Print jobs won't stop printing...ever.

Since upgrading to Leopard, I've got a problem with an old HP PSC 750 where the print queue seems to generate unlimited copies of one print job. I printed a three page document and went and made coffee and came back to what seemed to be +War and Peace+ in the output tray.
I'm not sure I want to download a driver that's not been updated in a couple years, but I don't want to abandon this printer, which, although problematic over the years, is a cheap workhorse. I've not seen a lot of discussion of this problem on the web, is anybody familiar with this? Thanks in advance...

I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

  • 'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

    Hello,
    a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
    I made several trials to solve this problem:
    - uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
    - update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
    When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
    I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
    I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows  7 PC (with the same windows update done)
    But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
    Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
    Thanks for answering

  • HP 6310 allinone won't stop printing deleted job

    Wireless network HP 6310 all in one printer,
    Our operating system is Windows 7.
    My husband sent a print job to the printer from the internet.  It printed multiple times and would not stop.  I tried the following to get it to stop printing:
    deleted the job from the queue
    cancelled the job at the printer
    turned the printer off and on
    unplugged the printer
    reinstalled a new version of the printer
    It still won't stop printing.
    Please help!

    Hi @dionysusthewino ,
    I see that the printer is printing out blank pages and won't stop. I would be happy to help you.
    Clear out the print queue on the computer.
    Then power cycle the printer.
    Restore the printer back to factory settings, if you are still having issues. If the printer is networked though, you will have to set it up again.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    If you need further assistance, please provide the results and the following information.

  • Test page won't stop printing

    I have a Hp psc 1315 all-in-one and it won't stop printing a test page everytime I turn it on.  I have had this printer for 5 years and it did this once before but I can't remember how I fixed it.  I followed the directions over and over and scanned the document after it printed and it still won't stop.  I'm getting sick of wasting ink and paper, any suggestions?? 

    It's the alignment page that keeps printing. Check the link below. You need to scan the alignment page successfully so that it won't keep on printing it everytime you restart printer.
    Cause
    The product aligns the print cartridges every time at cartridge installation or replacement to ensure the highest-quality prints. The alignment page continues to print when the product is turned on or off, or when a print job is started, for any of the reasons below.
    The alignment process is not complete.
    The ink cartridges are not properly installed.
    The ink cartridges need to be replaced.
    The product needs to be serviced

  • 1102W printer won't stop printing

    My 1102w wireless printer works fine from the host PC (HP Pavillion) using Win Vista64.
    I have an Acer notebook (Win7 Home Premuim with all updates) which has the latest HP software for the 1102w installed.  When I select a text file to print from the notebook, it prints just fine but will not stop.  For example, when
    printing a one-page document the one page will continuously print until I shut down the printer
    and cancel the print job.  With the Print Status display shown, the document queued for printing will
    never go away.  It's as if the software is never recognizing the End of File character.
    I did do a search on this forum for something similar to this problem but didn't see any posts that applied.  Thanks
    for any help.

    Disable the "Enable bidirectional support" in the P1102w Properties > Ports.

  • HP 7520 won't stop printing

    Hi,
    I have an HP 7520 with two issues occurring at once: it won't stop printing and it won't connect to web services. This is a recent problem. 
    I've read through the various self-help posts, but I can't get the printer to stop printing (or the message screen to stay in menu mode) long enough to select the tools menu.
    All the pages keep printing with only one line, which reads "CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0".
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    KMK

    Hello  @klauskokott ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that your printer can't connect to the Web Services.
    I would like to help.
    It sounds like the printer is making a partial contention to the servers.
    Just enough of a connection to cause it to try and print the web services information page, but not enough to actually print the page and confirm the connection. This would be why is keeps trying to print the web services page, but you instead get the weird 'CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0'.
    I would first try resetting the network.
    Simply turn your printer and other network devices off.
    Unplug the power to the router for at least one minute.
    Plug the power back into the router and turn on your network devices.
    If that does not resolve the issue, try setting a manual DNS.
    The following reply by happytohelp01 has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
    It is for a 7510, but the process will be very similar.
    Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
    Pleas let me know how things work out, or let me know if you need any further help.

  • Laserjet 6P won't stop printing - prints a line of junk on each page -not connected to network or PC

    My HP Laserjet 6P won't stop printing.  It prints a few lines of symbols and characters at the top of each page.  The printer is not connected to a network or computer.  I tried shutting the printer off for a long time.   This started when I tried printing from a MAC to the printer, but now there is nothing connected to the printer.
    Any suggestions for resetting, etc.?   I don't know how to reset this printer so I haven't tried anything with the various buttons, etc.

    I've just installed an HP Laserjet P1102w from the disk and it won't stop printing. I've disabled the bidirectional support and gotten rid of all other HP devices on my laptop but it still keeps going - just printing blank page after blank page. How can I stop this?

  • Printer jobs won't restart

    Hi there, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a printing problem I'm having.
    I have a 1.42ghz PPC mac mini running ver 10.3.9, my printer is an Epson R200.
    The computer has suddenly developed a fault whereby printing to this printer is not possible, as any time you send a document to the printer the icon with the exclamation point appears in the dock and it says that the printer job queue is stopped. If you click on the button to re-start the jobs, a message comes up for a few seconds saying "opening printer connection" After a few seconds this dissappears and the jobs remain stopped.
    I have tried repairing/verifying permissions , this did not appear to have any effect. I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
    I also downloaded an application called printer setup repair, which allowed me to restore OS X's printing system. This actually seemed to fix the problem, however after printing 2 documents the problem re-surfaced.
    I have ruled out there being any hardware problem with the printer, as I can print perfectly from my powerbook. In fact, the only way I can print to the R200 from the mac mini is by using my powerbook with printer sharing turned on.
    If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix the problem, any input would be most gratefully received.
    Gordo.
    mac mini 1.42ghz ppc   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hello Gordon,
    First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
    `I tried deleting the printer and re-installing it, again with no luck.
    What are you meaning with I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER??
    On the in-stall CD that came with your printer is a un-installer, you have to use that to get rid of ALL drives. After you finish re-install the printer.
    When you do so unplug everything that is connected to the computer to the printer. Shut down the printer, when everything is back on an plugged in than press the power button on the printer.
    Let me know if so ...
    Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

  • Won't Stop Printing With AirPrint

    I have a M1217nfw Laserjet Printer. When I have 6 iPad that print to this printer. At the moment they are up-to-date with the most current iOS 6.0.1 software. When we print to the this specific printer it will not stop printing. It will continue to repeat the same pages. I have checked the firmware which is also up-to-date. I have talked to HP about it and they believe it has to do something with Apple; however, on my other HP printers it works just fine. Really would like to find a fix soon due to the programs that we use rely on airprint to work.
    Printer M1217nfw
    Firmware:20120901
    6 iPads: iOS 6.0.1

    Alright, from what I understand through contacting our engineers is that this issue pertains to our firmware compatibility with the latest version of iOS6. This will be corrected in the next firmware update, however. In the meantime, there is a thread on the ePrint forum about what you can do to avoid this problem and several work arounds that you can do to get your prints to be exectued in the fashion you wish. 
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile-Printing-and-ePrintCenter/HP-LaserJet-Pro-M121...
    I hope that this is the information you are all looking for, and I do apologize for the inconvenience until that firmware update is released.
    Have a great day! 

  • Print Job visibility on shared print queues

    Hello all,
    Quick scenario, where print server has a print queue shared with several clients. Each user is sending jobs using this shared queue. Is it possible that users only see their print jobs when opening the print queue, instead of all jobs, from other users,
    being sent to that print queue.
    I am aware that you can mask the job title and job owner, from the driver prespective. Nevertheless I am wondering if there is something from a service or policy prespective that can be applied globally to all printer, independely of the print driver in
    use.
    Thanks

    Yes.   The client will not matter.  The driver version or Type will not matter.
    The documentation is extremely limited.  Most of the 2012 What's new in..... was overwritten with the What's new in 2012R2.
    But what the heck.  I always go the extra mile for people wishing to deploy print servers.   There has been a patch release where you can add the true document name in the print event logged.  There are ways to determine the queue view
    true document name but code would need to be written and compiled.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134163.aspx
    When printing to a Windows Server 2012 print queue, only users with administrator permissions on the print queue (full system administrator or delegated print administrator, see
    Assign Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2012) will see readable document names when viewing the print queue.  Users can still view the
    queue from their client computer and will see their own document name in full, but for other user’s print jobs they will see
    Print Document for the document name.
    Additionally, in most cases in the event log on the server, the document name will also appear as
    Print Document.  However, in some job failure cases, the document name will be listed in the failure event.

  • HP 1522nf printing job won't start

    Hi:
    I have the HP 1522nf. I always leave the printer power on. Sometimes like once a month, the printer job will not start. I can still go into the printer setting website. (192.168.1.x) But whenever I print, the transfer will stuck at about 68.2kb, and just won't print anything. I have a restart the printer, and then everything is back to normal. I also tried to unplug the printer's network, it will print out eventually just right after I unplug it. And then print out a error message saying "syntax error" offending command: --nostringval--. What's the problem here?
    I have the newest firmware.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    From the Desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  Into the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter. 
    Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button. 
    Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
    Restart the computer and you should find the job has been removed.

  • Print Jobs won't start

    After several years of trouble-free printing from my Blue Dalmation iMac to a HP Deskjet 630 printer, it's all suddenly gone wrong.
    Recently I zapped my PRAM and ever since I've been unable to get the Print Jobs to start. Every time I click 'Start Jobs' it immediately goes back to 'Print Jobs Stopped' and nothing will print.
    I went into the Printer Setup Utility, hit Reset Printing System and tried to add the HP printer again. But when I do that I get "Error:-9672".
    Someone please help! I can't print anything at the moment and I'm in a right old stew without a printer!

    Hi again!
    Right - I've sorted out the repairing permissions problem (I had indeed accidentally trashed the BaseSystem.pkg - I replaced it from my laptop and all is fine).
    Having done that I repaired permissions, rebooted both my Mac and the printer...
    But I still get exactly the same error message when trying to add the printer.
    Could this be something to do with HP Printers and the latest OSX Security Update? I've noticed a couple of HP printer users further down this part of the forum seem to have had the same problem.

  • Officejet J4680 won't stop printing

    Hi,
    Before I contact HP support, thougth I would see if anyone here can help.
    I have just bought a J4680 all in one.  Whenever I send anything to print (from any application), it keeps printing multiple copies until I delete the print job from my PC.  Can any one shed any light on this or suggest a solution?
    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit (all updates installed), and the all in one is connected via wi-fi.  Have tried switching off firewall (Zonealarm) but same thing happens.  Have un-installed and re-installed the printer and software but still the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Just an update after contacting HP tech support, seems to have sorted out the issue.
    In case anyone else has a similar problem here is what they suggested. (Four steps, if the first doesn't work, move on to the next)
    Step 1: Set number of copies
    Pretty self explanatory, make number of copies is set to one. Had obviously already checked this so moved on to next step. 
    Step 2: Restart the Print Spooler device
    1. Open Administrative Tools. - Click system maintenance in control panel, then click administrative tools..
    2. Double-click Services.
    3. On the User Account Control window, click Continue.
    4. Click Print Spooler.
    5. Click Stop to stop the Print Spooler.
    6. Click Start to restart the Print Spooler.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Restart the computerDidn't work for me, but others may have more luck.
    Step 3: Print directly to the printer
    1. In control panel click Hardware and sounds.
    2. Right-click the printers icon.
    3. Locate and click on HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One Printer icon
    3. Click Properties.
    4. Click the Advance tab.
    5. Click Print directly to the printer.
    6. Click OKThis did stop the first problem of the printer continuing to print, but left the document queued so when I sent anything else to print it got stuck in the queue and was unable to delete the first job in the queue.
    Step 4: Install Alternate DriversThis step did the job, seems strange that I have to use drivers for another printer, surely HP should make sure its drivers work before releasing a product, or if they know these drivers work, why not ship these with the officejet and rename them?
    Anyway, just add a new printer from the control panel, choosing the local option and LPT1 as the port, and select the HP 990c from the list as the printer to install. Once installed, right click on the printer within the printers folder and select properties (see previous step). Click the Ports tab, from here change the port to the one set up for the J4680

  • Awesome Airplanes - won't stop printing!
