Canon Printer suddenly won't print pdfs

All of sudden it won't print pdfs. It will print from Pages, Textedit etc but if I try and Print a PDF I get a Canon Error Number : 94 A paper size that cannot be fed from the cassette was selected. Load paper in the auto sheet feeder, and press the Paper Feed Switch on the printer. Printing will restart. That's as far as it goes. Tried reinstalling the drivers (last update from Canon was June 09). Also reinstalled Acrobat Reader with no luck.

Nothing changed. But since then using AppZapper I removed all the Adobe stuff I have. Then went into Libraries and removed Adobe folder. Then went to print and it works. So it must be an Adobe issue. Don't know what but if I can read and print pdfs without Adobe installed that will do me. Strange. Uses Preview of course.

It is wireless and has printed from my computer and my married male counter part (since the h word is not permitted in this community) with no problems.

HP OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink.

My OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink. The cartridge isn't empty. It still prints everything else. Things that require yellow ink come out a different color (ie: green comes out blue). I've cleaned the printheads several times from the "tools" menu and the report says the printheads are in "good" condition. I've also tried soaking the printheads in hot water for 5 min like was mentioned on here. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi - you've worked through all the steps in the support document here? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01957673&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
If you have, and still see bad red and green blocks on the PQ Diagnostic page (as described in the document), you may have to replace the black/yellow printhead (even if the printhead health is reported as 'good'). You can check your warranty on that printhead here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&docname=c00206040

Canon PIXMA MX712 suddenly won't print or copy anything - no color, no B/W, not even with Deep Clean

Canon PIXMA MX712 worked great, no degradation in print quality (over last 1.5 years). Suddenly won't print or copy anything. Can't print wirelessly (from IPAd or computer) or plugged in with USB directly to laptop. Can't copy. Makes normal print head sounds and "prepares" to print. Sounds like it is working and spits out nothing but blank pages. Tried doing test print and nothing shows up on page. Tried doing a deep clean and still nothing. Tried unplugging and letting it reset and turn back on and still nothing. Tried switching out printer cartridges and still nothing. All lights are on for the print cartridges. The printer says it is ready and never received a print error. Please help me stop getting nothing but blank pages. It would seem normal to start having streaking or blotchy prints, but not just to work great one day and then stop.

I have the exact same problem ... printer is about 18 mths old ... I have done what has been suggested ... any other ideas

Any document over 20mb won't convert from PDF to word, I just get an error message...why? Anything smaller I have no problem at all.

Laserjet 5200dtn won't print inside page of booklet from PDF, Yosemite

I'm a composer, and have had a Laserjet 5200dtn for years. Usually to print, I save the file from the Music Notation software (Sibelius) to pdf. From the pdf file, I choose create booklet, and then print from there.
Lately, when I print the file, all of the pages of the booklet will print, except the innermost two. I have tried several files to check, and the problem is consistent.
I have tried checking for driver updates, etc. I am on Yosemite 10.10.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a wiz with computers, and it is frustrating because this printer has worked beautifully for years.

Lg28,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Photosmart 7550 suddenly won't print anything but scanned images?

Hi all,
I've had this printer for a while and have had zero problems with it, and I don't think there's one now. More likely a setting I can't find. I just scanned a bunch of stuff that printed up just fine, but text documents, (I use Open Office) and PDF docs will not. I've tested this out and haven't been able to discover what I've done wrong. I can print anything that I've scanned (scanned docs are displayed by Windows Photo Gallery), but no ODT (Open Office) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat). Won't print from e-mail, either. It was all working fine the last time I printed any ODT or PDF, but it has been a couple of months for those, though I was printing e-mails as recently as last week. Also, when I send the command to print, I see the status bar spooling the pages to print, but the printer never reacts. Then when I double click the printer icon in the toolbar, the printer status window that opens shows "printing", but then suddenly it says "deleting" and it disappears and there are no jobs pending.
I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit. Drivers are up-to-date.
Can anyone help?

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer C309g won't print from iTunes

My C309G won't print anything from iTunes. Anybody have any luck fixing this problem? Thanks.

Hi - Got this from another user on the forum. Go into Printers and Devices (from start menu), right click on the C309G and there should be a Properties option. Select Properties and click Advanced. the default is "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster", and then "Start printing immediately". Change it to "Print directly to the printer". This resolved the problem for a number of users.
Hope that helps.

Printer connected to AE suddenly won't print jobs submitted by Mac clients

I have an HP 2015 Laserjet connected to an ethernet port on my AE. It has been running fine for almost a year. Suddenly (today) it no longer prints jobs submitted from 2 different Macs (10.5.7 and 10.5.8) on the wireless net. There are 2 Windoze machines on the wireless domain which have no trouble printing.
I can see the utility page from the Macs, so the connectivity is there. When I submit a print job, it shows up in the print queue, the green data light on the printer blinks, the job now is displayed in the queue as "completed." But no printing occurs.
Yes, there is paper in the printer. I can print a test page but only from the printer's control panel. The 2 Windows machines can print.
I have tried everything I can think of: removing the printer and reinstalling it, rebooting the machine, cycling power on the AE, cycling power on the printer. Nothing helps.
I run network diagnostics and get the following error message:
+Network Diagnostics was able to connect to the Internet,+
+but not to the server "HP Laserjet P2015 Series+
+(20D501).pdl-datastream.tcp.local." This could be+
+caused by problems with the server, or an Internet+
+problem between this computer and the server.+
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Message was edited by: Micheal LeVine. Network diagnostics info added

Problem has gone away.
Removed printer from printer list
Shut down everything -- iMac, AE, printer, wait 5 minutes, power back on,
added printer to list
Everything works.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless suddenly won't print yellow; no error messages

Is it possible that a printhead needs to be replaced even when Diagnostics Pages all say "Printhead health: Good"? I don't have any error messages. There are no obvious white lines through the colored blocks on test pages. In a couple of blocks on some test pages, there is one, very fine, barely visible line, but it's not the same on all pages. (Today I've printed about a dozen test pages of three different kinds that have colored blocks on them, and there are no white lines like the ones shown in examples of bad test results.) I have used the tool for cleaning the printheads many, many times today and have cleaned at all of the levels. The ink level in the yellow cartridge is fine, and it's been working well until yesterday and today.
The printing of the five colored blocks on test pages is good, bright, and clear. The only problem is that the block which is supposed to be a light orange color is only pink, and the block that is supposed to be green is only blue: they are lacking yellow ink.
I haven't had any problems with the paper I've bought at Staples for six years (I also bought my printer at Staples ). The printer is six years old but has not been used hard. I use it regularly for a page or two a few times a week, so the printer isn't sitting idle for weeks at a time.
I read something in "help" information about using a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the nozzle of a new ink cartridge, which didn't apply to my cartridge, but I decided to experiment anyway by pushing a pin through the nozzle of the partially-used, yellow ink cartridge, The test page I printed after that is the page with just four colored blocks on it rather than the five blocks on a different test page. This is the only time in two days that the yellow ink has printed. However, it printed in a wide horizontal band a little streaked with gray in the middle of the block. Then there are fairly wide white bands (no ink) both above and below the wide yellow/gray streaked band in the middle, and there are very narrow, yellow, horizontal strips printed along the very top edge and the very bottom edge of the block. In other words, the sequence of horizontal printing in this block only is: narrow yellow strip, wide white band, very wide yellow/gray streaked band, wide white band, and narrow yellow strip.
It seems this might mean that some yellow ink actually got through after I'd poked the pin into the center of the nozzle of the partially-used ink cartridge? However, when I tried printing the same test page again, there was no color, no ink showing at all where the partially-printed, yellow block had been on the previous test page. There was only a totally blank, white space where the yellow test block was supposed to be. The blue block, the red/pink block, and the black/gray block all printed well.
When nothing solved the problem of yellow ink not printing, I replaced the partially-used, yellow cartridge with a new yellow cartridge, but that didn't make a difference either: the yellow ink is still not printing. Yes, I use genuine HP ink cartridges. I buy new ones whenever I need them -- never refill them or use any other brand but HP.
I used the alignment tool once to fix some slight wavering in the lines on a test page. The lines are now perfectly straight.
I apologize for being so wordy, but I wanted to send all of the details that might help diagnose the problem. I read other questions and answers in the forum about yellow ink not printing, but while there were some similiarities, none of them was 100% exactly like my experience with the problem. What shall I try now? Thank you for any suggestions.

Good day.
Can try the steps in this document?

Files Modified Multiple Times Suddenly Won't Print

I've now had this happen for the 2nd or 3rd time. Background: Have a file, might be a SS, might be WP, which is used over and over again. They will usually have graphics (photos) in them, which change, and the text in the WP will change month to month. The SS one is simply re-calced periodically with a new starting date, no other changes.
After some undetermined length of time, they will will no longer print. You get no response from the printer and, when investigated, you find 'All Jobs Stopped'. The stoppage occurs pretty much as soon as the printer (which never reacts in any way) is being accessed.
Printer works fine on other files, once jobs are started again. Things I've tried are logging out, restarting, using 'Save as:' on the failing file, removing the graphics and other elements, but nothing seems to work. Once they lose the ability to print I've never been able to regain it and have had to replace the file completely.
Is there something else I can/should be trying here? Have any ideas of why this seems to keep on happening?
BTW, it's 10.4.9 and AW 6.2.9.

Hello
This is a behaviour which was described several times.
My guess is that the "Print Record" saved in the file is corrupted.
As you wrote about WP and SS documents, there is a simple trick.
Open the document in AW6.
Use the "Save As…" menu item to save the doc as an AppleWorks 5 document.
Open the new doc with AW6.
I'm quite sure that the fresh doc will print without problem.
The explanation is simple.
When re-encoding the doc to save it as an AppleWorks 5 one, AW6 rebuilds the entire structure of the doc BUT drop the print record.
So, the new doc will start with a default clean new print record.

Using Aurora 5.0a2 and is suddenly won't print or do print preview.

Says "printer can't be found" after Print Preview; and "do you want to install a printer" after Print. Clicking Yes I get Print Spooler service is not running, but checking that reveals it is. I recently installed a Java upgrade; tried uninstalling but it can't find the .msi file and fails.
I'm using Windows XP Professional; happens everytime I try to print. I've tried reinstalling 5.0a2 via update but still won't print; also tried stopping and starting Printer Spooler service and shutting down my computer, then restarting it and Aurora. Nada.

Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
It's all very mysterious but it seems to have corrected itself. Eventually the error message "out of paper" appeared yesterday (it had plenty), I pushed in the paper and things started printing again. I was also able to scan again. Not sure if it was down to a Google glitch or what but we're up and running again.
Merci beaucoup!

Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps. It just prints a thin line at top of page. Everything works fine until I print.
All other print functions work. It prints from computer via WiFi. It prints when I send an email to it. It copies via the Zeen. It just won't print using the Print Apps.
Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
12/23/2010 3:00PM. I just got off the phone with an HP engineer. She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product. (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up. This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me. The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!. Even the printer app was missing. I had to move it from the app tray to the home page. Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now. The Zeen will copy using the printer app. My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting. However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly. If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems. HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems. I hate this, as I really loved the product.
