Color LaserJet 2600n and manual duplex option

good morning,
i have a Color LaserJet 2600n and i have a manual duplex problems
i have upgraded my OS from WinXP and the manual duplex function does not work anymore (system with OS Win7 x64 and system with win8.1 x64)
in win XP I selected the manual duplex function. the system made it appear the dialog box with the instructions to do (for example: press "V" button on the print panel when ready)
WinXP worked perfectly
win7 x64 printing all the pages one after the other (the system made it appear the dialog box with the instructions to do but don't work)
win8.1 x64 does not allow me to choose the manual duplex function and i need print the odd pages before of the even pages.
can i resolve this problem?
can i printing with the manual duplex dialog box and how can i enable this function?
maybe this is a stupid question for Hp but it is so important for my job and my research
thank's for all.
regards
Sicardus

HP Color LaserJet 2600n and HP IP Printing

I was having trouble configuring my HP Color LaserJet 2600n for HP IP Printing. The following steps resovled the problem. Perhaps others may find this useful.
I just purchased an HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer at CompUSA. I was able to successfully connect it to my network and print using Bonjour Printing (from all of my various iMac, iBook, PowerBook and MacBook computers), but was not able to configure it for TCP/IP printing. To solve the problem,
1. I visited the HP website and downloaded new firmware for the printer:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=446154&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=446153&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219
There are 3 files there, I downloaded and installed all of them in the following order:
2. HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer Firmware Update Utility - for some reason, the firmware on my new printer was from 2005 even though HP had posted new firmware as late as Dec 2006.
3. HP color LaserJet 2600n DC controller firmware update utility - a firmware update that addresses a ghost-image issue.
4. HP Color LaserJet 2600n OS X Universal Binary Full Software Solution - an updated set of drivers.
After all firmware and software was successfully updated....
5. I opened /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app and click the "Default Browser" button at the top of the page.
6. Clicked the "More Printers..." button at the bottom of the page.
7. Set the popup at the top of the configuation pane to "HP IP Printing" and clicked the "Manual" button immediately below it.
8. Entered the local network address for my printer (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and clicked the "Connect" button. The rest of the information in the panel was automatically filled in for me.
9. Clicked the "Add" button. The printer was added to the list of available printers in the Printer List, although the name of the printer is set to the ID that is configured in the printer firmware.
10. Select the new printer (NPIA0853X in my case) and click the "Show Info" button in the Printer List toolbar. Move the popup on the dialog to "Name and Location" and enter an new name (e.g., "HP Color LaserJet 2600n").

Download and run this on the XP machine. I suspect a security system update or change, but let's let the utility tell us.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n and Airport Express Issues

To me it seems like more of an issue with the Airport Express and Snow Leopard. Am I totally off base on this. I tried the work around post in another thread on here and it just fails to connect to the printer properly. Either way, I wonder how long it will take to get this fixed.

Network HP Color LaserJet 2600n is killing us!

We have a network printer, HP Color LaserJet 2600n and we cannot install it. We deploy Windows 2008 R2 (Virtual Server) printer server over IPP. Users we connect to http://servername/printserver and it will list all network printers. All other HP and Xerox printers working fine, except this 2600n printer won't work. I tried both 2600n driver and HP Universal Driver. Printer drivers installed on the server will have 'package false' for 2600n driver, and it seems installing good for the Universal driver.
However, as soon as users map to the printer, the print spool service will be killed. I did a test page directly on the server and it said test page sent successfully, but guess what, nothing coming out! I verified printer IPs, gateway, name all correct, I also update the firmware but no help. This printer was working fine in Novell environment, we just migrated our printers to MS platform.
Anyone experiences this and has a solution? Thanks.
PS. We have Intel CPUs, not ADM, so no compatible issues here.

I realize this is an old post, but hopefully it will help someone else. Also had this issue. The problem is that the 2600n wont work on 2008R2. I've tried every driver I can think of. The one driver that is causing your problem is the device specific 2600n driver. You need to remove that driver entirely from the server and the client and try something else. Good luck getting this printer to work. Looks like we are going to end up replacing them.

Adding a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600N

Hi All;
I have an HP Color Laserjet 2600N that is connected to my home network. I assigned the printer a static IP, subnet, and GW address. I can ping the printer from both macs (New Macbool pro and an older G5 system), as well as my windows PC. The printer is connected to both the PC via USB as well as cat5 to the HP jetdirect card. I can even HTTP to the management portion of the printer from both macs. When I try adding the printer as an IP printer, the status view on the mac shows up as printer ready, but I cannot print a test page or anything. I even tried setting up to print to the PC as a print server and the mac sees it but doesnt print. I have tried the generic drivers, HP drivers, etc...An I missing something?

Hi inglewood,
Can I suggest re-configuring the ToolBox.
Opening the HP Color LaserJet 2600nToolboxStart the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox using either of the following methods:
Click Start , Programs or All Programs (Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003), HP , HP Color LaserJet 2600n , and then HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox from the Microsoft Windows desktop.
Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox icon on the Microsoft Windows desktop.
HP Toolbox TabsHP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox contains two independent windows which can be toggled back and forth: HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs and the Device Settings window category tabs.
HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs:
Status tab
Troubleshooting tab
Alerts tab
Documentation tab
From here you should be able to configure the frequency of report printing.
Thanks.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n - now have to download and install drivers

With Leopard, my printer HP Color Laserjet 2600n was automatically identified and installed - no problem, just perfect
Now I had to download and install the HP drivers, as only HP Color LaserJet 2605 drivers are basically available. And if you use them they don't work. Printer seems to work but never prints.
A pity ... why making things worse?

I haven't used it myself but the following may be what you are looking for: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?mt=8

Why does IE 9 say internal error and cannot print to Color Laserjet 2600n?

IE 9 displays message "Internal error, cannot print page" when I try to print to a networked Color Laserjet 2600n. Printing works well on my other networked HP printer.

The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

HP Color LaserJet 2600N Windows7

Hi
I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600N in my LAN.
Currently I am installing my new PC with Windows7 but I can't install my printer.
What is the best way to solve this problem?
Thanks for help and hints.
Rainer
This question was solved.
View Solution.

This is what I have from HP Support:
Here are the printer drivers:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL10879/ly-31631-6/hp_CLJ_2600-HB-pnp-win32-en.exe
Use this software for first time USB installations only. Do NOT attach USB cable until prompted by the install program. Once you have successfully installed the driver using the USB cable, you can reconfigure the printer as a network printer using the Add Printer wizard.
For me personally I found that last past to be pretty vague...
i wrote a private message to Rainer who started this thread, but I got no response.
You gotta love people who once their problem is solved leave the rest of us hanging...
Way to go Rainer!!! Instead of Kudos I wish I could drop bombs on you and make your printer stop working buddy...
Anyhoo:
I installed the HP2600n printer locally with the link HP sent me and waited until prompted to connect the usb cable...
Local install works perfect! Was able to print a test page successfully...
I then disconnected the usb cable and rebooted just to be safe...
Now I went into start>devices and printers>add a printer... (Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit)
when i ran the wizard... the 2600n wasn't detected...
I thought I would be slick and I went over to the printer and went into the network settings to find out the address (192.168.1.4)
(press the green button once, right arrow twice, green button again once, right arrow once, green button, right arrow to change to manual... this will tell you the tcp/ip address of your printer.... make sure you hit the "x" button next to cancel and changes... you were just going here to get the address, not I repeat to make any changes)
I then went back to the printer wizard and manually chose to install over tcp/ip and entered the address....
Yay!! I was able to find and connect to the 2600n and print a test page.
I then went back in and removed the local/usb 2600n printer so that I only have one 2600n (Copy 1) choice to print (the other people who use this computer aren't all that smart... wouldn't want to confuse them!! LOL)
Works Perfectly!!

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

HP Color LaserJet 2600n issues

If someone could assist me I would truly appreciate it.
I have an HP Color LaserJet 2600n that has been installed on my network (I inherited it 2 years ago) and has been working without any issues.
We recently moved our print server to a new server and configured the printer on the network, along with 2 other copiers/printers. Everything has been working fine for a few days. Then all of a sudden no one can print, all of the print spoolers on the XP Pro workstations have stopped. A short while later they will restart again (color printer not included). I uninstalled the HP 2600n from the server and everyone can print perfectly fine on the two other printers. No issues.
Here's where it gets frustrating....
I download new drivers from HP website and install on the server (Windows 2003). I do not share it yet, but do several (20 or 30 test prints - from notepad, websites, test page, etc) and there are no issues. I then share the printer and install the printer on a workstation (XP Pro) and test the same - 20 to 30 times. Everything works great. (Keep in mind the workstation I am logged into is mine and I have Administrator rights).
I go to a users workstation (XP Pro) has Power User rights on the machine but not the network they are an average user. I install the printer, not an issue there. I try to print a test page and the print spooler stops. If I look on the server you can see the job sitting there. If I restart the print spooler, the job prints. I tested this on 3 other workstations, logged in as users and the same thing happens. If I log into all of the 4 workstations as Administrator, the job prints without an issue.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to resolve this?
Thank you!

Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Hp color laserjet 2600n, very dim grayish film when printing black only

For some reason, my hp color laserjet 2600n has started printing with a very dim grayish film over each page. I've had this printer for about a year, and it didn't do this at first. Does it no matter what program I print from. I'm sure it's a setting issue, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any ideas?
And, when I select to print in black only, it still prints the color on web pages. Is there a way to print from only the black cartridge? These are the options in the printer dialogue box under color: print in grayscale, black only, 4-color. Under these settings are other options, edge control, half-tone and RGB color. I've tried each setting individually and still the gray film. The only other possibility I can see is under Print Options, it has draft quality or image quality. I've tried both and still the film.
Have any ideas.

1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
2. let it run to initializing.
3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
Cheers

Color troubles printing to HP Color Laserjet 2600n

We are a school with a networked environment that includes about 40 Macbook Pros and 60 iMacs. Included in there are several eMacs and PCs. Over the past several weeks, our HP Color LaserJet 2600n printers have begun to exhibit printing where rather than the normal color printing, there appears to be added black toner on the print jobs. The PCs and eMacs are not exhibiting this problem at all, thus I eliminated the fuser possibility. I looked more at a potential driver issue.
These 2600n printers are shared out to the MBPs and iMacs via Workgroup Manager. They connect to these printers via Bonjour for printing. We do have an 802.11n wifi network with multiple SSIDs but no matter if it is cnonected over SSID or over wired gigabit ethernet, the problem still exists.
I tried printing via IP address, but the computers would not readily recognize the printers during setup, and when I manually selected the driver, the computers could not connect to the printer.
So, I am trying to figure out why all of a sudden these print jobs are exihibing severe color issues.

OK, I think I might have a solution. I have not tested it but I need to do a bit more research. What I have discovered is that it might be a Firmware issue. We found one that is still working fine and it actually has the older firmware numbered 20050610. The ones were are having the issues with are on firmware numbered 20070716.
I am going to see if I can revert the firmware... if I can find the older firmware!

HP Color LaserJet 2600n quit printing on an XP machine

Even though my HP Color LaserJet 2600n shows "ready" on my XP control panel screen for printers, it just quit communicating with my XP system. I have it connected via an Apple Time Machine and found it easy to connect to the printer from any computer in the house (desktops, laptop, netbook, Apple). It worked fine for a long time but now I can't get my XP system to connect to the 2600n. Anyone have a suggestion on what I should do to regain the ability to print to this printer from my XP desktop? Thanks in advance.
PS - Although I know this sounds wrong, I didn't install any new software or make any other changes to my system. It was printing fine yesterday and today - nothing! I've rebooted the PC and the printer. There are no error messages on the printer - it simply says "Ready". What am I missing?

Unable to print to an HP Color LaserJet 2600n in 10.4.11

Hi (I really, truly have gone through the other topics and can't find a solution).
I'm trying to print on a G3 iMac via USB to an HP Color Laserjet 2600n. The printer driver is not included with Apple, and when I went to download it from the HP site (complete package for G3 computers running OS 10.3 or 10.4) it says there are no files to mount. I downloaded the same thing for a G3 running Panther and it installed perfectly and that iMac prints to the 2600n without a problem. I then downloaded the driver for G4s using the 2600n onto the G3 running 10.4.11 and while it installed fine and the print setup recognizes the printer, the printer will not print. It goes through "starting job" gets to "processing job" and stays there forever. I was on Customer Support with HP, and as a result of installing the printer on my older iMac, we've deduced the problem must be with the software on the G3 that won't print (the one running 10.4.11)
I read somewhere that with this HP printer and some others the job gets processed on the computer itself and then is sent to the printer. Clearly, the iMac is not processing the job.
I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded, etc. etc. I don't know what to do. I installed Ghostscript et al, but there is no driver there for the 2600n. I've tried generic postcript and it doesn't work- in that case the print box goes for a few seconds and then says "printing stopped."
It's only this printer- this iMac with 10.4.11 prints to two other printers via a Bonjour network (an HP 2015 and an HP 2300n). But I'd like access to a color printer. Any thoughts? Any ideas? Why won't the complete G3 package install on this iMac when it will on the one running Panther? And why won't it process the print job?

I'm trying to print on a G3 iMac via USB to an HP Color Laserjet 2600n. The printer driver is not included with Apple, and when I went to download it from the HP site (complete package for G3 computers running OS 10.3 or 10.4) it says there are no files to mount.

I then downloaded the driver for G4s using the 2600n onto the G3 running 10.4.11 and while it installed fine and the print setup recognizes the printer, the printer will not print.
OK. So you began by trying to install the same package you installed on the Panther machine? It sounds as though the file got corrupted during the download if the system couldn't mount the disk image. Anyway, you then downloaded a different package for G4 machines and installed that on your G3 machine but this didn't work.
Are you sure about this? Do HP really have different packages for G4 and G3 Macs? If so, you will need the G3 package for a G3 Mac. Can you point me to the HP download page listing the drivers so I can take a look? That way I should be able to see exactly what you've tried so far.
OK, I found the page. There isn't a G4 package as such but the G3 one is supposed to run on Tiger so that is likely the one you need.
Is the printer's firmware up to date? I notice there's an update utility for it, too.
It goes through "starting job" gets to "processing job" and stays there forever. I was on Customer Support with HP, and as a result of installing the printer on my older iMac, we've deduced the problem must be with the software on the G3 that won't print (the one running 10.4.11)
This doesn't follow. It could be that HP's drivers don't work properly on Tiger but do on Panther. That could as easily be HP's fault as anybody else's. (It might not be their fault, but the fact that their driver works on Panther doesn't necessarily mean that driver - or another driver - will work on Tiger.)
I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded, etc. etc. I don't know what to do.
When you uninstalled, how exactly did you remove the installation? Please give me as many details as you can.
I installed Ghostscript et al, but there is no driver there for the 2600n.
Why did you think installing GS might help? Ghostscript doesn't provide print drivers as far as I know (though it is involved - or can be involved - in printing processes).
