Hi Ron,

1. how many printers is connected to the computer?

2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

3. what happens when you try to change printer (LPT1) port

Method 1

See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

Problems printing and printing errors

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/en-us?EntryPoint=lightbox

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you restart the computer the print spooler service and check if it works.

A print spooler is a system service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

To change or restart the print spooler service

You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

(a) open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.

(b) double click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

(c) right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

(d) under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure thatAutomatic is selected.

(e) if the service is not already running, under Service status, click pie Sand then clickOK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • the printer test page does not print in the Tools menu under Windows 7 64-bit

    I have printing OfficeJect 910n 8500 a install wireless. The XP machine can see the printer and can the printer through the web server in the printer test page. 64-bit Windows 7 system allows you to print to the printer without problem but unable to print the test page printer through the web server built into the printer. Windows 7 use IE9, XP use IE8. The indices here / thank you

    Found the answer! I had to upgrade the built-in server to use compatibility mode in IE9. Worked fine in Chrome, so it was not the firewall or network configuration.

  • Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print. Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.

    I recently downloaded Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print.  Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.  Can you help me?

    You have installed the drivers and software for your printer?  Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers?  If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

  • Saving as a single .html does not include the full web page (with images and properly formatted) as it did before! What happened here?

    First of all I must emphasize that I keep always up-to-date as soon as a new version of Firefox will appear.

    Now, a few months ago Firefox was able to save complete web pages as a single .htm file (including images and styles). Proof of this is that I have done it then. But now, after a few Firefox updates (sorry, but I can't identify exactly which of them might have been the one that messed up for me), while he was trying to exactly the same thing on the same website it is no longer possible. What happens is that now to choose the option 'Save the Web as HTML' (which I think is that I used to select before) it will not save the images and styles of web page, only the basic text and the home page anchors while he primarily save!

    I still have the old .htm files, I saved before (I can give them to you) and they work again properly on any PC (I tested), so it means that it is not a .htm file using the cache on my PC to render the images links to the file.

    I am aware that I can choose the 'Full page' option, but it creates a folder that I don't want to, so I'd rather have the old option to export the web page in a unique and properly shaped file that includes images!

    Thanks in advance!

  • Why my Muse formatting does not disappear when I open the site in DW CS6? I need to change the PayPal shopping cart code to account for my shipping options. I exported the Muse test in a folder and then created a new Site in DW using this file, so any CSS

    Why my Muse formatting does not disappear when I open the site in DW CS6? I need to change the PayPal shopping cart code to account for my shipping options. I exported the Muse test in a folder and then created a new Site in DW with the help of this file, so all CSS should be there, but I don't see on the page about the elements without formatting, any stop to the left. Thank you!

    PS: Muse will be the most impressive program ever when they fix these bugs or drop because not every user will be paying through the nose for Business Catalyst. Grrrrrrrrr.

    Best approach would be not to use the PayPal widget and instead copy and paste the PayPal code embedded in an object > object to insert the HTML in Muse. This way you can edit the HTML code to embed PayPal code from Muse and without having to modify the exported code.

  • the user will not erase & isn't in Control Panel users

    If I go to C:\Documents and Settings, there is a user that I never had and want to get rid of. But this user has never been and is not present in Control Panel > users. If I try to remove it from C:\Documents and Settings, it starts with a box to confirm deleting file saying 'the file 'xxxxx' contains items whose name is too long for the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? "I click Yes or Yes to all.

    Then he quickly paged home with a box titled error deleting file or folder that says "cannot delete the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: cannot find the specified file." Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name. I click on one button, OK, and I'm done. It will not erase. So I renamed this user ' broken but will not erase "other users on this list are administrator, Administrator.JEFF - A40763A256, all users, all Users.WINDOWS, by default, the User.Window default user, guest, Jeff.JEFF - A40763A256 (me). Not sure why mine has this weird kind of thing next to my name (?). In any case, I guess this isn't a problem.

    If I look in Control Panel > user accounts, I see that Jeff (Administrator) and comments - the guest account is disabled. These are the only two users ever.

    You can manage your startup to find out why your computer is experiencing difficulties of start and stop. Certainly I would test the hard drive.

    Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  • Maps and layouts: update of the failure or will not erase

    Select Page layouts et Cards fail to update correctly. This is the case for the unreleased updates to with no associated collection and the unreleased cards with associated No. layouts. In addition, in some cases published layouts or maps indicate the status ""update failed, obsolete, "but the changes make their way to the app." This happens for some layouts and cards, but not all; In addition, some layouts and cards work fine for awhile and then fail to publish or will not erase. Is this a known issue? [using publish.adobe.com app 2015.2.100 version]

    Hey Kristen - Sounds complicated, and I don't know all the details completely, but I have had similar experiences and started to notice the following, especially with the cards and layouts.

    Scenario:

    I have a card and use it in a mapping rule for a layout. Everything is cool, work the way you want.

    Now, I want to remove the card (I am resetting things for a demo session and want to start without cards nor the updates page with the exception of the default values.)

    If I delete the card first, I get the message "Failed to update, obsolete".

    To avoid this or delete it, I need to remove all mapping rules in all page layouts that call the map and publish all these layouts (without the map reference.)

    So I new and remove the card.

    I followed a similar procedure for the removal of the page layouts-

    The value of all the collections so that none use the layout to remove

    Publish all the collections that are obsolete.

    Then you can new and remove the unwanted provision.

    It's probably pretty fussy, but it works.

    I've had similar experiences with items and collections. If an article or a collection is used in several collections, I would get a similar error. I had to work on what article or the collection has been used in several places before I could new and delete.

    Hope that helps

  • print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase

    I have a HP 4620.  I sent a print job to the computer via the network.  It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job.  It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days).  I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete.  I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove.  So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted.  Can I remove the new print jobs.  Someone at - it solution.

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  • USB sync will not play on the sync in car package

    I have CDs that I ripped to my playlists and then synchronized on a usb key.  Will play on the computer, but not in the vehicle.  What I am doing wrong that the USB sync will not play in the vehicle?

    CIA

    Hello

    1. have you ripped music files and synchronize directly on USB?

    2. What is the file format of the files that you ripped?

    3. are you able to play the songs in a different computer?

    This problem normally occurs when the radio does not support a specific file format. If you are able to play the songs to another computer, I you suggest to use third party software to convert .mp3 files and then check with the question.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • The connectivity to the groups test VLAN / Port

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone has a soloution to my problem, to cut a long story short, I want something that could check the connectivity to each VLAN each ESX host.

    I got a 24 host, cluster VMware ESX based on IBM LS42 servers blades through the 5 grids and 9 chassis and these are all interconnected by cisco switches.

    The problem I have is the network suffers sometimes failures that mean chassis or rack switches have problems with some of VLAN.

    At the moment im migrate a virtual machine connected to each vlan between each host / chassis to ensure that he can talk to the gateway by default on this VLAN.

    Is there a way to make a little less manually? IM willing to put the time into something scripts but I'm not sure how best to approach it (or if there is something there already?)

    I just need DG of each VLAN ping each host... ideas?

    Thank you!

    Ed

    Hello

    What kjb007 suggests is doable, but will increase the monitoring you need to as mode conducive promiscuity in a vSwitch is contrary to all the security standards, benchmarks and guides.

    If you need test the connectivity of the virtual machines to the outside world, why not just set up a virtual computer on 4095 port which contains an 802. 1 q and let just ping the network driver on each VLAN. Maybe just for another virtual machine on a different host. If ping works, you have network connectivity. Note that you would need this for every vSwitch. This report via email/pager if something is wrong. Is no longer, it will take an adapter ethernet to promiscuous mode. You can also use the same approach to ping for the Service Console network.

    The virtual machine, put you on portgroup 4095 must be able to manage 802. 1 q and route to these VLANS properly.

  • HP Officejet Pro 6830: 6830 windows 8 8.1 cannot print from the windows test page

    When it is connected to 'own' windows - it prints OK.

    When it is connected to the windows where are the normal software like office, autocad, adobe and so those installed, the printer does not print anything - test page from printer properties is the first problem that means...

    Only "free software priter" is able to print something (test pages and so one) also print doctor and installation wizzard prints what it can, but not possible 'to normal windows print"... :-(

    It is tested on:

    Software for laptop - Win 8 Pro - installed - no. PRINT

    Surface 3 Pro - Win 8.1 - software installed - no. PRINT

    Laptop - 8.1 Pro - clean shop - PRINTING POSSIBLE Win (after installation of the driver full download - in a test with autopilot installed it does not print)

    Virtual - Win 7 Ultimate - installed software - PRINTING POSSIBLE

    (installed software means office, autocad, adobe,...)

    It seems that some components of system installed with one software disables printing from windows.

    When looked at open before printing to the printer - it shows the print job (which is not printed) for 0.1 second and nothing is displayed - also when the printer is paused - it shows the work and it is deleted immediately - left must work until the printer not suspended...

    It is not a firewall issue (tested), it has been tested on: USB, WiFi, LAN. No way to print something from windows 8 and upwards.

    seems that it has something with the option run the program as administrator.

    tested on some programs - autocad, adobe, word excel,... - when run as administrator it prints OK.

    If you do not have the option in the context menu try to hold Shift before made a - right click and run as admin

    It's odd - some print settings are transferred with work, for example, winword impression (office) without admin - PDF Factory (virtual printer) - rights and then to the physical printer 6830 - he can't be printed to PDF Factory

    But if you start winword as an administrator - so you can print directly or through PDF Factory hassle

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Personally, I see this as a big mistake by Microsoft - that something like this can happen - simple direct printing is not possible after you have connected the printer... :-(:-(:-(
