HP LaserJet 1320 requires user intervention to print after Leopard

Ever since upgrading to Leopard, almost every single time I send a print job to my HP LaserJet 1320 (over the network, it actually connected to a PowerMac G5 in my office), it triggers an error warning (orange flashing light) on the printer. Pressing the main green print button lets the job print, but this is really annoying.
I checked and Apple recently posted a note about the HP LaserJet 1200 having a very similar problem except that an error page was printed after each job. The workaround they suggest for this doesn't work with the LaserJet 1320 problem, however.
A quick Google reveals at least one other Leopard using HP LaserJet 1320 owner is seeing a similar issue. And actually, as I composed this post, I found some 1320 owners in another Apple Discussion post about HP printer issues with Leopard. They suggested using the generic PostScript driver, but then I really like to have the ability to duplex.
Nothing in the /private/var/log/cups/error_log file of note as far as I can tell.
Any ideas? Any other people out there experiencing this problem who might have a solution (other than switching to a generic postscript driver)?

Ok, I think I've figured a way to make the laserjet 1320 stop requiring "user intervention" (e.g. pressing the green button for every printjob).
Try the following:
Open "System Preferences" -> Choose "Print & Fax" -> Choose the Laserjet 1320 printer -> Press button "Options and Supplies..." -> Select Driver "tab" -> In the drop-down-menu "Fit to page" choose "Nearest Size and Scale" instead of "Prompt User".
The chosen driver should be "HP Laserjet 1320 series", because the generic postscript printerdriver dosen't have the duplex option amongst other shortcomings.
I find it odd that the lowest memory-option is 16-31mb of ram. The default configuration of 16mb is not IN that range, but maybe that is a little too nitty-gritty.

Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.

My brand new printer LaserJet Pro MPF M127fn won't print after initial test print worked fine

Just installed this printer. USB connection to my PC. Test prints worked fine. Suddenly has stop printing from Word or emails.

On your Mac, open:
System preferences > Network > (whatever your connection) and examine the IPv4 Address.
Wired routers most often use local addresses in the 192.168.xxx.yyy range
Wireless Routers most often use local addresses in the 10.10.xxx.yyy range.
These ranges (along with a few others) are reserved for sets of "private" addresses, that are not visible on the Internet.
The Router will usually be located at kkk.lll.mmm.01
Whatever the range you are using, all the devices with similar addresses can talk freely to each other without any intervention. Any devices with sharply different addresses (such as the entirety of the Internet) must use the Router as their "agent" to communicate.
You want your printers to have addresses in the same range as everything else. If you find you have two non-overlapping ranges active, you will need to demote one of your Routers to be only a wireless access point, not a full Router.

HP LaserJet 5m on network; can't print on Leopard

In the past, before Leopard 10.5.5 I could print to a networked HP 5m without a problem. Now with 5.5 installed I get "attempting to connect to host..." and "Network host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is busy; will retry..." This error continues +ad infinitum+.
Yesterday I could ping the printer. Today I can't. I've tried every trick found here on the forum, installing with a multitude of different settings, as a LPD and as HP IP and HP JetDirect (which the printer has and has worked in the past.)
I'm EXCEEDINGLY frustrated with what is, apparently, a 10.5.5 problem.
Anyone got the hot item solution?
Thank you muchly.

Yes, yes,
Please call Hp/printer support/mac group and report your issue AND FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT.
Lost ability to print via TC using USB to Hp M1522nf that is only 4 months old...seems to have occurred upon loading latest Apple Leopard patches about 1 1/2 weeks ago (TC and iChat?? do not remember exactly what came in). Need more Mac people to contact Hp by phone so they can grasp the depth of this issue.
Yesterday, discovered Hp set-up assistant software no longer able to view the USB-connected printer, so cannot start or complete a new set-up. That same printer is invisible to my network as well.
There is a long thread of broken networking issues somewhere on this discussion site, stemming from those recent patches. Seems 3rd party and suppliers were not prepared or fully informed, or keeping up with Apple, so issues galore.
Apple seems to have pushed an ill-fated patches out and everyone with networks be damned! Like it or not...latest set of patches like rotten apples and spoiling the bushel.
Keep us posted if you can.
Thanks!

Can no longer print to shared windows printer after leopard upgrade

Hi guys,
I know this is a topic that has come up before, and I have gone through the support forums trying to resolve this on my own, but I am at a roadblock. Printing used to work on Tiger, and now it doesn't, and I simply don't know how to debug the problem any further. Hopefully someone here can help me help myself... In the meantime because of this issue, and several others, I've had to "downgrade" back to Tiger.
Here are the "facts".
1. I have a Epson Stylus R300 printer.
2. Printer is connected to windows XP box.
3. Said xp box is on network at 192.168.1.101
4. Mac ip is 192.168.1.102
5. Windows workgroup name is sutter_wg
6. shared printer name is stylus_pc
I have added the advanced tab to the add printer dialog and thus have access to directly putting the address of the printer. I don't really understand samba - I was only able to get it to work on Tiger by reading through the support forums. I have not been as successful with the Leopard support forums. I'm doing the following from memory as I'm not currently at my mac... anyway, this is the address I used to "add" the printer.
smb://192.168.1.101/stylus_pc
smb://192.168.1.101/sutterwg/styluspc
When I go to print, it is placed in the print queue and nothing happens. No error message, and no print. Looking at the print queue, it's in the stop state. But I don't get any information on why it went to stop that I can use to debug. Did it not resolve the ip? Was there some kind of permissions problem? Is there a printer driver incompatibility? I don't know. I don't know how to find out.
So here's what I've done so far from a debug point of view.
1. I've proved that I can connect to the windows box in Leopard via the "go to server" option in Finder.
2. I've connected the stylus to the mac directly and printed from there. No problems. Interestingly though, it's a different printer driver. When I connect the printer up directly, the printer driver is for Epson Stylus R300, my exact printer. However when I add the printer via the network, the best I can do is a generic "epson stylus" printer driver. I went to epson web page to download the latest driver, and they only have drivers for 10.4. No 10.5. Apparently Leopard has a 10.5 driver built in since it used it when I connected directly, but that driver does not appear to be available when I add the printer via the network. What gives?
So that's where I'm at. If anyone has any help to offer, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks!
-Kris

All Users were given Admin after Leopard updgrade

I just found that all of my user accounts were given Admin. I cannot set the Parental controls for my kids. I am unable to uncheck the "Allow user to administer this computer". It is greyed out for all users.
Has anyone else seen this?

I just tried deleting one of my kids' accounts and recreating it and Admin still shows up in the group, and allowing admin is still greyed out.

Kodak 5300 - Cannot print after Leopard install

1) Latest drivers from Kodak reinstalled

How can my users unpause a printer without admin login?

Everytime a printer goes into a paused state it requires me to login as the admin for the que to unpause the printer. Any ideas?

Hi!
Disable printer queue password requirements for 10.5 (works also in 10.6.8):
Mac OS X 10.5 requires you to enter an administrator's password to pause/resume a print queue, where no previous version of OS X has done so. This is extremely annoying in a lab setting -- if there's a paper jam or something, the queues on all the computers need to be restarted by an administrator, instead of the user just clicking Resume. I haven't seen a solution to this elsewhere, so here's what I came up with:
1. As root, or in a Terminal session with su privileges, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
2. Find this section:
Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Restart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs> AuthType Default Require user @AUTHKEY(system.print.admin) @admin @lpadmin Order deny,allow</Limit>
3. Remove the items you don't want limited: Pause-Printer, Resume-Printer, Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job, etc.
4. Save the file, quit the editor, and restart your computer.

Hp laserjet 1320 - networkin problems - networking solution

hi
i had the same problems like some of you with the hp laserjet 1320 n while using this printer in a network.
here is a solution that may work:
connect the printer directly (not via router) to the computer, reset the network settings ofthe printer (press button on the back near the rj-45 connection for 5 sec while starting the printer). wait for 5 min!!!, then print the network status (press shortly the same button onthe back of the printer). read the ip adress, which the printer had given himself. the go to safari an type in the adress. now you are getting connected to the printers settings. set the ip to dhcp an give the printer a certain number inbetween your ip range of your dhcp settings in the tc/ip (mostly 192.168.x.x). then you can disconnect an connect the printer back to the network-router.
then print center: thrwo away old 1320 printers and search again for the 1320. this time it should work, even with the hp installed printer-description from the installation cd.
good luck
imac g5, pb g4, etc. Mac OS X (10.4.7)

HP LaserJet 1320 Duplex Printing Not working with Windows 7

Hi
I've just bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have an HP LaserJet 1320 printer (Prod no. Q5927A, SN CNGW53RLRY).
I cannot find driver that works the same way as the previous driver HP LaserJet PCL5. If I use this driver and can still get duplex printing but it will only print one copy at a time.
If I upgrade to HP Universal Printing PLC (or PLC v5) I can print multiple copies but not duplex printing. I have searched high and low through the HP site but to no avail.
Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks
GB

Hello,
I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
Printer Properties:
From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
--> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
Printing Preferences:
again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
-->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
Let me know if this helps...

Windows 7 system cannot network print to LaserJet 1320

Recently our office got a new Windows 7, 64-bit laptop, and for the past three days I have been unable to get it to print though the network to our HP LaserJet 1320. I can connet it via the USB cable and print directly to the printer, however, I recive an "unalbe to connect" error with all attempts to connect to the printer through the network .
The LaserJet 1320 is conncected to an XP system and shared over the network. Three other XP systems and two Linux systems can connect and print to it just fine. Also the Windows 7 laptop has been able to print to a shared HP DeskJet 6980 and an ancient Lexmark 4039 though the network.
It does not appear to be a network issue. I've tried varous versions of the HP Universal Printing driver, but so far not has been able to connect though the network. Is there one in particualr I should try? Does the Universal printing driver not support network printing?
Thanks! Any help with this probelm will be greatly appreciated.

Never mind solved my issue using the specific vista x64 (on windows7) driver rather then using the universal print driver...
Might fix your issue with network shared printer.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks
gumboman

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.

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.

Problem print all pages on my HP Laserjet 1320 from my Mac

I am having a strange printing problem.
Happens in almost any program (Mail / Excel /Preview/Word/TextEdit/etc.). I can ask it to print a one page document. It spools, the printer flashes. The computer said it is done but nothing printed. On the same document, if I tell it to print 2 copies of the one page document, it will print one page sometimes and two pages other times. When printing long multipage documents it will sometimes not print the last page. It is almost as if the needs to be something at the end of the print job to push the last bit along to the printer and complete the print job. It only started happening 3-4 months ago. Now I have to check everything I print to make sure it is all there. This printer is connected to my Mac Mini via USB.
If I send the same print jobs to the company network printer....everything prints fine. (Kyocera - copier/printer/scanner/fax combo unit)
Here is some info on My system.
Mac Mini 2.3 GHZ i5 / 4GB memory
OS X 10.9.5
Printer is HP Laserjet 1320
I have deleted and reinstalled the printer several times and no joy.

I've also had problems with the HP 1320 and my Mac. Some things print, while others just give a blinking green light and then it goes off. This recently happened to me while trying to print a series of labels from Word. Giving up on the HP, I decided to print the labels off my inkjet printer and placed a number a labels in the printer and hit print for 100 copies. Since I had being doing some other things in-between, I didn't notice that the print select had also gone to my default printer the HP. Suddenly, thinking the inkjet was to print the labels, the HP starts printing those labels. I then noticed that the HP was the printer selected, but I was at a loss to figure out why it suddenly had started to actually print the item that I was previously unable to do. I finally determined that when I tried printing to the HP with the initial (1) copy it would not print; if I changed that number to (2) it would print one copy; if (3) I would get 2 copies; thus the print was giving exactly one less copy than I selected; thus when I select (1) copy it reads it as 0, will blink green and give me nothing. Give it a try.

HP LaserJet 1320 won't print in color (Win7 64 bit, new cartridge)

I can't get my HP Laserjet 1320 to print in color any more. Changed the cartridge. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the issue started before the upgrade to Win 7. I can't even find the selection for color vs black and white printing.

The LaserJet 1320 printer is a monochrome printer, not a colour printer.
