HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006

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?
Update:
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

Really Thanks God
i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
The solution
Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //
it seems like if windows 7 gives it information that is reseted after turn it off
we wish windows 8 to solve this problem nearly

My Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working with Mavericks

Hi, my Canon Pixma iP8500 printer has stopped working in the past few days and I made no alterations that could explain why this might happen. I am using OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks on a Mac Pro desktop computer. I can print a test page when selecting it on my Canon Printer Utility from my desktop so it seems that there is contact between the computer and the printer but it will not print from iPhoto, Preview or Mail. When I select Print from any of these nothing happens and there is nothing on the Print List. I have checked the Printers & Scanners in my System Preferences and my Canon iP8500 is listed and highlighted as Idle Default and Share this printer is ticked. I have tried deleting this printer then adding it but it still will not print. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions bearing in mind that I am fairly elderly and have a limited knowledge of IT and some of the terminology.
Thank you,
Colin.

Hi, might try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

Two-sided print don't work.

My 2610 Photosmart I think it don't have a duplex feature, but in Windows XP worked with a two-sided printed.
I can have it in 10.5 Leopard ? What can I do, because I use the setting two-sided printing and check print both sides, but nothing happens, it prints in two sheets of paper, even in queue saids that is printing 1 sheet of 1.
Can you tell me if in Leopard I need to buy a duplex printer to have it printed in both sides? I never need it in Windows XP, always printed in both sides when I wanted.

My Epson R2880 printer has stopped working - 'filter failure'

My prized Epson R2880 has suddenly stopped working. I upgraded to 'Mavericks' some time ago but for some reason this error popped up today and there appears to be no remedy.
Have tried deleting the printer and 're adding it several times' - no good. Epson site says that driver updates are available only from Apple. Apple update did not work.
Luckily I still have a trusty PC to fall back on but I really expect the Mac to contiue to work with this printer.
Any ideas?

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Network printing has stopped working

Several years ago I connected my HP 6300 All-in-One to a wireless router. My workstation is hardwired to the printer. My laptop is connected via networking.
Everything worked perfectly until last week. Now I can only print from my workstation. I checked the printer sharing settings on both computers and they are set to be shared.
The printer has been acting pretty strange lately. After every printing it gives me a "paper jam" error, when there is no jam. The only way to clear it is to turn off the printer, pull out the paper, then turn the printer back on. When it comes up I put the paper back and it will be fine for the next print job. Then I have to do it all over again. This started to happen before the network printing stopped working.
Also, I have my HP software disk. I put it in my PC thinking I would try to reconfigure network printing again, but nothing happened. I double clicked on 'setup.exe' in the root directory and the system hung. I tried the disk on the laptop and couldn't even view the files in Explorer.
I'm running Windows XP on both computers. All Windows updates are current.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Download and install the newer full featured software and drivers from the HP web site here. Now try.

HP M1120 mfp: two sided printing doesn't work

After that I have installed Snow Leopard the double printing doesn't work any more. There is someone that have found a solution to this problem?

Have you updated the software through Software Update? And did you check if there was a Duplex feature that needs to be enabled when adding the printer?
This thread also has details about adjusting the memory, but I am not sure if it applies:

Emailing files to my M1536dnf printer has stopped working

I used to be able to email files to my M1536dnf printer. Then I tried to install a driver for this printer on another computer and, by mistake, installed the entire printer web services package on the second computer. (I've since removed all that software from the second computer.) After my mistake, I can no longer send files to the printer by email AND I am locked out of the eprint center (where I could change the email address.) When I try to log in to eprint center I get a consistent message: Ajax submit failed: error =403, Forbidden
So I'm stuck and don't know how to proceed. (I can still print to this printer over my local network AND I can print to it from Google Cloud. It's only printing via email that seems broken.
Thanks for any ideas.

Software or drivers installed on your computer should not affect ePrint in any way. One thing that could have happened is that web services was removed from the printer.
As for the Ajax 403 error, It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

My Epson Printer has stopped working with my Mac Air

I have asked Epson for support but they keep telling me the obvious about deleting the printer via settings and reinstalling again. There have been several updates from Epson at the same time so there is obviously a problem but this is getting ridiculous now. Has anyone had the same problem and how have you sorted it out.
My Epson is Office Stylus BX635FWD.
Thanks

Is the printer attached to the computer or is it a network printer?

The setup button on my MX350 printer has stopped working.

Mx350 setup button no longer working. Can't setup new computers or use wifi.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or Service arrangement and take or send to Apple for resolution with one year Warranty. Until you do so, you can use Virtural Power Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn back ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

HP LaserJet P1005 Two-sided printing not working on network

Good day!
I have a desktop, with Windowx XP, to which my LaserJet P1005 is connected via USB. My wife has a laptop, with the same Windows XP, from which she can print, but the two-sided option does not work right. She can check it and print, but the window to restart printing for the second side does not open and there is nothing we can do at this point.
I have trie duninstalling the printer from both computers and reinstalling the newest drivers, it still won't work.
Thanks for your help!

I have an HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-in-One with the latest HP driver that displays the two-sided printing option greyed-out in the Layout window. According to HP, your printer must be capable of accepting an optional two-sided printer tray to work on a Mac. To me that is ludicrous since in Windows the driver supports manual two-sided printing.
To get around this, I select the Paper Handling window and from the Pages to Print drop-down list select Odd only instead of the default All Pages. After clicking the print button the odd pages print starting with the last page and ending with the first. I then remove all paper and reinsert the printed pages with the top of the page facing the printer. First, though, I reorder the pages with the first page on the bottom and the last page on top. If the total number of pages is an odd number, I remove the last page from the inserted stack, as that is the very last printed page. I then select Even only from the Pages to Print drop-down list and click print again.
Problem solved.

HP L7760 two-sided printing not working

I have an HP Officejet Pro L7760 which does two-sided printing, or it did until I upgraded from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5. I have reset the printer system, downloaded & installed the latest printer software from HP. I called HP. I called Apple.
I see the Apple website says the latest HP printer driver is 1.1.1. When I bring up Print & Fax, it says my printer driver is 2.3.1.
Does anyone know how to get back the two sided printing? Which driver version is correct? Any thing I can try?

Two-sided printing works, but alternate pages print "upside down"

I have an HP C6280 all-in-one, networked via Bonjour. The 6280 ships with the duplex (two-sided) printing accessory. Latest drivers from HP (v2.3?) installed. I can select two-sided printing, and it works...but no matter which binding option I choose, the pages print out as if I was binding at the top. IE, page 1,3,5 are right side up but 2,4,6 are upside down. I want binding on the left.
What am I missing? On the HP forum, I saw a note that this is a known problem in Vista. Any ideas? thx

This was a problem about a year old with older drivers for other printers. Maybe somehow you've got these installed. Run the HP Uninstaller from its folder in Applications and uninstall all HP software. Reinstall version 9.7.1 from the download here:

You could also try reseting the Leopard print system. Search for how to do this.

My airprint has stopped working. It has work well for several weeks and stopped for no apparent reason.

I have performed all the abvious checks and cannot find anything wrong or anything that has been changed. I have consulted several forums and have not found anyone having the same problem. I have an iPhone4 and an iPad2. Air print has stopped working for both devices. I'm guessing it must be something with the printer, which does work very well with everything but airprint. The printer in a HP Officejet 6500A Plus.

After some research, I figured out a work around to sovle that problem. On the router, I created a entry for port fowarding, the trggering port and targeting port with 5353. That seems fixed the problem with lost 6500A plus communication with MAC issue. The problem seems related with Banjour service which is utilizing UDP 5353. I did a trace on the router and found most of MAC products, such as MacBook will trigger the 5353 when connected with router, but some how, the 6500A will only trggering 5353 on router initializing, then lost its communication through 5353 aftrer few mins. Don't know why, but the work around seems working fine.
Hope that give everyone still battling this issue some ideas.

Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

Hi,
I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

Thank you merleau. I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.
