HPDeskjet845C suddenly wont print [solved]

I've just notice this today. Using KDE, I can see the device is there but it wont do anything. I'm thinking its something with the recent cups upgrade, but I dont have the old version in my cache to test it. Has anyone else had this problem, or the old cups package?

Are you using any custom udev rules for your printer ?
no
Is your user in group lp ?
no, but adding it didn't help. Logging in as root doesn't do anything either
What is the output of ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 0 2005-05-16 19:05 /dev/usb/lp0
chmoding it 777 does nothing. What should it be?
Any errors in /var/log/cups log files ?
nothing informitive:

how would I set the log level to debug?
I'm using custom /etc/udev/rules.d/00.udev.rules
do I really need to do that? Does your work with the defaults?
I modprobed usblp and of course....nothing.
I really doesn't seem like permisions problem (root I get nothing) maybe a symlink? /dev/usb/lp0 itself doesn't appear to be symlinked.
here's the rules:
# USB devices
KERNEL="hiddev*", NAME="usb/%k"
KERNEL="auer*", NAME="usb/%k"
KERNEL="legousbtower*", NAME="usb/%k", MODE="0666"
KERNEL="dabusb*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", SYMLINK="pilot"
# printer devices
SUBSYSTEM="printer", GROUP="lp"
I dont know enough about that file to change it ... if you need more let me know.

My officejet 4500 g510n-z wont print faxes or from copy or scan. It prints perfect from computer.

my officejet 4500g510n-z suddenly wont print incoming faxes, or from copy or scan. It prints perfectly from computer. it also wont print fax reports or test pages. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with software disc, still no go.what do i need to do please?

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. Let's us 192.168.1.100 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Photosmart 6515 Wont Print Black Ink

I too am having the same problem as everyone else. I have had 3 printer from HP and always bragged about how good they are...All of a sudden 2 of the 3 went bad...the HP 6515 wont print the black ink, as well as the Photosmart B209.
I spent over $100 on ink for both of these and they wont print...I tried all the little suggestions.
This will be my last HP when the new one I purchased a few months back goes out. I think that is why they are $100 machines...they only last 1 year and you have to go buy a new one...
Very dissapointed!!!

The post here may help resolve the black not printing issue with your Photosmart b209a printer.
I have asked for an HP Support agent to take a look at your Photosmart 6515 case.

IPhoto suddenly wont import photos from my iPhone

iPhoto suddenly wont import photos from my iPhone.
Keeps sending me error messages... wrong format.
anyone know about this?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Black Ink wont print on HP Photosmart Plus B210a Product CN216A

My black ink wont print on the printer stated above. I have changed it twice in the past 3 days, still wont work. I then ran a print quality report, cleaned printheads, aligned cartridges, ran all the tests. Nothing will work. The color ink will print, but nothing black will. On the print quality report, the black ink wont show. The printer displays the black ink, so installation of the cartridge must have been correct. Is the black ink cartridge or slot broken. I'm not a tech savvy person so I dont know the term for that thing. Please help, and let me know if I should just get a new printer. Thanks

Since you have automatically cleaned the printhead, and aligned the cartridges I would try a manual cleaning of the printhead to make sure that ink buildup is not the issue. Solution three on this document shows how to remove and clean the printhead manually. I know that this document is not titled with your ink issue, but it is the best at outlining the steps needed to do that cleaning on the printhead. Open that first drop down menu option titled “0xc1900013 or no code displays with the Ink System Failure error message” and follow those steps listed under solution three. While you have that printhead out and are cleaning the contacts, take note of the warranty ends date listed there. If there is still an issue, write back and let me and provide that date off the printhead too.

Hp laserjet pro p1606dm with yosemite with usb wont print but printed on a network

hp laserjet pro p1606dm with Mac Yosemite using a USB wont print. Printed however when used on a network. Downloaded a driver again, though driver already installed. Driver was a dmg file and wouldn't open. Forum told me to use Safari to open a dmg file but that didn't work. Help! Want to use the printer at home that I was using at the office.

Hi @soneighbor ,
I understand that you are having issues printing from a USB connection, but you were able to print by a Wired Network connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The drivers for 10.8 are installed by the Apple Updates.
Once the printer is connected by a USB cable directly to the Mac, you should be able to just run the Apple Updates to install the drivers automatically. Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
Delete any of the older drivers first.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1606dn)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing again.
If you run into any issue, please do the following:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you are still having any issues, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

HP Laserjet P1006 suddenly quit printing wirelessly - in between print jobs. Instantly.

Hi -
I used to be able to print wirelessly from my macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) to my Laserjet P1006.
I can still print if I plug in via USB, but as soon as I unplug, the "print and scan" window says my printer is offline.
I was inbetween print jobs when suddenly the printer stopped allowing my computer to print wirelessly. There was nothing I could see that would have set it off.
I have tried shutting everything down (computer and printer, even wireless router) and turning back on.
I have tried telling computer not to remember printer... then connecting again with USB to get it to recognize as new. That didn't work.
I tried to follow instructions for MAC and for this specific printer from a post someone else made, but the instructions said to hit utility from the "Open Print Queue" window and I didn't have that option. It also said to look for Bonjour, I didnt' have that option.
I'm frazzled.
How can I get my wireless connection back?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Teh Laserjet P1006 is a USB only printer and does not provide any wireless connection:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01173154&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
May you connected the pritner to a print server (a USB port of a router, etc.) in the past? yje specific model does not support any connection without using a USB.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 wireless wont print with iPhone 5s

This printer billed as Wireless that I purchased in 2011 wont print with IPhone or iPad because it is not on list of Air Print devices So I was told by HP to buy a new one and since it wasnt equipped with HP's "eprint" the app thats out there to make up for this will not work. I was speaking to sales person to avoid paying but I cant believe this. There are better printers but that doesnt make this a throw away. and who wants to buy a wireless printer that wont print wirelessly? Help!
This question was solved.

Hi there Hank,
Sorry to hear you're having a rough go with the printer.
As for the 8000 wireless, I would guess that you got a newbie tech rep on the phone. I couldn't figure out why they said there's no workaround, because I had been able to get older printers going with HP troubleshooting documents. So here are a few that might help:
1. Install the printer on your network (if it isn't already) Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection
2. Download the HP E-Print Mobile App for iOS. It should still work with non- eprint printers: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?mt=8
3. Take a glance at this tutorial video, for some quick tips on getting started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1z1pSC8WHI

I tried it both ways from my Dell laptop, wireless and wired this document will not print. So I used HP Print doctor and was able to print a test page twice. I am assumming it is the document but for the life of me I can't figure out why.I even turned off my firewall and tried to print again with no luck and there is nothing showing up in the Print Que. Thanks for your help in advance

Hi heather13,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are unable to print to your Photosmart 6520 from your Dell laptop.
I’ve included the Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue document. There are different sections for the different operating systems. Please click on your operating system and follow the steps.
