Canon printer wont print PDF and Word files... sometimes.

I face a very special problem with my iMac and my Canon printer (Pixma MG5350): Since a few weeks, the printer wont print most PDF files correctly, the same with existing Word files. A blank or blurred sheet is coming out of the machine. But: When I create a brand new Word file and fill it with text, the printer prints it clean and neat. The same with the official Canon test prints – no troubles at all. I have also tried to sort out the problem with the help from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147?viewlocale=de_DE, without success. Glad about every help!

My next suggestion would be to try an alternate driver to the Canon.
There is the Gutenprint v5.2.9 suite which is free and lists the MG5300 series as a supported model. You could download and install this driver suite and add the Gutenprint MG5300 driver and see if this gives you the same problem.

My printer wont print because I can't find the right password on (re)set-up. What should I do?

I"m running windows 8 (I think) and my printer wont print from my computer on the wireless function. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and updatuing but none of this seems to help. What should I do now.

Hi @mfk8
I am not sure I understand, what password are you looking for? Is the printer still on the wireless network? Perhaps the following document will be helpful; 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I am having a problem when my printer wont print what I tell it too. Please Help!

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer wont print after replacing black ink cartridge

Hello.
My HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer has been working correctly since a year.
I had to replace both ink cartridges and I changed only the black one since I needed that one most.
But, the lights keep flashing and the printer wont print. Please help?

Hi @RRGS,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 1515 printer will not print after replacing black ink cartridge, and your lights are still flashing. I am happy to help!
What lights are flashing on the printer?
In the meantime, please see this guide, Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 Printer Series.

Printer wont print. have new ink. trouble help say it ok but its not ok

I HAVE A HPPHOTO SMART C5180 ALL IN ONE PRINTER. IT JUST STOP PRINTING SO I CHECK THE INK REPLACE IT WITH NEW INK AN NOW IT JUST WONT PRINT I TROUBLE SHOOT IT AN IT SAY ITS OK BUT IT STILL DONT PRINT . I ALLSO REPLACE IT WITH NEW PAPER AN IT STILL DONT WORK

If resetting the que fails try deleting the printer and reinstalling (delete and allow your mac to find it again). This has worked for me in the past when I had trouble with the que.
If that fails you can search the HP website for a OS-X compatible driver for this printer model and try using that instead of the pre-installed driver selected by OS-X.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Printer wont print word documents

I have had my printer/scanner for nearly a year now, it seems to print anything except a word document. I have both word 13 and notebook on my system. It wont print from either program, I am wondering whether this printer comes with these programs in the softwear? If yes any ideas how to sort the problem?

Hello sasaone2one,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from Word.
Have you by chance checked to see if any updates are available for Word? Not having all the updates can cause the printer not to function on Word documents.
I also suggest that you try the following link for the HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware Update.
Feel free to write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.

SOLUTION: for printer wont print using black ink cartridge. ETC.

Black ink wont print in low resolution, you can't use high resolution if you selected plain paper. Choose "hp premium paper", even if you use cheap paper. Default Quality for this is "Best" but "Best" ONLY works IF you select a quality paper, such as "hp premium paper".
It's a software fault, there should be no option for plain paper for black only printing.
Hope this helps a few!
Andy

If HP Premium photo paper is selected the printer will print black using the color cartridges since pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper. The printer will print much more slowly in photo mode and will put more ink than is intended on the page.
If black is not printing when you print a nozzle pattern from the printer then likely there is an issue with the printhead or the ink delivery system between the ink supplies and the printhead.

I have a 6520 that says its connectedwirelessly but the printer wont print now

Hi,
I have a HP6520 that worked for about a day when I got it, then THe printer would become disconnected (from devices and printers ((turn gray)) what I had to do was turn the printer off, then back on, and i could get a few documents through (about 10mins) then it would stop working.
I thought I got wise and stopped my file sharing and quit my home network thinking there could be an open port or something that a hacker could get into.
The printer worked great for about 2 days, but now It says the printer is connected from the printer side (I printed the test sheet) and the greyed out icon in documents and printers is light up again. but I cant get the firmware update to find the printer, nad the printer quit printing
On the bright side, I got Docx files to print using my eprint.. go figure?

Hi Merdock,
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?
The share mode turned off can cause issues in Windows 8/8.1, such as you describe.

The printer wont print on photo paper why is that

The printer keeps printing on paper instead of photo paper

How are you sending the print job, and what file type are you trying to print? I know airprint and eprint base the paper type on what file type is printing. If its from a computer you will have to specify in the print settings what paper to use.

Printer wont print: "HP Smart Web Printing is not compatible with FF 37.0.1" Also, I can't fill forms with Robo Form

No details needed

I understand that the message gives that Firefox does not support the printer giving issues as well as Robo Form is not filling in forms for Firefox.
Please consider the troubleshooting steps suggested:
*[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
As for the addon/extension I can recommend trying Safe Mode to see if there is an issue with one of the add ons, or disable each of the extensions to troubleshoot what might be interacting with this feature.

HP 5180 printer wont print to photo tray - tiger software

For some reason the printer will not recognize that I am trying to print a photo (even when photo paper is selected in print menu in iphoto)
i uninstalled the software that came with the printer and reinstalled the software upgrade for tiger from the HP website but still no joy.
What could I be missing ? Is there a way of determining if I uninstalled all of the old software- could that be the issue ? , is there some other manual fix out there ?

This does actually get a little easier with iPhoto '08 and Leopard (but even there it's by no means easy). What you need to do in Tiger with iPhoto 6 is click the advanced button, then select the Paper Type/Quality item from the pop-up menu in the print dialog, then from Paper Source select Photo Tray. (Sorry, I don't have this setup anymore, so the wording may not be exact.)
Just trying to help.

Epson stylus printer wont print after mavericks update

MBP--Mid2012--I already removed and readded the printer, but it won't talk to it when the print job goes into queue. When I close and reopen the printer it tells me that there is updated software for this printer and if I'd like to install. When I click on install it starts finding the software and then it just stops. It's been doing this since yesterday (27Oct13). Still says that it needs software to complete the job in queue.

Thanks, but it was a bit more complicated: 1st, the Epson Folder is in Library in Printers (had to search a while), 2nd, after going through several cycles, I decided NOT to install the 2.1 update, then after deleting all printers and adding the 1400 again, and new starts, I eventually got there.
I am back into quality printing with about no margins, great — now back to work!
