Printer starts to print then just quits right in the middle of a print job. May just stop right in the middle of the page

it needs servicing.

What model is this printer? If it has a scanner/copier function, try copying something and see if it works that way. If it does, there is an issue with the computer. If it has a problem copying, it is a problem with the printer. Let me know and I can give you additional steps to take.

If printing is stopping in the middle its not the Problem with the driver
Check the Spooling Properties
Checked Printing Test Page

first if its happening from few days than go for system restore - start - all programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.. select that date on which it worked fine.. or else add printer and install deskjet 990c and than try

You need to refer to method "D" about half way down the page
Once you clear the print job check you dont have any extra printers installed as quite often happens in these situations. If you have then delete your extra printer installations.

This is a simple 3 step fix

a) Get rid of printer
b) Get rid of husband
c) Get new printer

Hope this works!! :-)

Lack of Ram in the computer? Print Query filling up afterward? Multicopies already in Query.

Keep your paper feed under 15 pages. The paper will tend to pull to the right, but it will print correctly on the printed page. 20 to 25 pages in the feeder will result in a paper jam. To find the status on the print job, go to your control conter and hit printers. Choose your spicific printer and you may beable to save the printjob.

The DeskJet printers are notorious for this problem. When you turn the printer off and back on in the middle of a print job, it gets confused when it is back on and cannot interpret the print language when it resumes from the computer. Whenever this happens in the future, you need to delete the print job off your pc before turning the printer back on. If you have windows XP, click START, SETTINGS, PRINTERS&FAXES, then double-click on your printer icon. When the queue window comes up, right-click on the active print job, select DELETE, then reply YES to confirm. If you don't see the print job delete (it might take a minute or so), then you will have to stop/start your Windows print spooler. Go to START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL. Double-click the ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS icon. Double-click the SERVICES icon. Scroll down and locate PRINT SPOOLER. Right-click on it and select STOP. Wait about 10 seconds, then right-click on it again and select START. Close out of the SERVICES & CONTROL PANEL windows. Open your printer status window again and see if it is clear. Once it is clear, it will be safe to turn your printer back on. Hope this helps.
