printer : hp color laserjet CP1215
why printer (colour laser jet cp1215) does not connect to my mac laptop, what can i do???

Welcome to the HP Forums tamara1234,
I see by your post that you are looking for Mac drivers.
I can help you with this issue.
I have provided the drivers page for the Laserjet CP1215. There are no Mac drivers available for this printer.
It was only intended for the Windows operating system only. Sorry about that.

  • My HP Color Laserjet CP1215 only prints when sending a command from a distant computer (shared pr.)

    My HP Color Laserjet CP1215 won't print when I send a print command from the computer to which the printer is connected to.  The printer is shared. When my colleague sends a print command from another computer, the printer does his job.

    I am currently in the same boat. I love how you posted this legitimate issue 3 years ago and there is still no resolution. It really reflects on the company's character and attitude toward their customers.
    Hopefully this will get a response.

  • HT1338 i can't attach my hp color laserjet cp1215 printer.

    i can't attach my hp color laserjet cp1215 printer.

    Adhvaresh,
    "attach" is a word we usually use for plugging in cables - but I don't think that is what you mean.
    If you want a driver for that model laserjet, I suggest you use the foo2hp set of drivers. Install Foomatic and ghostscript from here:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/foomat ic
    Then, install foo2HP from:

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1215 on XP home network will not print from second computer.

    Win XP SP3 home network with two computers and one HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer(USB) that is shared.   Computer one prints just fine, but second computer cannot print.
    Print job goes to the queue and says "printing" and stays there for about two minutes and then says "error - printing" and then I have to delete the print job from the print queue.
    Downloaded latest CP1215 print driver and installed it to second computer, added printer just fine.  No errors until the print job enters the queue. Downloaded the CP1215 Diagnostic Utility, but it will not work on second computer.  Have not tried it on first computer when job errors.

    The Firewalls are disabled and from my laptop you can view all of the shared
    Folders on the Desktop with the CP1215 attached via USB.
    When I issue the print from my laptop that is on the same network, you see the
    print file show up in the CP1215 print queue of the Desktop the CP1215
    is USB attached to and then disappears about 15 seconds later.  Here is
    how it appears on in the Desktop CP1215 Print Queue before it disappears

    I've also download/installed the latest drivers.  When I reinstall the CP1215 on my laptop from
    the Desktop, the "PRINT TEST PAGE works from the Laptop but then all print commands after
    that do not work.
    I see from my Google search I'm not the only one having this problem
    ANY IDEAS what to try next?

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1215 won't print on local computer

    I am using Windows XP.
    I have an HP Color LaserJet CP1215 connected to my computer by a USB cable.  It has printed many times, but I don't use it often.  I turned it on this morning to print an excel spreadsheet in color.  I use an HP Laserjet 4100 connected on a regular printer port for most of my printing.  Anyway this printer will not print from any program.  It will not print a test page.  I turned it off and on; restarted my computer; switched out USB cables; downloaded a new driver from HP.  I also download the diagnostic tool from HP and when it scans it, it finds it and says it is fine, but it will not print a test page from the diagnostic tool.  I have stopped the printer spool and restarted it.  I have done absolutely everything I can think of or that I have seen as a solution on HP.com and in my windows printer diagnostic tool.
    The weird thing is it prints when connected to another computer.  I hauled it to another office and connected it to another computer (Windows 7) and when connected it told me there was a problem with the driver, so I downloaded a driver from HP.com and it worked fine.   The REALLY weird thing is I can share it on my computer, go to another office, add it as a network printer and it works.    Why would it work as a shared printer, but not work for the computer to which it is physically connected?
    When I attempt to print, the document shows up in the printer spool and says "printing."  Then after a few minutes, it says "deleting" even though I have not manually deleted it.
    Anyone have any ideas?  I am fresh out.  I hate to think I have to walk to another office in my building to print to a printer that is right beside me.    Although it may be a good exercise.

  • Using HP wireless Upgrade Kit with HP Color Laserjet CP1215

    I just recently purchased the HP Color Laserjet CP1215 and attempted to install and use the upgrade wireless kit but I can't get it to install.  It will go through the process until it gets to the point where it either can not find the PC adapter or that the PC and printer adapter don't connect.  I am not sure what to do.  The only error message I receive is that the HPWlan.exe file has an error and will not load.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You need to post more detail. Which Windows? Describe Wifi and software more. Otherwise the number of people who could help you is narrowed to just those who have your printer and the same wifi upgrade kit.

  • Printing in snow leopard with hp Color LaserJet CP1215

    I recently bought an iMac, but i've found since i've had it, that there isn't a driver currently available for mac for this HP Color LaserJet CP1215 printer. It's the only printer I have and I love it. I really need to be able to print on it. Could someone let me know if there is a driver that I don't know about, or a way to make it work?

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer drivers location

    Where on my hard drive has the ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win32-en.exe file from the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer support page installed the needed drivers?

    Hi @zenny ,
    I can help you with locating the drivers on the computer.
    Here are the instructions for running the Plug and Play drivers.
    Click the Download only button and save this file.
    Double click on the downloaded file. The self-extracting process will appear.
    Click to accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next.
    Driver installation begins. Driver files are pre-installed during this process.
    A screen pops up to prompt to connect the USB cable. Insert the USB cable.
    Device is connected, waiting for PnP to finish installing driver.
    Click Finish to complete software installation.
    They extract to the temp folder on the computer.
    Press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line.Type in %temp%. The folder should start with 7z.....
    Depending which operating system you are using, I would suggest downloading the Full Feature Software and Drivers if you are still having issues with the Plug and Play drivers.
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

    Hi Bertl1,
    Although the HP web site says the CP1215 is not compatible with Macs, there is an open source free driver available. It is a 3-part download/install. Get ghostscript, foomatic, and foo2hp:

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215 - Color printing - Page prints yellow background

    Good morning --- I don't believe I have posted to this forum before, so I hope someone can help me solve this issue. 
    My CP1215 color LaserJet -
    printing pref set to color-
    printing a document with colored icons, etc. or color photograph
    Results: the "background" or what should be the white area, is yellow - bright yellow.  
    If I switch printing pref to B/W, I get a black/white document or photo.  Of course, no color.
    I have replaced the yellow toner cartridge (HP product) TWICE, the second one just this morning.
    There are NO error messages.
    Tried running the cleaning tool; disconnect/reconnect, etc.  No luck.
    I gave up trying to solve this issue 2 years ago, and have kept the pref set to black/white with no tech issues.
    Now, however, I have the need to print in color, and I would really like to figure out how to correct this problem.
    This printer is a monster - ~30 lbs or more, and I would rather not have to haul it to a computer shop or ship it.
    If anyone out there has had this problem, please let me know how/if you were able to resolve it.  Many thanks.
    Susan - Threecats

    Hi Threecats
    I understand when you print in color you are getting a yellow background.
    I have included a document for troubleshooting the all yellow background printing.
    Print out a configuration page from Solution eight first. This document  will provide steps for cleaning and calibrating the printer. The Print quality troubleshooting page will identify the print cartridge that is causing the issue.
    Let me know the results when you compare it to the one in the document and if the background printed yellow again. Also the Print quality troubleshooting page results.
    What kind of paper are you using?

  • I just purchased a new imac and my HP Color Laserjet CP1215 pinter is not supported by HP.  is there a workaround/third party software that will make it work?

    I just purchased a new imac and after connecting my HP CP1215 color laserjet printer found that HP does not support this printer.  I contacted Apple support and they could not supply any help.  Is there a alternate way/software avalable to make this printer work with my imac?

    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?

  • My HP Color LaserJet CP1215 has colored text quality problems

    My printer was working fine, but in the last month, I have been unable to correct a printing issue, which involves colored text that double prints or is blurry, it looks like it has a shadow mostly any color has a red shadow.  I have replaced all the cartridges, checked to make sure the tape was pulled off all and performed a cleaning, and all tests I could find or had access to.  I am beyond frustrated and am ready to throw it out the window.  Does anyone have any solutions?

    Don't quit keep with it, I almost quit because I was getting mad.  They kept harping on changing paper, changing paper.  My paper had sat in it for some time in a room where temperature changes was up and down.  The paper could have dried out to much or may have gotten moisture in it from the temperature changes.  I know it sounds crazy but change the paper with fresh paper along with calibrating it 3 or 4 times and see if you get different results.

  • My HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 recently started printing crooked.

    My Printer at work, HP Color Laserjet CP1215 recently has started printing crooked.  I have open all doors to check for anything stuck in the printer that could be causing it to print crooked. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am not getting anywhere with what I have found on the website.
    Tawnya Slagle

    Hi Tawnya,
    A couple of items come to mind that we can check:
    1) Paper type/specs  Make sure you're using recommended paper type for this product.
    2) Remove, restack and reload and check paper guides in the tray to ensure the guides are against the paper and if available, restock with some fresh paper.
    3) Have you recently experienced a paper jam?  Were you able to remove the page intact?  If not, there still may be a small piece of paper lodged in the printer causing the skew.  
    4)  If the above steps don't resolve, I might recommend a calibration, steps listed below.  
    Best of luck!!
    Follow these steps to calibrate the product.
    Open Toolbox .
    Windows XP: Click Start ( ), click All Programs , click HP , click your product, and then click HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Toolbox .
    Windows Vista: Click the Windows icon ( ), click All Programs , click HP , click your product, and then click HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series Toolbox .
    Click the Device Settings folder, and then click the Print Quality page.
    Under Print Quality , click Calibrate next to Calibrate Now .
    Click OK when the 'Your request has been sent to the device ' message appears on the computer. The calibration process begins.
    NOTE:Calibration might take 2 to 3 minutes. Do not turn the product off during calibration.
    When calibration ends, try printing again.
    If the issue is resolved, stop troubleshooting.
    If you are still experiencing print quality issues, repeat steps 1 through 5 in this solution. You can recalibrate the printer as many as 3 times.
