Jobs show twice in print queue - won't delete and won't print

I have an HP Laserjet P1006 running on a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit.  Printer has worked fine for 8 months but recently ran into problems. 
When I send a print job to it, the printer doesn't print.  If I open up the print queue, the job shows up twice.  If I try to delete the jobs, they don't delete.  I can use the HP Print Diagnostic Utility to get the jobs cleared out of the queue, but the same thing happens the next time I try to print something. 
A Few Other Items to Note:
- I don't get any error lights on the printer. 
- I brought home a laptop from home running XP and installed the printer using the CD.  The printer worked fine with that computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the printer hardware.
- I have tried uninstalling the printer, both using the CD that came with it and with the latest drivers/software from the website.  Didn't do anything (same problem occurs when printing a test page).
- HP Print Diagnostic Utility doesn't find anything wrong.  Likewise, if I right click on the printer and click Troubleshoot, that doesn't help either.
- I've tried restarting the print spooler, but that didn't do anything. 

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!

  • Random print jobs showing up in print queue when printing...

    Whenever I print something, one or two other random files will show up in the print queue.  The printer will not try and print these additional jobs, and it does not prevent another print job from printing, but each time more random files will show up.  The print queue will fill up with these additional jobs until they are manually deleted.  What a pain.  Does anyone have a solution???

    These random files can be communication files and are used to interogate the printer about its status. Typically they will be processed by the printer and then vanish from the print queue. So if they are not being processed and you are having to manually remove them then there could be a setting in the printer that needs to be changed or you have to check from an updated driver.
    To confirm if it is the printer queue / driver that is checking the status, you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. You can then select the printer in the top right pane and see its information in the bottom right pane (or if this is the only printer you have the information will appear in the right pane). You will see an entry called Printer Commands. If it shows something like Report Levels then this confirms that these files you are seeing are for checking the printer status.

  • How to cancel printing jobs that are in the queue? Model is : HP Laserjet 3055

    I wanted to print a 200 page book from my laptop, so I pluged in the printer to the laptop and pressed print on laptop. Then immediately decided not to print it, so I pressed cancel on printer. But the job has not been canceled at all. Every time I try to print something the it always starts with the job I wanted to cancel in the beginning. And on the laptop the message block asks if I wish to add to printing queue.

  • Print Job visibility on shared print queues

    Hello all,
    Quick scenario, where print server has a print queue shared with several clients. Each user is sending jobs using this shared queue. Is it possible that users only see their print jobs when opening the print queue, instead of all jobs, from other users,
    being sent to that print queue.
    I am aware that you can mask the job title and job owner, from the driver prespective. Nevertheless I am wondering if there is something from a service or policy prespective that can be applied globally to all printer, independely of the print driver in
    use.
    Thanks

    Yes.   The client will not matter.  The driver version or Type will not matter.
    The documentation is extremely limited.  Most of the 2012 What's new in..... was overwritten with the What's new in 2012R2.
    But what the heck.  I always go the extra mile for people wishing to deploy print servers.   There has been a patch release where you can add the true document name in the print event logged.  There are ways to determine the queue view
    true document name but code would need to be written and compiled.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134163.aspx
    When printing to a Windows Server 2012 print queue, only users with administrator permissions on the print queue (full system administrator or delegated print administrator, see
    Assign Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2012) will see readable document names when viewing the print queue.  Users can still view the
    queue from their client computer and will see their own document name in full, but for other user’s print jobs they will see
    Print Document for the document name.
    Additionally, in most cases in the event log on the server, the document name will also appear as
    Print Document.  However, in some job failure cases, the document name will be listed in the failure event.

  • Word for mac won't show doc in print preview and prints blank page.

    I have a document from layoutready.com that I have been editing and it is a .doc file originally and won't show up. I've tried saving it as .docx and still nothing. Also, when I create a new document and put in a shape or a text box, it won't show up in print preview or print either. Excel is fine. I can insert a shape onto a worksheet and previews and prints fine. I have sent a document to a friend to test and when they open it in their word (on a pc) it previews and prints fine.

    Before you tear out your hair, follow the steps that Casper recommends. It works in minutes. The reformatting will mean you will have to reload your music, but that's better than tearing out your hair for sure.

  • My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

    My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on.  My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

    I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
    To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
    Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
    Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
    Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
    Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
    Best of luck,

  • How to schedule the background job daily twice?

    Hi,
    How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
    Regards,
    Srihitha

    see the step by step procedure.
    Scheduling Background Jobs:
    1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
    2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
    and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
    scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
    company codes).
    3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
    (Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
    to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
    a. Time of printing: set to “Send to SAP spooler Only for now”
    b. Name – abbreviated name to identify the job output
    c. Title – free form description for the report output
    d. Authorization – a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
    this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
    authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
    e. Department – set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
    a search later.
    f. Retention period – set to “Do not delete” if the report output needs to be retained for more
    than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
    be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
    could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
    Configuring user access:
    1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
    least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
    name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
    that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
    SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
    2. To access a particular job’s output in the spool, the user must have
    S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
    in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
    3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
    controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
    BASE access (display).
    On-line reports:
    1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
    from R/3. If a user clicks “Parameters” button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
    allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
    “Scheduling background jobs” section. Thus any output created by an online report
    can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
    (access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
    attributes, see p. 3.d of “Scheduling background jobs” section).
    Access to report’s output:
    1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
    retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
    2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking “Further selection
    criteria…” button (e.g. to bring “Spool request name (suffix 2)” field or hide other
    fields).
    3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
    Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled job’s outputs)
    a. Spool request name (suffix 2) – corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
    “Scheduling background jobs” section above).
    b. Date created – to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
    c. Title – corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in “Scheduling background jobs”
    section above).
    d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in “Scheduling
    background jobs” section above).
    4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
    retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
    5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
    content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
    request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
    Configuring user access)
    a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
    (usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
    specified when a job was created.
    b. Click the “Print with changed attributed” button to print the spool request
    with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
    c. Click the “Display contents” button to preview the spool request contents. A
    Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

  • PDF annotation with link, image doesn't show, only in print or Google Chrome, not Adobe Reader main

    We are creating PDF files with annotations, we are using the O2 Solutions PDF Library for C#. We used to create PDFStampAnnotations, but now we want to make the images clickable, to navigate to the URL belonging to the image.
    Therefore, we are now using PDFLinkAnnotations, with a PDFImageAppearance.
    We set the flags of the annotation to Print.
    However, the annotation won't show in the PDF in Adobe Reader. It does show in the Google Chrome inline PDF viewer.
    It also shows in the print preview window in Adobe Reader.
    But it does not show in the normal view in Adobe Reader. What we do see is, when hovering over the rectangle that should contain our image, our mouse cursor becomes a hand and a tooltip with the link is displayed. If we click, everything works as expected. But we don't see an image!
    What can we do about this? This is really annoying, as I don't have a clue why it won't work. Actually, to me, this looks like a bug in Adobe Reader?

    Thank  you for your reply.
    Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
    However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?
