Printer keeps 'stopping' every job i send

i've read several discussions about this, none seem to help so i thought i'd try too.. hope this is the right place to post though!
I have a Lexmark x5260 all in one printer, it's always worked with windows and it used to work with this mac. Sometimes it does, but most of the time i print something and it stops every job. When i resume it stops it again. I've tried deleting any quewes, restarting, reconnecting, and i think i set it up correctly. Is there any obvious solution?! the printer still works when i connect it to my laptop running windows...
thanks

Hello Ozma76 and others,
First I am mainly an OS 9.2 user but I am learning more about X.
We use X.3 in work (school) and I am learning a few things you could try.
First what application are you printing from?
When you go to print do you check in the print dialog box to be sure the correct printer is selected? Also if applicable check the page set-up before printing. Are these printers networked?
The things I would try are these:
1. - Try printing just a small (few letters) from application. Does it work?
2. - Try another application - does that print?
3. - If the answers are no.....I would then go to #4
4. - Go into the sysytem preferences and go to the print center.
5. - Highlight your printer and hit the (minus) sign to delete it.
6. - Make sure the printer is on and connected......
7. - Then in the print center...hit the (plus sign) - The computer will look for drives for the printer you are using.
8. - Apple has pre-installed many drivers and if worse case you need to re-install drivers or download them from the company site.
I think this will get you printing....This is what we have done several times in school. Post Back.........Jim

"Printing" keeps stopping

Every time I click “Print” in the Print dialog, I keep getting the message:
“Printing of jobs for this printer is stopped. Do you want to continue and restart the printing of jobs? If you select continue and the printing of jobs cannot be restarted, this job will automatically be added to the queue.”
I choose “Continue.” Print Center automatically launches and when I switch to it I see the progress bar, but then it says “Jobs Stopped.” (?) The file is added to the bottom of the list in the Printer window (by now a fairly long list).
If I click the “Start Jobs” icon, the same thing happens and the files remain in the list of files still to be printed.
I don't think it is a printer issue since the same thing happens when i try to “print” to Adobe Acrobat. I can create a PDF through the Mac’s “Save as PDF"button at the bottom of the print dialog, but not through Acrobat.
Why does printing keep stopping?

This is not unusual with some operating systems and depending on your printer.
Often, again depending on both mentioned above sometimes when spooling to the printer if you are low on ram it will take an extended period to read and transfer the data from the computer to the printer. and sometimes will stop the printing process alltogether.
The only way I have been able to correct this issue is to Unplug your printer for a minute or so and shut your computer off also.
After your wait plug your Printer back in and then restart your computer. This Resets your Printer and Resets your Computer as well.
Next you will need to empty your QUE and start all over and I would advise doing each print job one at a time,
The reason I say this is as I mentioned above, Low on Ram, If by chance Ram is not the issue I have found that downloading Open source drivers for your printer will sometimes do the trick but if you are short on ram the transfer rate probably can't handle the amount of data you are trying to print.

Printer keeps stopping jobs

I have an Epson Stylus CX4200. It keeps stopping all my jobs, even after I tell it to "start jobs". I have tried deleting the printer in my print menu (in system preferences) and then adding it again. I have also tried simply turning the printer off and on again, and I even replaced all of the ink cartridges. When I try to open the "help" menu in the print window, it says there is no help available for this printer. Yikes - what to do now? Please help.

Is the printer connected directly to your computer, or are you accessing it via a network?
With my Epson, I have problems printing from a laptop via the network at times. To fix it, I have to go to the desktop to which the printer is attached, open the printer (thru System Preferences), and clear the queue there (by deleting all the jobs). Then I tell the printer to restart (still on the desktop).
Be sure to also clear the queue on your laptop, and tell the printer to restart there.
Hope this helps --

Printer keeps stopping

My HP G85 OfficeJet works fine about half of the time. However, often print jobs are stopped and the only cure for the queue seems to be a reboot. Any idas?

hi,
What is the operating the system of the computer? Click here to download and install Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network and USB Connectivity and Improve System Responsiveness While Printing.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

hey try a smc reset
EDIT (smc reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.)
if that doesnt help look at replacing the batteries in your magic mouse and try it then
if the issue still presists take it into a apple store and they can test it there to see whats up

I rented a movie and it keeps stopping

i rented a movie off itunes and it keeps stopping every 30 min and takes for ever to play again, i have re launched my itunes many times but it wont help. how do i fix it?

Did you rent it directly from iTunes on your computer? Is it fully downloaded? Movies are big (>1GB, typically), so let it finish downloading, then watch it.

My printer keeps going off line with my network. have to set everything up every few minutes.

After getting my HP photosmart 5510 all in one printer setup on my wireless network and setup for eprint, 2 problems occurred. The printer keeps jumping off of the network, and I have to set everything back up again. Also, even with eprint still completely set up, none of the emails that I send are printing out???
Please Help

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

Stop a job from printing

Hope Experts how are you today?
One of our users created a job SD_203_Z_AUTO_DEL. Everytime this jobs runs it prints out. She would like to stop this job from printing. Is there anything in SM37 job overview that I need to change. If not in SM37 than were do I go. I see that SU01 under Spool Control OutputDevice is QU6, but if I change this than she won't be able to print anything. Sorry for the novice question. I don't spend alot of time in SAP these days........

Using transaction SM37, you can select the job from the list and select Job -> Change from the menu. Select the Step button, which will list the steps in the job. Select the step (program) that creates the output and select Step -> Change from the menu. There should be a Print Specifications button at the bottom of the screen. Select this button and then select the Properties button. Change the Time of Printing to 'Send to SAP spool' and save all of your entries.

Print spooler keeps stopping on Windows 7

I have an HP desktop computer running Windows 7 it has an HP photosmart Printer and an Kodak AIO 5500 attached to it and shared over the network. Everything is fine with the HP printer but every time I try to print to the Kodak the print spooler keeps
stopping. I have tried many of the work arounds I have found but nothing helps. Every time I try to print to the KOdak I have to wait until after I have made all the print option and then I have to start the spooler. The firmware and software is up to
date on the Kodak printer. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Clear Printer Spooler Files and Enable the Spooler Service
=================================
1. Click Start, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Search box and press Enter.
2. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Click Start, type "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" in the Start Search box and press Enter, delete all files in this folder.
5. Click Start, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Start Search box and press Enter.
6. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
7. Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
Does it work?
Regards,
Arthur Li - MSFT
Thanks Arthur. Your solution worked for me and I now have both my printers back in use. I am using Windows 7 and IE9. Suspect that clicking the Print button on an internet site yesterday when reserving an item for collection at the local outlet of
a national high street retailer may have caused the problem.

Printer spooler keeps stopping

Windows 8.1. I have checked the printer spooler service it is configured correctly as far as I can tell. Set to start automatically, restart on the first and second failure. The dependencies look ok.
I have tried to remove unwanted printers from 'Devices and printers'. They keep coming back after a reboot. Some of these are shared printers that no longer exist on the host machine. They all remove except one which stubbornly refuses to budge.
I try installing my new cannon printer, it starts the installation but then fails because the printer spooler service is not running.
- Processing cannot be continued because the Windows Print Spooler service has been stopped. Start the Print Spooler service and then try again.
I restart the printer spooler service and try again. Same problem.
I restart the machine. Same problem.
I have no idea why it keeps stopping. How do you get the service to log errors.
I have tried to use the Troubleshooting application. It states 'the printer spooler service is not running' and restarts it. One tries to reinstall the printer, same problem.
How does one fix this problem? Is there a tool to remove all printers and start again?

Every time I reboot I get the same printers in 'devices and printers' even though I have removed them. Also there is one printer that will not be removed. If I try and then hover the mouse cursor over the printer icon, the tool tips displayed are
"Remove failed"
"Driver does not exist"
Ok. I don't give a stuff about the missing driver, I just want to remove it. Why does a missing driver prevent me from removing a printer. I though that if the driver was missing it would indicate that the printer is inoperable and make removing it
even easier.
How on earth does one get around this embargo. How does one get rid of dud printers from the control panel applet?
I am sure that these remnant printers are causing the print spooler service to keep crashing.

Do you have auto drop enabled? Look for a red bar at the top where the green cycle bar is. It will punch you out at the end of the red bar.

Sounds like your phone has the jitters.
This is sometimes caused when a DLL fle is missing when you restore, so the ipsw pacakge wasn't installed corectly.
You could back up and restore, but if it doesn't help go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and then download the same firmware your on.
Open up iTunes and hold Shift+Restore and select that firmware, you can't use anoy ther firmwares though.
Hope this helped
