Print jobs keep starting and then error in print que

I have a HP Photosmart 100D series printer. The print jobs keep freezing up in the que. The jobs start and then after a page or two the error message appears when checking the status.
I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled
I have download new drivers
I have run the "HP Print Doctor" it gives a message to save work, close and programs and restart the PC and then restart the ulitity. I have done this and still get the message that it cannot fix the que error.
What do you suggest as a solution to this frustrating problem?
I have Windows 7 Professional OS

Hmm. I have an HP printer that's behaved fine, but I've moved it to my iBook (running Tiger) so I can print wirelessly.
It may be an issue with the driver or the software. I'm guessing the software was written for the PPC machines, and that might be causing the problem.
The way I've checked this is to open up "Activity Monitor" (Applications>Utilities) and find the processes related to your HP printer (usually begin with "hp") under kind what's shown?
You might want to look into the CUPS idea presented earlier as it may give you better results.

Jobs stay in queue and keep printing until you cancel them--then stops the print spooler...why?

My Printer: HP Photosmart C309a
My Laptop: HP G71 series
Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit) but runs a lot of stuff on 32 bit
Problem: I print ONE copy of a multiple page document in Adobe Reader 9. I select even pages only (after which I would reinsert the pages and tell it to print odd pages only, to get the other side). The printer makes a sound indicating the job is finished, I remove my pages to collate them, and then the printer continues to print the job again without so much as a keystroke.
Naturally, you find the printer in the devices on the control panel, click "see what's printing" and highlight the job and cancel it.
Then somehow it turns off my print spooler.
I have tried everything suggested on other forums, like
restart the laptop/restart the printer
going to c\windows\system32\spool\printers and deleting whatever is hung up in there (usually a shockwave file).
Going to Services\print spooler \properties and making sure the settings are set to automatic
Uninstall\reinstall latest driver and software
Switching from Adobe Reader 10 to Adobe Reader 9
Use System Restore to try to reset the system to a previous state.
Run Trend Micro to check for viruses and spyware--nothing shows up.
I am positive the pdf doc is NOT the problem, because I can print it on my husband's laptop multiple times over with no problems.
Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a genuine solution other than manually canceling print jobs in queue and constantly restarting the print spooler?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I believe your printer is wirelessly connected to your computer, right?!
What's the current printer software version installed in your laptop computer?!
to see: click start>control panel>uninstall a program under Programs then it will tell you the software version like HP Photosmart c309a v13 or v14.
If the software version is v13, click here to download and install the current software.
IF all things still fail, try to use the workaround provided by HP in this link. It says:
Workaround
Your HP printing product can operate sufficiently using an alternate print driver, although there might be some limitations. For instance, some buttons on the product control panel might not function, but the product prints normally from the computer. If the solutions in this document do not solve the issue, download and install an alternate print driver.
Follow these steps to install the HP Deskjet 990C print driver.
NOTE: These steps install the new print driver using the same port that the product already uses. The product functions normally with multiple drivers on the same port.
Find the port that the product already uses.
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel . The Control Panel opens in a new window.
Click Hardware and Sounds .
Click Printers . The Printers folder opens.
Right-click the product icon ( ), and then click Properties . The Propertieswindow opens.
Click the Ports tab. A window opens with a list of ports. The port for the product has a checkmark or a highlight.
Note the name of the port indicated for the product.
Close the Properties window, and then continue with the next steps.
Click Add a Printer in the menu bar at the top of the Printers window. The Windows Add Printer Wizard opens.
Click Add a local printer .
Select Use an existing Port .
Click the drop-down menu next to Use an existing Port , and then select the port that you noted earlier in these steps.
Click Next .
In the Manufacturer pane, click HP .
In the Printers pane, click HP Deskjet 990c , and then click Next . (IF YOU CANT FIND DESKJET 990C, JUST CLICK WINDOWS UPDATE WITHIN THIS WINDOW. THEN FIND DESKJET 990C and then click next)
Type a name for the new printer in the Printer name box, or keep the default name.
Select Set as the default printer , and then click Next . A window opens with a progress bar as the printer installs. Then a new window opens.
Click Do not share this printer , and then click Next .
If you want to print a test page, click the Print test page button.
Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Try printing again, but select HP Deskjet 990c from the Print dialog box.
If this solves the issue, follow these steps to use the HP Deskjet 990c print driver whenever you send print jobs to the product.
In the program you are using, select the option to print. The Print dialog box opens.
Click the Name drop-down menu, and then select HP Deskjet 990c .
Change print settings as desired in the Paper size , Quality , and Paper type drop-down menus.

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple.

When i am suppose to upgrade my apps it starts and then halfway though it stops and tells me to keep retrying all the time never finishes the upgrade

when i am suppose to upgrade my apps it starts and then halfway though it stops and tells me to keep retrying but it never finished the upgrade

reboot your phone then restart the app updates again. This usually fixes the problem. Also if you have a lot of updates it will try to do too many at once. tap the ones that are downloading and pause all but two at a time. As soon as thoughs go into the installing unpause the next two. If you have too many going at once then during the install it takes too long before it starts the next download on itunes will require a password again so it stops all the update in the middle. The other work around is to update one at a time in the app store instead of hitting the update all button.

Hello Kevin,
To determine why the spooler is stopping we need to look at the cups error log. This is located in the Console application. With it open, click on the Logs icon and then expand the /var/log entry. Then expand the cups entry. Under here you will see the error_log. The error will be shown with an E to the left and show what process failed. To determine what that process was look back up the log for the process ID (PID) for that print job. It will probably show a filter or plugin that is stopping the print.
Now the repair permissions is usually enough to fix this. But sometimes you need to do this after booting from the OS X disc and running the Disk Utility from here so that the cups daemon hasn't started.
If that doesn't help then look at trying Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility and/or running the Intel Combo updater.

Print jobs keep holding in print queue

Just installed a new HP6600 enabled with wi-fi. First print test was perfect. Subsequent print jobs keep going to "Hold" in queue. How do I prevent print jobs going to "HOLD".
It prevents another print job from starting unless I manually deleted the job from the queue.

Thanks Jamieson. I really appreciate your assistance. I uninstalled the printer software per suggestion #1 and then re-entered my printer and all seems to be working fine now.

Why do my print jobs keep cancelling? Internet is connected. On ePrint centre printer shows ready

Why do my print jobs keep cancelling? Photosmart D110. Internet connected. Shows connected and ready. Get email saying received. It cancels immediately. This is something new. It was printing fine.

Hi, there sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
Let me start by saying this is what I heard from other members of the forum.
I heard here (other members of the community) that there is an issue that engineer are working on diligently that may be affecting this particular process. All of the suggestions in this page have help members of this forum with this situation hope that one of them helps you.
- Reboot the computer.
- Open the browser (Internet Explorer, chrome, FireFox, Safari,Opera ) of your preference and clear cookies and internet (Browsing) history.
-In the browser of your preference try singing-in or registering to e-print.
If the above did not solved your issue, Please try this;
- Use another browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, firefox, safari, Opera) and try again.
If you are willing to try a test,
-Disable all Security Applications on your computer including Windows Firewall and try to see if there a process getting block while the printing process is going on.
other quick suggestions unlikely to be related in your particular case;
-Set an static IP Address for your printer,
This should be done outside the DHCP range (the range that your router uses to automaticly assing leasses to the clients or devices connecting to the network).
- Use Google public DNS Servers;
8.8.8.8 and alternate 8.8.4.4 (the reason that I recommend this is because I have use them all the time and have not seem conflict of any kind)
- Make sure that your printer have the most current firmware and software available for them
(remember most of the updates in firmware and software are to FIX ISSUES and in a lesser degree done are to add functionality). The issue that you having may have been fix in a firmware update.
- Make sure that your Operating system is updated.
(To a lesser extend this are also updated to FIX ISSUES although some times can create them as well, mostly they are updated to patch security issues) it may be important.
Hope this helps;

My imac 2007 keeps crashing and then it beeps continuously

My imac 2007 keeps crashing and then it beeps continuously when starting up and just has a black screen.

Don't know what caused it other than RAM does occasionally fail.
Don't suppose you bought it from either Crucial or Macsales, as they guarantee their chips for life and will swap them over for replacements.
Sometimes, pulling the RAM chips out and re-seating them will get things working again.
Did you replace the original sticks or add to empty slots? It's often a case of trial and error to see which one/ones have failed. If the original chips were taken out and you still have them try pulling the chips that are currently installed and replacing them with the originals. Or, if the originals are still installed, just pull the additional chips and test. As I say, trial and error. Good luck!

I have a LaserJet 5L printer and I can't get it running properly under 10.5.8 while it works fine under 10.4.11. It only prints the first document and then shows the queue and prints slow like ****, it says so, but nothing printed after30 minuts.

Hi Divakar,
What’s the version of your TFS?
How do you configure the test control?
Please make sure you are specify the team collection instead of team project.
On the other hand, you may enable test controller logs. (You could share the log file on the OneDrive)

Analysis Services started and then stopped, Event ID: 0xC1210000

I just installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and SP1 and SP2. I cannot start Analysis Services. The message box states: The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped.     I looked in the log files located at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Log and found these entries:
msmdsrv.log:

During installation I did get an unhandled exception (I don't know what component caused the exception). I have found this in the SQLDUMPER_ERRORLOG.log file:

Any ideas how to get this service started?

Does anyone have any idea on this problem? My installation of SQL Server Analysis Services worked fine. I now have the same error as Lucy. This happened after no upgrading of SQLSERVER. It must have issues with security patches on the OS, or maybe service packs for Visual Studio (2005). And no reinstallation of the patch is not the answer (or rebooting).
The service times out and tells me to check the logs. The msmdsrv.log file indicates any unhandled exception -
Message: The service cannot be started: Internal error: An unexpected exception occured. (Source: \\?\C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\OLAP\Log\msmdsrv.log, Type: 3, Category: 289, Event ID: 0xC1210000)

I have tried reinstalling, changed users for the service, changes instance names. The logging tells me nothing, except there is a big problem.
I even installed the SQL Server SP2 hoping to fix whatever the problem was. Now I also have SSIS throwing an exception and wanting to attach a debugger to it on top of my original problem. After reading about all of the problems with SQL Server SP2, I think I created a bigger monster. Uninstalling leaves around all kind of files, registry entries, and program numbers.
Thanks for ANY hints to proceed.

Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore

Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore - On my iPad the only thing I see is a connector cord to iTunes and nothing else.
What can I do ???

Same issue for me, recently I started having issues with apps no longer being able to access my Facebook account. But the iPad Facebook account settings will not accept my password, even though the Facebook app and Safari can access my account fine. The only significant events I recall that have occurred that may have triggered this have been that via my Facebook account I killed off a lot of so called authorised connections and I changed my user name, but still have the same email address and password.
I have tried just about every solution put forward on the net, short of a factory restore, back to new, on my iPad.
I have also; deleted my iCloud account, deleted the Facebook app and account, deleted Safari data.
One would think that after I have deleted my account from the iPad that it would ask for both username/email address and password, but it only asks for password, so the username is still stored somewhere that I am unable to delete.
I also see that no one seems to have been able to get an answer from Apple. So I'm guessing they have absolutely no idea themselves.
I am hesitant to put my username on Facebook back to what it was as Facebook only give you a few chances to change your username, then you are locked.
I have iOS 7.1.1 installed.
I did have a lot of respect for Apple and their devices as they just worked, but they are becoming tarnished by ignoring what seems to be a growing issue.
