Print on desktop

How can I print a document in PDF to my desktop.

Couldn't you just option click the document(PDF?) and download it to your desktop? From there you could open and print. Chrome will let you print PDF's from within the browser. Hope this helps.

Printing from desktop suddenly stopped

printing from desktop suddenly stopped 2 days ago; remote printing still works perfectly; desktop shows printer "uninstalled." Print doctor says the printer and desktop are connected to different routers, but nothing has been changed; the issue simply arose suddenly, so I don't think this is an accurate diagnosis. When I try to install the printer again, it says the IP # is already installed (which it is and it prints from a laptop, just shows "uninstalled" for desktop printing. ) Help!
This question was solved.

Sharon,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
If I understand what you are saying, it appears that one computer - the notebook - is working correctly to print.
A different computer -- a Desktop computer - does not print, and is showing an error indicating that the printer is not connected properly (or something similar).
Assuming you are using DHCP and not a Static IP address for the Printer, the following might apply to your setup.
You might try / consider the following to try and fix the problem for the Desktop computer:
On the Desktop: Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click >> Uninstall
Shut down the Desktop Computer
Optional
Disconnect the extra bits from the Desktop -- USB drives, speakers, other unnecessary devices. Leave the monitor and mouse connected; these are considered necessary.
Unplug the Desktop computer for thirty seconds
Reconnect the Desktop computer to the power (plug in)
Reconnect the Desktop's devices as desired: USB drives, etc.
Shut down the Notebook, using proper shutdown protocols
Shut down the Printer
Switch off the Router - wait ten - fifteen seconds...
Switch on the Router - wait thirty seconds for the Router to boot completely...
Boot Notebook, Desktop computer, and then start the Printer
Install the Full Feature Software onto the Desktop computer:

Can't print from Desktop

I bought an HP ENVY 7645 and can print from all my devices (phones, tablets) but it does not print from the desktop. When I try to activate it from the desktop, the message is "Adding printer to your HP Connected Account failed".
Please help.

Unfortunately, I cannot do this for you.
If the Claim code is missing or unusable, you can apply for another, replacement claim sheet with a new number. Once generated, the new number will be usable for 24 hours.
Excerpted from Add Device to Printer :
First Time Setup: Your printer should have come with the basic ePrint setup instructions that also allow you to print out your Web Services (Claim) Sheet that contains your printer’s default ePrint email address.

Hp officejet 4500 wireless won't print from laptop. It is connected to laptop.It prints from desktop

We have a HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer which was first installed in 2011 without any problems. We also utilize a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (not wireless) with our network. I cannot print from my laptop to either printer, but hubby's desktop has no problem. Both printers stopped working for my laptop at the same time. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I could no longer print directly from my Dell Inspiron laptop. When I check on the connectivity of both printers to my laptop, the information tells me the printers are connected to my laptop.
My husband has a Dell desktop (our main computer).
I have tried everything I know to fix this problem, including shutting down the desktop, my laptop, the router, and the printers (including disconnecting the printers from the desktop with the cords that connect to the printers). I have followed all instructions on how to restart the entire system...plug the router in, plug in the printers & turn them on, and lastly restart both computers.
I am not what one would call "computer savvy"; as a matter of fact, I am quite computer-challenged. If any of you can tell me in extremely-easy-to-understand language what to do, I would appreciate your help.

Hi,
Pleae download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor utility which should resolve most of printing issues.

Batch Printing with Desktop Printer

I have been batch printing with a desktop printer to a ethernet connected xerox phaser printer. The files are doc files that I drop onto the desktop printer to automatically print anywhere from 10-30 files at a time. I either use TextEdit or Pages as the default program for the files so I do not have to deal with the print dialog box that comes up with Microsoft Word. My problem is that if I send 20 files for example, only a certain number of them will actually print and the job of printing all of them is not completed. It appears random. Sometimes it may get through 5 and othertimes 15 files before it stops. There is no error message and it seems as if everything was sent to the xerox printer fine...
Any advise would be appreciated

I spoke with Xerox support. They suggest typing your printers IP address in a browser, clicking on PROPERTIES, select GENERAL from the file menu on the left, then select PRINTER DEFAULTS. Change Timeout Settings from a default of 120 to 999.
Apparently the printer drops info if it takes longer than a specific duration so if there is network traffic or a large number of files are being sent all at once.
I just changed my settings so we shall see if this works

Crashing When Printing and Desktop Icons

Hi,
For some reason every program I try to print from crashes. Also, my desktop icons are all generic rather than program-specific. I'm not really sure what happened. I did install new ram today, and took the laptop to work where it tried to find the printers on the network there. Something might have gotten messed up then, I don't know.
I've tried repairing permissions and get these messages:
ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root/Library/Preferences".
ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root/Library".
ACL found but not expected on "private/var/root.
Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
I have a HP OficeJet 7210. When drop a document into the printers's print queue window things print fine, but every other program I try to print from crashes.
Any ideas?
Best wishes,
Bruce

Hi,
Thanks for resonding. I launched Word, tried to print, and copied this from the error report window that popped up. Hope it is what you are asking for. If not, please tell me where the crash log might be found. In the mean time I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the HP printer drivers.
Thanks again,
Bruce

Printer won't let laptop print unless desktop on

I have an HP Officejet 8600 Plus E- All-in-one printer set up in a small office (5 people). When employees are using their laptops and wish to send something to print; unless the desktop in the reception area is on, it seems that they are not able to print to the wireless printer. I tried to contact support but my printer is no longer able to receive HP Support help. Hopefully someone out there can tell me why this is an issue. We are all connected to the same WIFI source that the printer is connected to. Every laptop has either downloaded or installed the software and driver information. The desk top can even phisically be on, but sleeping and someone will have to either move the mouse or log back in to get back to the desk top in order to allow a laptop user to print. No error alerts pop up on the desk top when this happens either. Not sure if this is something as simple as unchecking a box thats in settings or if there is a bigger issue. ALL and any help would be appreciated. We have tried to disconnect and reconnect, forgetting the printer and then reinstalling... nothing seems to change.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I see you're having connectivity confusion. I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Also, do you have any issues when you try to make a copy? Good luck and please let me know what you find. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Printer won't print from desktop computer

My printer was printing fine until I went away on vacation. I shut off my computer and printer while I was away. When I came home, I started up the computer and printer and the printer would not print from my desktop. I can print wirelessly from my devices (IPhone and laptop) but not from the desktop computer. I have tried the HP Doctor program (did not help), have tried plugging the printer directly into the computer through a USB port (dopesn't help) and tried it without a printer cable. Everything was fine when I left--now it won't print at all. I'm thinking it somehow dropped something it needs to print successfully? Any suggestions?

Hello ! Thanks for posting on the HP forums! I should be able to provide some help regarding the printer issue. You mentioned that the printer is able to print wirelessly from other devices such as your iPhone and other laptop. This sounds like there may be either a software issue in the current computer or a firewall in the current computer blocking the printer. If it was working before i doubt it is firewall but it can still be a factor. The first thing I would recommend is t uninstall and reinstall the HP software. To uninstall the software i would recommend following this document regarding Uninstalling the Printer Software. In the document click on Windows 8 and follow the steps. After the uninstall is finished it is recommended to restart the computer before you re-install. When running the install of the HP software it should locate the printer as WiFi connected and set it up correctly. Let me know how it goes!

Printer won't print from desktop, but will from laptop

Hi,
For some reason my printer does not print from my desktop, but it will perfectly fine on my laptop. It is USB connected. I have all the drivers, software, etc. for my Deskjet 1510 on my desktop, but it just won't print. Everytime I want to print I have to run the USB back and forth from my printer to my laptop. The desktop recognizes the printer and everything is plugged in. I have tried multiple USB slots and everything else works in those slots. I have tried the Print and Scan doctor also. Weird thing is the printer can scan to my desktop!
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hey there @pepsitruck
I understand you cannot print from your desktop however, you can print from your laptop.
Could you please run the Print and Scan Doctor again and let me know the results or post a screen image of the results?
This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
You can also try manually stopping and restarting the print spooler and try printing from Notepad afterwards.
1. Click Start
2. Type "Services" in the search field.
3. Open SERVICES
4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"
5. Search for Print Spooler
6. Right-click it and choose Properties
7. Select as Automatic in the drop down box, close the Window
8. Right click on Print Spooler and choose "Stop", wait until it stops and then right click again and "Start".
9. Close out of Services and try your print again.
When you get to your response, please include which version of Windows you're running please.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?

Can't print using Desktop class

I found some code to print out a text file at this site:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/CatalogJava.htm
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class print
public static void main(String[] a)
    try
      Desktop desktop = null;
      if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported())
        desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
      File f = new File("C:\\a.txt");
      desktop.print(f);
    catch (IOException ioe)
      ioe.printStackTrace();
}but I get this run time message:
C:\java>javac print.java
C:\java>java print
java.io.IOException: Failed to print file:/C:/java/graphics.java. Error message:
No application is associated with the specified file for this operation.
at sun.awt.windows.WDesktopPeer.ShellExecute(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.windows.WDesktopPeer.print(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Desktop.print(Unknown Source)
at print.main(print.java:16)
What is wrong with the code?

I've got XP/SP2 here, so your mileage might vary.
When I looked I saw that .java files were configured to open with Notepad ie there was an "open" entry in the menu when you right clicked on them, and Notepad would start when you double clicked on them.
When I compiled and ran your program (changing the file name) this is what I saw:
    C:\>javac -cp . A.java
    C:\>java -cp . A\\    java.io.IOException: Failed to print file:/C:/A.java. Error message: The paramet\\    er is incorrect.

    C:\>Here's how I registered Notepad to print .java files: From Windows Explorer I choose "Tools" then "Folder Options". In the "File Type" tab I scrolled down to "JAVA" - the file types are listed alphabetically b extension - and then clicked the "Advanced" button. From there you are able to add a new action. Actions are the things that appear in the context menu when you right click an icon in Windows Explorer. In fact I added two actions: open and print.
For instance to print the application was
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\NOTEPAD.EXE /p %1
Use DDE was ticked, the application was set to NOTEPAD and the Topic was System. The open action was the same except that the application lacked the /p part. I added the open action before the print action.
(I should explain that I added both and choose the settings I did by looking at how TXT files were already set up in the "File Type" pane of the "Folder Options" dialog).
After closing and OKing everything, I ran the program again.
    C:\>java -cp . A
    C:\>This time the file printed OK.

Cannot Print from Desktop

Just recently, I am unable to print from my desktop computer but can from my laptop. I was able to a few days ago. My print options shows the print job in the queue but will not load. HELP!

Hi Geoff,
What printer model do you have?
If your printer is Airprint enabled (i'll need to model number to be able to check), then it should be relatively simple to be able to print from your iPad.
You just need to ensure that both your printer and iPad are connected to your home wifi network, then when you select options on your iPad, you'll be able to see your printer and print to it.

Sharing Printer with Desktop & Laptop

My desktop is Windows XP, my laptop is Windows 7. I am using a router for the laptop. Is this why I am unable to sirelessly use my printer that is connected to my desktop? Not able to share my printer.

Im unable to print to desktop, please assist.

Trying to a print a document to my desktop, however I am not able to add desktop printing. Can anyone please assist? Using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

So create a fake printer.
System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners
Click the [+] at the bottom of the left side of the control panel
Select Add Printer or Scanner...
Select IP tab
Address: 127.0.0.1
Click Add
It will be unable to verify the printer, BUT you click "Continue" anyway.
Click OK
You now have a printer.
System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners -> Default Printer: Select your fake 127.0.0.1 printer.
Now you have a printer. You should be able to use File -> Printer -> PDF -> Save as PDF...

Our new wireless printer will not scan. I have tried to scan from the computer and get the below error message and then I have activated the scan from printer and when I push the scan button on the printer, I get the same error message.
Thanks!

I had some problem. I found you must use HP 'Update IP address' program to add printer instead use window add printer. All programs -> HP ->HP Deskjet 3050 610 series -> Update IP address.
