Lightroom unexpectedly won't print

I have been using LR for several years and have never had an issue with printing. Suddenly, I would have to re-enter the job several times, but it would eventually print. Now it won't print at all. I'm printing from a Macbook Pro OS 10.8.5 to an Epson R3000. I haven't changed any settings, cables seem fine. All ideas appreciated.

Hi @SportNSound,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6510 you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue troubleshooting here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge so the reset is not going to help in this case.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
HevnLgh

MacBook won't print PDF files, it states The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1

Question: MacBooK won't print PDF files, after selecting print it states; The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1. I am currently using a HP Deskjet 4400 series printer and it works fine with all our other lap top computers. Thanks for any help.

The pictwpstops filter on OS X machines, converts the job to straight Postscript before the normal CUPS filters get it.
If the Adobe APPs have a choice of what kind of PS to send, like Binary or ASCII, try toggling that setting to the opposite of what it is.
Though, if a reboot fixed it then likely the problem was a remporary bit flip, which may or may not happen again.

My Kodak AiO 3250 won't print since installing OS X Yosemite.

My Kodak AiO 3250 won't print since installing OS X Yosemite. I get error message on printer, "An unexpected error occurred. Check for problem at the printer a ..." Dialogue box ran out of space, couldn't determine the whole message. I've contacted Kodak, no response so far. Any other suggestions?

Hi guys,
This is not Apple's fault. Kodak is the one responsible for updating drivers for their new printers and from what I have heard Kodak is pulling out of the printer business and are behind on updating their drivers. This video on how to install a new printer might help and explains how sometimes old drivers can still work if you don't use air print.

Lightroom 2.3 not printing

On a Mac. Using an Epson R2400 printer.   Works fine w/Photoshop (CS4).   When I go to print an image in Lightroom, it says it's printing; the printer queue shows up with a Lightroom job (briefly), then nothing prints.
Ideas?   I haven't changed any printer settings on my computer, and I just printed 4 images from Photoshop 5 minutes ago absolutely fine. But nothing from Lightroom.
I must be doing something stupid.. Or not doing something.
Feel free to cite as "operator error", but please tell me what the error is.
Thanks

Bob makes a good point.   It might be nice for me to explain what I did to resolve my problem. I'll do my best, but the short answer is, I'm not sure why what I did would make a difference. However, here goes.
First, some details about my exact problem:
I created a contact sheet in LR composed of the same photo repeated 15 times (my daughter wanted reprints of a picture).   I'm running Leopard on this G5 PowerPC, dual monitors, loads of free disk space, and 2G memory. Printer is an Epson R2400 connected by USB. I'm using Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Paper (not that THAT matters), and I specified the printer profile for that printer and that paper in LR. As I said in the original post, I had just printed some other photos from Photoshop CS4 (same printer / paper / profile) a few minutes earlier, so I know that the computer - printer connection was working.
Each time I tried to print from LR, LR would show "rendering" the print job in the upper left of the LR frame, and the print job would briefly (maybe 5 seconds) show up in my printer queue display. Then NOTHING.   I tried printing with LR controlling the colors (even though I know it would look horrible) and got the same result. I tried a different layout (picture packet)...same result. I deleted the printer from Leopard and re-added it while I was in LR. Same result.   I quit LR and restarted LR.   Same result.
Grrrr..
Then, just cause I was bored and frustrated, I started playing with the sliders in the layout for the proof sheet and SLIGHTLY increased the gap between the 15 pictures (layout is 5X3).   Pressed PRINT.
WHAMO.   Picture printed. I swear, that's ALL I did. I haven't had the nerve to change it back for fear it won't print again.
Anyway, not sure this is of any help to anyone, and frankly, I still have a hard time believing that this would make any difference at all. But it did.
Or maybe it's cause I drank a beer. Or cause the sun came out (I live in Seattle).
Good luck.

Canon Pixma Pro 100 won't print

Hopefully someone can help. I just purchased a new Pixma Pro 100 and diligently set it up using a USB connection to my laptop (Windows 8, 64 bit). The printer printed the alignment page fine, but won't print anything else (including a Test Page from the device Properties box). I immediately get an on scree error message when trying to print.
Any thoughts out there?

Unplug the printer for 15 minutes. Unplug it from everything. Don't use My Image Garden. Use Easy Photo Print EX (came with your printer) or some other program.

Appleworks file won't print in Snow Leopard

I recently migrated apps and files from an older iMac to an iMac5,1 (late-2006 model). I use the same HP photosmart 7960 printer. When I send a file to print, one I have printed before with the old iMac, it won't print. I went onto HP's site to download a driver but during installation it says the setup assistant quit unexpectedly. I am trying to print files from Apple Works 6. I can print from Text Edit and from Mail,
Can you help? Thanks.

Fred, I'm sorry, I mistyped about where I look for "get info" on a selected document. I do look under the File menu. It is grayed out as is "About Appleworks" and right clicking/ctrl click doesn't work.
For instance: I select (in Finder) an AW doc created in 2009. Right click doesn't work. File menu, About Appleworks grayed out. I double click to open it. Right clicking brings up usual editing menu. File menu visible but no "get info," About Appleworks says it's version AW 6.2.9. This doc doesn't preview and doesn't print. Then I change font and type size and save. This time it previews (content creator AppleWorks 6, creation date Jan. 10, 2011. AND it prints. I close it and select it again. Right click doesn't work, File menu and About Appleworks still grayed out and the "last opened" says 12/7/09.
glaucous, are you certain you are in Finder when you do this?
If you are in Finder, the Application menu (first to the right of the Apple menu) should be "Finder", and its first item should be "About Finder," not "About AppleWorks."
The only time you will see "About AppleWorks" in the Application menu is when you are 'in' AppleWorks.
It will be greyed when you have a dialogue box (for example, the Open dialogue, or the Save dialogue) open. Under this condition Hide AppleWorks and Hide Others will be the only active items in the Application menu. All items in the File menu will be greyed, as will be all items in Edit and Window menus. Help will show AppleWorks Help as an active item. And, as you note, right-clicking the file name or icon will have no effect (other than selecting the file), and double-clicking the file will open it (in the Open dialogue).

Barry

HP Z3100 won't print black borders

Since upgrading to OS 10.8, HP's Z3100 printer won't print a black keyline or black border of any width around images from Adobe Lightroom 4. Any other color border or keyline prints OK. Others have reported this problem when printing to a Z3100 from Photoshop CS5, although I have not had this experience. Prior to OS 10.8 black keylines around Lightroom images printed wiothout problem.
Any help would be appreciated since my entire portfolio uses keylines around photos.

I have this problem as well, except I'm still running 10.7.5 on this laptop here.
I've done further analysis on the issue, and its not just a simple matter of a black border. It's something more bizzare:
Imagine a laser line coming down from the top of the page... if the first bit of ink (ie, non white) it runs into is black, then all the black the line is touching, plus all the black connected to that, is not printed.
Ie, if the border was dotted, then only the top border around the image is removed... if there was, say, a tiny green square at the top left of the page, above the black border, then the entire border is printed as expected. Yes, it's that bizzare.
If the border was added as a vector, then generally the entire border is gone. If it was part of the raster image, then some or most of the border will be removed... starts to get a little non-deterministic at that point.
What is odd, though, is the gentleman I bought the printer from had no such problems, and he's been upgrading from 10.5 through 10.8. So... there's something else, weird, going on.
And, yes, I just tried resetting my print subsystem... no luck... problem still persists.

Printer won't print too- need a new printer head. i want to know if you have one in stock

Hi, my printer won't print and the error message states "bad printerhead". My printer model is HP officejet d 155xi. I need to know how much it costs or would it be cheaper to buy a new printer. Still have four cartridges of ink. Please advise. Thanks.

HI,
You can find the General prices for the printheads HERE, if you only have to replace one its ok, but keep in mind that the other printhead are likely to be just as old and might break down as wel.

I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

goestherain,
I need to know what operating system you are using to helps narrow troubleshooting a bit, what OS are you running?

Deskjet 3050 Won't Print Wirelessly

Hi there,
My new all in one 3050 won't print for me. It is "Offline" in the network page. I feel I have explored every avenue and it will still not print. The wireless network configuration page I printed says everything passed. The home network disagnostic tool says "software missing" after i click test connection. The print diagnostic tool fails on connectivity everytime. I can connect to the printer ip 192.168.1.3 in the browser 95% of the time but not always. My router is a Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3. I'm really close to tears with frustration, I'm quite computer and networking savvy but I cannot fix this. please help, I'd be eternally grateful.
Kind Regards,
Larry.

Remote laptop won't print to new HP4622 wireless printer

My new HP 4622 won't print from wife's laptop (Compaq Presario CQ-60-224NR w/ Windows Vista) in another part of the house on my home Centurylink DSL network with very good connectivity. I have the printer installed at my desktop (Gateway Microsoft XP SP3) and it prints fine from the desktop. Does the printer software also need to be installed on the laptop? I sent a .jpg file to the printer from the laptop and it printed one line of unicode? code per page until I cancelled the job from the print queue. I have gone thru the installation guide a couple of times and nothing is fixed. Test results say that everything passed and install is successful. I downloaded and tried the print doctor wizard and it says no problems found. I have McAfee total protection running, could there be a firewall problem? I'm not sure about enabling ports or that sort of thing. I dumped a perfectly good Lexmark X7170 all-in-one because it wasn't wireless and we couldn't get it configured to print peer-to-peer. Now I have a new wireless printer and con't get to print remotely either. Hope you can help. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi Ken,
I would recommend giving the printer a static IP address for the wireless connection (not USB):
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you will have delete and re-add the printer on your computer. Do it this way:
0. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
If you're still experiencing issues try changing the channel on your router to 11 and the encyption to WPA.
