Printer won't work!

I have a Dell 1700 printer running low on toner just now. I continued to use the printer until one day it just stopped working. Today, I have replaced the old toner cartridge thinking this would solve the problem. Unfortunately, I am still unable to get anything to the printer. I even went up to the installation of the drivers of the printer again and again this did not fix the issue. At at - encountered this problem? If so, I would really appreciate help in fixing the problem. This printer is very widely used because I am a student in full-time and I must get it facing up and running as soon as possible.

Thanks for any help,

Hello

-What happens when you try to print? You receive an error message/code?

Printing problems can be caused by cables that are not properly connected, corrupt, drivers, incompatible drivers, the printer settings, missing updates and problems with your printer.

Method 1:

Check the printer service is automatic and started.

(a) click the icon of the menu 'Start' located on the left side of the bottom of your toolbar in Windows 7. Type "services.msc" (without the quotes) in the search box located at the bottom of the start menu and press enter on your keyboard. Click on the 'Services' program displayed above the start menu icon.

(b) scroll down and double click on the "print spooler" service Click the 'Stop' button and then the button "Start" is displayed in the print spooler properties dialog box.

(c) click on the 'Startup type' drop-down list box and choose 'Automatic, ' click on 'OK' to complete the process. Choose the selection of auto-start will ensure that Windows 7 takes over the service of print spooler each time that you start your computer.

Method 2:

Run the open printer troubleshooter.

    I assume you actually mean that you have a printer HP Photosmart 8250?

    This printer is essentially - not * really * supported by HP to the title of the edition of Windows that you are using.  That's about what I believe it means when you choose the operating system on the Web of HPs site for your printer and you get the, "installation of the product with the USB cable and using the driver located in the Windows operating system _»<-- they="" gave="" some="" generic="" universal="" driver="" to="" microsoft="" for="" distribution="" and="" you="" might="" get="" it="" working,="" but="" it="" may="" not="" have="" all="" the="" features="" you="" used="" to="" have="" in="" an="" other="">

    One thing probably listed in these forums is to replace the printer inherited by a support by the manufacturer of equipment under an operating system, that you have chosen to run... That failed?  * smile *.

    Honestly - reviews and other for this printer back in 2004 I can say - it means that this printer is old enough (although more recent you).  I'm shocked they kept alive that long, really.  Looking at the Vista drivers and others, later are of March 2007, over 5 years.

    I think you you would save a lot of time and invest in a newer printer that is designed to work with modern operating systems, :-) grief

  • Dell 720 printer won't work with Windows 8 pro

    I have loaded windows 8 pro on my computer laptop dell studio. Our Dell 720 printer stopped working during this period of transition. I tried to reload the driver but it does not seem to have loaded onto the laptop.
    Until I loaded the Windows 8 pro and then the pro pack, indicated that the printer would need an update.
    Please let me know the best way to get it.

    AD2012,

    It won't be Windows 8 drivers for this printer. You can try this, it may or may not work.

    First run, delete print jobs to eliminate any print job stuck in the queue.

    Unplug the printer.

    Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

    Restart your computer. Make sure that the printer is deleted. Deleting Manual printer driver

    Download the 32-bit drivers for Windows 8 32 bit Vista or 64-bit drivers for 64 bit Vista Windows 8. Install the Vista drivers in Vista compatibility mode, you will get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at the moment (power on).

    You will find links to the patch/drivers to...

  • Network printer won't work with Windows 7

    I upgraded Vista to Windows 7 laptop, three days ago. Previously, running Vista, I printed on my LAN (based on a Netgear DG834G v.2) on an OKI C5250n printer. But I can't make my computer Windows 7 see the printer. An another XP computer prints normally.
    The Working Group is called MSHOME and my new Windows 7 is apparently set to share on the same workgroup.
    If I try to 'add printer' I get a warning that I can't do "due to restrictions on this computer" and I need to see my system administrator - that is me and I don't have what it can refer to!

    I succeeded in printing by connecting directly via the USB port, but has not recently by a spoolsv.exe problem (which I asked a separate question).

    Please can you suggest my next steps.

    David Foster

    The printer is configured to use the same port it was Vista, namely the TCP/IP port.

    You are prompted to do so by your indication of a faulty print driver, I have installed the latest on the OKI web site but the printer fails to operate on the network. Next step is OKI technical services I guess.

  • VBS silent printing won't work with drive X 1


    Hello

    For nearly a year I used a VBS script to open and 'silent print' a PDF to the default printer - the script continues to work on machines using drive X but with drive x 1 I see a message saying that the path is not valid

    Set oWsh = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")

    oWsh.run ' "" AcroRd32.exe"" / p/h ' & 'C:\MostRecent\MostRecent.pdf",,true '.

    The real message is, 'there was an error opening this document; the file name, volume name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. "

    I can paste the address C:\MostRecent\MostRecent.pdf in windows Explorer and adobe correctly opens the file and I can print it then manually.

    I would point out that this script vbs has worked for a long time before reader X 1 set to day - my client will not consider return to older readers of adobe

    Any ideas or advice from someone?

    Hello

    Thanks for the advice, I have now managed to get this working using the following script... It is good with Adobe Reader X 1 and Adobe Reader DC...

    Set oWsh = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")

    «AcroRd32/h/p, C:\MostRecent\MostRecent.pdf",,true» oWsh.run

  • 'Only form fields' print won't work on scanned in PDF format

    I am a lawyer and when I complain, I need to use a blank form of the Court which has a seal on it.  I want to avoid having to use a typewriter every time, so what I would do is: (1) analyzes the empty in Adobe Acrobat complaint, (2) fill in name, address, etc. in areas by using the function 'Add text', (3) place the complaint sealed, empty in my bin of the printer, and (4) print only the fields that I entered (i.e. address (, name, etc.) so that they overlap perfectly on the designated areas of the complaint of seal.  In theory, this plan works perfectly.

    I tried to add the text to the help > modify PDF > function add text, I add all of the fields that I have to, and when I go to print "form fields only" throughout the document is empty.  The only way these fields will be printed is if I choose 'Document', 'Document and marks' or 'Document and Stamp' of the section comment and forms of print screen, however this displays the entire form and I want only their name, address, etc. that I filled out in Adobe (because I already have the blank form in my printer).

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC trial and running Mac OS 10.9.


    Any help on this would be much appreciated!

    That you add are not of form fields, which explains why it does not work.

    To add form fields you must go to the form view change via Tools - shape, and

    then, use the add new field there.

  • Because I installed a Satellite L300 printing software stopped working

    Hello!

    I'm new here so not sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please do not hesitate to go to the relevant section, thank you.

    OK, I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop and since I installed a printing software Wednesday evening, my laptop suddenly stopped working!

    Since Thursday night, I tried to make it work, but I am faced with this message:

    When I load up, it goes to Windows error recovery:

    "windows does not start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

    If windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally"

    then it gives two options: Launch Startup Repair (recommended)
    Start windows normally
    ==========
    -then I click on (recommended) launch Startup Repair
    -then a scren called load' system recovery options «...» It is said: select an operating system to repair, click next.only windows vista listed operating systems and can be repaired

    If you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load the drivers for your hard disks...

    but nothing comes up so I click load drivers and it gives me just loads of records at random... and I don't have any idea those to load
    ========
    5 years report an abuse
    Additional details
    so I click "next".
    ========
    Then, I have 5 options:
    -Startup Repair
    -system restore
    -windows complete pc restore
    -windows memory diagnostic tool
    -command prompt
    ==========
    Startup Repair says that manually, it can't solve any problems

    -simply said system restore your computer is located in a limited State, and this action can not be changed... but there is no option to do so

    -restoration of windows complete pc says I need to insert a backup disk which I do not have

    diagnostic tool memory Windows says that windows blocks it
    ============
    but on restoring system it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
    but I don't no where... I typed in the command prompt, but don't understand how to use it
    =========
    I also tried to click Start windows normally, but it won't work

    If the problem is the software installed, start Notepad in safe mode and try to start restoring the system from there.
    Please let me know what options are available. Can roll you back OS a few days back?
    Are some that are listed restore points?

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m: I have already upgraded to Windows 10 not knowing my printer wouldn't work - now what?

    My printer no longer works. He said: it is not connected. It's a WiFi printer but I actually plugged in with a USB cable and it still won't print.

    I have seen rhe messages saying to wait at least 6 months after the release of Windows 10 for set to level, but as not, HP users were warned before the release of Windows 10, I already updated.

    My son was also a computer HP laptop that had problems with WiFi after upgrade, but a simple reg edit mentioned on your forum fixed that.

    Is this what can I do to use my printer before January? I think that it is an unreasonable amount of the time-out; especially that HP has never notified users to wait.

    HP must have published something of a fix because I downloaded an update this morning and voila - my printer now works as a printer wrieless!

  • Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 5 p - old printer printer does not work with this new computer

    Just bought new PC and it has Windows 7.  Old HP LaserJet 5 p printer has always worked with last PC (XP).  This printer uses the parallel so purchased and plugged port with a parallel to USB printer cable.  Thought everything was cool when it seemed that the printer was recognized as "new device" but would not print my Word document.  Review of the Panel's PC recognized some other strange printer, so it has been deleted and I used the troubleshooter to find and download the old printer driver.  PC now shows the correct printer but my documents still won't print.  What can / should I do for these 2 working together?  Don't want to have to buy a new printer just to get something that works with 7.

    I was too frustrated. Finally, I solved the problem. I bought a parallel to USB cable head Gear. First attempts do not work. Unplug the printer from the computer. That removing all printers (some I just created trying). Make sure that you do not have the test pages in the queue (cancel all), otherwise impossible to remove printer. Also update windows drivers (to add the printer section). Turn off the computer. Connect printer USB available on the computer again. Turn on computer. And. You DID!
