LaserJet Printer error "21 Print Overrun" when printing bitmap reports

I have some bitmap based Oracle Reports developed in Reports 2.5 and upgraded to 3.0. They were displayed correctly on screen. However, when they were printed to a HP LaserJet 4 SiMX (10Mb RAM) printer, the lower part of some pages or the last column of a page were missing. I received en error message "21 Print Overrun" on the LCD display panel of the printer. Is there anyway to correct this problem? (I do not want to convert these reports to character based and re-do all the report layouts)
Thanks for any suggestion.

Greetings,
I'm sorry to hear your nearly 15 year old printer is squeaking so loudly. I helped develop that printer and it’s always sad to hear that one is failing a customer. I fear I won't be able to help you root cause the problem, but I’ll certainly try. Here are some things to try::
1) Try installing a different toner cartridge. Sometimes the drum / seals / etc can make a noise.
2) Try isolating the noise to a component in the printer. Take a picture of the component and post it.
3) As I recall, the 5m printer has a replaceable fuser. It’s possible that the gears / rollers are worn to the point of making noise.
4) Try searching the internet for solutions to squeaks of other LaserJet models such as the LaserJet 4, 4+, 4000, 4050
For instance, here’s a link you might try: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpl12433&prodTypeId=18972&pro...
Good luck!

Print Templates print preview window closes unexpectly when printing document

This is a cross posting from Internet Explorer Web Development after a suggestion that this forum would be a better location. See
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/351e1245-b606-4467-9f3c-1c72f9cdf9ea/print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document?forum=iewebdevelopment.
I have raised an issue through Connect for this:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1134168/ie9-to-ie11-print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document, but I would like some more visibility of the issue as my customers thought my application was closing when
they printed a document. I also don't know if an issue in Connect gets any priority support via MSDN, but this forum does.
This looks to me like a problem in the IE Print Templates startDoc API call, but if there is a more appropriate forum to raise this issue in please let me know.
In the application where I use print templates, the window closing is not in it self a problem because the Javascript that is calling startDoc also closes the Print Preview window when the print is finished.
The fact that the application looses focus and can be hidden by the windows of other applications when the Print Preview window is closed by startDoc is the issue noticed by our customers, so I need a fix preferably, or a work around at a pinch.
Details of the issue reproduced below.
When using IE Print Templates, the startDoc function is causing the print preview window to close. This behaviour started with IE9, and is still present with IE11.
When an application is using print templates (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx) for print functionality, this has the effect of causing the application to become hidden by any other application window once printing from the print preview window has started. It is
actually this behaviour that started me looking at this issue as the users thought the hosting application had closed.
Print Templates are not accessible by using IE as a web browser, but only when using the WebBrowser Control to embed IE in an application. The reference for this feature is available from this url:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx
and a sample Microsoft application that demonstrates the use of Print Templates can be used to demonstrate the problem (required for the reproduction steps). The application is available via this article and searching for "download spiffy".
Steps to reproduce the problem:
To see the full effect of the issue, first ensure there is a window from another application (like Windows Explorer) that will cover the sample applications window if brought to the foreground (making the Windows Explorer window full screen works).
Start the sample application (and ensure that the full screen Window Explorer is the next application to activate).
Then in the drop down box in the top right corner of the UI select Template8.htm.
Click the Print Preview button that is just below the drop down box (this will open a new Print Preview window).
In the new window click the Print… button (this will open a Print dialog).
Click the Print button at the bottom of the Print dialog.
The Print dialog closes (expected) and then the Print Preview window also closes (not expected), however the document is still printed successfully.
When the Print Preview windows is closed unexpectedly, the Windows Explorer window is brought to the foreground (obscuring the sample applications window).
If you reselect the sample application and click the Print Preview button again, the Print Preview dialog is not displayed unless you restart the application (this looks to be a symptom of the same issue, not a separate problem).
To see that the Print Preview window appears to be closed by the startDoc call, use the resource editor in Visual Studio (the exe can be opened directly by File | Open | File…) to edit the HTML resource "TEMPLATE8.HTM" (I found I needed to delete
it and add it back in for the change to stick), find the startDoc call and add two alerts, one on the line before and one on the line after. When IE is accessing the template, it is being done using the name of the executable (so do not rename the modified
version of printtemplates.exe, make the changes to a copy in a different directory if you don't want to change the original). Start the modified version of the application and follow the same steps as in the reproduction. This time, after clicking
the Print button in the Print dialog, the dialog will close, the first alert will pop up, then the Print Preview window will close, then
the second alert will pop up.
Thank you,
Warren.

Hi Shu,
I have noticed that the print templates API is listed as part of the Legacy APIs.
Is this just because it hasn't changed or is not new? Or does this mean that it is no longer maintained and may be removed (or at least deprecated) at some point in the future?
It would good to know if we should start planning for the implementation of a different method of printing.
I understand that the sample application is no longer maintained, but I also think that the Print Template API that it uses has not changed, and so should still work (and it does mostly).
If the Print Preview window was being closed as a result of using the Print dialog (and if it had behaved the same way with IE8) I would be willing to go with the by design argument.
I have found that the Print Preview window is not closed until startDoc is called, and it closes before control is returned from the startDoc function.
Just as part of investigating and try to find a workaround, if I call window.close(), any alert calls made no longer display the alert window after the close call.
Alert still functions after startDoc has closed the window however.
The is not the sort of consistent behaviour I would expect from something that is by design.
Also while investigating, I found that calling startDoc after calling window.close() results in an exception with the error code -2147467259 (0x80004005), this is probably quite normal and expected, but does indicate that the Web Browser Control should
not be closed till after printing.
I had found that old thread, and I had concluded it was the same issue, but it was also aimed at different aspect of the problem (which I see in the sample application, but not my application).
The visible issue I have is that my users think the application has been closed because after clicking print (on the Print dialog) the application gets hidden by other windows from other applications.
This aspect affects the sample in the same manner and so it was a convenient way to demonstrate the problem.
If IE connect do not look at this issue any time soon, do I have any other avenues to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Warren.

Giant print font from internet programs when printing with Firefox

When printing from any internet application when I use the print hot link or the printer from the tool bar the print is GIGANTIC. A single page prints on 4 pages. I logged in to Internet Explorer and I do not have this problem from that browser. I went to about:config and reset the printer and still the same problem. I have printed from maps.google.com, from my online banking and credit card apps. When printing from email and printing .pds' no problem. When print Word documents, no problem. Something changed in Firefox and I can't find it for the life of and I am wasting a lot of paper. Please advise.

Please check you are logged in, and try again.

Printer Preferences is not available when printing PDF

Printer Preferences is not available when printing PDF
I have a PSC 1315 printer I have been using for several years on a system with Windows XP without any problem. After
purchasing an HP Pavilion 500 with Windows 8.1 Pro, I migrated my printer to the new computer. I was disallowed to use the
original driver, and was directed to download the latest driver and software for this printer from an HP website. At
first, things seemed ok, until I ran across several issues, one of which is this one.
Whenever I try printing a PDF file, Windows 8 does not let me see printer preferences. My work around is to go into
printer properties and save changes as default, then I can print PDF files. What happened to the preferences window? It
appears I have lost functionality with the upgrade.
Is this a known problem, and what's the solution?

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Job error in external Service when printing from Google Cloud: HP Laserjet Professional P 1102w

I have set up my printer and associated it with Google Cloud Printing. I have shared the printer with my daughter who is on a chromebook. When she tries to print, the printer is there and the job is sent to ePrint bu I get an error saying: "job error in external service". No documents are able to print. Google says this is an HP problem.
I have deleted the printer on my daughters account and re-shared it and reassociated it, but this does not help. On my printers page, my daughter's google account is identified as "allowed to print". But it still doesnt work. Any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello mapuche,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Will the Laserjet P1102w accept an ePrint from any / all other areas? For example, if (on the Chromebook) you open an Email, forward the Email to the printers ePrint address, will it print?
Try logging into HPConnected, under Devices, click Settings> Open to Anyone.
Try sending a print via Google Cloud Print now with this setting enabled, let me know if it sends the print through. I have seen this straighten many issues out.
Would not be a bad idea to check for firmware updates on the printer too: HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility<---A USB connection and Windows computer is needed.

Hi Denes and Scott,
sorry, only when i select the values for all the 4 select list
csv is working. default values are not restored in the session.
How to restore the values in the session state after pressing the search button.
i have set the default values for the select list and the query is working fine
but when i see the session from the toolbar the default values are not present.
but when i see the debug from the toolbar the values are set properly.
@Denes
In your example the session is showing the values of the select list and check box
The same way i did, but in "session" values are not seen so again no data found is seen when printing csv .

Hp color laserjet 2600n, very dim grayish film when printing black only

For some reason, my hp color laserjet 2600n has started printing with a very dim grayish film over each page. I've had this printer for about a year, and it didn't do this at first. Does it no matter what program I print from. I'm sure it's a setting issue, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any ideas?
And, when I select to print in black only, it still prints the color on web pages. Is there a way to print from only the black cartridge? These are the options in the printer dialogue box under color: print in grayscale, black only, 4-color. Under these settings are other options, edge control, half-tone and RGB color. I've tried each setting individually and still the gray film. The only other possibility I can see is under Print Options, it has draft quality or image quality. I've tried both and still the film.
Have any ideas.

1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
2. let it run to initializing.
3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
Cheers

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7. When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3. The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
It works alright on Windows XP.

Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver. Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution

Software error in Adobe Reader when printing

When printing a scan from a book (A3 format horisontal) the Print dialog offers a preview where I can see the selection to be printed. Left side of the horisontal A3 (which is a vertical A4).
When rotating the page 180º I can turn the right side of the page into the active window (not blurred red rectangle) in the preview to be printed.
What is odd is that not only does it not work, but it always print the right handside of the original view.
This is not at first glance a printer driver error as I have tried several printer.
I use Win7 pro and Reader 9.4.1

yes i have the latest version, however I notes somthing in document properties see the following :
when i open document in xp this is the properties
and when i open it in windows 7, i got this:
note that arabic transparent-bold, actual font type :Unkown??!!!! why ?

Fatal error on Deskjet F2430 when printing fast draft of Adobe reader document

Printed the first couple of lines and then freezes with fatal error lights blinking. I tried reseting it a couple of times like the online trouble shooter recommends. Finally I turned off fast draft and it worked fine. Any ideas what the problem is?

There is a known issue with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.
The new version contains an option to "print on both sides of the paper" - this option is ticked by default and causes an error on some models of printer that don't have the ability to duplex print.
When selecting File > Print - look about half way down the dialog box and you should see an option for "print on both sides of the paper" with a ticked box.
Take the tick out of this box and then try printing again. It should work correctly now.

Printer Icon not in dock when printing - cannot access queue

Suddenly no printer icon is in the dock when printing.
In case of an error, I cannot access the problem.
I cannot access the queue.
What's more: the printer just printed an image - but not the image that I commanded to print.
It was the image that I printed a week ago - he just printed it again.
I cannot find the printer utility in "scan and print".
How can I make the printer utility appear?

Problem solved.
Suddenly the button "printer cue" was there - which was absent until now.
I dragged the print queue window to the dock, and to make sure it stays there I added it through "keep in dock" to the dock.
There was no option to remove this thread.
