Reset the printing system - what happens exactly; 10.5; OJ Pro 8000n

Hello all-

Well the bug in the software update (10.5.8) did.  I forgot that HP Printer Drivers update 1.1.1 continues to appear even if its been installed before.  As a result, I have now lost some features with my new OJ Pro 8000n.  I plan on resetting the printing system, but first I want to be sure I understand exactly what is happening.

I have a much older Business Inkjet 1100d also installed, and I am not totally convinced that if the former driver for it gets uninstalled by reset the printing system I can find the old disk to reinstall this former driver and all the features.

My impression is that reset the printing system removes all printers installed Print & Fax Preference, but does NOT the driver software and the real characteristics.  (On the other hand, I assume that the "scrubber" option removes all the drivers and extras?)  Am I correct that?

Thanks - Randy

Well Yes, reset the printing system does not remove the printer software or the driver.

Here is an article from Apple stating (at a very high level) what this function.

  • Reset the printer: what you need to know

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support. They should not be made lightly!

    If the printer has already damaged due to her fiddling in the care of the menu, you may need to Contact HP for (paid) service.  Best not to do the damage in the first place...

    An example of the damage that may be caused would be the printers that use special cartridges installation.  Reset the printer to factory conditions can cause sound to demand once again the cartrdiges Installer.  If the original cartridges of configuration have been exhausted or discarded the user must contact HP for cartridges to install since there is no distribution channels.

  • C4780 - error in the printing system

    C4780 worked without incident for months until recently - now I find randomly in status 'offline '.  Today has been visited by "error in the printing system.  Any ideas?  I already deleted the printer and the software which then does a re - install using the downloaded software from the HP site (can't locate the original install CD).

    OK, I'll assume that this printer is connected wireless to your router.  I would like to know if it's USB to your PC.

    First of all, don't use WEP.  It is not safe and can cause connection problems.  Use WPA with a password of 13 + character that you create yourself!  Much easier and safer.

    From the front of the printer: [Scan] Setup > network > wireless network Test.  It will be radio of the printer self-test.

    When the printer is offline, run this utility.  It will tell you what is happening.

  • Got paper stuck in the printer and now will only print proofs. How to reset the printer

    Got paper stuck in the printer and now will only print proofs. How to reset the printer

    It looks like you may have some saved jobs in your queue that need to be removed.

    Here's how:

    To clear the print queue, stop the print spooler service and delete all the jobs/print pending.
       
    You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
          
    To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
           
    services.msc
           
    Click OK to open the Services Applet.
           
    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
       
    The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
       
    If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

    Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service immediately.  You must remove all print jobs backed up first...
       
    Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
       
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
       
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
           
    Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
           
    Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
       
    After the reboot, check again the Spooler Service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

    Submit new failure of print jobs.

  • Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

  • I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button.

    I can see the knobs, but I don't see the logic in what happens when I press a button. With every key I pressed a quick screen comes first, but I can't use the sliders to make whatever it is - either by touching the screen or by using the arrows on the keyboard. The screen for quick access expires before I can try a lot.

    Shingay,

    If you have not watched on the manual for ths unit yet, please, it usually will tell you which buttons do what, and how to navigate the OSD menu. If this does not work could you please provide the specific monitor you use so that we can see what we can help with?

  • Reset the printer C6180 for different regions cartridge

    I recently moved to the United Kingdom in New Zealand. My C6180 is configured for cartridges 363 series available in the United Kingdom. The same cartridge is 02 series in New Zealand, and when I install the printer tells me that the printer is not configured for this cartridge. I think I have to reset the printer to a different area, so two questions.

    1. How can I do this and if I need to call HP where can I find the number?

    2. I guess I can't mix cartidge types so will have to replace all of them, correct?

    Thank you

    B

    1 make sure you buy set of inks that are compatible in New Zealand and make sure that SW has been installed on your computer.

    2. Please call technical assistance from HP - 0800-441-177 for more information.

  • How to cold reset the printer Laserjet M175nw MFP Color 100?

    Try changing the settings wireless, but keeps on asking for a password that I don't remember.

    Printer works fine so hard connected to the network.  ePrint works very well.

    Just updated to the latest firmware available.

    I just need to change the wireless settings that I recently changed my password for wireless network.

    In addition, access to the menu is disabled from the control panel of the printer.

    So the only way that I can think of is to reset the printer and start the installation from the top.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You must perform initialization of storage generally in order to remove the password configured in the fuly, any other reset will not erase this kind of configuration.

    In order to perform this reset, you should contact HP Support.

    You can get the details to contact HP by selecting your region and following technical support after purchase below:
