Hp LaserJet P3015 randomly miss prints random letters.

Hi
I wonk as a It technician in a College environment. We have a computer lab with 40 Dell OptiPlex 390's connected via a local area network to a Hp Laser Jet P3015. The students have to use a water mark during exams as a way to identify on witch computers they wrote the exam. Now on random occasions Radom alphabetical characters are being miss printed for example all the "I's" or "T's" in the document won't simply print. To get the machine to print correctly I have to reboot the pc and printer and this can cause a lot of trouble during the exams. I have tried using different drivers (UPD PCL 6 and UPD PLC 5) but the miss prints still occur. Microsoft office 2010 and 2007 was running parallel on the computers, but I uninstalled 2010 due to the fact that our text books for 2010 will only be available next year. Please can anybody assist me.

The majority of the tools in the PCL Paraphernalia application generate print jobs; the Target menu allows the user to select the target (network-connected) printer, or to direct the output instead to a file.
However, four of the tools do not interact directly with a printer, and the Target menu is irrelevant for these tools; the PRN File Analyse tool is one of these, and with this tool, the file to be analysed is selected via the Open Print File ... button in the dialogue of that tool.
The Downloads page of the website provides a link to a Windows .chm Help file, which describes the application and each tool.
The TrueType Courier New display font is usually mapped to an equivalent printer-resident scalable Courier font on most LaserJet (and clone) printers - I don't have access to a LaserJet P3015, so I don't know for sure which printer-resident fonts are available - you could find out by printing out a PCL Typeface (Font) List from the printer.
Your captured mytest.prn file:
Shows that a font selection sequence for the printer-resident Courier font is present, but also downloads 11 different PCL soft fonts - 10 of these are in resolution-specified bitmap font format, the other one is in PCL Encapsulated TrueType (PCLETTO) format - without a lot of additional checking, I don't know which font is used for which bits of text in your print document.
Prints (2 pages), without any apparent problem, on my local LaserJet 1320n printer - there do not appear to be any missing characters, so either you have captured a sample which does not exhibit the fault, or the problem is within your own printer, not the driver-generated print stream.
I can't post the analysis output here, as this (Consumer) forum does not provide file upload facilities; the equivalent Business forum (see http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-and-Digital-Imaging/ct-p/bsc-412 ), which is probably more relevant to your printer model and configuration, does provide this feature.

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7. When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3. The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
It works alright on Windows XP.

Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver. Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.

HP Laserjet Pro 200 printing random rectangles in the middle of images

My HP Laserjet Pro 200 color printer is printing random rectangles in the middle of certain images. It doesn't do it all the time, usually it's with any images that are grey, blue, green or brown. I installed brand new HP compatable cartridges and the issue is still happening. I've shut down the printer and restarted it, I've ran the test page and it comes out perfect! Please help.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally bottom half or top half

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally. Bottom half or top half is missing . I have an Officejet Pro 750 and run Windows 7, 64 bit. For a while if I turned off normal mode and selected best, it was Ok. Now it doesn't matter which mode I use,I have done all the tests and cleaning required but no joy...Help

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

P3015 Missing Print Jobs

I have a laserjet P3015 that randomly stops printing documents from client machines. The only way to resume printing is to log into the printer sever and send a test page. This allows all clients to resume printing. Unfortunatey problem returns some time later. Has any one seen this issue? Does anyone have a solution?
More information:
Clients are a mix of winXP Pro, Win7 Ent x86, Win7 Ent x64
Problem only happening with P3015 (There are several printers on these print servers)
Seeing the issue on two different print servers - one is version 2008 and the others is version 2003
Sending a test page from the client computers does not allow others to print
Firmware was updated today (11/14) - problem still exists.
Driver is UPD PCL6 (v5.4) on the 2008 server and UPD PCL 6 (v5.3) for the 2003 server
Any help is appreciated.

There is a setting in the iRC3200 called Spooler. Using the Remote UI, it is located under Additional Functions > Custom Settings > Network Settings > Use Spooler. Turn this on and restart the machine - you have to for the setting change to take affect. This should help for both of your issues.

Hp LaserJet P3015 printer "waiting for printer to become available" message

Hello All,
I have searched through many message boards about this issue (some steaming back to as far as 2009) and I have yet to find a solution that has worked for me.
Background of situation:
In my office we have a dozen iMacs and Networked hp LaserJet P3015 printers. Most work perfectly fine with out issue. We are currently running 10.8.4 OS. There are a few issues that seem to be unique to users or types of iMacs. 1) Three brand new iMacs (the skinny ones that come without the CD drives) where showing a message prompting for the "printer operator group". I have that setting turned off but reguardless I added the user accounts to the "printer operator group" as well as the "printer admin group". After I did that the users started to recieve the message "waiting for printer to become avaible". When this message appears it never printers (I left it for a 20 minute period to no avail). I have tried a whole host of fixes with short term success but the issue keeps reoccuring. Here is a list of fixes I have tried:
What I have tried
1) I plugged the iMac directly into the printer via USB cable to install the drivers locally
2) I added the user to the printer operator group and the printer admin group
3) I checked all settings on both the printer and computer
4) I have removed and re-added the printer several ways (from the network and directly via UBS cable)
5) I checked the Ethernet connection to the printer (all are fine) (also eliminated the need for it by directly plugging her in via USB cable)
6) I have "power" shut down the printer
7) I restarted the printer settings on the network to eliminate any lingering issues
8) Made sure the software is up to date (which according to some message boards is what the problem is)
9) I have replaced both the actual Computer and Printer (with another brand new iMac), while additionally creating a new user account to eliminate hardware and faulty user settings as the culprit, as well as plugged the printer directly into the computer and removed it from the network.
10) I prayed to the IT gods
Other Notes:
I did see a solution from a message board that said to delete all "hp_" files in system/library/extensions and then directly plug the printer into the computer to install the drivers that way (which he said worked) but the guys also said that if he ran software update then the issue would re-occur. This seems to be counter productive as I like to keep all software up to date
What I have noticed:
- The issue seems to affect the newer iMacs in my office more then the older machines despite everyone running the same OS version
Thank you all so much in adavanced for your time reading my post. The issue has been extremely frustrating for both me and the end users and I appreaciate any help that anyone can provide (even if its just pointing me in the direction of another message board)
- Chris

You have not mentioned it but based on some of the things that you have said, I would assume that the Mac's are bound to a domain. So, for one of these Mac's, if you logged on locally and then created a print queue to the network printer, do you get the same message?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Upgraded to Yosemite now print to HP Laserjet P3015 on the network

Have been using the office HP Laserjet P3015 with my MacBook running Mavericks with no issues.
As soon as I upgraded to Mavericks, cannot print:
First, I tried the existing printer configuration and got nothing as it showed the document stuck in the queue.
Next, tried deleting the printer to add again. The Mac does not see the printer on the network anymore. So I tried the IP address method of adding the printer and specifying the IP address of the printer and the exact printer model.
Here, the error message was "Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to connect to <IP address> due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer? I clicked Continue and the printer appeared on the printer list.
Again, when printing, the job gets stuck in the queue and says the job is "Printing - The printer is in use"
Note that before trying all of this, I tried resetting the printer system, rebooting, and then installing the latest HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.

My Photosmart D110 series printer prints random documents all on its own

I turned on the my Photosmart D110 series printer after being away for a few days and discovered that it was halfway through installing an update that I hadn't ordered. I quickly aborted this process, but not before the printer began relentlessly printing random documents from my files; as soon as I cancelled, it began printing another. The print queue is empty. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I downloaded and ran the HP Print Doctor, which says all is OK. I unplugged and unplugged some more. And it still does it. My operating system is XP 2002 (yes, I know, I know...). Do I need to throw in the towel and get a new printer?

missnan,
The printer will only print what the PC sends to it, so I would look more into your pc than the printer. What you might try to do is uninstall the printer and re-install, but keep in mind that the pc is sending those print jobs to the printer. Are you sure that the printer is printing files from your PC, this printer does have apps and it can be set up to print those on a daily basis.

JSlider randomly missing tick labels

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with JSliders. I have an application that has several JSliders throughout. They are vertical, min=100 and max=1000, with major ticks every 100, and minor ticks every 25, and the ticks and labels are painted.
I have noticed that out of say 10 such sliders in my application, perhaps one or two sliders are randomly missing some ticks. For example, the labels will read 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 900, 1000 (with the 800 just missing). The space for the text is there, but no text.
As I mentioned, this doesn't always occur. It occurs perhaps on one or two sliders out of 10 every time I start the application. So this would seem to me to be related to a threading issue.
Here is the constructor that creates the panel that has the JSlider in it:
 try{
 SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait( new Runnable(){ public void run(){
 // INIT GUI & CUSTOM INIT
 initComponents();
 depthJSlider.putClientProperty("JSlider.isFilled", Boolean.TRUE);
 catch(Exception e){ Util.handleExceptionNoRestart("Error building Log Table", e); }
Here is initComponents() which actually does the work:
 private void initComponents() {
 depthJSlider = new javax.swing.JSlider();
 depthJSlider.setMajorTickSpacing(100);
 depthJSlider.setMaximum(1000);
 depthJSlider.setMinimum(100);
 depthJSlider.setMinorTickSpacing(25);
 depthJSlider.setOrientation(javax.swing.JSlider.VERTICAL);
 depthJSlider.setPaintLabels(true);
 depthJSlider.setPaintTicks(true);
 depthJSlider.setSnapToTicks(true);
 depthJSlider.setToolTipText("<html>\nEvent Log Depth Slider \nThis slider allows you to specify the maximum number of visible\
events \nwhen the \"Refresh Log\" or \"Start Auto-refresh\" buttons are pressed.</html>");
 depthJSlider.setMaximumSize(null);
 depthJSlider.setMinimumSize(null);
 depthJSlider.setPreferredSize(null);
 gridBagConstraints = new java.awt.GridBagConstraints();
 gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;
 gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
 gridBagConstraints.fill = java.awt.GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL;
 gridBagConstraints.weighty = 1.0;
 gridBagConstraints.insets = new java.awt.Insets(5, 5, 5, 10);
 tableJPanel.add(depthJSlider, gridBagConstraints);
 }Does anyone have any ideas at all why some of the labels might be missing?
(Please drop a line to [email protected] if you have any thoughts!)
Sincerely,
Ian

Billing Documents Printed Randomly

Dear All,
We have a strange issue, where through Billing Background job -Billing Documents are printed randomly e.g. Billing documents will be Printed at Printer in this sequence--- Billing Document - 1,2,3,6,7,4,8,9,5 etc etc...
How to fix this.
Any help/clue on the same would be appreciated.
Regards,
Vikas

The sorting from the SAP side is driven by the Sort field in RSNAST00 program.
If you do not use any sorting criteria, then it is possible that the print queue is getting messed up outside of SAP, e.g. on the print server. Similar effect sometimes happen when, for example, several users are trying to send multiple documents to the same Windows printer.
Also take a look at how the spool requests are being created. If they are created in correct order, then the problem is definitely not in SAP. To track this, you might want temporarily uncheck "Delete after output" checkbox in the Communication method setting for your output.
And take a look at the note 111813.

Using the paste options randomly misses out text, don't use it and use the 'Paste Special...' option instead (MS Outlook)

Also there seems to be no obvious way to report Office bugs. This is leaving little room for improvement. Not sure if there has been any planning on this front???
For example, [MS Outlook] using the paste options randomly misses out text, (don't use it and use the 'Paste Special...' option instead). But how do I communicate this to the Office team without knowing at least one of the team personally (which I
don't)???

Hi,
Do you have this issue when pasting in other programs?
If you are pasting something into Outlook, some formats and images may get lost, especially when you choose the Paste Options as Keep Text Only.
Once you have this issue again, please try with "Keep Source Formatting". This may keep the Sour Formatting and you may not get the text lost.
If you have any feedback when using our products, I suggest you press Ctrl + Alt + 7 or Ctrl + Alt + 8 to submit it. Microsoft will always listen to users' voice and make the products better and easier to use.

Random Missing/Modified Links

For the past couple of days I have been experiencing random missing/modified links showing up in preflight.
I am using CS4 on Windows 7... all of the graphics are stored on a shared network, but no one was using them when the issues started.
When I see the missing/modified links error, I relink them and go back to editing the document... within 15-20 min they are back. Until this afternoon, I go to relink them... and they fix themselves *scratches head*
Any ideas what could cause this type of behavior?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Possibly a time synch problem.
