HP UPD PDF's not printing, but computer says it did

I haven't ever used UPD before. I installed a new printer using the UPD b/c I couldn't find a regular driver. Its working fine.
So I wanted to see if the UPD would help an HP 4050 print faster on pdfs. In Imanager I associated the UPD driver to the HP4050 (I installed that UPD as a driver for a HP 4015), but I figured its Universal right?
On the test computer I Installed the HP 4050 with the new UPD driver. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT when I print a pdf, it shows up in the print que, then says it printed successfully, however nothing comes out of the printer. Also Its not like it is hung, b/c I can immediately print a non pdf to the same printer.
Please help, I'm clueless.

I have personally fought with HP universal print drivers and iPrint countless hours over the years on an OES1 iPrint server. I win some battles and lose others when it comes to HP drivers and iPrint. Sometimes I can get them to work perfectly well, sometimes so-so, or sometimes not at all. It just depends on the printer and its corresponding drivers. However, I have found that sometimes (with problematic universal driver printers) you can select the printer's properties in control panel and find the option to update settings (that updates paper trays installed, memory, etc), and sometimes this has resolved my printing issues in the past. It can take several seconds or more at times for all the settings to be updated after requesting to poll the printer. Also, make sure you are running the latest version of the iPrint client. If you are running XP, make sure you are fully patched and have any recommended Microsoft issued iPrint or IPP related patches/hotfixes installed. That can make a difference at times I've found (when dealing with older iPrint clients with XP). Also, don't forget you can always manually reinstall the drivers via the update driver option for the iPrint printer object in the control panel on a Windows OS AFTER iPrint has autoinstalled the drivers from its driver store. Unfortunately, it seems that once iPrint gets its hands on the drivers (after being uploaded initially), they don't always end up being redistributed to subsequent clients in the same condition as the driver files originally were. Also, you might find a generic non-universal HP print driver that works ok with your 4050. Experiment with some other legacy HP drivers, such as the base 4000 series PCL drivers. Best wishes.

  • My IPOD is not connected but computer says it is

    I had a IPOD nano 2GB but I decided to upgrade to an IPOD 4GB so I can play videos. So far I am not impressed with it. On my old nano it was very organized. I had 2 playlists and and audioobok category. On my new IPOD I have a million categories and I can't seem to get it organized. I have music I don't want and can't seem to delete( songs aren't highlighted) I can't add a new playlist. So far I have music everywhere. I can't seem to add either I can't put the video where I want it. ETC ETC ETC. What is the problem? My old Nano seem to be so easy to use. Just plug it in the computer and voila. I tunes says it is pluggged in and updated, but nothing seems to working properly.
    IPOD Nano 4GB Windows XP Pro
    My new IPOD acts like it is not connected. That is why none of my songs are highlighted and I can't make a new playlist. Right now I have my new IPOD hooked on the computer to Itunes but it is not playing through itunes like the old one. I have tried to download the newest version of Itunes but it says I have the latest. The computer(Itunes) says it is connected and insync but for some reason not taking it. Do I need to take this back to the apple store?

    Do the iPod Disk Diagnotic in this excellent post by tt2.
    If the report is good
    Try using the USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC
    Disconnect all other USB devices
    Dont use any other Apps while you are syncing or Restoring.the iPod.
    Disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or other monitoring software.

  • Printer has paper, but computer says it is out of paper and won't print from web

    I am having trouble getting the computer to recognize that the printer has paper. The printer will print copies that I put in it, but when I want to print from the web, it won't let me do it; it just tells me that the printer is out of paper. I printed a number of pages from the web yesterday with no problem at all. I have an HP Deskjet F2430.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was trying to print off some material I had looked up on the web. When I saw what I was trying to print was going to be 40 pages, I did not want to continue printing it, and I did not know how to stop the printing, so I just pulled out my paper from the loader thing. I have since put paper back in the loader, but now my printer will not print anything, and says I am out of paper. I have tried and tried to fix this problem, and I really need to be able to print stuff, so I am pretty frustrated with this. I am a senior citizen and will admit that I am not all that astute with tech stuff. I would certainly appreciate some guidance with my problem. Thank you very much.

  • PDF's not printing to Epson R1900

    Posted problem awhile back. PDF would not print to my Epson R1900. Downloaded umpteen different drivers. I am on a G5 Intel Dual Core running OS 10.5.6 or 10.5.7 since yesterday. Adobe very little help, Epson likewise, although I talked to an Epson Tech for about 45 minutes one day.
    Decided I had to fix this myself. When in the Print window Click on "Advanced", check mark "Print as Image". This enables printing the PDF.
    Adobe has a note about this on their website now.

    Thank you!!!
    I recently noticed that when using the Gutenberg drivers on my Epson Stylus Photo 380, it was shrinking the pages slightly.
    So I decided to update the Epson drivers, and use them instead.
    After updating, I could no longer print over my network. It was making my crazy. I tried everything that I could think of.
    I saw your post & tried it. Perfect, worked like a charm!
    And such a simple solution.
    Thank you.

  • I'm trying to open a PDF on my iPad but it says not a valid PDF but it is valid?!

    I'm trying to open a PDF on my iPad but it says not a valid PDF but it is valid?!

    Is that the exact text of the message? I've searched our application messages and I'm fairly sure we don't present that message in our application. Can you please take a screen capture by pushing the home button and the power switch on the iPad. This will place the screen capture in your photo album. Then, you should be able to mail the picture to us at [email protected]

  • 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.

  • TS1702 I down loaded the Facebook app.. But it is not there but it says it is installed?

    I down loaded the Facebook app but it is not there but it says it as been installed?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find

  • Is it possible to make an object/colour that will not print but still be visible on screen once saved as a PDF?

    I want to show stuff in a PDF that will automatically not 'print' from Illustrator.
    For example create a colour to make shapes and text that you can read from the saved PDF but will not print once the PDF is printed out
    Thanks

    from illustrator you could put stuff on a template layer (check 'Template' in layer options), but then it would only be visible on the illustrator side; opened in Acrobat the layer would be invisible.
    you could do it from Acrobat Pro though. have 'Create Acrobat layers from top-level layers' checked in the PDF save options, then open in Acrobat and look in the layer properties (this is from Acrobat Pro 9):

  • Office OSX will not print, but PDF will...

    Hi,
    I've got an Epson R320 of which I downloaded the most recent drivers for hoping this issue would resolve, but no luck.
    I have MS Office OSX loaded on my iMac 600mhz "snow". If I save the file as a PDF and then print using "Preview" it will print. However, even a test page won't print in Word.
    Any suggestions? Is this an Office OSX issue or a printer issue?
    Thanks,
    Justin

    Adobe Reader can only print pdf files.

  • Printer will not print from computer, but will make copies.

    My Photosmart C4280 All-in-One was working fine and suddenly it will not print from my computer.   After trying Diagnostic Utility 4.1 the message appeared that it has "encountered a problem and needs to close."  Also, a message appeared that it is "offline."  Can anyone help to get it back online?  I desperately need this printer in working order.

    What operating system? How is the printer connected?
