Printer driver will not allow color printing

I have a new Windows 7-64 bit OS on my new computert, and an HP CP1518ni (1500 series) color laserjet printer that has worked fine under Vista (32 bit) previously.
I went to the driver support site, since my installation disk didn't enable Windows 7, and got the universal UPD PCL6 driver, as indicated, and downloaded it (upd-pcl6-x64-5.4.0.11744.exe) and ran it.
It prints just fine in B&W, not in color. When I go to printer preferences it just says "color - no" and there I'm stuck.
Can anyone help? I can't use a B&W printer for all my work, so I can't switch to this better computer yet.

to KB123:
did you remember setting your driver to only print in grayscale? since there is an option to do that on the drivers installed on your computer.
If you're not sure, try to go to your printer icon under Printers and Faxes (for windows XP) or PRINTERS (for Vista and 7)
Right click the printer icon and go to printing preferences. Under FEATURE tab, see if there is a check mark on the print in grayscale (its somewhere almost at the bottom of the screen)
Or else, try to uninstall the drivers of your printer and re.install.

I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

Since upgrading to Lion OS, Firefox (6.0.2) will not allow the print option in Preview (5.5) for PDFs. The Rainbow wheel turns until I eventually force close.

I cannot print wirelessly to printer or to Evernote, etc. Print option will not work. If I use Safari, the PDF will print.

Most likely culprits are one of these:
com.vmware.kext.vmnet          0073.02.98
com.vmware.kext.vmioplug          0073.02.98
com.vmware.kext.vsockets          90.1.5
com.vmware.kext.vmci          90.1.1
Boot into safe mode, put the machine to sleep, wait about 10 minutes, wake it, and see if the issue persists. If not, dump vmware, restart normally, and repeat the sleep/wake steps.

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer driver will not update from 2.53 to 3.0

I am having an issue with installing a print driver from Epson's web site. I do not have access to the print options or any other settings of the printer when i try to FILE>PRINT. The choices are crossed off the list and say "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software."
It says my driver is version 2.53, I installed the 3.0 Driver numerous times today, one of which was with an Epson tech support representative and their conclusion was that it is something wrong with my computer.
The printer prints and is recognized in the print & fax utility; i can add and remove it at will, but the 2.53 will not upgrade to 3.0.
Has anyone had this problem?

Hi Apos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is this the driver you got, v3.10...

Zyxel modem will not allow wireless printing

My Netopia modem died recently and Eircom sent me a new Zyxel D1000 modem.
I have a Canon MG7150 wireless printer and I used to be able to wirelessly print from laptop, iPad and iPhone through the Netopia modem.With the new Zyxel modem I cannot connect to the printer at all.From what I have read on this forum there is no fix for this short of buying a different modem.This is not acceptable.Can Eircom provide a modem which allows wireless printing such as the Netopia previously supplied.Otherwise I see little point in remaining an Eircom Broadband customer.

I found a way to get this working. In the Home Networking/LAN setup set RIP direction to 'none' and RIP version to n/a or RIP1 depending on what's available. Also disable IGMP snooping.

Canon printer driver will not install

I am trying to install a canon s9000 printer driver on my ibook g4. It goes through almost the entire installation process and then afterwards says there were errors installing.
I was printing just fine before using my airport. But then suddenly i was unable to print one day. So I deleted my printers in the printer setup utility I then chose add a new printer and it would not let me choose the s9000. It basically came up in my rendevous printer list I would select it, and then an error box came up. So I redownloaded the driver from Canon, but now it wont install.
HELP!!!!

Just read your post...
I have encountered same prob with canon iP4200. Can install driver on iBooks but not desktop iMac G5. Soooooo frustrating.
Canon and apple little help.
Any suggestions, please (if you have solved your problem)?

Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
Pertaining Specs:
- Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
- Vista Home SP1 (I think)
- Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
- EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

Print driver is not shown in "Print Using:" menu

I have a HP psc 2410 printer that I have connected directly to my Mac, but I want to connect it though my Windows PC which is my home server. The printer works fine when it is connected via the USB cable and the driver listed after "Print Using:" in the add new printer box is called "hp all-in-one 2.2.9". When I try to add the same printer via the Windows network I see it the printer, but when I try to find the driver in the "Print Using:" menu, I don't find it. How can it be there for the USB connection, but not for the network connection? Where do I find it, if it isn't in that driver list?
Thank you!

Print drivers written using the older Mac printer driver model specifically list the type of connections they support. Most of these old style drivers do not support Windows printing. I think that is what you are seeing.

Imac optical drive will not allow disc insertion. (blocked)

Hello out there.
I have a 2009 27" imac (intel) with an optiarc disc drive. After installing an update a year or so ago, the disc drive started making cycling type noises at startup, and would occasionally not allow insertion of a disc. Then it would accept a disc only rarely, and recently not at all. The disc will only go in about a third of the way, then is physically blocked.
I want to run the Apple hardware test on my startup disc, but that's obviously a problem since I can't insert it.
If anyone can offer guidence, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, jakeonbell

It may be broken or you might just need to do a PRAM reset 2-3 times. Instructions for the reset are in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

Firefox will not allow page printing since today's update. Why? I can still print from Thunderbird and I.E.

I think I received a Firefox up date today. Now when I try to print from any page on the browser I get a blank page. Thinking I was having a computer problem I reluctantly booted Internet Explorer. No problem printing. I went to Thunderbird and have not trouble printing any of my emails, so I think the problem is in Firefox. I have been a Firefox user for years and never had this problem. I am running Win XP

You're welcome. I look forward to the day that Mozilla writes all new print-related code so we don't have to deal with problems like this.

Printer driver will not install

I just bought an HP Deskjet D1520 printer. This is what happens: I connect it to my laptop via USB cable. I put in the software disc and began installation. I open the installation application and I get through a few pages. I get to the page that asks me to choose my device and I select the printer, then click Continue. As soon as I click Continue, the application quits immediately and a window pops up informing me that the application quit unexpectedly. I have sent a bug report to Apple, but no reply yet. It does this every single time I try to install the driver, at the same exact place. Help? My laptop is a G3 Panther 10.3.9.

Related problem. I am using an iMAC G5 running 10.3.9. Purchased an HP Officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. Printer installer fails when attempting to install the fax drivers. I have downloaded both updates of the driver (9.7 and 9.7.1) from HP and the install failed again at the fax driver install.
I have gone stepwise with HP phone support for both install and uninstall for each (9.7 and 9.7.1) and the installs have all failed at the same point. HP's assessment is that their product say's it is 10.3 compatible and since it fails only after reaching the the fax driver install, it must be an Apple problem.
If anyone can provide guidance, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Original Intel Graphics Driver will not allow me to update it

HP ENVY 23-d006a TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC
operating system is microsoft 8 (64-bit)
Whenever I try downloading the Intel Graphics driver from the download software and drivers page , I will then attempt to update it. however, a box pops up saying "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. update has been cancelled. (9996)"
I am pretty certain that it should be compatible with the pc.
help is much appreciated

pikablu93,
Thank you for the replay, not the number that we need.
Here is a link that shows how to find the product number, that way we can pull the exact driver for your computer.
Once you have the product number you can go to HP.com and download the driver.
Have a good day.

My HP Photosmart Printer/Scanner will not scan since installing Maverick help

Since installing Maverick my HP printer/scanner will not scan documents print or save them, how can I fix this?

this worked for my HP printer/scanner:
Try:
uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
if your printer is there in the column on the left:
control-click on your printer
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
if your printer is not in the column on the left, go to the next step.
do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
if you connect to your printer/scanner via wifi, reset the wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
if you do not connect via wifi, go to the next step
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple.If it won't, then try going to the HP website and there may be a new software package for your printer that is compatible with Mavericks. Download and install it.
