Windows 10: HP C309 Printer is getting duplicate job requests from computer

When I want to print a document, I click on Print for 1 copy. My HP C-309 printer prints the document successfully. BUT, it tries to print another copy of the same document and gets an error code. The document is stuck in the queue. I DID NOT request this second print job. Why is my pc sending this second print job? I have removed the printer and reinstalled. I also deleted and reinstalled the print driver. I checked and there are no updates for the driver. Help!! I have one foot out the door to just throw this printer in the garbage.

Can't get my HP Printer to work on Windows 10

Greg,

I am having the same issues with my HP3600n Color LaserJet not working after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have followed your November 8th Post, details below:

Step 1 - Plug printer in by USB, power on printer, watch for animation in System Tray shown while searching for driver.

• There was no animation in the system try after plugging in the USB cable and powering on the printer.

Click on it to monitor driver install. It may ask to go to Windows Update to pull in the driver.

Step 2 - Type Devices and Printers in Start Search box, open location, do you see the printer there?

• Yes. The printer is listed.
• Set as Default, if it won't print right click to Troubleshoot.
  • The printer responds to a print request but, instead of printing the sent job it prints out a PCL error as follows:

PCL XL error

Subsystem KERNEL

Error: IllegalTag

Operator: 0x98

Position: 3

Step 4 - Typed "Update" in Start Search box, Check for Updates, install all including Recommended, expediting restart when requested, going back to Check for more until none are offered.

• Received notification "Your device is up to date. Last checked: Today, 2:52 PM (it is now 2:52 PM)

Did the printer driver arrive? No.

Step 5 - Download the basic driver (if no scan) or software (if scanning needed) package for the printer from the HP Support Downloads webpage for your exact make/model. Install the software with the printer USB unplugged, wait for it to prompt to plug
it in.

Let us know how this works. It may require a few extra steps.

• Downloaded Dot4x64.msi from HP support. Installed the software (with printer USB unplugged), plugged it in when prompted. This driver did not work. I received the same KERNEL error as above.

• Downloaded HP_CLJ3600_64Bit_HB.exe from HP support. Installed the software (with printer USB unplugged), plugged it in when prompted. This driver did not work. I received the same KERNEL error as above.

So, at this point, I have followed all steps with no success. I can "see" the printer in Devices and Printers however, the printer ICON doesn't look like a HP3600n, it is the Windows default printer ICON. Normally when the properly drivers are installed
the ICON is customized to look like the installed device or printer.

Do you have any other suggestions that I might try?

Thanks!

why are print jobs not going to wireless HP 4652 printer suddenly?

I have sent many print jobs from HP Notebook to HP 4652 all in one printer scanner fax, that do not print. At online suggestion through HP Print help, I have turned off everything (both printer and notebook) and sometimes I may get at one print job executed
but then several show they went to print, and do not show up in the cue. Any ideas? A message sometimes comes up that suggests many things may be causing this, but I've checked on all possibilities and cannot seem to fix the problem. Anyone else having the
same trouble? Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
