Problem with HP LaserJet 4200/4300

Hi,
My HP 4200/4300 LaserJet printer, connected via ethernet cable is becoming lost while Apple OS 10.4.11 searches for port 90 or 9001.
The problem has gradually grown more severe. Oddly, in some shifting pattern I haven't been able to identify, some applications print readily, some require fiddling, and some I can't make print at all.
I tried the HP forum but I can't seem to post a message there because my modem connection is too slow for their website.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Garrett

Hi,
I'm worse off than I was, can't print at all anymore. (The printer is the only thing on the ethernet cable).
Not quite as easy as it sounds, this was not a straight forward or logical procedure, there were at least two other windows that popped up to accept the address manually again. The highlighted "default Browser didn't show the printer right away, it took several tries and then when it finally did show I can't say why. Perhaps the screen is "refreshed" along the way, that's the way it seemed, and then the printer name showed up later?
Whatever happened, the message now says; "Network host 'NPIC86923.local' is busy; will retry in 5 seconds." There was a quick flash mentioning port 9100 but you have to see watch carefully as its almost too quick to notice, weirdly, the number of seconds seems to be arbitrary, sometimes it says will retry in 10 or 30 seconds.
It worked once printing a text edit document but now cannot print at all, I'm pretty much panicked out now because I don't know how to go back to where I started and the tech center for HP is not at all like the old days, seems like its been contracted out in a foreign country with no clear idea about what to do.

  • Re: OSX Lion printer problems with HP Laserjet 4200

    I have updated the driver for the HP LaserJet 4200 series printer to ver. 18.2. The computer communicates with the network, via a Linksys Wireless-G printserver, WPSM54G, and is sending something to the printer, but the printer prints only what appears to be identifying information, then raw code. Has anyone else had this problem? I use this OSX with three other printers, two of them wireless, with no problem.

    Just found an email HP Support sent to me back in January 2008, about this issue
    "Hello Hunter,
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    There currently is not proper driver for 10.5, so it is surprising that the printer is printing correctly on your Mac from any application.
    Your issue cannot be resolved until the 10.5 driver is developed and released.

  • I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

    I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
    Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
    Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

    How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
    I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
    All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
    Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
    I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Printing problem with HP Laserjet 2550

    I have an HP Laserjet 2550 which is having problems with my Macbook Pro with 10.6.3
    Snow Leopard has the drivers for the HP 2550. So when I added the printer it picked up the drivers.
    The problem I am having is that it send the job to the printer but the printer does not print it. When I restart the printer on startup it prints the job. I have to do this every time.
    Is the problem with the Mac or the printer?

    Have you run Software Update to check that you have the latest HP drivers? They have done a couple of revisions since SL was released. Of course, if you are still running 10.6.3 SU will come up with many other updates some of which might be relevant to the problem.
    You might also do some maintenance - repair permissions, etc. This could make a difference. There are lots of other steps that might be taken but try these first.

  • Problems with hp laserjet 4ml on solaris 7

    Hi out there,
    I`ve got a problem with a hp laserjet 4 ml on "solaris 7" (AXUS ultrasparc WSU1D/200):
    After I had installed the driver with the hp jetadmin-tool, it`s only
    possible to print as a root-user, as a normal user nothing happened, the printjob never reached the printer, but with the
    lpq-command I can see it in the printqueue. With "solaris 2.6" it worked fine. Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Check out the permissions for printer related directories and files.

  • Problem with HP LaserJet 4L and Leopard

    4L will not print with Leopard except under following circumstances:
    If I unplug the 4L, then replug and reset via Print & Fax preference,
    then, it will print 1 page and stop. Will not print any more until I go through the unplug,replug,reset procedure. Then, I get 1 more page. Etc,etc. The unprinted pages appear in the printer queue. I have used this 4L happily going back through many Mac's to the old Duo. Any ideas?

    I am having a problem with my HP Laserjet 6L. I use PowerPrint's Serial to USB cable. The computer recognizes the driver, but prints garbage. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    With Tiger I used to have the problem where after each print job I would have to unplug the USB cable and plug it into the other USB port. This might be a work around for the other respondants.

  • Printing problems with hp laserjet cp1515n [found problem]

    Dear Arch users,
    A couple of weeks ago I installed for the first time an Arch linux on my brand new Dell laptop with an UEFI MB. It took a while until I could understand how UEFI works but eventually I sort it out and got Arch installed. Unfortunatelly there are some small problems to be straiten out. One of them is the fact that printing with my laser printer (see subject line) is not working.
    for the last couple of days I was searching through all post I could find around on the internet, mainly here at the Arch forum. Unfortunatelly I could not find anything nearly describing what I am living on my system. Well here is a brief description of what is happening. After installing Arch, I opted for KDE desktop environment and I made the full instalation. After installing additional software (gimp, inkskape, etc.) I needed to install my printer. At first I couldn't get permission. Than reading the Arch tutorial for CUPS, I saw that the 'lp' permission was not setup properly. Well Have done as described there. Then I tryed to install using the GUI from KDE for installing an usb printer and for my surprise there was not such an option. I intalled than de hp-toolbox, and than it was easy to install the printer. It was automatically recognized and everything was there. The problem was, when I open an archive (text, web page, doesn't matter) and send it to print, the spooler went well theoretically sent to printer and then popped up a notification saying printing finished. Opening the printing cue, I can see that the archive was still there and marked as pending. That was the point where I started to search around for potential solutions or similar solutions.
    After sudying a lot I came to a conclusions that it probably have something to do with permissions. Unfortunately I could not find out where or which permissions to change in order to get something printed. I found some "debugging" and information commands and I am posting the results here;

    OK here am I again.
    as mentioned before I created an bogus printer with:
    lpadmin -p test -v file:/dev/null
    verified the presence of the printer;
    lpstat -p
    $ lpstat -p
    printer Color_LaserJet_cp1515n disabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:55:59 PM BRST -
            reason unknown
    printer hp930c is idle.  enabled since Thu 31 Jan 2013 11:30:21 PM BRST
    printer test is idle.  enabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:54:57 PM BRST
    At first "test" printer was disabled for an uknown reason.
    tried to use lpadmin -p test to enable the printer as described on the previusly mentioned web site, but couldn't get to enable printer "test". After reading alittle more on the internet I found the command cupsenable <printer> and indeed it changed the printer status.
    tried to print;
    echo test | lp -d test
    result:
    $ echo test | lp -d test
    lp: Destination "test" is not accepting jobs.
    I tried to change the condition of the Color laser printer but did not made any difference with the cups command.
    Conclusion: how can I modify this status to make the printer accept jobs?

  • Problem with HP LaserJet M1319f MFP installation

    Dear support team and community members,
    I'm currently trying to install HP LaserJet M1319f MFP connected by USB on Lenovo Q190 machine /Intel Core i3 processor/ running freshly installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit with Bulgarian
    language pack, all current updates, Microsoft Forefront Protection /I also tried to disable the Real-time protection/, UAC disabled, administrator account, IE 11, .NET Framework 4.5.1. 
    The priter was working correctly with Windows XP.
    I downloaded the driver package from the official hp website.
    After the installation process reach the "Copying files to the hard drive" stage the installer return error Printer Software Installer stopped working.
    I tried running with Administrator privileges and/or Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, but the same error occurs.
    I tried Microsoft Fix It software for install/uninstall drivers too,but with no luck either.
    I cleaned the cashe and temporary files around 10-15 times.
    Windows update is not helping with the drivers too.
    I tried to extract the files from the installer and manually add the printer and got error that the installation was not successful and below it says The file was not found /if I recall it correctly/
    After that I tried HP Print and Scan Doctor software, but it displays that there is no driver installed and redirecting me to the driver download page.
    I tried the Driver Wizard software too, but it returns that this model is no supported.
    I tried to change the windows startup to "Selective startup" with "Load startup items" unchecked and all non-microsoft services disabled, but with no success.
    Under Safe mode the install won't complete because of the Print Spooler service not running, which is running normally otherwise.
    The "ntprint.inf" file is present in the "Windows\inf" folder, the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Enviroments\Windows NT x86 has only Drivers and Print
    Processors subkeys and the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors has only Local Port, Microsoft Shared Fax monitor, Standard TCP/IP Port, USB monitor and WSD port subkeys.
    The folders Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS and Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86 are empty.
    I ran sfc /scannow in cmd with administrator privileges, but there was no integrity violations.
    I tried to disable the IE component, but no luck either.
    So now I’m out of any ideas how to connect that **bleep** thing… I hope that someone can help me with this issue.
    Currently the devices without installed driver in the Device Manager are "Hewlett-PackardHP LaserJet M1319f MFP" /Hardware IDs USBPRINT\Hewlett-PackardHP_La28A1 and Hewlett-PackardHP_La28A1/
    and HP Scan /Hardware IDs USB\VID_03F0&PID_5817&REV_0100&MI_00 and USB\VID_03F0&PID_5817&MI_00/
    I forgot to mention that I tried all kind of variations with these solutions with and without printer plugged in.
    Thank you very much in advance for any kind of guidelines.
    Best regards,
    Ivan

    Hello Rick,
    Just as I mentioned above I'm using Microsoft Forefront Protection, but had no luck with disabling the Real-time protection - it is disabled,
    but that chanage nothing.
    The downloaded driver is for Windows 7 64 bit.
    I did write to HP but I still got no answer from them... I already checked that support page, but I didn't get any information corresponding
    to my problem, not to mention that a lot of that page is just copy/paste from another product and it's not relevant to that model.

  • Printing problem with HP laserjet 1100A after upgrading to Mac OS Maverick

    Good afternoon,
    I have always been able to use my HP Laserjet 1100A with my iMac till I upgraded to Mac OS Maverick.
    After giving a printing order just one order will be carried out.
    In case I have 3 printjobs I have te restart the iMac twice to carry out all the print jobs.
    I am using USB for connection.
    When I use the printer with my Windows computer (Windows 7) there is no problem at all with the required printjobs.
    I guess the driver Gutenprint v5.2.3 is the cause of the problem.
    Is there a new printerdriver available?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fred

  • Printing Problem with HP LaserJet 1022 and OS 10.4

    I am having a problem printing one page of a document on my HP LaserJet 1022 with OS 10.4. All other documents seem to be printing fine, but when I try to print one particular page of a 90 page WORD doc, that page consistently comes out with a big black streak across it and it does something to the printer because all the lights start flashing.
    I have powered off, unplugged, reset the printer subsystem, reinstalled the printer driver, and even tried to print on my laptop, and the same thing keeps happening. The document printed for me fine a few weeks ago.
    Any suggestions on a work-around for this or a permanent solution? I really need to print this page on my printer ASAP. Thank you.

    The page looks perfect in preview and as a PDF. I can't print from the PDF, however, because it shrinks the text and expands the margins ...
    Something's fishy. Save as PDF should result a file that looks exactly, precisely, like what you'd get if you printed directly to your printer.
    I suspect your Word document has been corrupted by a few bytes of random data that is causing your printer to go nuts. Try cutting that portion out of the document, and pasting it in a new blank document so you can incrementally isolate the damage.
    This isn't going to be as easy as it sounds, because when the PostScript printer driver encounters the errant code in the Word document, it's essentially telling the printer "now, go to the top of this page, print a nasty black smudge, and then crash." You might have to cut a whole page before and after the suspected corruption. If you're lucky you might be able to cut the portion then paste it right back as "unformatted text". Try that.

  • Printing problem with HP LaserJet Printer since Mavericks Installed

    Hello,
    I'm working on iMac and I have recently installed OSX Mavericks.
    I have now printing troubles with my printer HP LaserJet P1102w.
    Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't.
    When it doesn't print I often need to suppress the file in the printer task and then print again. And there it works.
    I have tried to solve the problem by installing all the HP drivers, and also made a Reset printing system, but it does'nt change anything.
    Any Idea ?
    Thank you for any help.

  • Problems with HP LaserJet 4000 printer

    Hello everyone!
    Since the last HP Printer Driver Update the LaserJet cannot be found directly via USB on my MacBook Pro and Mac mini nor via my Time Capsule. Before the update everything was working fine. Is there any possibility to replace the newest driver with an older version of it?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Firstly it's not an ePrint printer, it's not even on the following list:

  • Printing problems with HP Laserjet P2015DN

    We are using SAP Business One software and are trying to print Delivery Slips using HP Laserjet P2015DN. The problem we have is when we use this printer it prints boxes around the entry fields. I have tried several drivers but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a print server with 2003 opreating system
    Thanks Jim Dyer

    JIm,
    When you say it prints boxes around the entry fields, do you mean for all reports?  If only selected reports have the boxes, check the border for entry fields
    Thanks,
