My printer is on but does not

My printer is not responding and my light printer is blicking green how to fix this?

Tammy

Press the hand print on the printer button to print a test page. If that does not clear the problem, then restart the computer and see if it prints after the computer has restarted. If that didn't work, put the printer in pause, cancel the document, remove the pause and restart your computer. Try the reprinting of documents.

You can find that printing the document received a low priority and is the latest in a queue. You may be able to change the priority.

With the type of problem you see it as generally fiddle until you get a result. It may be a great waster but it is not part of the experience that you get if you use a computer a long time.

    Rhonda,

    You have the OCR program installed?

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.

    Just installed update of XP on the computer desktop and Vista on the laptop.  Everything goes well on XP computer but the printer that is installed and set apart as before, will not print from the laptop.  This is a Photosmart HP 7160 and on my list of printers.  It shows that a doc is sent to the printer, but it will not and does not show in the queue.

  • Network printer is detected but does not install.

    I just bought a netbook Windows 7 Starter (32 bit) running, and I try to install my printer HP OfficeJet L7555 using the download of OJProL7X00_Full_14 (wired) network.

    My printer is detected on my network, and everything that looks like it installs fine and then he gives me a big red X and tell me that it can not install the printer at the moment, but it can put an icon 'Add a device' on my desk. I have done this and have since tried to use it with no luck.

    I disabled my firewall and antivirus but still no luck.

    Can someone help me?

    Fixed.  What a pain after several months.  After reflection, why I had two computers that work with wireless and two did not, the only difference I could think between them is the two who did not had fresh reinstall of Windows 7 x 64 while the other two have been underway for more than a year.  Made me think of one of the updates, possibly Win 7 SP1 may be the culprit.

    So I reinstalled Windows once again on one of the two who stopped at 50% of the HP 7780 install.  This time, however, I loaded only base Win 7 x 64 and different chipset, audio, video, LAN etc drivers.  I've left no WIndows updates occur.  Then I installed the last Full Version 14 software 7780.  Worked like a champ - found my wireless printer (which he always did) and then continued installation beyond 50% up to the end.  Once done, I'm done load all the updates for WIndows and other software like Office, Nero, games, etc.  Still works.  He worked on the other computer problem as well.

    Load the HP software before you let Windows updates occur.

    Good luck!

  • C309a Photosmart AIO prints ok wireless but does not havea analysis option

    I have installed, reinstalled, have chess 3 and level 4 uninstall many for = imes and cannot get the scan to work function unless I connect the printer using a USB cable.

    I created a static IP 192.168.0.6 and this works well for wireless printing.

    The wireless network test report shows the connection to 192.168.0.6 with an excellent signal strength.

    All categories in the summary of tests show 'pass' and no other network detected.

    The router is open, without passwords or encryption.

    I disabled my firewall/protection virus on the pc and the router. (even if it prints ok wireless)

    The computer is a HP Envy23 touch

    The operating system is Windows 8.1 update

    In addition, the HP solution Center fails to install.

    I did a "factory reset" on the printer.

    It drives me CRAZY!

    Can anyone offer a solution?

    Finally fixed!

    If someone elsehas this problem, here is what worked for me.

    Run the uninstall of level 3

    remove all the Photosmart left of files in C:\program files (x 86)

    Open regedit, find and delete all entries "Photosmart".

    run cCleaner registry cleaner twice

    reset

    If the network check out is enabled, you will find the printer listed under "devices and printers".

    run print and scan doctor and let it download and install the software.

    I hope that someone help avoid pain inflicted by is not HP do a correct uninstallation.
