Network Printer (Error - Printing) Will Not Print

Hi,
We currently use a HP DesignJet 1055CM printer for all of our AutoCAD and plan drawings, which has recently gone on the fritz. Any print job sent from anyone in our network will make its way to the printing queue and be met with a Error - Printing status. Additionally, even after all the documents are cancelled, a test page will consistently queue itself and post yet another error. When the test page is cleared and the queue is completely empty, and print jobs sent will also be met with the same message. This all recently happened when a co-worker added said printer to his (relatively) new computer. He downloaded a the driver for the printer off the internet, and now no one can print. I suspect that his driver was simply incompatible with the working one and now has caused this problem. He was using Windows Pro. XP SP3 and downloaded the driver from http://designjet1055cmplus.com/drivers.htm. Can someone confirm this diagnosis or point me in the right direction? If it is a compatiblity issue, how can we revert back to the working one? There is a computer not currently hooked up to the network that had the driver on it that worked, but I did not want to overwrite anything until I got some advice. I may not even be in the right ballpark of thinking.
Thanks for your time and let me know if there is any additional information I need to provide or if I am outside the protocol of this forum.

Hi haslet,
Have you tried checking to see if the cartridge is vented properly? Sometimes if the vent is clogged it can affect the print quality. See the link below for more details...

Please let me know if this helps.

Samba cups and windows 8: printer spools but will not print.

Hello,
I have samba and cups setup. I have been trying to connect to my windows printer. Here is my setup
Arch linux linux-3.12.1-3
samba-4.1.2-1
cups-1.7.0-2
Windows 8.1
no firewalls
Samba config
[global]
security = user
#passdb backend = tdbsam
#username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
workgroup = Bobshouse
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
log level = 1
max log size = 1000
read only = no
#disable netbios = yes
printing = cups
printcap = cups
[homes]
browsable = no
map archive = yes
[Shared]
browsable = yes
read only = yes
path = /home/bob/Share
for cups some things I have tried are
lpd://hostname/printer
smb://username:password@hostname/printer_name
I can see the printer with smbclient
So the printer spools, but will not print. the paper does not move I just hear the printer. Also when I watch the print queues in windows and linux. Cups shows that it sent the document, but when I watch the windows queue it shows the document, but the size of the document stays at 32 kb out of 1.8 mb and says printing. I hope this makes sense. I am just trying to keep things very simple at this point. I just want to understand what the problem is and build on it.

Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:
Printer Model - done
Complete and Detailed Problem Description -
Operating System of computer (including service pack revision) - done
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless? -
Make and model of router and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns?
If wireless, when the problem occurs, what is status of Blue Wireless light on printer, on, off or blinking? –
Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 3 mins, power on printer. Does it connect to the router now? Do you have a valid IP address?

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and I just purchased a HP Deskjet 1510 all-in-one printer. I have installed the software and my computer is picking up the printer but it will not print. I have restarted the computer and it still will not print.

I just installed a multifunction Lexmark Pro905 printer and it will not print articles from Firefox, but will from Explorer??? Are there settings in Firefox to solve this??

When you initiate printing with {Ctrl + P}, are you able to select that printer in the Printer - Name box?

Epson N515 error message will not print

epson printer will not print. error messasge: "rastertoescpll quite unexpectantly"
Any fix available

Step 1
Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings. Then reinstall the EPSON update.
Credit for this solution to ASC user Yuengdog1983.
Step 2
If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
/Library/Printers/EPSON
You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

Firefox 5 with Fedora 15 prints text, but will not print images from web pages.

I have a Pentium 3 laptop running Fedora 15 and using Firefox 5.0. Firefox will print the text from a website, but will not print the images. It just leaves the spaces blank where the images should be. Print preview shows the same results. I have a AMD desktop and a Pentium 4 laptop running the same software, except that the desktop is running the 64-bit version of Fedora 15 and the second laptop is running the 32-bit version. The desktop prints the text and images without very many problems, but both laptops will print the text, but ''not'' the images.
As a test, I downgraded Firefox from version 5.0 to 4.0.1 on the Pentium 4 laptop and encountered the same problem. So, since I do not print much from either laptop, I had not before seen this problem. The desktop has never seen it.
I figure it may be an about:config problem, but I do not know what the parameter may be that is causing the problem.

Hp all in one 6480 Will print text but will not print pictues

I can not determine why the printer will not print a picture but will print documents. It comes back paper jam but there is no paper jam.

Nobody? This has to be a simple fix, but I can't figure it out!

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer (photosmart D5160) will not print to CD/DVD when I try it says my printer doesn't support CD printing. any help will be welcome

Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer ( HP photosmart D5160 driver 3.3.0) will not print to CD/DVD,when I try it says "your printer does not support CD printing". any help will be welcome.

I see those are old posts above but I'm just now having the same problems. I have the original software CD that came with my Photosmart D5160 printer but I can't load it. I get the message "You can't open the application "HP Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So I don't have that going for me, which is not nice! But I couldn't really care less about that if I can just find a CD labeler software that will print from my Mac to the D5160. I'd rather by new CD labeler software than a new printer. I've tried a few free CD labeler software downloads, including iWinSoft Label Maker, but nothing has worked so far. I think there's an answer somewhere; I'm able to print documents on regular paper using this printer, but I only bought it (many years ago) to print CD labels and some pictures. It's been used only sparingly and it's been in storage since I bought my Mac 3 years ago, mainly because a I got a free printer with my purchase. Any help is vertainly appreciated!!!

Officejet 4500 will not print from internet.

Printer will only print e-mails, will not print anything from internet. "Unspecified error, Line 2107, Char1, Code0 res://ieframe.dll/preview.js" appears when ever I try to print from internet.

The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks,
Dan

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

My printer will not print the web pages using firefox...how do I set it up to print a web page?

I have an hp photosmart c4180 printer and it will not print the web pages in firefox...how exactly do I set up FF so I can print web pages? I will need step by step instruction also on exactly where to go to set it up.

Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock), then open Print & Scan
Click the + button at the bottom of the printer list
If your printer appears....not all printers are supported....click on the name to highlight it
Click the Add button to install the printer at the AirPort Express location
Try to print. You must choose the correct printer at the AirPort Express location since the printer is "installed" at other locations on your network.
If you open Print & Scan again, and select the printer at the AirPort Express, there is an option to make the printer the "default" location, so you do not have to choose which location to select when you want to print.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks
gumboman

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.
