HP Laserjet 1300 "printer not responding"

I have a G5 tower, with Tiger and am printing to an HP Laserjet 1300. I often get the message: "printer not responding". If I turn the printer off and on, it works. any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm connected through usb.

Is your printer connected through a hub or directly to the computer?

  • Laserjet 1300 printer installation

    I got an old laserjet 1300 printer from a friend - no driver or manual included.  Downloaded the driver from the hp website.  My OS is Windows XP.  This printer isn't listed for installation purposes.  I reviewed the manual for compatible drivers, but didn't see anything that addressed that issue.
    Anyone out there know of one or more printers whose drivers are compatible with Laserjet 1300?
    This has a brand new ink cartridge, so I hate not to use it!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I searched the driver on HP website, and the driver only up to Windows 8.1, I suspect that there's might be a compatibility issue here, I suggest you try the available drivers one by one, and check if one driver can fix this issue, if no drivers works, then
    we will be out of luck here. In that case, please contact the HP support and check if they have any updated drivers for the printer.

  • Network printer not responding

    Hello
    When I try to print from my MacBook to my Canon network printer, I get the error message "printer not responding", even the printer works fine with both windows notebooks connected to the same WLAN.
    I have a Canon MF8540Cdn printer connected with Ethernet to my router. The printer has the ip address 10.1.1.10, the gateway is 10.1.1.1 (Router IP) and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
    Then I have three notebooks, one MacBook (IP 10.1.1.101) and two windows notebooks (a HP notebook (IP 10.1.1.102) and a Lenovo notebook (IP 10.1.1.103)). All three notebooks are connected wo the same WLAN using enterprise encryption.
    The two windows notebooks can print to the canon printer perfectly fine and have not havd any issues at all.
    However, from the MacBook I can not print since the upgrade to OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have the latest update from Mavericks.
    So, I deleted the printer (settings - printer) and resetted the printing system and deleted the printer also in the folder "Library - Printers". Then I got the latest driver (version 10.2) from Canon and installed the driver (dmg file).
    Next I added the printer in the in the settings  as follows:
    1. Hit the "+" buttton to add a printer
    2. Select "IP"
    3. enter the ip address of the printer (10.1.1.10)
    4. Select "Line printer daemon"
    5. The system automatically detected the printer "MF8500 Series" and filled in the location.
    6. Add the printer
    When I open the printer options now, I can see the toner levels corretly, so the MacBook must have connection to the printer.
    In addition, I can open the printer web address in Safary by going to http://10.1.1.10 , this also works fine and I can modify settings too. So the IP connection is also fine here.
    But, when I print a document, PDF, Word, Safari,..., the system firs report "connecting to the printer" and after a while it states "printer not responding"!
    The printer seems not to get any info, as it does not start or show any error message.
    However, the two windows notebooks can print fine, and I tried to print from windows, then directly after print from the MacBook, or first MacBook then windows or both allone, wait 1 hour print from MacBook, then wait one hour and print from Windows.
    The result is always the same. The windows print fine, the MacBook does not print and reports printer not responding.
    If I check the log file on the MacBook, it shows the time and the job number and then printer not responding.
    Meanwhilte I deleted the printer aleready a couple times and also reinstalled the printer driver from Canon. On the Canon cummunity I also submitted a ticket, but everybody responded that the driver works perfectly fine.
    Any idea, where the problem could be?
    Thanks for any help,
    Rolly

    Select "Line printer daemon"
    Why are you doing that? When you select the printer in the Add dialog, the driver should be entered automatically. Does that not happen?

  • Lexmark Optra T610: "Printer Not Responding"

    Right. Where to start. Just got a new PB G4 17". Used to have a titanium G4 15" running 10.1 through 10.3. Now running 10.4.3 on this new 'book. I have a Lexmark Optra T610 with the USB option, which used to function just fine on the old computer but which is now making me want to toss gasoline and a lighted match on it. Basically, all the necessary software has been installed and the correct (ie, working) cable has been connected. The Printer Setup Utility sees and recognizes the printer, and I can select it in all the print dialogs, as well as change various settings such as resolution. However, when I press Print and the computer does its thing and sends the file to the printer, I get an error message saying "Printer Not Responding". This is driving me nuts and I can't find any word of this anywhere (mind you, I haven't come to the "end" of the internet yet, so maybe the answer is actually out there somewhere). And yes, I have tried doing strange things, such as deleting PPDs and preferences and so forth. I've also gone through all the menus on the printer until it's obvious I'm going in circles. It's like the printer has turned into a feline that simply ignores its master. GRRRR!!!! Thanks for any help you can provide. --Pete

    I have had exactly the same problem from my iBook. Until I upgraded to Tiger all I had to do was plug in the USB cable and print. Now I get the "Printer Not Responding" message. I install the latest print driver for OS 10.4 from Lexmark and the computer lists the printer in the print dialog box.
    I spoke with Apple tech support and he suggested resetting the printing system after reviewing what else I had done. Noting had worked and neither did this. The only other thing he could suggest was to contact Lexmark, if that didn't work he said we would have to try an archive and reinstall.
    I really hope someone has a more constructive suggestion.
    Thanks,

  • Printer not responding message

    My computer no longer works with my printer. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.2 and a HP C 6280. Original problem started today when I tried to print, intial indication was normal but after a minute or so computer print info shows "printer not responding" message. Printer is plugged in,  works as a copier and I printed a HP Network Configuration Page from the printer itself.  I followed instructions on the forum and took the printer away System Preferences>Printers Scanners> Delete and when I tried to reinstall the printer it's not finding it. Looking online it seems the printer should appear as an option when I click the plus on Printer Scanners page I get an ADD screen but the printer isn't listed there either and I can't add it. IP address typed  in Browser window doesn't find anything but I don't know how to fix that. I am using a Cable set up and the printer is hooked up via ethernet cable to the modem. This printer has worked fine till now I would certainly appreciate any help getting it back online. Thank You

    Hi di757,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you can't get your printer back online with an Ethernet connection.
    I would recommend to try and power off the Mac, turn off the printer, unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in, turn the printer back on, then turn the Mac back on. After that unplug the Ethernet cable from both ends and plug it back in.
    Then I would try to follow this guide. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Hope this helps, and have a great day.

  • CS4 "Printer Not Responding"

    Hi, I successfully printed a doc from CS4 with my canon ip4300 printer, seconds later another would not print. The printer dialogue says "printer not responding".
    After re-start got message "unrecognised USB device" , so I uninstalled then re-installed the printer.
    I can now print from Notepad and Lightroom but if I try to print from Photoshop CS4 I still get message "printer not responding".
    Seems to be a photoshop problem rather than a printer problem, any ideas??

    "Sleazy1369" canon PIXMA MG5420

    Hi sleazy1369, we're glad to help.
    There are a few possible causes of printing error occurring under a wireless or USB connection.  If the driver was downloading when pressing the print button, an interruption in the process and ability to print could occur.  However, please remove any print jobs that may be pending in the print queue, disconnect the USB cable (if still connected) and shut down both your computer and multifunction printer for 10 mins.
    If you prefer to print wirelessly, please use the following link to Article: "Printer not responding (Wireless LAN)- MG5420 / MG5422" on the Canon USA product page for your product. Thee steps provided can be helpful in resolving the issue.
    Once reaching the website, just enter the Article name in the FAQ Search box and press "Search" to retrieve the information.
    However, if the issue remains or further assistance is needed, please feel free to Contact Us and we'll be happy to help you further.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 200 Printer Not Responding Wirelessly to Macbook Pro 13 Using Mavericks OS

    My printer has worked fine wirelessly since upgrading to Mavericks in Jan 2014.   Last week my printer stopped responding both wirelessly and with the cable.  I can print wirelessly from my I-Phone and I-Pad.  I have reset the printers (deleted them) and reinstalled the printer software (downloaded software for Mavericks), and now the printer and scanner functions work only with the cable installed.  I can once again print wirelessly using my I-Phone and I-Pad, but not from my MacBook.  I am connected to the same network, and I am able to access the Internet and have all other network functionality, I just can't get the Mac to recognize the printer over the network.  During setup, it doesn't even recognize the printer over the network.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi P3scott,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see by your post that you are unable to get the printer recognized on the Mac through the wireless network.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Try and ping the printer on the Mac.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, then click applications, then Network Utilities.
    (you can go to the finder and type in Network Utilities)
    Click on PING from the bar at the top of the window.
    Enter the IP Address of the printer and click Ping.
    Did you get any replies back?
    If you are not able to add the printer by the default button from the printers and scanners window then you need to make sure the router supports bonjour packets and can do multicasting. You can contact your router company.
    The router might have just had a update causing this issue.
    Since the Mac is not seeing the printer automatically then you could try manually adding the IP address in.
    You can add the printer as a IP Protocal to see if it will work.
    Go to the Apple, system preferences, printers and scanner, (some systems print and fax) click the  + button, then select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then apply the settings.
    What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    (m251 or the m276)
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • 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.
    Ernie

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