HP Laserjet M1212nf MFP not printing doc in Windows print queue

Printer is connected via USB to a laptop running XP. Prints OK. Have another Windows laptop connected via wireless network, sharing the printer and this prints OK. Am trying to share the printer with a Mac OSX Lion over the wireless network. I can get a doc into the print queue on the laptop hosting the printer but nothing prints. The print queue says it's printing and it does complete and delete from queue, but nothing prints. I have tried attaching the printer as a generic PS and PCL printer when configuring the Mac printer share but get same result. I don't see the drivers for the 1212 in the drop-down list on the Mac when I connect to the printer.

[SOLVED] foomatic-rip-hplip and HP laserjet M1212nf MFP printer

I'm trying to install and configure the drivers for the HP laserjet M1212nf MFP printer to work with CUPS over a wired network using the hplip utilities.
I've installed and set up the printer drivers etc using hp-setup and the printer is appearing in the CUPS interface. The problem is that when trying to print a test page
from the cups interface, I'm receiving the message "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed"
Has anyone had any experience with this error? what needs to be done to fix this? this is semi-important as I need my printer for work and school.
SOLVED: okay, so I found several solutions that combined seem to have solved my problems.
1.) remove the printer from cups
2.) instead of using 'hp-setup -i <printer-ip> just use hp-setup -i.
3.) have Hal, Dbus, and Avahi up and running (probably my biggest problem, I didn't have hal or avahi installed, and I didn't have dbus running)
4.) unpause printer
5.) pray
6.) print test page.
these steps worked for me (not necessarily in the above order...)

I have problem with my M1212nf MFP.
I can't even setup my printer and I get
hp-setup[20577]: debug: Restarting CUPS...

I'm very frustrated. I'm running all the mentioned daemons but no luck.

HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer - Communication Failure with the scanner

Dear all,
May I kindly ask if there are any known resolutions in terms of a scanning issue with the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer?
When it starts scanning the printer only scans the up to the 3rd or 4th page, it stops in the middle of the sheet and produces an error message stating the following: Communication Failure with the scanner.
Are there any steps that may be followed in order to resolve the incident?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ryan

Hi @Ryan_HP ,
I see that you are experiencing a communication error during scanning of multiple pages. I would like to help, but I will need some more information to provide you with the correct steps to resolve this issue.
If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to rule out any interference.
Try scanning again.
What operating system are you using?
How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
What scanning software are you using?
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

Airprint to HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP from Windows

Hi!
I have a HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP, and connected it to the network via Ethernet, and was elated when I saw that I could Airprint (wirelessly) from all 3 iPhones and the iPad in the family!
I was not very elated when my 3 windows printers can only ePrint by using attached docs to emails, and then only certain formats. I would expect this lack of funtionality from an Apple specific printer, but not from an HP printer!
Through Googleing I saw what I thought was the answer: To fool my PC into thinking it can (wirelessly) print to an airprinter through the network, but nothing panned out as being that...
Really disappointed in HP this time. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Joe

Hello Joe_In_Missouri,

Sti Error! Video initialize error on HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP

I'm using HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP all in one printer on Windows 7 32bit. When i try to scan a document it gives me an error message Sti Error! Video initialize error on my coputer screen. I have re-installed the printer drivers but the problem still persists. I have also used HP Print and Scan Doctor and restarting the device from power cable, this also did not work. I connected it to another computer with windows 7 64bit and it worked perfectly.
There is however no issue copying or printing only when I try to scan.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi @SoStoked ,
I see that you are having issues scanning on the one computer. You are getting the error "Sti Error! Video initialize error".
I would like to help.
It sounds like you are having issues with your operating system.
Did you add any new software or hardware to the computer?
Try scanning with a 300 DPI and saving it as a JPEG, to see if you have the same results.
Try scanning from Paint to see if you get the same error.
What size are you scanning? (DPI)
How are you saving the scan? (PDF, JPEG)
I believe that the error might be a issue with your video card drivers. Update the drivers to see if that will help.
Update the JavaScript and DirectX on the computer.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, did everything have a green check mark, any error messages)
What applications have you tried to scan from?
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Printing a PDF document from a network printer hosted on Windows Print Server

Hi
We have a use case where a XFA form needs to be merged with the XML file and later be printed on a printer hosted on Windows Print Server.
While I know the first part of merging the template with the data file, I am stuggling to get my document printed.
Here are the options that I have already tried -
1) Used the generatePrintedOutput to render a flat PDF and convert it into a PS format.
2) The output of the above service was input to the "sendToPrinter" service with following configuration settings
    Input document     : <Document variable referencing to the output of the GeneratePrintedOutput service>
    Printer Protocol     : DirectIP
    Server URI            : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>     NOTE: The Print Server is hosted on a different domain & is a Windows Server
    Printer Name        : \\ <IP address of the Print Server>\<name of the printer>
Some more information about our LC servers -
OS -> Unix
Application Server -> JBoss
When I used these settings and invoked the process, I got the following exception -
2011-03-07 11:13:39,047 ERROR [com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException] ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,067 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,069 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
2011-03-07 11:13:39,079 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException message:com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: ALC-OUT-001-403: Could not connect to the DirectIP Server: \\<IP Address of the Printer Server>. while invoking service OutputService and operation sendToPrinter and no fault routes were found to be configured.
Therefore I tried to check if I am able to Ping the Printer Server from my Livecycle Server and found that the ping was successful.
Next - I changed the Printer Protocol from DirectIP to SharedPrinter keeping the rest of the settings same. In this case - when I invoke the process, it did not throw any error , but it did not print any document as well.
Any suggestion where I have gone wrong? Pls let me know if you would need more information to help me resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Priyank

Well I found the answer......
I had to do the two steps below -
1) Go to Admin UI, "Trust Store Management -> User & Password Credentials" and add a profile for my Printer server with login ID and password which can access the printer.
So in the "User & Password Crendentails" page, I click on "add" and fill the following values
Profile : \\ <IP address of the print server> ....... (It is important that you write the name correctly..for example " \\10.10.234.212"
USername : <user id who has access to the printer>
Password : <password for that user Id>
2) In the sendToPrinter service, I used CIFS as the protocol and I have the proper Server URI as below
\\10.10.234.212\<printername>
And it worked ! .....

How can we print using the windows printer dialog window?

Hi,
We recently got new printers and a printer setup on our server that are set to print in greyscale as a default. In the past the printers defaulted to printing in color. When I create VI's and reports I have used to set "Print on completion" or the print option from the Report Generation Toolkit, and I have received my prints in color. After changing the printer drivers on the server any printing method I used to do from LabVIEW will always produce greyscale prints. These prints are fine for everyday use, however we need color prints when the documents are for customers or for other official use.
If I could only send documents/VI's to that process the user could override the "greyscale" setting and select "color" in the cases where we need a better looking print. Obviously the other option is to save the document/VI as a file and later print it from any windows software (Excel, Paint etc.).
Do anyone have any neat tricks for printing using the windows printer dialog?

You can change printer settings programmatically via a .NET assembly. You can also bring up the Print Dialog to change settings manually before printing.
More info on the .NET assembly for colour settings here:

Printer hp laserjet m1212nf mfp is not shared with the homegroup

Dear friends of HP
I'm using the excellent HP Printer, but everytime Iturn it on, it asks me to make a "SMART INSTALLATION" if not my PC doesn't beguin to print and the default printer stays in grey color in the Control Panel.
I'm using windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
I've contact a lot of times to the israeli HP support and they kindly "fix it" by uninstalling and re-installing my printer.
The next time I want to use the printer the same thing happends and asks me to make the Smart Installation.
Today I've got from Windows Troubleshot this error: "Printer HP Laser Jet Professional M1212nf MFP is not shared with the homegroup."
The printer driver installed is: "LJM 1130_M1210_MFP_Full_Solution"
Please help me to fix this troubleshot that is bothering me for more than half an year.
Yours sincerelly: uzi2003

Hi Uzi,
It seems as the HP Smart Install feature is trying to reinstall the printer upon each restart.
Try following this tool by selecting Disable to turn off Smart Install for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-129228-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Next reboot the PC and try printing again, as well check if any prompt appears or not.
If you still experience any printing issues, try following the HP Print and Scan Doctor below and check again:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-136595-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

Installed LaserJet M1212nf MFP on new computer. Prints but wont scan.

I just installed Laser Jet M1212nf MFP printer on a new computer. It installed itself and prints fine. It wouldnt scan so I downloaded the software from the HP website. It still doesnt scan. I don't know what to do next. My computer doesnt pick up the fact that there is a new scanner.

Solved my own problem. the name of the laserjet showed up as 1210 instead of 1212 on my computer. It still isnt working properly, but at least the new computer recognzes the printer. Onto the next problem..

Hello pbnair.
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your Laserjet 100 Color MFP is stating "Not Connected".

Printing a Configuration Report.Hi JoyD,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand the print job stays in the queue and won't print for hours later.
I will be happy to help you.
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again.
Turn the computer on, then the printer.
Try printing again.
I would setup a static IP for the printer to see if this will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
Print a configuration page from the printer for this information needed. Select Method one.
Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
