  • Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

    Hi
    Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
    If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
    Thanks

    Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
    Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
    m551 User Guide
    For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

  • LaserJet 200 color MFP printer - one laptop can print while the other laptop at home can't.

    My boyfriend and I set up the LaserJet 200 color MFP printer at home and installed the software on both our laptops.  I have a Dell Inspiron 700m and he's got the Lenovo T400.  I have been able to print any time from my laptop, but my boyfriend has only been able to print one document and after that there is a printer error and is not able to print nor troubleshoot.  I uninstalled and re-installed the software one more time, and again, he was only able to print one document and after that, printer error again (does not specify error).  Meanwhile, I continue to be able to print without a problem.  Anything I may be overlooking? Any help will be appreciated.

    What OS are you using?
    Which of the LaserJet 200 series printers do you have? There are several in that series and I want to make sure I'm helping with the right one.
    How is the printer connected to the computers?

  • HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw prints, but images are blurred.

    Laserjet200 (HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw) prints, but images are blurred; sometimes the entire page and other times just the right half. Staples tech said the drum could be bad. Can this be corrected? Using W7 ultimate OS.

    Hi @jimmanning ,
    I see by your post that the images are blurred. I would like to help you.
    Run a calibration on the printer.
    On the printer touch the wrench, system setup, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.
    Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
    Go to Setup, Reports, arrow down and select Diagnostics Report.
    I have provided a document with more steps for running a cleaning and checking print driver settings.
    Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
    Remove the toner and check to see if there is any toner on drum.
    Make sure the paper type is selected to the media that you are using, not the default setting unspecified.
    Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
    What were the results of Diagnostics Page and Print Quality Page?
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
    What are the Ink levels?
    Was there any damage on the toners?
    Have a nice day!

  • HP LaserJet CP1525nw Color Alignment Issue

    Hi,I am using the HP LaserJet 1525nw Color Laser Printer. It is half a year old and equipped with the original color cartridges. Since a few days, the colors are extremely misaligned.The "Diagnosis Page" clearly shows misaligned angles an page one.The colored angles are misaligned by up to 2 millimeters. I started calibrating the printer over and over, always checking the diagnosis prints in between.After 6 calibrations I have reached almost satisfactuary results but misalignment could still be clearly seen. A 7th calibration made it all worse again. Does this lead anywhere? Shouldn't calibration work in the first place?Has anybody faced the same problem and has got a solution? Any help is kindly appreciated. Best regards Ilko 

    I too bought one of these printers and as with the other posters experienced colour misalignment.Being told to 'replace the toner cartridges' every time it misaligns is really not acceptable. It seems that this printer is just doomed to go out of alignment and there isn't anything that can be done about it. It would be nice if HP acknowledged this and came up with some sort of resolution but I doubt that it will happen. Having also experienced problems with the previous HP colour laserjet it looks like HP have lost the quality that was a trademark of their laser printers.

  • HT4356 Connecting iPhone 4 AirPrint to HP Laserjet 1525nw

    I have followed all instructions for my HP Laserjet 1525nw color, and my iPhone4 still can't find any AirPrinters. Both devices connected to same wireless network. Help!

    Hi,
    The Color LaserJet CP1525 support Airprint, however require the latest firmware to enable the feature.
    Ensure the printer connected to the same network as your iPhone, be sure to update the firmware via your computer and then check for any change:

    If you still see any issue please clarify your router brand and model.

  • Postscript na HP LASERJET CP1525NW COLOR

    A minha impressora é uma HP Laserjet 1525nw color.
    Instalei o postscript na minha CP1525NW e as imagens impressas estão lindas!! Só que tem 3 problemas.
    1- No Photoshop eu não consigo fazer a impressora imprimir (paisagem) horizontal, o papel segue vertical por dentro da impressora e a impressão sai atravessada.  Nunca a impressora imprime no sentido do papel. Se eu usar o Photoshop ou Photoshop lightroon.
    2- No Adobe Ilustrator, a impressão sai correta, mas não consigo fazer ela imprimir mais que uma cópia. Se tiver 30 cópias de um documento, tenho que mandar imprimir 30 vezes.  Imagina a lentidão de ter que esperar o computador mandar o job pra impressora todas as 30 vezes.
    3- Se eu disser ao driver que a impressão é em escala de cinza (preto e branco), o photoshop imprime monocromático azulado e o ilustrator é mais próximo do preto e branco mas é lilás. Não tem jeito (pelo menos não consegui até agora) de fazer o photoshop e o ilustrator terem o mesmo padrão de impressão.
    Em PCL-5 a impressora não apresenta esses problemas, mas a imagem é muito inferior e pra foto não tem como eu usar PCL-5 ou PCL-6, Tanto as cores como a resolução da imagem ficam muito feias se comparadas ao Postscript.
    O mesmo problema que ocorre com o driver postscript do windows update, ocorre também com o driver fornecido pela HP.

  • Hp laserjet 4500 color printer connection questions

    I've got a HP 4500 color laser printer which I bought in 2000.  Model # 4084A  Serial number jphcf07074.  I used it at my business on a network with a ethernet card connection.  The business is closed, and the ethernet card has died.  I am trying to connect this printer to my computers at home, but they do not have the connections for the standard printer cable.  Is there a converter to USB or other idea on how to connect?   My laptop runs on XP and my desktop runs Vista. Thanks.

    There are USB to Parallel convertors, but results vary greatly and I have not seen a model that is reported to work well in Vista.
    Your best bet may be to replace the network card, you might give eBay a look.

  • Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

    Hi !
    OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
    1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
    start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
    turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
    all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
    2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
    impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.

    Hi @Up205, 
    I see by your post that you are having issues manually printing two-sided. I can help you with this.
    The software for this model on Windows 8.1 is the Basic Solution Software and Driver. This basic software solution provides print and scan functionality only. Did you download and install the newest drivers?
    HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw Drivers.
    Check to make sure Bidirectional Support is Enabled.
    Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, left click Printer Properties, on the Ports tab, put a check beside Enable Bidirectional Support.
    You might have to restart the computer.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Laserjet CP1025nw color, unable to change Print density

    Hi,
    I need to raise the "Print Density" to 5 (for pcb toner transfer) on my Laserjet
    CP1025nw color, but when I open the printer properties I do not have that option
    in the device settings tab, despite what is said on the help page of that model.
    OS: Windows XP
    The printer is on the USB port.
    The pilot is: HP LaserJet Professional CP1020 Series + last update
    How can I change that setting ?
    Please help !!!
    Thank you in advance for any help you can bring !
    All the best,
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From what you describe you want to increase your toner density on your subsequent print jobs. First of all, if you have not, you should uninstall this printer and make sure that the drivers are the most up to date using the website I will link below :
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4052972
    Here you should also check for your firmware to be sure that it is up to date. 
    I would also, both before and after, check under "Printer Preferences" (not properties) and see if there is a way to change the density under the Paper/Quality tab. 
    Let me know if this helps you out!

    I installed both the PCL6 and PostScript drivers on my Surface Pro 3 to print to my Color LaserJet CP1525nw.  The printer is connected to my router.  The printer prints but only in grayscale.  What can I do to be able to print in color and continute to print through my router?

    Hi @PaDunc ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues printing in color from the printer connected to the router. I would be happy to help you.
    Please clarify, if the printer is connected to the router by a ethernet or USB cable?
    Did you install just the Universal Print Drivers or did you try the Full Feature Software also?
    I would recommend the Full Feature Software if that isn't one of the drivers you have already tried.
    Try and print the Supplies Status page to see if you have color, just to rule out a hardware issue.
    Printing or Viewing the Supplies Status Page.
    Make sure the greyscale option isn't enabled in the print driver.
    1. From Devices and Printers, right click your printer.
    2. Then click the Printer Properties, Preferences button.
    3. Click the Color tab.
    4. Make sure Print in Grayscale isn't checked.
    Did the colors print?
    What are the toner levels?
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?

  • HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP printing & scanning problems

    Ever since I purchased this multifunction color printer, it has been unreliable. My Mac Mini running the latest OS (currently Mavericks OX 10.9.2) will be printing and scanning fine, and then at some point it can't find the scanner, the printing slows to an amazing crawl, and then the printing stops altogether. I have repeatedly attempted to set up the printer under Preferences and have installed the latest drivers from the HP website. When that works, it's a short-term fix; eventually, the bugs come back. The darn thing won't scan or print again, and I'm pretty fed up. I paid a premium price for a premium color multifunction printer for my home, and it has been nothing but a problem. Help!

    Hello StoopBoy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
    I see that you have an HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP being operated on a Mac 10.9.2. The CM1415fnw will not maintain a continual connection to the computer displaying errors and very slow printing. Since you have done a great job already troubleshooting the issue some of the steps I suggest will have already been done by yourself.
    I suggest you take these steps to help resolve the issue:
    1. Reset the Printing Systems by following this Apple Document: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
    2. Uninstall the HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP with this HP document: Uninstall HP printer software.
    3. Repair disk permissions on the Mac.
    4. Check for and install any and all updates on the Mac.
    5. Downlaod and Install the printer HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP software.
    I hope this helps and will allow you to have more continual functionality with your Laserjet.
    Thanks,
    JERENDS
