Win 7 (64-bit) DJ 812C only prints test page

Windows 7 (64-bit) driver for HP 812C installed; Word and e-mail print attempts result in printing only the test page. Holding Power-On switch and pressing formfeed four times resulted in a good print-out that, among other things, mentioned an error code of 90020103. Print cartridges appear to be functioning properly. When document is printed from Word or e-mail, only the test page will print. Are error codes available anywhere? Printer setting descriptions? Spooling problems? Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to offer. My search continues.

There is an issue with the Deskjet 812c on 64 bit Vista and Windows 7 systems. You will need to apply the patch here.

Laserjet 4L, win 7, will only print test page(s)

When I try to print anything else, I get an error, with no particular message. The documents will just remain in the queue until I delete them. Right after installing, when I would try to print a doc, I would get an error message with options to troubleshoot . That error message said something about the printer being shared. It is not, so I changed that setting. Now when I try to print , the document will remain in the queue with a ! under status. When I try to print manually by pressing the button on the printer, I only get test pages. Also, when I open up printers/devices, there is a ! inside of a yellow caution triangle on the picture of the printer. Any ideas?
Edit: I found a suggestion to hold the button for 5 secs to reset printer. I did it, and the ! in the caution sign is now a green check mark. But, still get an error message in print queue.

Hi I hope you are doing well and very sorry to learn that you are having this issue

LaserJet Printer 5L Only Prints Test Page

I hooked up my LaserJet Printer 5L (I believe it's a 2005 model) to my Toshiba Satellite laptop (32-bit operating system with Intel pentium running Windows 7 Home Premium networked with a wireless router). Whenever I send a print job to the computer, it stays in the queue and only a test page prints. Have any ideas as to what's causing the problem? I'd appreciate any comments (I know, I should scrap the printer, right? lol). Thanks.

Hello @Tuulikki,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Deskjet 1050 is only printing a test page. I will do my best to assist you! What type of test page is it printing? Is this printer printing an alignment page?
Is this page missing colors or stating failed alignment?
I would follow this entire HP document on 'Alignment Failed' Error Message Displays on the Computer. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

HP photosmart all-in-one C4580 will only print test page

this C4580 has been installed wirelessly on my Toshiba notebook and my Hp desktop and my husband's Toshiba notebook for over a year. We move the printer across the room to a different electrical outlet (no extension cord...directly into wall plug). It will print beautifully from HP desktop and husband's notebook. Will not print from my notebook. Tried uninstalling printer on my notebook and reinstalling (I have done this 3 times so far). After re-installation, the test page prints perfectly but any further attempt to print a page or a document goes nowhere. The devices and printers display shows the printer as ready and with no documents in queue. Anyone know what I should do next? POI: the 2 notebooks are windows 7 and the desktop is XPPRO

Can only print test page on new SL install, nothing from Word, IE, etc.

I have a 2008 MBP w/ OS 10.6.2 installed, using an Epson Workforce 600 w/ Epson's latest drivers and installed everything going by their 10.6 FAQ install guide.
So I go into the Epson printer software and I can successfully print a test page off that program. But when I try to print MS Office documents, a .pdf off Preview, a webpage off Firefox or IE, or any other program besides Epson's printer software, nothing will print. What happens is the print box comes up with my print options, and I click on the blue "Print" button, and it will flash light blue like it knows I clicked on it, but after that nothing, the print dialog box stays up and nothing changes.
Any ideas on what I can do to get the rest of my applications printing properly? It ***** having to boot into Bootcamp just to print stuff.

Hello DWillyams,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with connecting the printer to your new wireless router set up.
I see that you have attempted several steps to get reconnected. I do have a few additional steps we can try.
On the printer, please go to the SetUp menu, followed by the Network menu. Once in the Network menu, please go to the bottom of the list to the Restore Network Defaults option and select YES.
Once the Restore Network Defaults has been done, please go back into the Network menu and select Wireless Setup Wizard. Follow the steps in the Wizard and this should now connect to your router.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

I can only print 1 page can somebody help

I can only print 1 page can somebody help
sl

I have the same problem with my HP C6380 MY8CJ880F6. For me it is +80% of what I am printing I only get 1 page and has to print the rest 1 by 1. The problem is 6 month old and I have tried almost everything except the right solution ;-}
Setup Windows 7, 64 bit (Danish). Wireless communication.
I have tried reinstalling, use HP diagnostics and a lot of other things. Diagnostics says everything is fine. Microsoft Fix It diagnostics says the same about the Windows 7 printer support functions.
My other printer a HP Designjet 111 runs perfect. When I am out of office I use other printers no problems. But the HP C6380 will in most applications especially Acrobat Reader only print 1 page at a time.
I have tried to change the printer into factory settings that sometimes do the trick for the Microsoft Office 10 products installed but not for Acrobat. Most of my documents are PDF so either i get the fixed or I will have to invest in another printer.
Any body with a solution ?

Canon Pixma M860 only prints partial pages

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your assistance. I had to take my computer in because of several stalling issues, and had to unhook my printer to do so. It was working fine then. When I plugged it back in, the printer won't work properly; it only prints partial pages. I checked the ink supplies, and they are fine. I cleaned the heads, they too are fine. I tried to open the Solution Menu, but it comes up blank. Can you help? I'd sure appreciate it!

No problems with the response times. I just noticed a huge delay with trying to reply to you and I'm using Firefox.
Okay, to answer the three replies...
Question: after this, how will I know where to go to add my printer queue again? I'm sorry, I don't quite know where/how to do this? Do you mean I just try to print some things again?
I need you to add the printer queue again by opening Print & Fax and clicking the + button under the now empty Printers list. If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB cable then you can select the Default icon and then select the MX860 in the list. This should automatically change the Print Using menu to 'Canon MX860 series'. You can then click Add to complete the printer queue creation.
If the printer is wireless instead of USB then please let me know as the procedure is a bit different to the above.
Also, you mentioned that the Solutions Menu isn't really needed. I had just hoped the troubleshooting button it is supposed to have could be of some use in repairing my printer, but it doesn't sound like it from what you say here? If not, that's okay. Just wondering.
To be honest I've never installed the Solution Menu so I cannot comment on how well the troubleshooting information is. Since I feel I know more than these guides ever provide then I've never felt the need to use them. For you it could be handy but having read other Canon guides I feel that they can confuse the user more than help them...
They just did the Repair Disk thing and it was better for oh, about a minute. I realize that's not the issue we are discussing; I just mentioned it to let you know I'm responding as quick as I'm able, and just in case you think Safari's weirdness might be affecting the printer somehow.
At this stage I would say that Safari is not the problem but the sluggish operation you are noticing when using it could be an indication that something is using resources on your Mac and this could also be impacting the printing. In this situation I would suggest a Mac user to check the Activity Monitor. This will show you every little background service that is currently running on your Mac and one or more of these services could be the culprit. An example would be the previous printer software. With older drivers many vendors install services with their drivers to provide users with information, such as ink status, because the then current OS did not provide them. This is fine when you have that printer connected but when it is removed and you use a different printer, especially from a different vendor, then these services can cause performance issues for the new printer.
Okay, I'm heading home now but I will log in again after dinner to see how you're going...

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages

My brand new HP x451dw only prints blank pages. I have never seen a drop of ink on a page since I have had and set up this printer, even during the set-up process.
All indications suggest that I have configured the printer correctly. I have communication from a variety of computers, ipads, etc. and all will get the correct number of pages to come out of the printer, all pages are blank. Likewise with the printer test page.
There has never been a drop of ink on any page since I took this out of the box.
I do not get any error messages. The printer thinks the ink cartridges are full - they are genuine, and they are full.
Any ideas anyone?

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict. If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this. To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac. Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer. Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well. I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac. Let me know if this works or not.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Laserjet 2100 will only print one page at a time.

I recently acquired a second hand Laserjet 2100 Series. Installation was fine but it will only print one page at a time, I have to keep pressing the 'Go' button, which is very frustrating. The manual tells me that it is in 'Manual' mode but not how to change it. Can anyone help, please? O/S Windows 7. Thank you.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time.

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time. No multiple copies. Each page in a document has to be printed one at a time. I didn't have this problem with any version before this. No matter what I do, change settings, etc. I still have the same outcome. How do I work around this problem so I can print a 5 copies of a 3 page document without having to do each copy of each page one at a time.

Sounds like a printer driver issue. Can you export to PDF and print that correctly?
