HP Laserjet utility starts and fails to go away after print job

I have an HP Laserjet 1300 hooked to an Airport base station. After the Leopard install (a default, Upgrade install from 10.4.10), I had to re-ADD that printer in the Print & FAX Preferences panel -- it wasn't simply remembered. That went fine, and printing works as expected.
EXCEPT: The HP Laserjet 1300 "utility" application (for managing the print queue) now activates with each print job -- not just when there is a problem such as "out of paper" as before. No problems are actually reported during or after the print job. And when the print job finishes, it doesn't go away. I have to manually Quit it.
I can't find any option to have the "utility" activate only when it has some problem to report (i.e., the way it worked under Tiger), or to make it go away automatically when all print jobs are finished. Any suggestions?
NOTE: When ADDing the printer in the Print & FAX utility, it did go looking for "new drivers", but didn't announce it found or installed anything new.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for:
Right click on the printer utility icon in the dock when you see it still sitting in there. Select "Auto Quit" from the pop up menu. Click on the utility to select it and open its queue window. Manually quit the utility.
After those steps it appears the utility now activates in the dock and then goes away after each print job that finishes normally.
Solved!

    I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
    I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.

    Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
    I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
    Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
    My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
    Any other suggestion?

  • HT4623 When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    When I try to launch the Itunes app on my Iphone, it starts and then quits right away.  What should I do?

    I would reinstall iOS 7.
    Open iTunes (11.1 or later) on your computer and plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
    Click on your iPhone device and from the Summary Tab, Back up using iCloud and/or iTunes.
    On your iPhone, open Settings/iCloud and turn off Find My Phone.
    In iTunes, click on the Restore button on the Summary tab next to Check for Updates.
    iTunes will completely wipe your phone and reinstall iOS 7.
    Setup your iPhone as new and restore from your back up.
    Check to see if the iTunes app is functioning correctly and not closing on you.
    I did this last night when setting Limit Ad Tracking kept closing Settings and taking me back to the Home screen. After reinstalling iOS 7, the issue went away.

  • Ipad mini itunes download starts and fails

    Hi,
    We just got an Ipad mini for christmas. Everything was working fine until we wanted to sync the ipad with itunes on our pc.
    The applications and photos  are synchronizing properly. However, the music and video are not.
    I search the web and the community and there are few thread talking about it but nothing works.
    I have install itunes 11 and the same problem occurs.I have also enough space on my ipad to store all my music. This works well with my itouch.
    I also notice something else. On my ipad, i can go download from the itunes apps what we proviously bought. When i click to redownload, the download starts
    and when it reachs 100%, i get that an error occured and to try to donwload again.
    Can anyone help us?

    Hi all,
    I found the problem. I had an idea to check if there is an application on the app store to view the ipad mini logs. I search "log system" and installed the application System Console, which is free.
    I tried again to download stuff from itunes and check the logs. I had the following error:
    2013-01-24 01:58:11 +0000 itunesstored SELECT item.ROWID FROM item JOIN item_stats USING (item_pid) WHERE (item_stats.download_identifier = ?) could unexpectedly not be stepped after 0: 11/database disk image is malformed
    I searched on the web about this problem and it did not provided me answers. Most of them were talking about their application having a database disk image malformed. I though it could be the itunes application itself that could be the problem.
    I tried a reset all settings and data from the ipad mini and reconfigured it. It worked properly.
    I hope this help somebody else.
    Cheers!

  • I just upgraded and now can't cancel a print job.

    The icon to delete is not there anymore. It was so easy to cancel. I'm trying to print a photo and it wanted to print on paper. That mistake will waste a lot of ink, so I want to cancel the job, but can't. Of course, I could unplug my printer, but obviously I don't want to have to do that every time I want to cancel a job. Help!

    No it's not, that's the reason you should click the x if you want to cancel a print job. If is has already started, pausing it will pause a partially finished job. Subsequently canceling it may cause corrupted print output or a communications error the printer ought to handle.
    If there is nothing in the print queue then the job has already been sent to the printer and your Mac is finished with it. In that case, use the printer's front panel control to cancel the job.

  • L7680 Ejects Blank Page before and after print job

    My L7680 recently started to eject a blank page before and after a print job; seperator page option is NOT selected.  I tried all the suggested trouble shooting points in the HELP section but none have solved the issue.

    The setup button on the printer had a choice to return to all factory defaults - that solved the problem but it does take yoiu back to starting again to set other choices you may have made since starting toi use the devise.

  • HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw going cool down mood after printing every pages.

    I have bought Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw before only 3days. From the very begining It says printing.... cooldown mood, and take a long paus. This issue occures after printing each page. I am using HP Toners. And my directly connected with wall socket(Electric).  Please help me. It is urgent for me. Thanks in advance.

    Afternoon , I found some information about the cool-down mode on your Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw. The product is too hot to continue printing at normal speed.
    The product will pause longer between printed pages until it cools down.
    Overheating occurs when the product lacks air ventilation or when it prints continuously for a long period of time. To prevent overheating, place the product in a well-ventilated area, and divide very large print jobs into smaller print jobs.Other than using it in a well ventilated room, you could see if there are any firmware updates available. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro. If the issue continues, I would Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number. You can view all other ways of contacting HP from their list of Support Options.  Thanks, 

  • Windows Installer starts (and fails) upon Vista starting - Acrobat 7.0.9

    Hello all,
    For some reason, the past couple of days, upon starting Vista Ultimate (no SP1
    yet) something is causing Windows Installer to fire up and try to install Acrobat
    7.0.9 - which of course was installed/updated months ago.
    This coincided with updating Reader to the newest version. Now Reader is updated
    and works, but Acrobat Pro doesn't work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Tim

    Yeah AA7 worked perfectly on Vista until the AR8 update.
    I mostly love Adobe products, and use them all every day (Creative Suite CS2)
    etc.... but honestly this is the very same sort of scenario that baffles me about
    Adobe:
    Installing Premiere Elements 4 completely breaks Bridge, and Adobe's own knowledge
    base repair is utterly useless. I understand that CS2 and AA7 are not certified
    in Vista - but there is absolutely NO excuse for one Adobe product to completely
    break one of their own products, and then compound that by 1. Knowing about it,
    and 2. Not offering a feasible solution (other than to spend thousands upgrading
    your Adobe products.)
    I guess the fact that updating free AR8 has broken their own $350 AA7 is typical
    and expected. Shameful.

  • IChat starts and then quits right away...

    The title pretty much says it all....
    I start iChat/Tiger up and and I see the iChat window briefly (say, 2 seconds or so) and then the application disappears. It does not give an error message and it's process is most definitely dead when I check Activity Monitor. I should note that the iChat previously worked without any problems.
    Interestingly enough, it looks like it does successfully log into AIM, because after trying to start the app 10 or so times, I got an AIM message saying that I've attempted to login too many times in too short a period of time.
    Any idea what's going on? The only event I can correlate is the fact that I downloaded the newest Tiger security update this past Monday...I believe that is the only change to my computer since it was last working.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Ralph,
    I have the same exact problem on two brand new macs, a mac mini and an ibook g4. I tried reinstalling ichat, which made it worse; my buddy list would no longer open, instead, the little black arrow appeared under the ichat logo, and then disappeared after a few seconds. I then copied and pasted that command into the Terminal app, and here's what I got:

  • HT3669 Why must I Cycle Printer Power and RECONNECT the USB Cable between Print Jobs? [ hp LJ 3030 PCL 4/5 ]

    Until recently, I was able to Print across my LAN.  Now I can only print (1) job at a time through the USB interface on my MacBook Air w/ OS X 10.8.4
    I don't do a LOT of printing, so it could have started in a prior update.

    USB interface? Are you using one of those USB to parallel adapter cables?
    They don't allow two-way comm - which is how the printer tells the computer "done with this page."
    You can try this special USB driver that deals with this problem:
    http://buymelunch.org/printing/usbtb/
    Any reason you stopped using network printing?

  • Email trouble - can't delete messages and won't go away after download

    I hope someone can help me. Since yesterday, I have been receiving multiple copies of messages. Now I think I know the source of the problem, but do not know to fix it.
    For background, I download my messages to my computer using Thunderbird. Up until recently, no problems with that - when I download, the messages are deleted from the server.
    Well, today, it seems that the messages are not being deleted once I download them. To make matters worse, I am unable to delete the messages in the webmail interface! It gives me an error message "Warning We were unable to perform your request. Please try again." I have treid again, and again, and again, all to no avial. This is becoming a real problem as the messages are building up in the server - I get a lot of email.
    Please, can anyone help me? Thanks!

    HI... it sounds like the email server is having issues. I would call tech support to have them create a ticket for it to be investigated.

  • [SOLVED][systemd 210] systemd-backlight@.service gets loaded and fails

    Hello,
    I just updated to 210 and rebooted as soon as possible as advised. The first thing I noticed is the red [Failed] message during startup. After looking at systemctl I noticed that systemd-backlight@backlight:eeepc-wmi.service fails. There are 3 things wrong with this 1) I don't have a backlight this is on a desktop 2) It's not an eeePC 3) I never had any failed services before the update. I tried to disable this service, but the service still tries to start and fails on every boot. I read about systemd-backlight here: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/sys … rvice.html but it doesn't really help much to explain why it tries to load this service in the firstplace. I have not tried masking it, but this would not fix the underlying problem anyway.
    The systemctl status doesn't provide any usful information.

  • HP Laserjet M1217nfw Airprint and iPad2 - not printing?

    HP Laserjet M1217nfw Airprint and iPad2
    I have had this printer and this ipad and also an iPhone 4s for several years and they worked well together. About six months ago the HP bricked itself overnight with some kind of firmware update that was sent automatically by HP. I tried to fix it, gave up for a while since we had another printer, then last week finally reinstalled the printer software from scratch and got the printer to work again.
    It works wirelessly with our three computers (as it always did) but I have not been able to get my ipad and iPhone to reconnect with it as before. When I want to print from email or a web page, it does not see the printer at all. I have tried turning the wifi off and on, and also restarting, but no joy.
    Here's the weird thing: I have two coupon printing apps on the ipad and the iPhone and they resumed printing to the HP right away. The apps see the printer just fine.
    If nothing worked it would make more sense. I just can't figure out why the native iOS system doesn't see the printer yet the apps do.

    Just an update
    I did the firmware update still no luck.
    I can not figure out how to tell the printer what the SSID address it should be looking for .  I can not ping the printers IP address since it is not on the network and the HP software does not seem to let me direct the printer to my SSID
    It can not really be this hard - can it???  I am using an airport express as my wireless router.
