• HP Envy 4500: Print jobs disappear from the print queue and not print (Windows 7).

  I just bought a HP Envy 4500 printer,

  When you attempt to print from a PC with windows 7 OS home pro (64-bit), the print job appears in the queue and then disappears, but the printer does not print anything.

  Everything else seems to work very well know

  • The printer prints the internal test page
  • The printer does print when you use iPad2
  • The printer does print when you use ePrint
  • The PC recognizes and communicates with the printer (tried with USB connections and wireless)
  • Analysis feature works very well - when initiated from the PC and printer

  I tried

  • uninstalling and reinstalling the software (several times using software from different sources)
  • restart the printer queue service
  • Disabling the firewall
  • running printing HP and doctor Scan
  • following the instructions described here (the question is the same but the different operating system):

  Print jobs disappear from the print queue and print (Windows 8)

  • combinations of all of the above

  Absolutely no joy in any of them, and in spite of more than 2 hours of research on Google and forums search I can't find a solution.

  HP... can you give me a solution or is that goes back to the shop?

  Well I finally worked on the fix myself by trial and error.  I changed the security settings for 'All' and 'Creator owner' to 'Print' and "Administer Documents".  Why on earth they were not automatically allowed as part of the installation, I couldn't really say.

  Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

• Documents get stuck in the printer queue and I have to restart so that they print

  often, when I try to print a document or web page, or anything, the document will get stuck in the queue for the printer.  the printer will tell me 1 post pending but nothing prints.  I have to restart my computer to print the document.

  No answers so I'll try to help. I don't have a printer for many years. A practical tool, I used to use repeatedly put my printer icon on my desktop or in the taskbar. Try it! Go to Control Panel, open Printers and faxes, right click on your printer and choose Create shortcut and click Yes. Once on your desktop then drag it to the taskbar when you have a page open it will be more accessible. Open it and click on the printer and click Cancel all documents. From what I remember when the print queue of the printer is over load it won't print and clicking on cancel all documents throws to the queue. Check the menu options to set your preferences. I hope this helps!

  Completely remove iTunes and do a clean reinstall by following the steps below.

  Note that you cannot 'upgrade' from Windows XP to Windows 7.  If your computer hardware is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 7 drivers are available, you can install Windows 7, but this operation will require a new install of Windows 7.

• Cannot print with hp psc 1350. Tried to delete the print queue and it just says: "delete."

  I tried to delete the queue for hours.  He says only: "delete."

  Hi Richard,

  You're probably on the right track. Try this:
  Type CMD in the search bar (startmenu) and right click on cmd.exe in the results. Now, click Run as administrator. At the opening of the CMD screen type:
  net stop spooler
  Then type:

  del/f C:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.*

  And finally type:
  net start spooler
  (forgive me for stating a truism, but all three lines must be followed by an entry :)
  If you encounter this more then once, then you could save this in a batch file so you can just double-click the file to run the routine. That's how.
  Open Notepad and copy and paste below into Notepad.

  net stop spooler

  del/f C:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.*
  net start spooler
  Now, save it as a .bat file.
  Must be run ad administrator when used.
  Good luck and we keep abreast.

• Example: Deskjet 3050 - J610: printer removes items in the print queue

  Please see problem posted on June 9, 2016 and thread support. Sorry, I don't know how to go on this subject but the problem that I've marked as being solved is no longer is. It it is possible to mark as resolved and to reopen the thread please let me know how and I would be glade to do. Essentially sent items to the queue printing are deleted until they can print. They show in the print queue and then are marked "delete." I ran Print ahd doctor Scan of my desktop PC, and he says that everything is OK with the printer. I can see what the ink levels in the printer, and it printed on the printer succcessfully diagnostic information when asked to do so. I can see all of the information on the model of the printer, the serial number etc. so it seems that the PC can see the printer. But it will not print emails or Word documents - while he has done it before. Problem seems to have started when I tried to scan a document in and it would not. Printer is connected wireless and has an IP address, it doesn't seem to be the firewall attached - I disabled the Anti Virus software and it will not print. It runs the Windows firewall good that cause issues? I disabled that too, but it did not help. I followed the intstructions given by Gemini02 a HP Support Agent and it seemed to solve the problem but it only did it once and then continued to remove items from the print queue. I also tried to turn off the printer and then the PC, left for a while and then restarted them and that seemed to work. He already showed the printer as offline and printing and scanning doctor fixed that but when I ran it but still it only printed once and then returned to the deletion of items in the print queue. Grateful for any advice anyone can offer please.

• DeskJet 3050 J610 series: printer removes items in the print queue

  Printer refuses to print despite printing and Scan Doctor saying it's very good.  Document appears very briefly in the print queue, and then disappears.  Printer has been reinstalled from the installation and the old version of the printer disc removed.  It is connected wireless.

  The PC can read information from the printer and print a diagnostic page, so mechanically, it seems fine.

  Grateful for any suggestions please.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello @Moonfire24,

  It is a great place to get help! I have read your message and that the print job is in the queue, then disappears. Please provide additional information. I want to help you solve this problem.

  I suggest you to check the security settings in the print driver.

  • Printers, right-click on the printer and on the left, click printer properties. Then click the Security tab.
  • Select 'Creator owner' and check 'All' to enable "Print" and "Manage Documents". Also there is an option for everyone if you decide to choose this one also. Depending on whether you have settings of the user accounts on the computer.

  If you're still having problems, clear the record of the spool and restart the print spooler, for see if this will help: How to clear current Print queue in Windows Vista & Windows 7.
