Print jobs from any program in sandbox stuck in the print queue

From OS to install native printer driver driver HP

Do not remember if the problem exists with the native driver.

Problems with MSIE8 and Firefox 8.0

A search does not show this issue has been addressed in other positions, dealing with queue/spooler problems: my problem is specific to the time MSIE8 and Firefox 8.0, only.  When I launched a print of one of these browsers, it gets stuck.  When I continue to send, all jobs will accumulate in the queue.  Can I remove the bottom of the list to the top, but remains the last job.

I have the driver set to give a preview before printing (this print preview works normally with word processing programs, such as Notepad, WordPad, etc.), but after printing with a browser, the progress bar showing that prints the document appears, then disappears... and, further, nothing happens.

I can get the last task in the queue with several tests on the Windows printer troubleshooting.  Also, I can get the preview before print the stuck document to show if I opened, for example, WordPad, type a few characters in there, then click on print.

When you print a page from WordPad, pasted from the preview browser now normally work.  So if I hit Cancel for that, then will appear a preview before printing to the WordPad document, and then I cancel that as well.

How can it be specific times of my browsers, but other programs are functioning normally?  And print from another program dislodges the stuck job?  If it was a browser or another, it would be different, but both at the same time...?

[edit] It was later discovered that any program that runs under sandbox protection would fail print normally.  Even an editor of simple text exposed the problem. However, other users of the same software protection, do not experience this problem. [exit]

It was necessary to return to an image at the beginning of the operating system partition, taken before the long HP software installed.  All the installation customization operating system and program after that time was, of course lost and must be redone.

After that, the printer has failed and was replaced.

The new printer is fully functional, both for printing and scanning, just boot into the operating system and plug in the USB cable.  After a few seconds, a message '' printer recognized '' appears on the screen - and nothing is more to do.

It is with a dual-boot in LinuxMint, thanks to the excellent support from the division of the HP printer for a number of GNU/Linux distributions.

Windows 7 will probably have a native print media, but if scanning support is absent, I do not intend to reinstall the HP software long, but instead of it just run Linux for all printing and scanning support and return to Windows as needed.

Furthermore, installing Linux shows ink levels, and I don't think that the base HP drivers for MS Windows will do.
