Z3100 printing problem
« on: October 29, 2012, 04:50:01 pm »

Made a few canvas prints yesetrday using CS4, all printed OK, then changed the size of one print. Went to page-set-up and made the changes, pushed Print and a dialog come up, it said cannot print, must add a printer first. I had just made 5 prints, what is happening? Peter

What O/S?  If windows, make sure your print spooler is running, otherwise all printers will dissapear.....

The really strange thing is that it really happens only with one image. Peter

It's been happening to me for quite some time, it's a driver issue as far as I know.  The last update it started happening for me.  Anytime I have to cancel out or start the print process and don't complete - I have to restart PS and reopen the file.  Luckily 99% of my printing is one file at a time so not a big deal.  I caulk it up to the horrible HP support.

Tracked the problem to a defective USB cable, replaced it and the problem went away. HP support was great, spent 2 hourswith me to help. Wish that there was a simple way to test cables. Peter
