Problem with HP Color laserjet CP1515n !

Dear anyone,
My HP Color laserjet CP1515n is running wilde, because it prints every single page with black stripes on the margin. I have tryed to start the cleaning mode several times, but it does over and over again...
Please, hase anybody any experience regarding to such behaviour?...
Thanks a lot
/E

Hi - I have not seen this issue, but let me see if I can get some more information in order and try to help.
(1) Are the stripes running vertically down the page, or are they running horizontally across the page? If running horizontaly across the page, what is the distance (in millimeters) between each defect?
(2) Is the product (and cartridges) new? Did the product (and cartridges) ever work normally?
(3) Please print 5 pages that have color and then print 5 pages that only have black and white text. Do you see the defect on all 10 pages?
These types of issues are difficult to troubleshoot without seeing the defect, but maybe I can offer some help based on the answer you give.

Printing problems with HP Color Laserjet 1500L

Can anyone please help me with the following problem?
The printer will only do the first job. After that it refuses to print. The job stops, remains in the queue, and cannot be started.
Or…it looks as if it sends the print information to the printer – the green light of the printer flashes – but nothing further happens. The queue is empty and the job’s name even appears in the completed section.
The HP 1500L and the USB port are visible in the System Profiler. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver and did run Repair Disk Permissions.
I can only print again after I restarted or unplug and (re)plug the USB cable (not always). The cable is not faulty...but I'm going crazy.
I am new to the Mac world. The MacBook Pro being my first (and the way it looks definitely not the last--wonderful machine).
Any suggestions?

To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
then, install the foo2oak driver:

HP Color LaserJet CP1515n - Out of alignment, ghosting or blurred image.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope someone, possibly a member of HP staff is able to provide a solution for a problem with a Color LaserJet CP1515n printer, which has being asked quite a number of times, without a satisfactory solution, other than to replace the rather expensive toner cartridges, even if they are still usable for months after the page count is gone to zero. Where is the sense for the protection of our environment in that, having to replace near full cartridges??? I purchase only original and genuine HP cartridges, but I refuse to discard a near full unit, simply because the counter says so.
Now to the issue at hand:
Printer: HP CP1515n, model CC377A
Firmware: date code 20080813
Operating system Windows 7 Professional
Printer used as a shared network printer and runs daily through the calibration routine when switched on.
Issue present with all connected PC's, also running Windows 7.
Problem: Currently it is impossible to print pages without a blurred edge on the right hand side of an A4 page. Alignment appears to be correct on the left hand side of the page. Was able to print Diagnostics Pages ( two), which shows a parameter settings matrix from 01 to 27 and A to X and there is also a second page with a large number of squares in colors, which also show the mis-alignment.
As the "ToolboxFX" program, which is mentioned numerous times in the support pages, is not supported in Windows 7 anymore, the user has to make do with the web interface of the printer, which allows for a range of settings as well. I assume this web interface does not support the adjustment all settings on the printer.
From the diagnostics page, I assume it might be possible to adjust the parameters set out in the parameters matrix, shown in the middle of the page. I would like to know, how can this be done or at least re-set, as I think these parameters show how askew the image is printing?
I might be wrong, but I'm not convinced this mis-alignment issue is simply down to the cartridges.
Looking forward to a reply or any suggestions.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for letting me know James_LAG.
At this point it does look like a hardware issue with the printer. Please call our technical support and inquire about a replacement printer, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.

HP Color LaserJet CP1515n - Disable colour?

Hello,
We have a HP Color LaserJet CP1515n and I have made general settings to prevent students printing to it in colour. Now that's fine until they configure the print settings and turn it back to colour again.
Is there any way I can restrict access to the areas where they can set it to colour/black&white/greyscale so that they cannot get around this?

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with printing colour on your Laserjet CP 1515n. I can help you with that.Now, since I am not quite sure whether you have a software issue or a hardware issue in disguise we're going to do some of both types of troubleshooting. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Once that is done this document will outline how to troubleshoot print quality issues on the printer. If you have any issues please let me know what happens and I will be able to assist you further.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

Have you updated flash to 10.0.2? Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect? I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

Problem to print with HP Color LaserJet CP3525 (PCL 6) on Server

Hi,
I have a printer HP Color LaserJet CP3525 in a server, and I installed with the correct drivers for that but the printing output is strange. I'm trying to print in A4 paper, and everything is just printed in 1/4 of the page. The most strange is that the graphics are scaled to the 1/4 of the page while the text is exactly with the same size than the complete page, but all the letter are overlapping each other.
I also tried to print with a generic configuration and print in all the page but I can't print with color, just the black toner is used, so the quality is really bad.
Please, help me!

This sounds like a driver issue. You mention the printer being PCL6. Can you confirm which driver you are using when the 1/4 page prints occur. My guess is that it would be one of the Gutenprint drivers included with SL and this sort of output can occur when the printer driver is not supported by the printer.
Also, with regards to the Generic, which I assume is the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver included with SL, this by default is set to 300dpi. You can change this print quality setting to 600dpi, which will improve your output, especially the graphics. However this driver only supports black & white printing. So if you want to print in color from the Mac and the printer does not support PostScript, then you should look at installing the pxlmono package.
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o
Note that you will need the pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghostscript packages to use this driver suite.

Problems Installing WPSM54G with HP Color Laserjet CP2025DN

I have been trying to install the WPSM54G for use with my new HP Color Laserjet CP2025DN and cannot seem to get that to work. Although I have followed several pieces of advice in these posts and elsewhere, those do not seem to do the trick in my case.
> Checking that authentication is set to WPA and not WPA2
> Firmware/installer update
> Manual installation
> http://www.ehow.com/how_5396340_set-vista-vista-windows-linux.html
Although the printer is not on the compatibility list, neither was my Canon iPixma 4000, which connected just fine. Any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Greg Manko

Connect WPSM54G to the router with the Ethernet cable. Connect the printer to the WPSM.
Now press the reset button on the print server for 5 seconds. See if you get any print out. If you get the print out, you will find the IP address of the WPSM. Using that IP address open the setup page of the WPSM and check the wireless settings. The wireless settings of your wireless router should match with the wireless settings of the WPSM.
If you do not get the print out then run the CD that comes with WPS. When you run the CD it will search for the print server and you will find the IP address of the WPS. Once you get the IP address you can exit the setup program and open the setup page of WPS. Check the wireless settings of the router and WPS.
Once you finish changing the wireless settings of WPS, you can disconnect WPS from the router and power cycle the WPS. Now try to ping the IP address of WPS when it is wireless. If you get replies then your computer is communicating with the WPS.
Now you will need to add printer port on your computer.
You can add the printer port using the CD or you can so it manually.
Run the CD again and go to the option setup computer. Follow the instruction and at the end try to print the test page see if that works.
You can add printer port manually also.
Follow this link to add printer port manually on Windows Vista.
Follow this link to add printer port on Windows XP.

PC doesn't communicate with HP Color Laserjet 1600

Hi, my Laserjet 1600 printer worked fine with my old pc. Now i have a new pc with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and somehow it can't communicate with my printer. Printer does work. cable isn't broken. Driver won't install either. What can be the problem? I also tried the HP universal printing PCL 5

Hi Reen1604,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP Laserjet 1600 is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.

Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I get errors like:
"unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
"unable to send data to printer"
"printer not connected"
I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
deleting and re-adding my printer.
reseting my printing system
Installing Guenprint.
re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
None seem to correct the problem.
This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, a brody.
Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
I thought the issue may have been resolved.
I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

Mac lost contact with HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB

Hi,
Since a few days I can't get connection anymore with my HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB-cable. My Mac recognizes the printer with its name, also states when I plug in the USB that the printer is online. However, when I want to print documents, it states "wait until the printer is available" and no prints are generated.
Via an iMAC, I tried to print via the same USB cable, and that works fine. I tried rebooting, software updates, all the lot. Nothing worked. I found some technical details via About this MAC and the difference between my MacBook en iMAC is:
PPD-version = 16.4 on the iMAC and 17.3 on my MacBook
CUPS-version = 1.4.4 on the iMAC and 1.4.5 on my MacBook Pro
Who has any ideas what I can do the get printing again?
Thx,
Aldert

Via other threads I found the solution:
see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2640270&start=15&tstart=0
I had the same problem "Waiting for printer to become available... " - HP LaserJet 2500 L with iMAC 11.1 running Mac OS X Version 10.6.5. since the "HP Printer Software Update 2.5.2".
This also helped for me:
1) delete all of the items whose name starts with "hp_" in System/Library/Extensions
2) Disconnect the printer and turn off the printer
3) delete the printer if it's still there
4) reset the printing system
5) restart the Mac
6) empty the trash
7) turn on the printer and reconnect the printer to the MAC
8) reinstall the printer
