I cannot print from 5.4.7.2 (x64) either. My printer is HP LaserJet Pro MFP M26a.

I am having the same problem. This Computer has had it 4 or 5 months=Libre no problem. Then today it will not print. Everything else works fine Just this program. I also installed the printer at the same time. Got new Drivers etc. I paid my money on the computer that died. So I thought maybe they did something? My Printer is HP Pro 8600

#13

have 100% same issue with Win 10 and LO 6.0.5 - from one day to the other no printing…I see the print data sent and my Officejet even starts to do something…and then it is like forgotten

reinstallation of LO did not help

reinstalling printer from windows system management did not help

edit: uups…this shall NOT be a wiki, sorry

#14

I can print from open office but same document from LO just hangs since about version 6 upwards.after 10 minutes or so a page is printed with an error message number.Open office starts to print immediately and trouble free.my printer has limited memory 16 meg.I tried printing direct to printer not spooling (spooling can increase memory requirement of printer and size of print file) but did not work on LO

Yesterday I upgraded to 6.05 from 6.04 as I wanted the jpg compression for export to pdf. Printer worked fine from LO until then.
I tried printing document 3 times without it appearing in spooler or printer queue. After 10 minutes of checking things I exported it to pdf and printed from Acrobat. I then thought I would have another look at the printing issue so did CTRL+P again and immediately the previous 3 instances started printing. Seems to be communication between LO and Windows driver. Windows 10 Pro 1803, Printer networked HP 8620 with HP driver and software.

I have 6.0.5.2 and also cannot print from writer. Nothing is showing in the print queue. I needed to replace 2 cartridges so opened the Epson SX205 printer management tool from the document as if going to print it and then going to printer status: three times in a row clicking to replace cartridges caused LibreOffice to crash. I finally replaced the cartridges from Win 10 (Settings/Printers/Manage your device). Print commands from LO still had no result so the only solution I have found is to make a PDF version of the file and print from that (which works fine but is a very laborious work-around). I have wasted a huge amount of time with this issue today: important documents not posted, etc. as a result. OS Windows 10 Home version 10.0.17134

#17

When it crashed again today I filed a bug report and was asked to reset my user profile. After doing this no more crashes. I would clearly recommend others try this.

#18

OK, how do you do this?

#19

Just stopped printing one day. Upgraded and it worked. I am using the ‘enthusiast’s’ version.

Original version that stopped printing:

Version: 6.1.2.1 (x64); Build ID: 65905a128db06ba48db947242809d14d3f9a93fe

Installed updated version and it worked again, even without rebooting:

Version: 6.1.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 9d0f32d1f0b509096fd65e0d4bec26ddd1938fd3

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home

OS Version: 10.0.17134 N/A Build 17134

Processor(s): 1 Processor(s) Installed. [01]: Intel64 Family 6 Model 142 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~2400 Mhz BIOS

Total Physical Memory: 8,062 MB

Available Physical Memory: 4,567 MB

Printer: HP Laserjet 2300n; HP LaserJet 2300 PCL6 Class Driver

LibreOffice seems to have big problems with printing out content, and not being as stable application as it may look like. It’s the same here, 1 year later, on the latest version 6.4.5.2 - printing doesn’t work. Just updated from 6.4.4.2 and no changes, printing still doesn’t work but the printing file persists in the queue all the time. Any other software prints everything without any problems so it’s nor the Windows problem, nor the settings, or anything else than LibreOffice.

#21

This “me too” complaint should be reposted as a comment under the question because it not a solution to the problem. Use the more command under you “non-answer”.

While you’re at it: OS name, printer make and model, type of connection (USB or Ethernet), printer age (trend is now to use PDF as printer language, replacing PostScript; older printers do not understand PDF). If you know how to get this information, how do you talk to the printer: PostScript, HPCL, PDF, other?

#22

It may be, maybe not. Windows 10 1909 latest July build, HP DeskJet 3050A printer, Ethernet/WiFi connection, age of the printer - hmmm… 6-8 years(?). I don’t know anything about the printer language. All I know is that any other software prints without any issue and never had any problem with it. This is the first time.

#23

My printer is about 20 years old. It was a high-performance laser printer I salvaged when my employer dumped it. Worked fine until a “recent” update when I discovered LO sent PDF by default instead of PostScript. I had to go to File>Printer Settings, Device tab, to force printer language back to PostScript. It may be a matter of the print manager in the OS (CUPS under Linux). Another update, in CUPS this time, broke printing. I had to configure a driver for another make and choose an adequate model to restore printing. I also tried using PCL5 (the HP printing language) because my printer understands it, but it was less efficient than using an alternate printer description.

3050A is less than 10 years old, so it might not be the same issue.

#24

On Windows, verify you have some printer as default printer.

#25

This is what I’m seeing when going to File > Printer Settings > Device: https://i.imgur.com/5mykvYw.jpg

I can’t see anything related to the printer language. It’s set as the standard printer.

#26

Windows update is highly likely the culprit, see BleepingComputer. Following the links to the Microsoft website shows a string of links to further updates to try to correct the printer problem. Hang for a rough ride with printing in Windows for a while. My printer had a load of settings changed 2 days ago but cannot collate any more, I’m off to print from Linux until MS resolves this debacle.

#27

How can you then explain that any other software printing every content without any problem? I’m talking about programs like Notepad, Notepad++, PDF-XChange Viewer, and not least the very outdated Google Picasa software which I’m using for viewing/printing/simple editing pictures? How then it can be a Windows problem when people in this thread have had the same problem over a year ago? C’mon. It’s ain’t rational at all.

#28

To make sure it is not a printer language issue, press the Properties button (Egenskaper) and select the Device tab. In my case, other applications printed fine but LO sent PDF to my non-PDF aware printer. Once I selected PostScript in this dialog tab, everything was back to normal.

#29

Nothing about printer language is there, only some simple settings like black-white, printing format A4/A5, DPI settings. Not much to set there.

#30

I’ve spontaneously checked printing through Calc and everything works, but not Writer? It might be a setting inside the Writter but which one? I haven’t changed anything…
