    Hello destiny.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

    • What is the brand and model of the printer?

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Disable Antivirus

    If you have installed any third party such as antivirus or firewall security software, I would say you temporarily disable and check if it works.

    Disable the anti-virus software

     

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

    Method 2: Update the drivers for your printer.

    For more information, see these links:

    d. on the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.
    e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation,
    type the password or provide confirmation.

    If nothing works, then manually add the printer to the local port and check.

    Method 4: Manually add the printer to the local port.

    a. go to control panel and click on devices and printers.
    b. click Add a printer, and then select Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list is Local Port. Don't change that.

  • HP 4650: HP 4650 black print cartridge (63 HP) will not be printed

    In February 2016, I bought a new HP 4650 printer for a seasonal vacation home and it worked perfectly during the 3 months we were there. We returned home in July 2016 of holiday and the 63 HP black cartridge would not work and a new one has been purchased and installed. We have used the printer in just 2 weeks and not very well. Now in October 2016, we go home and again once the printer will not print black cartridge HP 63 is shown as almost empty of ink, which, after only 2 weeks of light, use in July.

    Why don't the 63 HP black print now even if it shows is not empty no ink? And why the cartridge last a very short time, two weeks of very clear use in this case?

    What is happening is that the ink print heads are drying up a lack of use.

  • ENVY 100 all-in-one: Envy 100 printer all-in-one - will not glossy paper 250 gsm

    I note others have had the same problem which seems to have been set by a semi of hardware reset. How can I get the required for the semi reset procedure?

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the @noxasforums.

    I saw your post about your Envy 100 not pulling by glossy paper 250 gsm and wanted to answer you! I checked the specs for the Envy 100 and as you can see below, the printer should take in if you use a format supported below. Maybe you can try the steps from the link I posted for you. I think the cleaning rollers should help. You can also try to select different types of paper to see if one works better than the other.

    Let me know what happens!

    Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall jack, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    Hello

    • Have you tried to connect your printer manually (not through the router, but via a USB connection)?

    The problem is related to the HP software. Then I suggest that you contact HP support for assistance.

  • Printer LaserJet Pro (P1102W) will not contribute to that.

    I don't use a lot of this printer.   I have printed probably less than 50 sheets since.  It is on the original cartridge when I bought it and the guarantee missed.    It will not feed into.  I tried to plug it into a different plug in another room.  I tried with and without the USB cable is connected.  I also tried a different power cord.   It will not feed into.

    I hope that I shouldn't take in repairs becaue, I probably won't.  It would probably be cheaper to buy another, but another brand.   I'm just glad I didn't buy the spare pricy cartridge before he died.  Any suggestions on how to register this printer?  I really liked it is of compact size.

    Hi @Cristan ,

    I see that you are having problems with the printer power on/off do not. I would like to help.

    You have pretty much covered all the steps I have provided. I met this document you can check where something might have been missed. Printer will not turn on or respond when the power button or power switch is pressed.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    If the power cord of the printer has worked on a monitor, we can rule out the power cord at the origin of the problem.

    I would try another outlet using an another breaker, just to rule out it.

    You may contact HP directly if you like, to see if they have a replacement option for you or for a trade in option to 800-474-6836.

    Hi Gingercoconut,

    I see by your post that you are unable to delete the job stuck in the print queue.
    I'll be happy to help you.

    I've included a URL to find out how to restart the print spooler and empty folder of spooling print to delete the job stuck in the queue. How to clear the current queue in Windows Vista & Windows 7.

    You will need to go back and try and delete the task in the queue again.

    I hope this helps.

  • Printer HP Photosmart B109am - will not print a worksheet.

    I just installed this printer on my desk.  The problem I have is that it will not print a worksheet that I made previously, it allows to print word documents.  I have Windows XP on my computer.  When I try to print the worksheet, an error appears on my computer saying: "Microsoft Works, out of Memory."

    Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

    Hello.    Since my last post, I was able to fix my problem.   Before when I tried to print landscape I just went into my layout, orientation and clicked on the landscape.   But with this new printer, I also change the margins so and it seems to work.   I don't know why this happens with a spreadsheet, as I've not had to do with a word document.

    You driver is the wrong driver or it is damaged. Suggest that you turn the printer off. Now to the computer go into devices and printers and delete the printer. Now turn off the computer and turn it back on and make sure that the printer is no longer in devices and printers. Now turn on the printer and the computer should see the printer and try reloading. If she does not see if it works now. If it does not report back for further instructions.

  • Envy4500: Computer says printer is offline and will not print, but it's online

    I jumped through all the hoops of tech and there seems to be no perfect solution to this problem. However, can I change my settings wireless direct on with security on without security on Off, and at any time, I am doing this, work in Quebec will begin. But I have to do it almost everytime I have print something. I need to scan from my remote IO. Let me know if HP has a better solution. Obviously, the computer is not properly talk to the printer. I started having this problem after Windows 10, but yet curiously, so I don't think it's a matter of Windows.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    You can try this:

    Creating a TCP IP port

    1. print a Configuration Page to get the printer IPv4 address (you can also tap on the icon wireless on the front panel of your printer to obtain the IP address)
    2. on your PC, go to the Panel control, devices and printers, right-click the printer and on the left, click printer properties, select the Ports tab.
    3. click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
    4. Enter the IP address of the printer.

    Note that you can ALWAYS go back to the original port the HP software installed by selecting the HP port on the Ports tab (in the properties of the printer)

    Hope that helps!

    Do you mean that you have downloaded the Epson driver?

    Try using the wizard adding printer in the Control Panel, printers. In the wizard, select EPSON under manufacturer. If you don't see your printer in the list, click the Windows Update button. It will take several minutes (about 20) be patient, Windows updates the list. You should see a hard drive activity during the update.
