Why do print jobs disappear and never make it to the queue.?

Win 7/64 SP 1.... legacy Lexmark X6675 printer/copy/scanner/FAX ....USB wired connection. Windows on auto update. IE 11.
Printer was working fine until 2 weeks ago. Will not print anything now. Rest of "4 in 1" works fine. I get no messages either on the printer or computer that anything is wrong. All Microsoft scans say all is OK including Mr. FixIt.
Did complete file scan through command prompt nothing wrong. Have stopped and started print spooler which was empty. Have run virus scan and scanned with Malwarebytes ....nothing.
Will print OK on an XP machine. Will print a test page from it's install program but will not print a test page from within Windows 7. Print jobs disappear and never end up in queue from all programs I have, MS Works 9, Notepad, Wordpad, Acrobat reader,
Microsoft Paint. Installed new inexpensive Canon printer on computer and it works fine. All hardware I believe is OK. Problem IS software.
I have reinstalled the program 3 times. 2 times through Microsoft auto up date, once by downloading driver program from Lexmark and setting up as a "new" set up.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi，
Since this problem occur 2 weeks ago, the easier way to get it back is using system restore to roll back to a previous time when everything works fine.
If you have no system point, let us know what scan and "fix it" tool have you tried?
Firstly, run Printer troubleshooter:
Open the Printer troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, and then clicking
Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
Troubleshooting. Under Hardware and Sound, click
Use a printer.
Next, uninstall it from Device Manager completely and then rename the spool printer and driver files:
1. Open Command Prompt with administrator.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands (press ENTER after each)
3. Rename %systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers Printers.old.
4. Rename %systemroot%\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86 w32x86.old
Reinstall it again and make sure get the latest and proper driver from Lexmark.

TA20637 I have a print job that I can not delete from the queue.

When I try it says "job is completed and can not be deleted from queue" but it seems to be stuck (and keeps reprinting rather than letting me print other documents). What do I do? I tried clearling the printer queue by turning the printer on and off but that is not dumping the cache.

So, you can't select it in the queue and Delete it the usual way...
If nothing else works, you may need to remove printer from the list in System Preferences Print & [Scan/Fax] pane. Then add it back.
And if NOTHING else works, you can also Reset printing system. This removes ALL printers from the list and resets the overall printing system. The command is in the same System Preferences pane. Right (Control) click on the list of printers and select Reset printing system. This time, you'll need to add all of your printers back.

Printer Queue - How can I hide print job title and username?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to hide print job title and username in the printerqueue?
Because of our privacy agreement we would like to hide this information,
Workstation OS: Windows 7 x64
Printserver : MS 2008 R2
Thanks in advance
Mark

Not the user name but the job name is changed to Print Document when the print jobs are sent to Server 2012 and 2012R2.
There is no Windows feature like this in 2008R2. There are third party products that include job rename features for 2008R2

Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Help?

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

My "send" button has disappeared and my address list on the left side has disappeared also. How do I retrieve these items?

I have never had a problem sending & or receiving e-mail prior to the past few days. All of a sudden the Send button has disappeared and my address list on the left side has disappeared too.
I did find some help which suggested opening the Write and then press F9 to retrieve the address list. The address list returned on the left but does not appear as it used to ie. full length of the screen. However what is now there will be satisfactory. The "Send " button is still missing which is frustrating as I have not been able to send any e-mails for approximately a week now.
Would appreciate advice as to how to retrieve the above.
Thank you.

Thank you for your advice re: the SEND button having disappeared and also the address list on the left side having disappeared. I must confess that I was not able to get it back myself. This a.m. my computer would not turn on at all. I therefore contacted the company which services it, namely iTOK and a technician read your suggestions and after a bit of manipulation of various things he got them both back. It seems that I had not noticed the "press the alt key" as part of it due to the fact that the 'alt key' was not 'ALT key'. My fault for skimming too quickly. Thanks again for your advice...it worked and now i am back on track.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again. The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC. No iTunes installed on PC. Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again. The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC. No iTunes installed on PC. Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her. It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

My iPhone says "o death" where the date should be on the lock screen, why is it doing this and how do I get the date back?

My iPhone says "o death" where the date should be on the lock screen, why is it doing this and how do I get the date back?

I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
Thanks for all your replies!

Why are bonjour print jobs 'disappearing' under Lion?

I have a iMac running Lion. It has a Canon printer attached via USB. I share that over the network.
For work, I have a Win7 (64) machine. It connects to my home network (wireless). I installed Bonjour for Windows from Apple onto that machine.
It seems the shared printers, no problem. I installed the Canon printer driver on Windows.
Using the Bonjour wizard, I created a printer on WIndows and pointed it (via Have Disk) to the printer driver.
When I print, the Win7 device sends the job to the Mac. I see the job in the Printer Control panel, showing all jobs.
It shows as completed BUT never gets sent to the printer.
If I look in the System Information, Printer Error log, I see one message around the time I sent THREE jobs:
E [08/Feb/2012:08:50:56 -0500] Missing printer-uri, job-uri, or ppd-name attribute
E [08/Feb/2012:08:50:56 -0500] Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for windows-ext (no URI) from [v1.fe80::79b5:d75c:5f0e:797d+en1]
Anyone know how to get this to work?
Seems like it is all Apple Software at work here... I hope I can get this to work.

FWIW, I've had similar issues with Lion and have finally just turned everything related to Spam off, so that all my emails go into my inboxes.
My guess was that there was some behind the scenes process deciding that some mail I wated to keep was spam on one of my comptuers, but not on another. Since all the the email accounts are IMAP, when i do delete an email from one comptuer, it gets deleted from all of them, but at least now I get to decide what gets deleted and what doesn't. More work for me, yes, but at least emails don't go missing anymore..
Mail in Lion is not problem free.

Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print

As the title say, It sends to the spool, says printing, disappears, and I cry, because nothing is printed.
HP Deskjet 1513 - Windows 7
Tried wiping out and reinstalling the drivers
The ones that came from the CD, OR the ones online. No response from the printer.
I can clean the printer, align cartridges, print test page, scan documents, but cannot print documents.
Not from word, not from pdf, nor a web page, neither notepad.
The printer IS the default printer.

Solution: disable bidirectional support on the Ports section

Why did my photo stream (iCloud photo folder) all of a sudden disappear (and never came back)?

So, one of my photo streams (folder) have disappeared today all of a sudden (with others too) and it never came back, unlike the other ones :/. I don't know how come (though( :/. It included most of my trip photos (for this month). Someone plz help!! ;(

Photo Stream in iCloud is not your storage area, it's only for your convenient to stream photos to other Apple devices you might have.
1000 photos for 30 days, so you have enough time to backup important photos.
