Printer Disappears from file and won't print from any "print" area

Problem Print job does not print; No Lexmark job status window Solution What you will see

• The Windows print queue spools the print job.
  
• The print queue icon appears in the systray or notification area.
  
• The print queue icon disappears as if the print job has successfully been sent to the printer.
  
• The print job disappears and does not print.
  
• No Lexmark job status window appears to indicate a communication problem.
  
• No other communication errors. This issue is most likely due to a corrupt device mode registry entry from another printer that was installed and used in the past.

Or

• You do see the job status window and you do not see any alerts or communication errors, yet still nothing gets printed

What to do

A confirmed cause must be established before a resolution can be achieved.
To do this:

1. download a diagnosis tool that will help determine the cause of the printing issue.
   IMPORTANT: Again, this tool is only to be used in cases where there is no communication error message from the Lexmark job status window and the job spools quickly through the Windows spooler, yet nothing prints.
   
2. Select an easy-to-find Save location, such as your Windows Desktop.
   
3. Double-click on the delserDevMode.exe file.
   
4. Accept the License Agreement. After the file is executed, it saves devmode.txt to your root directory (e.g., C:\devmode.tx.
   

Try reinstalling the printer drivers on the one that wont print

I hope this helps

So clearly the Macintosh sees and recognizes the printer. WIll it let you queue a document to the printer? After you do, you will see an extra icon on the Dock that represents the printer queue. Open it up and see what is happening to the printer job. If it disappears, it was sent to the printer and the Mac thinks it was printer successfully; if it isn't printed then you have either a bad printer or a bad printer driver. If it stays in the queue and goes to "hold" state, look in the log to see what the error was -- the Mac is unable to negotiate with the printer to get your file printed.

The following link to Lexmark support has an optional diagnosis tool to assist you with your problem: (you did not indicate any error messages)

Lexmark Z2300 Print Job Disappears

Go to the printers folder, right click the printer and chose properties. Under properties go to the advanced tab and check off print directly to this printer. I work with HP and find this solves the problem of printer 95% of the time

hi there are 2 types of wireless installation 1 is infrastructure and the other one is Adhoc in Infrastructure the computer and the printer are connected through a router this is a permanent sort of connection and remains even if the computer is shut down
but the Adhoc connection is a short duration connection in which the computer and the printer are directly connected and the connection is lost as soon as the printer or the computer is turned off
so its always recommended to connect teh printer using the infrastructure mode so that you do not face any problem

Contact HP for Care at 1-800-585-2494

go to Start, Settings, Control panel, printers and faxes is your printer there? is there a checkmark? no, then right click and set as default, put your mouse over it does it say Ready? no, then change cable.

 

send test page, it should print, if not the USB or Parrallel input of your printer has a problem.
