Problem with printer Laserjet 4 M Plus printer

I have a Laserjet 4 M Plus printer which I had connected directly to my office with Windows 98.  The printer worked fine with the office.  Well, I've upgraded the desktop of Windows XP and now I can't the printer to print at all. The printer has been added to the desktop, but it will not print a page to test the computer or any program at all.  Your help is greatly appreciated in getting my printer works with XP.  Thank you!

  • Connected HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus status reads "problem with printer."

    I could just ePrint on an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus replacement and them have not used for printing yet. I was in the devices page to manage the settings and change an address for one of my devices. The newly added column 8600 State reads 'Online', but also 'problem with printer '. Instructions I was referring to the display panel of the unit for Outlook2003 on the given problem. A check of the display surface showed no information, just a typical home screen. I checked through the display print and found no problems-all functionality is enabled and fully functioning. I checked then the functions of printer in the window 'Printers and devices' of all computers (all running Windows 7 Professional) on the office network. The 8600 are active and full functionality works correctly between the printer and all the computers.

    I then close the printer 8600, left for several minutes, and then lit it back and reconnected. The State says 'Problem with printer' remains in the device window HP.

    I am at a loss as to what this supposed problem can be and don't know what should be a next step. Does anyone have any advice or information that could help in this situation? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who could help

    HP support responded to my question by e-mail. I was told that the message 'Problem with the printer' is due to a bug in their system. Also said that as long as the status column indicates the printer is "Online" and everything else is fnctioning correctly, don't worry about this.

  • Problem with printing pdf from Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hello

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.

    PDF-print has always worked a lot, but all of a sudden, there is some kind of problem.

    After you print a "Print to PDF" built-in excel document in MacOS or Adobes printer I have PDFs corruptet when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but MacOS software preview shows them correct.

    So there can't be any problem with printing, but the local preview on my computer using Acrobat or Reader. I don't even use the Myriad in document police, I use Verdana.

    screen.jpg

    You say you use Verdana, but you're not. The error message clearly indicates that you use MyriadPro "BOLD".

    You probably recently installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 update that has a bug with OpenType PostScript as "BOLD" MyriadPro fonts. Use the Verdana or another font TrueType or PostScript, or come back to Mac OS X 10.6.6.

  • LaserJet Pro M426fdw: Problems with printing of pdf documents

    Whenever I try to print PDFs in duplex (although occasionally same problem print one page) the first page does not print and on the pages that follow, most of the lines are blackened the right edge in towards the middle of the page.  I didn't notice the problem with documents in other formats, but I always have problems with pdf files, and I have no problem, print the pdf to my other printers.

    Do other normal Duplexes of programs (word, etc.)?

    If so, it sounds Adobe specific, otherwise I would reinstall the printer driver.

  • Problem with printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515

    Hello. First of all, I would like to wish all a happy new year!

    I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515. The printer works fine (prints, scans, and copies). There is only one problem with it. It returns me an error when I l ' turn off. This happens very often, but not always, it is a little annoying. The error appears as: ERROR CODE SM_MODULE C 0X02B7C2ED (the error is also shown on the image). I tried to Google the problem but without effects. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone help me please, because I have no idea what could be the problem. Thanks for the replays.

    This problem has been resolved. It was my router D - Link DIR-615 which was causing the problem all the time. When I changed the router to another at the beginning of the printer stop normally.

  • HP 6600 printer: I have a problem with printer Hp 6600

    Even if I do not print colors, my motto keep depleting the color cartridges and will not work until all color cartridges are installed. What can I do if I want to use only the black cartridge?, it was so boring.

    Hi @Stork11,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand your frustration. However, this printer uses same color inks when printing in black only. If run out you of color and kept black printing only, you provoquerez problems with the print head. FYI, here's the guide to your printer , see page 74. I also linked page to provide information HERE.

    Hope this information is useful and have a great day!

  • Problems with printer D110a

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Never had a problem with the printer until today. I installed a new black cartridge HP 60. The alignment test failed during the sweep phase, error says I don't have a pattern of good alignment. I can print, but when I try to scan, the grip of the printer, I can't stop it by pressing the power button. Have completed the task by using the Task Manager. I tried to restart and unplug the printer. Should I try to reinstall the printer? I seem to remember that a new printer driver has been installed recently.

    Thank you

    Rege

    The alignment page was only a black rectangle, no other color. After the reinstallation of the black cartridge, I restarted the alignment test, and it worked OK. The new alignment page had colors next to black. Not sure what happpened, but the printer works OK now.

    Thank you
