Out of Paper Problem

Hi,
I am a college student and I just got the hp envy 4500 e-all-in-on series. I have the 32- bit on my laptop. I was able to use my printer to scan something one time, and now everytime I try to print something from my laptop it says Out of Paper when there is a whole stack in there! I really need my printer and it is very inconvenient that it keeps doing this. I have tried reinstalling the software several times and it hasn't worked. I can't find any videos for my specific problem so I would really appreciate your help!!!
Thanks,
Shelby Smith

Photosmart C309a out of paper lock up problem

System: Windows7 - 64 bit OS
Photosmart C309a printer is locked in an “out of paper” mode even when there’s paper in the tray.
Events leading up to the lock:
1-Printed a document without a problem.
2-Started to print a second document. Paper feed started, then stopped and the “out of paper” message came up. Checked tray and the sheet that was partially fed was the last sheet in the tray. Hit “ok” button and the partially fed page came out, but the indicator light was still on and paper was in the tray.
3- So I loaded more paper in the tray. The indicator did not go out. Tried to print again and could not. Then I cleared the print queue.
4-Went to the setup mode and successfully printed a printer report. Paper fed fine. Report was printed fine.
5-Tried to print my document again but could not – indicator still says out of paper.
6-Reset the printer: With printer on, unplugged the power plug from the printer, then unplugged the power supply from the power source, waited 30 seconds, re-plugged the power supply plug into the power source, then re-plugged the power plug into the printer. The status did not change. Successfully printed another print report. Repeated this step two more times.
Question: How do I fix this problem?

Hello @bscull, welcome to the forums!
I understand your Photosmart Premium C309a model is showing you an "Out of Paper" error when printing on envelopes. My suggestions to you, would be to follow the steps in the link below, if the option is within your printing program, choose to feed the envelope in a different way, and also try printing them from another program altogether.

Laser Jet Pro MFP M476nw printing lines of nonsense until it runs out of paper

I have a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476nw, and it has begun printing out pages of nonsense symbols until it runs out of paper. This is particularly bad when I print from a website, sometimes from emails, etc., and it is wasting tons of paper. I am extremely dissatisifed with this printer, and it is not even a year old yet. I have tried turning it off and then restarting it, but the problem comes back. Is this normal for this particular all-in-one? I bought it instead of a Brother, which I had last, and expected better for my money.

If the output is repeatable (i.e. exactly the same when reprinting the same document, using the same driver, to the same device), then it is likely that it is caused by a driver (or driver settings) fault.
There may be a more up-to-date driver available, or (depending on the printer model) you may perhaps be able to switch to a driver using a different Page Description Language (i.e. PCL5 or PostScript or PCL6 (the 'marketting' name for the PCL XL PDL), depending on which you are currently using).
If the error(s) is/are random, they are much more likely to be the result of intermittent corruptions of the generated print stream between the workstation and the device (check cables, ports, switches, etc.); it could also possibly be an intermittent problem with the printer itself.

Printer has paper, but computer says it is out of paper and won't print from web

I am having trouble getting the computer to recognize that the printer has paper. The printer will print copies that I put in it, but when I want to print from the web, it won't let me do it; it just tells me that the printer is out of paper. I printed a number of pages from the web yesterday with no problem at all. I have an HP Deskjet F2430.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I was trying to print off some material I had looked up on the web. When I saw what I was trying to print was going to be 40 pages, I did not want to continue printing it, and I did not know how to stop the printing, so I just pulled out my paper from the loader thing. I have since put paper back in the loader, but now my printer will not print anything, and says I am out of paper. I have tried and tried to fix this problem, and I really need to be able to print stuff, so I am pretty frustrated with this. I am a senior citizen and will admit that I am not all that astute with tech stuff. I would certainly appreciate some guidance with my problem. Thank you very much.

Why does my printer say it's out of paper when I try to print a photo saved in folders on my compute

Until recently my printer would print pictures saved up on my computer. All of a sudden my HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One won't print. The photo tray goes in like it should, full of paper, but in a few seconds comes back out and the screen as well as the printer says that it is out of paper. What can I do to fix this problem.

PDF files that do not print out on paper but are OK on screen

Print PDF files when produced in ADOBE XI from Excel 2010 worksheets
The PDF files appear ok on the screen but do not print out all of the text on paper.
Formating is recognised and printed oK but not text.
Font segoe UI size 9 point - colours used default, blue and brown. What little that is printed shows all colours OK but not all body of text
This problem has been reported to me from dozens of my Clients and I have the same problem when printing hardcopy.
Can anybody help ?

I tried a font change on an abstracted part of the original file. I selected Ariel - the majority of the page printed - headers and footers partialy printed. But it is a step forward thank you.
My choice of Font Segoe UI (True type) font as a default was after reading an article which stated that Segoe and another font, were fast becoming a "Microsoft computer standard font".
A further question falls out of my problem is why is there no problem when a client of mine converted the original Excel Workbook with Adobe 9 and had no such problem ?.
I do not have ADOBE 9 and cannot test it myself - but why should it work with an older version of ADOBE ?

Please help!!??!!

My 8600 printer (fairly new) will not print: Displays "out of paper". It is NOT out of paper.

I have followed all instructions on the 8600 printer on internet. What do I do to get it printing again.
Just displays "out of paper." I have removed the paper, fanned it, jogged it, etc., but no go.

Try the troubleshootings steps in this document and this document.

HP 5510v all-in-one using Windows XP 2000 keeps showing out of paper msg. but is not.

Have in the past pulled Jammed paper out through the front (with extreme difficulty I might add) but finally read online to open door in back to relieve jam. Anyhow, could I have messed up some sensor or something by doing that? Have tried unplugging and etc., but nothing clears problem. Machine will sometimes print one sheet, but then hear a meshing of roller gears or something, then back to out of paper msg. Printer is maybe 5 yrs. old. Really liked up to now. Thanks in advance.

HP PSC 2175 spits out blank paper while I print.

I have Dell GX520 Desktop PC with Windows XP service pack 3 and HP PSC 2175 all-in-one printer. Since few days I m having trouble printing with my printer. When I try to print it simply picks up the paper scans it and spits out blank paper instead of printing it. There is no any error message or flashing light or any thing in the printer.
But still I can make copy or print the test page from it. The only thing is I can't print any document from WordPad or NotePad or through Adobe Reader. I don't have Office on my PC.
I have tried every thing that I can do. Uninstall the driver and reinstalled it downloading from HP website,updated the drivers manually, replaced new cartridges and what not. But I still have the problem. It would be so helpful if you have any solution to this problem.

I'm having the same problem....
The computer is a hp pavilion.
When trying to print, It loads the paper, It checks the paper position, then it just ejects the paper.
I opened the print job que and watched it.
When the print job ques up, it shows the job...then deletes the job before printing it.
It has been working fine up until a few days ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

My computer says i am out of paper when i am not

my computer shows its out of paper, when its not

Unie,
If your Printer indicates the error, then what you do depends on your printer's model.
You can look up the troubleshooting tips for your printer:
Open HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
Open tab "Troubleshooting" > Select Solve a problem > Jam and Feed Problems >
Select An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays ...
The exact wording may vary. The point is to find the document that most closely matches your situation.

Can I set an HP LJ4000T to stop printing if Tray 2 runs out of paper while leaving AUTO CONTINUE ON?

I'm dealing with an issue here where I'd like my HP LJ4000T to stop printing completely if Tray 2 runs out of paper. Currently it automatically prints to Tray 3 which has a different paper type.
On the other hand, I'd like to keep AUTO CONTINUE set to ON. Can this be done or is this just a direct contradiction?

I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.
