Hp Officejet Pro X476dw Mfp Not Printing Properly
Ania Cozzolino
HP is among the top printer manufacturers that offer highly durable and high-speed printers. However, like any other equipment, issues cannot still be avoided no matter how reliable a printer is. So, if you are having issues such as HP printer ink system failure, printer not printing in color, and wondering how to fix the color problems, you are in the right place!
Today, we are going to give you a step-by-step guide on how to resolve the issues associated with HP printer not printing color correctly on laser and inkjet printers. But first, let us discuss why you are encountering this problem to at least give you an idea of how to fix it.
Check Test Pattern 1 and make sure that they are connected and straight. Test Pattern 3 should not have white gaps or dark lines. If you do not see any defects, your printer and cartridges are working properly.
Getting problematic prints from your HP printer can be very irritating, especially if you have tight deadlines and need to print a lot of documents. However, you can quickly solve these issues using the solutions we mentioned here.
Sometimes, the main reason why you are encountering this problem is because of incompatible HP ink or toner cartridges, so make sure that you only use compatible supplies. YoyoInk offers high-quality and affordable ink and toner cartridges compatible with various printers including HP.

I am having some problems printing. I have a printer queue "properly" configured. I sent jobs to this queue with a delay of 30 seconds during a whole day and it prints them all without any problem. Nevertheless, when I sent a batch file with around 160 print jobs, all them gets queued, but most (not all) of the times the printer gets stalled and I have to reset the queue.
A queue "stalls" when the communication link failes or the printer "runs out of paper". In this case, I would suspect that there is a communications problem which is being detected and rather than sending the print job to the proverbial bit bucket, the particular job is stalled. I have seen this in the past at client sites where the printer itself is restarted or the cable is removed for some reason. Since this is connected via IP, there is no mechanism for a "reconnect" that I have found that will trigger the queue to restart on its own.
In my specific case, the printer was in an operating room that required cleaning after each procedure. This meant that the printer was disconnected. Quite often, the printer was not connected prior to an attempt to print to it. Since the printer cannot initiate communications with the VMS system (doesn't really know or care about it), the printer would remain stalled until an operator would "restart" the queue. I think the same thing is occurring here. The communications link must be initiated from the VMS system TO the printer. Had the printer just run out of paper, the link would still exist and be able to restart without intervention.
And as there have been more than a few buggy implmentations around, if telnet printing doesn't work reliably, see if lpr works better here. If the particular printer supports Postscript, then using the DECprint Services (DCPS) symbiont would be another potential alternative path.
I have checked duplex settings, they seem to be right. about the port, 9100 is also correct, I can print without any problem but when I send a lot of jobs to the queue in a row. About the TCPIP version...
It would therefore correlate that VMS spewing multiple jobs to that port will cause problems. The jobs will either merge or more likely overwhelm the printer port and cause a stall to be reported back to VMS.
My solution would be to, as Hoff said, use lpd on the printer (assuming it's available as you omitted to mention the printer you are sending to). Use sys$system:tcpip$lprsetup to create the printer queue.
Might also want to see if there are other IP-lreated or network or system-related errors being logged, too. The command ANALYZE/ERROR/ELV will get you to the prompt that can translate the errors for the core system components.
Again: I'd move off the TCP 9100 raw port here, as you're not sending raw data, and it's distinctly possible sending a whole wad of files is getting tangled. If that printer had integrated supported Postscript, then DCPS and TCP 9100 would be typical. And DCPS uses TCP 9100. But not here. as this printer appears to require host-based Postscript interpretation (akin to host-based rendering, but for processing Postscript), and a host-based Postscript interpreter is not available with OpenVMS itself nor with DCPS.
