  • Scanner error 22 on LaserJet M1212nf MFP

    I can priint but can not fax or scan. The scanner bar will not more. ?????

    Hello Txmcgee,
    Thanks for the post.  I can't locate that specific error message, is it possible that it may be an error 55.22?  Let us know and if so, then we can work on that one.  In the meantime, I'm sending a link for a Diagnostic Utility that will go a long way in helping us to determine why the scanner bar is not moving.  Good Luck!

  • Sti Error! Video initialize error on HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP

    I'm using HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP all in one printer on Windows 7 32bit.  When i try to scan a document it gives me an error message Sti Error! Video initialize error on my coputer screen. I have re-installed the printer drivers but the problem still persists. I have also used HP Print and Scan Doctor and restarting the device from power cable, this also did not work. I connected it to another computer with windows 7 64bit and it worked perfectly.
    There is however no issue copying or printing only when I try to scan.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi @SoStoked ,
    I see that you are having issues scanning on the one computer. You are getting the error "Sti Error! Video initialize error".
    I would like to help.
    It sounds like you are having issues with your operating system.
    Did you add any new software or hardware to the computer?
    Try scanning with a 300 DPI and saving it as a JPEG, to see if you have the same results.
    Try scanning from Paint to see if you get the same error.
    What size are you scanning? (DPI)
    How are you saving the scan? (PDF, JPEG)
    I believe that the error might be a issue with your video card drivers. Update the drivers to see if that will help.
    Update the JavaScript and DirectX on the computer.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, did everything have a green check mark, any error messages)
    What applications have you tried to scan from?
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer - Communication Failure with the scanner

    Dear all,
    May I kindly ask if there are any known resolutions in terms of a scanning issue with the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer?
    When it starts scanning the printer only scans the up to the 3rd or 4th page, it stops in the middle of the sheet and produces an error message stating the following: Communication Failure with the scanner.
    Are there any steps that may be followed in order to resolve the incident?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Ryan

    Hi @Ryan_HP ,
    I see that you are experiencing a communication error during scanning of multiple pages. I would like to help, but I will need some more information to provide you with the correct steps to resolve this issue.
    If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to rule out any interference.
    Try scanning again.
    What operating system are you using?
    How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    What scanning software are you using?
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.

  • [SOLVED] foomatic-rip-hplip and HP laserjet M1212nf MFP printer

    I'm trying to install and configure the drivers for the HP laserjet M1212nf MFP printer to work with CUPS over a wired network using the hplip utilities.
    I've installed and set up the printer drivers etc using hp-setup and the printer is appearing in the CUPS interface. The problem is that when trying to print a test page
    from the cups interface, I'm receiving the message "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" 
    Has anyone had any experience with this error?  what needs to be done to fix this?  this is semi-important as I need my printer for work and school.
    SOLVED:  okay, so I found several solutions that combined seem to have solved my problems.
    1.) remove the printer from cups
    2.) instead of using 'hp-setup -i <printer-ip> just use hp-setup -i.
    3.) have Hal, Dbus, and Avahi up and running (probably my biggest problem, I didn't have hal or avahi installed, and I didn't have dbus running)
    4.) unpause printer
    5.) pray
    6.) print test page.
    these steps worked for me (not necessarily in the above order...)

  • Unsupported black in use error message for laserjet p2055

    Receiving "unsupported black in use" error message for laserjet p2055.  I replace the cartridge with a new one and the same message appears.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    Does it become active if you go to System Preferences > Accounts and Click on the current Account Pic and attempt to take a Pic ? (you do not have to Set it as the Pic)
    Go to System Preferences > Accounts
    Click on Your Account (in the list on the Left)
    The Right hand side will now show some options.
    Clicking the current Pic will give you access to Edit Pic
    One of the Options then is to take a Snapshot.
    Take a Snap Shot but you do not have to "Set" the Pic.
    This process will invoke VDCAssistant.
    Explain further about the PRAM Reset please.
    You should shut down the computer (Rather than trying to catch the Restart)
    You should then Start the Computer holding down the AppleALT+PR keys and keep holding them until you hear three Start Up0 Bongs (Chimes)
    This deletes some settings such as System Preferences Settings for the Volume (Sound) and Date and Time that may need resetting afterwards. (Others may also be effected such as Screen Saver)
    On Spotlight.
    This does not look or report on certain Folders.
    At the Hard Drive Level this is Library and Syatem
    In your Home Folder (Little House icon) it will not look in your Library.
    com.ecam.iusbcam.plist and com.apple.ichat.plist

  • Airprint to HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP from Windows

    Hi!
    I have a HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP, and connected it to the network via Ethernet, and was elated when I saw that I could Airprint  (wirelessly) from all 3 iPhones and the iPad in the family!
    I was not very elated when my 3 windows printers can only ePrint by using attached docs to emails, and then only certain formats.   I would expect this lack of funtionality from an Apple specific printer, but not from an HP printer!
    Through Googleing I saw what I thought was the answer: To fool my PC into thinking it can (wirelessly)  print to an airprinter  through the network, but nothing panned out as being that...
    Really disappointed in HP this time.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    Joe

  • Scanner error 6: HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw does not get through initialization phase

    My lJ400 MFP475 detects a problem with the scanner unit after chewing on it for several minutes and never finishes intitialization. Initially you can hear the scanner head move softly, but after less than a minute it starts rattling at the end of every move.
    After a few minutes I get the message "Scanner error 6, Turn off then turn on".
    I did that, again and again. Also with cables removed, waiting for some time etc.
    In the Event log I can see the following:
    Entry # Code Page Description
    10 54.2100 1035 BD error
    9 54.2100 1023 BD error

    2 54.2100 43 BD error
    1 54.2100 39 BD error
    I have used this MFP sparingly and am only halfway the first set of color toner cartridges, so I'm a bit disappointed about how quickly this printer gives up. My previous printer was an Apple Laserwriter Select 360 that lasted for 20 years (no, I'm not kidding, bought it in 1993).
    Any clue?

    Model: LaserJet 1536dnf MFP
    Error Messages: Fatal Error 7!
    Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit
    No recent hardware or software changes
    I attempted to install new firmware. Everything seemed to go fine during the install but before the install was complete "Fatal Error 7!" appeared and a few seconds later "Firmware Corrupt Ready 2 Download" appeared. I have not been able to figure out a solution. I found the following instructions (Failed Solution) but the same thing happened. I tried following those instructions a few more times with the same results.
    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Installed LaserJet M1212nf MFP on new computer. Prints but wont scan.

    I just installed Laser Jet M1212nf MFP printer on a new computer.  It installed itself and prints fine.  It wouldnt scan so I downloaded the software from the HP website.  It still doesnt scan.  I don't know what to do next.  My computer doesnt pick up the fact that there is a new scanner. 

    Solved my own problem.  the name of the laserjet showed up as 1210 instead of 1212 on my computer.  It still isnt working properly, but at least the new computer recognzes the printer.  Onto the next problem..

  • LaserJet M1212NF MFP "DEVICE BUSY" FREQUENTLY

    We have a LaserJet M1212NF and it seems almost after every other fax or scan it says "Device is Busy" and the only way we can clear the message and use the fax machine is to turn it off and wait a few minutes before turning it back on.  I have checked the driver and few other things and they seemed to be up to date and normal. 

    Hi @anna37020 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues with the printer going into a error of "Device Busy" after every other fax, then you have to restart the printer to clear the message. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Check these fax settings on the printer:
    Go to setup, (wrench) fax setup menu,OK, fax receive setup, OK, private receive, OK, turn if off.
    Go to setup, (wrench) fax setup menu,OK, all faxes, OK, error correction, OK, turn it off.
    Go to setup, (wrench) fax setup menu,OK, all faxes, OK, fax speed, set it to medium.
    Go to setup, (wrench) fax functions, clear saved faxes, OK to clear.
    Test the fax now.
    Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility.
    I will send you another step to try in a private message.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • Cannot add printer- get error message.  LaserJet 1200

    I recently bought a dual powered MacBook. It was working perfectly, and finding my printer both attached by USB, and wirelessly. It shows up as Bonjour LaserJet 1200. Suddenly, it stopped working, and cannot be added to the printer list. I get an error message,"client error message too long", or some other nonsense. I have several other computers, running OS X, and none of them have any problem sharing the printer, which is connected to an Airport Extreme remote base station. I have tried everything, and come up with no success. So eventhough the printer is recognized, with its address, and is sharable, it suddenly and without cause, cannot be added to the printer list, and thus I cannot print. Any suggestions. Peter
    Recent Dual MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I did. before and I did again. and then uploaded and installed new software and STILL get error 1282. the hp people told me there is nothing they can do it's an apple problem. I'm stumped. If you can think of anything else would appreciate it.

  • Printer hp laserjet m1212nf mfp is not shared with the homegroup

    Dear friends of HP
    I'm using the excellent HP Printer, but everytime Iturn it on, it asks me to make a "SMART INSTALLATION" if not my PC doesn't beguin to print and the default printer stays in grey color in the Control Panel.
    I'm using windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
    I've contact a lot of times to the israeli HP support and they kindly "fix it" by uninstalling and re-installing my printer.
    The next time I want to use the printer the same thing happends and asks me to make the Smart Installation.
    Today I've got from Windows Troubleshot this error:  "Printer HP Laser Jet Professional M1212nf MFP is not shared with the homegroup."
    The printer driver installed is:  "LJM 1130_M1210_MFP_Full_Solution"
    Please help me to fix this troubleshot that is bothering me for more than half an year.
    Yours sincerelly: uzi2003

    Hi Uzi,
    It seems as the HP Smart Install feature is trying to reinstall the printer upon each restart.
    Try following this tool by selecting Disable to turn off Smart Install for the printer:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-129228-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Next reboot the PC and try printing again, as well check if any prompt appears or not.
    If you still experience any printing issues, try following the HP Print and Scan Doctor below and check again:

  • Paper tray error message HP LaserJet 1102w

    Recently my LaserJet 1102w stopped printing duplex; instead, after printing the first side it gives an error message :  Paper tray needs to be filled.  
    The paper tray is full, but I cannot get it to continue printing the other side, no matter what.  This has become a huge problem, even when printing single-sided jobs.
    Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Once you place the printed pages back in the input tray, try opening and closing the top cartridge access door to rsume the print job and check if that prints the other side.
    Hope that helps,
