IP4500 printer always defaulting to "Pause printing". I have to open Print Queue and de-select pause
My iP4500 has started to always switch to "Pause Printing". I am prompted to open the pring queue and uncheck the pause printing box. It then prints, but goes back to pause when it is done. What changed, and what do I change to correct this???
Have you tried removing the printer from System Preferences and then adding it back?

hp 3915. vista 32 "print queue issue" and i have to clear print queue and redo print. I think it may be a driver issue. Is there a driver for 3915 using Vista. Mine says only 2000 and XP. Thanks.
Hi there ken4863,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Cannot clear a document from printer queue, and it is preventing printing, i have rebooted
HP G72 notebook printer
Wifi networked to Lexmark Pro 205 printer
I have a document which is stuck in the print queue and will not cancel and remove. I have rebooted the computer three times, the printer three times and the network. It is blocking printing by the printer.
How do I remove and clear the queue?Hi this might work as well
1. Click start and go to the control panel and next go to printers.
2. Doubleclick your printer icon.
3. In the new screen click on the word printer in the top left corner en set a check mark with "use printer offline".
4. Disconnect the unit from the computer.
5. Click on the word printer again in the top left corner and choose "cancel all printjobs". Wait until this happens.
6. If this not happens restart your computer and check if the printjob is gone now. If it does happen skip step 6.
7. If the printjob is gone reconnect your printer and click printer in the top left corner again and remove the check mark with "use printer offline".
8. Try printing.

Any Ideas?
Thanks,
George GovotsisI have the same printer, P1005, and hae been using it with Tiger (PPC), Leopard (PPC and intel), snow Leopard and Lion. What I do know is that it DOES HAVE print bugs in Tiger and, perhaps, Leopard, I had to ALWAYS manually delete print jobs after EVERY print as system did not clean memory. I reported this to Apple, but it seems to be a printer driver issue, unsolved by HP. It was solved in subsequent systems. So, my suggestion is to upgrade to Snow Leopard at least, as you have a core 2 duo 2006 MB, or directly to Lion as most recent, and best fit with printer drivers. You must put at least 2 GB of memory for SL and Lion, best is 4 GB (your model may support 3 GB only if the first core 2 duo series).
Until then, clean printing system by clicking minus button in sys prefs/print.
download last HP printer driver for Tiger,check with their site
install driver or reinstall, even if installed
put printer back again
If it continues to behave as described, then you must delete every print job after completion or upgrade to at least SL. Many say SL is best for that generation, me included. But you must not share this opinion, of course. -
Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print
As the title say, It sends to the spool, says printing, disappears, and I cry, because nothing is printed.
HP Deskjet 1513 - Windows 7
Tried wiping out and reinstalling the drivers
The ones that came from the CD, OR the ones online. No response from the printer.
I can clean the printer, align cartridges, print test page, scan documents, but cannot print documents.
Not from word, not from pdf, nor a web page, neither notepad.
The printer IS the default printer.Solution: disable bidirectional support on the Ports section

Hp photosmart C7280 says "stopped" in print queue and won't print!
I just bought an hp photosmart C7280 today. It was a pretty simple setup with the actual printer and network and all. i download the updated driver from the hp website and all seemed kosher there too. now i click "print" and on the print queue page it says "stopped" and won't print!
ahhh please help? is this a good printer with macs anyways? it seemed kinda loud during the setup...I too have gone through most of the problems described here but have finally been able to get the c7280 working properly, yet I'm still not very happy with the solution.
For connectivity reasons, I wanted to connect the aio to my network via ethernet cable directly to my router. While my computers will access the network wirelessly, I wanted the printer to have a solid connection. Unfortunately, I was never (and still can't) get it to work properly using this connection. What finally did work was using the wireless connection in the printer to connect to the network.
Why this would work wirelessly and not while directly connected is something no one has been able to explain. I still have the printer right next to my wireless router to interference doesn't seem to be a problem and it seems fast enough, but the fact that I can't get it working properly with a "less technically challenged" method, really bothers me. What if I didn't have a wireless network? While wireless is great, if there was an easy solution to have all my desktops connected via ethernet, I'd prefer it (easy being not having a bunch a cables around and perhaps a pre-wired network in my home!)
Anyway, I hope everyone who has this machine gets the problem worked out. Unfortunately, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would buy this one again unless the software was rock solid. Physically the unit works well, but is a little loud I admit and went through my black cartridge pretty fast even though I used in saving settings such as fast draft, etc.
Just as a side note, the HP support guy in Canada was fairly annoying. When we still couldn't get it working properly via ethernet, he insisted it must be a problem with Apple or a conflict with a program I have installed, etc,etc. and told me that every one of his customers that has Leopard also has this unit working 100% properly. I politely told him he needs to add me as his first failure!
OK, enough rant. Try connecting wirelessly and see if that works. I would uninstall the current printers as suggested, but also clear out the printer cache. Do this by right clicking in the add a printer box area and choose reset printing system. If all else fails and you upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, then......gulp...... uninstall Leopard and revert back to Tiger. Under Tiger, both my macs worked perfectly connected via ethernet printer connection. Good luck. -
Print jobs hung up in print queue and blocks further printing
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500A and an IMAC running OS10.9.5. Whenever I print something, it (if it is the only print job) prints; however, it doesn't get deleted from the queu. Therefore, all subsequent print jobs get held up in the queue and I have to go in and manually delete the completed job so the others can print. If more than one job in the print queue, I have to continually go in and delete each printed job.
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Thanks Jamieson. I really appreciate your assistance. I uninstalled the printer software per suggestion #1 and then re-entered my printer and all seems to be working fine now.

I have most of my users for my office in my NYCNY container. One of those
users is a help desk technician that we don't want to give admin rights to,
however we want him to be able to create print queues, servers, and
printers.
So my thought is to make an OU=PRINTER inside the NYCNY OU. I will then
give that tech full rights to the OU and public has browse rights. He has
no trouble creating the print objects, and in each queue he just has to put
the NYCNY container into the users list.
Does anyone see a problem with this? Should it work? Is there a better
way?
I'm having some issues but before I go any further I wanted to know if my
thinking so far is correct. This is NW51 sp7 eDir 8733.
ThanksWell, when i install the printer he set up on a windows xp workstation it
doesn't print. When you open the properties of the printer and look at the
ports, there are two created. One called \\tree\printer_name the other
\\tree\printer_name.printer.nycny Just very strange. But I haven't look at
how he's setting up the printer yet, I know it's jetadmin that's about all.
And everytime he opens nwadmin he blue screens....which is in the realm of
bizarre. That's all I know so far, I can post back with more info this
afternoon after I look into it a bit.
Thanks though!

Print queues and wireless XP laptops
Server is used for storage and print queues. Print queues are for wireless laptops. Most are apple and work fine. HOWEVER...I am having trouble adding the printer queues to my PC winxp pro laptops(these are wireless only use when printing). I been trying several things to no avail. Any help or step by step would be appreciated.
ThanksSMB service is on. IPP and LPD is enabled on the queues.

Print Queue Will Not Retain Incomplete Jobs
Occasionally when printing to a network device I get an EOF message and the file does not print. When printing from Quark 6 the file stays in the print queue and the status changes to "stopped". Interestingly however, when printing from Quark 7 and an EOF is encountered the file does not stay in the Held queue but rather goes to the Completed queue when it has not actually been printed. Does anyone know how to get around this? I've found that when this occurs it's generally just a matter of resending the queued file to the printer once more and everything works. But when a file drops into the completed queue I can't retrieve it which means reprinting the entire (really large) document.
I've tried dragging the files from the Completed queue to another network print queue and then back again to the original printer. But this doesn't work either. Also tried saving Postscript files and then dragging them into the queue but this always leaves me with an EOF. No exceptions on the postscript file option (not sure about this, but suspect it's a topic for a different discussion thread).
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Here is something I need to confirm:
1. Does this issue occur with other network printers?
2. Does this issue occur when printing a text file?
If this issue just occurs with HP LaserJet P4015n, it is caused by the specific printer driver.
Now please perform the following steps to troubleshoot this issue.
Clear spool file
1. Stop the spooler by doing the following:
a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services .
b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
c. Right click Print Spooler and click Stop .
2. Delete the spool files
a. Open My Computer.
b. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ .
c. Delete all of the files inside of this folder.
3. Restart the spooler.
a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services
b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
c. Right click the Print Spooler and click Start.
Change the spooling format
Set the spooling format to RAW, and then try to print directly to the printer instead of spooling the print job. To do this:
a. Click "Start", point to "Settings", and then click "Printers".
b. Right-click the printer that you are using, and then click "Properties".
c. In the Advanced tab, click "Print Processor".
d. Set the default "Data type" to "RAW" for both "WinPrint" and "ModPrint".
f. Click "OK", click "OK" again, and then close the Printers dialog box.
Does it work?
Hope this helps.
Miles

Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling
A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
Problem:
Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
Solution (Bizarre Solution).
The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
I tried this a few more times but with no success.
I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
So I did another test.
I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
This question was solved.
View Solution.What an amazing solution!
I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.
Thanks again! -
I'm not sure if it's my system that causes this to happen or if this is just the way Mac OS X 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 are supposed to work. But every time I send a print job to any printer (we have three of them - one on ethernet and two USB connected printers), the printer queue always stays open after the print job is complete. This didn't happen in Mac OS X 10.4.11.
The printer icon shows up in the dock as soon as I send the print job to the printer. Then the job prints. Once the print job is complete, the printer icon stays in the dock but I have to click on it to open the printer queue and then manually quit it. Shouldn't the printers just automatically quit and be removed from the dock when the print job is complete - like they did under Mac OS X 10.4.11?
Having used Macs for 15 years, I always quit out of everything when it's not in use and this is kind of an annoyance - like having an extra application stay open all the time when it's not needed.
Is there something that I haven't configured properly or a way around this?
Thanks for your help,
GerardWhen I control clicked on the laserjet icon in the dock, I saw "Auto Quit" so I selected that. And now all the printers say "Auto Quit".
That worked!
Thanks SO MUCH,
Gerard -
[Solved] Lightweight print queue manager recommendations?
My wife uses fluxbox and is very happy with it, but she is not really a command line user. However, once in a while she needs to look at her print queue and sometimes delete a print job. lpq and lprm are out of the question, although I suppose I could write a bash script for her to do that easily. Also, I don't want to confuse her with the cups interface as this requires root login to delete print jobs.
Anyone know of a small print queue GUI manager that is lightweight and does not require a load of KDE or Gnome libraries? I don't see one in the AUR that is not KDE based.

Are you sure? Looks like /etc/cups/cupsd.conf can be tweaked, e.g.:
<Limit Send-Document Send-URI Hold-Job Release-Job Restart-Job Purge-Jobs Set-Job-Attributes Create-Job-Subscription Renew-Subscription Cancel-Subscription Get-Notifications Reprocess-Job Cancel-Current-Job Suspend-Current-Job Resume-Job CUPS-Move-Job>
Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM susan
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
<Limit CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer CUPS-Add-Modify-Class CUPS-Delete-Class CUPS-Set-Default>
AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEM susan
Order deny,allow
</Limit>
Where the user you want to allow is named, of course, susan.
This is in cups 1.4.8, anyway. -
Recover file that is on print queue?
I spent about 5 hours typing something yesterday, thinking that I was saving as I worked. As it turns out, I was clicking the little picture of a printer, not the one of a disk. (This is in Microsoft Word.) So the final draft of the file got added to the print queue, but never saved. I can't find a temp file of it, and my computer didn't crash so there's no autorecovery file.
I don't have a printer so it didn't print. Is there a way to get the file from the print queue and save it as a Word file?
(I don't have access to the default printer that it's on the queue for either.)When you closed the file, I think Word should have asked you if you wanted to save the file or not. If you didn't I'm pretty sure you can't get it back. Check the list of recently saved files, they're at the bottom of Word's File menu.
If you double-click your printer in the printer list, you will get a dialog containing a list of "Active" and "Completed" jobs, but this list only gives the names of the files you printed. Unfortunately, this is just a list of names, it can't actually show you where those files exist.
Let me know if this helps
