HP Officejet Pro 8100 - Not Printing

New HP Officejet Pro 8100 - driver installed for wireless network printing.
Printed Test Results - "No Problems Found....successful setup of your wireless printer".
However, when I try to print I can see the request in the print screen, but it says "Print file was not accepted". This is happening from the computer the driver was installed on (Mac OS X Ver 10.8.4.
When I try from another iOS device, I can see the printer, and can request the print job, It says its sending to the printer, but the job never shows up in the print que and doesn't print.
Help!!

What router? Have you restarted it?

HP officejet pro 8100 not printing documents when asked, and slow to respond.

My Officejet Pro 8100 has allways been used wireless. It allways had a lag when asked to print and producing the document. Often the unable to connect to printer message comes up, then shortly latter it started to print.
We have now switched to Vergin Media ISP. The printere was set up to the new network as before no problem. The router is lacated downstairs by by our TV where the cable enters the house. Our 2 pc's are now wireless due to this (one windows XP and one Windows 7). Then there's Ipads etc.
Conectivity is not a problem the pcs are located in our study with the printer upstairs. My Ipad works in the Garden so theres plenty of range. All devices are on the same conection.
The problem with slow printing is now worse. Ask to print and often nothing happens. Switch printer off/on and it may print the last comand of not. It may accept the next command to print or not. Indescrimnently it may print 'misssed prints' at any time.
Basically it cannot be relied on to print when asked to, really frustrating!! The printers wireless indicator is lit its conected to the network. Any ideas as this is a real pain. Remote printing from a phone is a no go as it probably wont happen.
We need to print and it happen.

Hello @Ants9,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the slow printing issue that you're experiencing with your networked HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter from your Windows computers and other devices. I understand that this issue began with your original router and now is occuring with your new network. I am going to run you through some troubleshooting steps below to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Run Print and Scan Doctor:
To verify that your printer is properly detected on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers I would like you to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computers and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, connection, or software conflict be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
Please click here to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Please download this Tool on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers.
Once the Tool has completed, please test printing again. Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Powercycle Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few minutes the internet connection will return. Please check on your Windows computers and ensure that you're able to browse to websites before continuing. Once the network is up and running again please test printing to check the printing speeds.
Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Update Firmware:
There is chance that corrupted programming in your printer could be causing the slow printing issue. Therefore, I am going to have you update the Firmware Version on your printer.
Please click here to download the latest programming on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Follow any onscreen instructions to send the Firmware Update to the printer. This update can be run from either the Windows XP or Windows 7 computers.
Please test printing again to verify if everything is now working as it should be.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

Hi Melatina66,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable? If yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
Thank you.

OfficeJet Pro L7680 not printing the colour red: it comes out as brown

Running Windows XP. OfficeJet Pro L7680. Using HP inks + quality paper.
Model number CB038a
The colour red is printed as a distinct brown. All other colours/shades/tints/alignments etc are absolutely fine.
Have done the obvious: changed cartridges for brand new ones.
Cleaned printheads
Dignostic page: suggests all ok (good printhead health)
The actual quality of print is good in all respects on the test patterns other than the colour red is printed as brown.
Help gratefully received.
I've always used HP printers and this is a new one on me!

Hi wafflycat, if you reckon it's a cartridge issue then best bet is to contact HP phone support for a replacement....

OfficeJet Pro 8610 Not printing certain documents

My 8610 OfficeJet Pro is set up ALMOST perfectly. It prints almost all documents including email, word, website info, etc. HOWEVER, it will not print certain .pdf files and Word documents with Drawing Tools using within them. I have run every test & shows successul setup of wireless printer. I also did the HP Print & Scan troubleshoot in which the program found any problems & Fixed them. I did not hook up the Fax part of this system. Otherwise, all parts are working fine. However, in trying to get it to work I have disabled my Print from phone as well. It was working prior to trying to print a document with Drawing Tools & changing settings on the printer to try & get it to work. It is showing me it is connected but my phone is not recoginzing the printer. When I try & Print the document with the Drawing Tool within it, it sends it to the printer, and printer shows "Printing Report", But nothing happens.

OfficeJet pro 8600 not printing for USB attached WIn7

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Attached to Win 7 Dell with USB cable. It scans very well but most of the time when you go to print, it thinks the USB device has timed out and it gives me garbage about where to send a fax to?
I have other computers runing XP that are Wireless devices, and they take longer but print every time something is sent to them.
This connection is 3' away and the printer default & only printer for Win 7 machine. Under printers and devices it always sees the printer.

Try to run the Print and scan doctor and check the results.

Also, see if you can get another USB cable. Let me know the results.

The printer prints just fine however it will not print from certain websites. I get a message to choose a printer or setup a printer and when I choose the printer to print from it will not acknowledge it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bridge0328,
I see that you're having problems printing from websites. I have a couple of questions for you.
What browser are you using?
What operating system is your computer?

Unable to connect to HP Officejet Pro 8100 wireless printer: Unsuccesful Network Connection

Unable to set up the wireless on my new printer.
Error message: Unsuccessful Network Connection.
The printer was unable to install over the network.
I have printed the diagnostic report (HP Network Configuaration Page). There are no error comments on this page.
Under Wireless title, my correct WIFI isted under Network Name; however the status says disconnected.
Under Diagnostic Results title; Connectivty - Connected - PASS
Wireless - ON
Wireless Working - PASS
Signal - Very Good
I connected the USB cable as instructed in the wizard. Does it have something to do with when to disconnect this cable?

Hi,
You dont have to fiddle around with the wireless channel and calling your isp and all, i install these every day to my customers, when i get any issues i follow these three methods, one of them works
HP Printer Wireless Setup
HP Automatic Wireless Configuration or (HP Auto Wireless Connect) HP printer Wireless Setup, includes Auto Wireless Connect technology that allows connecting the printer to the wireless network automatically without having to connect any cables or enter wireless network settings such as wireless password or id. All new HP printers will have this capability during the software installation process. In some cases computers or the network configurations are compatible with HP Auto Wireless Connect. In these cases, an alternate wireless setup method will be offered. To be compatible with HP Auto Wireless Connect, the following conditions must be met: Your computer uses Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.5 +. Your computer uses a wireless connection to your network and the operating system is in control of the wireless adapter so that the HP Software can retrieve the computer’s current network settings. Your computer is connected to your 802.11b/g/n wireless router over a 2.4 GHz connection.
NOTE: HP Printers are currently not compatible with 802.11n 5.0 GHz networks.Your computer does not use a static static IP address. Your printer is in HP Auto Wireless Connect mode. The printer will be in this mode for one hour after it is first powered on during installation before it is connected to a network. If your printer has been powered on for more than one hour and the software has not yet tried to connect the printer to your wireless network, you can reset this mode by using the Restore Network Defaults option from the printer control panel. Refer to your printer documentation for how to perform Restore Network Defaults. Other environmental and technical factors may also affect whether HP Auto Wireless Connect is offered.
If HP Auto Wireless Connect is offered during the installation of your printer, it is the recommended setup method. Part of the setup process requires your computer to be temporarily disconnected from your wireless network. During this time you will not have Internet access. Be sure to save any online work and/or downloads before continuing with this setup method. To use this option, install the software for your printer and follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted, select the “Network (Ethernet/Wireless)” connection type and then choose “Yes, send my wireless settings to the printer (recommended)”. That’s it! The HP software will do the rest. If HP Auto Wireless Connect is not offered during the software installation or if it is not successful, you will be guided to use another wireless setup method.WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) – WPS has two modes to connect devices together over a wireless connection. One is called “pushbutton” and the other is called “PIN”. Pushbutton is by far the easiest method. We will describe how to connect using the WPS pushbutton method, but not the PIN method.
For instructions on starting WPS on your printer consult your printer’s manual. However there are some conditions that need to be met in order to use WPS pushbutton mode:
Both your printer and wireless router must support WPS pushbutton mode. Consult your printer and wireless router manuals. The wireless router must have a physical WPS pushbutton available. Your network must use WPA or WPA2 security. Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if WEP or no security is used. Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if you are using the manufacturer’s default for the network name and no security.
To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using WPS. Start the WPS pushbutton mode on your printer. For instructions on starting WPS on your printer, consult your printer’s manual. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.HP Printer Wireless Setup – The Wireless Setup WizardThe Wireless Setup Wizard, which you run from the printer’s control panel. Make sure you know your network name and your security password (WEP or WPA). On the printer’s control panel, press the Setup button and then select the Network menu. The Wireless Setup Wizard displays a list of wireless networks in the area. Note: The Setup button may appear as a wrench icon. There are differences between product models. Select your wireless network’s name from the list. If you don’t see your wireless network listed, you can enter your network name manually by scrolling to the bottom of the list. If you enter the name manually it must be exact, including upper and lower case characters. Enter your WEP key or WPA passphrase. You must enter the key or passphrase exactly, including upper and lower case characters. Your printer should connect to your wireless network. If it does not connect, you are given the opportunity to print a Wireless Network Test report that will help you find out what may be wrong.USB Setup of WirelessUSB setup of wireless – Some HP wireless printers can use this wireless setup method during the printer software installation. During this process you’ll temporarily connect a USB cable between the computer and the printer. It’s important that you connect and disconnect the cable only when prompted by the software, which will guide you through connecting and configuring your printer’s wireless connection. In some cases the software may automatically find your wireless settings for you.To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using USB setup of wireless, proceed to Installing Printer Software.

My HP L7780 all-in-one officejet pro will not print when inserting an original on the screen.

When I insert an original document on the copy screen, an error msg appears "original loaded" please re-load and try again. The printer functions properly from the auto feed and from computer commands. How do I remove "Original Loaded" from the printer screen so it operates correctly?

Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue, specifically the Print Diagnostic Utility.
It may also help to reset the printer as described here.

Officejet pro 8600 not printing. lost in print que

Out of the blue printer begins loosing print jobs. Have reset printer like HP instructs, and I have turned off both iMac and printer and restarted them. There is nothing to print. The que goes empty - before and after a reset, the print job shows to be printing, but nothing happens, then the print que blanks out.
It is a bonjour or airprinter. No usb hooked up. The utilities will make it print, but nothing else from the apps will print. A newsletter deadline is staring me in the face. What a time for this to happen.
I had a problem about a month ago and installed the firmware from HP and the latest drivers from HP. All went excellent. About a week later Apple downloads and installs a new(er) driver and all worked fine for about a week and then the print que began to slow. Now it has stopped. Need some help here.
