Won't print at all!

I have a canon Mp510 and have not had problems before but now I send things to my printer and it won't print. I re-installed the driver...nothing. I find when I go into printer/fax preferences I am unable to get anything when I press print queue. Also, when I have MP510 selected it says it's in use. Nothing is happenning. Tell me what to do. BTW, connect thru usb cable to the printer.
Thanks
Alison

Yes, you drag it out of where it needs to be and that removes it.
But first try going to the Print system preference. If you can see the printer, control click (or option click, I don't remember which) and a menu will pop up that includes "reset". Select that and see what happens.

Officejet 6700 Premium says color cartridge is depleted and won't print at all

My printer is only 5-6 months old, and refuses to print because it says the Yellow cartridge is depleted. I know it has not dried up and that it is still printing fine because I signed up for an app that prints out recipes every weekday (in color) and the page printed just this morning looked perfectly fine - the yellow showed up totally normal. The estimated ink level for the yellow cartridge does say that it is depleted, but how can that be when I have proof (from this morning's printout) that I still have yellow ink? And, according to the manual, the printer will still print if one of the color cartridges is depleted, as long as the black is not depleted. The black is only half-used, so why is the manual giving false information and my printer still refuses to print anything? Very frustrated....

Hey BoydJones, I see you are having an issue with your Officejet 6700 Premium and have a few questions. There are 2 major types of ink systems for inkjet model printers: IPH (integrated printhead) and IIC (individual ink cartridges). Many older model printers used the IPH style cartridge system: Tri-Color and Black. Most newer printers use the IIC system, but not all. There was a reason for the paradigm shift in the ink systems. The tri-color cartridge contained all 3 colors used in color printing: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. If any one of the 3 ran out, then you had to replace the cartridge no matter how much of the other 2 remain in the cartridge. In the IIC system one can change only the individual color that is out. As to the reason your color is draining from what appears to be little color usage: The printer uses ink in many ways. Ink is used when cleaning the printhead to ensure proper performance in print jobs, a small amount of color ink is placed below black ink to ensure a full rich black color and a long lasting printout, and ink is used to perform other preventative maintenance in the printer. For more information on how ink is used in HP printers please click here. The reason one has to change the cartridge in the IIC style ink system is to prevent damage to the printhead of the unit by ink drying in the ports of the printhead. The printhead in the 6700 premium is a stationary/permanent printhead and any damage of this nature could prevent the unit from printing at all. In the 2 cartridge, IPH, system the printhead is contained with the cartridge and replaced with each cartridge change. Thus, if one runs out of color and waits to replace the cartridge there will not be an issue of dried ink in the ports as the printhead is changed with the cartridge. I hope this helps to explain and clarify. As well, I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Black ink suddenly won't print at all

Printer was working OK for a long time. Carriage got stuck yesterday all the way to the right. It looked like the black ink cartridge holder was the obstruction. Finally got it loosened, and all looks fine, but now only color ink will print. Even tried changing the cartridge. Is something out of whack? I don't notice anything....?

Replying to my own post. Looks like I have lots of company on this site! Black ink is not printing for many folks! Is this a Windows 8 issue -- something to do with new operating systems???

HP Officejet 4630 won't print at all

Today my brand new HP Officejet 4630 just decided to call it quits on me. After printing about 5 pages without any hassle, when I went to print a document, it simply would not print. What has happened is that the printer itself will say "now printing..." with the loading bar but nothing will actually print. When I check on my Macbook Pro about the status of my printing documents, it will say "Printing, Starting on Page XX" with the loading bar a quarter full. I checked the printer for any paper clogs or anything but I have yet to find any such issue within the computer. The printer has brand new ink, it is loaded with paper (but not too much), and has never had any issues until now. Unless if I manually cancel the printing job, it will presumably keep saying "Now printing..." without anything happening. I've tried to actually print a document from the "samples" provided from the HP Officejet 4630, like a crossword puzzle, and even that would not print, and would just say "Now printing..". I have no idea what to do nor do I know what is wrong with it. I haven't seen any error codes or notifications yet, and the printer is literally not even a couple of months old with very minimal usage. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you have a pleasant experience with us. I'd like to help you with the freezing that you are experiencing on your HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One printer. This may sound a little ridiculous, but do you have the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? The reason I suggest doing this, is because the printer has a power moderator built in. It possible that if it is plugged into a secondary power-moderating device (such as a power surge bar, or battery backup), that it is unable to pull enough power to print, and that may be why it is getting stuck. If that doesn't immediately resolve the issue, I'd recommend downloading and running the most recent firmware update for your printer here - HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update I'm also curious if you're able to make a copy on the printer itself? The hang up with the apps could possibly be a network connection issue (as could the wireless printing on the mac), so it's possible that it's not a hardware issue at all. I'd appreciate it if you could try this and let me know the result. I look forward to hearing back from you and working toward a resolution for this issue.Have a fantastic weekend!

Items List won't print out all columns.

When I try to print an Items List it only prints out a few of the columns.

I tried to follow your instructions and got down to where you say, "Right click on template > Document properties" I get nothing about properties when I right click on any of the templates for the sales document. I only have the choice to edit a template, then save it as default.
Next, you said, "Change the layout from portrait to landscape" I am not seeing that option anywhere in the edit of the template window.
Then you said, "Add the fields you like to add and save it as new name" How do you do that? I find no easy way to add the fields I want to add while in the print editor. Am I missing something here?
I appreciate your help, and it sounds very simple the way you state it, but I am not following how you do this. Can you please elaborate?
Thanks,

I am trying to print a fillable form - - an application for a Chinese visa. It will not print and I get two error messages: "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." The latter is not true. Won't print at all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted.

PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.

gabri21 wrote: I have a very similar problem with my PSC1510 but only the colour cartridge light is blinking. I am also unable to find any useful information to set up printing in back up mode. Can anyone assist in resolving this problem for us?
With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here). Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here. If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here. If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed. I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.

HP LaserJet 5200 Print Queue Disappears or Won't Print Jobs

This problem has been ongoing for years, and can usually be overcome by either power-cycling the printer or cancelling the queue and reprinting. I have searched for nearly 6 years for a solution to this, but there was never anything that worked so we just muddled through it. But for some reason within the past few days has now escalated to the point that the printer won't print at all.
For starters: we're on Mac 10.8.3. That really shouldn't make much difference, however - as this problem has been around with other computers running older OS as far back as 10.4. Currently, the HP 5200 LaserJet is hooked up to USB (no Jet Direct card) and is shared on the network. No updates have been made (nor are there any available) for 6-9 months at least on the computer or printer. The only consistent part of this issue is that regardless of computer (we have hooked up three of them) the same problem persists at the same workstation (we changed it up today to troubleshoot - see below).
I have performed the following troubleshooting in the past two days:
• Installed and re-installed the printer software three times.
• Reset the printing system in the Print/Fax System Preferences five or six times.
• Power-cycled the printer, deleted the queue and reprinted approximately 30 times.
• Turned off printer sharing and turned on printer sharing to no effect either way.
• Restored the printer to factory settings to no effect.
• Tried running with the 5200 PPD and a Generic PS Printer PPD, no effect either way.
• Hooked the printer up directly to the computer and through a powered USB hub, no effect either way.
• Hooked up four different USB cables, two of which are from computers using printers that are not experiencing any connectivity issues.
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
Most of the time I get the error of "Printing-Waiting for printer to become available" when sending a document. It doesn't matter if I send it from TextEdit, Safari, Chrome, or any Adobe program - it doesn't print.
Sometimes the document will act as if it's printing, and the light on the printer blinks - then it disappears without printing. The Print Log from the printer does not show anything being printed.
Prior to this new problem, we had an older 5200 printing exhibiting the same escalated issues. When I went to upgrade the firmware (Firmware date code of 20090716), the computer and printer lost connectivity and the formatter board became damaged. HP replaced our printer with another 5200 - which is now exhibiting the same issues. The new printer carries a Firmware date code of 20071017.
So, under these similar circumstances, upgrading the firmware is not an option as I don't think I can upload to the printer without losing the connection and damaging the formatter board again.
At this point, the printer simply won't print regardless of what I do.
I have moved the printer to another Mac using 10.6.8 and it is currently printing, but that is only a temporary fix. Edit: 3.5 hours later, the printer is exhibiting the same issues, and I am currently SOL on printing anything again.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying - I was able to print a configuration page from the printer. I am not sure how to send text directly to the printer (assuming you mean by bypassing the print command window) - if someone has this info for a Mac, I can give it a try.
Additionally, I forgot to report the troubleshooting using the HP Utility (which made me think of when dansdaduk suggested printing directly to the printer):
• When hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• When hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
For a long while, I thought it may be something with the printer, but I believe it has to do with a USB connection conflicting in some way on the Mac OS, especially considering that we have had two printers manufactured at two different intervals across several years exhibiting the same issues. It's the only constant that remains, even when hooked up directly and not shared, or hooked up and shared across different computers regardless of the OS.

Owned HP Photosmart Premium C310 since 2011-01-03. Installed 5 new HP cartridges. Now it won't print

We bought the HP Photosmart Premium C310 on 2011-01-03. On April 6, I had to install all 5 new HP ink cartridges. Now it won't print at all. It accepts the "Print" command, makes noises as if it is printing, pulls the paper through slowly while it "pretends" to be printing, but the page comes out with NO INK on it. I have gone through all the many, many "self-help" solutions HP offers, on the printer screen itself, through the computer desktop "HP Solution Center," and also online at HP.com. It is still in warranty, so I am thinking I should just take it back to Best Buy and tell them to repair it. I'd really like to get it working. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
gake04

In the link given by 007Ohmss be sure to update the firmware as described in step 4:
Step four: Install a firmware upgrade
Check for a firmware upgrade that might help solve the problem:
On the product control panel, touch the Setup icon ( ).
Touch Web .
Touch Product Updates .
Touch Check for Product Updates .
Touch Yes to update. The update might take 10 to 20 minutes. Do not turn off the printer until the update is complete. The printer will shut down and start back up automatically.

PDF's won't print using Reader 9.4.6

Have windows Windows XP OS, Adobe Reader 9.4.6. PDF's won't print, but all other types of docs print fine. Get error message "Pages not selected", although I've selected pages. Tried different printer, same problem. Tried to upgrade to 9.5, but got error message after 96% downloaded.

XP will run Adobe Reader 11.0.5: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
I'd suggest upgrading to the newest version.

Lightroom unexpectedly won't print

I have been using LR for several years and have never had an issue with printing. Suddenly, I would have to re-enter the job several times, but it would eventually print. Now it won't print at all. I'm printing from a Macbook Pro OS 10.8.5 to an Epson R3000. I haven't changed any settings, cables seem fine. All ideas appreciated.

Hi @SportNSound,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6510 you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue troubleshooting here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge so the reset is not going to help in this case.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Won't print black ink

HP5510 All In One. Printer started printing in very light blueish gray ink. Changed the black cartridge (NEW HP ISSUED not refurbished) and it still didn't work. Cleaned printeheads, aligned printer, unplugged printer and still didn't work. I then ran out of yellow ink so I replaced it and it still wouldn't print black. Then I ran out of blue ink working on all these issues and replaced blue cartridge now it won;t print at all. I have repeated all the above steps. Now my magenta ink is low.
When this problem started all the colored cartridges were close to full. The ink has been depleted with repeatedly following the directions to correct the black ink issue.
I have put the printer in greyscale, black ink only and still the issue is unresolved. The printer is not in warranty.

Won't print cell grid

Using AW 6.2.9
all of a sudden the cell grids in spreadsheet won't print.
All the proper preferences are selected. Grid won't appear on Preview screen either. Would appreciate any hints.
Lou

Hi Lou,
I recall reading a post recently from Yvan Koenig regarding another printing problem. You might also try hiis suggestion, which was to open a new spreadsheet document, then drag the icon of the problem sheet onto the new one. Data and formulas from the original will be inserted into the new sheet, but the embedded print record will not.
I don't know whether it's appropriate to your issue, but it won't harm anything.
Regards,
Barry

Won't print at all!
