Print job that will not die

I have never seen this one before - a print job that magically reappears over and over after being deleted. Does anyone know what this is? Has anyone seen this before? Here are the specifics:
Printer is and HP laserjet connected via USB to computer A which is a G5 iMac running OSX, current update as of today minus one. Computer A has Appletalk enabled over the ethernet, and printer sharing turned on for this printer. The logged in user is not the system administrator, it is a non-administrator user.
Computer B is a G4 iMac, running OSX 10.3, Appletalk enabled via ethernet. The two computers are connected to an ethernet router. The printer for Computer B is set to the remote printer from Computer A.
Computer B sends a print job from Microsoft Word, which get sent to Computer A. It disappears from the print queue on Computer B. It appears on the print queue for Computer A, and starts printing - 100 copies!
The print queue on Computer A is stopped, the job is deleted. The print queue is turned back on.
The job REAPPEARS and starts printing again.
The queue is stopped and the job deleted - same result! The job reappears. So the queue is stopped, the job is deleted, the printer shut off and restarted, and the computer restarted. The print queue is turned back on.
The job REAPPEARS and starts printing again!
Eventually, the only way to kill this job was to DELETE the printer and recreate it!
What on earth was this problem? Has anyone ever see a print job that would NOT go away???

Hi ....
I understand the issue with ur printer. and with the present set of OS this issue can be resolved.
!! Prior to this u need to reset the printing services and then have a download of the recent set of drivers from the Vendor website.
IF not then u need to delete the HP Printer folder and the HP Preferences from the Libraby folder....
How to get there ::
Double Click : MAC HDD icon
select Library : and select Preferences.
Do re-install the drivers for the Printer.
Hope this may resolve ur issue.

The Mail Rule That Will Not Die

Hi all--
I am using Mail v6.3 for Mountain Lion (v.10.8.3) for my @roadrunner.com account. A couple of years back my iPad 1 did not play well with my roadrunner account so I set up a gmail account and set up a rule in Mail to forward all of my roadrunner email to the gmail account on my iPad. fFash forward a few years and now I can set up my roadrunner account on my iPad 2 with no problem.
I deleted the forwarding rule yet my roadrunner email continues to be forwarded to the gmail account. I have trashed (I think) my Mail preferences, rebuilt the mailbox, and even deleted and re-created the roadrunner account in Mail, but still when I receive an email to the roadrunner account a copy is forwarded to the gmail account (yes, I checked to make sure that there are no forwarding rules on the gmail account).
How do I get Mail to stop forwarding my roadrunner email to the gmail account?
Thanks!

Check that you didn't set the forward up on the RoadRunner website.

I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 that will not activate the scanner option on a C7280 HP All in One Printer, Fax, Scanner - the Printer works fine but the scanner does not - any suggestions?

I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 that will not activate the scanner portion of an HP C7280 All in One - prints fine - but won't activate scanner.

I have the same problem with an HP Scanjet 8250 and my Epson Stylus NX400. I have reloaded allegedly updated drivers. I have researched using SANE. Neither scanner wants to work since the OS X10.6 update. I have found very little out there about this problem.
Can anyone help me make these bricks work? Really would like a solution that won't cost me hundreds to replace the equipment. Thanks so much.

We just bought an iMac. We have a new HP printer that we've been using wirelessly with our windows based computers with no problem. the iMac can find the printer, but it will not set up. Any ideas?

Our iMac can find the wireless printer, but it will not set it up. Any ideas?

I have to disagree with BGreg about downloading the driver from HP.com. I would recommend using Apple's instructions in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
specifically the section on How to Add a Printer then check for the section on Wi-Fi printers.

OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2. need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

HP Printer Software Installation will not complete

I have an HP Officejet 8500 wireless bought in late 2011. Never an issue until a recent new printer added to the computer seems to have changed an unknown setting and now printer or computer will not recognize or initiate a wireless print request. Have tried all firmware updates, software updates, etc. Printer is perfectly connected to wireless network established by router. Any wireless print request from my MacBook is met with a "printer offline" description and sits in printer que. Printer works(ed) fine when connected via USB to MacBook.
Thought to uninstall/reinstall printer software hoping to reachieve initial set up defaults which have been working well prior to addition of new printer to computer.
Uninstalled HP software; result was normal. Inserted original software CD and tried to re-install software; result was as expected until step 5. Comments now read Installing HP Scan, Install was successful. Software has stalled on "5 items remaining" and will not move on to "4 items remaining" as next step.
HP Uninstaller is not yet in HP application file, Attempting to "quit" HP Installer generates a warning window indicating "files could be damaged" which is same window generated when trying to shut down computer using Apple shutdown command. Shutdown ends up being cancelled by HP Installer.
Computer is stuck and I'm stuck and I still don't know if reinstall would have solved original problem. Hours into troubleshooting... any help available would be appreciated. MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 all updates complete. Thanks

Thanks Bob - yes - setup from printer display to wireless network was done originally when printer was new and again today in attempt to reestablish whatever setting might have been accidentally changed. Printer is "perfectly" connected to wireless network with Excellent signal quality, etc... As is Macbook perfectly connected to wireless network.
Problem now is that when trying to reinstall original HP printer software to computer the installation process has frozen. I now cannot end the installation process or shut down the computer without potential fear of "damaging files". I also am concerned that if I power off manually (hard shutdown) that I will not be able to uninstall those HP files that have been installed thus far before the process stalled.

How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..

After automatically updating to 32.0.3 last Thursday and this Monday on all our Staff and Patron computers both Win7 pro and XP pro we have seen Firefox sessions that will not bring up the Print Dialog. The Print Preview dialog will come up but no print button or print menu item will bring up the Print Dialog. After you close Firefox and reopen it the Print Dialog box will work again for some time. The websites that Patron and Staff use during a session are different and done seem to be the cause. The Firefox settings are at fault because a simply restart of just Firefox fixes the issue and no other web browsers or application has any problem with displaying the Print Dialog at any time. Again this began on all the computers as soon as 32.0.3 was installed automatically over night.

Hi NPLD,
Thank you for your question, I understand that there are multiple computers that no longer have a working print dialogue after a while of using Firefox. However after a restart, the print dialogue continues to act normally.
Does resetting the printing settings on the affected computers only temporarily change this as well?[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
I noticed it when I tested this page: [http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/1920s-home-before-after?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1451_94608649#slide-2] However I cannont reproduce it all the time. The print icon in the page has a opened a printable view and then the print dialoge comes up. When I switched to another program, that icon did not open the preview.
Do you notice any about:config entries that change when you see this start to happen?

I have a box that will not go away, it says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? If i push not now, it keeps popping up, if I push install, it says it's not available, help.

I have a dialogue box that will not go away and it seems to have started when I upgraded to Mt. Lion. the box says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java 6 SE runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? (smaller print) Note: Usw of this software is subject to the Software License Agreement applicable to the software you are downloading. A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: htp://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Finally there are two boxes to click. One says not now. If I click on that the box goes away for 2 to 3 seconds and then pops back up and WILL NOT go away. If I click on the second box, Install, it says The software is currently unavailable. To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open Java Application again.
My confusion here is that I have no idea what the java application is, When I click "okay" on that box, the original box pops us again and WILL NOT go away. CGoing to the apple lega web site was no help. My solution so far has been to drag the dialogue box as far to the lower right and out of the way as far as I can. Help.

Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.

How can I copy a webpage that will not let me highlight it, i.e. use the control c key strokes?

How can I take a picture of a webpage that will not let me use the control C copy command? In other words, on this particular website, I try to highlight a passage that I want to save and put in a document, but the highlighting will not work. I asked them about that, and they simply said they did not have that facility, but I think the issue is protecting their copyrighted material. I know there is some way to take a picture of the page, and then I can use my picture editing software to crop it and enlarge it.

Are you trying to take a "snapshot" in a PDF?
If the part of the page or PDF you want to capture is fully visible, you can use the Windows print screen function to capture it. Either use the Print Screen key to capture the entire monitor display, or Alt+Print Screen to capture the active window.
If you need to do this often, or if you want to save the snapshot straight to disk, or if you need more than fits in a single Windows screen shot, an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/fireshot/ Fireshot] can be handy.

When you initiate printing with {Ctrl + P}, are you able to select that printer in the Printer - Name box?

Samba cups and windows 8: printer spools but will not print.

Hello,
I have samba and cups setup. I have been trying to connect to my windows printer. Here is my setup
Arch linux linux-3.12.1-3
samba-4.1.2-1
cups-1.7.0-2
Windows 8.1
no firewalls
Samba config
[global]
security = user
#passdb backend = tdbsam
#username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
workgroup = Bobshouse
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
log level = 1
max log size = 1000
read only = no
#disable netbios = yes
printing = cups
printcap = cups
[homes]
browsable = no
map archive = yes
[Shared]
browsable = yes
read only = yes
path = /home/bob/Share
for cups some things I have tried are
lpd://hostname/printer
smb://username:password@hostname/printer_name
I can see the printer with smbclient
So the printer spools, but will not print. the paper does not move I just hear the printer. Also when I watch the print queues in windows and linux. Cups shows that it sent the document, but when I watch the windows queue it shows the document, but the size of the document stays at 32 kb out of 1.8 mb and says printing. I hope this makes sense. I am just trying to keep things very simple at this point. I just want to understand what the problem is and build on it.

Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:
Printer Model - done
Complete and Detailed Problem Description -
Operating System of computer (including service pack revision) - done
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless? -
Make and model of router and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns?
If wireless, when the problem occurs, what is status of Blue Wireless light on printer, on, off or blinking? –
Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 3 mins, power on printer. Does it connect to the router now? Do you have a valid IP address?
