Printer only prints after reboot

I have connected an HP printer to my iMac via USB but it will only print after I reboot the iMac. It used to work fine. Where should I begin looking for the solution?

Hi svs1234,
I've experienced this problem. Resetting the print system fixed the issue.
Open System Preferences, then select Print & Fax
Control-click or right-click in the Printers box on the left and select "Reset Printing System"
Click "OK"
Click the "+" button at the bottom to add your printer again.
Hopefully, you will be good to go.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 only prints after reboot of my iMac

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909a). Not wireless. After I reboot my iMac it'll print for a short period of time, thereafter it will not print or scan unless I reboot. Typical scenario is that I send something to print. After 40 minutes + nothing. I reboot and it starts to print after the chime but before I sign into my account.
Why is this happening? Can anyone help?
Scott

I installed the update from HP and haven't had any problems since!

HP Laserjet Pro 1525nw Only Prints After Reboot

Our office recently purchased the HP Laserjet Pro 1525nw, originally we installed it wirelessly but it would only print some of the time or from certain programs. So we added the USB cable and reinstalled the driver to reflect the change and it seemed to be working fine. But recently its stopped printing entirely unless we reboot the computer.
The computer is on a network and some of the files we print are on the network, which is one theory we've had as to why the computer might not be communicating with the printer. But this seems a little strange or like it shouldn't be happening.
Any ideas or similar experiences where someone may have found a solution would be appreciated.
Details:
Windows 7 Pro

Hello,
You indicated that the computer is on the network but the printer is connected locally, correct? You may be right in your theory in that the network documents were created with another printer installed. Just for testing purposes, grab one of those documents, copy and paste it into a new document and select the HP 1525nw printer as the destination printer. (file/print) As far as the wireless issue, depending on the document being printed, it may be the same issue. It's looking at a different printer.. I've also pasted a link below that may assist with some of your t-shooting steps. Good Luck!

Voicemails Only Display After Reboot

I've read about people having issues with delayed voicemail, but this is a little different.
I work in an area where I lose signal in certain parts of a building. If someone were to call me while I had no signal and leave a voicemail, I don't get the voicemail when I come back into coverage. The only way I can get the new voicemail notification is to reboot the phone. It's not that there is just a delay. If I don't reboot my phone for a day, it won't get the new VM until a day later.
I don't have any problems with delayed VM as long as I have signal.
I've tried resetting network settings, all settings, and even wiping the phone. Any ideas or is this just an iPhone OS issue?

USB external audio only works after reboot

I have a EMU 0202 USB soundcard in order to be able to hear sound in my late 2008 macbook (because the mini-jack from the headphones broke inside the laptop. but this is another story). The problem is that in order for the laptop to detect this soundcard I have to reboot OSX. If I disconnect the soundcard and connect it again, it won't be detected until I reboot my computer again. Thing is I'm tired of rebooting so often just to have sound. Do you have any idea on why is my Macbook only able to detect the soundcard when booting or how could I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

I see the latest driver is from 2008 (http://www.emu.com/support/files/download3.asp?Centric=1005&Platform=2&File=596), and is supporting Leopard. Perhaps the driver is not fully compliant with Snow Leopard...? Try uninstalling your driver, and installing the one mentioned, and if that does not work, try contacting EMU.
Kind regards:
Espen.

Touchpad only working after reboot

Hello everyone,
I have not so recently switched to Arch on my Lenovo Thinkpad Twist S230U. Everythink is working pretty good or I have at least solutions I can happily live with so far.
One issue that is bugging me is the fact, that after a complete shutdown and boot neither the touchpad nor the trackpoint are working. If I just do a quick reboot, everything works great.
Another thing I noticed is that on the boots where the touchpad does not work, when I type in my password, the first keypress is not recognized sometimes.
The system is up to date and I just did a bios update, as it occured to me, I haven't done that since the purchase of the laptop. This did not change anything.
I have put up with this problem for quite some time now and just ignored it because I mostly suspend my laptop and never have problems after resuming, always hoping I would be surprised by a working touchpad one day after a kernel update.

Passcode lock only works after reboot

After a reboot I am prompted for the passcode. After that I never get prompted again - even though passcode lock is set to on, This is happening after I had to restore my iPhone from 4 months ago due to the Beta IOS (that I had taken back in July) had expired, leaving me no other option.
Other than resetting to factory settings what else is there?

Sorry, my require passcode had been reset to 15 minutes. Problem resolved after changing to immediately.

External keyboard only works after reboot with Port Replicator III Plus

The problem is that when I boot the notebook, the external PS/2 keyboard doesn't work. When I reboot the keyboard flips on and then I can use it.
This problem occurs on a Toshiba Tecra notebook with a Advanced Port Replicator III Plus. I've used several keyboards, so that isn't the problem. I've changed a value in the bios which is used for USB devices (mouse/keyboard). I disabled the option, because I use a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, but the problem isn't solved. I hope someone has an answer to this problem.

Hello
I presume that there is something wrong with docking procedure and touchpad. Try to disable the Touchpad while the Notebook is docked.
Try also to install mobile extensions again.

Mail - Yahoo messages only sync after rebooting the program

Good day,
on my MBA, Yahoo works fine with Mail.
It checks for new mail every minute.........
B U T, whenever I move a mail to one of my folders in my Yahoo account or create / delete a folder in my Yahoo account, Mail doesn`t automatically catches up.
When I stop Mail and then re-start it however, all is syncronized as it should be.
Huh?
I tried the settings and pressed "Synchronize Yahoo" in the menu above.......but that doesn`t do the trick.
Is there a "synchronize" button?
What am I missing?
Cheers,

Anybody, please???

Printer goes offline after reboot (windows vista)

I'm running the latest version of bonjour for windows and vista is running the latest patches. Here's the problem: I can use bonjour to add my HP Laserjet with no problems and its prints perfectly. All is good until I need to restart the computer. After reboot, the printer is listed as offline and nothing I've tried can change the status. I can delete the printer and rerun bonjour and it works again until the next reboot. I don't know what changed but I use to be able to print all the time without this problem. Anyone have this problem or any solutions.
Thanks

Same problem with here, except I've got three computers: one Mac and two WinXP (SP3) pc's. The mac has no problems but both PC's see my Canon PIXMA ip1800 as offline after they reboot. A re-run of the Bonjour setup fixes the problem until the next reboot. I've got the printer connected to an Airport Extreme Gigabit N base station. All software and firmware (on everything) is up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

[SOLVED] Printer not working after reboots

I recently built my won desktop running Arch. Every thing works fine except for printer. Printer is Brother MFC-290c. It is a Multinational printer (i.e Scanner and printer together).
Once I configure the printer it works fine until the next reboot. After reboot printer user/group changes to root:scanner.
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/002
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 513 Jun 9 07:17 /dev/bus/usb/005/002
So after every reboot I need to do "lsusb" to look for Bus and Device ID for the printer and change its owner/group to root:lp. After this step is performed Printer works fine until next reboot.
$ lsusb

How can I make sure that whenever I plugin this printer its user and group is root:lp instead of root:scanner

SOLVED :D:D:D
Thanks Strike0. That was a push in right direction. After reading your reply, I decided to take a look at my udev rules. There was not one for my printer but there was one for the Scanner. I do not yet know how to read udev file, but sure enough it looked as if it was causing all problems . Renamed the rules file for the scanner to see if everything works fine in its absence. Rebooted, Printer and scanner are both working fine now.

Canon D420 only prints after print job is sent twice

My Canon D420 won't print when you send it a print job the first time. It only responds after you send the job a 2nd time. This is really annoying and I can't seem to find a fix or people with similar problems. The D420 is connected to the USB printer port on a wireless router. All the drivers are installed correclty. There is no problem with my network.

Hello horn34,
First, we apologize for any recent inconvenience with the website due to technical difficulties experienced.
With regard to your issue, I apologize for any confusion caused; the information previously reference would not apply if you are not attempting to print wirelessly.
There are a few possible causes of the issue which can be hardware or software-related. To help narrow the cause, please attempt to print with a direct USB cable connection between your laser product and a USB port on your computer. This will help to confirm if the hardware and port on your laser product are functioning properly, or if the issue remains. If successful in printing on the first attempt, the issue would relate to the connection or communication through the router.
If unsuccessful in printing with a direct connection, it is recommended to uninstall the current drivers, then download and install the latest drivers from the Canon website here. Click the "Driver/Software Details" for the selected driver to review the installation instructions. Note: Please disconnect the USB cable before reinstalling, then connect it after the installation is complete. Perform a direct connection test again for a status check.
For instructions on uninstalling the driver for your operating system, click here; then type in "uninstall driver" to retrieve the Article of the same name.
Should the issue remain, please feel free to Contact Us and we'll be glad to help.
