Color Laserjet 3600n won't print from network

Our small office has an HP Color Laserjet 3600n that has worked great connected to the network via ethernet cable for many years. When we came in this morning it refused to work after a power outage last weekend, and print jobs would just remained trapped in the print queue with either "printer unavailable" or "printer is busy" messages. No error messages appearred on the printer, and it prints fine from an attached USB cable. I verified the network cables, and am even able to access the printer's web interface a-ok via it's web address. It normally operated on all the default settings, I believe, and I can't figure out what else could be the problem other than a hardware fault. Any clues? We have a bunch of toner cartridges and would hate to have to buy a new unit now.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

    My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color.  It's comes out very light, barely a pink color.  It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

  • Color laserjet CP1525nw won't print in color

    I installed both the PCL6 and PostScript drivers on my Surface Pro 3 to print to my Color LaserJet CP1525nw.  The printer is connected to my router.  The printer prints but only in grayscale.  What can I do to be able to print in color and continute to print through my router?

    Hi @PaDunc ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues printing in color from the printer connected to the router. I would be happy to help you.
    Please clarify, if the printer is connected to the router by a ethernet or USB cable?
    Did you install just the Universal Print Drivers or did you try the Full Feature Software also?
    I would recommend the Full Feature Software if that isn't one of the drivers you have already tried.
    Try and print the Supplies Status page to see if you have color, just to rule out a hardware issue.
    Printing or Viewing the Supplies Status Page.
    Make sure the greyscale option isn't enabled in the print driver.
    1. From Devices and Printers, right click your printer.
    2. Then click the Printer Properties, Preferences button.
    3. Click the Color tab.
    4. Make sure Print in Grayscale isn't checked.
    Did the colors print?
    What are the toner levels?
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?

  • Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175 does not print from network nor via usb cable

    My hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175 just stopped printing last week. I have tried everything recommended but nothing works. I have re-install it both on wireless network and usb connection = nothing works. It prints all internal reports but nothing from any computer. I have 3 computers which I have tried to print from. It even does not print the test page. Please dont recommend to update drivers etc. as I have spend 2 whole days on this and nothing works!

    Hi @einar1854, 
    I see by your post that you are unable to print by a USB or Wireless connection on 3 different computers, but the printer will print the hardware self tests. I can help you with this.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    For the USB connection, follow these steps if the there are no errors from the Print and Scan Doctor.
    (once we get the printer printing this way, we can setup the wireless)
    Here are steps to remove the jobs from the spool folder and restart the print spooler.
    How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
    Follow the steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for the printer entries.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB mass storage device and USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected)
    Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
    Check to make sure the proper port is selected.
    Go to start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
    Make sure the USB has a check mark beside it, if not put the check mark there and apply the changes.
    Check the print Queue.
    In the Devices and Printers folder.
    Right-click the name of the product and then click See what's printing .
    Click the Printer button, then click Cancel All Documents if there are any documents in the queue.
    Click Yes to confirm the action.
    If documents remain in the print queue, restart the computer.
    Try printing again.
    What operating system are you using on the 3 computers? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Print a configuration page to see also if the printer has a valid IPV4 address, so we have that information for when we setup the wireless. Printing a Configuration Report.
    Provide the first 3 sets of numbers in the IPV4 address.
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.

  • HP Color Laserjet 1515n won't print

    Haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.  Even disconnected from the network and stand-alone, the HP Color LaserJet 1515n (product number CC377A bought at Costco not too long ago) won't print.  Can't print configuration page, no demo page.  Nothing.  It just sits there saying "printing" and flashing but never does anything else.  Tried resetting through the menus. Didn't work.  Tried holding down the right arrow and X to reset NVRAM.  Didn't work.  Any help?  For when I do get the printer to work on it's own, I'm on Windows 7.

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1215 won't print on local computer

    I am using Windows XP.
    I have an HP Color LaserJet CP1215 connected to my computer by a USB cable.  It has printed many times, but I don't use it often.  I turned it on this morning to print an excel spreadsheet in color.  I use an HP Laserjet 4100 connected on a regular printer port for most of my printing.  Anyway this printer will not print from any program.  It will not print a test page.  I turned it off and on; restarted my computer; switched out USB cables; downloaded a new driver from HP.  I also download the diagnostic tool from HP and when it scans it, it finds it and says it is fine, but it will not print a test page from the diagnostic tool.  I have stopped the printer spool and restarted it.  I have done absolutely everything I can think of or that I have seen as a solution on HP.com and in my windows printer diagnostic tool.
    The weird thing is it prints when connected to another computer.  I hauled it to another office and connected it to another computer (Windows 7) and when connected it told me there was a problem with the driver, so I downloaded a driver from HP.com and it worked fine.   The REALLY weird thing is I can share it on my computer, go to another office, add it as a network printer and it works.    Why would it work as a shared printer, but not work for the computer to which it is physically connected?
    When I attempt to print, the document shows up in the printer spool and says "printing."  Then after a few minutes, it says "deleting" even though I have not manually deleted it.
    Anyone have any ideas?  I am fresh out.  I hate to think I have to walk to another office in my building to print to a printer that is right beside me.    Although it may be a good exercise. 

    I am currently in the same boat. I love how you posted this legitimate issue 3 years ago and there is still no resolution. It really reflects on the company's character and attitude toward their customers.
    Hopefully this will get a response.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2605dn - won't print in color

    I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn printer and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7.  Our IT dept. installed an updated driver (HP Universal Printing PCCCCL 6) but now my printer will not print in color nor can I find a setting where I can adjust it.
    I also cannot duplex but found helpful post that I will use to try and correct that issue.  If you can help me I would appreciate it.  IT seems to busy to help and my work involves a fair amount of graphics so I need my color.
    Thank you!!!

    This post may be old but someone might use it later.  Right click on the printer and go to properties.  On the General tab go to printing preferences.  (Windows 7- double click printer, click Adjust print options.)  Advanced tab - expand Graphic, under Image Color Management change: ICM method to ICM handled by printer or host system.  Apply and close out the windows.  Run a test print to make sure it works. 

  • HP LaserJet 1300 won't print from Classic

    I can’t print out of Classic environment because the printer (HP Laserjet 1300) isn’t installed there. My computer does not have dual boot. (That is, it can run classic, but not boot up in classic.) I've read some related posts and have tried some suggestions, but so far to no avail.
    The installation CD has installation for OS 9 and OS 10 and I have installed both from the OS X environment. But there is still no HP Laserjet 1300 icon in the Chooser in the OS 9 environment. I should mention that when I went to chooser and clicked on Laserwriter 8 icon, I noticed that there was a place that said “Select a PostScript Printer” but there was no printers to be selected in the related field. I have been to Apple System Profiler in OS 9 and there is no driver listed there for my HP laserjet even though I have installed it.
    When I click print I get a yellow ! message that says that my Document could not be printed because printer “LaserWriter could not be found. Try again?
    This printer works fine from OS X, but not from classic. I called apple help and they said to go to the HP website. The HP website said the following:
    “Installing a driver in Mac in classic mode
    2004/11
    Installing an HP driver in MAC® classic mode may be useful: if, for example, an application you want to use is not supported by MAC OS X.
    This functionality is supported by the PostScript and the raster drivers.
    Installing the driver
    With the latest version of the drivers, the installer already foresees separate MAC OS 9 and OS X installation. On MAC OS X, run the OS 9 installation and it will install in classic mode.”
    MY QUESTION:
    How do I “run the OS 9 installation”? What buttons do I press to do this?
    Thanx in advance
    Fred

    froellig, two wholly different things here.
    Looking at the 9 driver for LaserJet 1300 HP offers for download, anyway, it isn't actually a driver - it's merely an installer which, from either X or 9, should give you Printer Description Files to use with the standard PostScript drivers, namely LaesrWriter 8 or AdobePS.
    Test that it did that much by using Apple's Desktop Printer Utility to create a virtual desktop printer… If the Change button in PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) File pane leads to a Printer Descriptions list that does include HP LaserJet 1300 Series that much, at least, seems to have worked.
    If the printer works from OS X, then you could use LaserWriter 8 in Classic to Print to File, which would give you .ps files which you could manually drag into any X print queue. This works for most printers.
    The other thing is that yes, LaserWriter should show the 1300 in the right-hand Chooser pane so again, can X see it and print to it?
    If not that suggests a cable or hardware fault, bad settings or interference from other software.
    If X can see and use the printer, and there are no other faults with Classic 9, that suggests something inside OS 9 is interfering.

  • Envelopes won't print after W 7 upgrade - Color Laserjet 3600n and Brother HL-5370DW

    I, too, cannot print envelopes after upgrading to Windows 7. Same issue with 2 printers.

    envelopes created using mail merge

    Also cannot print to Brother HL-5370DW. Wireless
    When I send the envelopes to the printer, there are no errors. But the job is not actually sent to the printer.
    I CAN print other documents to both printers.
    I tried printing to XPS. A "Save the file as" dialog appeared. I browsed to the desktop, entered a name and clicked Save. No file appeared on the desktop.
    Thank you,

    You've got a double whammy there. CS2 is not universal so you're running
    it under rosetta. Additionally, there are still problems with Leopard
    and CS3.
    Keep an eye on the Leopard threads and give serious consideration to
    upgrading.

  • Why aren't there Windows 7 (64 bit) specific drivers for my HP color LaserJet 3600n printer?

    Why doesn't HP support its own printers by providing drivers for a very stable operating system?  I've been a longtime HP laser customer...since 1984 laser I.  I would like to use drivers for my color LJet 3600n which were specifically written for my computer's operating system.
    Does anyone know where there are Windows 7 (64 bit) drivers for the HP color LaserJet 3600n printer?  Do I have to purchase Brother or Canon or Lexmark printers to get support?

    Oh, you must not be on the English US site.  Basically it says to use the Vista driver and gives a link to it.  That is as good as it gets at this point, sorry.

  • Windows 7 and HP Color LaserJet 3600N

    HP does it best again.  No Windows 7 driver for Color LaserJet 3600n!   You can fill in the blanks...   However, using Windows 7 Professional, I was able to install the XP drivers.   Download the XP software and it will run in a virtual XP session.  I then added the printer as Windows 7 would lead you to do.   The add did not complete correctly--CTRL/ALT/DEL.  However, the printer was added and seems to work.   Maybe HP and Microsoft are pushing the more expansive Windows 7 Professional. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    XP Virtual session, not familiar with, but sure seems painful and possibly limiting vs HP doing the right thing in the first place.
    FYI ... Over in the Home > Other HP Products and Technologies > Windows® 7 Beta and test forum, the lack of a driver has already been noted in the thread ...
    HP Laserjet Color 3600n Driver for Windows 7
    A few select remarks by various people (including myself) in the thread were ...
    Is this really true and if so, for heaven's sake why?
    Ridiculous.
    stunned by this decision
    This is unbelievable!  We purchased multiple 3600n printers just barely a year ago (September, 2008).  We have made the decision to upgrade our office computers to Windows 7 (from Vista) and now we find out that our practically still new printers are not compatible.  I can assure you that I will NEVER purchase another HP compute or printer... EVER!!!
    I was also a bit surprised.
    I DON'T WANT TO HEAR BS SUPPORT RHETORIC FROM YOU GUYS ... FIX THIS. (a snip from my acidic entry)
    HP has not responded in that forum and I just put in a support email to HP if this is poor choice of words (not supported vs we are working on it) in the
    HP LaserJet, Color LaserJet and LaserJet MFP Products - Product Support for Microsoft Windows 7
    link to see if it is really being worked on. Since they didn't speak up in the forum and its been since 10/5 ... plenty of time to respond, I'm stepping it up and going on the offensive.
    On that Windows 7 printer support page, I counted  9 models (some of which have sub models for networking and duplexing) as not supported. I didn't count the supported ones, but must have been several hundred. What is really laughable is that the lowly LJ 2p is still supported ... aren't those circa 15 years old? Not sure if the 2p is the oldest one on the list, but it is the one I recognized as truly most ancient.
    My 3600n was bought at Staples in 9/2008 and has a manufacture date on 6/2008, its not like I purchased POS laying in someone's warehouse years and got taken by some scammer.
    Plain and simple ... I don't know when HP first started selling the 3600 and when they dropped, but I just don't understand how HP could do this to a  product they actively sold a year ago (and there was a Vista Driver update in 11/2009) yet they support the ancient 2p ... Astonishing !!!!!!!!!!
    HP the support listing (url above) for the 3600 (besides the bad news) and has a link to a trade-in program ... thinking ... oh they recogized the errors of there ways and was going to give me a good deal ... no, it was some generic trade-in page, but I ran my 3600n though the page to see what it was worth ... $25.
    Feel like getting stepped on, the trade in price, that was another one which lead me to this very acidic comment in my original post ... AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED YOUR CUTE HP TOTAL CARE LOGO IS YOU (HP) WITH YOUR HANDS AROUND OUR NECKS JUST SQUEEZING US FOR EVERY RED CENT WE MAKE IN JUST THE DAINTIEST WAYS YOU CAN (BET YOUR MARKETING PEOPLE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT INTERPRETATION)!
    I'm done being acidic, I'm just spreading the word!

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

    My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable.   I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99%  installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out.  I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
    1.  Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
    2.  Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up?  Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ?  I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase.  What to do if so?
    3.  Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation?  If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

    Hi @Marvalina1968,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    First to answer your questions:
    It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
    I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
    Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
    Please take a look through the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!
