One computer on network will not print.

I am using a HP LasterJet P2055dn network printer on a small office network that has 3 computers on it. All computer are wired. For some reason I can not get one of the printers to print. It is using XP. I have used all the HP utilities to try and fix the problem and they all say it should be working fine. Any suggestions?

OK, are your firewalls disabled (Windows & Securty Program)?
If so, you may want to delete the printer and then re-add it in Printers (Start, Printers).  Here is how (these are for XP, Vista 64 will be similar):
Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address in a browser.
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

  • My hp 100 mobile printer will only print one page then quits. will not print all of the pages.

    my hp 100 mobile printer will only print one page then quits. will not print all of the pages.  i have rebooted, new install, and reset. still the same thing. when i look it shows that it is printing but there is nothing happing. i use this with my lap top.

    Hello colt1,
    Are you using Bluetooth or USB cable to connect to the printer?  Did you install from the disc, or from the online program?  When it sits there and doesn't print, does it eventually give error messages, lights flashing, etc.? 
    Thanks,

  • HP Laserjet 4100 on network will not print

    Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
    My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
    I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
    I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
    Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
    Any suggestions?

    I am struggling with the same problem. I have two HP 4100dtn printers on ethernet. Each has a manually assigned IP address. I can set up the printer(s) just fine in the Print & Fax Preference and Snow Leopard finds the printer just fine when I enter the IP address and chooses the correct HP Driver.
    When I try to print, my print job appears in the queue as expected, than an error appears that something about a "bad command". Sorry, I'm home right now and don't have direct access to the printer so I can't give you the precise language of the message, but the gist of the message is that the system tried to connect to the printer to send the print data but the printer does not know how to respond to the command that was sent.
    It's as if the firmware in the 4100 just doesn't have something in it's lexicon that Snow Leopard needs. The HP web site is no help. One page I found says the printer is supported (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&obje ctID=c01664444&jumpid=regR1002USEN ) and another page I found says that it is not supported (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&obje ctID=c01879014&jumpid=regR1002USEN). The HP on line chat won't let me log in and hold a chat with HP unless I know the Serial Number of the printer, which I don't have here at home.
    More to follow tomorrow.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Have Photosmart Premium All-in-one, model c309a. Will not print a test page as the default printer.

    Have gone through all diagnostics offered online by HP, but to no avail.  Am hooked up wirelessly and all connections say OK.  The print queue just keeps building up until i clear it.  Have checked ink cartridges, power reset procedure and also the Embedded Web server, print driver and port,verified that is not paused or offline, restarted the print spooler, checked the software program and removed and reinstalled the HP software.  It just will not print.  Will copy but not print.  Help!!

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    The printer is connected wirelessly to my router, which is connected with cable to my WinXP computer.
    I can see the web server, all pages report everything is normal and ready. 
    I can ping from my computer to the printer.
    I had no success getting the HP software on the CD to install, but the ~ 200 MB download version installed at least. However when the software probes to see what printers are available, it just doesn't see the printer (even though I can access its web server).
    I finally got my wife's computer (Win 7 64 bit) to connect, but don't know exactly what I did to make that happen.
    I noted that HP has a new version of firmware for the printer, so that will be tomorrow's project.

  • Office jet 4620 on network, will not print

    I have an Office Jet 4620 on my wireless network at home.
    It has worked well until I installed a new router. The network sees the printer, I have entered my network password into the printer software.
    When I try to print the printer makes a little noise then locks up. The only way to get the printer to turn off is to pull the power cord.
    Any ideas?

    Hello kalister1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 4620 will not print. I will do my best to assist you! I am going to suggestion two options for you to try:
    Please follow this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Also, I would recommend following this HP document on Sleep Mode Issues. Your printer could be going into a sleep mode, this is why you're experiencing this kind of issue.
    Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night.

  • IPAD2 with HP APP and connected to local network will not print?

    IPAD2@ and Netgear and Photosmart plus B210a.
    Will not print e-mail on Safari?

    Hello HarryE,
    What model of Netgear do you have? Have you ever been able to print from your IPad 2? You can try to unplug the router, then the printer and then turn off your ipad 2, then restart the router and when all the lights are back on, turn on the printer, then turn your ipad 2 back on, and then try printing again. Reply back if you still have issues!!

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1215 on XP home network will not print from second computer.

    Win XP SP3 home network with two computers and one HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer(USB) that is shared.   Computer one prints just fine, but second computer cannot print.
    Print job goes to the queue and says "printing" and stays there for about two minutes and then says "error - printing" and then I have to delete the print job from the print queue.
    Downloaded latest CP1215 print driver and installed it to second computer, added printer just fine.  No errors until the print job enters the queue. Downloaded the CP1215 Diagnostic Utility, but it will not work on second computer.  Have not tried it on first computer when job errors.

    The Firewalls are disabled and from my laptop you can view all of the shared
    Folders on the Desktop with the CP1215 attached via USB.
    When I issue the print from my laptop that is on the same network, you see the
    print file show up in the CP1215 print queue of the Desktop the CP1215
    is USB attached to and then disappears about 15 seconds later.  Here is
    how it appears on in the Desktop CP1215 Print Queue before it disappears
    Doc Name            Status      Owner     Pages    Size            Submitted            Port
    E-mail print           Printing      Guest          1      547 KB     2:00pm 08/26/09      USB003
    I've also download/installed the latest drivers.  When I reinstall the CP1215 on my laptop from
    the Desktop, the "PRINT TEST PAGE works from the Laptop but then all print commands after
    that do not work.
    I see from my Google search I'm not the only one having this problem
    ANY IDEAS what to try next?

  • 1505n printer wired to network will not print configurat​ion for IP address

    I have a HP 1505n printer that will not the configuration page so that I can get the IP address to set it up. I know it's not the cat5e cable because I've tested it by plugging my laptop to and it works fine.  The operating system is Windows 2008r2. I currently have 2 other 1505n printers which work great using a HP universal driver. Cat5e cable unplugged it will print and UBS cable connected to a PC it will print a usb config page. I followed HP's advice on resetting the printer but get the same results. Any suggestions?

    I can print wirelessly from my laptop, but not my desktop. The printer shows on the list, checked as the default, and READY, but document does not seem to find its way there. It never shows up in the print queue.

  • Creative zen plus works on one computer but it will not connect to my lap

    I am trying to connect my creative zen plus to my laptop. I have been using it on my desktop. When I plus it in, I click open songs/files in folder, and it is as simple is that (I drag my songs into and out of my MP3 player).
    I just tried plugging it into my laptop, and nothign happened. I then installed the software. Now, when I plug it into the laptop, I get a "found new hardware" message, but I cannot open up the folder to view the files like I do on my desktop. When I click the zen organizer, it says "device not found." Is there something that I need to install or update? I am sure that there is a way for me to be able to use this on both computers. Thanks for the help!

    You need to install the software on the laptop before plugging the player in. Uninstall it then load it up again. If that doesn't work, this is the advice I got and it worked first time out:
    . Please connect the player to another USB port. Use the ones on the
    back of the computer. Remove all other USB devices. If you have another
    computer, please try to test the player on that too.
    2. Ensure that you are logged in as Administrator or have Administrator
    rights assigned to you on the computer.
    3. Check Device Manager and see if the player is detected.
    a. Click Start and Control Panel (or Settings then Control Panel)
    b. If the Control Panel is being displayed in the Category View (the
    option Switch to Classic View should appear in the left pane), click
    Performance and Maintenance and System. If the Control Panel is being
    displayed in the Classic View (the option Switch to Category View should
    appear in the left pane), double-click System
    c. Select Hardware and then Device Manager.
    Your player should be listed under Windows Portable Devices. Please
    check if the computer sees it as a MTP Device.
    If there is an error or a yellow exclamation mark next to the device,
    right click the player listing and select Update driver.
    Alternati'vely, you can uninstall the device, and reinstall it. Highlight
    the MTP player listing, and press the Delete key on your keyboard, which
    will uninstall the MTP device; click Actions ,and then click Scan for
    hardware changes. Windows will install the necessary drivers.
    That worked fine for me.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One Will Not Print Blue Ink - It Prints Pink Instead

    HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One -
    Issue:
    Blue ink will not print (It prints the color pink instead.).
    Actions taken:
    1.  Cleaned ink heads.
    2.  Replaced ink cartrige.
    3.  Reinstalled software.
    Sugestions by HP customer service:
    Purchase a new printer: Because the issue is software related - not reading the blue ink cartrige.
    Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time!
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan

    The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged.  I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here.  If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

  • HP 3520 will not print in black

    I replaced the HP black ink cartridge with a new one and now it will not print black at all on my HP3520 Deskjet.
    The color cartridges are printing okay.
    I followed suggestions from your web site and did multiple cleanings of the printhead.  The air vents are clear on top also.
    I believe the printer is out of warranty.  I see a lot of other people have the same problem with the black ink.
    Any suggestions?
    Carvcom

    Hi carvcom,
    I saw that you were having a black ink out issue with your Deskjet 3520 and wanted to see if that problem had been resolved!
    I just want to make sure that you've covered all of the steps within this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document.
    If you have and the problem persists it would be time for you to call in to HP Tech Support and inquire about a product replacement, regardless of your warranty status.
