New Laserjet Pro M476NW Will Not Print MS Word or Excel Files

I just bought a brand new Color Laserjet Pro MFP M476nw printer. I am usint MS Vista 32 bit and MS Office 2007.
The Printer prints images, emails and I can make copies, etc, but I cannot print Word files, Word Envelopes, Excel files, etc.
Until my old HP Laserjet 4P finally died the other day (internal electrical short) I could print everything. Have spent 8-hours or so trying everything I have read from Microsoft, HP, etc, with no success. Installed, Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran diasgnostics, still no success.
I cannot contact anyone at HP for less than $99 to talk to a person. Very frustrating.
As I said, Word and Excel files printed just fine until I bought the new M476nw printer. How can this be Fixed?
This question was solved.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk. User runs win 7 64 bit on a network. Raninstall through setup.exe. Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly. It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page. If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page. If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page. It does not seethe printer. It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk. I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing. I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue. It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print. I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account: Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome.

New OfficeJet Pro 8600 will not print

I just got a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 a little over a week ago and have it setup on my wireless network. The first few days it worked fine, but as of yesterday I haven't been able to print anything. The computer says it's printing, but the printer isn't doing anything. I've checked my wireless status and it says that it's connected. How do I fix this or what do I do? Thanks!

LaserJet Pro MFP M125a not printing

Hi,
my relatively new LaserJet PRO MFP M125a stopped printing today. Scan function is still working. All lights are on. Cannot print test page. When I try to print Word or PDFdoc, spool is empty, no job is waiting.
Uninstaled all HP software and drivers, cleaned registry, installed it again. Nothing. Changed USB cable, it worked for few pages, then turned off. When I turned it on, problem is here again. Changed USB cable again, but no luck.
Windows is fresh, new HP drivers...
Help is needed.
Best regards,
Nikola

HP LaserJet Pro m201dw suddenly not printing via ethernet (wired) network using Mac OS 10.10.1

Hi,
My brand-new HP LaserJet Pro M201dw is suddenly not cooperating when I go to print using my Mac. I had it set up following the directions which closest matched my OS and it worked perfectly for one week; today suddenly it won't cooperate. The printer is seen on the network. I have deleted and re-installed it from my System Preferences several times. I have rebooted my computer. I cannot seem to get it to work. Even the HP Utility is having difficulty. The HP Utility is suddenly slow and often needs to be force-quit as it hangs when I navigate to other applications (web browser, etc.) while waiting for it to respond to clicks. Most often the HP Utility shows the printer in the status ara as "Device Status: Unknown" and "Supplies: Unknown" which it wasn't having issues with yesterday.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this device? Is there better documentation than the basic setup page here on HP? What about adjusting some setting in the printer web page (which I can access) - is the answer in there?
Thank you.

Hi @td2243,
I see that you are having issues printing over the wired network. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
Try and ping the printer.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, then click Applications, then Network Utilities. (you can go to the finder and type in Network Utilities)
Click on PING from the bar at the top of the window.
Enter the IP Address of the printer and click Ping.
Did you get any replies back?
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.

HP Office Jet Pro 8610 will not print but will only fax

We have a HP Office Pro Jet 8610 and it worked fine until we hooked it up as a fax machine also on Thursday.
It used to copy, print, scan perfectly but we need a new fax machine so we went out and bought the phone cord and hooked up a fax line and telephone with built in answering to the Office Jet and the fax works , but now it will not print a document from Open Office to the printer because it tries to make a fax cover page.
I have run out of ideas can you please help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

There are two "printer" drivers on there, to print, choose the "Officejet Pro 8610 Printer" instead of the "Officejet Pro 8610 FAX". You probably set the second one as default when the fax function is added, which is for PC fax. If you use the print function more often than fax, make the non-fax one the default printer.

Officejet Pro L7590 will not print in black

I have an All in One Officejet Pro L7590. When I first got the printer 3 months ago, everything was printing perfectly. Now, out of nowhere, it will not print in black. It only prints in color. I have done all the aligning, printhead cleaning, changing cartridges, etc. I am at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone had this problem with this model? Can anyone help? Thank you.

Thank you so much for responding. After (3) HP printers all having the same difficulty and support not knowing what the problem was, (also many hours with Support) I determined it was the printheads also. The printheads don't seem to last very long and can be more costly than the printer itself if you have to keep replacing them. I changed over to a laser jet. No printheads needed. And I have not had any problems so far. Just need to replace the ink cartridges when they run out. I have the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Will Not Print Wirelessly

Hi. I have read other threads on this forum with suggested fixes from HP employees and tried them. I have run the tool which found no errors. My firewall is off. I have installed the latest Adobe and uninstalled then reinstalled the printer software. I have followed instructions in book re: turning off computer, router, printer, etc. I can see the IP address for the printer in IE.
Still, this brand new printer will not print wirelessly or otherwise from my hp laptop. VERY frustrating. I have spent hours trying work arounds for a brand new computer. I would greatly appreciate a response regarding how to resolve this problem. Thank you.

I have seen cases where a troubled install went through flawlessly after the computer was reimaged. That may be an option to consider.
I did want to make sure that you had the most current firmware version and it looks like you do.
Before a reimage, you could uninstall Officejet Pro 8600 programs (if there are any) and download and install the drivers for your printer from hp.com. Click here for the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. By doing this, you would have the most up-to-date drivers. Sometimes a download will work where a disk does not. It you do decide to reimage, I highly recommend the above download for the installation.
Let me know what happens.

Do you have the 64 bit version of WIn 7? This thread suggests printing from the 64 bit Vista (and WIn 7 would be similar) is an issue in Quicken 2008 and 2009. The thread suggests there is a solution but the link requires registering for the Quicken forum and that did not work for me this afternoon.

Acrobat Pro 8 will not print some graphics, any ideas?

I am printing from Word 2007 to an Acrobat Pro 8 PDF. When I do so, some of the graphics will not show up. They seem to be in the document as when I highlight them, they show they are blocked and I can actually copy the stuff by highlighting it and copying, but it will not print or display.
This seems to be a new problem, as it worked fine, then I am not sure what trigered it, but now it will not print all the graphics. The graphics are just JPGs
Note the document looks good on the screen, but when I create a PDF or print the PDF, it will not print.
I also see this a lot when I use my PrintShop Mail program, which uses Acrobat to genterate it files.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Geoff

Since Acrobat is not an Apple product, you would probably be better off posting your question on Adobe's own forums as they would be geared more toward the issue than an Apple forum:

HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
When will HP have the driver to download?

Check the support site here.

HP Officejet Pro L7580-Will not print black ink after I have replaced cartridge.

I Have an Officejet Pro L7580. It worked fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge. After replacing it I cannot print in black. I printed 1 or 2 sheets when first replaced-then it stopped (only the black will not print). After a hard reset it printed 1 or 2 sheets then stopped (printing the black). The quality test page did not print any black and there were globs of black ink on the page. The color prints fine and it show a full black cartridge. Followed multiple troubleshooting steps, to no avail.

Hi melissaccss,
I see you have replaced a cartridge and can no longer print black ink. I appreciate the troubleshooting you have done so far, but please take a look at the following document to see if you have done all that can be done; Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
If the issue persists, I recommend calling HP and letting the know the issue as well as the steps you have already completed. It may be helpful to even let them know you completed all of the steps in HP document #c01957673.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.
