Can't print HP Color LaserJet 5550dn

I've just upgraded to CS3 form individual CS2 applications and now I can't print to my printer. I go to File>Print and my printer shows up in the printer list. I choose it, hit print and it looks like it's processing for a few seconds, the data light on the printer blinks for a few seconds and then everything just stops. I can print to another postscript printer perfectly fine, and also to the pdf 9 printer. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • Problems with printing( hp Color LaserJet)

    Printer HP Color LaserJet 1500L under Mac OS 10.4.2 Tiger refuses to work normally. It prints 1 or sometimes 2 sheets of paper and then it stops working. All other tasks just move from the active category into completed one without any printing. Printer's indicator starts to wink but then it stops and nothing more happens. The next printing begins only after switching the printer off and on or after restarting operation system. After this it prints 1 or 2 pages and everything begins again. We tryed to use standart drivers which were attached to the printer and the drivers which we downloaded from the HP official site. There is no difference. We tryed to connect the printer to another Macintosh computer under Mas OS X 10.4.2 but the problems didn't disappear. Also we tryed to change USB cable between the printer and the computer. It also didn't matter. Before it the printer worked under Windows XP normally without any problems.

    Same printer, similar problems. I get stopped jobs that refuse to print even after I hit the start printing button. There is a message on this site tackling this issue for an Epson printer. Haven’t tried it out yet myself.

  • Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

    I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
    As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
    I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

  • Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

    I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
    Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

    Hi,
    When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.

  • Can't print in color

    I have an HP Photosmart C4680 and I can't print in color! I haven't used the printer in probably 6 months and I just put in brand new cartridges. I can COPY in color but when I print, it comes out in black and white. I've unchecked "black and white" and "gray scale." I'm using a Mac computer. 
    Please help! Thanks!!

    Hello colorprinter,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Photosmart C4680 will not print in color ink. I will do my best to assist you! What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out: Mac.
    I would recommend printing a Quality Diagnostic Report on your printer to make sure the colors are printing correctly. Please follow this HP document on Troubleshooting Print-Quality Issues. I realize you successfully copied a document in color. If this page comes out perfect, then I would suggest uninstall/reinstall the software. As you stated you did uncheck the black and white/grayscale option.
    Follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. Now, you want to install the full feature software from the HP website here. Choose your correct operating system.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Can't Print in Color to Laserjet 4550?!

    Connecting to an HP Color Laserjet 4500 via AppleTalk, and it defaults to black and white output all the time. If I manually change the colorsync profile sometimes it will print in color, but not always.
    Anyone have this problem and know a fix?

    A bit more info. My wife changed her PC to a 2008 iMac. I have an old [10yrs] HP Color laserjet 4550. We have a hard wired network in the house connected via a Linksys router. My computer is a Dell PC laptop running XP, my son has a desktop PC running XP, my wife has a new iMac [2 mths old] running OS 10xxxxx. We do not have a network printer as the 4550 is not the n version. I want to connect the 4550 to the USB port on my wife's computer. The printer cable used to connect to the 25 pin Parallel port on her old PC. I bought a 25 pin parallel to USB converter, plugged it in to her USB port and nothing. I am an engineer but a Mac is a totally different animal to me. I was bought up with 8088, Pentium bases computers and am I right in thinking Appletalk is now an obsolete product? My wife can connect to the internet and has complete web functionality. The only thing I can't do with the Mac that I could do with the PC is get the printer working. I have downloaded the 4550 driver from the HP web site but I think it is for the new 4550 and not the old one. Am I better off just buying a new color printer and be done with it or is it possible for this old, but in my opinion fantastic, printer to be connected in the way I am proposing? All help appreciated

  • Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
    All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
    On the other computers....
    The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
    This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
    Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
    These computers are all running 10.6.
    I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Josh,
    First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
    So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
    Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
    If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
    Just trying to help.

  • Fresh install of 10.6.2 can't add HP Color LaserJet 2600n to printers.

    From the start:
    Just got my laptop back from Apple (replaced mainboard) and decided to start over so I upgraded the HD to a 500 GB and reinstalled the System fresh. No personal files added yet. I also ran all of the Software Updates as normal and here it sites now with this problem when I went to add my printer:
    The HP Color LaserJet 2600n is connected to the Airport wireless network by direct Ethernet cable to the router. The MacBook is connected via Wi-Fi.
    Add Printer sees the HP printer via Default/Bonjour. Click it, name it, it already chose "HP Color LaserJet 2600n" for Print Using: (driver). At the very bottom it says in small print "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer." I click add and immediately a pop up says "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. The selected printer software is available from Apple, but you are not connected to the Internet."
    So I can't add the printer although I can see it! This is bogus. It worked before. And how could it "know" Apple has the driver if the Internet connection wasn't working? Well, the Internet connection IS working. That is the other part of this that makes no sense. It works fine. I'm on the very same connection right now typing this. Software Update gave me no issues using it going through Software Update and not the printer driver update part..
    What gives?

    Can't help with the wireless muckup since I don't that. Two options. One, hook up directly, bypassing the wifi stuff, and try adding it. Or, two, download the update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  • Cannot print to Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

    I have a HP Color Laserjet MFP M177fw hard wired to my router. I can print from internet explorer, chrome and other applications such as Office and Notepad, etc. I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I can get to the print dialogue page and hit print but nothing comes out and I can't see any jobs stuck in the print queue. 
    I am using an HPtouch computer with Windows 8.1

    I have the same problem for my 177fw. It does connect to my desktop via wireless connection when I check the control panel, yet no printing job could be done and they just disappear in the queue list. Sorry to say that, Ms. Helen-Hua, but I don't think "trying to print as image" can help to solve the problem no matter what result it is. For most people I don't think they would accept a printer that cannot print a simple text document.
    Look forward to receiving working solution.
    PS. The wireless connection has absolutely no problem for my win 7 laptop and my desktop which is formerly win 7. The problem only happen when the computer is upgraded to win 8.1 and another brand-new win 8 desktop.

  • Can't print to HP Laserjet 8100

    I can't print a PDF file using Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 to an HP Laserjet 8100. The printer dialog shows the job and lights blink on the printer, but nothing is printed. I can print the same PDF file on the HP 8100 using Apple Preview. I can print the same file using Acrobat 8.1.2 on the HP Color Laserjet 5550 sitting next to the HP 8100. I just can't print to the HP Laserjet 8100 using Acrobat 8.1.2. I can also print to the HP 8100 using Acrobat 8.1.2 if I check the box "Print as image", but it is very slow in that mode. Does anyone know the answer to this one?
    I have re-installed the HP printer drivers from HP. I have deleted and reinstalled the printers. All Apple and Adobe updates are current. I am using a Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.5.4.

    I ran into the same issue today, the resolution was to change the TrueType Font Download Option to "Native TrueType" (it was set to automatic by default). This resolved the issue for me (using an HP Universal Print Driver v4.7).
    Printing Preferences -> Advanced Settings -> PostScript Options -> TrueType Font Download Option -> Native TrueType

  • Wireless Printing for Color Laserjet 2505dn

    I keep getting emails from HP regarding wireless printing.  So, I'm trying to find out if mine is compatible to do it. I have a Color Laserjet 2505dn printer.  I think it is too old and is not compatible but I was hoping someone can tell me for sure if there is possibly a way to do it.  I have a wireless router to my computer but can it reach my printer?
    Thanks

  • Trying to print to Color Laserjet CP2025n from OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro over the network...

    Basically, the configuration and drive status all seem OK. But when I try to print something from Adobe Reader, nothing happens after I click print other than the dialog dissappearing. There are no indications of error either. And when I bring up the printer queue, it is completely empty, as if the document was not even sent to it.
    I am seeing HP Color Laserjet CP2025n (F4F285) in the Printer selection, as well as in the System Preferences. And from System Preferences,  it shows up as "Idle, last used" with a green dot. I have attached full System Diagnostics, Bluetooth Diagnostics (although, I believe this is network'd over the LAN), and the System Report of my Mac Pro. You can see these @

    The other week it printed fine, but it I think I recall seeing two options in the Printer selection box. Now it only shows one, but again, the drivers indicate that everything is alright. I can even view the amount of ink remaining?

    Hi @jahburnit 
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer 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.
    You may find the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
    Best of luck.
