MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

Hello Everyone!
I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6)  can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello! 
I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
Please respond soon.__________________________________________

Hello again!
I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
Chris

    No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing  and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

    I accidentally solved my mystery.  For some reason it was set to "print to file".  I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

  • Is there any way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?

    Is there a way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?  When the print screen drops down, it covers the page and the info needed to create the file.  Thank you

    You will find that this is application dependent.  Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring.  There is no way for the user to change that behavior.  Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc.  The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

  • Can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion

    can't install from application install dvd and i can't update to 10.6.8 after i restore my macbook pro from mountain lion. when restart and i press command it still has recovery mountain lion show on my screen.

    What model is the MBP? Did it come with OS 10.6 or a later OS? Is the install DVD one that came with it or something else?
    You can't run an OS older than Mac on it.
    But if came with 10.6 installed & you have the system discs, you should be able to erase the drive & reinstall the original OS.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

  • Odbc connection test success but can't link the database to oracle with 1013 call failed error.

    i am using my MS Access 2013 to connect with my oracle database. I created the odbc link and successfully have connection test pass. However i can;t link the database with my MS access. When i am using different software (mapinfo), i am able to connect to oracle database. The error is"1013: user requested cancel of current operation"

    In MS access, i open the external data and select odbc. Select my odbc link created previously, enter the password and after a while the error message pop up.
    But if i am using another tools, such as SQL Developer or Mapinfo, i will able to connect to oracle database using the same odbc link.

  • Bonjour finds the printer, still can't print

    Ok, here's the situation. I am having no luck with printing from the XP SP2 side of bootcamp. I have the printer connected to an Airport Express (a few years old). The HP printer was purchased with the MBP just a few months ago. Everything works just fine on the mac side. And everything except the printer works just fine on the XP side. On the XP side it seems like everything is set up properly. I can surf the web, airport utility shows the printer, bonjour can find it, it creates the printer. I do a test print and nothing. It just says the document has failed to print. Doing some searching on the forums, it was suggested to use the actual port ID...did that, same error message. I've tried every suggestion I found ....always the same result. Well, when the printer is directly connected to the MBP, it works no problem. Wirelessly through the Express is the issue. Anyone have similar problems? Or more to the point, do you know the solution? I could really use any help on this.

    You may have "installed" the printer on your Mac (when it was connected directly to the MAC), but have you "installed" the printer again on your Mac with it connected to the AirPort Extreme?
    If you have previously installed the printer on your Mac and now install it on the AirPort using your Mac.....it will appear that you have installed the printer twice on your Mac.
    But, that is not the case, you have it installed at the Mac and installed at the AirPort. Be sure to choose the "correct" printer location when you try to print.

  • Major Printing Problem - Can't Print in any App, with Any Printers

    I help my Aunt with her three Macs (2 eMacs, 1 MacBook, all running 10.4.8 right now) at her office, and she had me come to help recently because one of the eMacs stopped printing anything; here's what happens:
    In every app besides Word (e.g. Safari, TextEdit, AppleWorks, etc.): If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' the cursor turns into the spinning rainbow for a few seconds, and nothing happens (meaning I can do anything I want in the application, as if nothing at all happened).
    In Word: If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' Word sits for a minute with the spinning rainbow, then locks up and quits itself. BUT, if I click the little 'print' button in the toolbar (the one that bypasses the print dialog box), the file will print.
    I tried resetting the printing system, setting up different printers on the computer, printing over the network and over USB (directly connected to port 1 on the eMac), and re-downloading/installing the printer drivers for the Brother 5250DN laser printer AND the HP LaserJet 1200 laser printer, but all to no avail.
    I can run the Printer Setup Utility and recognize the printers (via Bonjour over the network and via USB), and the computer can run the printer setup utilities, so I know the printer communicates fine with the computer. I also can print to the printers (both the networked one and the Brother) from any of the other Macs (including my own laptop) over the network. But I can't get the print dialog box to show up for any printer on the one eMac.
    I'm determined that this problem lies within the OSX printing system, but reinstalling the whole OS is not an option, as I would have to re-setup all the software, user accounts, special network settings, etc. (even if I do an Archive and Install). Is there anything I can do??? (I seem to recall someone else having this problem, but I can't find that thread on the forum).

    There's another thread describing this same problem. I am having the issue too. As I posted in the other thread:
    "Well, I did a full Archive and Install, with restore user settings, and the thing still won't print! All apps crash when trying to print (except Mail.app, which is odd). So it appears all of the files required for printing are there since Mail.app works, but I still can't print from Safari, Firefox, Preview, TextEdit, etc etc. ARGH!!!!
    Next step is to downgrade to 10.4.8."
    If that doesn't work, I guess an Erase and Install would be th next step.

  • HT4356 I have just updated my Epson printer to one which supports air print but consider it to be a waste of money as my printer has two paper trays and there is option to choose which try...just "print"  How can I print photos via AirPrint from photo  tr

    Hi,
    First-timer on this...Just updated my printer which was less than one year old, to one which had Air Print capabilities. This one is the Epson XP605 which has two trays, one being for photos. Each time I tried to Air Print a photo, it printed from the A4 plain paper tray instead of the Photo Tray.Twice...then I came into my study and changed the printer settings to Tray 1 (photo tray) Photo paper, size 5x7 and  Photo Best, but still it printed on plain A 4 paper. Would be most grateful for any help, although I did read on one Apple site that AirPrint may not be able to choose trays!!!! "may not"??  Thanks

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • All my pdf files can be printed in low quality on my Brother printer but can't print in high quality in the printer menu.

    My problem is that all my pdf files can be printed when I choose "low quality printing" in my Brother printer menu but cannot be printed in "high quality". When trying to print in high quality, the documents load in the printer tray and it says 1 document then disappears and 0 document printing is showing. I have some pdf files that I want to print in color in high quality and black and white but I'm unable to do so. It only prints in low quality for both color and black and white.

    Hello,
    1. Please make sure that your Reader is updated to 11.0.09. Go to Help -> Check for Updates.
    2. Also, please check if there is any new update available for your Printer Driver.

  • Desperate!! Printer issues, Can´t print, can´t scan on my Mac Book Pro.

    Have issues printing and scanning from my Mac Book Pro on a Epson Stylus TX110 printer/scanner. This printer used to work fine on my old windows based laptop. However. When tried to install the software from the original disk, on my new mac, got an error message that could not recognized the application (My guess is that software was old.)
    Went to EPSON support website, located the drivers for my printer, TX110_scan_3730 GM2.dmg and TX110_115_653APS_C2_GM.dmg
    Downloaded them and ran the script and went through the whole process of installing, it said it finished installing both applications, but I can-t find the printing applications or run the scanner...
    Desperate... need to scan and print!

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • HP P6-2016 and Epson 2540 series printer. Can not print from documents file

    I am using an Epson series 2540 printer with my HP P6-2016 running Windows 7.  I was trying to print a form I had
    filled out on line.  When I click "print" I seemed to be in Fax mode.  I have never used this printer to Fax anything
    and have no idea how this occurred.  I am now unable to print anything from my documents file or to copy anything
    using my printer.  I can still print pictures from my pictures file.  Any ideas?

    Hello @Ongton,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that your Epson series 2540 printer is not quite functioning correctly with your HP Pavilion p6-2016 Desktop PC running Windows 7. As you are able to print photos from the computer to the printer it means that the pathways from the computer's operating system are functioning correctly and this is an issue with either the driver or the configuration of the Epson printer. I would advise you to post your issue on the Epson Support Site as they will know their drivers and configuration requirements better than we would.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • My Canon MX 340 continues to require purchase of ink or cancel printing. Can't print. Help!

    Canon continues to require purchase of ink cartridge or cancel printing.  I can't print even I've replaced printer with new cartridge.  Is it a scam that Canon use to force its customers to buy ink cartridge from them?

    No, its not a scam.  Sounds like a malfunction. 
    What operating system and error message(s) are you seeing?  What version of Canon software are you using?

  • Print shop can't print color correctly.

    Hi there,
    I work at a print shop and occasionally run into problems with documents being difficult to print, but this one is especially troubling.  Out print shop does not have Photoshop but rather "Photo Impact..."  I know, don't get me started.  The issue is that I have a particular customer how did some designing in Photoshop CS4 (CS something) and it looks beautiful on his macbook but different on our PC (no matter what program we use to open any of his files- TIFF, PNG, JPG, etc). When printing to our Xerox Docucolor 252 the color is real dark and way less vivid/bright.
    I tried the file on my home computer (PC with CS4) and it again looks great.  When I print it on my home printer (Canon ip6700d) the printed colors are much closer to the screen even though I get an error telling me the printer is a non-postscript printer and so it will ignore some of the document properties.  This leads me to believe that since the Xerox is a postscript enabled (I think) printer it is using data I know nothing about to darken and dirty the image.  This is way outside of my knowledge and I would love to figure this out.
    We have tried converting the image both to CMYK and RGB and have played around with the different color profiles, sRGB, Adobe RGBxxx etc. with very suble changes but nothing acceptable.  I think we are to the point where the customer would be ok to start from scratch but if he doesn't know what to do differently I think we'll be right back here again.
    Any suggestions?  I'm frustrated and desperate to figure this out!
    Thank for any ideas,
