Color Laserjet 3600 PQ print quality test pink shows faded on right side

All the color print outs have this somewhat faded color on the right side.
When I ran the PQ test under troubleshooting it shows on the pink page missing color pink towards the right side.
fades into white / blank. Already changed the toner and still happens. I calibrated that printer twice and still occurs.
what else can i do to fix this?

Hi ProspeorusCE,

HP Color LaserJet 3600 series (VISE Installer)

Hi everyone,
I made the mistake of using the VISE Installer that HP suggests as a download for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 series printer. I installed it, and then couldn't figure out why I still couldn't see this printer driver. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#hpdrivers and learning that the "driver" included for the Color LaserJet 3600 is not a "Modern Driver", I realized that installing the VISE installer from HP does me no good.
Now, I have two questions:
1) How can I uninstall this stuff that HP crammed onto my system? The VISE Installer seems like its a blast from the pre-OS X past, and doesn't appear to offer any sort of uninstallation. Do I need to write up a shell/AppleScript to read the log it writes to my / and remove the files manually? (I'd rather not do that, but I will if I have to).
2) Is there a PPD that anyone knows of for this printer? I'd like to be able to print to it over our network, and I need a "Modern driver" (i.e. PPD) to do that.
Thanks dudes!

To get a modern driver, you'll have to install a few open source packages. Try hpijs and ESP ghostscript from here:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
(I think you have to use the 3500 model choice/PPD).
If that doesn't work, you'll have to compile the driver:

Very slow printing Illustrator CS3 to HP Color Laserjet 3600

Howdy!
OS X 10.5.8 G5 dual 2.0. Printer is connected via Ethernet. I've created new printers using Bonjour, IP address, and HP IP printing under Other...
Illustrator hangs upwards of ten minutes with a beachball at the "Printing Page:" window, before the file shows up in the print queue.
Illustrator is printing fine to all my other printers, (hp Deskjet & 2 Epson Pro 4000's) and all my other apps print to the HP Color Laserjet 3600 nice and speedily. If I reboot, it takes about 45 seconds on the first print, then back to 10 + minutes, after that.
Happens with any Illustrator file. I've created several new files, both RGB and CMYK. Acrobat will print these files nice and speedily. I can place them in InDesign, and it prints them nice and speedily.
CS2 also hangs in the same fashion.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I don't know if this is related, but...
My MacBook Pro (Airport) has always been dicey connecting to an HP LaserJet 4000 on my wired LAN. Before Snow Leopard, I used AppleTalk rather than IP printing because it just worked.
But Snow Leopard doesn't support AppleTalk any more, so I reinstalled the printer to connect via JetDirect (which supposedly provides more features). When it works, it works fine. But very often I get a message that it can't connect to the printer. The only thing I've found that fixes the problem is power-cycling the printer, which somehow enables queued jobs to print. Needless to say, this gets old.
Is there some trick I'm missing?

I need a print driver for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 for OS X 10.8.3

Now that I have updated to the newest OS I'm frustrated because neither Hewlett Packard nor Apple has a driver for the printers that I have. So I can't print from my laptop to any of my printers. I just need a driver option for and HP Color LaserJet 3600, Canon MF5900 Series, and a Hewlett Packard CP1518.

Color LaserJet 3600 and 10.6 over wireless (Broadcom Wireless Chipset)

Checking the archives, I've found that I'm not the only person who has experienced problems printing to a Color LaserJet 3600 via wireless. Those threads were archived with no solution so I couldn't reply, but I wanted to expand on what I discovered.
It is not so much Mac OS X 10.6, but the way HP's horrible host-based printing drivers are tied to the wireless. I've discovered that laptops with 10.6 that are also using the newer Broadcom BCM43xx chipset will garble their print command, causing the print queue to mess up on the host machine, and the printer to become unresponsive to all other machines (it perpetually thinks there's something in the queue, so no other print commands will go through.) The three laptops I tested were the unibody aluminum 13" MacBook Pro, unibody aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, and the plastic unibody 13" MacBook; all with clean installs of 10.6.2. All three laptops have the same printing error.
Laptops with the Atheros 5416 chipset work fine, even with 10.6. Laptops tested with this chipset were the aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, aluminum 17" MacBook Pro, and the white MacBook.
This is not any fault of Apple, it is HPs abysmal host-based printing system. The solution to this problem until HP updates their printer drivers is to use the open source HPIJS drivers (HP drivers for the Linux Foundation Open Printing.) You'll need HPIJS, Foomatic-RIP, and Ghostscript; all installers are listed and come with uninstallers should any unexpected errors occur.
I don't know Apple's policy on linking to external websites, but a simple Google search for HPIJS will give the desired link.
This may be a good solution for 10.4 and 10.5 clients working across subnets, as the HPIJS drivers can be used via simple LPD/LPR instead of the HP IP Printing System that relies on mDNS.
Once installed, when you type in the IP address of your Color LaserJet 3600, you'll be presented with the option of choosing the HPIJS driver.
Additionally, if you use the HP drivers for the LaserJet 3600 over both wired and wireless network, you must add the printer while on the wireless network only; it is important that you disconnect the ethernet cable. If you add the printer while using a wired connection, the printer will not work over wireless; however, if you add the printer while on a wireless connection, the printer will work on either wireless or wired.
Yes, the HP host-based drivers are that ridiculous.

Unfortunately 10.6.3 did not fix the problem.
I've also, unfortunately, found out that the HPIJS will also eventually fail to print.
This is beyond frustrating since we invested several thousands of dollars in these printers and we can't use them.

HP Color LaserJet 3600(not 3600n) with Fast Ethernet port - can I use it?

Hello! There is a HP Color LaserJet 3600 in our company connected via USB with XP-based PC. Recently I decided that we need this printer be shared directly trough our ethernet network, so I started to learn manuals - its own manual, Jet Direct, and all that stuff. The printer's manual says that HP Color Laserjet 3600 does not have neither its own ethernet port, nor support for embedded print-server like JetDirect 620n.
But!
Visual check shows that this HP 3600 DOES have its own ethernet port and if I connect it to network or at least to a notebook - it blinks like any other ethernet port with "lights" should do.
However.
Neither front panel, nor back panel says anything about network support(like letter "n" in model name).
Configuration page print also does not know about that mysterious port.
So my questions are:
1. What is this port actually?
2. Can I use it to share printer over network? Maybe, there is a way to upload 3600n's firmware somehow?

HP Color laserJet CM1015 MFP printing problem

Till now my HP Color laserJet CM1015 MFP printer was working perfectly and suddenly prints miss aligned colors. Each color prints a little bit below another. I uninstalled printer’s software and reinstalled again but it didn’t help. There is no error messages. Printer’s alignment didn’t help either. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Yes I solved the problem. I had to clean the registry of all information regarding this printer. During the installation I noticed interesting thing. The only installation that worked well was from the CD that came with the printer. I've tried downloaded latest version but it didn't install properly and have no idea why.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

Is HP Color LaserJet 3600 supported by windows 8.1, 64-Bit???

Yes - and you can download the driver HERE.

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?

Please be aware that this forum is a peer to peer support forum, it is not a direct link to HP support.
I have a similar issue with a Laserjet cp1525nw, it was mostly corrected by removing and reseating the toner cartridges.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, printing from web cuts everything off on right side

Hello,
I am having a problem with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus cutting of everything ont he right-hand side of my pages when i print anything from the internet.
I am currently using Windows 7 and I am printing from Firefox.
I use Gmail and anything I print from there does the same thing. I see on several other posts here that they tell people to go to the File menu and choose preferences, but when printing from Gmail, I do not see anywhere that has a drop-down File menu to choose from. I also see several people saying to choose landscape orientation to print, however it still cuts off the right side when I choose the landscape option.
When I print from Gmail I am just hitting the printer icon on the upper right corner of the email itself (when you put your mouse over the icon it says "print all"), or I click on the drop-down menu under that icon and choose "print".
When I am trying to print some web pages, I can hit the download arrow to the right of the google search box and then print the downloaded page instead. This usually corrects the problem, but sometimes when I try to download a page, it says there is nothing to download.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Steel

Hi @steel13
Since the issue only occurs when you print from Firefox, I feel it would be most beneficial if you reach out to Mozilla.
You might first consider resetting Firefox print settings; Fix printing problems in Firefox.
Best of luck.
