Color Laser Jet 5500dn Leaves Line on Every Print

1. Product Name and Number - HP Color Laser Jet 5500dn
 2. Operating System installed - NA, But Mac OSX Lion
 3. Error message (if any) - NA
 4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred - None   
Hi Everyone,
Every time we print from the printer we get a faint line across the headed of the page about one inch from the top.  The line appears even when we "print" a blank page.  The line appease on both sides of the page when printing single or double sided.  It seems to fade when we print a lot of pages.  We have changed the toner and cleaned the Fuser Input.
Any help would be great!
Thanks so much,
The Timestar Team

Hi TimestarTechLLC,

  • Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

    Good Afternoon,
    I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue.  I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches.  On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.  
    I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

    We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

  • HP 4600n Color Laser Jet

    When powering up the HP 4600n color laser jet printer, it stops at 64mb************* What does this mean

    It sounds like it may be an issue with the memory module, have you tried doing a hard reset on the printer ?
    Thanks!

  • I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it.  The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Clark
    There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
    Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
    If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
    Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up. 
    From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

  • Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

    Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print!  I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12.  I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version.  It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened."  I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck.   Any other ideas? 

    I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

  • Mac Lion OS print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & business inkjet 2200

    I just brought a Macbook Air (13in) with the new OS Lion.  I however have a HP Color Laserjet 1600 and Business Inkjet 2200 that I love, but can't find a printer driver for either.  So, my questions are, does anyone know if:
    1)  there is going to be a mac lion os print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & Business Inkjet 2200; or
    2)  is there another way to print to them (i.e., the 2200 uses HPA instead of PS and the 1600 uses PCL)?

    Any suggestions re correct driver for windows 7 and HP 4600dn?

  • My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

    I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

    Hi,
    If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.

  • New Color Laser Jet CP2025 Running EXTREMELY slow on network

    We just purchased a Color Laser Jet CP2025 Running EXTREMELY slow on our network!!

    You can see if it is a network problem by seeing how resoponsive the EWS is- type the IP address of the printer into a web browser and see if the screen refreshes quickly as is should.
    Then see if it is a file problem- try printing a simple text file from notepad.
    Not sure which driver you are using, but I have the bes tluck with PCL- download the latest from the web. If you are already using PCL, you could try the postscript driver.

  • When printing from my Mac all of a sudden when printing from IPhoto the picture is really dark.  The test page off my HP color laser jet is just fine.  It is not the printer although older.  All of sudden it does not want to print correctly.

    All of a sudden when printing from my desktop Mac in IPhoto the printout comes out black.  My colors are fine on my HP color laser printer.  I have printed many times and now all of a sudden it is not printing.  A test copy from my printer comes out fine.  I really think for some reason something has changed just in the last few days.  Just communication with IPhoto and the computer.

    As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

  • My color laser jet cm1015 has error message 51.23

    Printing was misaligned so I followed instructions on a you-tube video to clean the laser box. Now, that I completed that, I get an error 51.23. It does not help to turn off and on again.  Is there a diagram that illustrates the cable that I need to reset that will correct this problem? or is there a board or cable that I can replace? I would need a part number for those.

    Hi phthora
    The following  HP troubleshooting documents may be of help.  I believe 51.23 is a yellow scanner error.  The Re-connect ribbon cables to DC Controller PCB Forum thread includes an image that might be helpful.

  • HP2550n Color Laser Jet won't print colors correctly in Win 7

    This printer is an oldie but a goodie, and I don't want to buy a new one, just because I upgraded to Windows7 Pro 64 bit.
    I tried the Unviersal Driver, then the Post Script version, which is better than PCL6, but still not perfect like it was with XP Pro.   Still have pronblems printing colors from Acrobat XI documents - color pictures just print all in soid red.  MS office docs print fine.  
    Is there not a driver that will make this printer work right in Win 7 Pro ???

  • Color Laser Jet CP2025 prints slowly from Photoshop

    I have an HP Color LaserJet CP2025. From time to time, it prints from my Mac very slowly--usually from a Photoshop file. I understand that those are big files, but, it's taken 30 minutes for files smaller than 35M.  Seems a bit unreasonable.  Please help!
    Thanks,
    KristifromMN

    Hello KristifromMN
    I understand you are experiencing slow printing from your Laserjet CP2025. Could you verify what type of Mac you have? Click here to find out: Finding your OS.
    How is this printer connected? Wireless, USB or Ethernet.
    Just to verify, are you only experiencing "slow printing" from just Photoshop File or other Files?
    Usually, if this is only happening in one program, especially since this is a "Adobe based program", based on my experience in this field, Adobe usually takes a longer time to print. You are also printing big files.
    However, I am going to recommend an HP document on Slow Printing Using a Mac. Make sure you have performed all the Apple updates on your computer.
    You can try to uninstall/reinstall your software to see if this makes a difference.
    If you have any further questions please let me know.
