We have a Laserjet P2050dn that is experiencing a problem with printing. If you print out an excel document titled 'ABC invoice', the 2050 will print the invoice. If you then print another document called time table, it will print out the ABC invoice again, but not the time table. This behavior has continued even after restarting the printer and reloading the driver. It seems like the original print job gets stuck in the printer memory and then every other print job is one job behind, does that make sense? I am having problems finding solutions online because I don't really know what to call this issue, so any help you could provide would be appreciated....Thanks!

    Thanks for you help but that didn't work. The Spool folder was empty there are no changes to the situation even after restarting the computer. I'm not sure what to do next.

    Hi Benjz,

    Thanks for the instructions. It didn't work though. There were no jobs pending. In fact the folder was completetly empty. I did restart the PC just in case but nothing's changed.

    Do you have any other ideas maybe? Or has anyone else an idea as to what to try next?

    Thanks in advance.

I am having trouble printing word documents from my Inspiron 1545 to HP Deskjet 2050
Hi there!
What is exactly problem? You couldn't printing from word documents, can you print from other application such as Excel, notepad, website. If you could not print from other applications as well then your printer have problem. Go to Start - Printer and Faxes: check your printer by right click on it and select properties, print the test page to see printer itself is working with windows or not.
If you could print from other applications but not Word Docs, then your word application have problem. Try to end task it, go to Task Manager and End Task it.
Most of the cases, just restart your computer and your printer to refresh the memory.
Hope this will help. Thanks for reading.

When i print from excel it is printing multiple pages instead one
check your print preview. Either Excel is set to print multiple copies or the spreadsheet is slightly bigger than a page. Fix the spreadsheet, this is likely not a printer issue.

Not so much a problem but got message printed out while trying to print a document. Unsupported Personality: UNKNOWN. Does this mean something I should be concerned with ??
An error page will print with the words "Unsupported Personality: PCL " in the upper left hand corner. The printers are host-based and do not support PCL printing; therefore, installing an alternate PCL5e or PCL6 printer driver will frequently generate this error condition. NOTE: This error condition occurs by design when an attempt to print with a PCL5e or PCL6 printer driver occurs and is NOT a bug within the product software. SOLUTION: Install the correct HP LaserJet Host-Based Printer Driver or the HP LaserJet printing system software for the product. These drivers are available for download from the HP web site. Click here to go to the HP web site drivers and downloads page. NOTE: There are several programs (such as accounting, invoicing, court documentation applications) that are 16 bit (DOS) programs with a 32 bit (Windows) overlay. Due to the nature of these applications and the associated Windows overlay, the errors may continue with the correct printer drivers. These applications do not typically support a host-based output device, and as such would not be supported in these environments.

LaserJet 5Si printing slow use to be able to hit the print key then the printer would fire away. seems like the printer pauses between pages then prints maybe 3 to 4 pages per minute
Could be software. I have seen the last several Adobe latest version documents take several seconds to print. I have also seen increased print times with MS office 2003 Powerpoint documents.If it is a single page MS Word or Excel document and u are printing several copies of it, you should turn off the collate feature for printing of that document

I have a HP Deskjet 1300n printer. I can print my email, pictures and items off the internet, but cannot print any word documents or notepad documents. When I print an excel document, I get an incomplete page-the grid lines will print,and text garbage from a adobe program but not all the text. When I do a test print page, I get an incomplete text page, but do not know how to solve this. I have removed and reloaded the printer software-no improvement. There are no new drivers to be installed.
