C4780 printing problem (wireless) [ Edited ]

[1203djm]

If I start from all devices off ... I can print one document (wirelessly) then ...nothing.

On the second print I get a partial feed, "printing" on the LED, but nothing coming through, no matter how long I wait.

The computer (HP Paviliion Win7 - 64bit home premium (Bought Jul 10)) registers a transfer for the print, the C4780 (only taken out of the box after the laptop purchase) starts to feed the paper which then stops ... and then nothing.

I have to then cancel all print docs, close everything down and start over.

When cancelling printing or shutting down it makes a ratchetting and shuddering noise, like a roller or missed gears.

It does not sound healthy ..........Have I missed a transit restraint somewhere?

What is going on?

Any Help please.

I found that in printer setup that it would sometimes reset to Letter rather than A4, I have since set up a custom print shortcut template that seems to hold the preferences ( apart from not printing in reverse order)

I am also using HP paper ........ 

It should have the latest driver installed (although I could have installed the 32-bit rather than the 64-bit (or vice-versa?!!))

Trying to load again (to be sure) it does not recognise the C4780 device is connected (In printer control panel it is online and connected)

Help 

Edit:

I have been searching for any relevent posts but the closest I have got was with this title (on this board):

"All-in-One F340 will print only one time then must reboot"

Is there no support on this Board?

I see lots of 0 replies to questions.

Try installing below two updates:

Thanks David,

I have downloaded those recommendations; the second definitely did not have an effect (no device relevent, not needed), the first I'm not sure.

I did completely remove and reinstall all drivers and software and printer about two weekends ago; printing is intermittent but improved.

If the printer stalls (paper part-feed, the printing display is showing, but .... nothing) then I cancel printing, wait, and sometimes the intended document prints.

I have noticed that the printer cartridges do not last long (I have hardly printed anything).

I will see how your advice goes, but unless something miraculous (or there is another reason and cure) then I think I'll be changing this printer.

Thanks anyway.
