My printer will not stop coming up OUT OF Paper. Even when i reset it, It comes up with OUT OF PAPER

I Need Help with this. When I start up my Printer it Comes on and tell me I am OUT OF PAPER Reload Paper and pass OK.
But It keeps on doing this.

Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? There are documents online for many models showing how to clean the rollers and take other steps to address false (or real) out of paper indications.

  • MY PRINTER WILL NOT STOP PRINTING

    I have a brand new HP 309a wireless printer.  I am using it with a USB PORT.   I downloaded something from a PDF file and the printer will not stop printing.  I rebooted the computer, I disconnected the printer for an hour and when I turned it on it resumed   I hit the cancel button, the display reads "print cancelled" and then it reads "now printing."  When I attempt to use the printer to print something else it reads "busy."  HELP.
    This question was solved.

  • Emails will not stop coming into Inbox. Even when deleted duplicates reappear over and over.

    I am trying to find out how to stop this. It happens with all of my mail accounts, not just one.
    I have tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again, but I have the same problem.
    All of my new mail will load, over and over, this never stops unless i 'take all accounts offline'. I have been unable to check my emails due to the volume of emails coming into my inbox.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    What kind of account? IMAP, POP, Gmail?

  • "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped."

    I am facing this error message while printing crystal reports from my application. My system resources details are:
    IIS 7.0
    Crytsal reports 2008
    Microsoft server 2008 R2
    I have read all the possible solutions provided in this forum but unfortunately it did not resolve my problem. i have change IIS pool to classic from integrated. i have also disable some mimetypes in compression settings.
    Please note that this problem ocurred when there are so many pages (for example 1000). As far as my findings are that for some how Request objects and session objects get vanish and we can not move to next page after this error. Report source also get vanished after this error.
    Kindly help me on this.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Don for your response.
    I am already sending the print to windows XPS printer, and secondaly session timout is also definded to its maximum limit (i.e 20 mins).
    Our application consist of classic ASP and ASP.net pages. we have written a utility to transfer session of classic ASP tp ASP.net.
    One more thing which i experienced today is that when For testing purpose i put two different sessions in certain variables, one is classic ASP session (transferred to asp.net) and the second one is the session which was created in .net page. during printing error i saw windows event log and Error came at .net session. i moved those values to classic asp page. now error is not logging in event log and there is slight change in priting error. error message is now: "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped.do you want to view?" when i click yes it shows me empty page with no data.
    waiting for your response.
    Regards,

  • C4580. Will not stop printing.

    I have a very big problem with my printer. It will not stop printing once I send a print job to it (regardless of the program in windows, or whether it is a test page etc). I have had this problem since new and have been unable to use the printer properly since I first bought it.
    The problem is as follows - whenever I print, the printer just keeps churning out and printing the same page time after time after time. I have to manually cancel the job. I have reinstalled and reset the printer 3 or 4 times now with no effect. Even when I do the very initial print test on photo paper (and put one sheet in), it prints but then says it is out of paper (as I delibrately only put one sheet in the tray). This is driving me bonkers. I have spoken to HP support on this several times. I have wasted countless paper and half the ink cartridges - and this is just to TRY and setup the printer! Madness.
    This is NOT a printer problem but something wrong with the driver/software. The reason being this:
    - I do NOT have this problem if I print to the C4580 using the generic HP 6500 driver (this is what HP recommended when they were helping me). However, I do not want to use this driver as it defeats the object of having an all-in-one and being able to scan); and
    -  If I do a test print from the printer (as opposed to on my computer), it only prints one page.
    Also, this does not seem to be a corrupt print spooler as I have stopped and restarted this several times.
    Advice please, otherwise I am sending this back to HP and claiming damages.
    Thanks
    Elliot

    I have the exact same issue. Have you managed to figure out a fix?

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

  • Hp Laserjet 1012 Printer will not print

    All of a sudden, my printer will not work. Maybe it has to do with the new Canon scanner I just bought and installed(?).
    Anyways, did the usual (deleted all printers, downloaded and installed updated driver, added printer (verified on System Profiler), rebooted both Mac and Printer but no go.
    Attempts to print then after 15 seconds or so "stops" in the queue.
    I'm stumped because I can get the printer to work on my other Mac.
    In advance, thanks for your input.

    I would take a reconditioned product over a new replacement any day.  The reconditioned product has been verified to have a problem, taken apart by a technician, verified the defective part, replaced defective part (which will never fail again) and put back together and tested more extensively than a new unit.  New unit... put together by an assembly person, press self test and ship it out.

  • Laserjet cm1415 will not stop showing "Incoming Call"

    I have the fax setup in manual mode and it will not stop showing  "Incoming call" on the panel even thjough there is no call comming in. Other than that everything works well. Any body have any ideas on how to get it off of that so the printer can go into sleep mode?
    Thanks

    The "Incoming Call" message is shown whenever we see a ring signal on the line, regardless of the fax receive mode.
    If this message is showing up when no fax is being sent, then it means that there is noise on the phone line.  You can contact your phone company to discuss options in reducing the noise on your phone line.
    If this message is showing up with no phone line plugged in, then the modem inside the printer is detecting noise.  It is possible that the internal fax parameters have become corrupt.  If that is the case, then you can perform a "Restore Defaults"  in order to reset them.  Note: doing this will erase all of your settings.  You can print out a configuration report before doing this so you can reset them.  A restore can be done at the control panel by pressing [Setup] on the main screen (the button with the wrench on it), then select "Service" and then "Restore Defaults."
    This is based on my own experience with the product.

  • Since upgrading to OS X yosemite my printer will not work.

    Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite my printer will not work.

    I found the solution in another thread. Thanks to frankglyn who posted it there.
    I've just copied it here, as this seems to be the most active thread on this subject.
    The solution (steps A to C) worked fine for me and others and should work for you as well, until Kodak will come with an updated driver. Then, you can revert the changes as also described below (steps 1 to 7)
    A) in Spotlight Type Terminal and then press enter.
    This should bring up the terminal window/program.
    B) In the Terminal type sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
    It will ask for your password.
    C) After that type following: sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
    After that if you are lucky the printer driver should start to work. (which it did in my case)
    I hope this works out for you, if not then you can do following to revert the changes:
    In case you want/have to revert the changes:
    1) Open the terminal as usual (Spotlight type Terminal hit enter and wait for the terminal window to appear)
    2) then type: cd /etc/cups
    3) then type: sudo nano cups-files.conf
    4) 'type in your password'
    This brings up a command line editor which you can use to edit the file
    5) Remove the last line which says Sandboxing Relaxed
    6) press 'ctrl x'
    And then confirm with y when being asked if you want to save the changes
    7) after that type sudo launchctl start org.cups.cupsd

  • Printer will not feed envelopes

    I have a HP Deskjet F4180 All in One printer and am having trouble getting it to feed envelopes. I've tried Monarch sized envelopes and No. 10 size envelopes and the printer will not pick them up from the feed tray. I've tried pushing them further into the printer and when it does pick them up the end of the envelope stops before it is under the printer head and I have to use the resume button to clear the envelope out of the printer. It seems like the end of the envelope just reaches the feeder wheels but is never engaged by them.  The printer will feed a regular 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper just fine and will even print the address out on these sheets. It just will not feed the envelopes. I've tried to feed the envelopes from on top of paper in the feed tray and feeding the envelope separetly with no paper in the tray. Nothing seem to work. This problem has come up suddenly. I was able to print envelopes last week. Now it has stopped feeding them entirely. Any suggestions would be appreciated.  The printer is less than 2 years old and sees very light service. .

  • Rebuilding aMacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, hard drive failure so rebuilding system.  Aircard will not stop self-assigning IP address.  Any ideas how to resolve successfully?

    Had hard drive failure on MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, so had to rebuild the OS on new drive. Was on Lion 10.7.5 prior to failure, but had to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3 since that was most recent OS on media I had.  After finally getting ethernet connection to router working, was able to get to internet and download / upgrade to 10.6.8.  I assume I can probably buy the upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 from there.
    Problem is this, Airport will not stop self-assigning IP address for my wireless connection, and unless I can get wireless back on this laptop, doesn't make a lot of sense to continue the rebuild and reinstall of all the software that was on it prior to HD failure.  Only way to my home network and router is ethernet now.  Everything else on my network (Apple MacBook Pro laptops, iPhones, desktops, and non-Apple printers and laptops) is hooking up to router wirelessly fine.
    Any ideas how to resolve successfully so that the airport will stop self-assigning and allow the router to assign the IP address?

    If the printer will still not feed paper, then it is probably time for a new printer.
    The Photosmart family of printers is currently being switched over to the ENVY family. 
    The new printers are also eligible for the Instant Ink program.
    There are about fourteen printers.
    Eleven that you can click on to bring up the user manual.
    This user manual should tell you if the printer can handle card stock.
