Printer connected to AE suddenly won't print jobs submitted by Mac clients

I have an HP 2015 Laserjet connected to an ethernet port on my AE. It has been running fine for almost a year. Suddenly (today) it no longer prints jobs submitted from 2 different Macs (10.5.7 and 10.5.8) on the wireless net. There are 2 Windoze machines on the wireless domain which have no trouble printing.
I can see the utility page from the Macs, so the connectivity is there. When I submit a print job, it shows up in the print queue, the green data light on the printer blinks, the job now is displayed in the queue as "completed." But no printing occurs.
Yes, there is paper in the printer. I can print a test page but only from the printer's control panel. The 2 Windows machines can print.
I have tried everything I can think of: removing the printer and reinstalling it, rebooting the machine, cycling power on the AE, cycling power on the printer. Nothing helps.
I run network diagnostics and get the following error message:
+Network Diagnostics was able to connect to the Internet,+
+but not to the server "HP Laserjet P2015 Series+
+(20D501).pdl-datastream.tcp.local." This could be+
+caused by problems with the server, or an Internet+
+problem between this computer and the server.+
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Problem has gone away.
Removed printer from printer list
Shut down everything -- iMac, AE, printer, wait 5 minutes, power back on,
added printer to list
Everything works.
An Apple mystery.

Canon printer connected on Time Capsule won't print from the PC

Hi all !!
I just bought a small printer, Canon MP250.
Connected it to my Time Capsule. Works fine on wifi with my Mac.
But with the PC (connected by ethernet).... it sees the printer, but won't print.
Bonjour installed, firewall desactivated.
Any tips/suggestion/link/idea ?
Thanks for any help !

Here's the Canon's response (sorry, in French). I'm happy that Canon answered personnaly & very quickly to my questions. That's a great support.
Lors du partage d'une imprimante en réseau, Windows utilise un port virtuel et non local, en USB l'ensemble des imprimantes sont configurer en port USB virtuel, Windows peut donc transférer les données vers un autre port virtuel.
Pour la partie scanner, le port est un port USB physique afin de gérer l'alimentation du scanner (puissance de la lampe), il vous faut donc un utilitaire qui vous permet de rediriger le flux de donnée réseau vers le port USB.

HP OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink.

My OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink. The cartridge isn't empty. It still prints everything else. Things that require yellow ink come out a different color (ie: green comes out blue). I've cleaned the printheads several times from the "tools" menu and the report says the printheads are in "good" condition. I've also tried soaking the printheads in hot water for 5 min like was mentioned on here. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi - you've worked through all the steps in the support document here? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01957673&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
If you have, and still see bad red and green blocks on the PQ Diagnostic page (as described in the document), you may have to replace the black/yellow printhead (even if the printhead health is reported as 'good'). You can check your warranty on that printhead here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&docname=c00206040

Canon PIXMA MX712 suddenly won't print or copy anything - no color, no B/W, not even with Deep Clean

Canon PIXMA MX712 worked great, no degradation in print quality (over last 1.5 years). Suddenly won't print or copy anything. Can't print wirelessly (from IPAd or computer) or plugged in with USB directly to laptop. Can't copy. Makes normal print head sounds and "prepares" to print. Sounds like it is working and spits out nothing but blank pages. Tried doing test print and nothing shows up on page. Tried doing a deep clean and still nothing. Tried unplugging and letting it reset and turn back on and still nothing. Tried switching out printer cartridges and still nothing. All lights are on for the print cartridges. The printer says it is ready and never received a print error. Please help me stop getting nothing but blank pages. It would seem normal to start having streaking or blotchy prints, but not just to work great one day and then stop.

I have the exact same problem ... printer is about 18 mths old ... I have done what has been suggested ... any other ideas

My brand new printer LaserJet Pro MPF M127fn won't print after initial test print worked fine

Just installed this printer. USB connection to my PC. Test prints worked fine. Suddenly has stop printing from Word or emails.

On your Mac, open:
System preferences > Network > (whatever your connection) and examine the IPv4 Address.
Wired routers most often use local addresses in the 192.168.xxx.yyy range
Wireless Routers most often use local addresses in the 10.10.xxx.yyy range.
These ranges (along with a few others) are reserved for sets of "private" addresses, that are not visible on the Internet.
The Router will usually be located at kkk.lll.mmm.01
Whatever the range you are using, all the devices with similar addresses can talk freely to each other without any intervention. Any devices with sharply different addresses (such as the entirety of the Internet) must use the Router as their "agent" to communicate.
You want your printers to have addresses in the same range as everything else. If you find you have two non-overlapping ranges active, you will need to demote one of your Routers to be only a wireless access point, not a full Router.

Photosmart 7550 suddenly won't print anything but scanned images?

Hi all,
I've had this printer for a while and have had zero problems with it, and I don't think there's one now. More likely a setting I can't find. I just scanned a bunch of stuff that printed up just fine, but text documents, (I use Open Office) and PDF docs will not. I've tested this out and haven't been able to discover what I've done wrong. I can print anything that I've scanned (scanned docs are displayed by Windows Photo Gallery), but no ODT (Open Office) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat). Won't print from e-mail, either. It was all working fine the last time I printed any ODT or PDF, but it has been a couple of months for those, though I was printing e-mails as recently as last week. Also, when I send the command to print, I see the status bar spooling the pages to print, but the printer never reacts. Then when I double click the printer icon in the toolbar, the printer status window that opens shows "printing", but then suddenly it says "deleting" and it disappears and there are no jobs pending.
I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit. Drivers are up-to-date.
Can anyone help?

Canon Printer suddenly won't print pdfs

All of sudden it won't print pdfs. It will print from Pages, Textedit etc but if I try and Print a PDF I get a Canon Error Number : 94 A paper size that cannot be fed from the cassette was selected. Load paper in the auto sheet feeder, and press the Paper Feed Switch on the printer. Printing will restart. That's as far as it goes. Tried reinstalling the drivers (last update from Canon was June 09). Also reinstalled Acrobat Reader with no luck.

Nothing changed. But since then using AppZapper I removed all the Adobe stuff I have. Then went into Libraries and removed Adobe folder. Then went to print and it works. So it must be an Adobe issue. Don't know what but if I can read and print pdfs without Adobe installed that will do me. Strange. Uses Preview of course.

Mac operating on 10.5 has wireless connection to hp c410 won't print

Printer connects and test print works, scan works, but when I try to print it gets to 97% complete and then goes to pause. Tried all the trouble shooting suggestions, restarting printer, computer, tried reloading software and doing the set up 3 times.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Using Aurora 5.0a2 and is suddenly won't print or do print preview.

Says "printer can't be found" after Print Preview; and "do you want to install a printer" after Print. Clicking Yes I get Print Spooler service is not running, but checking that reveals it is. I recently installed a Java upgrade; tried uninstalling but it can't find the .msi file and fails.
I'm using Windows XP Professional; happens everytime I try to print. I've tried reinstalling 5.0a2 via update but still won't print; also tried stopping and starting Printer Spooler service and shutting down my computer, then restarting it and Aurora. Nada.

Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
It's all very mysterious but it seems to have corrected itself. Eventually the error message "out of paper" appeared yesterday (it had plenty), I pushed in the paper and things started printing again. I was also able to scan again. Not sure if it was down to a Google glitch or what but we're up and running again.
Merci beaucoup!

Pixma MX922 prints a page correctly, then won't print any more...the screen says "Printing..."

As the subject line states - it shows the document is still in the queue. I have it setup on our wireless router to print. I have to unplug the printer in order to reset it - it gives no error message, will not cancel the document, etc. I end up doing this a couple of times per day. Please help! If this is a wifi/WAN network issue, I'll hook up a cord and be done with it - I don't have to use it to print wirelessly, although that is one of the reasons I selected this model was for that capability.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Sometimes you do have to restart everything again, including the Router - even after you have installed the Full Feature Software.
If that does not work (restarting the Router), you might try this:
Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click on the program > Uninstall
Shut down the computer
Shut down / Switch off the printer
Switch off the Router
Wait around for 2 minutes...
Switch on the router and wiat for it to boot completely - say, 1 minute.
Boot the computer and log in
Switch on the printer
Install the Full Feature Software for the printer following the instructions:

Office Jet Pro 8000 Wireless suddenly won't print cyan.

  The printer in question, as stated in the title, is an Officejet Pro 800 Wireless. It still has the original print heads, which it reports to be in “good” condition. All of the original ink cartridges have been replaced once, the last being the cyan cartridge which was replaced with a brand new 940 XL a few weeks ago. The printer has been working flawlessly until just tonight, when it suddenly stopped printing cyan. The other three inks all seem to print just fine, but not cyan.
  So far, I have tried removing and reinstalling the cyan cartridge, and the cyan/magenta printhead. No change. If I try to print a page of solid cyan, I get nothing but a plain white page.
  Any ideas? Is it plausible for there to be a defect in the cyan ink cartridge which would cause it to work just fine for a few weeks, and then suddenly stop? The cartridge has an expiration date of 2014-01-01.
  How about the printhead? The printer reports that it is in “good” condition, and that its warranty expires on 2011-11-19. The warranty on the printer itself has already expired. (Correction—on generating the page again in order to produce the image that I will attach to this message, that status now reads “Monitor” instead of “Good”.)

It seems like there might be a problem with the Cyan\Magenta printhead. I suggest you have a look at teh document below and follow the steps mentioned in it. In your case, you could start from Solution 4, which is to print a Print Quality Diagnostic report and follow the appropriate steps mentioned thereafter.

I think you may need to replace the CM Printhead if the steps don't help.

HP8600 network printer suddenly won't print from my comp only

Ok I have an HP officejet pro 8600. It has been working fine. It is wireless and has printed from my computer and my married male counter part (since the h word is not permitted in this community) with no problems. Now it suddenly prints out blank pages for my computer only. I had to email the link to John's computer and have hom print it off which it did. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it twice. Even on the print preview it shows a blank page.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp! please.
Thank you

Officejet 6500 - suddenly won't print black ink

I have an OfficeJet 6500. It used to work just fine, but all of a sudden, the black ink is not working. I checked that there was ink in the cartridge (there was), and I even replaced the cartridge with a new one. I did a print test page, and the colors are working, but no black ink. I tried rebooting, reinstalling drivers, plugging directly into wall outlet, but still no luck. Sometimes, I can see very faint black ink on the page, but it is definitely unusable like this. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?
I am on Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. There weren't any changes made to the computer right before this problem started.

You need to get a new printhead
