PLW NTR prints one page, then a blank, and stops

I have a dependable 18 year old Personal Laserwriter NTR printer which has been running with a Dell running Windows XP for a couple of years. The printer is connected via a parallel cable to the computer. The printer has suddenly started printing only the first page of a multi-page document, then prints a blank and stops printing while the top light on the printer keeps flashing. However, if I open and close the feeder door, the next page and a blank will print, and the cycle repeats. Thinking that the printer driver "broke," I deleted the printer control program from the control panel and installed a new copy of Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR v2010.129 from the XP program. No change in the status. I have used Word, Excel and Wordpad with the same results. Any ideas as to the problem and how to correct? Thanks

This should help you out...

Sometimes sticking solenoids will cause this issue too, but if it were mine, I'd install the kit I mention above first, and see if that fixes it.
Let us know how you fare.
Cheers,
Jason

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,

Printer prints one page followed by blank page

My HP printer will print one page followed by a blank page until the document is complete. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Try changing the 'Page Setup' > 'Format for' from 'Any Printer' to the printer you are using.

Printer prints one page, then stops

I've had my printer for several years. Now, when I try to print a multiple page file, it prints one page and stops. I have to print each page individually. It never used to do this.

Hey , Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. I understand you're encountering a partial print job issue when using your HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 Color Printer. I would like to help. Firstly, I recommend you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows. You can click here to install. This utility might find and fix whatever's ailing your setup. Additionally, if this approach doesn't help, I suggest working your way through the steps listed in this article from HP. It should help rule out potential print queue issues. Lastly, it won't hurt to clear out your temp files as directed below: Clear Temp Folder: Open your Start menu and in the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter.When the Temp folder opens select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboardOnce everything is highlighted in the Temp folder select 'Delete' on your keyboard to delete the files within the Temp folder. No files and folders on your actual computer will be removed. This will only delete Temporary files. If a file is still be used by a program on your computer you will get the pop up to 'skip' the item.Once the Temp files are deleted close the windowOn your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and select Empty Recycling BinPlease let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution. Thanks again for your post and have a great day!

JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

>Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
if(app.documents.length == 0){
   alert("Please open a document and try again.");
   exit();
var myFolder = Folder ("~/Desktop");
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNoExtention = getFileNameOnly (myDoc.name);
var myPrintPrefs = myDoc.printPreferences;
if (app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF") == null) {
   alert("Preset \"PS to PDF\" has not been installed");
   exit();
else {
   myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF");
myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
   var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
   var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
   var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
   var txt = w.add('statictext');
   txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
   txt.alignment = "left";
   w.show()
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
   curPage = myCounter + 1;
   pb.value = curPage;
   var myText = String("Page " + curPage + " of " + myDoc.pages.length);
   txt.text = myText;
   var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
   var cornumber = pagenum(myPageName);
   var myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myNoExtention + "_" + cornumber + ".ps";
   var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
   myPrintPrefs.pageRange = myPageName;
   myPrintPrefs.printFile = myFile;
   myDoc.print(false);
w.hide();
alert("Done!");
function pagenum(myNumber){
   if (myNumber >= 1 && myNumber <= 9)
   x = "0" + "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 10 && myNumber <= 99)
   x = "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 100 && myNumber <= 999)
   x = myNumber;
return x
function getFileNameOnly (myFileName) {
   var myString = "";
   var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
   if (myResult == -1) {
      myString = myFileName;
   else {
      myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
   return myString;

Trying to print one page of a document in duplex - help!

Hi,
I've done a fair bit of work generating postscript from an OpenVMS COBOL system in the past, and while not an expert, have usually managed to produce something that works. This time I'm failing. Can anyone assist.
The problem: I have a document which has to print from 2 trays.
Tray 1: (Headed paper with blank background)
Tray 2: (Special paper with writing on the back)
Up to now it has been a simple simplex job, printing one page on headed paper and then page 2 (and more) on the special paper
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
I have to add a sheet printed on both sides between page 1 and page 2 (A) on the headed side and (B) on the blank reverse.
I tried
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true >> setpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
This produced page 1 on headed, page B on headed with page A upside down on rear. then page 2 on special paper.
I can get A to be the right way up by changing to
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
but still I get page B on the front and A on the back.
if I reverse thus:
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
I get A on the headed side, but upside down, and B on the back (also upside down) and B is stacked first so someone looking at it will see 1 B(upside down) A(upside down on headed), 2
I just want 1 (headed) A (headed), B (reverse of headed), 2 (special)
Can anyone suggest the solution (to an HP Laserjet or 5550dfn if it helps)

You need to alter the page orientations independent of the duplexing/tumble commands. you may be able to do this in setpage or setpagedevice, if not then reorient the specific pages using "moveto" and "rotate" PostScript commands within your pages.

What kind of file are you printing? from what program? Does this happen with plain text files from TextEdit? Have you asked HP support for their help?

How do I print one page at a time for a photobook .pse project?

I am trying to print a photobook project one page at a time as I am using double sided paper that I need to turn over. One other project I did asked me if I wanted both sides and would I do the turning myself, but this one doesn't. I also wanted no border on the prints and it came out with a border. It is also frustrating to have to wait for it to load 75 pages and then it prints them back to front. Is this PSE or the printer software?

Yes, you can print one page one at time as you want .
In print dialog, select other pages and click on remove button.(refer to screenshot).
For border click on more options and ensure check box is not selected ( refer to screenshot)

Can't print off my statements like before...have to print one page at a time instead of whole statement...what gives? did up dates ...updates no good?

Can't print off my statements like I did before...have to print one page at a time now...what happened? never had proble before....I did an update that they said was available...did that cause the problem...Apple???

Hi Charlott...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab.
Click: Open Print Queue...
Delete all documents in the queue
Restart your Mac, turn off the printer then turn it back on then try printing.
Not sure which update you are referring to. If you have Lion installed and updated to v10.7.3, I doubt that had any effect on printing.
BTW... when you post, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

When I open the print command page it's blank

When I try to print an online pdf document that I see on my screen and press the appropriate button to send the command to my printer (or use CTRL +P), I get the Adobe printer command page totaly devoid of words. Just buttons with no labels. The boxes for showing which pages are to be printed show but no words. Pressing the button I figure must be the print command allows me to print the entire document, even if I only want one page. I have deleted Reader entirely and reloaded it. Same problem.

I am using Adobe Reader X, version10.1.2
This is one of the two versions of the print command page I get. I got this by using CTRL+P. The fade in commands on hover commands at the bottom of the page of the pdf document would not work - no response at all. I will see if I can create the other empty printer command page after I send this one.
Thank you for responding
