Color laserjet 2605 DN

I am running Windows 7 (64) and have a CLJ 2605 DN printer. I can not get the printer to print in color. I have tried via usb and over the network. I tried the HP universal printing PCL 5 driver from the website, with no luck. I also allowed windows to find and install its own version via PNP, same results, it uses the same driver.
When i go into the printer preferences the print feature, print all text as black is disabled.
please help.

I am having the same problem with the Magenta cartridge... Have you found a fix for this?

  • How do I install my color laserjet 2605 dn on my windows vista laptop.

    I have been using an HP Color Laserjet 2605 dn on my aging Windows XP computer.  Now that the system is becoming unreliable, I purchased a new HP desktop with Windows 7.  My printer is not compatible with Win7, so my other option is to use it on my HP laptop with Win Vista.
    According to what I have read,  this printer should be Windows Vista compatible.  However, when I try to install the software, I keep getting an error message that I need to be logged on as administrator or I can choose "run as administrator" or something like that.  I followed all those steps, and cannot get past this error message.  And, I AM logged on as administrator.
    What can I do to get this software installed and use the printer again?  It prints wonderfully, does everything I want, including automatic duplex printing.
    Thanks for any help.

  • HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer

    I really love my HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer but haven't been able to successfully install it in my brand new MacBook Air 1.7 despite several attempts.
    I have downloaded the correct Firmware Upgrade 20120928 v2.4 from HP Drivers web page. Unlocked RFU to ON position and installed the firmware. Added HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer via USB, as required and my MacBook correctly identifies it as such. Though the driver I have chosen is HP Color LaserJet 2605 since the one for 1600 is not available in the database. The printer responds positively during the upgrade but later does not print. I can see the print command being transmitted to the printer but it stays dead.
    Please help and let me know stepwise how to do it correctly.

    Just upgraded my printer to HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw.... Problem solved.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

    Ever since installing the printer driver update today, I have been unable to print anything. When I go to print something, the printer queue comes up and shows the document to be printed with the following message underneath "Finally, send the print file..." I have taken the steps to reset the printing system, deleting the printer and adding it back, deleting .plist files related to the printer, etc., etc.
    In the process of adding the printer, when I select Print Using: "AutoSelect" the computer sits there for a while like it is trying to read the drivers and displays this message: "no matching architecture in universal wrapper" If I manually select the printing software, it lists two drivers - when I select the first one, and click to "add", I get the same message "no matching architecture in universal wrapper" and have to manually configure the installable options. When I select the second driver, I get the message that "Some of the software for the printer is missing. You may not be able to print to 'HP Color LaserJet 2605.' Please reinstall the printer's software."
    I've done all I know to do and have been able to find on the forums. Does anyone have any clue what the problem is or if there is a workaround?

    So here is a new development...
    After uninstalling everything I could find related to this printer and trying everything new, I decided to try and re-load the software from the disc that came with the computer. I was able to go into the HP EWS Configuration and look at the settings of my printer (viewed through a browser - Safari).
    From within that browser, when I clicked on the option to Print Info Pages and then clicked on "Print" for Print Supplies Page, it worked. The printer printed the page and any of the "Info Pages" I can access from that configuration application (via Safari).
    Why will it print something through that and not from any other program (including just trying to print a web page in Safari)??
    Any ideas?!

  • HP LaserJet 2605

    There seems to be a few problems with poor color printing qualities.
    Laser colours don't match screen colours on 2605dn

    I have a LaserJet 2605dn. I recently replaced all 3 colour toner cartridges (with the exception of the black). When I printed a photo from PS CS3 the colours-especially the skin tones were off.
    Before I replaced the cartridges the colour printing was fine.
    What has changed the output of the 2605dn since I replaced the cartridges?

    HP 1300 Laserjet & HP 2605dn Laser Jet printers print density problem
    Options
    03-02-2009 12:49 PM
    I have both an HP 1300 b/w and HP 2605dn color laser printer.  In the last week both printers have changed the output density. The 1300 print is coming out lighter than it used to, and the 2605 is not print the color tones as it used to. What used to be orange is now only yellow.Other colors are not right either. I can compare them to output a few weeks earlier, and they are much lighter and different color tones.
    Both printers have plenty of toner in all cartridges. The toner cartridge on the 1300 was changed 2 weeks ago. The toner on the 2605 is 3/4 full.
    This was like something got into the printer drivers and reset some parameters on both printers at once.
    Can anyone help me here to check this out and how to correct the problem?

    Hi
    I ned help. Color Laserjet 2605 dn. When I print a test sheet colors look normal but every time I print a file from any DTP prog. the colors are very washed out.
    I seem to have no software control of how the printer prints, so how can I get good solid colors to print accurately.
    I set up using correct ink and paper etc.
    Hope you can help
    Thanks
    Can we get an expert to address these multiple problems-please?

  • HP Color LaserJet 2600n - now have to download and install drivers

    With Leopard, my printer HP Color Laserjet 2600n was automatically identified and installed - no problem, just perfect
    Now I had to download and install the HP drivers, as only HP Color LaserJet 2605 drivers are basically available. And if you use them they don't work. Printer seems to work but never prints.
    A pity ... why making things worse?

    I haven't used it myself but the following may be what you are looking for: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?mt=8

  • Can't print with HP Color LaserJet dn2605

    I haven't been able to print my HP Color LaserJet from Early 2008 Mac Pro using 10.9.4.  I have attempted to print on the network and USB to no avail.  I have deleted the printer, reset all printers and scanners.  Once I delete or reset the printers, I always have to recycle/rebounce the printer so it can be found.  Once found and I select it by the "Use" drop down, there are two(2) HP Color LaserJet 2605 profiles.  I can select either one and sets-up the printer.  Once I attempt to use the printer, the print job goes to the queue and few minutes later the printer starts initiating and sounds like that a paper is getting ready to move and it stops or quits.  I then receive the yellow light a problem occurs, thats all the farther it goes.  I have the latest printer driver update 19.9..  I also have reloaded the OS 3-4 times.  Here is what I receive the print queue when it fails: "Stopped - Unable to write print data: Broken pipe".

    That's sounding like a printer problem, not software.
    But just in case, try deleting the HP folder from /Library/Printers, then Reset the Printing System and add the printer again.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    If that doesn't work, use a browser and connect to your router, and see if you can identify the printer in "connected devices."
    (a printer that changes IP address whenever there is some change on your local net will give symptoms like that)

  • Firmware question for Color LaserJet: Two computers on my network, Win XP and Win 7. Does it matter?

    I don't understand firmware, but I know I needed to update my CP2025dn printer's firmware.  I used my older computer to do this.  If I had used my newer computer with Windows 7, would this affect my printing from either computer?  Thanks.

  • Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

    I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server.  I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers.  Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer.  I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing.  Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn prefers Macs over PCs!

    I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn on my home network, with two Macs (G5, MacBook) and two PCs running Windows XP Pro. I used Bonjour to set up the LaserJet on the Windows machines. The printer has been working well for the past 4 months until just this past week, when the Windows machines just stopped printing. In the system tray a printer icon appears with a red question mark and a bubble that says "This document failed to print" along with a few more details.
    I've tried the usual (power off and on printer, power cycle DSL modem/router, uninstalling the printers and reinstalling) without success. I've searched the Microsoft and HP forums. In short, I've spent a few hours troubleshooting. The funny thing is that the Macs print fine. My kludge/fix is to set up the G5 to "share" the LaserJet and when I create a new printer on the Windows machines using that ("LaserJet 2605 @ G5") it works.
    Just wondering if anyone else has come across this weirdness.

    I am so glad it helped. I found it while trying to figure out why my Vista box will only print 2/3 of a page then it locks up hopelessly. I managed to finally get my XP box to print today with help from the forums too! If you come across anything about my Vista problem please look for that item and post. I'd really appreciate it!

  • Can't install HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP at notebook HP Pavilion

    I bought new notebook HP Pavilion 13-a051sr with Windows 8.1 (x64) onboard.
    I'm trying to install HP Scan.
    While installing all-in-one HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP using "CM1312series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA1-v5.1.exe"  can not get after the dialog window "Locating the printer". Printer could not be found even if I write down printer' IP-address. The latest printer firmware is already installed. Firewall is disabled, antivirus is closed.
    I installed printer without any problems using it IP-address. What can I do in order to install scanner module? 

    HP Print Drivers

  • Software for HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and found that I could no longer print to  my HP CM1312nfi.
    This is usually a problem with HP at every upgrade, but this time, they appear to have offloaded the driver download process to Apple.
    My printer is connected wirelessly through a time capsule by IP address—the physical, not the virtual, e.g: 169.254.xx.xx instead of 10.0.1.x.
    When I try to download the driver by bonjour or IP, I get the following error message:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    Is this truly a Software Update server error, and if so, any clue when it will be resolved?
    I am able to print with the generic driver as of now, but fax and scan capabilites are gone. The add fax dialog  lists no devices.
    Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?
    Thanks for your time and attention.

    Of course, once I posted this, I tried again and downloaded the driver without issue.
    My second question still stands, however:
    Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?

    Hello @ Averus89, 
    Welcome to the HP forum. 
    I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
    I would like to help you with this issue. 
    If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
    would set a manual DNS. 
    I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
    The DNS to try is:
    Primary: 209.244.0.3
    Secondary: 209.244.0.4
    Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again. 
    Let me know if this helps.

  • HP Color Laserjet 4600dn - presets don't save

    We have an HP Color Laserjet 4600dn which is networked and is using Appletalk.
    The printer has two paper trays-- #1 is a pulldown rack which will hold various paper sizes and #2 is a 500 sheet tray for letter size paper.
    In OS X 10.4 we could go into the "Paper Feed" feature in the Print menu (in MS Word, for example), set the feed to Tray #2 and save this as a "preset" we called "Main Tray".
    In OS X Leopard I can no longer save the preset so the paper is always fed out of tray #1 unless (1) there is no paper in tray #1 or (2) I manually set the paper feed feature each time.
    HP does not have a newer drive on its website and Leopard has the CLJ 4600 in its list of printer drivers and has settings for features such memory and duplex.
    Anyone have an idea how to get the very useful "presets" function working again?
    Thanks
    Rich

    This is a known problem and will most likely have to wait for an update from Apple.
