Business Inkjet 1200 Series

My aunt's printer only prints in black. There is no checkmark making this happen where it states print in gray scale. All the other cartridges are brand new, cyan, magenta and yellow. She has the latest drivers on a new Dell Inspiron 580 and the diagnostic test I ran showed everything working properly. How can I solve this issue?

Have install software on hand software from HP ‘ bi1200en.exe’
Open control panel
Select add remove Programs
Click on HP Business Inkjet 1200, click Change/Remove
After software is removed make sure printer is powered on and connected to PC
If new hardware wizard appears cancel it
Install software ‘bi1200en.exe’
Printer should be installed to PC and work

HP ePrint Home & Biz failing to find Business Inkjet 1200 on wireless network

I am trying to set up printing from my phone over my local network to an HP printer.
I have downloaded the HP ePrint Home & Biz app onto a Samsung SII runningAndroid v4.0.4 the app cannot find the HP Business Inkjet 1200 (C8156A) on the wireless network.
1) The printer is functional and other devices can print to it
2) The phone is able to conect wirelessly to the printer via a browser connection
3) The printer is on a fixed IP number
4) The BI 1200 is listed on the supported models page for ePrint Home & Biz app
5) I have registered the app with ePrint but should be able to connect via the local wireless network
I tried to use the Connect Manually option but it is tring to get me to supply an ePrint e-mail address. Do I really have to register the printer on ePrint to get this app to work?
As someone else said why not have an app that just formats the print job and sends it to the local printer?

The app can actually do what you want and print over the local network.
It sounds like what you are doing is going to settings, and then manage eprinters, and trying to add the device there. This section is only for eprint capable devices, and allows you to print to them even when you are not at the same location.
Go back to the home screen of the app.
Select a photo or document from within the app.
Simply push on the area near the bottom of the screen that may show a printer, or if its never printed it may just have a down arrow.
From here you should be able to click on printer and choose your printer.
The above method will simply search the local network for supported devices, and does not require any registration of the app.

How to print to networked HP Business Inkjet 1200?

Hi, I've just gotten a (second-hand, so older) laptop that is now running 10.5.5. I can't figure out how to connect it to the networked HP Business Inkjet 1200 that we've got in the office.
According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1893
The driver for the printer should be included in the system I have. However, in the list it is not checked as a "modern driver" which the article says means it "cannot be selected when adding an IP printer". I've always connected to this machine using IP printing from my 10.4 machines... If I just leave it in the "default" mode, the printer does not appear. The only other way I know how to select it is IP printing (it then correctly identifies it, but as promised, the driver does not appear in the list).
Any suggestions?

HP non-postscript printers with drivers capable of network printing are selected by clicking More Printers and then "HP IP." If you find that that doesn't work, then the driver isn't capable of network printing.
There is an open source driver available, hpijs:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
It can be used for all the network protocols the printer supports (for most HPs, the preferred is HP Jetdirect protocol.)

HP Business Inkjet 1000/1200 networked and Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help, I'm having an absolute nightmare getting our HP Business Inkjet 1000/1200 printers working on our laptops which have Windows 7 64-bit installed. There is no Windows 7 driver to download for this printer, I'm using the pre-installed one in Windows 7, I can get this to work perfectly with Windows 7 32-bit in our VMWare enviroment but on the laptops it just freezes programs when you go to print (mainly Office 2010). I have networked the printers on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-bit print server. I have added the print drivers to the server through print management console, from Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. I can use the same print driver locally to the laptops and add the TCP/IP ports from there and it works perfectly but I really do not want to be manually adding the printers locally, I want users to be able to add from the print server directory.
Shot in the dark but has anyone else had a similar experience?
Regards,
Ross

HP LaserJet 1200 Series- Spaces appearing in words of printed document

I have an HP LaserJet 1200 series printer. All of a sudden blank spaces began appearing in the footnotes of a document. For example, "supra" printed as "s upra" numerous times in a row, "in" printed as "i n", and "whether" printed as "whether r". The spaces do not appear on the computer screen. I just attached another printer and the spaces disappeared. Is there a way to fix my HP LaserJet 1200 series printer? Thanks for any help!

Hello eaw,
The HP LaserJet 1200 is a commercial printer. For a better chance at finding a solution, I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support.

Automatic full duplex not working on Inkjet 1200 with W7

I am using a Business Inkjet 1200dtwn with a clean install upgrade from XP2 to Windows 7 Premium. Automatic Full Duplex worked fine with XP and HP’s driver; but Full Duplex will not work with the Microsoft driver that installed after the upgrade to W7.
Does HP have a driver for my combination? If not, what do you suggest?
Printer was purchased through the HP Store on 11/8/04.
Product model number: C8156A
Product serial number: TH47N11022
Windows upgrade from XP to W7 Premium was purchased through the Microsoft Store earlier this year and is up to date via Microsoft’s automatic upgrade notification.
I bought the HP Pavilion dv9000t Notebook through the HP Store on 12/31/06.
Pavilion dv9000t, p/n: EZ379AV, s/n: CNF7012K4X. aka: HP Pavilion dv9000t CTO Notebook PC.

Congratulations on your Post! As a Student you earned an A+
Some time ago I got auto duplex to work by deleting the 1200 in Devices and Printers, Restarting just to be safe, then letting Plug-N-Play install the driver by enabling install to search my computer and the web to find the latest driver. The new driver properties had the option to install 2 sided printing. I clicked on the option and tne printer worked (just as you said).
Then I failed to post my solution. My bad

Using CLI to enter Mac local list on 1200 Series

I have a number of 1200 series Ap's that are set up for MAC Authentication based on a local list only. From the GUI these addresses are entered from the Advanced Security Screen.
I wnt to find a method for entering them from the CLI but am running into a problem with the level 7 passwords that seem to be automaticly applied when the MAC addresses are added from the GUI.
If I enter MAC 0011.22aa.33ff from the GUI and then look at the config from the CLI it looks like this:
username xxx password xxxx
username xxxx autocommand exit
how do I do this from the CLI?

Hi,
I think if you need to enter lots of MAC Addresses into AP, the fastest way is to use CLI.
Refer to the following doc on how to configure MAC from CLI. Look under "Local Authenticator Access Point - Step 11"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080341e72.html#wp1039558
If authentication is purely done via MAC, then you can do like the following example:
AP#config t
AP(config-radsrv)# user xxx password xxx group clerks mac-auth-only
Probably you need to use notepad to list all MAC (as username & password), then copy &paste to your AP's CLI.
Hope this helps.

HP laserjet 1200 series not responding

I just got an hp laserjet 1200 series printer from a friend that used it on his pc. I can't seem to get my computer to recognize it. I have tried going to the hp page and downloading the driver and the software, which I thought I did, but when I open printer setup utility and look for new drivers, nothing appears. Any ideas?

Is your printer connected through a hub or directly to the computer?

Install Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in new Laptop with Windows 8, 64 Bit

Product Name - HP Laserjet 1200 Series, PCL 6 Driver
Operating System: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64 bit
Error Message : Can't find the 1200 Series on the Network. To locate manually click ok ....
Changes Made - This is an installation on new laptop, running Windows 8, 64 bit
Description:
1. Installing to an existing network, that consistedof a desktop and two wireless laptops.
2. Both Laptops have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above named printer is successfully accessed from the laptops.
3. Am replacing one of the laptops with the Windows 8 64 bit.
4. The Series 1200 path is: Wireless Printer to Router, Router to Desktop via ethernet, Desktop to Printer via cable.
5. The wireless printer configuration is
        Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
        Port: \\Central\HPLaserj
       Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
      Driver: HPMCPM25.GPD   5.8.2008
Problem
Unable to recreate this path with the Windows 8, 64 bit configuration.
a. When I attempt to download a current driver always wind up with a file entitled UPD-pcl6-x64-5.6.0.14430
     This appears to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, Can successfully unzip the file and create a folder
b. During installation I can see the the desktop printer ICON (name:\\central\HPLaserj); so far, so good
c. Process fails to locate a driver and instructs to manually locate.
d. Browsing to the HP Universal Driver Folders fails because a driver cannot be found .
e. Attempting to manuall enter fails because you cannot input the above address (\\central\HPlaserj). Can only enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.
f. When the installation did show a list of drivers, the only one I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought I was trying to download originally.
This set up worked successfully with the Windows 7 64 bit. It appears I need help from a lot more expertise than I have to walk me through this set up.

HP LaserJet 1200 series BW USB problem

I am unable to re install my HP BW LaserJet 1200 series printer. My system is WIN XP PRO, SP3.
The printer was working fine, then something happened and the printer is not listed in Device manager. The printer self check works OK,, but when I plug in the USB cable, there is no screen respons that a new USB device has been found.
Note , I have 2 flash drives attached to the USB ports that work OK.
I tried to re install the 1200 series driver, but the printer is not listed in Device manager.
Any suggestions troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I've often had this problem when I start a print but the 1200 is not connected, or for other reasons. I either:
1. Turn the HP 1200 off then on; or
2. Go to Print centre and delete the job.
One of these always fixes the problem.

HP 2800DTN Business InkJet Printer Error msg

When printing to a networked HP Business Inkjet 2800 printer, using paper from the bottom paper try, we receive a "Carriage jam" msg on the printer's display.
If we print using paper from the top tray, we have no problems, and the prints are fine.
I don't have any other 2800's at this site, so I can't experiement with paper trays. Any ideas on what to look at?
Thank you in advance.

Slow printing from Mac to HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn

Hi,
We have an iMac running
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Indesign 5.0 CS4
Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
HP Business Inkjet 2800 driver PS v3010.107, with 76Mb Memory
It's taking forever to print documents that are a few Mb in size.
The documents are created with Indesign.
I've tried outputting to pdf and it's still no better.
One pdf is 3.5Mb and just gets stuck at 5%. The printer shows "processing job" until it fails after 30 mins.
I've tried printing the pdf from a Windows XP pc using the HP postscript driver and it's the same. The spool file shows as being 18Mb on the PC.
Printing using Windows PCL driver, the speed is OK but the quality is poor. The only way to get these to print is by using the Windows to print to PS with the print to Image option selected.
I've looked at the Mac spool folder and it looks like 6Mb when it goes to print.
It prints OK to an A4 HP CP3505N colour laser.
I've got a call out with HP but they seem stumped at the moment.
Any advice would be great.
Many thanks

Hi,
if you will follow my correction, that not the printing itself is slow but the time for transferring the data to the printer, so I can serve with a solution.
Look attached file or to the following (english) thread. There is a new modified driver for the 2800, supporting 2 tray, duplex and sizes to A3.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/119579-g5-very-slow-printing-h p-2800-a.html#post923300.
The german readme is included in the ZIP. The file should work on german and english systems.
