Color LaserJet CP1515n and ghost printing in Windows 7

I have an odd problem with my printer, that has otherwise worked perfectly. In XP there was never a problem, but with Windows 7 it is not going as well.
The test pages from the printer look correct, and as i said there was no problem until i switched to Windows 7. I can print text perfectly fine, but when i try to print an image, i get a blurry "ghost" printing. It is as if the image is printed faintly, slightly lower, which makes it look like i am seeing double and make my head hurt. This happens both for monochrome and color printing.
As i said, i do not beleive it to be a physical problem with the printer, because the testpages look correct. But i just cannot print any kind of image without getting the ghost print. How can i fix this?

Hi,
Have you been able to solve the ghost printing problem as I have encountered the same problem & would like to know how to fix it?
Many thanks

Color Laserjet CP3525 and duplex printing

Hi,
just trying out the 3525 and I have noticed that duplex printing is very misaligned, i.e. the printing on a two page spread has a different top margin on the left and right page. This is real dissapointment, I was really expecting more from an HP device and payed much more just to get the duplex function!
Is there anything I can do about this?
Regards
Goran

HP Color LaserJet CP1515n - Disable colour?

Hello,
We have a HP Color LaserJet CP1515n and I have made general settings to prevent students printing to it in colour. Now that's fine until they configure the print settings and turn it back to colour again.
Is there any way I can restrict access to the areas where they can set it to colour/black&white/greyscale so that they cannot get around this?

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with printing colour on your Laserjet CP 1515n. I can help you with that.Now, since I am not quite sure whether you have a software issue or a hardware issue in disguise we're going to do some of both types of troubleshooting. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Once that is done this document will outline how to troubleshoot print quality issues on the printer. If you have any issues please let me know what happens and I will be able to assist you further.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

HP Color LaserJet CP1515n - Out of alignment, ghosting or blurred image.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope someone, possibly a member of HP staff is able to provide a solution for a problem with a Color LaserJet CP1515n printer, which has being asked quite a number of times, without a satisfactory solution, other than to replace the rather expensive toner cartridges, even if they are still usable for months after the page count is gone to zero. Where is the sense for the protection of our environment in that, having to replace near full cartridges??? I purchase only original and genuine HP cartridges, but I refuse to discard a near full unit, simply because the counter says so.
Now to the issue at hand:
Printer: HP CP1515n, model CC377A
Firmware: date code 20080813
Operating system Windows 7 Professional
Printer used as a shared network printer and runs daily through the calibration routine when switched on.
Issue present with all connected PC's, also running Windows 7.
Problem: Currently it is impossible to print pages without a blurred edge on the right hand side of an A4 page. Alignment appears to be correct on the left hand side of the page. Was able to print Diagnostics Pages ( two), which shows a parameter settings matrix from 01 to 27 and A to X and there is also a second page with a large number of squares in colors, which also show the mis-alignment.
As the "ToolboxFX" program, which is mentioned numerous times in the support pages, is not supported in Windows 7 anymore, the user has to make do with the web interface of the printer, which allows for a range of settings as well. I assume this web interface does not support the adjustment all settings on the printer.
From the diagnostics page, I assume it might be possible to adjust the parameters set out in the parameters matrix, shown in the middle of the page. I would like to know, how can this be done or at least re-set, as I think these parameters show how askew the image is printing?
I might be wrong, but I'm not convinced this mis-alignment issue is simply down to the cartridges.
Looking forward to a reply or any suggestions.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for letting me know James_LAG.

Best Quality Printing on HP Color Laserjet CP1515N

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?
Try these steps in this document, to see if it will resolve the issue.

Problem with HP Color laserjet CP1515n !

Dear anyone,
My HP Color laserjet CP1515n is running wilde, because it prints every single page with black stripes on the margin. I have tryed to start the cleaning mode several times, but it does over and over again...
Please, hase anybody any experience regarding to such behaviour?...
Thanks a lot
/E

Hi - I have not seen this issue, but let me see if I can get some more information in order and try to help.
(1) Are the stripes running vertically down the page, or are they running horizontally across the page? If running horizontaly across the page, what is the distance (in millimeters) between each defect?
(2) Is the product (and cartridges) new? Did the product (and cartridges) ever work normally?
(3) Please print 5 pages that have color and then print 5 pages that only have black and white text. Do you see the defect on all 10 pages?
These types of issues are difficult to troubleshoot without seeing the defect, but maybe I can offer some help based on the answer you give.

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.

Hello dp146,

HP Color LaserJet 1515n fails to print

HP Color LaserJet 1515n fails to print
I had this printer just 13 months, and it has stopped working without giving any kind of error code.
I ran my black down to 1% using override - and then nothing. The printer accepts jobs and appears to do everything up to the point when it should start feeding paper through the printer transport.
I changed the black toner, but it made no difference.
To avoid complex print driver problems I have been using a simple txt file with 'hello world' for testing.
Having reinstalled the drivers.
I have done a very extensive web search, I cannot find any appropriate help.
I took the side off the machine to reveal the electronics, and tested all the connections etc, but cannot find anything obviously wrong.
The transport mechanism seems ok, because the manual feed slot accepts paper and pulls it in, but then goes no further, ie to actually start printing.
The calibration process seems ok, and all the 4 color cartridges seem ok, and the spindles on them obviously turn having marked them to see if any were stuck.
As there is no error code in the log file, I cannot see what is wrong.
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong? Are there and tools that can be used to interrogate the printer further?

Wait a minute! It's only certain Indesign documents that won't print.
All TextEdit docs will print.
I created a few scribbles in Photoshop and they print.
But with InDesign, there is no predicting which documents will print or will not print. On some that will not print, if I remove all but one text box, then they will print. On other documents that do print, if I copy some text off of one that won't print and paste it in, then that one stops printing too.
On some that won't print, if I erase everything on the page and create a new text box and type a few words into it, the page will print. If I revert to the previously saved version, once again the page won't print.
What kind of craziness is this, anyway? It seems random. I can't figure it out.
Even on the documents that won't print, when I try to print them the printer's activity light blinks as though it is just about to print, but then the light goes out without printing.
Anybody got any ideas what this problem is and how to fix it?
All I know is that EVERYTHING printed before I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9.

Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again. I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it. It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from. I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly. It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hp color laserjet 2025 and windows 7

Subject
I have two hp color laserjets. Toolbox cannot be installed with windows 7 pro. Toolbox worked well with windows xp pro. How can I determine amount of remaining color toner and other necessary information without toolbox. There is no toolbox upgrade on the hp website.

The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.
