LaserJet 2600n won't print Ms. Word doc, Publisher, nor excel. Sends paper thru, but no print on it.

My HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer won’t print a Microsoft Word document, nor a Microsoft Office Publisher, any longer. When I try printing a Word document in `either black or colors, the printer sends the paper through, but no print is on the paper. When I click “Properties” in the print dialog box, I get a pop-up window saying, “Word cannot bring up the properties dialog because the printer returned an error.”
I reinstalled the printer driver, and restarted my computer, but this did not help. None of the trouble shooting actions helped.
However, it does print from notepad. But when I tried to print a Ms Excel document, the error box said, “Current printer is unavailable. Select another printer.” And when try to print a pdf file, I get message, “Adobe Reader stopped working.”
I use a 64-bit Toshiba Satellite P505 with Windows 7.
Please advise.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...

IMac won't print microsoft word doc "open with" apple pages

When its set to open with pages it just freezes the pages program and wont print. If I set it to open with textedit or some other program then it will print. Note, if I open it first with pages then it will print from within pages. It just wont print using file > print from the apple menu. Whats the fix for this? Currently I have it set to open all word docs in LibreOffice in order to print docs with ease. But I would rather use apple pages app.

Trying to print in iPhoto. Tells me no theme is installed but no print box comes up

Trying to print in iPhoto. Tells me no theme is installed but no print box comes up. Able to print from preview so it is not my printer

Thanks for the suggestion Larry. This discussion is for iPhoto 7, and says to do a custom install using the system disk that came with my computer. Since I recently installed iPhoto 11 from iLife, should instead reinstall from the iLife disk, rather than the system disk that came with my computer?
Yes
Also, I just want to make sure that in deleting all the files listed in this discussion, that I won't be deleting my photos. Thanks!
You will not be deleting any photos or data about them - they are in your iPhoto library and you should not be going into it -- ever

5520 turns on and paper runs thru but nothing prints

I have a 5520. It has HP cartirges. I didn't use it for awhile and now it won't print black or colors. The paper runs thru but nothing prints. I use Windows 7 and this the second time this has happened to me with a HP printer! The last time I was able to remove the printhead and clean it. The insructions for the 5520 indicate you can't remove the printhead, but somewhere on this forum were instructions how to clean it by yourself. just my luck I can't find that post. I've run all the recommended HP solutions and none of them work. Any suggestions because I'm fed up with HP printers.

Hi @chico1119 and welcome to the HP Forums!
I'm sorry to hear that your Photosmart 5520 has been having issues printing black, but I will certainly do my best to help you out and hopefully get this resolved
You had mentioned you tried all the recommended solutions. Are those solutions the steps contained within this Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink document?
Once you've verified that for me, can you also let me know which country you're in? Thanks so much, hope to talk with you soon!

I set my printing size on PS Elements 10 for a certain size, but it prints 1/4 inch larger?

I set my printing size on PS Elements 10 for a certain size, but it prints 1/4 inch larger?

In addition of Hatstead suggestion my Suggestions are following:
1. From your Printer's Preferences uncheck the Borderless check box (if checked already).
2. After launching the Print dialog, click on More Option button, then under Printing choice tab make sure that Border section has all check box unchecked.
3. Uncheck the "Crop to Fit" check box if it is checked.

Using PDF Printer TO Print Multiple Word Docs At Once.

I Have Just upgraded from acrobat to acrobat 3d. In Acrobat 5 i was able to select a batch of word document (150+ usually) and use the send to command to send them to the acrobat distiller and each document would open one at a time print and then close. I have now been upgraded to Acroabat 3D and if i use the same Send to Command to send a batch of word docs to the pdf printer it tries to open all the selected files at once and i get an error message "the command cannot be performened because a dialog box is open..." this is because the 1st document is open and printing so the secound document that opened at the same time cannot operate the print command. Can Anyone help?

Thanks for the suggestion but...
1. I can't get these scripts to run in 10.4.8
What if you save the script as a stand alone app? Does that make a difference?
2. I haven't spent much timr trying since it looks
like thy only convert "JPEG", "GIFf", "PICT", "TIFF",
"PDF" & "TEXT". Am I wrong?
That's what it looks like from the "extension-list" - what type of files are you trying to convert?

Insert a PDF ro Word doc into an Excel sheet

I have to track parts. I created a spreadsheet to do this. We are trying to as paparless as possible is my office. I need to insert a PDF copy or the actual Word doc into the spreadsheet so my techs can access it and indicate that the
parts have arrived. This spreadsheet is on a SharePoint site and so are the PDF or Word copies of the documents that the techs need. Inserting a hyperlink will pull the PDF doc up in another web tab which is what I don't want.
I need to be able to pull the docs up and modify them and save them back to the SharePoint file. Help! THANKS!!!!

Have you considered using a SharePoint list instead of an excel spreadsheet? You can then attach one or many documents to each row in the list.

Print Word Doc to Acrobat 9.4.5 fails on 2nd printing

The oddest behavior is happening, any advice to trouble should would be greatly appreciated.
When I print a 133 page Word 2010 document with images, text boxes and text, etc. It prints to the distiller/virtual printer fine ONCE -- but then if I print again to the PDF distiller/virtual printer the text inside the text boxes won't print.
While troubleshooting and making sure all drivers, MS office, and Acrobat was up to date I discovered that after a restart the document prints fine. I also noticed while watching the print progress window that the bar moved slower on the first print job and almost twice as fast on the second job which subsequently had missing text inside the text boxes created by word 2010. I have checked all settings in word and it should print everything and does ONCE.
What gives, anyone?
Thanks in advance
Darrell

Acrobat is a 32bit app. Your app needs to be too.

Pdf file won't convert to word.doc but gives me no error code to fix it

I'm using ExportPDF and when I try to access a file to convert from pdf to word document, it won't allow but doesn't give me an error code so I can find out why it won't open.

Hi Harri,
Would you mind providing more information?
What was the original document type before becoming a PDF? Is it a scanned copy?
How large is the file?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

Pages won't open a Word doc

I saved a Pages '09 version 4.0 document as Word on my wife's MacBook Air, OS 10.6.8. I now get an error message saying that Pages can't open this document. It will open in TextEdit, why not in Pages?

Apple has the iWork 9.1 updater if you are on OS X 10.6.8, or Lion (10.7.3 or less). The iWork 9.3 updater requires OS X 10.7.4 or later, and provides the last update to the iWork '09 DVD applications (e.g. Pages v4.3, Numbers 2.3, and Keynote 5.3).

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.

Text Hyperlink from PDF (converted Word doc) to specific Excel cell in same Portfolio

Good Morning,
I have created a Word document with an embedded Excel sheet (both Office 2007) and created a text hyperlink within the document that points to a specific cell on a specific tab. My company wants to send our document to a customer, but will only send PDFs. When converting to PDF the hyperlink does not work any longer.
To make the behaviour in Word one must open the embedded Excel object to the specific sheet and then copy the specific cell in question. In Word choose Paste as Hyperlink. Press Alt+F9 and then change HYPERLINK to hyperLINK. Press Alt+F9. Edit the Settings of the Hyperlink and change the Text to Display.
Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 10? The plus side would be that the Excel document would not be embedded in Word although it would still need the Document ID of the Excel file in the portfolio. Futhermore, the Word document won't be included in the portfolio.

While Acrobat cannot pass opening parameters to non-PDF files it can do so for PDF (under specific circumstances).
See the "Parameters for Opening PDF Files" document at:

Linking Excel to Word - Word doc updates the numbers in a table but the format (font colours) do not update

I am using Office 2010. I have many graphs and linked tables to a master word document from Excel. The tables contain percentages and are formatted red if under -2.5%, yellow if between -2.5% and +2.5% and green if over +2.5%. The colours are correct
in Excel but when I refresh the word document, the numbers update but the font colours do not. The purpose of linking was to save time but if the colours do not update then the link is pointless. Is there any way to ensure the colours update as well as the
values?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I have a couple of questions:
Do you mind telling me how do you copy/link between Excel and Word?
Where did you store the Word and Excel file? Both of local disk or network drive, even website?
Did you using conditional formatting to display/format percentages?
Based on my tested, please try the following steps, it would be update all the information after the source was changed.
Select the table/chart in Excel> Open word >Copy>Paste>Choose Link & Keep Source Formatting.(See image 1)
If we changed the source data in Excel, then right click the table in Word> Choose update Link. (See image 2)
Then the data, format, font and color all will be updated.
Hope this should help you.

George Zhao
