Printing to Default printer (it's wireless) goes to Queue in Printing Status but never prints.

My Photosmart D110a is connected wirelessly to my computer and I have it set as the Default printer running on Windows 7. It prints fine from local apps like Word. I've run the diagnostic utility and it is all good, all green check marks. When I try to print from the web (like a coupon, for example), it goes to the print queue but is stuck there in 'Printing' status. As I've been trying the troubleshooting steps, I've noticed that the Port is WSD and not an HP port. Is this part of the problem? Also, I used to have an HP Deskjet 5150 connected via USB and am wondering if it's getting confused by that somehow. Would like to remove all references to the Deskjet but I can't find a way to eliminate it.

What browser? Have you tried a different browser?

Hi frank at luray,
Does this issue occur with any file that you try to send, or do you find that it's specific to one file? If it's a file-specific error, and the file is large, please try sending the file via Adobe SendNow. (You can sign in to Adobe SendNow at Sign in or create an account | Adobe SendNow using the same credentials you use to sign in to Adobe Send.)
Please let us know how it goes.

Laserjet cm1312nfi mfp not printing, print job appears in que but never prints. How do i fix this?

It wont even print the test page. It is saying black ink low. 250 left. but im getting no other errors.

Printing a Configuration Report.Hi JoyD,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand the print job stays in the queue and won't print for hours later.
I will be happy to help you.
I would power cycle everything.
Turn the printer and computer off.
Disconnect the power cable on the router for 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable again.
Turn the computer on, then the printer.
Try printing again.
I would setup a static IP for the printer to see if this will resolve the issue.
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
Print a configuration page from the printer for this information needed. Select Method one.
Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Photosmart plus b209-a passes all diagnostics, sends files to printer- but never prints them

I have a photosmart plus b209-a set up on our wireless network. we love it when it works. But the problem is that even though it will pass all diagnostics- whether tools installed on the computer or using the online tests- it still won't print. I've gone through the network utilities and the printer diagnostics and they both say all clear, but both times when I tell it to print a test page nothing comes out.
I have opened the document que when sending files to the printer, and the file will pop up for about half a second then disappear, and it won't print. I have turned the printer on and off with no change.
Now the really confusing thing- this only happens about 60% of the time. As I write this post, I have been trying to print from my computer on the network without success. My wife just tried on her computer, and it is printing for her. Sometimes it's the other way around and mine will print and hers won't. It's not an ink thing or that my computer isn't on the network- as I've said the diagnostic utility shows the printer online and ready to use, it just won't print the thing.

good questions-
nothing between my computers and the router, they and the printer are about 15 feet from the router.
Neither computers are upgrades of vista- one is XP sp3, the other is win7 home.
All utilities ran say the signal strength is good, and both computers will sometimes print and sometimes not, then after a reboot of the printer it will be a new situation with each one- changes all the time.
Thanks for looking into this with me- I appreciate the help!

States eprint job has been received but never prints but will print my daily comics.

ok, my printer will not print my pics from my phone, but has before. I send the pic to the printer, my email states that the eprint has been received but the printer never comes through to print. I looked on the HP site and it stated that the eprint had failed, does not explain why and I cant contact anyone to ask for tech support. I have my printer set up to print my daily comics, that it has no problems printing. I have printed off several pics from my phone off this printer, however after the first few days the printer decided what it wanted to print. Some would come through and some wouldn't. Also I put in a memory card from a camera to print pics and it refuses to read it, any memory card. I have even tried the memory card from my phone in an adapter and it still will not read. Please if anyone knows how to correct these problems please help me!? Im really thinking about returning this printer. Thank you

I am trying to print from my iPad4. Printer is listed. It says I am connecting to my printer and it says " printing" but never prints. I can print from my ipad2 just fine using the same printer. Any suggestions?

I am trying to AirPrint from my iPad4. It says my printer is located and that it is connecting to printer and that it IS printing but it never does. I use the same printer with my Ipad2 without any problems. Any suggestions?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g printing - but never does

Printer Model:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910g
Operating System:
    MS Windows XP, Media Center Edition, V 2002, Service Pack 3
Connection Method:
    Wireless via AT&T U-Verse Residential Gateway
Problem Description:
    Network printer not printing after first print job prints. Printer display panel says
    'printing...' and laptop display for printer status says "Error - Printing" (HP Officejet
    Pro 8500 A910 (Network) - User Intervention   Required).
I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 for this printer when this situation has
    occured. It finds problem with Print queue - Print jobs are stuck in the print queue
    (list of files waiting to print). Click Fix to remove them, and then restart the print
    jobs. I click Fix and basically it tells me it is unable to clear the print queue, to turn
    the printer off and on again, restart the computer and re-run the diagnostic which
    then finds no issue with the printing.
    I am only able to print after turning the printer off and back on - and only one document
    or file successfully before reverting back to same behavior. This is not a solution as this
    is a printer used for small business.
    All functions worked just fine after initial install. Not sure when stopped working as it
    is used primarily during tax season. There have been no hardware changes to my setup
    since initial install.
    Fax: Printer receives fax but never prints (Now printing... displays on printer display until
    I turn printer off and back on.)

I am having a very similar issue with two HP 8500 printers. One has never worked properly. The other one was working perfectly for about a year until Friday. Now it does the same thing as the other one.
Both are on wireless networks. One is at home. One is at the office.
The one at the office has now decided to quit working.
On the front of the printer, it states that it's printing, at the same time my computer says User Intervention Required, but the job never prints and the print queue piles up. I have to turn the printer off and turn it back on. It cleans its printhead and goes through testing.
Then the restart process clears my print queue, so I have to resend whatever print jobs I was going to print.
The printer prints for a while, and at some point decides not to again.
I have tried various fixes including the ones suggested here.
I opened a command prompt. I typed "net stop spooler" and pressed enter.
My computer says "Access is denied"
So I move to the bypass the spooler option. I open the printer properties, and click on the 'Print directly to the printer' radio button. Apply and OK.
I sent a new print job. An error comes up on my screen "Unable to Communicate with Printer".
After that, I tried running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility again. I select my printer and click "Fix Printing"
The Utility tells me that everything Checks Out Okay with the Printer. I have it send a test page.
An error pops up on my computer "Unable to Communicate with the Printer".
I click on the Control Panel, Printers, and my printer. The box says "User Intervention Required - Offline".
I turn the printer off and back on and now I can print....at least for a little while.
Please help.

Officejet 6500 and word 2007 ctrl-p never prints just sits in the queue

just set up an officejet on a windows XP machine...and oddly, word 2007 won't print if i select file->print OR ctrl-P.
clciking the tiny printer icon to prit without a dialog box works fine.
but if i want just page one i can't do that from that click.
other applications seem to print fine.
when ctrl-P is plressed and ok selected on the following dialog box a print job appears in the printer queue and reads "spooling" but never comes out of the printer.
i altered the print queue to not spool and instead the job reads "printing" and never appears.
if i quit word with a job in the queue word gives me a warning that quitting word will cancel the printing jobs. and quitting word does just that, the jobs are removed from the queue.
...and just to be clear i can print fine if i click on the one click printing icon in the icon bar directly above the document and below the menu bar.
what's the fix for this?
thanks!

Well...the 'solution' I received from HP Support was to add a new printer (Deskjet 990C) and make it the default printer. Once I did that, all printing issues went away. The tech person did say there were some compatability issues between the Officejet 6500 printer and Vista, but would not elaborate.

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

Printer wakes up but never completes print job

Upgraded to Maverick, followed by heaps of problem, scanner doesn't work...great difficulty in getting printer to work in virtual machine. Decided to roll back to earlier OS and reinstalled my fuji zero docuprint cm205 f. Can see the printer listed, and when print job sent to printer, it wakes up but never print. Can anyone help? Thanks

Considering you did not state what version of OS X you insgtalled it's a little tough to help you out. I'd start by using the Reset Printing System feature

Printer will no longer connect to wireless router.

My printer won't connect to my router.....I disconnected a Vonage phone from my router, never touched the printer, but since disconnecting the phone, the printer no longer works....I've shut my cable box, router, computer and printer down and re-connected in that order....I've attempted multiple times to connect to the WPS from the printer both by pushbutton and PIN....and I've been unable to find anything on line to help with troubleshooting...any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @MKhelp
Thank you for reaching out to the HP Forums, I'd be happy to help you work towards getting your 3054 back online.
I can help you put the printer on your wireless network without software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
Connect to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3054 and then part of the MAC address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.
You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.
The blue wireless light will go solid, put the Mac back on your own network.
Add the printer to the System Preferences.

4502 connects to wireless router but will not load as printer to Dell 1545 Vista x64 wireless

HP 4502 shows and active wireless connection to router and router shows 4502 is connected and has MAC pass-thru. HP software install on Dell 1545 computer under Vista x64 was fine until the connect wireless choice was selected. Result was printer was not loaded. Dell does not have bluetooth board so couldn't use wireless direct option on printer. Printer worked well wireless at one time but when internet connection to AOL was lost something went astray. Printing test page wireless while in HP printer control software on computer works fine but that is rather boring after a while, and very frustrating trying to understand why thats' possible when printer does not show as available for connection from any other program. Have uninstalled HP software, cleaned registry, set printer to factory default, powered down and unplugged all, reinstalled from scratch twice with same result. ANy suggestions?

Hi Sam_lost,
Thank you for your response! I have a few more solutions for you:
Please try going through this guide, An 'Unable to find printer' Error Displays for the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Adva....
Try this Microsoft Fix It program. Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled.
If those steps do not work then try the following:
Backup your files. Back up your files.
Re-install Windows Vista. Installing and reinstalling Windows.
Hope this helps, and have a good day!

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.
So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

HP Printer can no longer be found wirelessly by Mac and iOS devices?

I have an HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw printer which has been successfully connected wirelessly for quite some time. I recently replaced an older Time Capsule (flat square) with one of the new tower-looking Time Capsules, and the same replacement for an Airport Express I use as an access point. Again this is all the same setup as previously.
The issue is none of the devices can find the printer wirelessly anymore, despite the fact that the printer reports it's on the network and operating fine, and I can see the printer in the Printers & Scanners/Add window. I have attempted downloading and reinstalling the software from HP, deleting old printers in the Preferences panel and reinstalling from there, and nothing has worked. If I try to re-add the printer using the Bonjour Multifunction entry and AirPrint as the driver, it gets as far as the "Setting up the device" progress dialog and then fails with an error that reads: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time."
I have tried setting up an IP reservation for the printer and using the IP setup in the Add window (instead of the default); with and without the HP Jetdirect protocol; using the AirPrint driver and the selected HP series driver -- no success with any choice.
So far my only workaround is connecting it by USB to the nearest Mac and sharing it on the network using Printer Sharing. This is not the ideal solution, of course, since it means my iOS devices still can't find it and the Mac needs to be turned on 24/7 to share out the printer. I bought this printer originally specifically for its AirPrint capability so I could print to it from iPads and iPhones as well as my Macs. Currently I can't print from any iOS devices so it's rather painful.
Any suggestions to get this fixed will be much appreciated

Reset the TC to factory and start again..
New names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgen5 base station name.
I also strongly recommend using different names for the bands when things go wrong. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
Use WPA2 personal security with a short pure alphanumeric password.. (short meaning 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers)
Redo the setup of the Express based on the new setup.
Redo the connection of the printer to the wireless network.
Test the printer by pinging it from the computer.
Delete all drivers in the computer for the printer.. and start over.
That generally will get it running.
If not use the old TC as a wireless AP for printer connection .. by doing extend wireless with it and placing it near the printer.

Printing to Default printer (it's wireless) goes to Queue in Printing Status but never prints.
