are successful.  When checking the "Data & Services" -> "Web Services" panel within the CF control panel, only the web service "http://api.domain.com/api/common.cfc?wsdl" is listed, and not testapi.domain.com......
    If I reverse the order in which the WSDL's are loaded then this switches, and testapi.domain.com..... gets listed under "Web Services" but api.domain.com..... does not.  In essence it appears as though for some reason the CF server overwrites one with the other.  The exact "object undefined" error is proving difficult to reproduce reliably.
    This appears to happen no matter which server is accessing the web service, be it the same server or a remote server.  All servers involved are running CF8.  Accessing the 2 WSDL files in a browser results in the 2 WSDLs being rendered correctly with different namespace values.
    On the same server are 2 more services
         MYSERVICE2
         MYSERVICE2_test
    These reside in the /api2 directories on the same 2 subdomains, api. and testapi.   MYSERVICE2 and MYSERVICE2_test appear to conflict with each other.  MYSERVICE and MYSERVICE_test appear to conflict with each other.  MYSERVICE and MYSERVICE2 do not appear to conflict with each other.
    Is there a configuration change or anything like that which I should be aware of that would prevent me doing the above?  The 2 /api/ directories are nearly identical with the exception that the namespace and complex type names have been set to http://api.domain.com & MYSERVICE in the first, and http://testapi.domain.com & MYSERVICE_test in the second url.
    I have also tried mapping /MYSERVICE and /MYSERVICE_test within /opt/coldfusion8/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.  If there is any useful information that I have missed off please let me know and I'll dig it out.
