Printer won't print, messages won't delete in WindowsXP ProI'm running Windows XP Pro with a Lexmark Z22 printer. Often when I try to
print, the printing notification widow pops up. As usual, I hear "Printing
started," but nothing happens while the seconds are ticking away on the
clock. If I try to cancel the job, then check the printing queue, the job
is still there, marked "Deleting." The only way to get it to print is to
restart, then it works (until the next time). The only way to delete the
unsuccessful print job is to go into task manager under Processes and try to
guess which process to delete. This works, when I g...
Ubuntu Lurid crapware: "hibernate hangs...ethernet disabled...no network...shutdown hangs...CD won't write...printer won't print""I wanted to upgrade but couldn't, for reasons not understood having to
do with repository stuff.
So I installed new ubuntu in dual boot with old ubuntu.
Installed OK on my old e-machine.
Then I decided to hibernate.
Hung. Turned off power.
Now the ethernet card is disabled on boot and I cannot get to network.
Even if I ifconfig the card. Also, shutdown hangs like hibernate did.
I have no clue how to fix this.
Fortunately, old ubuntu still comes up and gets to network or I wouldn't
be here.

Epson 740 printer won't printMy Epson Stylus Color 740 printer won't print. When I try to print (in
black and white or color), nothing happens. I wait a while and finally
just cancel my print job. The light idicating that it is out of color
ink is lit up. I replaced my black and white ink cartridge but it
didn't help. I tried to clean the print head but nothing happened when
I clicked on the command to do so.
On the 740, as with many other Epsons, if you have a a solid red light
showing you will not get any printing done. On the 740 which red light is
showing? Is it the one for the black or the color? Was that cartridge
replaced by you? I have actually seen one cartridge's red light glowing
and so replace the cartridge. Then the printer goes through a charging
sequence and to my surprise another red light is showing, but this time it's
the other cartridge, because the printer was already low on that color and
the charging cycle emptied that cartridge enough to trigger the light to
start blinking on and off.
Now suppose it's the same light that is still on even after you replaced
the cartridge. Do this: hold the paper in feed button for about 3 seconds.
The printhead will move to the left. Lift up the clamp of the cartridge that
has the red light glowing and bring it down somewhat definitively again to
lock the cartridge down. There is a microswitch that is reset when this is
done that tells the printer it has a new cartridge installed. Som...

EPSON CX4600 printer won't printI have noticed several posts saying that their Epson CX4600 printer won't
print after changing the printer cartridges. I'm having the same problems.
I've tried cleaning and unplugging the printer for a time, but it still
doesn't work. It started when I changed the black cartridge. I couldn't get
any black to come out. Eventually the colored cartridges needed to be
changed and now I get a blank page when printing. The monitor shows that I
used half of my black cartridge, but I don't see where it could have gone.
I'm wondering if the monitoring software is...
Epson CX4600 printer won't print-nozzles clogged?Hello,
My parents have an Epson CX4600 (all in one unit with
scanner/copier/printer). They recently changed the Black (T0441)
cartridge. The status monitor reports the other cartridges are empty. I
know for a fact they aren't. When I shake the yellow, magenta and cyan
carts, they have plenty of ink. I tried the status print and head
cleaning operations. However I can't get those functions to work
because the ink light remains lit no matter what. Is there another
cleaning procedure for the ink nozzles or heads that can be performed
so that my parents don't have to spend $...
Epson Stylus Color 900 - took out a full color cartridge to test in another printerI downloaded and installed sscserve.exe from http://ssclg.com/epsone.shtml but I can't get
that program to work or I still can't get the printer to print - not sure which (but there
is NO ink printing from the printer now).
Anyone use that app on this printer successfully?
OR is there another app that will work?
OR a hardware fix?
Thanks!

I have an Epson printer. When I changed out the black cartridge this time
it wouldn't print. After many hours of frustration - trying a different new
cartridge, printing in colors, cleaning printing heads repeatedly,
uninstalling and reinstalling driver, and communicating with Epson - I have
discovered this morning that it may not be the printer. I installed a
different printer, hp officejet 6100 all-in-one, went through all the
software installation procedures and finally attempted to print the document
from yesterday. Did not print in black ink??? I printed the sa...
printer won't print straightAt work, we have an HP clolor laserjet 4600. I had a document with a
border. When I printed it, the document apparently was not straight,
as the margin to the top of the border was slanted. Does it just about
every time, although the slant differs from time to time. Is there
some calibration I can do?
Thanks,
Peter
This is a common problem with laser printers. As the paper feed rollers
wear, paper can slip and slide as it is being pulled through the
printer resulting in skewiff borders. You will need to replace the
paper feed rollers.

Printer just won't printI configured my printer with APSFILTER. It usually works very well,
but this time I tried to install CUPS before and it might be why I've
had problems ever since.
When I look at the printer settings in KDE, everything seems fine.
When I try to print a document, I receive a message saying that data
is sent to the printer, but nothing happens thereafter. I don't even
recieve an error message. I can't even print from the command line
with lpr /etc/hosts or echo "Hello World" | lpr -PCan300. No error
message, no nothing.

Printer won't print landscapeI have an HP 1300 laserjet printer. I just connected it
to a Linksys PSUS4 print server. In order to get it to

Unix printer using printtool:
Queue type: Networked UNIX (LPS)

Queue: lp
Now it does not print landscape fro OpenOffice, or anywhere
for that matter. I've tried changing the driver, as well as
other options using printtool under Fedora Core 4. I also
tried using OO's spadmin but that had no affect either.
Is it possible to get this configuration to support landscape

printer won't print blackI have an HP photosmart 7550 and I just changed the black ink cartridge and
printed a calibration page and it looked fine. I went to print a Word
document and the print head was moving like it is printing but the page came
out blank. I changed cartridges and it happened again, so I don't think
it's the cartridge (unless I happened to have 2 bad carts, but what is the
chance of that?). The HP toolbox says the ink level is full.
Any ideas?

Still, the very important reports come out blank in their laser printer. Our

LPT1 to USB Printer Won't print
I have a shiny new HP LJ 1020 USB printer attached to an XP workstation.
The printer is shared, and my trusty old Clipper program's batch file
attaches the printer to lpt1:
net use lpt1 \\x\hplaserj /persistent:yes
Everything looks good, the program prints to lpt1, no errors. The
print job file shows up in the printer's queue, but... it doesn't print.
Not only that, but it won't delete and it won't let any other print jobs
through... the only way I can get it to delete is to power cycle the
printer.
Actually, I have two instances of this: one at a customer's site, ...

Start by disconnecting the computer and doing a simple diagnostic print as
shown at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bpd07098&product=61012&dlc=en&lang=en#N1017E
If this prints a simple nozzle pattern of black, cyan, magenta and yellow then
the problem may lie with your driver.

Epson printer won't let me change cartidgesHi all,
I've just come across a really annoying problem with an older Epson
printer and I hope somebody can help.
Epson Color Stylus 640, Windows XP with appropriate status monitor
installed
Not used for some time. The status monitor says there is plenty of ink
in both black and colour cartidges BUT colour ink will not flow.
Trouble is because there is plenty of ink, the printer won't allow me
to change the cartidges!!
Can anybody suggest how I might convince the thing to let me change
cartidges?? No, I've tried the cattle prod and it didn't work, any

Canon i560 printer won't print blackI have an i560 printer. It has suddenly stopped printing black.
I have the service manual, but it doesn't give any circuit diagrams.
Can anyone help?
I looked on the internet, and a number of people have had this problem,
but most of the answers tell them to replace the ink cartridge - as if
that was not the first thing anyone intelligent would do!
I have played around with it, and I find that if I plug it into my
laptop it prints a Word text document perfectly - so the black cartidge
and printhead must be O.K.
When I use my RISC PC it doesn't print, so it would appear that the

that all the ink cartridges are full, tried reinstalling/updating the
drivers etc. but nothing.

Zebra Label Printer won't stop printingHi
We have a Zebra S4M label printer which prints small batches of labels
OK, but when requested to print larger jobs (print queue size of >
128K), it continuously reprints the same labels until the printer is
turned off or print queue cleared. The print queue shows, for example,
the job as printing 128/210K, but the job never clears the queue. The
printer is using the latest driver for the model and is connected to a
network via ethernet connection.
If the same print job is redirected to a laser printer on the same
network, the job prints fine.
Any help would be appreciated...
