Sometimes docs are not printed

TonHafkamp · ‎10-25-2019

I recently bought a HP Laserjet pro m281fdw and on the average it works fine. I use the wireless connection. Sometimes when I print large docs I have problems. Sometimes a few pages are printed and the printer is paused? I have updated the firmware and drivers, checked all the FAQs. Can anyone help me? Do you have some suggestions for me?

Pauses in the print stream are normally associated with a few things:

- The connection is disrupted, such as a network or USB disconnection

- The printer runs out of memory and breaks the job

- Something on the sending PC is disrupted and kills the job before it can finish

The easy fix is to break your big job down into smaller bites. Print the large job off in 1/2's or 1/4's. Figure out of the problem occurs in the same spot, after a certain number of pages or after a certain amount of time for more clues.
