Can I fix the alignment problems my Color LaserJet CP1518ni is having? The red does not line up.

Can I fix the alignment problems my Color LaserJet CP1518ni is having?  The red does not line up.  I have installed the latest updates, etc.  Calibrating does not help.  The printer is only a few years old.  What gives?

I have a similar issue with a Laserjet cp1525nw, it was mostly corrected by removing and reseating the toner cartridges.

  • Color LaserJet CP1518ni blue print with red shadows, help !

    Blue text prints with a red shadow on the right side of the page only.  There is no magenta in the blue.  All other colors print fine.  I have tried a new magenta cartridge and it was the same.  All cartridges are OEM.  I updated the firmware and it did not help.  Calibrted and cleaned many times.  Any ideas?

  • Hp color laserjet cp1518ni color does not align???

    I recently posted at the beginning of the month saying I was having problems with my hp color laserjet cp1518ni and the whole left side printing blurry.  After cleaning the rollers, running it through the cleaning mode, restoring the defaults and calibrating the colors, it miraculously worked.   
    But less than a month into the fix and I am once again having problems.  I have done all of the following (I have windows vista 64bit):
    *updated firmware and confirmed that it is updated to most current version 20120110
    *restarted computer
    *turned off printer - more than once
    *disconnected printer - more than once
    *restored defaults - more than once
    *calibrated color - more than once
    *run it through the cleaning mode - more than once
    I have taken each toner cartridge out and carefully placed them back in again making sure they were firmly in place.
    My husband has tried connecting it to his computer and printing it, but has gotten the same results. 
    I was trying to print out a job when I noticed that the color was horribly off from what was on my computer screen.  Since I was 5 prints away from needing to change the cyan cartridge, I changed it, thinking this would fix the color.  Not only did it not fix the color, but that's when the alignment problems started happening.  I am so completely frustrated.  It is ridiculous to have this kind of problems with a printer every time you try to print and I've spent the last 3 hours fighting with it.
    I am absolutely, without a doubt, certain it is the printer.  I don't know what it is, with the printer, so if anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.  I just opened a 3 pack of toner (to put the cyan in) so now not only can I not use the printer, but I am out money for the other 2 toners.
    The reason I know it is the printer, is because I finally I printed the same exact piece I had been printing on the hp color laserjet cp1518ni that looked horrible in both color and color alignment, onto a Canon MG6120 inkjet.  The color was exactly as it appeared on my computer screen and there were no problems with misalignment.  I just prefer to do my jobs on laserjet printing, so this is frustrating to have a large, expensive doorstop in my computer room.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I wanted to add one more thing, as I was looking through the Resolving Print Quality Issues page
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01691481&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc​...
    I have printed out a Diagnostics Report and it's obvious that there is a problem. Under Solution #11, it tells you how to
    Identify and replace the problem print cartridge
    Because it allows you to print and see:
    The page prints five bands of color, which are divided into four overlapping sections. By examining each section, you can isolate the problem to a particular print cartridge.
    I have done a search on my computer for:
    HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series ToolboxFX and it does not come up. I am able to do everything through the printer itself (run the cleaning mode, etc), but as far as finding anything on my computer under a folder, there doesn't appear to be anything.
    I'd like to be able to print out these pages so that I can see which colors are giving me problems. Is there a way to do that from the printer?
    Thank you!

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni & Windows 7 via network

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni connected to the network, not via a USB cable. How to I setup this printer so I can print to it from my WIndows 7 machine? Will HP be coming out with anything other than the Universal Print Drivers for this printer? If so, when?

    The full feature download for your printer supporting windows 7 will be available for your product in late January 2010.

    Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name  with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder before installing the new copy?  If not then do so and delete the new application also.

    Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working.  In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

    If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni color alignment problem

    Hi,  We bought an Hp Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer about 6 months ago,  It worked fine until recently, when the colors started printing out of alignment.  We tried calibrating and we updated the firmware to the latest one available on HP's website.  This did not help.  We contacted the supplier we bought it from, since it is still under warranty, but they told us to contact HP directly.
    What should we do now?

    I have the same problem.  Very disappointed in HP

  • Music on iPhone4 4 automatically shuffles music and shuffle is not turned on in anyway. Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update a month ago!!

    Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update (5.0) a month ago!!
    When playing music there is no shuffle button like there was before... On the playlist there is a shuffle bar but this does nothing when I touch it. It's either stuck on my music is messed up.
    Any ideas??

    Start playing a song.
    Select the album artwork area for the song playing to reveal the scrubber for the song.
    Is the color of the icon located at the right of the scrubber blue?
    If so, that is the shuffle icon and blue means shuffle is on. Select the icon to turn shuffle off. White means off.

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
    Thanks

    InventoryLady,
    Yes that is what I did.  I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
    Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
    If you have any more questions, please let me know.
    Thanks,
