LaserWriter 630 only prints the vertical lines test page

I have resurrected a LaserWriter 630 pro that hasn't been used for a year or so, which starts up and the green ready light comes on. When I print to it, the pages come out blank. I have tried printing a simple text file, which was blank, and a one page PDF (simple text also). In the end the PDF took so long to process I cancelled it. Should it take this long?
The only ink I can get it to leave on the page is the first page of the paperclip-in-hole test page. It then prints a second page which is blank. Any ideas?
I have a copy of the Apple Printer Utility, and have printed it's font test page, which is blank also.
Any ideas?
James

Dear Grant,
Thank you for the info, I hadnt found that detail anywhere. I will try it when I get home.
I think the laserwriter is a great printer, and wouldnt swap it for a brand new one unless it caught fire!
I gave it to my mother 2 years ago who used it for a while, then bought a colour inkjet and it ended up unused for a year or so. I have just taken it back to replace a much newer but much more irritating colour laser I found at the dump. I believe the last time it was used it worked perfectly. I gave it a new set of rollers about two years ago.
I am not afraid of a bit of multimeter probing!
Thanks,
James

Will only print the first line or so to a HP Officejet Pro K550

The Mac has been connected for a number of years to the printer, but suddenly it started to only print the top line or so of a text. The problem occurred later in the day having worked fine in the morning.
The self test for the printer works fine, producing a full test sheet, including all colours (and there is no indication that ink is running low).
It looks as if it is almost certainly a problem with the Mac itself, especially since the printer works with other, non-Mac - laptops.

Run Software Update and see if there are any new drivers available. If none appear then follow Apple's steps in Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system

D110 only prints the first line.

If I send an item to the printer, it only prints the title. I have tried to copy to notepad and pasted to an email. Then sent it to the printer thru an email. It only prints the first line. How do I get it to print the whole item?

Check your print dialog box, see if Even Pages Only has gotten selected.

I only print the top line and bottom line, content in middle doesn't print

When I print an email only the very top line at the top of the page prints and the very bottom line at the very bottom of the page print. For example the bottom line says page 1 of 1 and then on the other side the date and time. Top line has the web address. When I open internet explorer and print and email I have no problems. This just started out of the blue a few updates ago.

If there isn't a Page Setup in the Print Dialog, open Text Edit>Edit>Page Setup, check borders there or use Custom Page setup & save.

Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

I want to print an email which has multi pages but I can only print the first page

Can anyone help please?

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

Reason behind the Vertical lines while iphone asleep

Whenever my iphone was asleep for more than 10 or 15 min, some vertical lines appeared on the screen to last only a few seconds and then dissapear. I had no idea why this happened until a couple of minutes ago.
I noticed that although they only lasted a few seconds, it was definitely a pattern.
I now know what is the source of the problem.
*I had configured my iphone to fetch data every 15 min (since my gmail account is not push). As soon as the phone was asleep, whenever it was time for the iphone to fetch data (while asleep), the vertical lines appeared. Now I know that it happens only when I have that option ON, since when I changed it to fetch manually, the lines did not show.*
Any ideas why this happens? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Hi. I recently updated to software vesion 2.0.2 and started to notice the vertical lines you describe. I had never noticed them before. I have spoken to Apple iPhone tech support and they say they have never heard of this issue. They have asked me to do a restore on the phone via iTunes to see if it is a software or hardware issue. If it still happens after restore they told me to go to Apple store to see about a possible replacement. I have tried the resore and so far I haven't noticed the lines but it is early days.
By the way I have noticed the lines appear randomly and sometimes when I receive an email and get the audible signal I can see them.
Let me know how you get on if you try to restore iPhone

When i send a page from a website to my printers email address, it only prints the url not the page

I have a Photosmart D110 all in one and just bought a Asus Transformer tablet. I`ve downloaded the eprint app and every time I share a page from a website via email to my printers email address it only prints the URL not the actual webpage. Also when I click the share option it gives me the option to share with the eprint app, but when I do it say it can't read or support the file due to paper size not being selected.

Hi,
The HP ePrint does not support web pages printing
Printing Web pages through email is currently not supported. HP is in the process of developing solutions to support Web page printing for mobile devices.

You may print web pages using the HP ePrint Home & Biz app by using its integrated web browser:

Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.
I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.
The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to
print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.
I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several
times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.
Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".
I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that
option is not even available.
The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

Hi James,
Did this printer work correctly before ?
To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
Considering it is a USB device ,plug in with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
Please check whether the Event Viewer contains errors or warnings related to this issue .
I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

Awesome. Rebooting the phone worked. I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown). thank you for your help.
