Printing win 7 guest, the printer queue maintains a loop and increases the size of the file

Hi all

That are running Windows 7 enterprise and on another professional machine, same results:

I share a "laser" on the USB printer, the printer works very well under windows prgms...  (all as administrator)

Open CMD window:

"net use LPT2: \\hp1\laser / persistent: Yes" command complete and looks good in "Net view \\hp1".

Now, I open the print queue window and try printing a text file:

"print test.txt > lpt2" command appears to complete.  (Same results for copy, etc.)

I now see the file appear in the print queue, flashing, saying: rolling/printing, repeating & loop, and each Flash increases the size of the file!

I tried to change the Port LPT1 and 3

Nothing prints, because I have to stop the spooler, delete the file, start the spooler to clear.

What happens on two different machines, I'm totally stuck!

Help appreciated!

  • 4508 ENVY: ENVY 4508 firefox launched the print job hangs in the print queue

    Hello

    We have a desire 4508 connected via wifi to a laptop 10 (x 64) Windows.

    We downloaded and installed the latest drivers available on HP and printers generally LibreOffice, WordPad or Firefox (normal web pages).

    But there is a situation when printing fails and we do not know why: If we try to print accounting information for the bank account, the print job is displayed in the windows printer queue but it stucks and blocks the other print jobs. The only way to get the printer to work is once again the restarting the printer spool service and removal of the print job in the queue (which sounds easier than it is actually...).

    We already ran this 'Doctor Print' application provided by HP, but it helps not at all.

    Is this a known issue?

    Is it related to the driver or more likely a problem of the web page in question / feel?

    How can I get more information about what exactly is going wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

  • HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615: Printer is deleted when delete print queue of the printer in Win8.1

    I right click the "Delete the print queue" option in "devices and printers". Who deleted the default printer and also removed the icon of the printer. The system then made the fax printer HP 4610 series the default printer. I re - install from the web HP printer drivers, but the HP 4615 icon does not appear with the other printing devices in "devices and printers". In each application, I need to select the HP4615 now that the printer before I can print. If I click on "Add a device" or "add a printer", the HP 4615 is not picked up. If I select "printer queue", then it shows the HP series fax and printer HP4615. How can I get the system to display the HP 4615 icon so that I can make my default printer?

    @Pietcar,

    I hope you're well and welcome to the community of HP

    I read on how you had removed the icon of the printer Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615 of devices and printers and since then have tried to reinstall the printer, which does not have the icon back to the printers and devices section, leaving you to not be able to select the 4615 as default printer.

    Here are my suggestions, starting with:

    1. run the print and scan the doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for all conflicts that may be causing the problem. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there is a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Let me know what the results detected please. (Select difficulty printing when you run the PSDr)

    2. run the HP printer install Windows Wizard to find and install the driver "Full Feature" printers and software and go through the installation to see if there are errors or if the installation fails at any point.

    Check the devices and printers again to see if the printer icon appears. Also try to restart the PC to see if that helps.

    Please keep me informed of the result!

  • P1006-duplicate entries of the print queue

    LaserJet P006 normally works with Windows 7 (64 bit) for several months. Suddenly, ordering print (Word, Excel, Firefox) generates 2 entries in the print queue.  There are a number of size and document page; There is no size counts and page "N/A" does not work.  Queue indicates that with no print size, but nothing prints.

    I went through all suggested HP troubleshooting step, download the diagnosis through the stopping and starting of the spooler, uninstall and reinstall the drivers and the evacuation of the power.  Other printers HP connected via the same USB hub works very well.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hi Robert,

  • Export the file to print to ultra-high resolution settings: 5000 dpi, 1x1cm

    I have a series of files for each with an artboard of 1024 x 1024, with different patterns on each of them.

    I need to export it to print at ultra-high resolution (5000 dpi, with a size of about 1 cm x 1 cm) to be used with a particular kind of new technology of micro-optique.

    How to export the vector images to display properly for printing to a specific Department and a specific size?

    rutipo,

    The relationship between the size of the image in pixels, the resolution of the image in DPI (pixels per inch) and the size of the actual image in inches, is as follows:

    Actual size pixel = PPP x.

    If you have 5000 PPI at a size of 1 cm or 1/2.54 inches, you need a pixel size of the 5000 * 1/2.54, or just 5000/2.54 = 1968.504 and something (in this cae, she is not a whole number.

    Up to 2000 x 2000 pixels will be sufficient.

    It is worth noting that for some uses, as png for web use, the final pixel x pixel size must exactly match the size of deired.

    This is quite normal. According to many things, machine (laptop / PC) must send a lot of 'orders' down to the printer so the file becomes huge.

  • HP Envy 4500: Print jobs disappear from the print queue and not print (Windows 7).

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500 printer,

    When you attempt to print from a PC with windows 7 OS home pro (64-bit), the print job appears in the queue and then disappears, but the printer does not print anything.

    Everything else seems to work very well know

    • The printer prints the internal test page
    • The printer does print when you use iPad2
    • The printer does print when you use ePrint
    • The PC recognizes and communicates with the printer (tried with USB connections and wireless)
    • Analysis feature works very well - when initiated from the PC and printer

    I tried

    • uninstalling and reinstalling the software (several times using software from different sources)
    • restart the printer queue service
    • Disabling the firewall
    • running printing HP and doctor Scan
    • following the instructions described here (the question is the same but the different operating system):

    Print jobs disappear from the print queue and print (Windows 8)

    • combinations of all of the above

    Absolutely no joy in any of them, and in spite of more than 2 hours of research on Google and forums search I can't find a solution.

    HP... can you give me a solution or is that goes back to the shop?

    Well I finally worked on the fix myself by trial and error.  I changed the security settings for 'All' and 'Creator owner' to 'Print' and "Administer Documents".  Why on earth they were not automatically allowed as part of the installation, I couldn't really say.

    Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

  • Officejet 4215 all-in-one: print queue of the printer

    The pqtestpage.png is stuck in my queue of the printer and shows the deletion, but nothing happens and I can't print anything until it emerges.  I tried to restart but it did not help.

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.

    Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.

    Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the document has been deleted.

  • HP Deskjet 3050 J611 series: I can't remove a document from the print queue

    My printer has an element 'stuck' in the print queue.  It got stuck when I accidentally turned off the computer until the print job has finished.  I use the "remote" printer, that is to say through the network. not with a printer cable.

    I tried to remove it, I went to the Control Panel, etc., I tried HP Support Assistant - nothing works.

    I tried to turn off the computer, printer and internet router for several minutes.

    The print queue of the printer says "delete", but it has been like that for 12 hours.

    I can not print anything else!

    Help, please!

    Yes, after the restart I had to go back in the case R Windows to run, and then in the print spooler and press start and the printer came back without the stuck paper.  Thank you very much!

  • Example: Deskjet 3050 - J610: printer removes items in the print queue

    Please see problem posted on June 9, 2016 and thread support. Sorry, I don't know how to go on this subject but the problem that I've marked as being solved is no longer is. It it is possible to mark as resolved and to reopen the thread please let me know how and I would be glade to do. Essentially sent items to the queue printing are deleted until they can print. They show in the print queue and then are marked "delete." I ran Print ahd doctor Scan of my desktop PC, and he says that everything is OK with the printer. I can see what the ink levels in the printer, and it printed on the printer succcessfully diagnostic information when asked to do so. I can see all of the information on the model of the printer, the serial number etc. so it seems that the PC can see the printer. But it will not print emails or Word documents - while he has done it before. Problem seems to have started when I tried to scan a document in and it would not. Printer is connected wireless and has an IP address, it doesn't seem to be the firewall attached - I disabled the Anti Virus software and it will not print. It runs the Windows firewall good that cause issues? I disabled that too, but it did not help. I followed the intstructions given by Gemini02 a HP Support Agent and it seemed to solve the problem but it only did it once and then continued to remove items from the print queue. I also tried to turn off the printer and then the PC, left for a while and then restarted them and that seemed to work. He already showed the printer as offline and printing and scanning doctor fixed that but when I ran it but still it only printed once and then returned to the deletion of items in the print queue. Grateful for any advice anyone can offer please.
