Printing problems with HP LaserJet 4050 TN

Hi all

I have a HP LaserJet 4050 TN and I connected on my desktop Dell (8 64-bit Windows) with a parallel cable / USB (TrendNet 1284).

When I try to print, nothing happens (eventually I get an error message from Windows 8 on the right that says: "error of HP LaserJet printing...) The printer could not print").

The printer is on, of course, and it is able to print (for example, test configuration page prints very well).

From the printer connection, looks like it automatically installed the HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL 5 driver.  I tried to update and it says that it is up-to-date.

Any ideas what the problem may be?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

Edit

Just to add that this printer model seems not support a network connection for the HP site. I try the parallel-usb connection since it seems to be the only option to connect the printer to my computer.

More that likely the IP you have assigned manually whenever you got the printer. The Jet Direct card is when you connect the ethernet cable into the printer. I have 2 screws in the top and bottom.

What I would do is a cold reset so your home network could affect its own IP address.

With the printer off, press the big green button, and then turn on the printer. Wait what he say cold reset on the display, then release the button. Connect your network cable, wait about 1 to 2 minutes for DHCP to assign an IP address and print a configuration page. The second page will show you the IP address.

Then go to your driver, click on Ports and change the port to a Standard TCP/IP port. If it is not available, then create a new port. Enter the IP address of the printer and print a test page.

  • Printing problems with XP and Lexmark-documents are just stuck in the print queue

    Original title: printing problems with XP and Lexmark

    Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a Lexmark Printer series 3500-4500 with wireless capabilities.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

    I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

    It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

    Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
    Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
    Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
    Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

    To avoid this problem in the future, you must configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

    Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.

  • Printing problems with my HP LaserJet 3200

    I'm having a problem with my HP LaserJet 3200. Or maybe with my laptop? Sometimes when I try to print, it shows an error in the printer status area and no ready button flashing on the printer. If I cancel the print job, disconnect the USB printer for 5 to 10 seconds, plug it in again, and then click Print - it works. I can print, copy and scan, so I'm hesitant delete the printer and add it again. I use Windows 7 64-bit. I have the above work around, and this may seem trivial it will work eventually, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

    Any expert know about this?

    I need to know more information about what is happening here to start. It seems that you are experiencing printing problems, but I can't get a lot of information that you presented. All the information show me is that the file could not be accepted by the print job. I'm going to need to know what it is that you print file type and size, the program you are printing the form, if you are still able to print other documents from other programs, how long it lasts and any other relevant information.

    Departure, we will perform the two resets in this video:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=31TbWMrTaFk

    Then, if you use a USB cable, make sure to remove (this is important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.
  • Envelope printing problems with M401dn

    When you print the envelopes with a M401dn Pro LaserJet, the return address is not properly merged, and there seems to be some random jobs printed in the buffer zone; the main address is printed correctly and properly merged.  I noticed the problem with greeting card envelope, and I've never had problems with before on three printers LaserJet previous (LaserJet II, LaserJet 5 p and LaserJet 2100).  With a few #10 envelopes, the return address is properly merged, but I always get the tasks in the buffer zone.

    I get the same problem if I fold a piece of paper in half and then pass it in the envelope feeder.  If the envelope feeder is empty and the paper feeds from the main Board, the return address is properly merged but I always get the tasks in the buffer zone.

    There no problems when you print just the documents.

    I seem to get the same results using the PCL 6 or the PCL 6 UPD driver.

    Any ideas?

    Hmmm... I could have sworn that I updated the paper type "Envelope", but obviously, I did not; with that restored, the problem seems to be fixed. Apparently, the fuser is powerful picky about the thickness of the paper.

    Anyway, if someone experiencing similar problems, the paper setting could well be the cause.

  • Problem with HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 MFP M525

    Hello, I have a problem with my printer LaserJet. 49.38.11 error on the printer and it rebooted several times. Can you help me with this?

    Maybe a "corrupt" impression containing poorly formatted PCL who cannot deal with the trainer.

    If you unplug the printer from the network and USB (if applicable), then poweer-cycle of the unit, the same thing happens?

    If so, this would imply a flaw with the printer.

    If this isn't the case, it implies that a rogue print job is sent to the printer each time that it is powered - on, which causes a fatal error in the printer, which restarts automatically, and the process then begins again.

  • Problems with nine LaserJet 1102w

    I've had my LaserJet 1102w for two days now, and I'm so far regretting buying and considering it return.  Here's why:

    1. it turns off automatically after 10 minutes and do not print after that until someone manually pushed the power button.

    2. when it is turned on, it will display only the first inch of a given page (Config test included integrated page), then it is the orange light flashes.  If you stop and then turn it on again, try again, and then turn market a SECOND time, it will print normally.

    3. it consisitantly fails to print "big" files (I quote because he isn't that great... i.e. a 32 MB PDF)-they gets stuck and require a complete restart of the printer.

    Is the only issue that I don't see to have fall wireless... which is good because we have not ALL wired devices in our House (which is why I bought this printer... most of the devices are iOS, but I'm working on Win7 laptop at the moment).

    I would love some advice or help get this printer to work.

    Thank you!

    * EDIT: I did so, it is updated the firmware lasted and I use the driver to date, both gets on the HP site.

    This looks like a problem with the mode 'sleep' on the printer.  There are a few things you can do to try and fix this problem.  First of all, make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.  If you plug it into a surge arrester, power strip, or rescued food, it can prevent the printer to get enough power.  If this is correct, then proceed to try the steps in the document following the link.  If nothing works, contact HP to see on a replacement printer, or return the printer to where you bought it, be it, you need to replace the printer.

    The printer will not turn on or respond

  • You print envelopes with HP LaserJet CP1525nw color

    I tried to print envelopes on our printer above.  My document is in Word is formatted accordingly for a #10 business envelope

    Under the terms of the HP help function, I found the info on how to set up my document print options, then it would print correctly.

    The first envelope printed on the side of Rabat; I have reloaded in Tray 1 and was ready.

    The second envelope printed with success so I thought that I understood.  So, I loaded the tray paper with 5 envelopes, hoping to print them massively.  I couldn't get it work when I tried to print 4 at a time.  I got a "Paper jam in tray 2" error and I was not yet using tray 2.  I erased the 'problem' and AN envelope printed with success, then I got the same error message.

    I had 2 envelopes more printed this way, but every time I got the same error message, erasing the machine and 1 printed envelope.

    Frustrated, I cancelled the multiple print job and tried to print envelopes one by one.  Now it does not at all even if I delete the phantom paper jam every time.

    Can anyone help with this?  It makes me nutty.

    Background info: my husband (network engineer) install the printer.  I have over 20 years of experience in processing and usually have good results with appearing on printing problems.  It left me speechless!

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The CP1525 allows you to print envelopes. There are two ferries, which can be used. I will describe using only the lower tray. Normally, this tray is used for standard paper.  To use the letter envelopes, you must remove the tray and then make some changes. Remove all paper. There are supporters of blue color paper. Two are used for the width of paper. Move the cursor to the Center so that it will load the envelope with the top to the left. Put the envelope with the printable side upward and the top to the left. Slide the blue paper holders so that they touch the top and bottom. Then push the envelope completely backwards and then move the holder unique blue paper in the front to make it against the envelope. You're ready to print as much as the printer.

    I select the printer properties. I indicate that I am printing an envelope. I had also to indicate the landscape. I also had to move the appropriate print areas where I want to be. Then I added my address and the address to where they're going. I'm not sure that I have everything but it should work well.

    I only did this, but you can use two trays with one who holds a number of pages and the other for a certain number of envelopes.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    Turn on the printer and 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. The USB cable should not be more then 6 feet. Make sure that the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. (not a station or a hub) Try a different USB port on the computer. Check that the USB cable is connected to the appropriate port on the back of the printer.

    Check if the Mac sees the printer is connected.

    Go to the Apple, select about this Mac, system report, select USB.
    Do you see the printer listed?

    Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.
    Double-click disk utility.
    Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.
    Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

    Restart the computer...

    Reset the printing system:

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.
    Click on Printers & Scanners.
    Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the name and the correct password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

    Try to print again.

    If you're still having problems, please try another USB cable.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.
