USB printer problems

Hi all

I've been scratching my head for a few days now with my customers zero and usb printers. I have several clones of Windows 7 connection through zero Clients and a HP P1006 printer. The question is, would print the printer, but then it seems to lose its connection, because jobs would be stuck in the queue. I have to play with to restart the printer and stop and start the service of spool printing, just to make it work.

I noticed that we were initially using the driver of a host for the P1006. I went in the parent company, removed this printer, then added the driver included with the HP CD. Since then, users have not had the issue.

My question is, should not use us drivers based on the host to see? I have other HP printers and for Windows 7, the only choice of HP is host-based drivers, so I'm hesitant on adding them

Any information would be helpful

Not sure it's important.  'Host' in your case, it is just the virtual machine so if it works better, use them.  Ideally the non-hotes would save you processor cycles, but I wouldn't be too concerned, printers can be a PITA, so if you have a driver that works, I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

  • HP Envy 5532 - Win 7 64 - bit - USB printing problem

    Hi all

    I recently bought a HP Envy 5532 all-in-one, which is located to the sides of

    my HP Compaq 6000 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    I tried a few HP diagnostic programs, which recognize,

    but do not solve the problem and suggest uninstall and start again.

    I also installed the latest driver download, rather than the installation disc.

    I also tried the Fixit Windows for the USB, nothing helps.

    My problem is, no matter how to install software/drivers to support this

    device, I can't print via USB.

    Once installed, I print a test page for 'printer properties', I can see the coil of the page

    in the active jobs window, then disappear and... nothing.

    There seems to be a link broken between the printer and USB001 which is the virtual USB port

    Everyone knows and if so, please share how you solved.

    as it is driving me crazy.

    Thanks in advance

    After doing a bit more research, it is certainly a problem of Windows security permissions.

    I have a workaround by following this link and can now print. :-), but do not know the security implications.

    Not sure that the installer sets incorrect permissions during installation,

    Certainly, I ran the installer as an administrator and still had the problem.

    Maybe you could advise on the required parameters?

    On this path, it is really not easy to give a precise answer. In my opinion you should try with the producer of the printer supports. They have more experience with the installation of own products.

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

  • C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

    Hello

    I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

    Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

    Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

    Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

    However...

    It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

    I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

    -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

    -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

    -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

    -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

    -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

    -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

    -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

    -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

    My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

    Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

    It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

    Thanks in advance. ANIA

    Hello @AZS1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

    To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

    I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.

  • USB printer not detected on satellite series?

    Hello

    Have a laptop Toshiba Equium and today I bought a printer from a different manufacture.
    USB cable is not supplied with the printer (not good things) and so had to buy a.

    Laptop does not accept the USB cable saying something like USB isn't signwritten with the laptop?
    I have no idea what has happened?

    I'm sure that the printer is 100% and the USB's all nine... the majority of the facility took place until this problem is with the USB
    The laptop never had a printer connected before in 18 months of ownership.

    Any help!

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, you must make sure that you bought a straight cable and which is compatible with the laptop.
    My sister uses a USB printer and the cable that she bought looks like this;

    [USB 2.0 printer cable | http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/C184-4000_U_6-main.jpg]

    But the note man; You should check this printer installation instructions.
    Sometimes the driver (shipped with the printer) must be installed before you connect the printer to the computer!

    What you could do to first remove the USB ports, controllers from Device Manager and reboot the laptop.
    After restarting again the USB ports must be installed again.

    After this short stage, you continue with the installation of the printer described in the manual!

    Good bye

  • DeskJet 2540: cannot convert mac wireless usb printer

    Hello

    I'm having a problem setting my printer all-in-one Deskjet 2540 on my macbook (osx El Capitan). After basic implementation through usb connection, I was able to connect my printer to my router, which makes possible wireless printing. I was then able to print wireless from my phone using remote control all-in-one app.

    However, I now want my macbook to establish a wireless connection to the printer instead of the usb connection that is used for configuration. I can't find the option to convert a usb printer to a printer that is connected to the wifi. When disconnecting from usb, laptop computer notes the connection with the printer is lost. To install my printer, I use the HP Utility software, in which I can't find such an option. Also, when passing through Apple-> system-> printers and scanners preferences I can't find an option "convert to wireless. I also read a method via Finder-> applications-> HP and then an icon for installing the software & should be there? In my case, there is only the HP Utility icon which directs me to the same program in which I could not find the option.

    What I was looking for, and where can I find it?

    Might be a little exaggerated description, but I hope that this makes it extremely clear...

    Hi @Jeppie,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I read your post about how you try to connect your HP Deskjet 2540 to your Mac using a Wi - Fi. I'm happy to help you!

    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.
  • HP 6830: HP 6830 printing problems

    Initially, this printer has been used on a system with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and it worked flawlessy. After the upgrade to Windows 10 However, he had a few intermittent printing problems. Known upgrades can cause problems I uninstalled/reinstalled and everything seemed ok. However, the same problem reappeared immediately.

    Everything works ok for a bit then the printer stops working. Can not scan or print (from Panel of control printer itself or control office). The printer must be powered off/on power so that it can start working again.

    Ran the program Scan HP that came with it and made sure to drivers are updated. The problem persists however. What can be done short of buying a new printer? Help, please.

    EDIT - I forgot to mention it is configured to operate wireless and not via the USB port if it matters.

    I wanted to give you an update...

    I "think" the printer now works correctly? It has been a few days without question since I worked on it back which is longer it's gone in the past. I do not accept the solution again, however I want to give him a few more days to be sure. I thought it was fixed before and printing problems are back.

    Notes:

    1. I do not have the procedure described above SMTP uncheck ^ ^ ^ I didn't quite read the right steps when you work on it (it's actually the printer of a family member and not mine). I spaced on where he is told to do a right click on the printer icon and then click printer properties. I guess my mind went to some properties. I didn't know there was a printer properties to select. Printer properties is higher in the list of menu along that opens the right click (I have a HP printer too and he tried once I realized my mistake). I guess I'm so used to click the General properties, I just cleared the research of properties of the printer and thought that it meant click regular properties.

    Because I clicked on the wrong properties option I could not find the ports tab (but I was able to find the IP address - it was OK) so I thought maybe gave me by mistake as follows to another printer or the version of windows. So I just moved to other options. If someone reads this thread to try to resolve the issues I've had to make sure and look up in the list for the printer properties and select is NOT as the ordinary properties which is at the bottom.

    2 - the update suggested KB was already there and installed. However, it had been installed shortly after the 10 Windows upgrade which is when issues with printing suddenly appeared. So I uninstalled manually downloaded the update and reinstalled just in case it had been corrupted during the original automatic installation. This is a HUGE update and I have seen that people have screwed up in automatic updates in the past.

    3 - I decided to uninstall all of the software and the printer and start over again once more. In doing so, I found a few HP entries that were dated before the previous uninstall/reinstall tent while they were not uninstall as they should have and I thought they had. This means that they have not been updated during reinstallation or the other. Made me think maybe one of them was somehow behind the questions?

    I had to use 3rd party uninstalling and registry/hard drive cleaning to remove all traces of these couple like Windows Add/Remove Programs software wouldn't uninstall them at all, or if she did he left pieces everywhere.  One in particular (HP Solutions Framework Support) wouldn't uninstall period until what I downloaded from specific software allowing a forced uninstall. Took long to get everthing HP about the machine off.

    Once I have finally managed to remove all traces of the old installation of HP and went forward with the reinstall using latest software/drivers on HP.com, I noticed the relocation took a little longer and I was asked to do more to lift the printer up and running. I think that some of these programs/registry entires which gave me such a hard to remove time were corrupt reinstalls previous that I tried when popped up printing problems after upgrading from Windows 10. Once they were gone went to reinstall it correctly. Or so it seems, it's just a guess.

    Anyway, as said above ^ ^ ^ "seems" to have corrected the problems. I do not know about you until the printer is used for a few days. It is used a lot if it's not resolved, I'm sure I'll hear about it soon. After that earleir tries to fix the issues would already have surfaced long before now so I'm hopeful we finally have it.  I'll be back if everything goes well and will accept the solution OR post that it did not really work. Don't want to prematurely.

Maybe you are looking for
