Printing from computer

i am printing a file from asamsung laptop to a hp1050a printer.
the printer keeps old material which seems to be stuck in the memory.

Hello gbennett,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
It would seem you are trying to print with the Deskjet 1050a, however there seems to be old jobs blocking the new ones. What Operating System is install on the computer, Windows or Mac?
If Windows, try running the HP Print and Scan Dr, this will troubleshoot and resolve issue with the driver, software, etc. Let me know what the results are, if you are able to run it.
Cheers,

My hp wireless printer prints from computer

my hp wireless printer prints from computer, but not ipad or i phone. officejet 7500a no wires hooked up. wireless is working. router works and network works. please help

I assume you have enabled Web Services from the front of the printer?
First, try restarting your router by pulling its power plug momentarily.
If that does not work, let's set a static IP address & external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

HP Envy 4500 won't print from computer

Hi,
My HP Envy 4500 has been working perfectly for quite some time now. Unfortunately, it has stopped printing from my Dell laptop, running Windows7. It scans to the laptop just fine. It copies fine, and it prints from my iPhone fine.
I have looked at a ton of posts and tried many things:
*uninstall/reinstall wirelessly (at least 8 times) -- via the https://123.hpconnected.com/activate/woobe/ENVY4500 site
*uninstall/reinstall via USB
*ran print/scan doctor utility (or whatever it is called) and been told everything looks fine
*sending a test page via one of HP's tool is fine, however, printing the internal test page via the HP tool fails
I am losing my mind and would really appreciate some help.
Thank you!

Hello @JNZM,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the issue that you're experiencing when trying to print from your Windows 7 computer to your HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer. Thank you for including all of the troubleshooting steps you have completed prior to reaching out for support. At this time I will be running you through some troubleshooting steps to check the actual print system on your computer. The Print Spooler is what controls printing from Windows computers. It is built into the Operating System. If the Print Spooler is experiencing issues than you will experience printing conflicts. Should the Print Spooler be experiencing a conflict, the software and scanning feature for the printer will not be affected. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Step 1: Check Print Spooler:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start type services.msc and hit enter on your keyboard
When the Services window opens scroll down until you see Print Spooler
Click on Print Spooler once just to highlight it
If you see Start in the top left hand corner than that indicates that your Print Spooler is in fact Stopped (not good). But we will leave this for now.
If you see Stop or Restart in the top left hand corner than this indicates that your Print Spooler is actually Started. Please click on Stop to temporarily Stop the service.
Minimize this window as we will need to come back here
Step 2: Check Spooler Folder:
Click on your Start menu
Select Computer
In the Computer window select your C Drive
Click on Windows
Click System32
Click Spool
Click PRINTERS. You may get a permissions warning, just Continue past this.
The PRINTERS folder should be empty. If there is any files in here they are corrupted print jobs. Right click on anything in this folder and 'delete' the files.
Close the PRINTERS folder
Step 3: Start Spooler:
Reopen the Services window we previously minimized
Click on Print Spooler again to highlight it
Click on Start in the top left corner
If you get an error message please take note of it
If the Print Spooler starts successfully you will see 'Stop and Restart' as your options in the top left
Once the Print Spooler has started please test printing again. If printing fails, or if the Print Spooler fails to start, please proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Run Microsoft Fixit:
I'm going to have you run a Microsoft Print Fixit Tool to identify and correct any print system issues or Registry corruptions on the computer.
Please click here to access the Microsoft Fixit website
Once the page opens under section (2) select Print, fax, scan, share or save.
Under section (3) select Run Now for Diagnose and fix printer and printing problems automatically
Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen instructions to run the Microsoft Tool
Once the Fix has run, please test printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. You can also say 'thanks' for responding by clicking the 'thumbs up' icon below. I look forward to hearing from you!

Vertical lines, like a bar code, only when scanning or copying. Printing from computer is OK

I get vertical lines , in black & white & color, when scanning or copying.
When I print from my computer, all is OK.
The lines resemble a full page bar code. I have done a cold reboot & run the HP trouble shooter, all to no avail.
I do not see a bright light during scan or copy. Could the problem be a burnt out bulb?

Hi @TAEZZAR
It certainly could be a the scanner bulb. Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in.
Also, please click the link below to ensure the printer has the latest firmware update. This firmware update can improve printer performance and fix miscellaneous defects.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware ( 8600 e-All-in-One Printer) << For anybody else viewing this thread who may not have the Plus pr Premium model.

Printer will not print from computer, but will make copies.

My Photosmart C4280 All-in-One was working fine and suddenly it will not print from my computer. After trying Diagnostic Utility 4.1 the message appeared that it has "encountered a problem and needs to close." Also, a message appeared that it is "offline." Can anyone help to get it back online? I desperately need this printer in working order.

What operating system? How is the printer connected?

Hp printer 6210 all in one won't print from computer

My HP6210 all in one printer will not print from a computer that has Vista. My operating system is Windows. The printer worked fine with my old laptop which did not have Vista. However, soon as I connected my daughther's computer, which has Vista, it will not print. My computer no longer works so I need to use hers. What can I do to get it to work? Thank you,Beeky27

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Officejet 6210 will not print from your Windows Vista computer. I am happy to look into this for you! First, I would make sure that the full feature software and drivers are installed, by downloading it from this link: HP Full Feature Software and Drivers. Then I would run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, to make sure everything is working. We will start with these steps and go from there! Hope this helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Cant send prints from computer to printer.

Printer: HP Officejet Pro 8600 plus
Operating system: Mac OS X, version 10.6.8
Installed printer and software.
Ran connectivity test, passed with flying colors.
Printer printed the head alignment test page no problem.
But when I print something from the computer to the printer, I get the following error
message in the printer queue:
/Library/Printers/hp/cups/Inkjet3.driver/Contents/MacOS/Inkjet3 failed
What does thiss message mean and what do I do about it.

If you are using Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 -10.8 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

Hello dfreed,
You can try some simple steps:
Power your printer off.
Unplug your router, and your modem.
Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
Power your printer on.
Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Problem with HP Officejet J5750 not printing from computer

New black ink cartridge will not print from computer or glass.

Able to print from word documents, e-mails. But cannot print off from glass copy face or internet web sites.

To reset the printer, follow these steps:
While the power is on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then connect the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn the unit on. That will complete a power reset.
Now, missing black during printing can be a result of a couple of things. If it is only missing say when printing from Word, then the print settings within Word are set to grayscale only (or something similar) which would exclude the black cartridge. If it is from all programs, then it is either the main print settings set to grayscale only, or the printhead/cartridge is clogged up/dirty. If it is not the print settings, then create a print quality report and follow the steps in this document:

Why do 4x6 photos not print from computer on 7520 HP printer

In settings I changed it to 4x6 photo paper and set it at that default. Then when I want to print from the 4x6 tray it tells me the tray is empty meaning the 8x11 tray is empty, which should be empty. It should switch to the 4x6 tray but it does not do that so therefore I can not print 4x6 photos. What else can I do? Am I missing something?

I found the answer to my own problem. Leave the paper in the bottom tray as well when one puts photo paper in the 4x6 tray. That is the reason it tells me my tray is empty when in fact the bottom 8x11 tray should have paper in it as well. Only the Settings need to be changed for 4x6 photo paper and then change it back to the 8x11 to letter paper.

W7 ult. HP 6500APLUS Aio says it's online and still won't print from computer

The printer says it's connected to network with num. address and full bars. Still it refuses to print anything I send from the printer. It worked excellent with no trouble installation, or during the last 9 mos. and then it decided, for no appartent reason, to just simply not work. I have installed, reinstalled, deleted and installed, deleted and reinstalled over 15 times. I have downloaded and used the diagnostic tools and dr. even more times, yet everytime I press the network button and go through the routine, it says "Connected to wi-fi" BUT when I send a doc to be printed, nothing shows in the what's printing dialogue and nothing gets printed.
The pc is directly connected to the router; nothing's changed. My MAC "sees" the printer and prints so I have to go all through the steps on it to get to the page I want printed . This is awful. What happened to HP? You used to be the best in the business and the last 3 lousy printers I've had to junk because they refuse to print. Help me, please.

Hello doenCS,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have your HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected to your wireless network, however when you attempt to print nothing happens, you do not see it go into the print queue and it never prints. I see you have done alot of troubleshooting already, I would like you to continue below I know you have done many uninstalls please try this approach :
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Uninstall the software again - Uninstall the Printer Software Instructions
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
