Printer shows up, but adding printer freezes

Hi,
My iMac stopped printing to HP Color LaserJet 2600 a few weeks ago. I deleted the printer, tried to re-add it, and kept getting frozen. This past week the same problem occurred with my 12" Powerbook. Both have OSX 10.4.11. I saw similar posts reporting problems printing to the HP Color Laserjets recently, but none about not being able to add the printer. It's showing up in the list as bonjour, like it should (it's plugged into airport extreme).
Please help!!

Two things to try (do them separately so you can tell what fixes it):
Reset Printing System - a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.
power cycle the printer (Extreme, too while you're at it) - turn off/unplug for a minute, and then re-plug.

    Hey there @pepsitruck
    I understand you cannot print from your desktop however, you can print from your laptop.
    Could you please run the Print and Scan Doctor again and let me know the results or post a screen image of the results?
    This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
    You can also try manually stopping and restarting the print spooler and try printing from Notepad afterwards.
    1. Click Start
    2. Type "Services" in the search field.
    3. Open SERVICES
    4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"
    5. Search for Print Spooler
    6. Right-click it and choose Properties
    7. Select as Automatic in the drop down box, close the Window
    8. Right click on Print Spooler and choose "Stop", wait until it stops and then right click again and "Start".
    9. Close out of Services and try your print again.
    When you get to your response, please include which version of Windows you're running please.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?

  • Printer Share says that my printing is complete, but nothing printed.

    I am trying to print from an Android Razr to my 8600 Officejet using PrinterShare.  The phone says the printing is completed, but nothing printed.  I am also having a problem getting my phone Wi-Fi to communicate with my printer.

    Hi there, if you are having trouble getting your phone and printer to communicate that may explain why nothing is coming out of the prettier. I'm not familiar enough with the service you are using (Printer Share) but what might be happening is that your job request is being received but is not able to be delivered to the printer for completion.
    Can you print wirelessly to your printer from another device e.g. a laptop? Does the printer lose connection to your wireless network intermittently? The more information you can provide the more likely you are to get a solution from the Forum users. Your printer is ePrint enabled and you should be able to print to it from your Android device using HP's free ePrint Home & Biz Mobile Print app. You could try installing that on your phone and see if that solution works for you. Provided you register the phone t the ePrint service once you've installed the app you'll be able to send content to the printers email address fro printing from anywhere in the world provided the printer and the phone are connected to the internet, but not necessarily connected with each other on the same WiFi network.
    Try and rule out any fundamental problems with your printers wireless connectivity and take it from there. Post back if you're running into problems and need suggestions.
    Best of luck.

  • HP 5530 wireless printer shows offline but it is turned on, I use a router

    My printer shows to be offline, sometimes it prints pages at random, which I have no idea why or what they are about, kinda scary, It is turned on and the wirelss light is not blinking, but shows offline when i try to prine from my laptop.Its a HP 5530 all in one,windows 8

    Hello @tiogalady,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the 'offline' issues that you're experiencing when trying to print from your Windows 8 computer to your wirelessly connected HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer. Now, recently Microsoft has released a Hotfix for the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems to 'fix' offline printing issues as Microsoft recognizes this as an issue with their latest Operating System. Therefore, to start, I am going to have you run the Hotfix to see if this resolves the printing issues.
    Can I please have you click here to access the Hotfix page. Once the website opens select the 'Hotfix Download Available' button. Allow the Hotfix to run. Please follow any onscreen steps to install the Hotfix.
    Once the fix has completed, please test printing again. Should the Offline issue persist there is an additional driver fix that I may need to walk you through. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Multiple copies of the same printer showing up in the print pull down menu...

    Hi... I just recently installed an Epson XP-410 wireless printer so that we could print from our iPads and iPhones.  I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask the question(s) in or not, but here goes...
    1. There are multiple copies of the printer showing up in the drop down print menu when I go to select the printer.  How do I know which is the correct printer to choose, or does it matter?
    2. Can I get rid of the un-needed multiples?  If so, how?
    3. Also, I have been having an issue with printing to it when I switch between programs.  When I tried printing to it from a simple text editor, it came up and said that there was a communications issue.  I used to have a Brother network printer connected via Ethernet, and had no issues printing from any of my computers, but I couldn't print from the iPad with the Brother.  So, we bought the Epson.  Anyway, I had to restart the computer to re-establish the link between my computer and the printer.  Didn't think I should have to do this since it is a network (wireless) printer.  Any thoughts on that?
    For a little more information, our main computer is an iMac (20-inch) running OS 10.7.
    Thank you,
    Jim

    Have you tried to force quit iBooks?

Flick the preview window up and off the screen. Then single tap on the home page preview, or on the home button to exit the mode then try to open iBooks again

  • HP DJ1510 AIO Printer-CAN SCAN BUT NOT PRINT

    I installed SW & HW as per HP instructions on my comp (WinXP-SP2). Scanning worked but cannot print as the printer driver (which may be missing or faulty on the CD and also in installation files downloaded from HP web site) does not get installed.
    HP, India has not come up with any solution to this issue despite my spending many hours with them since 20/9/14.
    HP needs to give me a patch for installing printer driver in my OS, which should not be difficult for a company like HP.
    I am now frustrated with this HP product & its service. All promises but nofollow up or even phones are not picked up
    Who will help me or should I throw away this HP printer.
    BM Shah

    Hi @bmsprinter,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Deskjet 1510 can scan but not print with Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I am happy to help!  
    According to your printer's specifications, found at this website, HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications. This printer is only supported on Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and above. You can select System requirements, and then Windows system requirements, once you have visited that website.
    Also, please take a look at this reply, Re: cannot find priner, by my colleague @Jamieson, from your older post, that will help you upgrade your Windows XP Service Pack. 
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a wonderful day!

  • Printing a Word 2013 file to a PDF, which prints the PDF, but when printing the gereated PDF to a laser printer an error occurs: Error: invalidfont Offending Command: show Stack: (  )

    I was wondering if any else has had an problem with error codes printing PDF that has been generated from Word 2013 to Acrobat Xi Pro. I have converted fonts from local install to common fonts - Arial, and the same error occurs.
    Help!

    Thank you Bill,
    you maybe right, there seems to be a localised issue as the PDF that has been created from Word 2013 can be printed, on the same printer I am using, by other members on the server with different versions of PDF.
    Still stuck though.

  • Why doesn't the HP printer show up in the printer setup utility?

    Can't understand why the HP2100 TN laserjet printer that is networked(ethernet) via a Snow basestation does not automatically show up in my list of printers. I also downloaded HP's drivers for it.
    My boyfriend's Powerbook running 10.3 is able to automatically see it, and it showed up as "shared" on my computer when his laptop is up and running. I tried Appletalk etc. He got it running using IP printing and having the IP address, but he told me it should have just showed up.
    I'm new to the Mac so I don't understand this. According to the config page he printed Appletalk is active on the printer its selected on my networking page.
    Any help apprciated.

  • HP Premium "air printer" is not printing from iPad, but iPhone printing is fine

    Greetings
    I have the problem that no printouts are showing at my HP premium if printed from iPad. The iPad can see the printer, box is saying that the print is getting prepared and then sent to the printer, but it never arrives. Printerque stays empty. Printing from my MacBook via Wi-Fi is working fine as well as printing from my iPhone.
    iPad 2 with iOS7, iPhone5 IoS 7, HP premium photosmart C410, MacBook Pro with Mavericks, New Air Timecapsule a/c and n wireless.
    Things I tried without success:
    - Use printer wired (to Timecapsule) as well as wireless
    - Reset Printer to Manufacturer default
    - Turn off iPad, turn off Printer, Turn off Air Timecapsule

    Did you change the wifi setting on your iPad to match the printer?

  • Can't print with PC but can print with Mac!?

    Please save me from going crazy!
    I'm trying to turn my USB printer into wireless and have tried EVERYTHING and put in HOURS of work with all different types of print servers, devices, etc.
    I bought an Airport Express and loaded Bonjour into my Windows 8 machine. It detects my printer, connects to my Express but simply doesn't print! I've tried EVERYTHING with editing my ports, changing it to LPR instead of RAW, etc. but with no sucess. When I connected my MacBook to my Express, IT PRINTS with no problems!!!
    I can't for the life of me figure it out and my Windows machine needs to be able to print as I'm using it for work.
    Any suggestions, tips, clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Apple Care and bringing it into a store gets me nowhere. Please help! I will pay someone $50 dollars via PayPal as your reward for helping me figure this mind boggling problem out!
    Thank you!!!

    USB printers are a pain.. it might not work at all from windows.. that is just the reality.
    USB printers are local printers that plug into your computer.. save your $50.. and the cost of the next couple of sets of ink cartridges or toners and go and buy a network printer. ie one that is designed to work in a network.
    If you want to pursue this..
    1. How did you name the Express.. and its wireless?
    Names should all be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. What printer is it? If you plug it in via USB to the computer does it work?
    3. Once you have it working plugged into the computer change it to print to IP of the airport express and see if that works.
    You can do this without bonjour..
    See this video for example of setting up printing to Extreme (same thing) by printing directly to the TCP/IP port.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTN1g846dRE
    It is windows 7 but 8 should be much harder .. naturally MS took away the easy access to everything .. but it is still there for the most part.

  • Printer has ink but it prints blank pages

    I have not used my printer in like 2-3 years. When I stopped using it it worked fine. Do i need to go out and buy more ink. According to my computer it is still half way full.. Not sure what to do.. 
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi @debifrutos,
    It is entirely possible the ink has dried about around the nozzles and is causing these blank pages. Since you have not used the printer in 2-3 years, there has been no movement, and the ink may have settled.
    Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue before going out and replacing the cartridges; Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 1050, 1050A, 2050, and 2050A All-in-One Printer Ser....
    I hope this helps. If the issue persists, you are welcome to call phone support. perhaps they have something further to suggest. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    Best of luck!
