Nothing Shows up in my Printer Queue

I have a HP Colour Laserjet CP1515n. I've connected through a USB cable not Via the network. I have installed it and all works fine besides from one thing. Whenever I send a document to print it prints straight to the printer. Therefore nothing goes in to the Print Queue. I then can't delete documents if they are by mistake etc. Does anyone have an Idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks

Yes, I have been through the documentation. I have isolated the problem to the SGD Server by working my way through the checklists. The results on the check for display say:
- Printing services available
- Jobs spooled: 0
Total jobs spooled: 0
I have checked the Printing tab section of the admin console and everything is in order there.
I am not using an array just a single host and trying to configure for the first time.
Ghostscript is found and worked in the scripts.
I tried printing the testpage using the script and I also tried direct but received nothing on the client.
Using the lpstat -t command I get the following:
scheduler is running
system default destination: tta_printer
device for tta_pdfprinter: lpd://acrtek-lab.com/tta_pdfprinter
device for tta_printer: lpd://acrtek-lab.com/tta_printer
tta_pdfprinter accepting requests since Mon Apr 19 15:04:29 2010
tta_printer accepting requests since Mon Apr 19 16:13:16 2010
printer tta_pdfprinter is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 15:04:29 2010
printer tta_printer is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 16:13:16 2010
I have verified that print jobs are transferred from the Application hosts to the SGD Server. I am able to locate them in /opt/tarantella/var/spool where they stay for awhile then they disappear. If I watch the CUPS console I see the job appear and it shows as completed then it appears again as a held job and then eventually aborts.
it appears that what ever is supposed to be sending the job to the client is either not receiving the job or is failing but I am not sure what and cannot find any errors that point to a problem.

Eprint submissions not showing up in hpconnected print queue

I've used eprint for a year or more; suddenly it's not working and the files I submit by email are not even showing up in the hpconnected print queue, under collections.
I have tried several types of files tonight - short emails, word documents, etc, in case a virus was somehow attached. I've submitted from a mobile device and a desktop.
The print queue remains empty.
I have tried from 2 email addresses, both of which I've confirmed tonight are authorized email addresses.
Printer: HP Photosmart C410a
-frustrated.
Thanks!

HI Kelownatom,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that your ePrint jobs are no longer printing and are not showing up in your HP Connected account's print history section.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
Is the ePrint email address in your HP connected account showing the same email address that is being used by your devices?
Is web services still active on your printer?
Is the blue wireless light turned on and not flashing on the front panel of the printer?
How are you sending the ePrint jobs (sending an email to the printer and attaching a file, forwarding an email to the printer with the file attached, sending via the HP ePrint app or the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app)?
One easy step to try is to power off your printer using the on/off button, wait 15 seconds and then turn the printer back on.
Thank you.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

Random print jobs showing up in print queue when printing...

Whenever I print something, one or two other random files will show up in the print queue. The printer will not try and print these additional jobs, and it does not prevent another print job from printing, but each time more random files will show up. The print queue will fill up with these additional jobs until they are manually deleted. What a pain. Does anyone have a solution???

These random files can be communication files and are used to interogate the printer about its status. Typically they will be processed by the printer and then vanish from the print queue. So if they are not being processed and you are having to manually remove them then there could be a setting in the printer that needs to be changed or you have to check from an updated driver.
To confirm if it is the printer queue / driver that is checking the status, you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. You can then select the printer in the top right pane and see its information in the bottom right pane (or if this is the only printer you have the information will appear in the right pane). You will see an entry called Printer Commands. If it shows something like Report Levels then this confirms that these files you are seeing are for checking the printer status.

InDesign files disappear from Epson SP R1800 print queue

I'm on a MAC OS 10.5.8 and using InDesign CS3 5.0.4. I have an Epson SP R1800. When I try to print an InD file it momentarily shows up in the printer queue, but then disappears and nothing happens. There are other printing issues, but we'll address these one at a time.
FYI: Earlier today I downloaded an Epson printer driver v. 6.12 (in an effort to troubleshoot) and installed the driver.
I also tried unplugging the USB cable, reselecting the R1800 as the default printer and restarted twice.
I can print PSD, MS Word and emails on the R1800 successfully. BUT NOT IND FILES.
Desperate in Denver!

The following technote from Adobe might help you out, even though it's not specifically written for your version of InDesign, it might still help point you in the right direction.
Can't print to non PostScript Epson printer from Illustrator or InDesign -
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331376.html
Some other things you could try:
Create new TextEdit document, and try and print it (that confirms your printer is working properly to start out with)
Create new InDesign document, with just one line of text / one page and print it.
If the InDesign document is quite big (many images etc), try printing in smaller chunks, and send image data as Optimised Subsampling (Print dialog / General / Graphics)
If all else fails, you could try the PDF trick from the notes in the above link. E.g. create a PDF first, then print the PDF instead of the InDesign file.

Printing queue stuck

I have AutoCAD 2006 and Adobe Pro X that I have been using for a couple of years. For some strange reason, this past week I have not been able to create "pdf's" from my AutoCAD drawings.. I go to my AutoCAD drawing, select the print option, select Adobe PDF as my printer as always, and hit print. It asks me what file to store the pdf in as always and I select the file to store the pdf in. I hit save button, and it processes right across the screen as always.. However, NO pdf in my job file that I had specified.. I have done this a hundred times the same way with no problems until this past week. Now if I go to start/ printers and devices/ and select the ADOBE printer, there are all of my drawings that I have tried to create this week in queue. They show as "printed' but the note at the bottom of the screen says (10) prints in queue.. Typically once the drawings have processed they do not show up in the printer queue, but there they are as if they have not proceesed.. I went back and restarted my computer to see if that helped, I tried several other drawings and they all are sitting in "queue" in the Adobe printer.. Now I will note that I did try to create a pdf from my AutoCAD drawing directly "through Adobe" and I get a message saying that the file type is not supported.. But I have been doing these Adobe pdf creations for over 2 years.. Why now are they unsupported?? Not sure what has happened or if I have mistakenly hit or clicked on a wrong button or feature, but I need some help.. They seem to process to a point, but just don't make it to the file folder that I had selected. Thanks

If you created a LPD printer queue, then you may not have specified the correct queue name. Some print controllers, especially Fiery, require a specific queue name for LPD. In the case of the Fiery's, you need a queue name of print and it must be entered in lower case.
Another suggestion is to use HP Jetdirect-Socket instead of LPD. This is known as RAW Port 9100 on Windows print queues. With Jetdirect-Socket, you simply need to enter the IP address of the printer. No queue name is required (it is locked to 9100). Then you can select the print model in the Print Using menu and Add the queue.

Adobe Reader 10.0.1 printing queue is enormous in file size

Whenever I print a PDF that's roughly 4KB in size, it shows up in my printer queue as roughly 30MB. It takes forever for it to print if it ever does. A bunch of the users at my company are experiencing the same thing. Depending on what printer it is sent to, the printer may not have enough memory in it to queue the print so the print job fails.
A small work around we found was to set it to, print as image. That reduces the file size small enough to print but is still quite larger than the normal file size.
Is there a way/setting to make these files print normally?
Other files on our PCs print just fine. It's something with Adobe Reader and PDFs.

I am having this same issue in my office. The printer will partially print the document and also spits out a page about the printer being out of memory. Selecting "Print as Image" is our only work around but this sends a large slow page to the printer.
This was not an issue with version 9.

Auto-close print queue windows after my job finishes?

Whenever I print something, a window for the printer opens up showing me the current print queue. That's great. What's not-so-great is me having to keep on closing those windows after they open.
Is there a way for those windows to close themselves after my print job finishes?
Thanks.

Thanks! (I haven't actually tested it yet, but I did bring the printer up in the dock and set the "Auto-Quit" function, so it at least seems plausible that it will work.)
Perhaps a new low in Apple UI design: an option -only- accessible via a Dock Menu?

Canon MX920 print queue is acting strange.

I have a Canon MX920 that normally works flawlessly. A few weeks ago, it started having a strange problem. When printing PDF's, it will occasionaly "hang up" in mid print. The paper feeds, it starts to print (I can hear it printing), then it freezes for about 30 seconds, after which it spits out the partially-printed page. The item being printed still shows up in the print queue, as if it's still printing, but it never prints. Reprinting gets the same results: about 15% of the page prints, then the paper gets spit out. Y=The print queue eventually clears. Powering everything off (PC, printer, router) does not clear the problem. The first time this happened, I spent about three hours trying to get it to work, then gave up and tried again that evening; after sitting for four hours, everything worked again. Today it started doing it again; I can't afford to wait four hours, and I need the printout. I'm printing via wifi; I ordered a print cable, but I can't wait for it to arrive to print this out. HELP!

Server Admin not showing jobs in print queue

Hi All,
I'm not sure if others are having this problem or if it's just me. I am running Mac Server OS X 10.6.7 When I go to Server Admin and select "Print" and then "Job Status", I get a list of all the server's print queues. In the pane below the list of queues, there is a section that says "Jobs on Queue:" which then allows me to select any specific print queue. The problem is, no matter what queue I select, I am never able to see any of the print jobs going through the queue. I have sent multiple jobs to different printers on the server, all while watching the "Jobs on Queue" window for the appropriate printer. In every test, I have never seen ANY print job show up in that window, even though all the print jobs print out fine. I have even tried pausing a printer to let jobs queue up, and still nothing shows up in that window.
I have also tried the same tests while viewing the prints queues from the "Print & Fax" System Preferences pannel directly on the server. Still no luck. Everything prints out fine, but I am unable to ever see any print job hitting the queue.
The reason I even noticed this problem is because a user accidentally printed a 500 page document by mistake. The user called me to stop the job, but I was unable to see anything in the queue to kill. I tried deleting the job directly from the printer, but this just caused the printer to lock up. I would try powering off the printer and restarting it, but as soon as it powered back on, the print job would restart. I even tried restarting the server, but as soon as the server came back online, the print job started again. Finally, after hunting on the web, I tried logging into CUPS via http://localhost:631 and was able to see the print job listed there and finally delete it.
Is there any way to monitor print jobs on the server in real time? I found this previous archived thread describing what appears to the same problems using Mac Server OS X10.5.8, but there was never any solution listed before the thread was archived.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2152737

Is there anyone using printing services on a Mac server at all that could comment on whether or not you see the print jobs listed in the queue when printing?

Print queue shows item in hold

My 2010 iMac shows the number one on the hold icon, but it is grayed out. Also, nothing shows up on the queue listing. I have no problem printing from my desktop Mac, but I cannot print from my laptop over my home network. I have checked the print queue on the laptop with the same results, one file showing on the hold icon (grayed out), but nothing in the print queue listing.
Does anyone know how I may be able to get this cleared so that I can print from my laptop again.

Unclel -
It might be helpful to specify what printer you are trying to use and what Driver version.

My setup: iMac hardline to Canon i960 printer. Issue: endless printing of the same document. The printer window states that the pinter is in use and there is nothing listed in the Print Queue. How can I stop printing the document?

Soution: Delete the printer and add the same printer back in, therefore creating a new print queue.

Jobs show twice in print queue - won't delete and won't print

I have an HP Laserjet P1006 running on a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Printer has worked fine for 8 months but recently ran into problems.
When I send a print job to it, the printer doesn't print. If I open up the print queue, the job shows up twice. If I try to delete the jobs, they don't delete. I can use the HP Print Diagnostic Utility to get the jobs cleared out of the queue, but the same thing happens the next time I try to print something.
A Few Other Items to Note:
- I don't get any error lights on the printer.
- I brought home a laptop from home running XP and installed the printer using the CD. The printer worked fine with that computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the printer hardware.
- I have tried uninstalling the printer, both using the CD that came with it and with the latest drivers/software from the website. Didn't do anything (same problem occurs when printing a test page).
- HP Print Diagnostic Utility doesn't find anything wrong. Likewise, if I right click on the printer and click Troubleshoot, that doesn't help either.
- I've tried restarting the print spooler, but that didn't do anything.

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!

Server Admin doesn't show Print Queue status

When I look at my print queues (all 17) under Server Admin, it shows queue name, # of jobs, shared via (IPP & SMB), and printer kind (HP LJ 1022n and HP LJ P2015). It has a column for status, but this is always 100% empty/blank. Also, if I go to the Jobs tab, then I can pick "Jobs on Queue" for all the queues, but the line below for "Queue Status" is again always blank.
Is there something I can do to get this info to show up in Server Admin? I know that CUPS knows the printer status, as I can go to localhost:631 and see the status in the Printers list and the Jobs list.
It isn't life threatening. It is just annoying to have to go to the web page when Server Admin -almost- gets me everything I need to diagnose a teacher's printing problem remotely.

Hi Keith
You could always consult the Print Service logs. If you set the logging levels to Debug or Debug2 you should get everything. You have to be a bit careful with this as the log can get quite large. Other than that I don’t know of anything that is available out of the box.
There may be others that can suggest a 3rd party solution that gives you the appropriate feedback you are looking for. Opening port 631 should not be that much of risk I would have thought?

HT3669 My macbook pro does not print through my PC to my EPSON RX 500 after loading OS X 10.7.4. It shows on the print queue "error" However, it will print if I directly connect my laptop to this printer via the USB connection. Any ideas?

It's all about setting up what ever version of windows you have running on your pc to share the printer. If you still get stuck post in a windows forum for help.

Printer queue has decided to not show up anymore

Used to be when I print something the printer queue window would appear and list everything in the queue. Not only does that not happen anymore, but also when I go into the printer & fax preferences, and hit 'print queue', nothing happens at all.
A similar thing happens with my bluetooth thing. I turn on the bluetooth to try and transfer files, but when I hit 'send file' nothing happens.
I haven't added any software or anything in a long time, other than keeping up with general Mac software updates.
Any ideas?

Hi Willy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
