Does not print WordPad files

I canNOT "Print" one of my many "Wordpad" thru Vista files (even if they have been generated through Vista). Even "Page Preview" displays a blank page. If I load them onto a memory stick however, I PEUX print on another PC using Windows XP.

Hello Tiii_4amo_x3,

If you create files with Notepad instead of Notepad, it works?

Try the following: right click on the printer and go to the Advanced menu, select "start printing immediately. Do the "activate the print function produce is checked" and the menu of Ports, allow bidirectional printing.

I would also try to see if some system files may be damaged.
Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

Restart your system and try again to print.

Please reply back and let us know if it helped to be able to print from Wordpad in Windows Vista.

Thank you

  • printer does not print Pdf files

    as above, computer then presents the pdf text, but I can't print sheets in the printer I need (brother dcp - 117c) any help appreciated

    Hi pcmcgarry,

    (a) this only happens with PDF files?  Do you get specific error messages?

    (b) are you able to print PDF files online?

    To determine the cause of the printing problem, I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Print another PDF file, such as the first page of Acrobat Help:

    If that file prints correctly, the PDF file that does not print properly may be damaged.

    If the file prints correctly, go to step 2.

    Step 2: Print another type of file (for example, a .txt file) from another application.

    If that file prints correctly, the problem is not systemic - specific to the Acrobat product. However, the way Acrobat interacts with the system may affect printing performance.

    Go to step 3 to eliminate some causes related to the system of the problem.

    The problem may be system resources low, not enough memory on your printer, or a bad connection between your computer and the printer.

    Step 3: Restart your computer and then print a PDF file:

    If the file prints correctly, your system may have been out of memory or resources.

    If the file prints correctly, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Turn off your printer for at least 15 seconds to clear the memory, then turn it back on and print a PDF file:

    If the file prints correctly, the printer's memory was too full.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610 does not print the files, but other things work

    Hello

    I want to install a whole new 8610 to our computer with WIndows 8.1 HP's OfficeJet Pro and I use a USB cable.

    I installed everything correctly according to the setting (green controls along the + "full installation") and the printer is set as default (also with the green check mark).

    There is communication between the two because I can print test pages (head alignment, etc.) for HP printer app and I can also scan a doc to the PC successfully.

    Despite the light the printer in the print menu, when you try to print, I can't any print file from PC to the printer, an email or a Word doc.

    And what baffles me, is that I can see the printed file go into the queue for a bit of treatment, then it disappears as if it's done, but it is not an activity of the printer.

    I completely uninstalled and reinstalled nothing doesn't.

    This should take 10 minutes to Setup, and I just don't understand.

    Thanks for your help.

  • New OfficeJet Pro 8620 does not print PDF files

    I have a brand new 8620 and I use Windows 7. My printer prints a few PDFs but not most other PDF documents. I am using Acrobat Reader XI. The printer will print from MS Office.

    HELP, please!

    Hello! Welcome to the @lmel forums

    I have a few ideas that come to mind, I read the issue you're having with printing of PDF files. They are here!

    1. try to resave the PDF files that do not print and then try printing again.

    2. update of Adobe:

    Select help - search for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    Once installed, you can restart a computer.
    Then try to print the PDF file.

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/troubleshoot-PDF-printing-Acrobat-Reader.html

    3. run the print and scan the doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.

    4. uninstalling the printer software

    Restart the PC

    Reinstall the printer: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers

    That should do the trick! Keep me abreast of the results!

    Have a great Wednesday

  • printer does not print wordpad documents

    my printer prints documents from my computer, but it won't print from Notepad or wordpad documents after that I typed documents.

    I've seen a number of reports like this.  I guess that you CAN print from other programs, such as your Internet browser.

    What is the brand and model of the printer?

    "Will be not print" means that you get blank pages or not of pages when you print from WordPad or from Notepad?

    If you cannot print from ANY program, that's one thing, but if the only programs that are not printing are WordPad and Notepad (and they print blank pages), the usual cause is that your (always an inkjet printer color of a certain type) will not print documents that are all black & white, but there is little colour in page the page prints.

    The reason for this is something wrong with the black ink cartridge.  Did you recently put in a new black ink cartridge, and if so, is not recommended by the manufacturer of printer ink?

    Or is the printer not been used for a long time?

    Print a test page using the controls on the front panel of the printer.  What is going on?

    Depending on the brand and model of the printer, you may need to (a) perform systematic cleaning print head, (b) print the printer test page, perhaps several times, cleaning the printer print head parts or related (c) manually, d introduce the new black cartridge of the type indicated.

  • HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color multifunction does not print PDF files

    I recently met a problem where my HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color multifunction wouldn't print the PDF files.  I tried printing from a snippet, Adobe Reader, Word and PDF Pen Pro and the document will not print.  But the printer had no problem printing other formats like JPG, etc. DOCX from the same computer before and after.

    What has happened is that the computer said he sent the document to the printer and the printer screen showed "Print Document" momentarily - but then the screen of the printer would return to the ready screen and the document will not print.  There are no indications that the printer was having a problem.

    I reinstalled the drivers of HP - no change.

    Finally, I was able to print the document open in Photoshop and save as a JPG file.

    I am running OSX 10.9.2.  on a MacBook Pro.

    When I went to add a printer, the only choice of HP, I got was 'HP LaserJet CM1415fnw @ Mac Book Pro' which is described as a generic PostScript printer.  It did not work when I tried to print a PDF file.

    I then removed the printer and reinstalled it - and I see that in the last step of the installation, I had several choices.  The default choice is the print version of air, I chose the version that showed a printer HP Laserjet series CM1410.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you

    OK, so I managed to fix it myself! The problem seems to be with Adobe Reader. I had upgraded from V9 to the latest version and it seems to be a lot of problems with the thel atest version. I tried downgrading to the V10, but again, the problem occurred (even disable enhanced security mode as suggested by Adobe). Sine V9 is no longer available for download, that I found myself stuck in a vicious circle. In the end, I renounced Adobe altogether and been completely uninstalled. I just download Nitro pdf (free) and everything works as it should. Finally able to print pdf documents!

  • HP deskjet 2514 does not print pdf files

    I've had this printer/scanner for half a year now and had no problems until a few days ago.  I use this to print labels for shipping on Ebay & Amazon.  All of a sudden it will not be printed for international labels, but it still works fine for the regular USA labels - tonight while trying to print a label on Amazon, I found that it would not print their labels at all.  These are all PDF files, so I guess that the problem has something to do with the PDFs.  It still prints another thing that I ask it to print.

    I get no error message - and the printer puts the paper through the coil, but spitting just a white sheet, with of ink used.  There is no indication that it has not worked, or error message for me to look it up.

    I used the tools of diagnosis through HP and it found no problem, & I've updated my Java, just in case where that was causing problems.   I was not to change the default values, nor have I installed all new programs on my computer.

    I guess that maybe an update to security or something that works automatically made some changes in my flaws that I'm not grateful.  I hope someone can guide me through this.

    Welcome to the kindli27 forums,

    I saw your post on the problems you are having with printing of PDF files. I have some suggestions in mind which may help you.

    First of all, try to update Adobe:

    1. Open Acrobat or Reader.
    2. Select help - search for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    3. Once installed, you can restart a computer.
    4. Then try to print the PDF file.

  • HP Envy 4520: HP Envy 4520 does not print Word files double face on wifi, only on USB

    I posted a question earlier of not being able to print wireless from my Macbook Air on my new printer Envy 4520. I then gave a follow-up saying: I had solved.

    What I didn't know then, was that it would only print MS Word for Apple Mac unilateral files Wireless 2011, but if the USB cable was connected, it would be too two-sided printing. Also, I didn't know that my dose to get the printer working wireless also gave rise to no sweeping wireless.

    I just spent two hours with a HP technician on the phone and work remotely on my laptop. It solves the problem of scanning wireless, but not the two-sided with MS Word printing problem. We have established that I can print a PDF to preview or Adobe duplex wireless, though. So the problem seems to be with Word.

    My old dead canon printer replace this one, I had no problem to print documents duplex wireless.

    Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Microsoft Forum:

    "If you are able to print correctly in Word when connected with a cable, then Word works correctly." The wireless part has absolutely nothing to do with Word, Word has no features built in wireless. Wireless communications are between the operating system and the printer driver: the word is out of the picture at this point.

     

    The sad truth is that since HP has faced financial problems of a few years back, they have reduced the test driver, especially with the less popular operating systems like OS X and Linux. A lot of windows users who use less popular programs like Microsoft Publisher have also more difficulty with HP printers. "They just don't have enough in their R & D budget more to test each program in each operating system."

    What seems the most likely issue. It is a prlobem of dirver. Perhaps in a future version of the HP Mac driver, it will work. Do not hold my breath.

  • C5580 does not print pdf files

    My HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one print and copy perfectly except for PDF files.  When you try to print the PDF files, whether on the web or on my hard drive, a blank sheet of paper is passed through the printer and I get an error message saying there is a paper jam.  However, there is no paper jam.  I contacted HP support twice by phone.  Every time they say they'll call me in 1 hour with the solution, but they do not return calls.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program, and now the printer works perfectly.  Hope this helps someone else in the future.

  • HP Photosmart C4580 does not print .pdf files

    With the help of a MacBook Pro, I can print anything using Pages, Numbers, Safari.  But when you try to print a .pdf file I can't print anything.  Instead, I get an error message: "opening printer connection failed: cannot open the connection to the printer."  Please check your printer connections and search for printing errors. »

    But I don't have any errors.  And, once again, I can print all kinds of other things, just not this or other .pdf files.

    Ideas?

    Well, by trial and error, I found a way to do it.  Press PRINT, then hit ADVANCED and then check the box that says PRINT AS IMAGE.  Then, it worked for me.  It seems strange that printing is impossible without convoluted to do.
