Printing to HP LaserJet P1006

I am having terrible trouble getting prints to run, they all get hung in the print que, and printing never happens....if I click on Resume Printing" an error dialog pops up..something like "client request not possible" I just have to delete the jobs.
I am trying to install a Samsung ML series printer later to see if it communicates any better.

Well, I can't say I fixed my own problem and I still don't know why the HP P1006 stalled on me, but I connected the Samsung ML-2010 printer and it runs like a champ. No printing problems at all and fast too.
I highly reccomend the Samsung line of laser printers with a Mac.
This is my first Mac and I have been wanting to ditch PC / Windows for years now and I am almost totally free, I have an iPhone but my wife still has a BlackJack phone which has Windows Mobile on it ( talk about an OS that ***** )
As soon as iPhone gets a chat app for Yahoo Messenger, it's Bye-Bye WM6...
See ya'll

Help! I am having problems printing to HP LaserJet P1006? How can I get it to work?

Hey All! I have an old iMac that I am having a few issues with getting it to print with my HP LaserJet P1006. It will print from MS Word, but not any other program. Whenever I try to print from any other program (Excel, Preview, Firefox browser) it says that the print job has been stopped, and if I try to restart it or resend it to the printer, it simply stops it again and I have no idea why. I have already tried all of the basics (restarting my computer, reinstalling the driver, unplugging and restarting the printer, etc) and am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cannot print with HP LaserJet P1006

I've installed the latest print drivers from HP (1.0.6) and still the LaserJet P1006 driver doesn't appear when I try and pick the driver. I have verified that /Library/Printers/hp/laserjet/HP1006/ exists and has the following files in it:
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 1 04:42 HP1006PDE.plugin
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 1 04:42 HP1006PM.plugin
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 16 15:07 hp LaserJet Utility.app
When I try using other LaserJet drivers nothing prints and I see DoIOTrandfer error 0xe0004051 errors.
Any ideas?

Have you had any luck getting the P1006 to work? I'm in a similar situation and I haven't found anything that works. I'm trying to install on a MacBook running 10.4.11. I've tried both the 1.0.4 and 1.0.6 versions of the drivers with no effect.
The printer is showing up in the Printer Browser window, but it's not showing up in the "Print Using" drop down menu.
I tried a manual uninstall and a clean reinstall. Didn't work. I did noticed in the uninstall instructions on HP's website that the file /Library/Frameworks/libZJBIG.dylib is shared with several other printers. The uninstall instructions say not to remove this file if you use these other printers. I don't, so I went to delete it. But upon checking, I found that the p1006 installer hadn't installed it. I thought this might be my issue, so I installed the drivers for one of the other printers that share this file. I now have libZJBIG.dylib, but still with no results.

Trouble Printing with HP Laserjet P1006

Hi,
I just purchased a new HP Laserjet P1006 and when I installed it, Apple Software Update installed new drivers for it.
When I try to print, everything just hangs in the printer queue and says "Sending print data..."
Any idea how to fix this?
I'm using Snow Leopard FYI.
Thanks

Was the HP 2.2 update the one that was installed?
What happens if you delete /Library/Printers/hp, delete the queue from Print & Fax Prefs and then install the 2.2. update?

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!

Printing problems with HP LaserJet P1006 - UGH!

I have an HP LaserJet P1006 directly connected (wired w/ USB cable) to a computer that runs Win XP. It will at times just stop printing. For example, most recently, it ran out of paper while printing something. I put more paper in but and pressed the start button and it would do nothing. I tried to turn it off for the recommended 30 seconds, when I turned it back in, it still did not print. As recommended, I restarted the computer, and tried to print again, but no luck. I know that I can uninstall and reinstall the printer and that should fix it, but it is frustrating to have to do this frequently.
Are there any fixes to resolve this problem from repeatedly happening?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have consistently had the same problem. You are not alone. I have not figured the solution. In fact I came across your message in my search for a solution.

Print problem with HP LaserJet P1006 since 17/10/2011

We received our client reporting that they use the HP LaserJet P1006 to print a PDF with portugese. The preview is fine. However, the output of the portugese words are changed to font named "Wingdings". I viewed the property of the PDF file - fonts tab. All fonts are embeded. This error occured on this Monday. Why...? Thanks a lot.

HP LaserJet P1006 not printing

Just connected my HP LaserJet P1006 to the USB port of my wireless router. When I tried to print my computer went on the Net to download the printer driver. I tried printing again. I got the print dialog box, selected the printer which was connected to my wireless router, and clicked on “Print” button. The HP printer app starts and reports that the page was completed but the printer just sat there with no output and no error message on the computer either. The printer works fine when I print from my MacBok Air. What am I missing?
1.HP LaserJet P1006
2. MacOSX 10.5.8
3. No error messages
4. Just installed printer
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What brand and model is the router?
It does sound like the issue is isolated to one Mac system since it works from the other.
Reset the Mac printing system exactly as outlined in this document from Apple.
Next, install the full featured driver from HP. This driver package includes support for OS X 10.5.
This should reset the printing system and remove any software that may be causing a conflict.

I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?

The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions

Hey @wmowafi,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing a slow printing issue on Windows 8.1 when printing to your HP Laserjet P1006 Printer. I would like to work with you today at resolving this issue. Now the only driver available for your product on Windows 8.1 is a hostbased plug and play basic generic driver. Therefore, there is limitations for what can be done for troubleshooting. As you stated, you have already attempted an uninstalled and reinstalled of the driver to no avail. I'm going to suggest some further steps and tools to resolve this issue for you.
Step 1: Uninstall Your Printer:
Disconnect your USB cable
Click the following link: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled to access the Microsoft Uninstall Tool.
Once the website opens, select Run Now on the right hand side
Allow the Tool to run.
When prompted choose Uninstall
A list of programs should populate and you're looking for the Laserjet. It may appear as LJ P1000 series. Please select the Laserjet series and Uninstall it.
If the Laserjet doesn't show in the list of programs than your Windows 8.1 computer does not see the Laserjet driver as properly installed.
Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
Launch your Start screen by right clicking on the Windows icon on the bottom left of your screen or by select the Windows button on your keyboard located to the right of the Ctrl button.
Once the Start screen launches, type the word Run
Click on Run to launch it
In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
Once the Temp folder opens, hold down Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard and everything will highlight in the folder. Select 'Delete' on your keyboard. Don't worry, no files or folders on your actual computer will be removed during this process. If a file is still be used on your computer you will get a pop up to 'skip' the file
Once the Temp folder is emptied of its files, close the window
On your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and left click on 'Empty Recycling Bin'
Restart you computer
Step 3: Reinstall the Laserjet P1006:
Please keep your USB cable disconnected
Click on the following link: HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver
The driver page for your product will now launch
Select Download and allow the download to Run
Once the download is complete an extraction will automatically run and once completed the installer will launch
Run through the step-by-step on screen instructions.
Please do not plug in your USB cable until prompted
Ensure that your USB cable is plugged in from the rear of the printer directly to the computer. Avoid extenders or docking stations as they can cause printing and communication issues.
Test printing!
Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!

HP Laserjet P1006 won't print "Printer Offline"

My hp laserjet p1006 won't print and the error message says "printer offline". The printer does show up in System Profiler. The printer is on, and connected via USB. Ready light on printer is on. Sometimes the orange light blinks but is mostly off. I tried different USB ports (eliminating the hub) and switched out the USB cable. Restarted computer and printer, updated driver and repaired disk permissions. I recently switched to Snow Leopard but the printer has printed since I switched numerous times.
I had this problem 2 weeks ago and finally it fixed itself, but since a restart it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Yes, I just downloaded the Apple HP update 2.3. The driver that was showing in my Printer Setup Utility was 1.2.0.224. Now I downloaded and installed 2.3 but the Printer Setup Utility only shows 1.2.0.224. 2.3 is not listed in the driver list. Why is that?
2.3 is the version of the update, not the version of the driver.
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669, 1.2.0.224 is the correct version of the HP driver.
Final question: why do I have problems nobody else does?
People are having a variety of problems. It may be because of permissions, previous versions of the HP software that was installed and not deleted. Since there wasn't support for this printer on Snow Leopard until the 2.2 update, it's hard to guess what the issue was, but you're not alone - read some of threads here.
If you run into this problem again, delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/hp folder, delete your printer from Print & Fax, then run Software Update and re-add the printer.
Hope this helps.

HP LaserJet P1006 refuses to print after a paper jam

I've used an HP LaserJet P1006 for 3 years now and it has performed without a hitch (I don't print that much). However, recently it swallowed a sheet of paper in a rather crooked fashion that left it gasping, and I had to shut it down. I was abled to carefully remove the paper after first removing the ink cartridge, but when I tried to print again, it would not do it. I went through the entire check-up procedure the manual suggests, but no dice, it refuses to print. This morning I tried something I did not tried before, which was printing a "Demo Page" under the "Print Information Pages" of the "services" tab of the "Printing Preferences" menu. To my surprise it printed the Demo Page. However, it refuses to print anything else, like the "print test page" or print from any other program. Intimidation with a sledge hammer doesn't work either. Any ideas anyone? I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks. JD

Thanks for the tip Royal_KB, I tried what you suggested but no dice.
I tried the HP Print Diagnostic Utility v4.1 with the following results:
1) Before I tried to print, I clicked on the FIX button and it said: "No problems were found for HP laserJet P1006" and all checkmark circles are green. A small window pops up that states: ""The HP Print Diagnostic Utility is not detecting any remaining issues. Click PRINT A TEST PAGE to check your printer operation"". I click to print, and a second window asks if I really want to print. I say YES, but no printing takes place, the printer doesn't even attempt to print, though the light on the printer is green. So I click on RETEST I get the same behavior all over again. ""No problems were found for HP laserJet P1006"" and all checkmark circles are green. I try everything suggested by the HPPDU v4.1 and I find myself in a catch 22 situation, so I do 2) next
2) I go to PRINTING PREFERENCES > SERVICES tab > PRINT INFORMATION PAGES > select DEMO PAGE > PRINT button..............The printer then turns on, and prints a perfect demo page of the printer. I have tried to make this printer print through other programs and test pages etc. etc., but the Demo Page is the only thing it will print. I'd appreciate any other suggestions. Trebuchet candidate maybe?
Thanks

HP Laserjet P1006 suddenly quit printing wirelessly - in between print jobs. Instantly.

Hi -
I used to be able to print wirelessly from my macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) to my Laserjet P1006.
I can still print if I plug in via USB, but as soon as I unplug, the "print and scan" window says my printer is offline.
I was inbetween print jobs when suddenly the printer stopped allowing my computer to print wirelessly. There was nothing I could see that would have set it off.
I have tried shutting everything down (computer and printer, even wireless router) and turning back on.
I have tried telling computer not to remember printer... then connecting again with USB to get it to recognize as new. That didn't work.
I tried to follow instructions for MAC and for this specific printer from a post someone else made, but the instructions said to hit utility from the "Open Print Queue" window and I didn't have that option. It also said to look for Bonjour, I didnt' have that option.
I'm frazzled.
How can I get my wireless connection back?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Teh Laserjet P1006 is a USB only printer and does not provide any wireless connection:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01173154&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
May you connected the pritner to a print server (a USB port of a router, etc.) in the past? yje specific model does not support any connection without using a USB.

HP Laserjet P1006 won't print

Hi
My printer HP Laserjet P1006 had been working fine until today.
It shows the message : "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer."
I tried Software Update and it says everything is up to date.
I'm really having a headache now, cannot understand why one day it just doesn't print.
All help is more than welcomed.

Finally i rerun Software Update again after an hour. And luckily it found an update for HP software. So now it is working like before.

Printing in Adobe Reader 9 with HP Laserjet P1006

I am having trouble printing in the newest version of Adobe Reader 9 on my HP LaserJet P1006. I am able to print to a shared HP LaserJet 1320, but not the P1006. I am able to print from Word 2008 and Firefox 3. This makes no sense to me.
I have "reinstalled" both Adobe Reader and my printer driver, though I'm not sure how "uninstall" the driver. But, I did do a reinstallation of that, and am getting the same results.
Any ideas on how to:
1. Uninstall the printer driver
2. What may be going on?
I have read that a few other people have had troubles printing within Adobe Reader on Leopard, but everyone uses different printers. I'm guessing this may be a Leopard compatibility problem with Adobe reader and the HP driver??
Any help is appreciated
