When I try to print a test page The printer feeds the paper through the printer without printing
My printer is set up and Windows XP Home SP3 recognizes it. I have checked the Device Manager to see if I had any conflicts.
I didn't so I opened the print spooler and typed Test in Windows Notebook and hit print. It showed up in the print spooler but
the printer located the edge of the page then fed the paper through. I uninstalled the printer and Printer driver and also the software. After I rebooted Windows found the printer and let me load the drivers and I printed a test page afterward and it printed fine. But then it went back to just feeding the paper through.
I have the latest windows installer version 4.5 running. All of Windows updates are up to date. I'm lost can anyone Help me
'''bold text'''I've tried several different virtual pdf printer applications including:
Foxit pdf printer
doPDF v 7
Nitro PDF driver v5
NovaPDF
Simpo PDF Creator
qvPDF
Virtual PDF Printer
I took screenshots of the same small section of a sample pdf file saved to pdf using the virtual pdf printer freeware doPDF v7.
Both test screenshots were taken on the same computer, a laptop running Vista Home Premium.
You can clearly see the problem!

Try a hard reset of your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I created an iMovie. When I try to export it crashes. Can any one walk me through the problem. In 3 hours, my mom's 80th b'day is taking place and this was one of the gifts.
All of the Spry files are missing and the basic_fs.css. It's a long list. If you use Chrome or Safari, you can view source (Safari) or Inspect Element (Chrome) and under Resources you will see the missing files highlighted.

R2880 taking paper through and discharging without printing
Using an Epson R2880, had for a while, no problems at all. Now have major issues with being unable to print. The paper is taken through the printer and discharged without printing at all.
Tried absolutely everything, drivers, re-set, etc, etc, blah blah! Totally sick to death of it, why is it we're in the middle of 2011 and all I want to do is print from my Mac???
I am incidentally very experienced in all things Mac and Printer. I run the creative department in a design agency, been using Macs since early 90's!!!! This is costing us ridiculous sums in wasted time!!
Come on Apple and Epson, we are loyal customers who spend a small fortune with you guys - LETS GET THESE BANAL PROBLEMS SORTED!I've never seen that one!
While waiting in the hope that "someone" will know the cause, I suggest you try the two generic fixes I try for all print problems:
First, Reset the Printing System:

If that doesn't help, restart from the Recovery partition, and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and repair permissions:

I am a web designer. I have saved pages that I update and upload to websites all the time. Now, after the latest updates, when I try to open these saved pages it only opens Firefox and loads the homepage. The saved page does not open. If I'm to keep using Firefox, which I would prefer, I need this functionality back.
''jscher2000 [[#answer-670981|said]]''
<blockquote>
What do you have set up as the default application for .html files? Or are you opening another kind of file that isn't normally/automatically associated with Firefox?
If you drag and drop the file onto a tab (which normally would replace the page there with the local file), what happens?
</blockquote>
I had tried all the suggestions. None of they helped. I can open the files by browsing for they after Firefox is open. I was able to spend some more time troubleshooting the issue yesterday afternoon. The issue has to do with the 64-bit file system. When I right click and select open with and then point it to the installation folder in the Program Files (x86) folder, it still won't open the file just opens to my home page. I did notice that when I was browsing for Firefox.exe that it defaulted to the Program Files folder not the Program Files (x86) folder. So I renamed the exe to LittleFox.exe and browsed for that exe and Firefox would then open the files as expected. So my guess is that it is a registry setting that is all the headache. I don't have time to run that problem down but will just use my workaround by renaming a copy of the exe and use that with my file association.

Why does my printer (HP Deskjet 2050 j510) print a test page ok but when I go to print a paper I typed in MS Office Wrd it shoots out blank paper? What an I do?

How are you connected to the printer, USB or wireless? -
How can I command my printer to print a test page?
Hello list,
I've got an application that is used on the shop floor that tests a product and then prints a certification sheet at the end of the test that ships with the product. They only run this test cell about once a month and invariably there is something wrong with the printer...no paper, dried up ink cartridge, etc.
The operator has no keyboard or mouse and the Labview application starts from the Startup folder.
I would like Labview command the printer to print a test page when when the test application starts. I couldn't find anything in the Windows API or on the Labview pallets that would do that.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Using Windows 7 & LV11
Thanks,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.A couple of possible options:
If the problems really are with the printer, then print your own page, just like you do when the test ends. I never looked at them closely, but I don't think the test pages actually include any info on the printer state, so it doesn't really matter what you print.
For functionality which you can't find in the Win32 API, you should usually also try searching for .NET code. Searching for ".net print test page" yields multiple results which look decent at a very quick glance (and some of them do actually appear to use the Win32 API).

I am having problems trying to print photos on my IMAC, I can print a "test page" from printer without any problems and have been able to print pages off without problems??
when I try to print a photos my photo page comes out blankThis could be an issue with the size of the image you are printing and the printers available memory. Although your printer may support up to 64mb or more of data, you may be getting a size error.
This has occurred with many of the printers at the facility I work at and the only work around we have figured out thus far is to resize the document. This does reduce the quality of the image.
Quick question. Are you printing directly to the printer through its IP or are you printing through a print server? -
HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print. This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1. I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working. The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds. I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

Hp officejet pro k550 will not print a test page using control keys on the printer.
How do I print a test page to ensure that this printer is still operational?
I have tried all instructions for clearing the printer of possible jams, removed and reinserted the print heads, and cleaned the rollers. When pressing the appropriate keys on the front of the printer, it will not print a test page. and no error lights appear.
The printer has been connected to a different computer and ceased working last summer. The printer would not respond to commands from the computer nor would it respond to keys on the front of the printer itself. I can get the printhead to move using the controls on the front of the printer, however. The printer is not currently connected to any computer and the nearest computer does not have the appropriate drivers installed. Originally the printer was connected to a Dell desktop running Windows XP (sp 3).
This question was solved.

HP Office Pro L7480 All in One Printer only prints half test page then stops - Windows 8.1
Hi
wonder if anyone can help with this one
Just replaced an old pc with a new Windows 8.1 Machine
I have 2 printers - An A3 HP printer and the Office Pro L7480
My A3 printer prints fine but the Office Pro starts to print a test page....gets half way down the DLL listing then ends and pushes the page out then prints another page with a line of garbage then pushes the page out then the printer stops responding and I have to turn on and off to try and print again with the same result.
Printer is connected via USB
I have tried different USB ports
Uninstalled the printer driver and resintalled
Tried both 32 and 64 bit versions
My Windows install is WIndows 8.1 64 bit
If I use the same usb cable as my A3 printer the issue remains
If I switch back to my old windows vista machine the printer works fine
I'm convinced that the printer driver is the issue with windows 8.1 as other printers work fine and the problem printer works fine on windows vista and my windows 7 laptop
The drivers I installed are from the HP drivers download and the printer is on the compatability list for windows 8.1
Any advice would be appreciatedHi @Martyn1060
I have a couple of ideas.
Let's first run the Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can identify and/or resolve the issue for us; Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools.
If the issue persists, try the following Microsoft Hotfix; A wireless, high-quality print job to a WSD port is automatically canceled on a Windows 8.1 computer.

Hp 1350 all-in-one not printing-except test page
I cannot get my printer to print. Things show up in the que but don't print. I checked all of the cables...unplugged, rebooted, etc., etc. nothing seems to work. It constantly prints out "test page" every time I turn it on. I changed the ink awhile ago. Help.
I too am having the same problem with a psc 1355. The Check paper light on the printer is not on but every piece of software I try to print from says that the printer is out of paper. I am using Windows Vista.

My HP 6310 will print a test page fine, but will not print from Publisher, Notepad, etc. It goes thru the motions, but the image printed is almost not there. I have new ink cartridges in it. I have adjusted the print settings. STILL won't print properly. WTH???
Hm, okay, thanks for getting back to me again!
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and test print again.
