Print queue does not work

Since the update I did from Tiger to Leopard the Print Queue does not work. When I print a document the printer starts to jump up and down on the Dock for more than 5 minutes. Printing finishes and the icon of the printer is still "dancing" on the Dock. If I try to open Print Queue the window does not open immediately but after a long time and I can't see the printing documents that are waiting in the queue. As a result I can't stop or pause or delete a printing document. The same thing happens if I try to open Print Queue from the Print & Fax Preferences' window. The window opens after a long delay and nothing can't be controlled from this window. I forgot to say that the printer icon remains on the Dock and Force Quit is the only option I have when trying to quit it.
I have tried Permissions Repair. Nothing happened. I installed the latest driver. The problem is still there. Only after Reseting Printing System the problem is fixed but until the first reboot. If I restart the computer then the problem appears again and the only thing I can do is to Reset again the Printing System. So, if I want to control the printing procedure, I have to Reset Printing System after every restart!!! Any help???
P.S. I have a Canon iP4500 but I don't think that the printer is the problem because with Tiger I had never face this problem and I have also printed with this printer from a MacBook running Leopard with no problems.

1) I tried Print Therapy and after I had repaired Permissions the problem was solved (some permission problems were found) until the next restart.
2) Then I tried to stop and start again the cupsd process and again the problem was solved until the next restart of the computer.
3) Then I replaced the cupsd.conf file with a new one but the app asked to restart the computer and after this the problem was back.
4) Print Therapy does not find any problems neither in the properties of the root user nor in the current user or any other group.
5) Also the verification of the temporary files find no problems.
In conclusion I think that the problem lies in the cupsd process because when stopped and restarted (we can forget that by Repairing Permissions actually we restart cupsd) I have no problem until the next restart of the computer.

Ipad 2 Print button does not work after 6 upgrade?

Since we upgraded to iOS6, our print button does not work and does not find our printer. It was working fine until iOS6. Called an Apple Technician and he had me reset, which wiped out all of my saved information but didn't fix the print. He then started talking about a restore but the phone line went dead. Has anyone had this problem?

Today's iOS 6.1 update fixed the printer problem.

The print tab does not work in mapquest

You are on the right track to getting the printer installed regarding firewall but perhaps it has saved in a different port on your computer than can communicate correctly. Search Devices and Printers on the Windows 8 PC so you can pull up the printers' folder. Do you see the Officejet 6500 in here (meaning have you installed it again)? If you do not see it here, check your Print Server Properties and make sure the driver is not in here either, if so remove it. Restart the Print Spooler. Make sure you uninstall it completely and shut down the PC (see video link on how to uninstall HP drivers and restart the print spooler in Windows 8 if needed).
Remember to re-install the Full Feature Software and Drivers (for your OS and region) when the PC reboots. Try the test print and if it does not print:
1. Right-click on it and select Printer Properties.
2. Under the Ports tab make sure you see the printer's IP address here or a serial number. Sometimes the HP network -rediscovery ports can be tricky.
3. When the printer is high-lighted in this window, click Add Port.
4. Select Standard TCP/IP and follow the rest of the prompts in the Wizard to enter in the printer's current IP address.
5. Try to print.
If this does not help you, you may have other computer problems.

Finger print reader does not work

i followed the directions and my print was scanned, rescanned,and the edges were scanned and accepted but the reader does not react when the phone is locked....i deleated and rescanned and followed all directions which accepted my finger print....once again thereader does not unlock the phone...any suggestions?

I looked for software and found a suggestion which I down loaded. Now the finger print reader does not work either on Internet Explorer or on Firefox. So I had to do a reset to an early time to get rid of that soft ware. We are back to where I started, with the finger print reader working fine on Explorer 11 and it does not work at all on FireFox. There must be some work around, has this not occurred with other folks.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

hp laserjet 2727 nf driver in osx lion does not work, It crashes the application and sends an error message?

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

Print Spooler does not work after Win 8.1 install

I upgraded several computers to Win 8.1. Most are operating normally and do not have this problem. This is relevant to show that it is not a printer hardware or compatibility problem. On one computer, the print function is not working.
I've tried reinstalling printers, getting new drivers, etc. It comes down to this. An active (connected) printer is selected and print test page is selected. The dialog box says that the print queue is full. I went to the queue subdirectory
and deleted all files, no change to the results. The Print spooler is active in task manager. Stopping and restarting the print spooler makes no difference. Any ideas?

I had similar problems with HP Printers on the LAN (after upgrade from Windows 8 tot 8.1
32bit)
HP Laserjet 4000 Laserjet 4050 and Laserjet 4250 - all with Network interface.
Erratic behaviour: inserting blank pages, no duplex printing, programs stalling when printing etc…
Printers and network are fully functional and work perfectly with W7 and XP. Not with Windows 8.1.
Strange thing: Epson Aculaser and Ricoh Aficio 3224 worked fine but those were installed after the Windows update.
So definitely something with the Microsoft drivers for the HP Laserjet printers.
After a few installs and uninstalls of the HP printer drivers the problems stayed.
Then I removed all HP related driver files (C:\\Windows\\system32\\spool\\PRINTERS")
and all references in the Register because the standard uninstall of the drivers did not remove all files.
-> First uninstall ALL HP printers (laserjet, deskjet, officejet etc ..)
-> Then look in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers]
Make a backup of the registry keys and then remove all files starting with hp….
Remove the print processors starting with hp
(i.e. hpzpplhn.exe)
Then restart your system.
Reinstall the printers, they should be OK now.
If you still have duplex printing problems : replace the hpzpplhm print processor with the winprint processor. (may give other limitations, google for more info).
In my case this solved the erratic printing problems.

Print report does not work in built mode (LV7.1+XP)

Good morning,
I've read some threads about the topic in this Q, but no solution. So my hope is that NI has resolved the problem. Here it goes:
In normal edit mode I can use the Print Report.vi (using the default win printer) to print out some data. The generated report is a standard NI report (that is NOT HTML).
When building an application this no longer works. No data is passed to windows (the printer icon in the system tray never appears) - and hence no output on the printer!
I use WinXP and LV7.1 in both modes. The printer is a HP2300 LaserJet but I've also tried using the old stable Canon LBP 8 II on the FILE: port - but in .exe mode the file box does not appear.
I really hope that NI has a solution
for the problem since we need the built application on several client. And we do not want to pay for several LV licenses.
Speculations on both the application builder and report generation tools have been given in previous threads... However, these gave no solution and all threads are from before LV7.1.
Thanks in advance!
Martin

Are you sure you checked the "NI R
eport Support" under the Advanced
button of the Installer tab in the application builder?

The power cord to my hp photosmart plus printer b209a does not work. what can i do?

The warranty for my computer's printer is up, but the printer has not turned on for quite a while. After going through the HP troubleshooting - nothing seems to work. When the power cord is plugged in, the green indicator light does not light up and the printer will not turn on at all.

Here's the steps to follow if your printer isn't turning on.
If you've gone through all those steps and you still don't have power, there are a lot of places that sell a replacement cord and supply for that printer.

Email submit does not work; print button does not work online

I installed livecycle 8 from cs3 onto a windows 7, 64 bit laptop
I created a sample form to see how it works (sample form http://neelyranch.com/dogbabysittingform.pdf )
Inside the program the form fills nicely, the print button works to my local printer, but the email submit does nothing
I saved and uploaded the file as pdf online and tried it from my browser (chrome)
Neiher print nor email submit buttons work
I saved it as reader extended via adobe 8 with no change
So, ??? am I doing wrong here
Just a quick edit here
I ran the form in Safari, mozila and ie8
in all three the print button did work online, but in all three the email submit did not.
nothing worked in chrome

Thanks for both of the responses. If you did select send then I did not receive anything. I did check chrome plugins and found a message requiring an adobe update for pdf 9.
I updated the pdf reader which gave me an update to pdf 11
I revisited the sample form in live cycle and the online print routine now works in chrome and ie8 but the send email does not send
When I select the send button after completing all of the other fields, I get a message 'preparing to send ...' then a window pops up with nothng in it but a greyed out top heading row, then it disappears and that is it.
Has to be something between the button and the email pgm that is not connecting (my default is gmail)
Same result in both chrome and ie8 - zip.
Suggestions?

Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2128186&tstart=0&messageID=100 97438#10097438
i got my MP980 working via Ethernet and wireless. The same procedure should work for your MP620.
