Re-installed OS 10.5.8--hp laserjet 1200 no longer prints

Hi,
Actually, it prints but the only thing it prints is:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: csq
STACK:
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? My iMac recognizes my laserjet 1200 as well as my officejet 6210. But nothing prints except the message above.
Thanks for any help you can give.

similar problem with a brother cdn
upgrade from x4.11 to x5.8 and the printer drives seem to be "wacky"
ALSO; after downloading the "newest" drivers and installing & the system updater also "found new drivers" and installed them, the problem was actually worse.
And; in Print manager, created a new printer with driver, still no help, finally in desperation =
the FIX: to find the nearly dozen duplicate driver files (in both Library / printers & PPDs) and trashed them ALL, then re-installed the brother driver package and all is good again.

HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from PDF on MacBook Air

Yes, I still use my Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4MV and with my MacBook Air with which I have been printing from Preview, Safari screen, email, AND from PDF's since I downloaded a patch from online 1-1/2 years ago. Inexplicably the HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from any Adobe PDF in any program. I can print any other document except PDF still. I can print PDF's on my other printers including a Brother. I have uninstalled and redownloaded Adobe Reader. It is a mystery.
Any suggestions? Did I accidentally download some update (I try to never download Adobe updates) possibly that 'cancelled out' my ability to print on my HP Laserjet 4 MV? Any ideas would help. Thank you so much.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

HP LaserJet 1300 no longer prints from OS 10.7.5.

My HP LaserJet 1300 has suddenly stopped printing various files, most notably PDFs from Acrobat X. I had no problems previously. Did an OS update to 10.7.5 cause this problem?

HP LaserJet 1018 no longer prints after security update

After installing the following updates on my HP Pavilion dv71023cl running Windows Vista:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB2817183)
Installation date: ‎4/‎12/‎2013 4:06 PM
Installation status: Successful
and a new driver for the 1018 from HP:
Hewlett-Packard - Printers - HP LaserJet 1018
Installation date: ‎4/‎21/‎2013 2:01 PM
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Optional
Hewlett-Packard Printers software update released in September, 2012
More information:
http://sysdev.microsoft.com/support/default.aspx
Help and Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub
It appears I can no longer print from Internet Explorer 9.
Clicking on gear icon and selecting the Print item, shows the Microsoft XPS Document Writer is highlighted instead of the HP Laserjet 1018 as I expect. When I select the HP Laserjet 1018, the Print Button becomes grayed-out.
Attemping to print from Adobe Reader X also hangs the application.
However, printing is working when using Open Office.
I cannot recall if I attempted to print between the time these 2 updates were installed, so cannot determine which is the cause of the problem.
This question was solved.

Sounds like you've run into some printer issues since your most recent update. First I wold recommend removing the software and then going to the HP website and re installing the software from the direct driver downloads.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Download this file, and if optional use the Full-feature software.

If that does not work I would try the PL6 drivers :

Install that and let me know the result!

Hp LaserJet 1200 won't print all pages

My hp laserjet 1200 has started acting strangely (or Mac OS) in that it sometimes, not always, fails to print the last page of a job, regardless of what program it is from. If it is a 6-page docuement, it only prints 5 pages, or 1 out of 2, etc. Anyone think of an explanation? (MacMini, 10.4.9)
Ken

If you are using a local connection (USB), then I recommend you install an alternate USB driver, called "usbtb."
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537
Then, delete and reAdd the printer in Printer Setup. It will show up with both usbtb and regular USB next to it.

HP Color Laserjet 1500L no longer prints with Snow Leopard

When requesting a 'print' the HP Laserjet 1500 accepts the job and the 'green light flicks 3 or 4 times and then nothing happens. A check on the queue reveals nothing - however the completed job shows. It was working perfectly well before I installed Snow Leopard recently. Is there anyone out there with the same problem and is there a patch or fix. I have reinstalled the printer and reinstalled driver. Appreciate any help. Thanks! argieanks

Right the 1500L does not work on my machine either. Although, the printer is on my airport extreme usb port, and is recognized as a Bonjour printer, the OS does not find a driver and will not install the printer. I can print through another computer. Unfortunately, I had to keep Leopard on the other computer just to get at the printer from my computer. I guess I cannot use snow leopard on that machine. This 1500L has been a problem for years. It has never been supported properly, and has given me all sorts of issues. In the early days, it kept dropping off my network, through successive operating systems, and then Leopard worked perfectly, until Snow Leopard, and now we are off again, waiting, waiting. Its my view that if a printer works, it should be kept working, not just dropped off the face of the earth...

HP Laserjet 1200 won't print under 10.4.6

I just updated to 10.4.6, using the combo installation. Now Quark 6.5 crashes whn I try to print. Any ideas or solutions?

It's all about fonts!

HP LaserJet 1200 is connected to usb but Lion 10.7 doesn't recognize it?

I have downloaded and redownloaded software from Apple and HP and nothing makes Lion see the printer. I have unplugged and replugged, reset printing system numerous times over the last 6 months and still it will not see the printer.
I have called HP willing to pay to have them help me and they say they won't even sell me a service call on this problem.
Apple keeps saying go to HP or redownload the drivers (Been there done this 12 times at least) also check software updates. Keeps saying software up to date.
Please someone help!!
Alexandria

I have this printer and use it all the time in 10.7.2. Works fine, and I installed nothing extra from HP.
What I'd do: Make sure it's plugged in (showing single green light) and connected to the Mac. You can check connection by doing Apple menu > About This Mac, Overview tab, System Report... Under Hardware in the list at the left, under USB, should appear HP LaserJet 1200. If printer does not appear here, something's probably wrong in hardware (most likely printer, seeing how old these are).
If printer shows up, go to System Preferences, Print & Scan (under Hardware), then click the + sign at left and add the 1200; it should appear if recognized by system.
For drivers, Software Update will do any updates as long as the device is attached; no need at all to download separate files (and as I recall, the 1200 is in the list of supported devices for 10.7; I checked before upgrading).

After installing latest OS update I can no longer print from my iPad to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. Any suggestions?

After installing latest OS 5.1 update I can no longer print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer?   Suggestions?

Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved. If it used to work, it will again.
Reboot the printer.   Reboot the router. On the pad, general, reset, reset network connections.
Make sure all the devices are on the same wifi network.   Talk nice to it.

HP Laserjet 1200 and HP PSC 1200 - Laserjet not printing

Hello,
my laserjet 1200 is not printing, stating: "Generic class - waiting for the device".
The reason seems to be the installer of the HP PSC 1200, which put some files on my harddisk the laserjet doesn't like.
There is a process called "HP Communication..." viewable in the process viewer. Whenever I manually quit this process, the LaserJet prints.
But as soon as I restart the computer, the process (and the problem) reoccures. Is there a way I can "kill" this process permanently?
mac mini G4 1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have 3 users who's HP LaserJet 1200's have stopped working. This was after we got an HP Color LaserJet 2820.
I killed the HP Communications process like mentioned above and then voila the LaserJet 1200 started to print again.
It looks like you want to edit this file
/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
and remove this line
<string>/Library/Printers/hp/HP Communications.app/HP Communications</string>
Thanks for the help

HP LaserJet Professional P100 wireless printer Install

Hello,
I am trying to install this printer on a server (server 2008 x64) without much luck. It is currently installed on a clients machine by using the CD and printer cable. The printer is using a static IP as well. When trying to install the printer on the server, it appears to install fine by choosing the install local printer option, and then entering the IP under "local port". The driver I am using is found here (please note it's difficult to see which server version is which because the text is cut off).

Please advise,
thank you

Unable to install the scanner on the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw in windows 7 64 bit

HI
am unable to install the scanner on the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Drivers in windows 7 64 bit , after runing the setup ,the printer will finshing the installation process and and it will show that the HP Scan and HP fax failed.

Hi @Chembo ,
I see you're experiencing issues installing the printer software. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software and any Real Time Scanning in the Antivirus Software also, to see if that is causing the issue. How to use MSCONFIG . Click on the Startup tab and click Disable all, Then click the Services tab and check Hide All Microsoft Services.
Restart the computer.
Disconnect the USB cable from the printer.
Run the uninstall from the CD.
Go start, computer, right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Make sure that the print spooler service is running.
Right-click Print Spooler, and then click Properties.
If the Startup type is set to Manual or Disabled, click the drop-down list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.
Under Service status, click Stop and then Start, and then click OK.
Run the installation again and don't connect the cable until prompted.
Test the printer.
Then you will have to go back and enable the Startup programs, Microsoft Services and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
I have cups version 1.5.0-1
hplip 3.11.7-2
What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
-Brittany

I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
Absolutely.
If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing? If your not you should be. if it failing does start manually work?
if it's running you should be able to access via browser. localhost:631
also see/try
$ hp-toolbox
CUPS interface better option IMO tho.

Install Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in new Laptop with Windows 8, 64 Bit

Product Name - HP Laserjet 1200 Series, PCL 6 Driver
Operating System: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64 bit
Error Message : Can't find the 1200 Series on the Network. To locate manually click ok ....
Changes Made - This is an installation on new laptop, running Windows 8, 64 bit
Description:
1. Installing to an existing network, that consistedof a desktop and two wireless laptops.
2. Both Laptops have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above named printer is successfully accessed from the laptops.
3. Am replacing one of the laptops with the Windows 8 64 bit.
4. The Series 1200 path is: Wireless Printer to Router, Router to Desktop via ethernet, Desktop to Printer via cable.
5. The wireless printer configuration is
        Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
        Port: \\Central\HPLaserj
       Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
      Driver: HPMCPM25.GPD   5.8.2008
Problem
Unable to recreate this path with the Windows 8, 64 bit configuration.
a. When I attempt to download a current driver always wind up with a file entitled UPD-pcl6-x64-5.6.0.14430
     This appears to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, Can successfully unzip the file and create a folder
b. During installation I can see the the desktop printer ICON (name:\\central\HPLaserj); so far, so good
c. Process fails to locate a driver and instructs to manually locate.
d. Browsing to the HP Universal Driver Folders fails because a driver cannot be found .
e. Attempting to manuall enter fails because you cannot input the above address (\\central\HPlaserj). Can only enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.
f. When the installation did show a list of drivers, the only one I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought I was trying to download originally.
This set up worked successfully with the Windows 7 64 bit. It appears I need help from a lot more expertise than I have to walk me through this set up.
This question was solved.
