    Turned power off during evacuation. Came back and now I have the exact same problem.

  • jangreen Oct 20, 2008

    My new HP LaserJet 2605dn Printer did fine for the first day or so.
    Then I tried to print duplex from the Internet, and it locked up.
    Again, says 'printing document' and I cannot delete that job from the
    print queue, and it will not print. Means I can't print anything.
    Come on HP - give us an answer!

I had this same problem, and after 45 minutes with HP support, eventually managed to get it to print by turning the printer of and then holding down both arrow keys (left and right) at the same time while turning the printer back on. I held down the arrow keys until it said "Language: English" and then clicked through the prompts. It then restarted, and all was well again.
Other places mention doing this with the OK and Cancel keys, but that didn't do it for me - the arrow keys did.

Brother mfc8460n stopped printing anything....no warning and no appearance of anything being wrong. I don't know where to look; have 2 documents in queue.
The first of those documents is probably corrupted and causing the printer to stop working. Delete all jobs from the queue, turn the printer off, then back on again and try a different document. If it works, then the document is corrupted and you need to try saving it in a different format before printing it again.

Dx 4000 - keeps trying to print same document; can't delete it
Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came withthe printer. When the software program asks you to connect theprinter to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Print not working on my brother MFC-665CW
Do you have several attempts showing in your print que? Go to control panel, then printers, the double click on your Brother printer icon. See if there are documents stacked up. If they are, Windows will not send anything to the printer until all documents are printed in order. I hope this fixes your problem. Thanks for using Fixya.com

Printer photo paper
Scrapbooks work very well and they come in such beautiful sets of ornamentation etc. that you can create a beautiful wedding album. Or you can purchase a beautiful 3 ring binder and use the more expensive plastic sleeves that are sturdy and insert all of your 8 X11 pages into them. Or you can make every document or photo that you print 8x10 by setting up your printer to print that way. Good luck to you!!

Pale print on PDF files
It sounds like a driver problem. Try replacing the driver for this printer on the printers folder, using the HP LaserJet Series II. With this driver, try again the PDF file and see if it prints correctly.
