new B209a has poor printing on every third line. Prints pictures ok .Have all new ink and ran alingment and print head cleaning

Sorry that you are having a problem printing documents. Try to print a self test page or printer status report from the printer itself, and see if you get the same results. 
Also try to make a copy of a document, and see if the poor printing continues. 
Have you MANUALLY cleaned the print head? If you can take the print head out, clean with lint free cloth and water.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has to be rebooted every time I print

    All of a sudden my Officejet Pro 8500, Windows 7, has stopped printing unless I power off and on.  Then it will print for a while.  If there is not constant printing and i try to print again later It says "Printing" but never prints.  I power off, then on and what i tried to print will then come through. 
    I print wirelessly and have not had any trouble before.  I have a home office and keep it powered on all the time.

    Hi there wasabi123,
    Welcome to the Forums!
    I saw your post about your Officejet Pro 8500 no longer printing. I understand sometimes you have gotten it to print by turning the printer off and on and are also connected wireless.
    I suggest following this document as a guide for this problem:
    Slow Printing in Windows
    I hope this helps! Please respond if you wish with any issues you run into.
    Thanks,

  • OfficeJet Pro L7780 - Have to Restart Print Spooler every job I print (Windows 7 32-bit)

    I have an OfficeJet Pro L7780 that shows as offline in Devices and Printers constantly.  I discovered if I queue up print jobs to it and then restart the print spooler all of the jobs will come out perfectly then the printer will instantly go offline.   Here is what I've done for troubleshooting already:
    Upgrade to newest firmware (R2011NxNxeN0)
    Factory Reset by hold # and 3 at boot
    Changed Ink and Print Heads
    Installed newest 14.0 driver (tried both Basic and IT Pro Driver)
    Rebooted and restarted printer and computer
    Tried all this on a 2nd Windows 7 computer with the same results
    Anyone actually use this printer on Windows 7 32-bit over the wired network port!!?!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Same printer, same problem, same remediation by restarting Printer Spooler service.  Only difference is OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    FYI- I'm using my L7780 via a wifi connection using WPA2 security and a static IP and network RAW printing to port 9100.  The printer always appears available via network pings but not to the print spooler.  As such, printer is always "grayed out" and disabled but will accept jobs into its queue.
    After endless searching this is what appears to be working as a fix:  Turn off SNMP on printer port.
    Printer Properties -> Ports Tab -> (Select Port) -> Configure Port -> uncheck "SNMP Status Enabled"
    Hopefully this works for others- but I also found mention that others found a fix in toggling other settings such as "Enable bidirection printing" check box.  Who knows what seemingly unrelated software triggers this issue but it began one strange day and drove me crazy.

  • HPOfficejet Pro K8600. When printing .pdf black blocks/ lines print over random words.

    Only happens when sent from one source.  They are not visible on the screen and doesn't happen when I print to a black and white printer.  The graphics print fine - just random black blocks and lines throughout the text, over top of words.
    Thank you.

  • Finder restarts every third second - cant use my computer!

    Hi
    I have a really big problem that makes it impossible for me to use my computer. Since yesterday Finder has been restarting about every third second which makes the icons on the desktop dissapear and appear and also the upper menu is doing the same.
    I have a video clip of it so you can see the problem.

    Please help me, I really need to be able to use my computer again.
    Really appreaciate all the help I can get.
    Thanks

    There is some info here. Try creating a new user, if possible and log into that. If all is well, there is something wrong with your previous user account. If it still fails, then you've got a system-wide problem.
    Third-party Contextual menus sometimes cause this problem. Look in yourUser/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and move anything to the desktop. Restart and see if that helps. If it does, try placing them back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Good idea but hard to do if you only have 2 or 3 seconds before Finder relaunches.
    Try this:
    1. Restart computer and hold Command and S. The Command key usually has the Apple logo on it. This will boot you to Single User Mode which will be a black screen with lots of white text.
    +Note about Single User Mode and these instructions+: Type everything exactly as instructed (including spaces), keeping letters lowercase or capitals as the appear on screen or in these instructions. In the instructions, when you see <RETURN>, instead of typing it out, you want to press the Return key on your keyboard. In the instructions if you see yourusername then you will need to type your username as you saw it on the screen.
    2. Type the following:
    mount -uw / <RETURN>
    ls /Users <RETURN>
    Note: The last command will show a list of the different account folders. Find the one that has your name. This is your username.
    cd /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences <RETURN>
    mv com.apple.Finder.plist com.apple.Finder.plist.old <RETURN>
    reboot <RETURN>
    Note: At this point your computer should restart. Log in how ever you normally do and see if the same thing is happening. If not, stop here. Otherwise repeat step 1 and then go directly to step 3 below.
    3. Type the following:
    mount -uw / <RETURN>
    mv "/Users/yourusername/Library/Contextual Menu Items" "/Users/yourusername/Library/Contextual Menu Items.old" <RETURN>
    Note: You may get a message saying the folder doesn't exist. If so, ignore it.
    mv "/Library/Contextual Menu Items" "/Library/Contextual Menu Items.old" <RETURN>
    reboot <RETURN>
    Let the computer restart and things should be working after that.

  • Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

    I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
    Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

    It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
    For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
    Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
    If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
    Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
    After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
    If the problem persits, please report back here.

  • Not printing every other line

    I have a HO OfficeJet Pro 8500.

    The printer is printing every other line (leaving every other line blank).
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the print quality. 
    See if you can print a self-test page or status report. Let me know if the same things happens. 
    Have you cleaned the print heads?
    Make a copy of a document, and see if you still get every other line printing.

  • Output to line printer (132 x 66)

    I need to print statement to a Line Printer (such as Epson LQ-1600K) on preprinted form.
    Should I use character mode?
    I've tried to setup a character mode report as described in
    Daily BI Views
    (except output chr(14) to printer)
    The layout of printout is as follows
    - 132C x 66R
    - 14 7/8 x 11 inches (paper)
    However, the layout scale is 124 x 52. I can place more than 132 characters on each line. And, my printer definition file is as follows:
    --- starts ----
    printer "dflt"
    height 66
    width 132
    after page control(L)
    return control(M)
    linefeed control(J)
    ---- ends ----
    Is there anything I missed? Please help! Thanks!

    And, error message "REP-1352: The fonts specified for this report cannot be found
    for the character set specified by NLS_LANG" was prompted. The fonts will be automatically set to "r_control" other than "courier new".
    report font : courier new

  • Change Font size for Line printer when Printing ALV

    We are using device type IBM 64xx LP+ emulation 1.00A to print to an IBM line printer.
    I would like to change the font size of an ALV report I am sending to the device.
    Can the font size be set in the Printer Initialization section of the Format?
    Ex. I am using X_65_255
    What/Where can I add the font size
    Set to P-Series Emulation (SSCC P 0)
    \0x1b\0x7c\0x7d\0x3b\0x50\0x30
    Emulation Reset                               (SFCC @)
    \0x01\0x40
    Character Set = IBM PC, ASCII, IBM PC(0850)   (SFCC l 0 0 1)
    \0x01\0x6c\0x30\0x30\0x31
    Print Mode/Pitch Selection = DP Quality, 20 cpi
    \0x01\0x7c\0x7d;Sxxxxx;0;0;xxx;0024;0048
    Line Spacing = 6 lpi                          (SFCC 2)
    \0x01\0x32
    Forms Length Set = 66 lines                   (SFCC LINES;66 <CR><LF>)
    \0x01LINES;66\0x0d\0x0a
    Thanks,

    You will find the P-series emulation here: [LinePrinter Plus programmer's reference manual|http://www.printronix.com/WorkArea/downloadasset.aspx?id=4546] (printronix doc)
    You don't have many options with P-series. Maybe it's better to choose another emulation, and get the IBM 64xx programmer's guide.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

    Hello, as an addition:
    In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
    Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
