Won't print, no printer settings box, just a ding on ctrl-p

Whenever I try to print a web page using either ctrl-p or File Print, all I get is a ding. No printer setup box or anything.

In search box, type "Printer settings." Then you'll find about 32 other messages on this topic. (My printer, HP Photosmart Plus, was disabled when I added Firefox4.)

  • Firefox won't print with my new HP P1102W printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer

    firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
    When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
    Thanks

    It must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

  • Disableing the printer color management in the printer settings box

    Hello
    I am printing on a Epsonstylus r1800 printer using windows 8..  Printer has new drivers v6.55 The Adobe print setup reminds me to disable the printer color management in the print settings box. I can't find where to do this in the print settings box. Resulting in color that is way off. Any thoughts?

    Must be done in the printer driver.
    This is an example for the Epson 3880
    First click on Print settings and in the dialog that opens look for Color Adjustment but that differs with the printer model...

  • Upgraded to 29.0.1 on XP. Print preview shows but when I hit print it just "dings" and nothing else, no print. No dialog box apprears either.

    Printing from all other programs works fine including Chrome and Explorer. Ever since my Foxfire browser was updated to 29.0.1 I have not been able to print webpages.
    When I hit print the computer does an audible "ding" and nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I choose File>print, f10, <ctrl> P or "print" from print preview, same thing happens.
    The printer is on-line and recognizable by other apps.
    No dialog box appears so I cannot choose a printer.
    When I hit page setup I only get "format & options" and "margins & header/footer".
    Help!

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question. There are two things I would try. It is possible that the printer settings may need to be reset. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]] or you Java may need to be updated. Check if they are up to date with [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plug in check]

  • HP Photosmart 1315 won't print through print server

    I had this working for the longest time though I forgot which settings I used I am pretty sure I got it right, IP printer, using gimp photosmart 1100 and what not and it worked. recently i had to change the ip address range so i deleted the printer and reinstalled it (since i couldnt find where i change the ip its connected to).
    anyways, it won't work. it says it is busy or if it eventually does print, prints garbage.
    i even tried the HP drivers, though it won't find the printer when i specify the IP address.
    i have a linksys wireless g router a linksys wireless g print server though i connect via cable and the mac is connected through cable. this works fine on my winbox and i cant get it to work again on the mac. any suggestions would be most helpful!

    HP's drivers are written to use USB only - won't help.
    Queue name is part of the address for the LPD and IPP protocols. If you don't remember using it, maybe there is another protocol that works on that print server and I just didn't see it in my quick review of the manual. For example, the HP Jetdirect protocol doesn't need a queue name (called raw port 9100/socket printing in most manuals).

  • Computer won't recognize network printer - HP OJ Pro 8600

    My computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network, but my computer won't recognize the printer (using the host name, IP address, or otherwise).  It's maddening, because it worked when I first set it up a year ago and just recently stopped - I uninstalled and reinstalled everything.  My iPhone can pick up the printer and print wirelessly, but there's an issue when I try to connect my computer using the HP software.

    Hi @petersaaron , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're having issues utilizing your printer from your computer. I would like to the help with that!
    I would recommend starting with a power reset.   Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    AdobeReaderDocumentCouldNotPrint.txt
    Glyn Price Tue 17 March 2015
    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • One certain website, won't let me print several pages. trys to fit all pages in one!

    There is a credit card account that when I try to print the statement, the bottom of the first page "squishes" all on the bottom. The statement could be 4 pages long, doesn't matter, it tried to "squish" on bottom of first page. The first 3/4 of the page statement prints out fine. This just started happening approx. 3 weeks ago, Worked fine before. I have to go to Internet Explorer or Google CHrome if I want to print out my statement. And like I said, this only happens with this credit card statement, nothing else. Is it their website?

    Firefox has problems printing some styles in HTML pages that appear normal on the screen, but since this is confidential information, it's hard to give any suggestions on what to try, and it's probably not helpful to suggest hacking the page. The following are general suggestions.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?
    Could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. Flash should be fine, but you could disable the others here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any difference?

  • IMac won't let me print on both sides using my hp D2400 printer

    I just received my iMac and was trying to print on both sides using my hp D2400. But, on the option page, it won't let me choose "Print on both sides". Why? How do I fix it? Thanks!!

    From the HP Support site, have you done the following, as you need to:
    Install or update the HP software with Apple Software Update
    Choose your connection type for steps to install HP software using Apple Software Update.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03404580&lc=en #N187
    USB connection
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click Software Update . Software Update checks for available updates and updates the database that your Mac uses to determine available printer software.
    Click Show Details , select any available software updates, and then click Install .
    NOTE: Install all available updates for best printer performance and functionality. 
    Turn on your printer, and then make sure that it has paper in the tray and that it is in a ready state.
    Connect the USB cable to the printer and to the Mac. A print queue is automatically created for your printer. If the Mac already has current software for your printer, the print queue is created in the background.NOTE:If you are prompted to install any additional software for your printer, click Install , and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan , and then make sure that your printer is in the list of available devices.If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign ( ) at the bottom of the left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add .NOTE: Quit and restart any applications that were open before adding the printer to use the updated HP software features.
    Hope this helps

  • Pro 8600 e-All-in-One won't scan or print in color

    Hi,
    The printer used to print in color, and the scanner used to scan to color. That has stopped.
    (1) Plenty of color ink.
    (2) There's also a problem of losing wireless connectivity (I see the Forum has a fix -- I haven't tried that yet).  When I open Print And Scan Doctor 4.3, and tell it to FIX PRINTER, it prints in color just fine.  So, I place that color-printed page on the flatbed but it scans in black and white (and shows in the preview as black and white).
    (3) And, in HP Printer Assistant, when I go to SCAN A DOCUMENT OR PHOTO, the dialogue box shows OUTPUT TYPE as COLOR but still scans only in black-and-white.
    Help.

    Hello speakheart,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 will not scan or print in color. I will do my best to assist you! Just to make things easier, I will provide the HP document that will help with Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will allow you to set a "Static IP Address".
    Just to test out the hardware, could you please copy a document in color. Let me know if this was successful or not. Once you verify this, I will assist you with more troubleshooting steps.
    I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Help! My computer won't recognize my printer!

    I'm a college student, and I have tons of papers and files that I need to print. However, my computer won't recognize my printer. It is working and set up, I plugged it into my roommate's computer (a PC) to see if maybe the USB cable was bad; that wasn't the case.
    I've tried to manually add the printer, but I don't have any Printer folder whatsoever in Utilities. If I go into System & Preferences, Printers & Fax, and try to click on the Set Up Printers button, nothing happens. I'm at the end of my ropes. Please help!
    Also, the .pdf files for a lecture that I need to print aren't working as well; they worked just fine on my roommate's computer, but when I open them with Preview on my iBook, it is just blank. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Please help me, ASAP! Any advice/anything is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    need more info:
    what kind of printer is it?
    do have the drivers for it?
    do have the printer setup utility?
    what version of the OS do you have?
    if you have OSX at least, then :
    if you can access the utilities folder, you should be able to find the Printer setup Utility. If you do not have that , the n you need to archive and install :
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    if you do have the Printer Setup Utility, then
    open that up, it will open a window called " Printer List"
    click on " Add"
    - that will open a window called Printer Browser
    - if the printer is plugged in and powered on, you will see the printer name listed there.
    - select it , then click on " add " in the bottom right
    - if you do not see any printer listed in the printer browser, then try a different usb port and try again.
    - if you are able to add the printer, then try a test print, it should work with a default driver.

  • Printing using Proof settings results in very different output from Shop vs ID

    Shop and InDesign come out with very different color values using the same settings when printing with Proof Settings.  Anyone know why, or which is correct?  Here's my scenario:
    1. In the color settings for both apps I turn off Black Point Compensation, Use Dither and Compensate for Scene referred profiles (some are Shop only obviously).  Other than that it is default settings.
    2. I create a CMYK document with 4 squares.  Filled with 100% Cyan,  100% Magenta,  100% Yellow,  and 100% Black respectively.  Setup the Working CMYK in both apps to Coated Forga27.
    4. I setup a Custom Proof condition with an ISO Uncoated Yellowish CMYK profile.  Preserve CMYK Numbers and Black point compensation are both unchecked.
    5. In the Print engine I set Color Management to Use Proof settings, Color handling done by the application, and leave the Printer profile set to the CMYK working space (Coated Forga27), and Output Color as Composite CMYK in ID.  Black Point compensation is also unchecked here.
    6. Now when I print to file and Distill (job settings set to leave color unchanged and compression is off) the resulting files from both apps here is what I get:
    InDesign CS4:
    Cyan square (C:84 M:14.6 Y:0 K:0 ), Magenta square (C:2.9 M:84.9 Y:14.1 K:0 ), Yellow square (C:0 M:6.2 Y:84.1 K:0 ), Black square (C:67 M:62.75 Y:56.86 K:46.28 )
    PhotoShop CS4:
    Cyan square (C:92.94 M:12.55 Y:5.49 K:0 ), Magenta square (C:5.49 M:94.51 Y:13.73 K:0 ), Yellow square (C:0 M:5.49 Y:92.94 K:0 ), Black square (C:83.14 M:85.49 Y:78.04 K:98.82 )
    Needless to say the results are very different.  I went ahead and did some manual Profile -> Profile conversions in Shop to see what is happening and it seems like Shop is doing a conversion from the Documents assigned CMYK ->Proofing CMYK-> Printer CMYK.  But Shop adds black  point compensation in automatically for the final portion of the color  conversion (Proofing CMYK-> Printer CMYK) even if it is unchecked in the  color settings, Proofing dialog, and the print engine. 
    InDesign has an  entirely different way of "using Proof settings".  It seems that if you choose  Use Proof Settings in the print engine it just assigns Proof CMYK to the  document and Converts that to Printer CMYK.  Document CMYK is ignored  completely.  Verified this through manual conversions in Shop as  well.
    What gives?  Which do we trust?  To me it sounds like PhotoShop is doing the closest to what I would expect.. except for the addition of the sneaky black point compensation without being told to do so.  Thoughts?
    Matt

    Before digging too far, I need to understand what you're trying to achieve.
    With the print settings you describe you are instructing the application to perform two conversions. The color chain is Document CMYK (FOGRA27) – Proof CMYK (ISO Uncoated) – Document CMYK (FOGRA27).
    This is a little odd. Usually the final color space is a print device of some sort, not a press profile. This workflow you describe is a round trip of sorts. We are at FOGRA, convert to ISO, now back to FOGRA. That amounts to simulating one press condition using another press condition, which is rarely done because a press in not a proof device.
    The Proof profile is the print condition you want to simulate. The Print profile is the device doing the simulation, which is often referred to as a proofing device (quite confusing but that's the way it is).
    Photoshop Proof Setup has a Rendering Intent and BPC. InDesign Proof Setup does not.
    In the Photoshop print dialog, there is a Simulate Black Ink option. The InDesign print dialog does not have this option.
    There are two conversions on output. In Photoshop output, the first conversion is Document – Proof. The rendering and BPC options for this first conversion are based on Photoshop color settings. The second conversion is Proof - Printer. The Photoshop print dialog offers 3 options for this 2nd conversion:
    1. Simulate Black Ink Off = Relative Colorimetric, Black Point Compensation On.
    2. Simulate Black Ink On = Relative Colorimetric, Black Point Compensation Off
    3. Paper Color On = Absolute Colorimetric
    Please note the application color settings do not affect this conversion, just the first.
    For the most accurate proof #3 is the best option. That is not saying that absolute colorimetric is ideal for file conversions. It is a rendering intent that is ideal for a proofing workflow, and the conversion to the print device (the 2nd conversion in the output you describe) is what is at the heart of the proofing workflow.

  • Mac won't print; says print file not accepted

    My macbook pro won't print to a new wireless printer that I have; no matter what kind of file I'm printing (doc, pdf, jpg, etc), it says that the print file is not accepted.  I've even used a usb cable to connect it directly to the printer and it still won't print; My computer recognizes the wireless printer, but does not print to the printer; It does however print to another printer that I have wirelessly, just not the new one.  Any ideas on what I can do to make this work?  I've even called Epson (new printer) and they can't figure it out...

    Does another computer print to the new printer? You can try resetting the printing system Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system but I would suspect that the new printer may be faulty.

  • Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

    why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
