Printer icon (queue) in Dock After Every Print.... WHY??

Anyone else experiencing this? After every single print job, on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac, I have to click on my printer icon (print queue box) and QUIT manually. This never happened before my 10.5 Leopard upgrade. Same printer as before, same computers as before. Is this some kind of new setting? Why do I have to see/close the print queue after every single print job sent? This is so time consuming and becoming very annoying. Is this a bug in Leopard or is there a setting that changed after my 10.5 Leopard upgrade???

i was having the same problem, did a quick search in the forums, and found that this is already discussed and solved several times
here's one

How to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print

hi all
basically i want to know to stop how to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print
whenever i print it stays there, and doesnt disspear everytime automatically

When you print your next document, right click or control click on the printer icon in the Dock. This will provide you with a menu of options. One of them is Auto Quit. Select it. Quit the printer queue and then print another document. The printer "app" will now quit after a successful print.
Hope this helps.

Printer dispenses a blank page after every printing!

Suddenly my printer is dispensing a blank sheet of paper after almost every printing. Oddly, the only thing unusual I've done, relating to the hp printer, is downloading the HP Printer Assistant and the HP Printer and Scan Doctor! I've checked all relative settings and nothing seems out of the ordinary or different.

Hi @ibgb
Another user recently posted what he/she tried to resolve this same issue. Perhaps it might work for you too;
I reset my top and bottom margins and test printed and scanned and it did not put out any blank sheets. - Source
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please try the following;
1. Touch the Windows key on the keyboard to get to the start screen, then without clicking anything type Devices and Printers, and tap or click the Devices and Printers icon.
2. Right click on the printer icon and click on printer properties.
3. Then click on Advance Tab, and click on the Separator Page tab.
4. A small windows open with the location of the file. Delete the path, click ok to save the settings.
I hope this helps.

Printer icon appearance on dock

I just converted from PC to iMac. Is there a way for me to have a printer icon show in my dock? Now when I want to scan a document I must open system preferences & click on scan. I'm looking for a shortcut.
Thanks.

You don't need a printer icon on the Dock. To print the simple command from any app is Command P or if you want to use the mouse it's under the File menu just like a PC. However to scan, all Macs come with an app called Image Capture (look in the Applications folder) and you can simple drag that to the Dock and launch Image Capture that way. Another shortcut is to click Command Spacebar (this opens Spotlight) and type Image Capture or the name of any app or file you want to open.
To learn more about Image Capture please click http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4505

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back? I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck. I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck. IOS 10.9.4

Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.

P3005 error message PCL XL error IllegalMediaSource extra sheet printed after every print job

We have a networked P3005 with a stepped back PCL5e driver working for three Word 2003 people and one Word 2007 person. Out of the blue the Word 2007 person began getting an extra sheet of paper after every print job with the error message PCL XL error Warning: IllegalMediaSource. We had gotten a version of this error before, which is why I stepped back the driver to PCL5e.
Anyone have any thoughts? Please??

I have not had any problems since I read a post from someone to turn the printer off unplug the power cord from it and wait a little bit. Plugged it back in, turned it on and it has been working. I am using Vista 32 bit. I'm not sure this is what you are wanting on the driver. I found this HPC14106 .GPD 3.25.2010
Thanks

CP1518NI - Turn off the blasted auto clean after every print + Win7 64 Drivers???

Is there any way to do this because this printer is useless if printing out 5 sheets of stickers takes over 20 minutes to finish with the autoclean after EVERY print.
And are there no verified Win7 drivers for this printer or are there really just the universal ones HP tells me to use?

After a day of testing here is what I have - unlikely to be graphics card as bunch of GPUTool stability tests for ~15 minutes (that got the GPU temperature up to ~80 deg C) with no errors, also unlikely to be a mainboard temp sensor - CPU stays cool for most of the time and I run number of tests to make it hotter (with no errors either). It seems to be that another OpenGL (and probably in conjuntion with graphics driver) issue - since I turned OpenGL permanently off using registry key found here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4056 did not had a crash although opening RAWs from a Bridge/PS for a whole day - hope it stays like that...
Thanks a lot everyone for help...

Suddenly, I can't print any web page. After the print command, it wants to save it as a XPS file.

suddenly I can't print any web page. After the print command it wants me to save as an XPS file and I can't get past that.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== few weeks ago

I found that Firefox/XPS had deleted all printer driver setups except for the XPS connection. I had to reinstall my printer connection in order to have that selection present in the printer dialogue box.

Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s. Can Mavericks be uninstalled?

Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

The print icon no longer brings up the print box

The print icon no longer bring up the print box, which is the box that appears when clicking on "File" "Print". Instead, it brings up a new webpage with an image of what is to print. That is more cumbersome and takes more steps. Even though I can print from that page, I also have to back out of that new page when
I am done. I am using Windows 8.

Sorry, that is a new "feature" in Firefox 29.0.
You could use '''{Ctrl + P}''' to initiate printing and not see the Print Preview window, but beyond that I don't have a solution for you that involves an easy way to revert to the previous action of that button.
I use an extension named Print / Print Preview that adds a contextual menu entry for both Print and Print Preview. I don't like wasting the toolbar space for a button, when I can print via a context menu item ''(something that was left out of Firefox since the beginning, IMO)''.

My hp6600 printer is connected to my wireless which is provided by my TimeCapsule. my Windows7 prints fine wirelessly. however my MACBooks do not print wirelessly. I can scan from HP6600 to MACBook wirelessly and if I print the queue looks ok but no print

my hp6600 printer is connected to my wireless which is provided by my TimeCapsule. my Windows7 prints fine wirelessly. however my MACBooks do not print wirelessly. I can scan from HP6600 to MACBook wirelessly and if I print the queue looks ok but no print comes out.
can anyone assist pls!

It sounds like the windows computer has captured the printer..
I suggest you turn the windows computer off.. reboot the rest of the network and see if the Mac can then print.. if not, remove the printer setup in the Mac and redo it.
Remember the TC has absolutely nothing to do with this.. TC is merely a wireless router.
This is windows and Mac interferring with each other.

Printer Icon not in dock when printing - cannot access queue

Suddenly no printer icon is in the dock when printing.
In case of an error, I cannot access the problem.
I cannot access the queue.
What's more: the printer just printed an image - but not the image that I commanded to print.
It was the image that I printed a week ago - he just printed it again.
I cannot find the printer utility in "scan and print".
How can I make the printer utility appear?

Problem solved.
Suddenly the button "printer cue" was there - which was absent until now.
I dragged the print queue window to the dock, and to make sure it stays there I added it through "keep in dock" to the dock.
There was no option to remove this thread.
