printer quit printing

XP Home and Brother MFC210C printer running. Get the message "cannot find the specified path". The printer queue also indicates a local document into it. Will not remove. A second office for printer icon also appears and flashes erratically. Tried to uninstall the driver and reinst. Brother Software uninstalled and reinstalled from the original disc. No help. This printer and PC were both put together about 4 years and always very well worked.

Hello

When I type the 2nd line, incorrect filename rises, I tried 3 times

Do this way:

1. open a command prompt window and type

net stop spooler

2. leave the open command prompt window, open a window of Windows Explorer (File Manager)

3. in the address bar of Windows Explorer window, enter

%windir%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS

Click the GO arrow

3A. If the directions in step 3 do not work for you, go to your Windows folder, then in the system32 folder, then in the folder of spool and finally in the PRINTERS folder.

4. delete all the files in the PRINTERS folder (it may or may not be files in this folder)

5. return to the command prompt window and type

net start spooler

6. close the prompt of commands with Windows Explorer and continue with uninstallation/reinstallation instructions.

  • Get "pdftopdf quit unexpectedly" error when you try to print

    I'm trying to print on a printer Epson Stylus Photo R2400 connected to the Mac Mini. I tried to reinstall the printer driver. Did not work. I then redownloaded the sw Epson printer (has removed the printer from the printers installed and selected again - reinstalled in the system preferences, he got an error message that the printer driver is missing some parts and I would like to fix it - I clicked on repair and it was installing something.) Later he has been admitted in the list of printers.

    I also downloaded the application Epson uninstall to completely remove everything and the printer driver before reinstalling the sw. I get the above error and cannot print. I can print on my Brother laser printer, so this isn't in itself a printing problem, but somehow I bollixed the Epson driver or something in the operating system it uses / needs to be able to print.

    The driver appears to be installed correctly, I can * see * the printer - I can open the printer utility application and work in (checking ink, the ink levels, etc.).

    But whenever I try to print on the Epson inkjet, I get the error "pdftopdf quit unexpectedly.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.

    I was using the printer as a copier, placing documents on the glass and close the cover.   About 8 different documents, then the printer just quit so that, in the middle of printing a page printed.   Green power light is on, but when I push it, it is not off. Touch control panel does not respond.  Nothing seems to function.   Tried to unplug the power cord at the back, unplug the unit from the wall and disconnect the power supply cord.  Plugged everything back in after about 10 minutes to be disconnected and no help.  Green power light turns on but no function doesn't seem to work.  Have windows 7, 64 bit HP computer, but the copier function should work even if not connected to the computer.

    Appreciate any help.   Thank you

    It seems that the firmware may have had a fatal error occurs. I'm afraid there is little you can do to solve the problem. Try the procedure described in the document below. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer.

    My printer quit 4500 print but seems to be the signal by computer, it sends just 3 sheets with nothing on it.

    I also have a 7 hp windows computer.

    Shane Merci for your comments. On this printer, I worked all day. I have restored my computer, used unhide.exe and about 8 others

    solutions. I guess I learned a lesson. You asked if I tried a color image. The reason was that I couldn't believe that I was low on ink.

    It's a nice new printer and the computer, but the color cartridge was full b & w was empty. I didn't try the obvious.

  • pictures 1.0.1 quit unexpectedly after printing on HP Envy 5640

    Hello

    I just bought a HP Envy 5640 printer.

    It works very well, but every time I have to print a photo in Photo 1.0.1 NICU OS X 10.10.5, Photos will be leaving after that print is sent to the printer.

    The photo prints fine, but needs pictures to be restarted every time.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Any solution?

    Thank you.

    I've not seen posted here - but since you are more than a year behind in updates, bug fixes and new features, you can see a verry old bug that has been fixed many years ago for people who follow to this day - unless he ia a clue right for you m = not updated I suggest you backup and update of OS X Sierra = and Photos 2.0 - this never can solve your problem

  • 6500 printer quit printing black

    I'm having a problem that appears, from the info in the forum, to be fairly common...  My 6500 printer suddenly stopped printing anything black ink.  I too have gone through all the diagnostic tests and have tried to replace the cartridge, even if the screen says that it is almost full.  I really hope that someone can come up with a solution...  I've been a loyal user of the HP printer for as long as I had a computer at home, but this could be a game changer!

    @mtaylormusic - I would like to begin by troubleshooting with this document here. It will give a steps to take to try to fix a problem with print quality for your printer model. When do printhead cleaning be sure to make the different levels because of the progression of levels, more energetic that they are trying to remove clogs nozzles.

    If after completing the document, you find that you still have a problem of quality output, I would do a manual cleaning of the print head and cartridges. The reason to do that is to make sure that built up on these pieces is not the reason for the wrong exit when printing documents.
    The Manual shows how to clean the parts on the hope of 177 - 123.I of pages that it helps.

  • Cannot get rid of 3 failure windows 'windows install' who quit with 96 percent finished, my printer hp psc 2110 is already installed and functional.

    Computer hp pavilion ze4900 laptop use with the Windows XP operating system and a range of printers hp psc 2110, both were Setup at the same time.

    Recently, whenever I turn on the computer, these windows are: firstly, they say '2100 Tour', then a '2100 Help Installer", then a"21-22-Trb '... "Please wait while Windows gathers information & configure 2100", then a line goes up to 96% completion and stops, after which nothing moves... as freezes.  I click next to them and they leave, but it happens every time I start.  Anyone has any ideas... Thank you!

    Hi Elizabeth,.

    This happens on reboot all? Check if the installation CD / DVD is in the drive. Otherwise you will have to click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs-> your printer and click on repair.

  • Quit smoking black print

    My Officejet 7000 Wide Format has stopped printing black. I replaced the cartridge, cleaned the heads, aligned the cartridges but nothing. Nothing prints in black, but all my controls HP tell me that everything is fine. Help, please. I really love this printer and got lost in my work without him.

    Okay, it looks like you have tried the usual troubleshooting as described here

    If the printer is out of warranty, something that could be useful to fire suddenly is remove the printhead & soaking as described by Bob in the post below.

    (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
    (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
    (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
    (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
    (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

    Can you let me know how you get on?

    Thank you

  • HP 4630 quit print with my Mac by USB cable

    My Mac will print on my HP 4630 all-in-one - I had used USB cable.  He has done for about 5 months, but now I have the "looking for printer and not connected" message.  Please help because nothing has changed.  Thanks, Tammy

    Hey @tammyj1000 ,

    Thank you very much for the question, now lets get you an answer!

    I understand that you are no longer able to print from your HP Officejet 4630 that is connect to your Mac via USB.

    Did you check both ends of the cable to make sure it is plugged in back? I recommend you unplug both ends and blow the slits and insert the cable again.

    Have you upgraded to all operating systems?

    When you go to the folder of the printer that you see your printer there? Or is it not there?

    Let me know the answers to the questions above and the results of autocorrelation. Have a great day!
