Ok.. I have had the exact same probelm with 2 printers
now...the HP 690 and now a canon MPC190.With the HP 690
it was working fine for ages and then suddenly it just
stopped printing.

HP 690:

Now all it does is when I go to print something..It only
takes a piece of paper in and then it comes up a "failure
to print" message. I have gone through all the trouble
shooter and I have reinstalled the printer but still no
go.

admin logs had these error message and got this :
"Symbolic Name: MSG_PRINT_ON_PROC_FAILED
Message: The document %1 owned by %2 failed to print on
printer %3. Win32 error code returned by the print
processor: %4. %5

Explanation
The print server is low on resources such as memory or
hard drive space, or a TCP/IP printer is not connected to
the network. It is common for this message to appear
several times; however, if this message appears more than
25 times in a 15-minute period, you might have to restart
the print spooler."

I have restarted the print spooler but still no luck.

And when the error does occur it comes up with a flashing
orange light on symbol on the printer (..a page that has
an arrow on it)

And I have looked over the printer and there are no paper
jams etc etc.


MPC190:

The printer is able to scan images as well as photocopy
but it wont print documents or letters at all.

I get these messages when I try to print:

Unable to communicate with the device
Please start "MPservice" from the services applet in the
control panel
Then please right click on the status monitor to
reconnect and try again.

and that is followed by this message:

The print job failed to complete
Reason:
Unable to communicate with device
Device turned off or disconnected

and I got this message at help and support centre:

Explanation
The program could not load a driver because the program
user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the
driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt.


User Action
To correct this problem:

Ensure that the program user has sufficient privileges to
access the directory in which the driver is installed.
Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the

Services.
