HP Laserjet pro p1102 kills spooler when printing PDF documents

I have a HP laserjet pro p1102 running on Win7 63x PC.
When I print PDF documents nothing happens on the printer side.
Instead the spooler is killed.
When checking the spool file I can see that the documents have been spooled to the printer.
New driver install done, aswell as firmware upgrade.
Acrobar pro 11.0.07.
Please assist.

Hi @UFS-HYRAX,
I see by your post that when printing a PDF the Print Spooler Crashes. I can help you.
Do you have the same results when printing something else, other then a PDF?
Clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
Run the Adobe Updates, the latest version is 11.0.09.
Print the PDF file as an "image". From the Adobe print screen, select the button "Advanced", on that screen you see the box for "print as image". Click on that check it. This should resolve the issue.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251 won't print PDF

I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 that will not print PDFs. The documents get stuck in the print queue and I have to delete them and restart the printer. I have reinstalled the driver and updates and reinstalled Adobe Reader and updates. Called HP and they told me to contact ADobe, but I can't find a number.

I posted this on another discussion. But here it is again.
One of the things I have experienced in the past with printing PDFs is that it would hang in the print queue. There is a manual method of deleting the print documents in the print queue. But the issue is printing PDF documents that are scanned in and has maybe highlighted text or handwritten notes on the PDF. The printer driver can render it correctly if printing the PDF as a text document. What you have to do is change it so that it prints as a PDF image instead.
To print as an image, open the PDF then click File then click Print. Click the Advanced button on the following window that pops up and select the check box "Print as image".
Now to clear your print queue will be key prior to doing this if the print job is hung in the print queue.
Here is a Microsoft KB Article that explains how to do this. I think it has an available Microsoft Fixit tool you can use as well.

Printer Error Messages When Printing PDF Documents

I keep getting the following error messages when I try to pring a PDF document. This application has failed to start because LXBBGF.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this. The other error message is: Cannot load library LXBBPRP.DLL using default error 126. I spent over and hour with a Lexmark Tech. who unsistalled my Lexmark X75 printer and he did a register edit to make sure my register was cleared of all the old Lexmark entries. He then reistalled the printer and the drivers, but the error message still pops up when trying to print a PDF Document. He checked out the printer and it will print and scan all other types of documents with no error messages. He also had me unistall Acrobat Reader 11.0 and reinstall it. I also did a sytem restore but none of the remedies I have tried so far has fixed the error messages issues. I would like to get this problem resolved as soon as possible because I need to print my travel documents asap. This forum is great but can someone please let me know how to get in touch with Adobe Technical Support. I need their toll free phone number and email address?

Hi Pat,
When I first encountered the PDF printing problem I went to the Adobe Web Site and downloaded the most current version of Adobe Reader which was the 11.0.6 version and the Lexmark Technician uninstalled the old driver and installed the updated version of the printer's driver. But this did not resolve the PDF printing problem. Both before and after the PDF printing problem surfaced I was able to print all other document formats except PDF documents.
It seems very strange to me that once I uninstalled the Adobe Reader 11.0.6 and reinstalled my old version of Adobe Reader 9.3.3 that all of sudden I was able to print all of my other PDF documents. But that's what happened and Adobe still insists that it was a printer issue. I did a little research and this is not the first time Adobe has had compatibility/configuration issues with Lexmark printers and they have not resolved these issues.
I know I am taking a chance by using an unsupported unsecure version of Adobe Reader, but at this time I don't have any other option. Unless Adobe develops a patch/workaround solution. Which I hoping they will do, but I don't think this is going to happen soon because this issue is not a high priority as it only effects a small portion of their customer base.
Thanks For Your Input/Comments

Output is reduced in size when printing PDF documents with Preview

When I print a PDF file with Preview the printed output seems to be about 20% smaller than actual. If I print the same file with Adobe Reader for Mac the output is normal and not reduced. Other file types do not seem to have the same issue. I don't recall having this problem before I upgraded to Leopard. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,
If you have a rummage through Preview's Preferences and look at the scale settings in the 'PDF' tab, do you have it set to respect the 100% scale factor of the PDF? This can sometimes affect the scaling when the PDF was formated for a different paper size from the one you're trying to print it on. If everything there seems to be ok, try comparing the two different expanded print diaogs which you receive in Preview and Adobe Reader, looking at things like scaling and paper-size again.

Preview whites out margins when printing PDF document to HP 2610

I am attempting to print a PDF document from Preview to my HP 2610 printer.
I am finding that there appears to be a "default margin" in which no text may be printed.
Let's say I have the word "apple" relatively near the left edge of a paper - what I see on the print-out is "pple".
The document looks fine in preview; however in the print dialogue box I can see that the miniature image has the image clipped. If I click "shrink to fit page" then the document is collapsed into the area within the margin.
I don't want a margin - I want the document printed as-is. How does one fix this in preview? I am guessing that if I ponied up the money for adobe acrobat this would not be a problem.
-Russ

See if this helps...
Type a percentage in the Scale box. (If you want to enlarge the printout, type a value
greater than 100. To reduce the printout, type a value less than 100. Then, be sure to Tab out of the Scale field after you enter the new value, or it will not stick.

How much inrush current on HP LaserJet Pro P1102 Printer ?

I have an HP LaserJet Pro P1102 Printer. I want to connect it with the UPS (or maybe power generator). To calculate the rated power of UPS, I would like to know how much the inrush current of this printer model.

Hi gade1234,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you would like to know the specifications of the printer's power.
I can provide you with the specifications of the printer.
Here are the specifications of the Laserjet P1102.

Hp laserjet pro 200 My won't print more than 1 file at a time

My hp laserjet pro 200 m251 won't print more than 1 file at a time. Any ideas?

Hi @nocastaway,
I see by your post that you can't print multiple copies. I can help you with this.
From the application your printing from, go to File, Print, Number of copies select 2. Uncheck Collate. You can now change the number of copies. Collate should now stay unchecked.
Try printing the multiple page document again.
You might have to disable all the startup items, to see if there is another program causing this issue.
How to use MSCONFIG. Click on the Startup tab and disable all.
Test the printer.
Then go back in and enable all from the Startup tab.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What applications have you tried?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

HP Laserjet Pro 200 ColorMFP m276nw stopped printing

I installed my HP Laserjet Pro 200 Color MFP m276nw printer a couple of months ago and set it up for network printing. It has been working perfectly for everyone in my house until now. Everytime I try to print, nothing happens. Others in my household who are on the network can print. When I go to the Print Queue dialogue box, I get the message: "Printing--the printer is not responding." If I go into the Printers and Faxes application in System Preferences, it shows this printer as Idle. I have tried restarting my laptop (Macbook Air), turned the printer off and on, turned Wi-fi off and on, turned Bluetooth off and on, even tried connecting to the printer via cable. What else can I do?
This question was solved.

Hi Robvale,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
From what you have described it sounds as though the print job are not leaving the print queue. I have included the document 'Can't Print? Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue'. Please select you version of Mac, and follow through the steps listed.
If you are still having issues after this, please provide me with the version of Mac OS X you are running. I have included the document 'Finding your OS X version and build information', if you need it.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw print in black and white

Hello,
I have a Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw printer that is contected to a network so that multiple users can print from it. I want to be able to restrict it so that they can only print in black and white and double sided. Is this possible? and if so could you please tell me how?
I am not able to restrict them on a print by print basis, hence I am looking for a solution where I only have to make the change once.
Thanks for your help!

I understand you want to change a setting one time so that no matter who is sending the printer a print job it prints in gray scale. Actually I found two ways to do it. Here is the basic way to do it as described on page 16 of the User Guide. Also, you could set up this printer to receive emails (ePrint) in gray scale only. I just did a test after making changes in my ePrint settings at www.eprintcenter.com and no color was printed on a regular document containing color. I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know. I will be happy to explain greater detail.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

[SOLVED] HP laserjet pro p1102 Users help me with CUPS!

So, I've installed every possible thing for printer, started cups in browser, added my printer etc.
But under administration tab, where I need to enter a connection with provided examples, I get lost completely:
Examples:
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100
I have no idea what do I set the connection to.
I've tried http://127.0.0.1:631/ipp/ http://myhostname:631/ipp/ ipp://127.0.0.1/ipp/ ipp://myhostname/ipp/
all variants give me "The printer URI is incorrect or no longer exists" or "unable to blablabla"
How do I make this thing work?

Finally got it working.
First you need to run "hp-setup" or "hp-plugin" utility from hplip package. This utility ("hp-setup") downloads the needed proprietary driver for Laserjet Pro p1102, extracts it and installs, then it installs printer and does all the other necessary stuff ("hp-plugin" just downloads, extracts and installs the driver). Then you can finally add a printer via CUPS.
That is it. Now you're ready to print.
The common error that may occur while downloading the proprietary driver with "hp-setup" or "hp-plugin" is extraction stage. It is all due to python3, python 2.7 bindings in the system. "hp-setup"|"hp-plugin" use python 2.7 while all modern arch systems are binded to use python3. To fix this simply "ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python".
Don't forget to put "cupsd" into your daemons array and "lp" to your modules in rc.conf.
I also didn't blacklist "usblp", just in case.
And final note, don't forget to add "yourself" to sys group with:
# usermod -g sys yourusername
