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.

  • Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

    Hey Guys,
    I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
    remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
    terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
    Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
    to connect to
    So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please follow the below steps and verify result.
    LAN manager authentication level settings (Local security policy->Local Policies->Security Options->Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level).

  • Interesting problem with RAID, Windows 2008 server, and Ubuntu

    sooooo, i got the system working and linux loved it.  just adored it.
    however, Windows did not.  Windwos 2008 server hard locks from time to time.  i fianlly figured out that it had to do with the RAID 0 i was running, that didn't really succeed.
    However, when i rebuilt the RAID and everything on it, it refuses to recognize the disk, sayign that windwos cannot determine if this drive has a valid system volume on it.
    Ubuntu 9.04 server, however, just took it and made it work great.
    I enabled the PCI Bus SATA to be Master in the BIOS, and then Windows Server 2008 said that it could not determine if the drive was bootable.  Then i went back and redid the raid, and it did the original error.
    I inserted a windows xp disk, destroyed the RAID, and then installed the software on a NEW disk.   While it installed fine, it gave me an IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal error.  It boots in safe mode, but no where else.  I tried installing the NVRAID and MCP55 drivers in safemode and what not, but still, it refused to cooperate.  I went back to ubuntu, this time the desktop/workstation versions, and i am doing an alternate install with RAID...much to my disappointment becuase now i will have to use VirtualBox to isntall windows...and if that fails, i'll be really pissed.
    My settings are as follows:
    SATA Controller 0-5 enabled
    NVRAID- enabled
    PCI BUS SATA- Option ROM Enabled, Master Enabled, and 0040h latency
    MAC LAN- same as above
    MAC LAN1- has master disabled, but the other stuff is the same
    Serial port A is on AUTO, B is disabled, and floppy is disabled.
    Option Rom is PFA relocation.
    Also, my AEC A6880 is giving me a ROM expansion error, even though, in both OSes it can be seen....usualy.  I just want to fix it
    lastly, my LSI PCI-E scsi adapter is not being seen at ALL. 
    thanks guys.

  • Microsoft Windows 2008 Server and RDC

    hi:)
    We have a fairly serious problem. Many of our customers have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running our ASP web solution on that machine. In this web solution we use RDC (crystal) to show reports on the net, which works perfectly. But now a couple of our new customers have installed Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit version. But when we are showing these reports on a Windows Server 2008, the result is not correct. It show a completely wrong result in the reports. This meaning showing 4 timers the records it should do.
    Do u support Windows Server 2008 32 bit and 64 bit with RDC (crystal) ?
    Have anyone experienced the same problem?
    Sincerly Jan Tovgaard, Egdatainform, DK

    Hi Jan
    CR XI, CR XIR2 and CR 2008 have not been tested with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and MS Windows Server 2008 would be added to the supported platforms Guide when it is done.
    Please refer to the Supported Platforms Guide for CR XI, CR XIR 2, CR 2008 for more information.

  • Color Laserjet 2605dn power cycles when receiving a print job

    Very recently my Laserjet 2605dn color printer has been power cycling when it receives a print job.    At first it was when it received large pdf files.   But now it does it more often.   I download and reinstalled the HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.15.4) and the printer now resets everytime I try to do a network discovery for the device.
    Does anyone have any thoughts as to what board might be at fault ?   Has anyone hear do fthis issue ?
    Thanks

    There are a couple of reasons that could be happening. It could have something to do with the connection, or perhaps the program you're printing from. Try to go to the link I'm including below and follow the steps there, and hopefully this will help you resolve your issue.

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

  • Laserjet m1217 will not print through easyprint on windows 2008 server 64Bit

    We have a client that has the LaserJet M1217 that is connecting to our Window 2008 Server SP2 64Bit via Remote Desktop.  Easyprint recognizes the printer, but will not even print a test page.  We get a FAIL message.  We either need to know how to print through easyprint, or if there is a driver that can be installed remotely.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I would contact Microsoft about this. Since Easy Print is one of their features, they should know what is causing the error in the first place. Let me know what they say.

  • I am having a problem installing the x86 drivers on a Windows 2008 server for a hp 4000n.

    I am having a problem installing the x86 drivers on a Windows 2008 server for a hp laserjet 4000n.

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn reboots when attempting any report from LCD. Says Printing, then resets.

    HP Color LaserJet 2605dn reboots itself when attempting any report from LCD.  Says Printing, then resets with the green and amber light lit and the LCD screen says Hewlett-Packard.  If I try to send a print job to it from a computer, it says printing, and resets just the same. I've upgraded the firmware to 20071108.  I've rebooted the printer holding down the green and red buttons that didn't help.  I also held down the two gray buttons and powered on which didn't help, it just cleared all my printing stats and cleared my configuration.  I've attempted print jobs via USB, and network with same results.  Admin webpage comes up.  Thanks.

    Hi Pahu,
    Thanks for you reply. Here's some additional information because I'm not quite sure how to resolve the network addressing as you described. The router is set up as a DHCP server, using the standard 192.168.1.1 IP address, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The starting IP address is 192.168.1.100, and I have it set to allow up to 50 connections. (No particular reason, I think that may have been the default.) The printer is set up to check a variety of connection protocols, starting with DHCP. If that fails, it moves to BOOTP, etc. When I print the network configuraton page from the printer, it tells me the IP address is 169.254.18.32, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, default gateway 169.254.18.32, and the IP is configured by AUTOIP.
    In the past, when it has been working properly, the printer shows an IP address of 192.168.1.10X, usually .100 or .101, but it depends on which device I've powered up first. This is what I would expect, given that the printer should be communicating with the router and be assigned an IP address by DHCP. What I can't figure out is why the printer reverts to its internal default IP address 169.254.18.32, and why this is inaccessible even if I try to designate the printer as an IP printer and type in the printer's IP address.
    Do I need to set the printer to refresh its DHCP lease more often to ensure it doesn't get cut off by the router? How do I make sure the printer stays on the same subnet as the computers if they're all on the same router? Should I assign the printer a static IP address like 192.168.1.100, then set the DHCP range to start at 192.168.1.101? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm not a network expert and I didn't think this printer would be such a pain to configure.
    Cheers,
    R

  • Windows 2008 Server License Key not working on VirtualBox

    I have a validated licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server and I need to load it on a Virtual machine (I am running Oracle VirtualBox). When I had the server running on a hardware based server it worked fine. The license key activated and it worked. Now when
    I load it onto the VirtualBox solution it fails. It will take it when I run the manual command but will not show my server as activated. This is for my private use only (internal home LAN) but I would prefer to have the activation be correct since I use this
    setup to help keep fresh on Windows 2008 servers while being on a Linux OS with a VM software loaded.  What can I do to have this server activate correctly under the VirtualBox?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Base on my experience, after we convert a physical computer system to virtualize environment we need to reactive it, with MAK active method we need keep this vm to connect to
    internet and with KMS method please confirm this vm can communicate with your KMS server.

  • Will Windows 8.1 uninstall Windows 2008 server

    I have a test box with windows 2008 server install.  I now want to UNINSTALL windows 2008 server and INSTALL windows 8.1. Do Need to uninstall windows 2008 server first or will Windows 8.1 uninstall it for me?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If Windows Server 2008 is considered no more useful, we may take a clean install of Windows 8.1 and choose to format the whole drive. And it is recommended to take a Windows Server 2008 backup first, just in case.

  • Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
    The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
    Then I follow this steps.
    1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
    2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
    3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
    4.- Choose network printer
    5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
    6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13)  I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
    7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
     So, in select device type, I select  "Standard" and "Generic Network Card"  and click on Next
    8.- Install printer driver  -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
    9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
    10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
    11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
    Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that  "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
    I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
    I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
    Many Thanks
    Robert

    Hi lespaul80,
     1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
    and check under network setup  if subnet mask and  def. gateway setup
    also if you have DNS setup check it too
    check if you have SNMP options - desable it
    on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
    Hope it help you

  • Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

    Hi everyone,  I'm hoping someone can help.  I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7.  When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas.  So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
    I am ready to throw this out the window.  I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha.  Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically.  I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
    Thanks in advance.

    Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.
