Laserjet 4si only prints 1 job, then requires restart before printing again, what is the fix?

I have a feeling there is a simple solution, but I don't know where to look or who to turn to for the answer. I have a parallel to USB cable hooked up.
Driver is HP LaserJet 4Si - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7
What am I missing?  Help!

I downloaded the software and installed it.
"The installer has detected 1 USB printer:"
           Unknown Unknown
No matching driver for this device!
Should we skip setting up this printer, or
do you want to select a driver manually?
I then choose "Select Manually"
However there is no HP LaserJet 4Si to choose from the list of printers.
What do I do?

  • Print job starts, stops on last page of job, then finally restarts.

    Hello, I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 (A909), connected via router (ethernet cable). Windows 8, HP Pavillion machine, i5 processor, 64 bit, 6gigs ram
    The print job starts, stops on last page of job, then finally restarts, then starts whole print job over with same results; pausing for about a minute, restarting and finishing job but the driver must detect that the job - still in the queue - is not done and starts again.
    I've swapped ethernet cables with the same results. I can print over the wireless network with other computers and do not have this issue.
    I thought it was a driver issue so I uninstalled/reinstalled HP software, with all available updates, same results.
    The only work around at my disposal now, other than printing from another machine, is to wait for the last page to print and manually clear the queue so the job doesn't print again. Suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hey @DavidWW ,
    Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us! Also thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain the issue, much appreciated. 
    I understand you are having an issue with the last page printing late, the computer not recognizing it, re-printing and so on. You need to print, wait for stall and then last page and then clear queue to stop the printer. That is truly annoying, however; I might have a fix for you in 1 simple post... maybe not, but maybe at least.
    Try the tool I have posted below and run the print fix option.

    If that doesn't fix your issue make sure you let me know and we can continue.

  • Printer jobs won't restart

    Hi there, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a printing problem I'm having.
    I have a 1.42ghz PPC mac mini running ver 10.3.9, my printer is an Epson R200.
    The computer has suddenly developed a fault whereby printing to this printer is not possible, as any time you send a document to the printer the icon with the exclamation point appears in the dock and it says that the printer job queue is stopped. If you click on the button to re-start the jobs, a message comes up for a few seconds saying "opening printer connection" After a few seconds this dissappears and the jobs remain stopped.
    I have tried repairing/verifying permissions , this did not appear to have any effect. I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
    I also downloaded an application called printer setup repair, which allowed me to restore OS X's printing system. This actually seemed to fix the problem, however after printing 2 documents the problem re-surfaced.
    I have ruled out there being any hardware problem with the printer, as I can print perfectly from my powerbook. In fact, the only way I can print to the R200 from the mac mini is by using my powerbook with printer sharing turned on.
    If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix the problem, any input would be most gratefully received.
    Gordo.

    Hello Gordon,
    First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
    `I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
    What are you meaning with I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER??
    On the in-stall CD that came with your printer is a un-installer, you have to use that to get rid of ALL drives. After you finish re-install the printer.
    When you do so unplug everything that is connected to the computer to the printer. Shut down the printer, when everything is back on an plugged in than press the power button on the printer.
    Let me know if so ...
    Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

  • Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s. Can Mavericks be uninstalled?

    Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
    And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
    So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

  • How to set  the CR print job name that displayed in Printer job queue?

    As following image shows, when I press the Print button in Crystal Report Preview GUI,
    a print job is sent to Windows Printer Spool.
    [Windows Printer queue dialog snapshot|http://www.box.net/shared/96vq4qa2mp]
    The "Document Name" in the dialog is like "Crystal Reports - temp_214d9d11-a73f-4872-81f6-b8a63bf0a6b9.rpt".
    I want to know which property of Crystal Reports can be used to set the print job name to a more meaningful one.
    Edited by: Xiaobing Sun on Apr 2, 2009 5:08 AM

    The solution in this thread is for VS .NET as this is the forum for CR in .NET.
    With Foxpro, I suspect you want to create a new thread in the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs forum.
    Make sure you specify the exact version of CR used.

  • I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
    processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
    ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
    Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
    unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
    preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
    Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
    There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
    to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
    still import the JPEGS.

    There is really no "best" setting here for the AirPort Express devices. If you need more wireless coverage in the area where an Express is located, then it makes sense to configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network.
    If you already have good coverage in an area where an Express is located, then the "join" configuration makes sense.
    I've yet to meet the first user who felt that he/she had too much wireless signal coverage in their home, but you never know.

  • Some of the pictures I need to print need to be reversed before printing. How do I do this?

    Some of the pictures I need to print need to be reversede before printing. How do I do this?

    Hmm.. I'm not exactly sure about the black part.. but if your pictures are showing up blurry, are you emailing them to yourself from another computer, and then putting them onto iphoto? Because if you did that, try transfering your pictures by USB. That's what happened to me.
    Hope I helped a bit!

  • Why does Outlook 2010 become non-responsive and freeze up when printing to Acrobat XI?  What is the fix / or work around?

    I just upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Standard XI. Now when I attempt to print e-mails from Outlook 2010, Outlook crashes and becomes "not responding".  I have removed all Adobe software from my machine. Run a repair on Outlook 2010. Reloaded Acrobat XI, and still the MS application hangs up.  I have spent WAY TOO MANY hours screwing around with this. I work at a multi-national company....technical... blah, blah, blah,... $$$, time..., infrastructure...., blah, blah, blah. I have read some about this problem in the forums already... it seems this problem has been in the light.
    Stop holding up the show.... society has enough problems.  We're supposed to be the leaders!
    What is the fix, or at least, what is the work around.

    Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
    The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before.  Don't have a clue why.  I did not make any further changes in anything.  Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

    there is no mirror button,  nor is one hidden underneath anywhere.

    Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do. If you want to mirror, it cannot be turned on within an app. You need to bring up control centre, select airplay and toggle ON mirroring.
