Does not print files but print a good test page

Sequence of events: downloaded a PDF from a reliable source.  Would not print, however.  Spooler locked up.  Used the online HP fixed the spooler problem diagnosis tool and finally a good test page printed.  However, nothing else well print the printer runs a piece of paper through as if it is printing!  The driver is up-to-date.  Help!

OK, if you are printing to a HP LaserJet 1020, with the default driver of PDF from Adobe and it is locked.

Sorry, but I have more questions...

  1. Using the PCL6 or PS driver?
  2. Using the universal printer driver?
  3. Does it lock up when you print from other applications?
  4. What OS are you printing from?  -Win 7 / XP / Mac / etc

Thank you

Mark

    I have uninstall and reinstall Full Version software, twice and I still can not print documents or test pages. I use the Photosmart C309a. Can you help me

    Last updated, at 01:10, estimated the printer works now. I installed the new print head, and as a first step, I have no positive results. Then I tried the printer alignment... that did the trick. The printer works now.

    Now, I wonder if it was the culprit with the old print head (alignment) maybe it's always good. I'll hold on, events, if necessary. Thanks for your help and mucho laurels.

  • : HP AiO 3540 3540 HP printer does not print more than 3 pages in a row.

    I bought printer HP 3540 one month back and at that time I had no problems but now I am faced with a rather irritating and page issue of waste.

    whenever I give an order to print the pages more than three 3, this printer prints up to three pages and on the fourth page after printing it half, cancels automatically print order I gave and I give over and over with a new page print order. It costs me more that it is wasting more pages then it is printing.

    All the pages I printed were in black ink. I tried not to print more than 3 pages in color.

    Please help, it's really frustrating.

  • LaserJet P1102w: Printer does not print more than 2 pages

    After I've upgraded to Windows 10, I noticed that my printer would print no more than one page, even if several page were supposed to print. (I can't tell if this coincides directly with my move to Windows 10, because it seems that the problem did not begin immediately.) I reinstalled the drivers and software and now it is printing only two pages (as opposed to one), but the problem remains. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get my printer to print normally again? Thank you!

    I uninstalled everything related to my HP printer (in the Device Manager: printers and print queues) and searched my computer for everything related to my HP printer and deleted stuff also. Then I reinstalled the drivers and software from the HP website. I have updated Java also (I have no idea how much this has to do with my impression). I have my printer is off and unplugged for one minute before Relighting. I restarted my computer and now it seems to be printing normally. Praise the LORD!

  • Printer does not print the entire web page.

    Why my new HP Photosmart 5520 copy an entire web page, even if I highlight the entire page or just the text? It will only print banners on the sides and everything autour. It gives me empty text or shaded areas. It gives me the opportunity to listen to samples and when I do, everything seems normal until I print. Help, please. I want to solve this problem before my husband is trying to do! Thank you.

    All web pages?
    Or only some of them - the more complicated menu systems and dynamic content on the sides/high/low?
     
    These web pages have generally an option for printing of the true story without all the extras - look for it.
     
    Web browsers do not always print everything they see * as they see it * nor can they still do that (because of the resolution of the web page, etc.)

  • Photosmart C8180 does not print photos sometimes partial pages in color, mostly empty.

    Printer was working fine, then he struggled, determined that it was ink. Bought new HP genuine cartridges directly at HP, worked for a while until what I put in the new document (genuine HP Advanced), that's when it really started to spoil. Tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver several times, no help.

    The problem seems to be in the printer itself, because I tried to print directly from a disc in the drive of the printer, he launched a blank page of photo 4 x 6. Someone please help, this has been a great printer, I want to keep going.

    I'll send you a few steps via private message.

    Printer worked very well. Are not all of the changes that I know. Makes troubleshooting and new drivers,... all I can think-without success-hope someone can help.

    Hello Elwin Cathcart,

    Thank you for your message.  You mentioned that you have installed new drivers, do you have the driver on the HP site or have you used the CD that came with your printer? Click HERE for the 32-bit driver (there is also a 64-bit) from the HP website.  Several times, the driver who has been issued with the printer is outdated.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

    How can I fix?

    Hi @AnnisMonadjem,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print to your printer HP Officejet Pro 8600. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    When you say 'LAN', are you referring to the network or you try to share the printer on the network?

    How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/WiFi)

    If you have noticed that the port is causing problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    HP has several Officejet Pro 8600 series.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    • Update the firmware of the printer.
    • Don't hide the SSID (network name).
    • What type of encryption are you helping? HP recommends WPA and WPA2.
    • You have a double router broadband? Make sure that the two groups were not the same network name.

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    To assign the static IP address, use the following steps as a guide.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note the IP printer. IPV4 address
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.
    • Restart the router, the printer and the computer.
    • Test printing and scanning.

    If the problem persists, download and run this patch rollup: resolving printing issues in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    • Try printing and scanning.

    In addition, if you are still having problems try the steps in this guide, HP printers - "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 7).
