MacBook :: My HP Printer Says 'sending Print Data' But Nothing Prints
Jun 16, 2012
I'm trying to print a legal size 4 page document. The first page printed then the printer stopped. I've tried repeatedly to print page 2, but it never gets beyond the 'sending print data'. I tried deleting the job but it didn't go away. I finally had to shut down my MacBook and the printer, then restart them and the job was gone. But I still get the 'sending print data' when I try to print page 2.
Info:MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), This is not a wireless printer.
I have an HP 8000 hooked up with a USB cable. I've tried disconnecting everything, restarting, trying different ports, nothing is working. I also tried resetting the print system in system prefs, reinstalling the drivers as well. When I try to print the printer just sits there. Its always stuck on sending print data. I don't use this printer often but it used to work and I would get this problem once or twice every few months. I solved it just by restarting but now it wont go away.
I have a specific problem with my printer KYOCERA FS-1700+.It is connected via USB to my MacBook Pro which operates MAC OS 10.6.4The latest driver update on the Kyocera page supports OS 10.5, and the printer prints just half of the pages with this driver.The pre-installed Kyocera driver on my Mac does not work at all.
I have a HP PSC 1110 to which I print wirelessly, via an Airport Express, from my ibook. I've been useing it successfully for about a month, but today for the first time I tried to print photos from iPhoto and it wouldn't print in colour...in fact it won't print in colour wirelessly no matter which application the print job is sent from. When I attached the printer directly to the ibook via USB and it worked perfectly so I have a staightforward solution, but, it should work in colour wirelessly shouldn't it?
Brand new HP Photosmart C4480 from Apple Store (connected via USB to AEBS)...
Prints fine from both MBP (unibody) and Vista lappy...but only in COLOR!
Why on earth would this be...could it be something simple as the black ink cartridge straight out of the box has ink problems? I've re-seated the black just to make sure, but seriously prints nothing in black...only color!
I have a HP Photosmart C4200 Series (C4280 to be exact). I have recently installed Snow Leopard (was using Leopard before) and this printer shows as supported in Snow Leopard.The problem I'm having, is that when I go to print a document from Microsoft Word (Office 2008) for Mac, all I get are blank pages. I printed something from Text Edit and it comes out fine, but files from Microsoft Word come out blank. Also, the "Test" pages come out fine as well.
I have been printing files for months and months now from Microsoft Word, but this is the first time I have tried in Snow Leopard.Does anyone know what is going on? I really need to print stuff since its for school.
10.9.4 with Epson WF 845. Queue opens, job appears to process out of the queue and the queue closes. Nothing happens at the printer. Only the one printer on the network. Have deleted & added the printer. Have reset the printer system. Printer wired through a Linksys WRT 1900AC and computers are wireless to the same router. Worked fine until the last day or so.

I'm new to Mac OS X, but have been working with Linux for almost 9 yrs now. I have set up a Linux box with CUPS 1.3.9. I can print from the server, and from other Linux stations to that remote server. However, I can't print from a client MacBook.
I set up CUPS on the client Mac via http://localhost:631 and created a printer associated with the remote queue / printer on Linux (the URL I use on OS X is http://mylinuxserver:631/printers/hpprinter and the driver is RAW).
I have no problems sending a test page from the CUPS web interface on Mac OS X to the Linux server -- the test page gets printed OK. However, I can't see the printer I just defined from other Mac OS X apps, and neither can I see it from the Add Printer Dialog on System Preferences (it's empty).
I tried creating the printer at the Add Printer dialog, but it would neither let me specify an HTTP URL (as far as I know, I had to use the IP icon on the toolbar) nor specify "RAW". So I tried creating a "dummy" printer in the Add Printer dialog, with a basic config, and then changing it from the CUPS web GUI. This didn't work either, since when I went back to the Add Printer dialog, the printer was gone.

I'm using a MacBook, Mac OS 10.5.8. I've downloaded the driver for HP LaserJet m1319f MFP and the printer worked fine when I connect it directly to my MacBook (using USB connection).The problem is that printer is supposed to be connected to our office network users through a TP-Link Print Server (TL-PS110U). I've tried to use AppleTalk to connect to that print server but my MacBook only recognized that HP printer as a HP Fax machine and I can't print anything.
The Excel program I'm trying to print Excel 2008, Microsoft Office 2008, identifies the problem as a 'driver' issu and thus will not print the spreadsheets.
I have recently discovered that a 'web' process has been sending data to an address which I have identified through VirusBarrier X6 to be "dsl-146-236-157 [URL]"  Over a 2 day period, 1,2gb was sent to this address. I have since blocked these addresses through the virus scanner, but now I need to delete this process/es from my system.  I do not know how I got this 'process' downloaded, as it is not identified as a virus, malware, trojan etc. My research tells me that this has been seen on windows and other macs, and I want to see how to remove it.Â
I was having problems printing from my Canon LBP6000. Print jobs remained held in the queue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac CAPT Ve r340 driver from Canon's website, no improvement. The printer works fine with my Windows laptop. I found an option to remove all printers from the Print preferences section. I can't remember how I did this, but all printers were removed. I reinstalled the above driver, but now in the 'print & scan' - 'add printer' section, I have no printer options. And no idea how to get printer options.
I just got a macbook pro and I installed istat in the dashboard. I noticed that my computer is sending out a lot of data, for example istat says that it is sending out 35 kbs with a total of 258 for today. My question is what is my computer sending out and should I be worried?
I have a 2010 MacBook Air with Lion system software. I connect to my Window XP computer at home to get on the network with no problems. I have an HP Printer and cannot figure out how to connect to via the network.My previous PC notebook was able to connect and print via the network.
My MacBook, 5,1; OS 10.6.8 can't seem to print directly using my Canon Pixma MP 640htheÂ
It can find the printer as an IJ device via LAN, and it will tell me that the print job is being sent and that it has printed but nothing comes out. Same result when i connected it via USB cable. Have tried installing/reinstalling drivers from Canon and even once got it to print a test page. Â
I have a macbook running 10.5.8 and used to be able to print to the network connected (wired) HP Photosmart 6180 printer until recently. I installed a new driver as part of the trableshooting steps and while I can print a test page and see the status of the printer, I can't print from any applications like Word. I've tried all of the t-shooting steps I can find. What am I missing. The job acts like it's going to print and then the printer queue icon bounces with a caution symbol in front of it and the queue says connecting to print on port 631.... printer busy will try connecting again in <> seconds and there is nothing printing to it and the printer is silent.
I've installed the print drivers on my MacBook Pro(Mac OS x10.7.4) for my Brothers MFC-7820N and I still can't print. The printer is connect via ethernet and wireless.
I'm trying to print to my wireless Epson Stylus NX430. I want to print in grayscale- when I print something the print que pops up and with an error saying, "looking for printer." The printer is connected to my wireless. What can I do?
My HP 4480 printer shows up on my MacAir but won't print. It is connected by a usb cable. I have tried powering off and on the printer to no avail!  I have installed the latest driver for Apple Mac as well.Â
I bought an Epson C2800N which is a network laser printer. It is connected to my router with "ethernet" cable. I am able to connect to my printer over cable connection (when i have my MPB network connection with "ethernet" cable) but when I use the wireless connection (airport) I can't connect to my printer. It happens with my MBP17 and my bro's MBP15'.
My Mac is not seeing my wireless HP printer when trying to print a Word document. I can print from other Microsoft apps (excel). This only started happening yesterday afternoon.Â
I am using my HP DeskJet F4500. I connected it to my MacBook Pro 13inch mid 2012. i Added it and then i tried to print something out it doesn't print. I've went to the  printer queue and i found nothing. I really need to print stuff for my homework and projects.
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
