Print Jobs Stop on HP Laserjet 3500 after installing Tiger 10.4

The printer worked great before installing Tiger 10.4...I even upgraded to 10.4.7, but it still won't print.
I have CHANGED USB...RESET PRINTER...deleted/added about 12x...REPAIRED DISK...done everything stated in troubleshooting, but still, my printer jobs STOP and won't print in ANY APPLICATION.
HELP!

Print job stops

I can print on my Epson R2400 from Photoshop when I go to External Editor, but whenever I try to print via Aperture, the print job stops.
I've been printing successfully with earlier versions of Aperture. I've reinstalled Aperture 1.1.2 and I've deleted and added the R2400.
Thanks

Airport Express HP6500, print job stopped errors

Looks like this is a re-occuring theme and many posts here indicate it's a common problem with Cannon Printers, but I'm using an HP 6500, and have been for over a year with no probelm. Now I get a print job stopped message, and when I try to restart the job, I am told a connection could not be made.
I have tried deleting and re-adding the HP - no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

OK - so the printer is a 6540, but in the print area under preferences, it calls it a 6500 - what gives?

Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

Have you checked the mute switch on the right side, above the volume button?

For the fan issue, see if you can reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
That may help the restarts as well.

HP LaserJet 5si won't print -- jobs stopped

Mac G5 OSX 10.4.x
LaserJet 5si with 2552 Jet direct card
Networked via Linksys switch
I lost my internet connection to all computers yesterday and ended up having to reset my Linksys Router. Now everything works except this printer which is connected to the router through a workgroup switch. Printer shows up in Printer list. Jobs get spooled to printer. I get a message that jobs for this printer are stopped. When I click "start" it looks like it is printing, but then shows up as "jobs stopped".
Apple Talk is active. Disk Utility did a repair disk permissions. I have taken the Jet Direct card out and reinstalled it. I have reinstalled the LaserJet drive software.
Can anyone help me???
Marjorie

I am having the same problem with my Espon Stylus CX6600, but only with certain programs. Dialatech told me to go into Page Setup and make sure where my printer was selected under "Format for." Don't know why it wouldn't work when "Any printer" was selected, but it worked great for a couple months. The problem's back now, even though my printer is selected in the "Format for" thing, but maybe this will help for you. Please post if you come up with any other solution!

Cannot print to HP LaserJet 1020 after installing Reader XI 11.0.03

After installing the Acrobat Reader 11.0.3 update, I cannot print to my old, reliable HP LaserJet 1020 from Acrobat Reader and many other applications at all. Am using Win 7 64-bit. Also have Acrobat 7 Standard and PDF-Xchange 4.0, both of which have become semi-broken after installing the Acrobat Reader 11.0.3 update as well.

One of the things I have experienced in the past with printing PDFs is that it would hang in the print queue. There is a manual method of deleting the print documents in the print queue. But the issue is printing PDF documents that are scanned in and has maybe highlighted text or handwritten notes on the PDF. The printer driver can render it correctly if printing the PDF as a text document. What you have to do is change it so that it prints as a PDF image instead.
To print as an image, open the PDF then click File then click Print. Click the Advanced button on the following window that pops up and select the check box "Print as image".
Now to clear your print queue will be key prior to doing this if the print job is hung in the print queue.
Here is a Microsoft KB Article that explains how to do this. I think it has an available Microsoft Fixit tool you can use as well.

HP 1505n - Print Jobs stop when sent to queue

I recently purchased an HP LaserJet 1505n for my home office. I have several Mac's all running 10.5.1 all connecting to it. Most print to it via the network (Bonjour) but I do have 1 Mac hooked up directly via USB to the printer. So, both the USB And Network Interfaces are being used on the printer (which is why I bought it).
Every now and then when I try to print, the print job just stops immediately in the queue. When I try to restart it, it stops again. Sometimes physically resetting the printer works, but rarely. I have also deleted the queues and re-added them. Nothing seems to work. It seem that Adobe Acrobat files never print, but Firefox will always. (Strange...)
I have read a few other threads on this issue and they all mention that it is a driver issue from HP. I have try to get the OpenSource drivers, but I have not found any for the HP 1505n.
Below is the /var/log/cups/error_log. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Do I just wait for an OpenSource driver or HP to update their drivers?
Thanks!

This is what I got from HP...need to grab CVs and Libraries Folder from a PowerPC mac.
and...it works!
Intel Mac fix for Office 2004
1. On a computer that can still print using Office 2004, go to HD>System>Library>Printers and control+click on Libraries and Create Archive. In the same location, control+click on the CVs folder and Create Archive. Save these Archived (zip) folders to the Desktop.
2. Copy these two Archived (zip) folders to the Intel Mac that cannot print. *note – you will need a network connection to the computer or a flash drive.
3. Make sure you quit all applications including Safari, Entourage etc.
4. Create a New Folder on the Desktop of the Intel Mac (Name this folder “Backup of Libraries and CVs”)
5. Open the Macintosh HD>System>Library folder and control+click on the Printers folder and select Get Info. Click on Name & Location and set the permissions for Everyone to Read & Write.
6. Open the Printers folder and drag the Libraries and CVs folder to the new folder you had just created to backup the old files.
7. Extract the Archived Libraries and CVs folder you have copied to the Intel Mac by double clicking on the folders.
8. Copy the extracted Libraries and CVs folders to the Printers folder (You will be asked to authenticate the copy)
9. Restart the Computer.
10. Open Disk Utility and select your Macintosh HD Volume. Select Repair Permissions.
11. Open a MS Office document and print to verify the issue is resolved.

Can't print on hp colour laserjet 2500l after installing latest OSX 10.6.5

I installed the latest OSX update 10.6.5on Nov 11th and then the update combined on Nov 12th - after both these were installed I am still getting the message "waiting for printer to become available" when trying to print. I can print using and older macbook which doesn't have these updates!
Help!

Having a similar problem with my HP LaserJet 3030. Installed 10.6.5 on Nov 13th and printing stopped working. I've tried: 1) Reverting to 10.6.4 from timemachine backup.; Used Onxy to fix permissions; Reinstalling SL Printer Drivers; Installing HPPrinterDrivers2.5.2; and, bypassing my timecapsule for a direct USB connection.
Nothing has worked. At first the printer was listed as 'offline', now the computer simply is 'Looking for printer...'
I'm at a loss. 10.6.5 was supposed to improve printer reliability and instead I've spent 24 hours trying to undo this 'fix'.
Any new suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Print Jobs Stop -- First w Panther, Now w Tiger and New Printer!

I was dealing with multiple problems, so I'm not sure where to start. I was using a G4 with Panther when, among other things, I could no longer print because anytime I sent something to the printer the job would stop. Trying to start it again didn't work. My hard drive crapped out (separate issue I now realize) and I had it replaced w/ a new hard drive installed with Tiger & also purchased a new printer. I installed the new printer (for now I have it connected directly via USB) and to my surprise and chagrin I still can't print for the same reason! The job stops immediately after I send the document to print. Trying to re-start, or deleting and printing again, etc. does nothing. I've been through all the troubleshooting tips on the support page and am at wit's end. The problem doesn't seem to be specific to an application, an OS, or the printer. The Mac guy who set up my new hard drive did save as much as possible from the old one & migrated it to the new. He must have transferred the glitch, but what could it be? Please help.

Thanks a lot Greg.
I had problems printing to shared printer which was connected to my mac downstairs from my powerbook over airport. Kept on coming up as printer stopped. I turned all off and on, reinstalled drivers, deleted printers, and nothing worked 'till I found your tip.
I love the mac community, keep up the good work.

Print jobs stopping for no reason

Hi,
For some reason print jobs simply stop when sent to server print queues. The client queue shows "Connecting to 192.168.1.201 at port 631..." when the job is sent, then it halts & the job sits in the queue.
I've tried recreating the queues by deleting the printers from the server system prefs, adding them in again (as both LPD and IPP) by specifying their IP addresses. Does it matter what I spec for the queue name? Is it better to use the default or something that matches
There's some suspicious stuff in the print service log (see below), such as "shared == 0" for each of the queues & the final "master LPR sharing state = 0" after rebooting the server. If these are the culprits, how do I change the sharing state?

Print Jobs Stopped & Cannot Start

Canon BJC-8200 USB Printer
From within any application, after completing the Page Setup, and choosing Print, completed choices... then click on Print.
Going to Printer Setup Utility, my printer shows, Jobs Stopped. I click on Start Jobs. For just a moment, it appears the job is starting, then suddenly it shows Jobs Stopped.
Using the installed Canon driver software (up to date), and in BJC-8200 utility, it shows Jobs Stopped. I repeat the steps as with Printer Setup Utility, and get the same results...
Both utilities show my printer and show Jobs Stopped.
PBti 660 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Canon Driver v1.4.3 for Mac OS X

Try these generic steps one at a time:
Delete and re-ADD the printer(s) in Printer Setup.
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

Print Job Stopped on HP1300 using APEX

Hello,
I noticed several user have problems with their printer connected via Airport. Mine used to work fine, until I changed my internet provider two weeks ago and had to input the new details, and re started the APEX. Internet is working very well, so does ITunes wireless, just when I send a print job, it just stops. It is recognised via Bonjour, but does not responds. Printing works fine via USB. Are there any settings I overlooked?
I have an IBook bought May 2005 with Tiger from Apple Store Germany together with printer HP1300 and several Airport Express Stations.
I appreciate any help!

Hello Henry,
all Airport Stations are recognised. I just connected the printer to the station in the living room, listen to music from ITunes right now, printer is recognised connected to this Airport Station, but the print job still stops.
It is frustrating, and a hassle to connect the printer via USB each time you need to print......BUT....nothing compared to the hassle I had with "other" operation system LOL!
Thank you for your reply

Print job stopped without reason

hi, i am connected to a network printer. whenever i try to print the job is stopped unexpectedly and no error message is given. It just says: "Job stopped" in the printer window and stays in the active queue. if i click "start jobs" at the top it starts again and stops again. With out reason. The printer driver are installed. The kind is NRG DSc38u PS
Hope somebody can help.
thanks

When ever I have this problem I restart the printer by unpluging it and waiting for about 30 seconds. Then if that doesnt work, go hook the printer directly up to the computer and make sure that someting is not stoped in the printer que.
I hope that that helps you.
