Printer drivers constantly become corrupt

We have a great mix of Ricoh and HP printers in our environment.  They are all connected by a Server 2007 Enterprise edition Server.  Some of them use the specific print driver for HP printers, and another user a universal print driver, also a mix between PCL 5 and 6.  The largest part of the problem occurring on Windows 7 (we do not have a lot of windows XP and that they use a different print server) and we are just beginning to see some of these issues on Windows 8 (just starting to deploy).  Here's the problem we have:

1. randomly the HP printer will stop working.  Everything seems to be OK on the server and the PC and it works fine in another PC, but it does not connect to the printer.  You click on print in any application, and he never made anything.  If you come to delete and add the printer you get problem #2. To actually fix it, you must remove the printer, go to print management and remove all HP drivers (on one unit just remove the one associated with the printer did not work Windows 8, but removes all the correction of the problem) and telling it to download again the server printer driver.

2. the HP printer randomly or in first install begins to print "strange characters" and keep printing until the job is canceled.  Again, we have found that to remove the printer and completely remove print management drivers and reinstall the impression correct that.

3. we have only begun to see this question on the upgrade the Ricoh printers themselves with new models.  Fault to keep the print spools, and the service does not start.  The difficulty we found was to delete the c:\windows\System32\spool\drivers\ folder.  Once you start the service, everything starts working again.

The biggest problem is with the printers HP (1 and 2).  These keep reproduce with the same users and we start to get bombarded with calls on our helpdesk.  I would like to know if there is something I can check to try and prevent these drivers become corrupt on the PC.

Thank you!

  • I have I can not reinsttall printer drivers or uninstall the old that I can't find. Help!

    I have windows xp and a hp color laserjet 2600n. He worked for many years, but now I get an error of queue and cannot use one of the microsorf office programs. Error prevents from print or print previews. I tried to go into the printer and fax folder but cannot as it won't come back. Also, I went into Add / Remove programs and see some drivers to uninstall. I tried to install new printer drivers, but they will not install.

    Any help appreciated

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

    AntiMailware MalwareBytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

    Cleaning of printers

    NOTE: If after completing step has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Instead, go to the other link and download and get and use the utility 'cleanspl' such as described here.

    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

    More information

    If you do not have the CD that came with the printer, download the driver here--> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=446154&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=446153&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=228

    Personally, I would use the 3.7 MB "package of Plug-and-Play" rather than the 86.6 MB 'Full Software Solution.'  In general, you don't really need all packages of auxiliary software that HP bundles with its printers - but it's up to you.

  • Fax print drivers work well through Microsoft SDK

    When you use printer drivers Fax and Microsoft SDK to print a file in WIN7 or WIN SERVER 2008 R2 txt, open the tif generated with windows photo Viewer, it displays error "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file seems corrupted, altered, or is too large. We note that, a little more than two pages, the issue can be reproduced.

    And then, we reproduce the WIN8 question with the same code, it works well.

    So, we think that the Fax driver may be a bug in WIN7 and WIN SERVER 2008 R2.

    Here is the code:

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Drawing.Printing;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System.Linq;

    namespace FaxPrinter
    {
    partial class Form1: Form
    {
    private button printButton;
    private PrintDocument printDocument1 = new PrintDocument;
    private string stringToPrint;

    public Form1()
    {
    InitializeComponent();
    this.printButton = new System.Windows.Forms.Button ();
    this.printButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point (12, 51);
    this.printButton.Size = new System.Drawing.Size (75, 23);
    this.printButton.Text = 'Print ';
    this.printButton.Click += new System.EventHandler (this.printButton_Click);
    This. ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size (292, 266);
    This. Controls.Add (this.printButton);

    Associate the PrintPage event handler for the PrintPage event.
    printDocument1.PrintPage +=
    new PrintInkEditForm (printDocument1_PrintPage);

    }

    private void button1_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    ReadFile();
    printDocument1.Print ();

    }
    Private Sub ReadFile()
    {
    String Nomdoc = "1";
    String docPath = "C:\\reports\\";
    printDocument1.DocumentName = docName;
    using (FileStream ^ stream = gcnew FileStream (docPath + docName, FileMode.Open))
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (stream))
    {
    stringToPrint = reader. ReadToEnd();
    }
    }

    Private Sub printDocument1_PrintPage (ByVal sender As Object, e of PrintPageEventArgs)
    {
    int charactersOnPage = 0;
    int linesPerPage = 0;

    Sets the value of charactersOnPage to the number of characters
    of stringToPrint that fits within the page.
    e.Graphics.MeasureString (stringToPrint, this.) Fonts,
    e.MarginBounds.Size, StringFormat.GenericTypographic,
    of charactersOnPage, linesPerPage of);

    Draws the string within the page
    e.Graphics.DrawString (stringToPrint, this.) Do, Brushes.Black,
    e.MarginBounds, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);

    Remove the part of the string that was printed.
    stringToPrint = stringToPrint.Substring (charactersOnPage);

    Check if several pages are printed.
    e.HasMorePages = (stringToPrint.Length > 0);
    }
    ' Private Sub printButton_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    ReadFile();
    printDocument1.Print ();
    }

    }
    }

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

  • P1100 printer margins have become smaller. Help!

    Hello

    I have a Photosmart P1100 printer that works fine with Windows 7 after I finally found a printer driver that would manage this old printer.  I use the HP1220C driver and it works beautifully!  However, yesterday I tried printing a portfolio of msn and the margins have become smaller.  The police are the same but the margins are smaller on top and both sides.  That's happened?  When I go to print a document, the margins are OK.   Also, when I try to print a 'Google Map', margins are ok, but the print is so small you need a magnifying glass and a flashlight to find your way at noon.

    Again, printing documents is no problem.  The P1100 was a great impression.  Today, after executing a test page, it says that it has printed 7546 copies previously.  As long as you keep food cartridges, it has worked perfectly until now.  Help, please!

    Chuck-L

    What he would say that you are facing a problem with MSN. Now, if this only happens with only one source, then this is probably this source at the origin of the conflict. I would first try printing from another browser:

    https://www.Google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/

    http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/new/

    In addition, you can try using a different driver to print from this request:

  • Is it possible to install print drivers only more HP Solution center?

    I have a HP PSC 1510v AIO printer.  I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro, and I would like to install the software.  However, I don't want all the other software installed, only the printer drivers and the HP Solution Center.  I have downloaded drivers from the HP website, but does not only of the HP SC.

    Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so, how get the HP SC software?

    Still no. - GB.  Here's what I did:

    1 - Uninstall all HP software (I only have the printer HP 1510)

    2 reboot

    3. run 4 batch files that remove the HP stuff.

    4 reboot

    5 - run regedit and delete the HP references all known.  Some I was not sure, so I left those alone.

    6. run CCleaner and the portion of registry cleaner.

    7 reboot

    8 reinstall the software using the CD with the software.

    What I'm left with is the printer is working and Solution Center will begin, but it says "no device found".  From there, if I try to install the printer, it crashes the computer when installing the software is looking for the printer.  I left this run for 60 minutes, so I leave enough time to settle.  BTW, to step #8 above, the installation repository directory shows that I specified in the first install I have done, so all the uninstallling I don't becomes less.

    I'm stuck!  Any ideas?

  • Add print drivers

    Hi guys,.

    When I reinstalled my mbp, I remember having the option to install print drivers which weighted about 1.3 GB, for the moment, I rejected it and now I can not install any printer IP (no AirPrint) of work, my question is: How can I access this window to install additional print drivers on my El Capitan?

    Thanks in advance.

    Apple 'packages' of manufacturers to facilitate the installation of the printer drivers. There's nothing more than that.

    If you do not have a driver installed for your printer, visit the manufacturer Web site, download the latest driver available for your printer model family, then install it.

    Once you do this, future Apple drivers will be installed automatically when they are available.

  • Photo library becomes corrupted transferring to NTFS?

    My iMac has been slow, so I decided to clear some memory.  I bought a Toshiba 1 TB hard drive, and the file format is NTFS.  I had to use the Tuxera NTFS converter to be able to copy files...  So I basically copied all my files on the hard disk without problem (including the photo library).  After that all copies were complete, I've completely cleaned of my hard drive and reinstalled Mac OS x iMac.  And my library of Photos on the hard drive.  When I tried to open the pictures library, that's when I realized that NTFS is not compatible for applications such as the library of Photos Mac...

    My general question is photo library become corrupted when converted to NTFS?  All my photos are now on the NTFS hard drive, and I don't know if I'll be able to convert it to the Format HFS + Mac on my iMac drive... (Without losing my precious photos)?  Would the software (Tuxera) corrupt Library of Photos when converting to NTFS hard disk format?  I'll be able to convert in HFS + without problem?

    Yes

    The photo library must only be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (logged) - any other format does not work

    You might or might not be able to copy it to the correct format - if you're lucky, it will work, but he can't - put the library on an inclrredcly format drive can corrupt permanently

    as for support to Tuxera or other third party software, that you will need to contact their support team-, which means no pictures somehow

  • IPhone iOS PDF attachments become corrupt 9.3

    We are having a problem with PDFs become corrupted when sent by iPhone users in our Exchange 2013 environment.

    The issue occurs intermittently, and whenever it happens, it is determined that the corrupt PDF attachment was sent from an iPhone (seems to be linked to iOS 9.3.x)

    When a PC user tries to open the PDF file, receive an error message "Acrobat cannot open 'PDFname' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded.)"

    The file is readable from an iPhone or from the Mac OS x native Viewer (does not open on Mac Adobe either).

    Curiously, the damaged PDF files CAN be repaired by opening the PDF said on a Mac using the native application "Preview" and "save under" from there. The resulting PDF file can then be opened to PC, Mac, Adobe, etc...

    I really want to make sure you that Apple is aware of this problem and is working to patch. It seems to be an iOS problem and not an Exchange problem.
