HP OFFICEJET V40 WON'T PRINT TEST PAGE

Printing a test page only prints the very top line of the test page. This printer was working with Windows 7 for me. I tried to print a word document with the same result (only the top line of the document will print - and errors)

Hi MOTORBOATIN, I believe this printer is using the built-in driver that comes with the Windows 10 Operating System. As a close look at the software and drivers section, there doesn't appear to be any full feature software and drivers through HP for this printer. So as long as your Windows Operating System is up-to-date, you should have the latest driver. I would recommend to try the following steps: Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).Reinstall using the Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver. (These steps will work on Windows 10.) Hope this information is helpful! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

OfficeJet Pro 8500A won't print test page

This printer suddenly won't print, even a test page. When I try to print from another program I get an error message, document gets stuck in print que. Wireless is recognized. Scan Doctor found printer, still it won't print. Suggestions?

Hi
The problem seems to be with the print spooler service.
since you have already tried the print scan doctor
we can try doing it manually.
Firstly Determine whether the printer is paused or offline
Return to the Devices and printers folder that you opened earlier in this document.
Right-click the name of the product, and then click See what's printing .
Click Printer .
On the print queue menu bar, click Printer , and then look for the Pause Printing and Use Printer Offline items in the menu.
Make sure that there is no checkmark next to either item. If a checkmark displays next to either item, click to clear it.
If these steps resolved the issue , you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists , continue to the next solution
Manually clear the print queue
Return to the Devices and printers folder that you opened earlier in this document.
Right-click the name of the product, and then click See what's printing .
Click Printer , and then click Cancel All Documents .
Click Yes to confirm the action.
If documents remain in the print queue, restart the computer.
Try printing again.
If these steps resolved the issue , you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists , continue to the next solution.
Restart the Print Spooler device
On the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon ( ), type admin in the Search programs and files box, and then click Administrative Tools .
Double-click Services .
Right-click Print Spooler .
Click Stop to stop the Print Spooler.
Click Start to restart the Print Spooler.
Restart the computer.
Try the print job again

Officejet Pro8500 A910g cannot print test page from EWS

I got this officejet 1 week ago and it has been labour to install ..each time I turn on the pc and tried the Officejet there was a problem ( scanning could not be done because of no connection , printer was not found..etc) I actually uninstall and reinstall the software and driver 6 times ...so far it seems to be ok but when I use the IP address of the printer and want to try to print a test page i always get an error " an error has occured click go back"..it happen each time I tried to print a test page ..everything is working well ..I can print from the pc but not from that page ..any ideas ? thanks
PC=> window 7 (64 bits)- connected through wired router
Officejet connected wireless ( same router )

I have managed to solve this by changing page settings. These were oddly reset when the printer was installed.

CUPS is set-up but won't print test page or document.

Hi, all.
I've just installed CUPS and followed the Arch wiki. I've set-up CUPS many times before, but not under Arch. My printer is installed with the default driver (for Epson Colour DX7400), but no matter what I do, I can't get it to print. My printer is switched on and I see my prints in the print cue, and it says they are completed. Can anybody suggest what really obvious thing I must be missing?
Cheers,
Chris.

I eventually got my printer (HP Deskjet) working by using system-config-printer to set it up. This was after Cups couldn't even find it:
sudo pacman -S system-config-printer system-config-printer-gnome hal-cups-utils
My printer's driver 'hplip' was also installed. To set up you need to find your printer's URI:
sudo lpinfo -v
It should look something like this:
hp:/usb/Deskjet_3900?serial=TH58F122KP04CK
I already had !usblp in the modules array. The only problem I have now is that the page formatting is slightly off. Cups 1.4 is especially problematic in Arch, I have a Debian Testing install and it was simple to set up my printer and it works perfectly. I've also tried it from a Ubuntu 9.10 live cd which includes cups 1.4 and no problems there either. It seems there's something peculiar about Arch's implementation of the new Cups.
This may or may not be of any help. I've seen so many people struggling with this and so many solutions proffered that another one can't hurt.
The following thread did the trick for me. I wasn't able to find hal-cups-utils in the repo anymore so the chmod trick worked beautifully. I'm using a Brother HL-2040 printer.

Officejet 4630 won't print multiple page document

Installation was a piece of cake - but I've found that when I try to print more than 2 pages, I receive a printing error. There's no explanation as to what the error might be. I've run the HP doctor and it said that errors were fixed. When I tried to print again, I received the same error. This is very frustrating. Please help. This is a brand new printer.

Hi Although I am not sure what the error is, or what is causing it, I have a few things we can do to try to resolve the issue. First I suggest using the following steps to delete the printer from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties. 1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’5. Choose 'Remove driver only'6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this. If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed. If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
If this issue persists let me know and I will see what else we can do. Thanks.

HT3500 why can't any of my apps on MAC Pro print to my HP Officejet 6700? The Print Test Page works and the HP utilities correctly work.

OS = 10.5.8
My Windows PCs and laptops work just fine

Processor = 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Within seconds of selecting the disk and clicking on the install button the following error message comes up:
The installation failed.
An unknown installation error occurred.
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

Won't print to photo tray, but will print test page

I have most current Vista driver, but can't print to photo tray. It won't pull the tray in, although it works great when printing test page. I tried various page/paper settings and "photo tray" light settings, but still won't print from Vista.
Tried 8250 printer properties, changing paper settings, but can't recognize settings, even though it sees the paper and prints the test page. Seemed to work just fine with XP.
This question was solved.

Plugged into an XP machine, photo printed.
Plugged back into Vista, fooled with the settings, then it worked!
I don't know what exactly fixed it...

Updated firmware to printer, updated drivers, installed, reinstalled, installed, same issue. What is missing settings in windows 8?

I am sorry to hear about your Officejet 8100e not installing properly on your Windows 8 PC. I would like to do my best to help you.
I understand you have updated the Firmware and uninstalled and reinstalled as well.
I am going to suggest these steps, in order:
Uninstalling the printer using this driver removal utility - Level 3
Restart you PC
Installing the printer using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows
I hope this helps!
Good luck

My Officejet 7410 won't print documents

My Officejet 7410 won't print any files. The HP downloadable troubleshooting utility found nothing wrong with my printer. I've deleted this printer from Windows XP. I've then shut down my computer and printer, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled my printer.
I can print a test page just fine. I can scan a document and save it. But I can't print from Word, WordPad, NotePad, or any document through my browser, which is Google Chrome.
The printer was working perfectly yesterday. Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm pretty desperate, I need to be able to print for my job, and by tomorrow morning I'm going to need to print again, so the clock is definitely ticking.
UPDATE: I removed the printer(s) from my printer list, completely uninstalled the software, and downloaded new software and reinstalled the printer. Now it prints and scans.

Hi,
Do you have an option for Draft mode in the print settings / print preferences?

Officejet 4630 won't print any files

officejet 4630 has been installed correctly and is able to print test pages and also scan documents correctly. When I try to print a word file, pdf or anything else an error message keeps coming up in the printing status and won't allow me to print anything. I was having issues with previous printers not allowing me to print correctly either but i'm not sure whats wrong!
please help!

Hello @jackbheth ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that you are experiencing a problem when printing certain types of documents.
I would like to help you with this.
To check on the HP software, try running the Print and Scan Doctor.
In case it is a Windows problem, try the Microsoft Fix it Solution Center.
Hopefully these tools will fix the issue.
If they do not, please let me know.

Hp all-in One remote prints test page but cannot find printer for anything else

The HP All-in-One application can print test pages on my 8610 but when I go to any document or photo and try to print I get the following message "This Printer is not available." I have checked and have the latest version of the HP All-in-one Printer Remote application and the HP Print Service Plugin applications from the Google Play store. I am using a Samsung Galaxy 5 running Android 5.0. If I print a page from my laptop using wireless to this printer, I can see the All-in-One application tracking my printer status so I know it can see the printer. The app on the phone will show the status under the printer name going from Ready to Unavailable to Ready as a document is printed and then finished. I am printing directly with local WIFI and am not using the ePrint feature.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums!
I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I'd like to help you with the issues you are having printing from your Samsung Galaxy S5 to your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One printer. Firstly, do you have the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? The printer has a power moderator built in, so if it is plugged into a power surge bar or battery backup it may be getting inconsistent power. This can cause all kinds of firmware glitches (like the printer status not being broadcast properly). If that doesn't immediately resolve the issue, please follow the steps below: Network Power Reset: Let's leave the router on and unplug the power cable (NOTE: Do not reset the router.), then do the same with the printer, and shut down the computer. After a full minute, plug the router back in, wait for it to fully power up, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid. Once both the router and printer are on, go ahead and turn the computer back on. Doing this will refresh the network connection. Restore Network Defaults and Reconnect: 1. On the front panel of the printer, touch your wireless icon at the top2. Select Settings.3. Select Restore Network Defaults.4. Restart your printer.5. Once it's booted back up, touch the wireless icon again.6. Select Settings.7. Select Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the prompts to enter your wireless network details.8. Try enabling the web services again. Another thing I would suggest, would be to download the HP ePrint app, rather than the All-in-One Remote. The Remote is moreso suited for scanning to your phone from your product, so I would suggest trying the ePrint app (you can download it from the Play Store). If the issue persists after these steps, please answer the following questions so I'm better able to assist: Are you able to print reliably from any other devices on your network?What brand and model of router are you using?What is it that you are trying to print? (ie. E-mail, photo, document)What app are you printing from? (Some Android apps have a direct printing feature)I look forward to hearing back from you and working towards a resolution to this issue!Have a great weekend.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - printing BLANK pages

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus... printing totally blank pages. Printer SOUNDS like it's printing... pages slowly feed out and printhead sounds like it moves back and forth...Tried all 3 levels of printhead cleaning... still banks.Tried "print reports" - blank.Attempted a local "copy" at the printer - blank. We've had the printer maybe ~ 2 years.Recently changed out cyan ink cartridge.Used on our wireless network - not directly connected to any computer.Recently upgraded main computer from Windows XP to Windows 8.1Also use a Macbook Pro on the wireless network Help!

Also... just downloaded the "HP Print and Scan Doctor"... attempting to print "test pages" and again, they sound like they're printing, but they come out BLANK. Ink levels are okay.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

Won't print last page

Has anyone else had this problem?
HP 5200DTN won't print last page of any document.

I have this same problem and can't figure it out. It started roughly a couple months ago.
I did some testing in Word and found that it would not print the last page if I had a page break in the document, but would print the last page if I removed the page break. However, it also happens often even if the document doesn't have a page break.
HP LaserJet 1320
OS 10.9.5
Has anyone found a solutions for this?

HP Printer Won't Print Complete Page?

I connected my HP printer ( WI-FI) to my PowerBook. Problem is that it won't print a complete page. On preview it shows the total page - when I try printing all I get a third of the page print & blank!!!
Any suggestions are welcome!

Hello OscarBlanco, I see that you have stated multiple issues, viz Printer printing test pages and printer prints half the page. To solve the "Printer printing test pages", perform the below steps, which should also resolve the half page being printed. The printed test page is called Alignment Page. Once the Alignment page is printed...Lift the scanner lid.Place the alignment page with the print side down on the right-front corner of the scanner glass. See the engraved guide next to the scanner glass for help loading the alignment page.Figure : Place the alignment page on the scanner glassClose the scanner lid.Press the Start Copy Black button () or the Start Copy Color button () on the front panel of the printer. The printer aligns the cartridges.
