Printer won't print using windows 7 X64

I am running a dual boot of windows xp 32 and windows 7 X64. I can print fine in windows xp, but when I first run the drivers for windows 7 X64, and tried to print a manual, it would only print 6 pages out of 48, then i won't reconize the printer at all. It says something about the spool. But when I go back to xp, it works fine. It is a laserjet 1018

Hi Bbe5,
I found this link to Microsoft on how to troubleshoot the print spooler. It looks like a lot of people were helped by this solution.

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

Can't print to HP 6500 e709a printer using Windows 8.1 from new HP Pavillion Laptop..

Can't print to HP 6500 e709a printer using Windows 8.1 from new HP Pavillion Laptop..have installed/reinstalled/deleted all-in-one etc tc 20 times HP Solution keeps snding me to download all-in-1 software.

Welcome to the HP Community , I read about how you cannot print to your Officejet 6500 e709a printer from your Windows 8.1 system, and I hope to help you! I am curious to find out that if there are any error codes or messages that occur when you run the installation for the printers driver and software. Please try the installation first by running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. If you see any errors, report them back to me and I will take a look at them. Please also run the Print and Scan Doctor. 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. Let me know what the results say. They will tell you if they fix a component, there is a critical error (red x will appear), or will show green check marks if everything checks out fine. You can run the tool twice and choose "fix scanning", and then "fix printing" on the second round, or vise versa. I hope to hear from you!Show thanks for my reply to help you today by hitting the "thumbs up" icon below!

Cannot print from firefox using windows 7 x64 pro

I cannot print using Firefox 3.6.3. I have a canon mx340 printer and am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I can print from files, email (Outlook), IE and everything else. I downloaded newest print drivers. I reset printer in Firefox using "about:config" That fixes it temporary, but after a little bit of time it stops printing again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

Acrobat 8 Pro - partial printing under Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

Hi,
I've recently installed Acrobat 8 Professional as part of the CS3 Master Collection on a PC running Windows 7 x64.
Now, I'd read up about this in advance and found the dll file adobepdf.dll_64 prior to installation, but I was never asked for it. The installation ran to a successful conclusion without ever prompting me for the missing file. After installation I compared the installed file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64\AdobePDF.dll with the .dll_64 version I'd extracted and they were identical.
Initially, everything seemed to be working fine, I was mostly using Acrobat as a reader, but I was occasionally generating small PDF files - no more than half-a-dozen pages - through applications like MS Word. This worked - and still works - fine, but I've noticed a problem now I've come to start exporting much larger files to PDF.
If I print a long report from MS Access to the Adobe PDF "printer", then the standard "Printing..." box pops up as does a dialog box for me to enter the name of the resulting PDF file. At this point the Distiller window (with the title "Creating Adobe PDF") opens and both the printer dialog in MS Access and the Distiller window start counting through the pages as they always do. However, without fail, usually at somewhere between around 50 and 90 pages (but it varies each time I print, even if re-printing the exact same thing) the Distiller window stops counting pages and just stalls. The application's printer dialog carries on working its way through the pages until it gets to the end of what it's supposed to be printing. Eventually the Distiller window closes and the log file opens up automatically in Notepad. Aside from the exact page number at which it stops, the contents of the file is always the same. For example:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
. <snipped>
%%[Page: 84]%%
%%[Page: 85]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The same kind of thing happens in InDesign (the only other application I could think of quickly where I had a document with a large number of pages which I could try to output) and that fails in a similar way whether I print the document to the Acrobat printer or Export it to PDF format.
However, the problem doesn't seem to be application related, instead there seems to be a cut-off point at around 30 pages. If I print (or export) to PDF something of no more than 30 pages (or I restrict the printing of something longer so that it outputs 30 pages or fewer) then the PDF file is nearly always generated OK. If I go up to about 50 pages, most of the time it all appears to work OK but no file is produced. And more than 50 then the Distiller window stalling thing occurs.
I've updated all the applications in CS3 to the latest versions, so Acrobat Professional is now on version 8.2.3.
I know there are issues running Acrobat Professional 8 under Windows 7 x64, but I've not read of this specific problem in relation to that, so I wondered if that might be a red herring and there is a solution to this.
Thanks.

Just for the record, in case anyone else comes looking for a solution to the same problem, the issue appears to be with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. By setting a check mark against most of the exclusions in the Kaspersky application control for Acrobat Distiller everything now seems to be working OK.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my original posting.

I want to be able to print using windows remote desktop services what printers can i use?

Hi I want to use Windows Remote Desktop Services on my iMAC.
I understand some printers work but some dont when printing from the VDI client.
Can anyone give me a list of printers that will work with the VDI client or some work arounds so that I can print using my iMAC and that print jobs can be parsed through the VDI clien to my iMAC and then printed through the iMACs connection to the printer
Thankyou

ARD won't be as smooth as you think over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.

Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

HP LaserJet P1006
Windows 7 64-bit
No error message
No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
- printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
- when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
- but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
- and no page is being printed
- the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
Can anyone help me with this?

HI,
Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One. Worked for me. Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks. Hope it works for you.
Good luck!

Lightroom x64 V2 & 3 fail to print in Windows 7 x64

In Lightroom x64 v2.7 on Windows 7 x64 when printing, Lightroom hangs and seems to loop forever. Sometimes locking up the system requiring a power off reset.
Lightroom 2.7 x86 on Windows x64 prints without a problem.
Lightroom 3 x64 (Trial mode) prints, but does not actually print the image. It does print the stroked border/background and identity plate, but no image. Just a very nice white page with the identity plate.The Beta version printed perfectly.
Is there a fix for Windows 7 x64 and Lightroom x64?
Or is the blank image printing a restriction in the trial copy?
Carl

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Trying to print from Windows 7 x64 over network to XP machine with attached HP Deskjet 990cxi

My laptop has Windows 7 (x64 bit) and I'm trying to print to an HP 990cxi attached to an XP x86 machine. The driver for Windows 7 is apparently at Windows Update but how do I trigger the download without physically connected the printer to the laptop?
Dave.

OK, OK. Honestly, I am not very good with printer sharing, especially across OS's, but I'll give it a shot.
First, just to be clear, the printer is attached to an XP machine via USB and you are trying to print to it via a router, right?
Let's try the straightforward approach:
1. Enable the Guest Account on the XP machine.
2. On the Mac, go to System Prefs > Print & Fax, click the '+' sign to add a printer and then click the Windows icon at the top.
3. Navigate to the XP machine, you may have to login to it.
4. Choose the proper driver from the pull-down. If it does not exist, choose a Gutenprint driver.
Again, I am not very experienced with this - let me know how it goes.

Unable to use Acrobat 8 as printer in windows 7 x64

I recently upgrade from windows vista to 7. Then I download all the Adobe patches up to 8.1.7. Now, I cannot use PDF as printer when I am on a website or in other programs such as QB.

You may be able to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer (it is a PS printer). Then you can either try to locate the file in a watch folder for Distiller to watch or simply open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. I have not heard back from users with AA8 about how well this will work, but it is probably the only way you are going to be successful. The use of the watched folder is probably as automatic as the process can be done with AA8. I do not have Win 7 and can not test the options out. If you get something to work, please report back with the AA version (AA 8.1.7) and what works and does not work. It will be useful for trying to help others.

Using Windows 7 x64. Firefox 3.6 works but won't open any windows. Only can see the windows in the toolbar to know that the software is working. tried reinstalls, and different loading spots in the computer, all to no avail. Have given up.

I also returned computer to earlier setting, to no avail. Safe boot didn't work either.
addition problem with Mozilla is that it would often take many reloads to get a site to open.

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
message (probably the same one mentioned above).

No color printing from Windows 7 x64 PC to a Color LaserJet 4650dtn.

Switching from Win7 x32 to x64 using the IP connect for the Color LaserJet 4650dtn. The universal print driver (5.3) allows setting up the printer in devices, but will only print in b/w. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Larry

Hi,
I think you have to install other drivers (3 of them) too.

Scanning with an HP 3390 all-in one laser jet printer using Windows 7 pro (64 bit)

I have recently acquired a Dell Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) OS computer and was wanting to use my HP all-in-one laser jet 3390 printer and scanner. The printer software which came with my HP 3390 will work with my Wind 7 Pro OS computer, however my HP 3390 scanner function will not work using this HP driver software, with my Win 7 Pro OS. I am trying to locate the appropriate HP scanner and/or different printer drivers that will support both the printer AND scanner functions of my HP 3390 printer/scanner, while using my Windows 7 Pro OS computer. Within the HP website, I have not been able to find this type of driver software or support, as least listed as such? I was wondering, if there are maybe no dedicated or described scanner drivers for my situation, is there even another set of drivers which might be intended for other Window 7 Pro OS based computers and other HP printer/scanners, which would work for my situation as well? Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue via HP driver software or by another method...maybe even 3rd party? Ther has to be a solution?

I Work for HP

Have HP 4580 all in one and it worked excellent before Lion. Could print using Windows on desktop and using Macbook Pro.

Before upgrading to Lion on my MacBook Pro I could print on the HP C4580 All in One using HP Desktop with Windows 7 and using MacBook Pro with no problems. I upgraded to Lion now can only print when I shut down and restart my MacBook. If using the desktop or the Microsoft Office on my MacBook it kicks the printer offline and I have to restart my laptop. I called Apple and they said they did not support 3rd party software. I had previously purchased the printer through Apple with a desktop. I installed the new driver from HP and removed it, reinstalled. Guess what, same problem. Can anyone tell me how to make lion work. Apple will not provide help. Have a iPad and with a small app for $7.00 it prints great. HELP

You must work for Apple. Contacted the vendor downloaded their app. Everytime I open Microsoft Office for Mac it kicks printer off line and if I print from a Windows computer (which printer works perfect) it kicks printer off line. If I restart Mac it will print the item in the printer. Don't care what Apple says, prior to loading Lion never had any problems. Sounds as if Apple programers goofed up and just don't want to admit it and correct their problem. Your comments did not solve any problems, asking for help not Apple support.
