Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network.  My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates.  I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know.  Thanks.
Angelo

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer.  This is the print cancel button.

  • Need help with HP OfficeJet 6210 over windows shared network.

    Hello All,
    I have a HP OfficeJet 6210 that is hooked up to my Dell PC. The printer is setup on share mode and works well with other pc's on the network.
    However, I am having problems with it working on my G5. When I goto System Preferences then Printer/Fax setup. I click on the printing tab, I am able to find the printer over the shared network and it set's it up as the default printer. So all that works fine, but when I try to print nothing happens. I looked at the driver and noticed the correct one is not being used. I am having a hard time installing the correct driver. On the G5 if I click on the Printer setup and then look under model. I do not see my printer listed anyway. Is there a simple way to add this driver to the list?
    Thank you,
    Michael

    Thanks David. I have downloaded that file from the HP website, however I am having trouble locating that driver on my Mac HD. When I hook the printer directly to the Mac, it automatically selects driver 3.3. When I try to use the printer while connected to my Dell maching running XP, I cannot find the driver or the model of the printer from the drop down menus in the printer setup utility (under windows printing.) I was going to try to locate the driver myself by selecting "other" instead of finding it by selecting "manufacturer" then "model" of printer. I hope this makes sense.

  • Need help with hp printer/airport

    until yesterday, my ibook printed to my hp 5250 on the airport network. i came back from a trip, and although the internet connection works fine, i can no longer print. i can see the printer (listed as a bonjour printer), but all jobs are stopped. tried the usual - shut everything down and restarted;disconnected and reconnected printer and airport; deleted printer from "print and fax" in system preferences and then added it back in. nothing. i have things in such a twist that i can't print from the printer even when connected directly (the printer DOES work when connected directly to another mac). i can also see another hp printer connected to the network, but cannot add it as a printer - it just spins forever. please help - could i have updated something from apple that is in conflict with my printer working? it is the only thing i can think of. thanks in advance!

    I have the same problem.

  • Need help with a printer connected to a windows home server

    I have a Windows Home Server that has a Brother laser printer connected to it via a USB cable. The printer driver is installed on the WHS and on each PC. My PCs on the network find the printer and can print to it with no problems. But, with my MBA, I'm having issues. I can see the printer as part of the server when installing/setting it up on the MBA and found the Ma printer driver from Brother and installed it on MBA. However, print jobs I send it never print out. What did I do wrong?

    Your MBA should be able to detect the printer and locate the driver, install it and mount the printer. I have an HP5180 color all in one, which I have connected to my Windows PC, and my MBA sees it and prints to it just fine. Have you looked to see if Brother has a Mac driver for it?

  • Need help with HP printer installation.

    Trying to install drivers for an HP OfficeJet 6500 e710n on two machines, an iMac and a MacBook Air, both running OS X 10.7.  The printer is a networked printer that I have tried adding to both machines as an IP printer and as a USB printer. With either method the printer is automatically discovered and the drivers are downloaded.  After the drivers are installed the process stalls at "Configuring the device..."  I have waited at this point for over half an hour with no progress before choosing cancel.  I have also downloaded and run the installer from HP with the same results.  The only way that I have been able to connect with this printer is by manually configuring an IP printer with the generic PCL drivers.  This allows me to print but only in low-res black and white.  Any suggestions?

    If you force restart the computer on the freeze up, or force quit the printer adding window, does the printer appear in the print and scan system preference?   In other words, did the printer successfully install?  (is it possible that the setup part of the install failed, but the actual install worked?)
    If so, you might be able to set the configurations yourself.
    Open up the print and scan system preference.  Double click on the printer.
    When the printer queue window opens up, you should be able to click on the printer setup button.
    Go through all the tabs and set things up the way you like.

  • Need Help With HP Printer

    Currently I have a HP 2610 AIO printer. It works great, for the most part. I have noticed though that the footers in the MS Word 2004 default margins, as well as margins in Pages and Adobe Reader 7 all get cut off at the bottom. Even though if I transfer the document over to my PC with Word 2003 and Adobe Reader 7 the document prints fine.
    I tried contacting HP today, but I probably won't see a response till Monday so I am asking people here. Is there a way to fix this issue with HP printers? Is there a third party driver, or default Apple drive that could be used to overwrite the default and hopefully this fix this bug?
    BTW so far I have tried the following:
    -uninstalling Office and reinstalling
    -uninstalling HP software + drivers & reinstalling
    Is there a preference file or some other file that would reset to a default if I remove it?
    I am looking for any and all answers I can find at this point because so far from searching the Pages forum here, as well as the Google Newsgroup for MS Word 2004, there doesn't seem to be any way to solve this problem.

    I figured out that I needed to select Borderless printing. Otherwise Mac OS X doesn't properly recognize the proper bottom margin of my printer.

  • Need help with scanner/printer

    I'm having trouble with my scanner. I only started having problems yesterday. When I came to this website it told me to use HP print scan dr. But I ran it, and it told me to go back to HP customer care. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing works. I don't know what I did to it. 

    Hey @bluepen ,
    Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
    I understand you are having trouble with your scanner.
    So that I can better assist you I need to know a few things first;
    1. What Operating System are you using? Press the link to find out, in case you don't know already. http://whatsmyos.com/
    2. What printer are you using?
    3. How is the printer connected to the computer?
    Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
    ^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
    Look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Need Help with error message on the Network Systems Preferences, Please

    In Systems Preference, > Network, I get the error message "Your network settings been changed by another application," with an active OK button. However, when I click the OK button, it persists and does not allow me to access the screen. The only way to end this is to force quit Systems Preferences.
    Do you have any idea what is causing this freeze? I have a TimeWarner Internet connection (which I want to change to Verizon as soon as I resolve this). For a while I had Earthlink DSL which didn't work well at all. Could it be something with the not-used Earthlink or the current TimeWarner?
    Any ideas about the cause and, more importantly, the solution?
    Thanks,
    Jeanie

    My computers have not been networked, intentionally. I like having them autonomous. So I have a separate Internet connection for each. And maybe that's what I need to maintain.
    In the house is a Mac Mini and the house phone with new Verizon modem. In the separate office, I have my G5 tower, which is really my main computer.
    Was just on phone with Verizon Tech who did say that they do not support Mac. They made a decision not to because there are fewer of us. However, I can purchase a premium support which appears to cover such support.
    I've not seen the Verizon commercials, but I expect that they are filled with hype. The one I laugh at the most on the FIOS cable video is that they call their cable user interface "intuitive."

  • Need help with Automating Printer and LPR installation

    I work for someone who has a need for automating the print installation of LPR print port to mac laptops. Obviously this will need to cover anything OS X 10.3 and above. All of this needs to be done command line via a batch file of sorts.
    I am a windows and Linux guy, however I just bought a Mac and starting to like the new Leopard OS and the capabilities of boot camp.
    What I need:
    1) how to install LPR port to the laptop
    2) installing a printer from a some sort of cab file with correct port and drivers. (in windows we use print migrator, however the cab files we use for windows will obviously not work with different port types and drivers)
    3) finally some clean up type script that will clean up any temp files I had to create or such.
    I kind of need this soon so if anyone knows how or could point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated.

    If you force restart the computer on the freeze up, or force quit the printer adding window, does the printer appear in the print and scan system preference?   In other words, did the printer successfully install?  (is it possible that the setup part of the install failed, but the actual install worked?)
    If so, you might be able to set the configurations yourself.

  • Need help with a cron job

    What I want to do is run an Applescript every 6 hours and 1 minute. If the computer is asleep when the job comes due, I want it to execute the script and reset the counter. Can crontab do this? If so, how to set it up?

    Gnarlodious wrote:
    Then skip it, I can see there is no easy way.
    I don't think it's that hard, though. Just a bit tricky. I was just a bit confused on what exactly you wanted.
    I could write a stay-open Applescript application, but I wanted to avoid cluttering up the Dock just to run a command every 6 hours.
    Nah, I wouldn't want that either.
    If I were doing something like this and I wanted it to work like this:
    1. Run every six hours, at 6 AM, noon, 6 PM, and midnight.
    2. Run after waking up if the computer has been asleep and missed any of the times in between, say if you let the computer sleep thru the 6 AM job.
    I'd do this:
    1. Call the AppleScript periodically from a cron job. How often would be dependent on how tight you want the times to be to when you wake up.
    2. Have the AppleScript save a text file somewhere with the time when it runs. That way, if your computer is asleep at 6 AM, the script could use this to decide if it missed running while it was asleep.
    3. Have your script check this time and if it's over 6 hours, let the script do its thing. If not, then just exit, to try all this again the next time cron runs it.
    Here's kind of a pseudo-code way of describing it:
    check if it's 6:01, 12:01, 18:01, 00:01
    if yes:
    do your AppleScript business
    save the current time in a file
    exit
    if it's not one of those times:
    check if it's been over 6 hours since the AppleScript did its business
    if yes:
    do the AppleScript business
    save the current time in a file
    exit
    if no:
    exit
    Then you could do two cron jobs:
    1 */6 * * * /path/to/applescript
    */5 * * * * /path/to/applescript
    The first one would run at your appointed times. The second would just run every 5 minutes to catch those times when the computer was asleep. The "5" could also be "10" for every ten minutes. Or whatever you decide you'd like.
    I'd show you an AppleScript, but I'm really not so good at that. If a Perl script would help, I could whip one up pretty quickly, I think.

  • Need help with 5515 Printer

    HP Photosmart 5515 Printer  not used for the last 7 months.  Replaced all 4 ink cartridges, printer will not print. Ran all the suggestions in the help section. Nothing works. Test sheet printed all colors, not black. Tried to copy something, blank page. HELP

    Hello @TH-39,
    Were you able to try the troubleshooting steps listed 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. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks,

  • Need help with media-print style sheets

    I am trying to create a style sheet for printing only for pages on my site. I have found a lot of the same information describing how to remove unwanted items, and change colors and so forth for the items to be printed. My problem is that after the unwanted parts of the page are removed, the remaining test to be printed does not "flow" into the areas previously occupied by other elements. The printed text remains in the location on the page that it occupies on the webpage. How do I get the text to "take over" the whole page?
    Below is the style definition for the text content as it is displayed on the screen:
    div.mainBody {
         position:absolute;
         left:210px;
         top:145px;
         width:640px;
         height:595px;
         background-color:#000000;
         font : normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
         text-align: justify;
         color:#CCCCCC;
    And here is the "new" definition for the text as it should be printed:
    .mainBody {
         position: absolute !important;
         left: 0px;
         top: 0px;
         width: 100%;
         margin: 0;
         padding: 0;
         background: white;
         font: normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
         text-align: justify;
         color: #000;
         float: none;
         display: inline;
    All other elements on the page are "turned off" with "{ display: none; }"
    Why am I having so much trouble with such a simple thing?
    Thanks for any help!
