Not Printing from a Win 7 PC to Lion Server

I have a Mac Mini running OS X Lion Server. It has three printers connected and shared: A Samsung ML1550, a Canon MP510 and an Epson R1800.
All works well and I am able to print to the wired or wirelessly using my Macbook Pro.
The trouble starts when I try the same thing with my "Work" Dell Laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit and Bonjour for Windows.
Bonjour for Windows finds the printers and adds them to the Windows 7 Printer Control panel... all looks well.
Then, when you print from windows the print get spooled but vanishes into thin air.
It disappears from the WIndows print queue, but never appears on the print queue on the Mac Mini.
This happens for any of the three printers.
Any ideas?
Andy

No solution so far. I have taken to printing to a PDF file and then copying the PDF to the Mac Mini for printing, which is far from ideal. 
Incidentally if  I connect the printers to an Apple Time Capsule USB port and try printing from Windows I get the same behaviour: it spools into thin air and never prints.

  • My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

    My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
    The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam. 
    Best regards,

  • Hp envy 4500 will not print from windows 8. Thinks it prints, but it doesn't.

    Am trying to print from my Toshiba laptop running Windows 8 to my HP Envy 4500 wirelessly. Works fine from my ipad, works fine from my desktop and laptop running Windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer driver 5 times. Printer is recognized, has an IP addrress, and will print an internal test page. When I print to it from my Windows 8 machine, the file goes in the queue, gets a port, and then disappears as if it was printed. Nothing prints. Please help, this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

  • I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

    I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
    I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
    We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
    I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
    I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
    Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
    Thanks,

  • LaserJet Pro Scans, prints test page but will not print from a file

    I installed a LaserJet Pro200 MFP M276nw on my wife's Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7 64Bit OS) laptop yesterday (Printer is brand new out of the box). I installed with a wireless connection. It will print a test page and also scan wirelessly but will not print from a file i.e. a PDF. I installed it on my HP Probook this morning and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The thought of paying Geek Squad 75 bucks rubs me the wrong way, especially since i just paid them 100 for an extended warranty. Thanks!

    Welcome to the HP Forums JBottensek,
    I see by your post that the printer won't print a PDF document from the one computer.
    I can help you with this issue.
    I have provided a document to go through the steps which should resolve this issue for not being able to print PDF documents. Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A not printing from black cartridge

  • My new Officejet Pro 8500a on a Windows XP machine will not print from the Internet.

    I just purchased and installed an Officejet Pro 8500a all-in-one and everything seems to work fine except that the maachine will not print from the internet.  I use Windows XP home and and the Firefox browser.  The printer is connected directly to the computer, and is not directly connected to the Internet or any other network.

    The Officejet 8500 printers take individual ink cartridges (IIC); that machine requires that all cartridges be installed to ensure that the printhead does not get damaged. Ink is used in the printer not just for printing, but maintain the printer and the printhead. One can reduce the amount of color ink the printer uses by changing the printer settings to Grayscale or use black ink only. Page 34 of the user manual shows how one can change those settings when printing documents. For further information on how ink is used in the printer; one can look as this page here where it goes into detail on the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
    I would just replace the color cartridge that the printer indicates needs replacing when the machine alerts you to low ink. I would not replace all colors at once when only one is in need of replacing.  
    I hope that this helps.

  • Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

  • Printer will not print from laptop

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer multiple times and it will still not print from my lap top.  I have spent hours on this and am just about ready to give up.  It will print from my tablet but not the laptop.  It says there is a document in the print queue for about 2 seconds and then doesn't print and shows that there are no documents in the queue.

    Hi @sralong0929, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to help you print from your computer running Windows 8.1.  I understand that currently your print jobs are going to the print queue and vanishing after only a couple seconds, and worse of all, the print job doesn't print!  
    Please complete the recommended solutions presented in the following document, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print (Windows 8).
    I hope this helps, and look forward to hearing back from you.

  • My 6310 All in One will print a test page but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. WTH?

    My HP 6310 will print a test page fine, but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. It goes thru the motions, but the image printed is almost not there. I have new ink cartridges in it. I have adjusted the print settings. STILL won't print properly. WTH???

    Hm, okay, thanks for getting back to me again!
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and test print again.

  • HP 7280 all-in-one says ink cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it copies fine.

    Replaced 2 ink cartridges in hp 7280 but still says both cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it will copy fine.  When I try to print I get a error box that says "Ink cartridges empty - replace black and yellow ink cartridges to continue."  They are brand new - just bought them - expiration date Sep 2015.  Have tried rebooting and disconnecting and reconnecting everything.  Same error, but it still will do color copies fine - all cartridges are working.  Help?! 

    Hi tfmartin,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C7280 that you are unable to print to from your computer. I'm sorry to hear about this, but I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
    Before I can offer any suggestions I do need to know which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and how the printer is connected (wireless or USB). Once I have that information I should be able to help you better. In the meantime, if you're using Windows, please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can assist with the issue at hand
    Hope to hear back from you soon! Have a great day

  • Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

    Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

    The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
    To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
    If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

  • 7520 not printing from photo tray

    Brand New 7520 is not printing from the photo tray.  I am printing from photoshop CS5 and I do not see where I can select the photo tray.  In this instance, I am selecting 4x6 paper, but then it tries to print from the main tray, which I have emptied so I do not continue to print on plain paper. I have browsed some of the previous posts, but I have not been able to find a solution. It there a way that I can tell it to always print photos or a certain size paper from the photo tray? The reason I bought this printer was to be able to print small photos. Any assistance would be greatly apprecaited! Ciao!

    I understand now.  I want to provide a document on how to print photos in version 10.6 which should be relatively close to your settings.  If this doesn't help you, let me know and I will gladly hand-write individual steps for you, this is just a little easier at this time.   I have learned from personal experience that the main tray will not even register the photos, as I had a customer one day kept getting an out-of-paper error message during ePrint and he did not know you had to lift up the see-through tray to put photos in there.  That isn't to say it is not possible through a Mac program.  ePrint is really basic so it likes everything to be perfect.   Tell me if the above link helps you.  If not, I have your version of Mac (I believe) and this printer. I will see if I can recreate this if you need me. PS- Thank you so much for providing this picture for me for troubleshooting purposes.  Might I add, that is a beautifully artistic photo.
