Print's first line then freezes

Blue tooth connetion is fine on both printer and computer. Computer recognizes printer. Printer says "ready." When send a document to print, paper drops in properly, and printer makes printing noise. Display says "Now Printing," but nothing seems to be happening. Eventurally an error message displays on laptop. Cancel printing (which requires disabling from labtop to get it to stop). When paper comes out, only first line of text printed. Called tech support. They asked me to print from notepad. It prints from notepad (only tested on line of text). It wll also print from Word doc if only one line of text. WIth multiple lines of text or images from any program, it fails. I uninstalled, reinstalled, checked ink cartriges, checked paper, turned on-off, restarted, turned on devices in both orders (printer first, computer first)... all multiple times. Same result. The printer was able to print a webpage before (only printed one page since I've owned it). Now that I have installed the updated driver it does not work.

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are experiencing some issues with printing from your Windows 8.1 machine to your Officejet 150. I can help with that. First, to make sure the printer itself is functional on the printer click on Setup and then Reports and then Print Status Report. If that prints then we know the printer itself is functional. Next, we'll test your print system. To do so:Turn the printer off.Go to your PC's Control Panel and then Printers and Devices.Right click on any picture of the printer you have.Click on Remove Device.Repeat for any other printers that are listed.Turn the printer on.Try printing.If this works then we know your print system is fine. From here we can try printing through Bluetooth. To do so:Return to Devices and Printers.Right click on the printer to remove it.Add the Bluetooth printer back.Try printing.Hopefully this will allow you to print. If you have any other questions please let me know. Likewise if it resolves your issues then please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post. I hope this helps and I hope you have a great evening!

D110 only prints the first line.

If I send an item to the printer, it only prints the title. I have tried to copy to notepad and pasted to an email. Then sent it to the printer thru an email. It only prints the first line. How do I get it to print the whole item?

You can use one of our diagnostic tool and can this can help you resolve the issue automatically and you can use it in future as well.

Will only print the first line or so to a HP Officejet Pro K550

The Mac has been connected for a number of years to the printer, but suddenly it started to only print the top line or so of a text. The problem occurred later in the day having worked fine in the morning.
The self test for the printer works fine, producing a full test sheet, including all colours (and there is no indication that ink is running low).
It looks as if it is almost certainly a problem with the Mac itself, especially since the printer works with other, non-Mac - laptops.

Jane,
Run Software Update and see if there are any new drivers available. If none appear then follow Apple's steps in Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system

Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.
I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.
The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to
print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.
I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several
times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.
Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".
I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that
option is not even available.
The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

Hi James,
Did this printer work correctly before ?
To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
Considering it is a USB device ,plug in with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
Please check whether the Event Viewer contains errors or warnings related to this issue .
I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

Blue lines then freezing up

I've been having some trouble with the imac freezing up on me. It usually happens just after thin blue lines start to appear on the screen while on the internet. I then have to turn it off and leave it sit for a while before I can boot it back up. If I try to boot it right away I get a blue screen with some white lines in it. This all started happening after I noticed some faint horizontal lines in the icons. Those have been there for a couple of weeks now. This process happens every 2-3 days or so. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Thanks for the advice Miriam!
I've reset the SMU and went ahead and did the PRAM as well. The lines in the icons are now gone and it seems to be running okay. Its still locking up some though. Happens more on the internet than when I'm in Photoshop or Word. I did the extended hardware check from the system disk and everything passes that test. I haven't been able to determine any pattern so far. Sometimes it goes days without crashing and then some days I see that spinning beachball of death multiple times. A few times I have seen thin blue lines appear randomly on the screen right before crashing. When that happens I have to let it sit for a while before I can restart the machine. When it crashes without seeing the blue lines I can restart it immediately. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

IMAC 20 thin horizonal lines , then freezes shortly after normal boot.

20inch Intel IMAC, late 2006 model 2.16 processor, 2 Gig RAM OSX 10.4.
Horizontal lines are very thin and appear in random locations on screen.
Safe Mode Boot works fine, no horizontal lines in display, no freezing. Used Safe mode to update S/W to latest versions of 10.4. Extended Diagnostics from OSX CD show no problems. Tried to reload OSX from CD but computer freezes too quickly to complete in Normal mode and don't know how to in safe mode. Any assistance appreciated.

I have your soultion!
Send or drop off your unit to an Apple Store .. they will fix it free whether not or its out-of-warranty!

Photosmart C6180 - printing incomplete characters, lines, colors

The printer doesn't print all of the letter (like the tail of the y), doesn't print the first line and doesn't print the right colors. What it does print is very light and difficult or impossible to read. Tried cleaning the printhead (through the settings menu on the printer itself) and it seemed to fix the problem but only for a few days and then started again. Operating system is Windows 8.

Hello AuntM, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing issues with your print output. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Quality Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP deskjet printing issue - alternate line cut off and blocks

Hi guys recently bought a deskjet 3050 and it started printing fine, when i had to print out a large document (roughly about 30 pages) it started to cut out sections of text and replacing them with black blocks.
now when printing it prints the first line fine then the second line is half missing and some words are replaced with black blocks. then the next line is fine, the next is cut off and blocks again and so it continues.
it only does this with black ink and not colours.
anyone know a solution?

It sounds like the black cartridge has failed electrically. Try printing a diagnostic page as shown in Solution 6 of the page here. Does this print properly? I suspect the black nozzle pattern in the upper right will be corrupted. You might try removing the cartrdige and cleaning the electrical contacts but I suspect the cartridge will need to be replaced. You can check the cartrdige warranty as shown here assuming it is an original HP cartridge.

Pages print in draft mode. first line normal and then the rest faint, how dop I restore this please

Pages printing in draft mode. First line normal and the rest is faint.
Please, how do I reset this.
Thanks
Bruce

If you are using a printer (e.g. HP) that has an Economode (powersaver) setting, leave this off. Otherwise, your prints will look washed out as though toner was depleted.
Since Pages itself does not have a selectable “draft” mode, the focus will be on your printer hardware and configuration.

Printing the First 14 Characters of Every Line in a Text File

My text file looks like the following:
1111097116274, H0101C58F8110C005, 1, 16:48:03
1111097116274, H0100058F8110C006, 2, 16:48:10
1111097116274, H00F0458F8110C006, 3, 16:48:12I want my java program to print the first 14 characters of every line. Here's what I have:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.io.*;
public class Read {
     public static void main( String args[] ) {
    try {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("aFile.txt"));
        String line;;
        /*String tagid;*/
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
             char[] tagid = line.toCharArray();
             line.getChars(0, 14, tagid, 0);
             System.out.println(tagid);
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Error" );
         System.exit(0);
     Instead of printing the first 14 characters of every line to output, it prints the whole text file.
Any ideas of what's wrong?
Thanks.

Well, that's the thing with a highly tuned, precision engine like your mind, JosAH. Adding a little alchohol to the fuel mix provides a performance boost, but as the alcohol/fuel ration increases, the performance improvement peaks and then degrades, until the performance is actually reduced. Now, I understand that in the case of the magic Grolsch, this performance curve is shifted farther to the right (graphed with Grolsch count as the independent variable, and performance improvement as the dependent variable), but it still occurs.
I recommend nitrous oxide. You may need to get your piston heads hardened, though.

Printing to Adobe - missing or wrong formatted first line

I open a PDF file. Then I select a part of the content that I want to print into another PDF.
I choose Adobe PDF print.
When the result show up, I see only half of the first line. And sometimes even half of the last line.
We are using Windows 7 and acrobat pro 9.
Anyone has an idea what's going wrong?
Thanks in advance
Greetings
Lainkes

Hi Lainkes,
How are you printing the selected part of the PDF content?
I tried by selecting an area using "Snapshot Tool" and then File-->Print. From the "Print" dialog box, selected the "Selected Graphic" radio button.
The output was as desired.
Are your steps different than mentioned above? Does your PDF contains Text or Images or Both?
Regards,
Shashi

When I print a selection of text the top half of the first line is cut off, i. e. isn't printed, OS X 10.7.2, Firefox 9.0.1.

When I try to print selected text ("Print Selection Only"), the top half of the first line of the first page is chopped off. Then the last line is chopped in half (top half on the bottom of page 1, bottom half on top of page 2). This occurs on all subsequent pages.

I have a very similar problem on the same versions of Firefox and OS X as the OP.
For me, the cutoff problem occurs on the top and bottom of ALL pages intermittently, depending on the line spacing of the current selection (or so I assume).

I have a LaserJet 5L printer and I can't get it running properly under 10.5.8 while it works fine under 10.4.11. It only prints the first document and then shows the queue and prints slow like ****, it says so, but nothing printed after30 minuts.

Hi.
I have problems to get my Laser Jet 5L running properly under 10.5.8. I prints the first page/document and then it says1,36 % printed than printing but nothing happens. Under 10.4.11 everything works fine, sometimes I have to get the print jobs running again,but then it works.
I have the Laser Jet 5L connected via USB to parallel.
I am running a PowerBook G4 1,67 GHz and 2 GByte RAM.

Summary field printing on the first line when it supposed to prin last page

i have created manual report. in the end of the report i have summay columns. wheni run in oracle reports it perfectly shows the grand totle. when i generate to file (PDF) thegrand total print on the first line. can some one tell me wht is it printig on the first line when it supposed to print on the last page. i tried print object on Last Page. it is still same.

You may have hit this side effect of page protect (all copied from the Help):
Description The Page Protect property indicates whether to try to keep the entire object and its contents on the same logical page. Setting Page Protect to Yes means that if the contents of the object cannot fit on the current logical page, the object and all of its contents will be moved to the next logical page.
Note: Using Page Protect may cause objects below the page protected object(s) to appear above the page protected object(s).
Solution:
If Page Protect causes an object to be moved to the next logical page when formatting, an object alongside the page protected object may or may not be moved as well. If the object alongside the page protected object is not anchored (implicitly or explicitly) to the page protected object, and that object can fit in the space where the page protected object could not fit, the object will print on that logical page. Otherwise, the object will be moved along with the page protected object to the next logical page.
(To say it simply: anchor the summary field explicitly).

Print's first line then freezes
