“Unable to store job at printer”

HP Printer error: Unable to store job at printer

Saw this error while setting up a HP Color LaserJet 3525 printer, with the HP Postscript Universal Print Driver (UPD).

The problem was caused by several factors:

  • not doing an “Update Configuration” after installing the print driver.
  • send a 250 page report to the printer.
  • being forced to use the HP Postscript Universal Print Driver.

The fix was to run “Update Configuration” option.

Have I mentioned that I loath the HP UPD??

Oh, yes I have:
Still a pack of cheap bastards
HP still dragging their feet on the Universal Print Driver
HP Universal Print Driver – shame it doesn’t work with Novell Netware
