No printing to anything.

Updated to snow leopard and can't print to anything. Xerocx Docucolor, Richo, hp etc. Also lost all connections to our spoolers which we use to autmatically direct files. Can't find a way to access them. In printer profiler in Leopard there were options at the top of the window to navigate through our sever. None in SL that I can find.
Anyway I manually loaded the drivers for the printers. Nothing.
Back to 10.5. for me since I can't afford the time to wait to print.

Apple may have some part to play but I don't see why people are concentrating their frustrations on them. The manufacturers of these printers, particularly older ones, are ultimately responsible for supporting older printers on newer OSes. HP apparently did it after numerous customer complaints. It was because of the manufacturer's indifference (in my case, Epson years ago with the migration from PPC to Intel) that led me to drop their products from future purchases.
Perhaps if enough customers complain to Xerox, they too may decide to support their older printers.

  • Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

    When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
    HELP DR.

    Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

  • System.out.println does not print out anything

    I'm wonder why the dos mode does not print out the System.out.println.
    My code has:
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class test extends HttpServlet {
       public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
       HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,
       ServletException {
          System.out.println("Hello");
    The compilation is ok... but it does not display anything... how come?

    "System.out.print()" prints to the log file of the tomcat server. in order to print on the screen use JspWriter.
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class test extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,
    ServletException {
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println("Hello");
    //System.out.println("Hello");
    Hope this helps!

  • Hp all-in One remote prints test page but cannot find printer for anything else

    The HP All-in-One application can print test pages on my 8610 but when I go to any document or photo and try to print I get the following message "This Printer is not available." I have checked and have the latest version of the HP All-in-one Printer Remote application and the HP Print Service Plugin applications from the Google Play store. I am using a Samsung Galaxy 5 running Android 5.0. If I print a page from my laptop using wireless to this printer, I can see the All-in-One application tracking my printer status so I know it can see the printer.  The app on the phone will show the status under the printer name going from Ready to Unavailable to Ready as a document is printed and then finished. I am printing directly with local WIFI and am not using the ePrint feature.

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I'd like to help you with the issues you are having printing from your Samsung Galaxy S5 to your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One printer. Firstly, do you have the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? The printer has a power moderator built in, so if it is plugged into a power surge bar or battery backup it may be getting inconsistent power. This can cause all kinds of firmware glitches (like the printer status not being broadcast properly). If that doesn't immediately resolve the issue, please follow the steps below: Network Power Reset: Let's leave the router on and unplug the power cable (NOTE: Do not reset the router.), then do the same with the printer, and shut down the computer. After a full minute, plug the router back in, wait for it to fully power up, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid. Once both the router and printer are on, go ahead and turn the computer back on. Doing this will refresh the network connection. Restore Network Defaults and Reconnect:  1. On the front panel of the printer, touch your wireless icon at the top2. Select Settings.3. Select Restore Network Defaults.4. Restart your printer.5. Once it's booted back up, touch the wireless icon again.6. Select Settings.7. Select Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the prompts to enter your wireless network details.8. Try enabling the web services again. Another thing I would suggest, would be to download the HP ePrint app, rather than the All-in-One Remote. The Remote is moreso suited for scanning to your phone from your product, so I would suggest trying the ePrint app (you can download it from the Play Store). If the issue persists after these steps, please answer the following questions so I'm better able to assist: Are you able to print reliably from any other devices on your network?What brand and model of router are you using?What is it that you are trying to print? (ie. E-mail, photo, document)What app are you printing from? (Some Android apps have a direct printing feature)I look forward to hearing back from you and working towards a resolution to this issue!Have a great weekend.

  • Will not print anything but Pdf files!

    If I try to print anything at all other than a PDF file from Adobe only(other readers will not even work) very little of the page prints if anything at all. For example, I was trying to print a shipping label off of the website, and the only thing that would print was the barcode. Nothing else. I actually had to convert it to a pdf file and open it with Adobe, and then it printed perfectly. I have tried reinstalling, restarting, using the HP support doctor, which says absolutely nothing is wrong with my printer. I am at a loss to why it will only print pdf files from Adobe. Can anyone please help me?! I forgot to mention it worked perfectly about a month ago. We don't print a whole lot and didn't notice it was messed up until just a few days ago.

    Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Deskjet 1512 All-in-One Printer, nothing is printing, except Adobe PDF files. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, you indicate in your post that you had tried to print a shipping label from a website, and only the barcode prints. However, if you open the file up and print it from Adobe it appears to print fine. This leads me to believe that the actual issue that is occuring is a print system issue with the black cartridge. I know it may come as a surprise to hear that as Adobe is printing fine. However, when you print from certain programs on your computer the file is sent to the printer as an 'image' file. If your printer 'thinks' it is printing an image it will use a mixture of colour ink and black to print the black document. Therefore, what you may actually be seeing when you print from Adobe is colour ink mixed. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer and this will help us to isolate this printing issue. Please follow the steps below.  How to Print a Quality Report: Load clean, white U.S. Letter or A4 paper in the input tray, if necessary.Press and hold the Power button. While holding down the Power button, press and hold the Cancel button. Hold them both down for 2 or 3 seconds.The test page prints. (1) Printed with the tri-colour cartridge(2) Printed with the black cartridge  If this Report prints perfectly: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is not being caused by your products print system. Rather, there may be a driver conflict occuring between your Windows computer and your printer. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time.  If this Report prints with missing black or other quality issues: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your products print system. To resolve this hardware issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please choose the Windows 8 dropdown. Next, follow the steps under Solution one, Solution five, Solution six, and Solution seven. This includes any sub steps under the listed Solutions to complete. Once troubleshooting has been completed please print another Quality Diagnostics Report to confirm if the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of printing the Quality Diagnostics Report. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Can not print from preview after Lion Update

         I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages.  So I don't think it's a printer/driver error.  Help?

    I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

  • Setting Up Google Chrome Features for Cloud Printing from an Android Device

    These steps are organized for optimal setup procedure and to decrease the time it would take to set this option up from start to finish. This is a lengthy process and is more for possibly troubleshooting issues that may arise during the setup of Google Chrome's Cloud Print feature. However, if you have an Android phone or tablet and are interested in being able to print virtually anything at anytime from anywhere from your phone to any brand of printer regardless of setup, there is a way. And this is how:
    Open/Install Google Chrome onto a computer
    Sign in with personal email to access the same Google Chrome account you intent to print from
    Download Google Drive as an external storage you can access from anywhere
    Open Google Chrome Settings (three lines stacked on top of each other)
    Scroll down to the bottom of settings and click "Advanced Settings"
    "Sign in/add printers/manage printers" are three of the print options you may see here 
    Follow this link for information on:
    adding a classic printer to this option:  https://support.google.com/cloudprint/answer/1686197?rd=1
    how to add an HP ePrint email:  https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html#info-hp
    on registering the email of that printer (HP registration page):   https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/setup-hp.html
    8.  add the printer to this section of Google Chrome
    9.  at the bottom of the page you will see "Send a test page/print test page" (that will be useful later)
    10. at the top of this page is the option to share this printer with other Google Chrome users
    11. Open Google Drive from www.google.com (likely displayed at the top of the webpage)
    Can create a new document of any file type, upload, draw, etc
    Leave computer on if intending to print from off the network or another location
    The next steps are in regards to printing from a mobile device:
    Install/open Cloud Print App
    Add personal email account associated with Google Chrome
    Select printer management if on the same network as the printer
    Select Web tab and Google Drive if not on the same home network
    Find earlier test page in Google Drive Documents
    To locate other documents one could find many applications within this app or
     In another app like Documents To Go, you can select to send previously saved documents (like one might send an email on the Android) to the Cloud Print app to open, view, and print
    Print Test Document – this function means the printer has officially been added now
    In Google Drive, but within the Cloud Print app, you can select the printer that was added to this network or from "Printer Management Options."
    There are many ways to determine if your printer is still connected (offline, ready, etc.) but after confirmation that the printer is available, print jobs rest in the print queue until the printer receives the command to print.  Then the documents are stored and available for reprinting.
     Converts most print jobs to .pdf but prints most file formats from other applications as well
    In Printer Management advanced settings
    You can add a contact from the phone to use this printer
    Set as default
    See an extensive page of setup and printing options
    *After a test print while the computer was off the document did not print and the printer appeared offline until approx. 4 min after computer was rebooted, then the document printed automatically.
    Also if a document does not print, the troubleshooting guide on the phone suggested logging out of Google Chrome Cloud Print but I was unable to find that option it was suggesting (unable to log out)
    To completely finish adding any additional Google Chrome accounts that wish to share this printer using the suggestion in step 10, you must log into the email that was added and select ADD PRINTER from within the email that was sent for the confirmation and follow the link and instructions on how to do this from your email.
    Google Chrome and Google Drive support Windows, MAC, and Linux
    You can also change share options, privacy settings, etc. but if you choose to go with the two-step verification process, you may not be able to add your Google Chrome email account to the app without a 16 digit code generated within Google Chrome Privacy Settings for your app (not recommended)
    Now you have the option to also email any document to either the Cloud Print App or HP ePrint from the phone/tablet without actually accessing the app first.  Locate the document, press the menu button for more options, select "Send to" and a list of available apps will appear.  Choosing Cloud Print or HP ePrint sends the document or photo directly to the "print" function within the apps, instead of opening the app first and then searching for what it is you want to print.
    **computer connected to printer must be on**
    Requirements:  a) Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Cloud Print mobile app  b)  These steps outline the use of an Android device on the network for setup  c) will need the computer connected to the printer to be on at all times   d) go to this webpage http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/  if you have any more questions.
    Available features of Cloud Print App
    a.  Print all file formats from Google Drive (uploaded or create)
    b.  Has an internal notepad and drawing tool
    c.  Prints off all contacts and phone numbers as well as specified text messages
    d. The scan option actually just means take a picture
    e. Without Cloud Print Pro you get 5 days to test the features of printing Facebook pictures, Drop Box and Schedules before those features are no longer available

  • Installed a new harddrive in my macbook pro. cannot connect to hp photosmart all in one printer!!

    I, recently, installed a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro Laptop Computer (2007 model).
    Now, I cannot print out anything on my HP Photosmart  C7180 All-In-One Printer! They don't 
    seem to be connected, as the printer icon shows up on my computer,  and then, immediately, evaporates
    into thin air.
    How do I connect my HP Printer to my laptop, now that I have a new harddrive installed?

    Hello Lady22:
             When you received your printer you should have received two insulation disks one is for Windows computers and the other one is for Mac ( Apple Computer) If you have the disks please install Mac disk.  Apple computers do search and down load the parcel software so you can do basic printing commands. You need to find the program that is some where in your computer that allows you to hook up Pinters and Devices. Ounce you find this open it up then connect the printer cable to the lap top. The computer program will list HP's printers yuo need to select your printers model number. Then it will down load the drivers for it to run basic commands. Ounce they are download run a test to make sure it is working right. Contact HP's store and asked them to send you a new set of insulation disk. Your old disk may have fine dust film on them. Clean them off pior to inserting them If you use glass cleaner and fine cloth make sure they are dry off before you insert them. If you used them before maybe a speck of dirt blocked out parcel program that caused it not to install correctly . frrw

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 cant print pdf no error

    My husband has an emachine desktop with HP Deskjet D4160, 512 RAM and Adobe reader 8.1.2 ... I have a Sony Vio desktop, 1.5 gig RAM, a second printer same model, and the Adobe reader 8.1.2. The 2 computers are not networked. Both of us are using windows XP operating system. We both have the same problem since we installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2, we are unable to print any pdf file. We do not get any error messages.
    After we select print, you can hear the printer click a couple times as though it was getting ready to print, then nothing. There is no printer icon in the tool bar showing that the printer has anything pending. If you open up the printer it also shows Printer is ready with no pending documents. Again, it does not show any errors or warnings.
    I have searched the forum and knowledgebase, found some suggestions where people had an error message to report. I tried what was suggested there including changing going into "Comments and Forms" ... Document and Markup, then changing that to just Document. Didn't change anything.
    This is getting pretty frustrating have both computers with the same problem and have PDF documents that need to be printed. I sure would appreciate some ideas on how to correct the problem. OH .. I also checked for updates from Adobe and we are current, both computers have Service Pack 2 and are current with updates. Windows XP is also updated several times a week with any current patches or updates.

    You may need to check the Reader forum. I have no idea why the problem exists, but it may be that it is something particular to Reader and not Acrobat. The link for the Reader forum is at the top of this forum.

  • How do I print a pdf to a pdf without my computer needing to restart?

    I work in the lending field, and the system we use to print out loan documents uses Adobe and has the documents in a fillable pdf.  Currently we print inside the program to pdf, and then once all documents are created we right click on the selected docs and choose "Combine Documents" to create the entire loan package.  Some of these documents are printed in the original system, and some are documents others have sent in via fax.
    Currently this is doing two things.  The system we are using to do the loan application and print the documents freezes up regularly.  And secondly when I print fillable pdf documents that are outside the program I go to File -> Print and the print options never come up so I have to restart my computer before I can print to anything at all.  These two issues are sporadic and not all the time.
    I have been told this is because Adobe never designed the program to allow printing a pdf to a pdf document and does not want this happening, so I tried saving the documents instead of printing them but then there are issues with the data entered into the fillable spots changing (we often have multiple of the same fillable pdf being merged and it changes the account number on all the forms to the account number on the first form).  We need a way to keep the data entered in the way it was entered.
    Can anyone suggest a better way to take fillable pdf documents from one program and keep the data entered while combining them all together?  Is it possible the printing the pdf to another pdf is why the computer is having all these issues?  Please note we have been doing the documents this way for 3 years and this just started happening.  We are on Adobe Acrobat X Standard; version 11.0.06 if that helps.  I am a little lost as a to where to go from here.

    In Acrobat Pro flatten the form fields of the documents. After this combine the documents.

  • Why can't I print a document from a website using Adobe reader?

    Adobe has been bugging me to update to latest version, so I finally did (got so sick of it popping up all the time on my screen).  Now that I have, I can't print out anything off a website.  It keeps saying, "Document cannot be printed" or something like that - and then it tells me that no document is selected, yet it clearly is selected.  Anyone know what's going on?

    What is your operating system & version?
    What is your web browser?
    What is your Adobe Reader version?
    How do you print - from the browser's print function, or from the Reader toolbar?
