Cannot use manual feed, cannot print until reboot

Recent computer replacement, went from XP to Windows 7.  Same old Laser Jet 4000 since 1998, however.  It still doesn't seem to get along with Windows 7.  It is installed with only a local connection (there is no ethernet connection available at the back of the printer.)  Windows detects that it's here, acts as it should work.  Installed by plug & play, driver told me a USB printing Support has been installed, & name of the HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL 5 driver.  My printer serial number is USMB290030.  With XP, when I wanted to use the manual feed printer to print on envelopes & letterhead, the option was always there through the Properties menu of the printer.  Now, the option feeder manual seems to be there for printing envelopes (Microsoft Word), but not for printing format letter.

Oh, Yes, and it does not print anything until I restart.  I tried doctors convenience stores/printing HP and Microsoft.  Search in the forums, search the Web General, tried to unplug the USB and re - connect the new computer.  The HP scan doctor said that print USB media is not installed, even if installs it plug-and-play.  The HP Scan Doctor sent me to a generic website for downloads get USB print media, and I can't find a USB print media when searching for it.  Get current on all Windows updates.  HP told me to get the driver through Windows Update when I try to get (or update) through their website.

TI guys said maybe it's because it's USB & connector cable is the old sign in parallel at the end of the printer & USB PC and the old printer side is faced with USB, but his computer is Windows 7 for a long time and there the same printer model (in fact, we have 6 of these 4000 series to the office & the rest seems to work.)  We have also recently updated our network from Server 2003 to Server 2008...

Please, any suggestions?

  • Windows 7 Homegroup impression - do not print until reboot

    Before enter in my question, I would like to note that I am an experienced user and have tried ALL of the fixes recommended by Microsoft in this forum, including reinstalling the drivers, reset the print spools, check the firewall settings and reset homegroup settings sharing etc.

    I have three computers that are running Windows 7, two laptops and one desktop, all are connected to the same homegroup in Win7, run all the Windows Firewall.  The office is connected to a USB - a HP color Laserjet 2600n printer.  Wireless, laptops are connected to the network via a router, 802.11 g, Netgear.  File homegroup, sharing between these machines works very well (that is to say all the docs, music, etc. can be shared) and the LATEST multimedia of hp printer driver is installed on all computers in three.  I can print fine from my office, but cannot print from a laptop, despite the HP printer is visible in the control panel of these machines as the default printer.

    Firewall settings are OK for print sharing (I checked), the print on all machines spooler service is OK.  Files for printing show like "impression" (on the hand-held transmitter and the desktop), but do not print unless the computers on the network are restarted.  Homegroup print files cannot be deleted, but will ALWAYS display (despite the deletion attempt) when restarting.

    Can you please recognize whether it is a bug and if so when will be released the patch to fix.

    Thank you

    I also had the same problem with my printer when I tried to print to it from my laptop using the homegroup sharing printers. I had the same symptoms: I could send the document to the printer, but it wouldn't print until I rebooted the computer on which the printer is physically connected to. The only way I could solve the problem was to disable bidirectional Support. Once I disabled that, I was able to print from my laptop to my printer which is connected to my office.

    How to disable bidirectional Support is to right-click on your printer icon in the control panel and select printer properties, select the Ports tab and remove the check mark next to enable bidirectional Support.

    This isn't the perfect solution, because I will not get notifications from my printer when the printer is in paper, or when a particular toner cartridge is low, etc.. But at least I can share the printer with my laptop without having to unconnect physically on the office printer and then connect it to my laptop whenever I want to print from my laptop.

  • Cannot print to a printer wireless HP using Windows 7 computer

    I just purchased and installed a wireless HP 8630 computer and installed on a desktop computer connected to my router as a network printer.  The computer recognizes the printer, like the network, but the computer cannot print to it.  I can ping the printer from the computer and you can see it as a device connected to the network web interface.  When I run HP diagnostics, it allows to print a test page and tells me that all is well.  When I try to print from Word, Outlook, web browser, or anything else the computer it just does not print.  I get no prompt or anything else.  It just says: 0 jobs on hold, then disappears.   I can print from a computer using Windows XP on the network.  I can also print from my ipad with airprint.  I can't just simply print to the Windows 7 computer.  I can copy and same scan, but can't print.

    I read that all the prior tries to fix the problem, but it remains pursists.   Windows 7 computer is 64-bit.  Netgear router N.  Everything is updated.    Any help is appreciated.

    The solution to my problem was install the 8630 driver and software, then driver update for the printer instead of the 8630 8600 driver.

  • Cannot print using Windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842C series

    I cannot print from windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842 C series.  Windows and HP said is compatible, it can only print from other applications and not Windows 7.  Any suggestions?

    In fact - what HP means without out and say what they deem a legacy device (printer) and even if they included a universal driver (Microsoft put in Windows 7) and it should work without doing you anything else - it is perhaps not fully functional as it was in previous operating systems where they (HP) it supported.

    HP in this case is the manufacturer of the equipment and in all related case material - the hardware manufacturer is responsible for the materiel support (drivers, software, etc.)

    You can follow the advice of HP, if you want to:

    But really what they're trying to say is, "your printer is old - buy a new one from us so that we can stay in business."

  • Cannot print using HP photosmart C3100 printer

    Original title - printer problems?

    I have a HP photosmart C3100 printer. It has been giving me problems in the sense that whenever I turn it on it would be the test of the printer which is routine, each time you insert a new cartridge. I opted to leave it on and like that I do not lose excess ink. Now the red light indicating that you are in paper or a paper or door jam in the broken back remains open on and I cannot print. Any ideas other than buying a new printer?

    Hello

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their
    drivers provided. Check with HP support, their documentation online and

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    Hi @jhrhilltop,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I read your post and see that you cannot print after you install the printer on Windows 10. I will definitely do my best to help you. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    It does not resemble drivers for the printer installed correctly.

    Run all the updates of Windows on the computer.

    I would say to uninstall the printer software. Unlock the hidden administrator account, then install the printer on this account:

    Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.
    Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
    CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
    Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
    Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
    When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    If your computer automatically connects to your account after reboot than to go to your Start menu, click the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
    Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
    Test the printer.
    To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

    Test the printer.

    Please let me know the result and if there is anything else I can help you. Thank you.
