HP Office Jet 4630 Printer seems to be installed correctly but doesn't print

I have Windows Vista on my laptop and am trying to install a new HP OJ 4630 e-all-in-one wireless printer. Drivers installed completely. I can see the printer just fine on my network. I can scan from printer to laptop. But I cannot print from this laptop. A print error message will pop up saying that the software cannot see the printer. Is the printer installed?
Using the HP Print and Scan Doctor, a test page will not print, but an internal page will. There seems to be some sort of port config error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.

My print page set up is correct, but when I print, it prints extremely tiny. I can't fix it. Please help.

I print from Firefox all of the time. Last week, when I hit file print, the documents turn out very tiny and a two page item print 15 pages or more. Very little on each page. I have the page set up as I always have .2 for left, right, top and bottom. I really need to have this fixed. What do I need to do.

You should download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller and
remove the flash player completely. Then reinstall the flash
player.

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

Acrobat 9 trial in WIN 7 loaded fine, but doesn't print.

09.25.10
I just loaded Acrobat 9 trial in WIN 7 and it loaded fine, but doesn't print.
When I go to print a PDF, after entering the file name, an Acrobat software setup box asks for the serial # or "continue to use product on a trial basis".
I select the continue option, click "next" the box disappears - then nothing happens. This repeats each time I try and print, even after a reboot.
Having selected Acrobat as the default printer did not change anything. Help! Dave

You may have to update Acrobat. I am not sure that AA9.0 works correctly with Win 7.

Artwork doesn't print when printing cd insert, it shows on the preview but doesn't print?

Hi, after downloading the latest version of Itunes, the artwork no longer prints on the cd insert? It shows on the preview, but doesn't print on the insert? It worked fine before and the printer is working fine, it prints color photos and artwork, no problem?

Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

Office jet Pro 8600, Multiple Printers on same nenwork need to change printer name ID

How do I Change the default Printer ID /name on a Office Jet Pro 8600 AI1 using OS x 10.8 on a home network . To prevent other computers from accessing multiple 8600's set as delivered, on the same network?

Hi @JimAckroyd

I have a hp office jet 6600. It will not wake up to receive e-print.

I just bought a office Jett 6600. It will only recieve E-print when it is awake. The print will not wake up to receive eprint. Not much good if i am traveling. <script id="JSScriptForDynamicControls" type="text/javascript" src="https://www.billeo.com/page/js/amex/insitedominspector.js"></script>

I would make sure printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. I would also make sure that printer had latest firmware update.

My Office Jet Pro L7590 has started to appear to skip lines when printing.

My printer seems to partially print lines, in some cases only the bottom half of letters is appearing on my printouts. I have cleaned the print heads and trired a couple of new cartidges but still the probelm persists. This is only happening to the black text. The Alignment report looks good and so does the Self Test Report but even on the Self Test Report some of the test is partially printed yet the reslults of the test look good.
I'm considering replacing the print heads but am not convinved that this will resolve the issue.

Make sure you have only one securtity system on your PC (for example if you have an old version of McAfee that you just left on there and added another system), uninstal the old, unused security system.
Go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Uninstall. Run it.
Restart your PC.
Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

7310 networked, connected, but doesn't print

I have had this Officejet 7310 for a few years now, and doesn't usually give me problems. i have it hooked up over a wired network, and the computer recognizes the connection. I can see the printer status through the browser window (192.168.1.5), and have reinstalled the software twice. After reinstalling it the first time, I got it to print but the next morning it wasn't working again.
On the printer itself, when I try to get the Instant Share settings, it says "Hp Instant Share is not set up or a network is not available." The Instant Share has been doing this for a few months, and I haven't been able to us ethe "Scan to" feature for a long time, but I can just use the HP Director on the computer na dget it to print, scan, access the memory card, whatever. now it seems that it is not getting the signal. I have items inthe queue, but they won't print. Yesterday, it was giving me errors, like "Failed to connect to printer" and stuff, but i can't get it to do it now.
I tried the Diagnostic Tool , adn that didn't work, I reset the router, that didn't work. I'm running out of ideas.
I'm running on XP, but I think it's printer issues, not computer issues.

OK, I think it IS a computer problem. Your computer is looking for your printer by its IP address. A new router (usually) issues completely different IP addresses, so your computer is probably having a hard time finding it.
Let's start by deleting the printer in Control Panel > Printers. Then re-add the printer in this manner:
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

The problem is not with your printer but with CUPS. I had the same problem with an upgrade that was done. It worked before but did not work after the upgrade in CUPS. I guess others are having problems as well as you can see in the link posted.

HP laserjet 100 color MFP M175a printer driver to be installed evry time when the printer is made on

Hello,
I am having the above mentioned printer. The problem with this printer is every time when I switch-on the printer its driver has to be installed then only I can start printing. The following is my PC configuration:
MB: ConRoe865GV chipset, CPU: PIV, OS: XP-SP3.
Could you tell me what can the problem.
Also if by mistake the paper in the paper-tray gets finished the printer takes quite a long time to detect that new paper bunch is there in printer. Is there a way to minimise this paper checking process.
Kindly awaiting your fast reply

Hi @RajBob ,
I see that you are experiencing a issue with the printer installing every time you turn it on, then you are able to print again. Also when the paper runs out, it takes a long time to detect the paper in the tray again. I would like to help you out today.
The printer has a Smart Install built into the firmware. Disable the Smart Install Feature to see if that will resolve the issue of the computer detecting the printer every time it is turned on.
Go to Setup, Service Menu, Smart Install and turn it off please.
If you are not able to print after turning the printer back on again, 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?
For the paper not being detected right away, make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and try to keep the tray filled at all times, but not over filled.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great weekend!

MP560 on a Mac OSX networked with Windows 7, recognizes network but doesn't print text

I have a Canon Pixma MP560 connected to a MacBook Pro with OS 10.9.5 which is wire-networked through a Time Warner Arris TG862 modem to a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop and a Lenovo desktop, both of which have Windows 7. The printer is USB cable connected to the MacBook, and works fine. On the Mac, at System Preferences>>Sharing, Printer Sharing is selected, the MP560 highlighted, and at Users>>"Everyone Can Print"; and at System Preferences>>Printers & Scanners, "Share this printer on the network" is selected. On the Lenovo and Dell, I installed Bonjour, and both can "see" the MP560, and at File>Print on both, the printer is recognized and activated. BUT all it does is shoot out a blank sheet of paper; the text is not printed. Evidently there is something I have not done, some box I have not checked off. I will appreciate any ideas! Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Some days after posting here, I asked this question at another Canon website, and learned that in circumstances similar to mine described here, Canon recommends that the MP560 "be connected to your Windows computer then shared to your Macintosh", rather than, as in my case, having the MP560 connected to the Mac and then shared with the Windows computers.
