Print Jobs send with no error

I have an HP 3600n Laser Jet Color printer hooked up to our network. All of the PCs that use the printer are Windows 7. I've seen other posts reporting tons of issues with said printer on Windows 7. However, we've been able to use it previously so I know it's possible to print from a Windows 7 PC to this printer. Unfortunately, the person who orriginaly set it up has since left the company and we have no way to contact him. Additionally we're using the Vista driver because there is no 7 driver.
When I try to print the documents never make it to the print que. We've tried the simple resets of the printer and print server hosting the driver. I can ping the printer. 
it used to spit this error out when you would try to print to it before the print server reboot: 
PCL XL error
Subsystem: Kernel
Error: Illegal Tag
Operator: OpenDataSource
Position: 2
Any trouble shooting tips and or possible fixes are greatly appreciated
Thanks,
-Billy

Another new symptom: Rebooted computer for a non related cause, and loaded FF (using Session Manager like always) and tried to print something and got the dreaded "ding". Restarted FF with the restart button, and print now works again. Too bad the event viewer doesn't show anything.
Oh, I have disabled the other two addons you suggested.
I could just use the restart button as a temp fix, but one of the PayPal shipping labels is where I first ran on to this problem, and I don't know if restarting FF would kick me out of the label print page. I guess I'll find out if it happens that way again.
I just love erratic problems. Kind of like troubleshooting an engine problem that won't happen everytime.

  • KDE Printer Manager fails with "client-error-bad-request"

    I'm having some trouble with printing on my system. The KDE printer manager shows "client-error-bad-request" and no other information. When I run the KCM from the command line, I also get "kcmshell(17286) KCupsRequest::serverError: status unrecognised:  1024" on the console. I wasn't able to find any useful information on this issue on google or these forums; not even what the 1024 status code means. It seems to me that this may be a bug in the kcm_printer_manager module, but I'd like to rule out other possibilities first. Unfortunately, I don't know what to try from here. I'll provide as much potentially relevant information as I can think of below.
    Changes since last successful print job:
    Multiple updates to KDE packages
    Update to cups that changed systemd unit file names.
    Stopped and disbled old units
    daemon-reload
    Enable and start new units
    Other updates to cups since then, if I recall correctly.
    Packages and versions:
    kdeutils-print-manager 4.14.3-1 (owns kcm_printer_manager module for kcmshell4)
    kdebase-runtime 4.14.3-1 (owns kcmshell4 binary)
    cups 2.0.1-1
    libcups 2.0.1-1
    systemd 218-1

    Let me know if any other information might be helpful.

    Anyone please help.

  • PSC 1350 all-in-one not completing print jobs wirelessly with windows 7 64 bit

    I have a acer 5542 running windows 7 (64bit), connected wirelessly to an Orange Livebox hub, to which my HP PSC 1350 printer is connected (via USB cable) therefore using the Livebox as a USB printer server. This configuration has worked very well for my 2 XP laptops for the past year or two. I set up the printer on the windows 7 laptop by connecting it directly, via the USB cable, letting windows install it, and download the latest drivers, (although HP say they have no specific 64bit drivers for this printer, but the drivers they have, and that windows downloaded, work fine!) then i changed the port to the livebox ip address.
    All this worked fine (as on the xp machines), I printed out a spreadsheet, which worked fine untill it approached the end of the page, then just stopped. I troubleshot the printer which didnt return any sprcifics, Just that the print job had failed, and that it had rectified the problem, then the printer starts reprinting the same document, to the same point, (about 95% complete) and again stalls, and so the cycle continues. I have tried it with various different documents and photos, to the same ends. But if i connect the laptop directly to the printer, via USB, it completes the jobs fine
    I have posted on microsoft answers forums, but the one answer i have recieved (re installing everything) did not solve the problem. Although i am not too savvy on computers, i kind of get the feeling it is a spooling issue. (not processing or holding onto the last part of a print file! But its only a feeling!)
    any help would be very much appreciated

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Large Print Job Size with Alpha Blending

    A while ago, I wrote some java code to print portions of a graph (from JGraph). In the original design, I painted directly to the Graphics object in the Printable.print method. However, the resulting print job size was around 50MBs per page (which is unacceptable when tens of pages are spooled). Nevertheless, the results were perfect. A second attempt to reduce the print size rendered the output to a BufferedImage before drawing to the Graphics object. The print jobs were now ~500KBs per page, but were pixelated. Because of time constraints we used the latter method.
    Recently, I revisited this problem and discovered the large print size is due to a color using alpha blending. Having transparent pieces is important, but I'd like to improve the print quality. Does anyone know how to "flatten" or otherwise reduce the print size?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've run into this same problem and I can't figure a way around it. I mocked up a simple class to test the difference in sizes of print jobs that are printing a display with translucent colors and those that don't and the difference seems a little extreme. Here's my code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.print.*;
    public class SimpleTest implements Printable {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        job.setPrintable(new SimpleTest());
        if(job.printDialog()) {
          try {
            job.print();
          catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
      public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex)
          throws PrinterException {
        if(pageIndex >= 10) {
          return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        g.setColor(new Color(0f, 1f, 0f, 0.5f));
        g.drawRect(25, 25, 300, 300);
        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
    }On the call to g.setColor, if I set the alpha argument to 1f, the print job size is 64 KB. However, if I set the alpha argument to 0.5f, the print job size bumps up to 239 MB. That's close to 3000x larger!
    So, is there a way around this? I tried changing the PrintQuality and PrinterResolution attributes but neither seemed to have any effect. Maybe I did something wrong? I used the following to change the PrintQuality:
    PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    aset.add(PrintQuality.DRAFT);
    if(job.printDialog(aset)) {Is that the right way to do it? If so, what other options do I have?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Print jobs disappearing with APEBS

    I have a Windows Vista 64 bit machine with a AEBS gigabit running 7.2.1 firmware. Connected to the USB port on the AEBS is a Konica Minolta magicolor 2500w. This printer works fine connected directly to the computer but when connected to the AEBS the print jobs go into the spool and then disappear. BonJour (1.04 for 64 bit Vista) finds the printer fine and I am using the 64 bit Vista drivers from Konica but cannot get this to work.
    Also I have a dell 924 that exhibits the same problem. I have tried manually adding the port with the same results. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I can find no reference that the HP P1006 uses PCL5e. Do you have a citation you can share that indicates this? I believe that you will find that this printer only uses the XQX stream protocol. For network printing you will need a driver such as the open source driver found at http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/

  • Print job problems with AEBS - jobs don't print until another job is sent

    I have been experiencing an anomaly with my printer not printing the last page of multipage documents since getting our AEBS with Gigabit Ethernet. Before getting the AEBSs, I had two Linksys routers that were performing well, but would crash regularly. I recently purchased two AEBS router to replace my two Linksys routers. I have the latest AEBS, and an older AEBS M8799LL/A sometimes referred to as the UFO or Crow’s Nest. My printer is a networkable HP Color LaserJet 2550n.
    When the Apple Tech Support person could not get this printer to work when attached to an Ethernet port, they suggested that I attach it to the USB port. I finally got it to work with our Macs, and Windows XP running in Parallels using Bonjour. What we noticed right away was that the printer was taking longer to respond than when we were using it as a network printer under our previous Linksys network. Another thing that happened was that frequently a print job would not appear to have been sent (spooled?) to the printer so we would issue the print command after waiting a couple of minutes and end up with two copies of what we were printing. Yesterday I was printing a basic 5 page text document from Pages and the last page did not print. So I created a document with just a ‘.’ and sent it to the printer. Out came the last page of my five page Pages document and the document with just a ‘.’. The AEBS does appear to be somewhat more stable than our Linksys equipment, but getting printer to work properly has been very frustrating.
    Is anyone aware of what might be causing this problem. At first I was blaming Windows, but it is happening very frequently when printing basic documents in Mac OS X 10.4-Tiger. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Ah the self healing properties of OSX. This problem appears to have fixed itself.

It doesn't has any problems under Windows OS.
    I have reinstalled the driver and application for Mac already.
    Do you know how can I solve this problem?

    Does the printer work properly when hooked up directly to the computer. If so, then I strongly suspect some incompatibility with your wireless network.

  • How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

    Greetings,
    I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer.  The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc.   The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
    With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
    OpenPrinter(printername)
    StartDocPrinter(...)
    -----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
    EndDocPrinter(...)
    ClosePrinter()
    I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
    Is this possible with the Adobe SDK? 
    I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline.  This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
    Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.  
    Thanks a lot,
    Wayne
