HP Photosmart Plus cancels print job itself mid-run

Hi,
I have an HP Photosmart Plus which I connect wirelessly to my laptop which runs Vista (x64). Recently, when I try and print off my work (written on screenwriting software Final Draft 8), the printer cancels the job unprompted half way or three quarters of the way through. In the print job status box, it will say "error - cancelling" but with no further details.There are no blinking lights on the printer. The printer seems to think it has received a "cancel" command.
The same problem does not occur when I print through the usb connection so the problem seems to concern the wireless connection. The laptop, router and printer are all in the same room so strength of signal is not the issue.
I would be very grateful for any thoughts on how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Yes, I'm in the same boat and actually, I'm pretty pissed about it.  I had a print going, but the printer ran out of paper.  I was looking for paper, and got side tracked, and when I came back in (We're talking 5 minutes) the printer started doing a bunch of stuff, and I noticed it said "print cancelled"  What the hell HP.. That's BS..   There should be a way to disable that, and allow it to stay 12 hours if I want it to.  People get busy, and can't always be there when prints go.  Often I print from other rooms, and don't even go to get my prints for hours, so how would I know it's out of paper?  I do not run the print software on my computers, just the drivers.

  • My Photosmart plus wont print jobs from my IPad 2.

    I have the wireless set up on the new printer and the IPad 2 will find the printer when I tell it to print, but nothing happens from there once I begin the print job.  I ran the wireless diagnostic and all is good, so just wondering what is going on?  I did not install any of the programs on the CDs that came with the printer to my actual PC.

    I have the same problem but I've installed all the software.

  • UNABLE TO CANCEL PRINT JOB THAT KEEPS PRINTING SAME COPIES

    How do you cancel print job on a HP Deskjet D1520 with Windows Vista?
    THANKS!

    Since this printer does not have a physical "Cancel" button, the easiest way of stopping a document print is to clear the document from the Print Queue.
    To remove a document from the print queue manually:
    1. Depending upon your operating system, do one of the following:
    • Windows Vista: On the Windows taskbar, click Start, click Control Panel, and
    then click Printers.
    • Windows XP: On the Windows taskbar, click Start, click Control Panel, and
    then click Printers and Faxes.
    • Windows 2000: On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Settings, and
    then click Printers.
    2. Double-click the icon for your product to open the print queue.
    3. On the Printer menu, highlight the document, click Cancel or Purge Print Document,
    and then click Yes to confirm.
    Now, if the document has already started printing and you want to stop it before it finishes; then simply lift the top access door which will pause printing. Remove the document from the print queue now. If it is no longer in the print queue, then power off the printer. Wait about 30 seconds and power on the printer again. This should have stopped the document from printing.

     Hi @TJBar, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're looking into how to cancel your print jobs.  I would like to assist.
    When printing, on the front panel of your printer you will see a large red 'X'.  This will allow you to cancel any print jobs by touching the X.

    Hi,
    From the Desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  Into the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.  Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button.  Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
    Restart the computer and you should find the document(s) have been removed.

  • Why is my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer showing up as only a printer and not a scanner?

    I have an iMac running 10.9.3. I am trying to set up my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer which is connected to my airport extreme. But for some reason, on my iMac it is showing up as only a printer and does not recognize the scanner or give me any scanning options. I need this for a class........any suggestion? I have been to HP's website but cannot locate any drivers or scanning software on their page, only instructions.

    Make sure the scanner is powered on.
    If the scanner fails to show up, open Preview in Applications. Under File do you see Import from scanner....
    If no, Open Image Capture in Applications and see if it will recognize your scanner.

    I some how disabled my wireless address on hp photosmart plus 209a print. I need to know how to turn it back on.

    DId you just turn off the radio (does the blue light indicate that)?  If so, go to Setup > Network and turn the radio back on.
    Or did you reset the defaults?
    Does your router have WPS?  What brand/model is your router?

  • Connect hp photosmart plus b209 printer to verizon fios wireless router

    Having trouble connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209 printer to verizon fios wireless router in order to access printer via home wireless network.  The WPS (push button) connection option is not available on the current software version of router (VERIZON M1424WR rev.1  (Mfg. ACTIONTEC)).  So, need to know how to connect via the PIN option.  
    Normally, to connect a wireless device (like this HP printer) to the network, the device would input the router's security pin (e.g. WEP key).  But I can't figure out how to input the router's WEP key via the printers face screen.  And, after talking to Verizon, there is no provision to enter the printer's pin within the router's control setup online.  
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Linux client can't cancel print jobs in print monitor

    CUPS print server on Mac OS X server 10.4
    CentOS 4.4 linux client
    - Mac OS X server and CentOS linux client on different authentication sources
    The CentOS 4.4 linux client is configured for CUPS printing and pointed to the Mac OS X server CUPS print service.
    The linux client can successfully print to available printers servered by the Mac OS X server.
    The linux client has a print monitor. Normal user on linux client cannot cancel print jobs thru this print monitor. Selection of print job and pressing the 'cancel' button do not effect a cancel. Admin user on Mac OS X print server can cancel the job from the print server.
    Is authorization required for a client to cancel a CUPS print job on the client?
    Is same authentication setup required for both client and server?
    Thanks,

  • HP LaserJet 300 M375 nw cancels print job after a few pages

    I just received a new replacement MFP through the insurance I purchased through Office Depo. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software on my desktop and my work laptop in order to get this one working.  I'm on wifi with both computers. The printer is automatically cancelling my print jobs after 7 - 9 pgs when I'm trying to print 25 or 50 pages at one time.  Also, I'm not able to get the "scan" icon to show up on my desktop on my laptop.

    Hello! Could you please provide more information regarding the issue, such as which version of MAC OS X you are using? Any additional information such as error messages or lights on the printer will be helpful in resolving your issue. Thanks!

  • Officejet Pro 6835 self-cancels print jobs with more than 3 copies

    I am printing 5x7 invitations for a business.  No matter how many copies I request, y brand new HP Officejet Pro 6835 will self-cancel the print job after 3 invitations have printed.  So if I have 30 invites to print, I have to print them in batches of 3.  Tonight I had 150 invites to print - so it is a long envening.  The error displayed on my HP ENVY laptop is that there is an error and can't print (not informative).  The error on the HP printer is that the print job has been cancelled.
    The other issue is that I am forced to print the 5x7 invites in landscape mode which is very slow.  Portrait mode would go much faster but for some reason the handshake between Word and the printer will not allow this to happen.  I've tried to custom configure the page set up to be 7x5, but Word will not save the custom configuraiton.
    Please help!

    Hi-
    Thank you for the suggestion but unfortuneately the hotfix did not solve the problem.  I am now getting between 2.5 to 3 copies.  Do you have any other thoughts?  I did install the hotfix on c:/ which was the default - was there another directory I should have chosen?
    As a side note, I am trying to print a batch right now and am trying to seperate the job into copies of 2.  Even this is not working.  About every very other card, I am getting a partially printed card and the print job cancels.  In a batch of 19 (10 print jobs of 2), I have 11 ruined cards because they have partially printed before the job self-cancels.  Very expensive to have a 60% ruin rate.
    Also, I would really like to be able to print in portrait rather than landscape mode.  I am estimating that printing in landscape mode takes more than 4.5 x (23 seconds) than portrait mode (5 seconds) - when printing 150 copies this results in a job being over an hour vs. closer to 15 minutes which is best case since I have to constantly restart the job.  I also suspect that landscpae mode is far less efficient in its use of ink than portrait mode.  Any help would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Cannot Cancel Print Job!!!

    Hi, I have tried everything, disconneting everything, but nothing works, the program apparently does not work, the normal way to just delete a job is not working, have hp deskjet f2210, and it will not cancel the print job no matter what I do! Any ideas? Thank you in advance for reading and trying to help me!

    Oh yes, don't you just love having to reboot your PC to clear up the print queue?  Well, I don't and have been using a little freeware app called "Stalled Printer Repair".  Google will find it for you.  I don't even think it needs to be installed.  You just run it.  I have found that it almost always cleans things up without having to kill processes and reboot.  Nice!
