Please help - printer jammed?

I have an HP OfficeJet L7580 that i got through a grant at work. I need it to work to print out lesson plans, etc.
It had a paper jam, I removed it, but the printer thinks it is still jammed. I have opened all doors on the printer multiple times to check, turned it on and off and unplugged it, even tried turning it sideways, to no avail. Is this a problem with the computer chips in the computer, or is there a miniscule scrap in there somewhere? I can try to take it to an office supply store to have it serviced or is there a place online or method to reboot the circuits in the printer so it doesn't think it is jammed?
Thanks,
EG

Try this:
1. While the printer is still turned ON, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer and from the wall outlet.
2. Wait for a minute or two.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet.
4. While the power cord to the back of the printer is still unplugged, press and hold the POUND (#) and SIX (6) keys at the same time. While holding the two keys, reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer and after two seconds, release the two keys.
5. Turn ON the printer if it won't turn ON automatically and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Let me know if it helps you.

Please Help Printer Problems

I have just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have a Mac Book, iBook G3 and a Win XP Laptop that I have so far connected to the network.
On the base station itself I have a Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive and an HP Photosmart C4180 all in one printer connected via a USB hub.
All the computers can see the external hard drive but I can only get the Win XP Laptop to print. The two Apple laptops will not print.
One last thing all my computers connected to the internet wirelessly via my BT Fusion Home Hub before buying the base station. When I first installed the base station I connected the WAN port to the BT hub. As far as the base station is telling me everything must be setup right as I have the solid green light.
What am I doing wrong. Please help I love Apple products and really do not want to send this back.

I'd like to suggest you go to www.tune-up.com and download and install this program.
You get a 30 day free trial to start. If you sign up as a reseller you can get the program for $29 after that.
I'm not an employee of the company but I just recommend the program as it has fixed many a friends
problems and has kept my computers and my familys computers running straight and clean with no problems.
Even if you don't buy the program after using it and it fixes your problems you can uninstall it and consider it a blessing.
I'm sure once you see what it can do you will think twice to buy it.
Other than that, I don't know much about your system to even begin to try to tell you what to do as a troubleshooter.
It could be any number of things that are wrong with it. Number one, the registry might be really messed up.
Tune-up will fix that fix off for you. A computer is like a car, it has to be kept in tune in order to keep running right.
Another problem area is malware and viruses. We all know about them but do we ever really know if we might have been bit
by any of them. Most times not until something serious causes us problems. Can I suggest another program you might try?
AVG Internet Security 2011 at www.avg.com. It's another 30 day free trial program. I am also a reseller and have all my computers
and family members registered and using it.
I can tell you that with only these two programs installed on your computer you can rest easy and use your computer without any fears or problems. Let me know how it goes for you. Good luck.

PLEASE HELP:printing to network printer from MacBook to PC

Greetings,
I have a desktop running XP with a HP PSC 1210 attached by USB. Last week I upgraded from an old Windows laptop to a shiny new MacBook. Love it but can't print through the wireless network.
I have:
Followed the ifelix guide and was able to see the printer though the network and add it.
Followed the ifelic guide for troubleshooting and installed the unix tcp/ip printing component of windows. Still no printing.
Installed both the hpisj and esp drivers and added printers on the MacBook selecting each of one of these driver. No printing.
What happens:
The print job becomes active then finishes on the MacBook. It is then sent through the network where it appears as a print job in the queue with the status as 'printing' and then it just sits there and does nothing never going away and doesn't allow other jobs to print after it.
I also tried travelling over 100 kilometers this weekend to the Apple store in Toronto and spoke with a Genius at the Genius bar who, without even trying said that some printers just won't work. When I asked him which printers definitely would work, he had no idea. His only suggestions was to turn print sharing off on the Mac side. Not exactly worth the 3 hours of driving.
So, while I love my MacBook, I have actually lost a much used function that I had on my old crummy laptop; a function that will be dearly missed.
Please, if anyone has any suggestions, I would be greatly appreciative. If I need to provide any more details, let me know.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) iPOD Video 30Gb, Desktop PC

The link you gave is for printing from Classic programs on the same Mac. To print from another Mac running OS 9.2:
1) On the server (with printer attached) enable print sharing both in Sharing prefs and in Print & Fax prefs.
2) again on OS X (server), in Printer Setup highlight the Deskjet and click Show Info and find and write down the queue name. Also find the server IP address in Network Prefs and write it down.
3) On the OS 9 computer, find Apple Printer Utility (usually in Apple Extras) and start it. Create an LPR/LPD printer and enter the IP address and queue name where asked for.
4) Important - For printer model, choose an Apple Color LaserWriter xx as the PPD/model. This entire setup assumes a postscript printer. The good news is that OS X expects to receive postscript input and it translates that for the Deskjet.
PS, it is possible that the HP driver you installed on OS9 could work, in which case you don't need to follow the above postscript procedure. Instead, in Chooser on OS 9, select the appletalk driver for your deskjet and if the printer attached to the server shows up, select it (right side of Chooser) and it may then work. I haven't got an older deskjet to try, so I don't know if it'll work.

Please help, print to file on xserve

Guys I am trying to setup a way to print ps files to a hotfolder.
Since I have access to a xserve I was trying to go that route. I know it can be done by changing the swb.conf file. I just do not know how.
Any feed back would be very appreciated.
Thank you for all the help in advance.
sam

Leif again thank you.
I must be doing something wrong.
Here is my backend command:
#!/bin/sh
cat $6 > "/Volumes/ServerHD/psfiles/"$3".ps"
Here is the permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 57 May 26 14:25 cbnpdffile
Here is the print.conf:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23
# Written by cupsd on Fri May 26 17:20:33 2006
<DefaultPrinter cbn_pdf>
Info cbn_pdf
DeviceURI cbnpdffile
State Idle
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
I can see the printer in the web config. I can even print a test page and it works.
Now when I go to Server Admin I only see that printer as a default printer.
When I go to a browser and hit the print button I see the printer but get an error: error while printing
How can I get other macs on the network to see that printer. I can not see it in the printer setup utility. If as add as a LPD printer, when I try to print I get an error: Network host '10.0.99.105' is busy, down, or unreachable; will retry in 30 seconds ...
Again thank you for all the help.

PLEASE help with Jam Packs

Hi!
My son has a powerbook G4. He has been using Garage Band and Jam Packs for about a year. His HD failed and I was able to recover all the files. Is there a way to get the Jam Packs from what I recovered? We can not find the original disks at this point but have everything that was on the failed HD.
Thanks!
Joe

They might be in several places. Look in
HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops
and in
(User)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops
Other candidates are the Application Support/GarageBand folders in both of the Library folders.

Please help, printing on Mac

Hi there,
I'm trying to implement printing inside java applet using javax.print package. I read an article somewhere about the package not working perfectly under mac, and a workaround is to use the old java.awt.print to get the print services, then use the DocPrintJob to print.
The SimpleDoc I use for capturing the image that I need to print works fine, and the printServices are there. The problem I have is it's giving me an 'invalid flavor' exception when clicking 'Print' on popup PrintDialog.
It seems that the mimetype is what's causing the problem, as the printer's supported mime type is "application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref". (note that, on PC the printing works fine, with Doc flavor mimetype as image/png and the image I need to print in png format). I tried switching the flavor to SERVICE_FORMATTED.RENDERABLE_IMAGE, printing an ImageDoc class which implements Doc and RenderableImage, but 'invalid flavor' exception still occurs.
I don't know much about printers on Mac, so I'm not sure what I can do about it, is it something that can be controlled from the Applet or it's something that the user has to set in the system - the Applet can only warn the user and tell the user to do the configuration.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ken,
Relax, there are no viruses on Macs. Now, as far as your Mac running slower and slower let's see if we can figure out what's wrong.
Try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If that's not it, we'll try something else. Let us know.

Please help, printer is not working "ink system failure"

Hi,
Any help appreciated. My printer is Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer.
As of 2 days ago my printer has not been working. It comes up with several error messages after I switch it on. The first one is "Ink system failure: Ink system has failed. Unable to copy, recieve faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation. Error: 0xc18a0105. Turn power off then on again."
However when I turn power off then on again via the 'power' button, ".ink system failure Then the same original error message comes up (0xc18a0105). This is the most frequent error message and won't go away. Then I also keep getting a message saying "Photo Tray Problem: Lift output tray up, verify the photo tray is pushed in until it stops, lower output tray". Despite the fact that I have not used the photo tray in several months and it is in the correct position.
So far I have tried switching the printer on and off several times using the power button. I also switched the printer off at the plug last night (after it had been properly shut down) and switched it back on this morning. I have looked through the printer documentation but could not find any troubleshooting advice for this kind of problem. I have updated the HP driver using software update on my mac, and the problem is still there.
I'm getting desperate now, I rely on my printer/scanner/photocopier a lot!
Thanks

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

Why is print in grey and PDF not a saving option for only one of my photoshop files? All other files I open are fine. Please help!

I am trying to turn a photoshop document in to a pdf. Print is in grey and under Save As PDF is not an option. Any other PS document I open allows me both options. What is wrong with this document?!
What I have tried and was unsuccessful:
I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

Here is what I see...
It is in RGB color / 32 bits/channel
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it. Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout. If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want. Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days.

B210 printer no longer scans or copies I have tried everything please help!

I do not copy or scan very often but today I tried to scan important documents and I no longer have the scanning or copying capability. I can print perfectly from the computer. I have tried everything (I believe) including reinstalling the software. Can anyone please help. I have important documents that needed to go out tonight. Time is money. Thanks in advance.

Hi msiayoyo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to scan or copy with your HP Photosmart B210a, you can print with no problems. Are you getting any error messages on the front panel when you attempt the copy or scan?
I know you have completed some troubleshooting already but I would like you to continue here: A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
A few tips:
1. Try another wall outlet then the one you normally use, for testing purposes.
2. Make sure you have no power bars or surge protectors as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time, plug the printer directly into the outlet.
3. Try to make a copy from the front panel, what happens?
If you are still not able to make a copy after ALL the troubleshooting has been done, it is more than likely the printer hardware. I would then suggest calling our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
