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?

I have a similar issue with a Laserjet cp1525nw, it was mostly corrected by removing and reseating the toner cartridges.

[HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni] Stopped printing black ink documents when Magenta toner finished

Hi there,
I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.
I just printed about 200 pages of black ink documentation. The black ink cartridge is still about 38% full.
Although none of these printouts involved colour, the printer started flashing the message: "Replace magenta cartridge".
Since then, it would no longer print. Again, I am only attempting to print black ink docs, and I even tried turning off the colour print option to no avail.
The printer queue on my macbook shows the doc as 'printing' and 'sending', and then it disappears, with nothing happening on the printer itself.
If I push the 'X' button on the printer, it says 'cancelling print' or something like that.
Is there any way around the problem of the printer not printing anything once one of its cartridges runs to empty, even though the printjob does not need that colour cartridge?
Thank you!
Steve

How can I find the Toolbox FX on Windows 7 Professional? I can only find information about Windows XP and Windows Vista. When I go to my Start button, and go to All Programs , there is no HP option or folder;therefore,I can't find the Toolbox FX.
My printer ran out of magenta toner, but all I want to do is print in black ink (which I have plenty of).
Can anyone please help me?

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?

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - Network connect on Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

For a temporary fix, I've connect an HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni for network use by my department. The printer is printer over the network, but it is not printing in color - just black and white/grayscale. The demo page prints in color, but nothing sent over the network will print in color. Is there a fix for this?

Hello SoonerGirl, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni & Windows 7 via network

I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni connected to the network, not via a USB cable. How to I setup this printer so I can print to it from my WIndows 7 machine? Will HP be coming out with anything other than the Universal Print Drivers for this printer? If so, when?

The full feature download for your printer supporting windows 7 will be available for your product in late January 2010.

Hp color laserjet cp1518ni color does not align???

I recently posted at the beginning of the month saying I was having problems with my hp color laserjet cp1518ni and the whole left side printing blurry. After cleaning the rollers, running it through the cleaning mode, restoring the defaults and calibrating the colors, it miraculously worked.
But less than a month into the fix and I am once again having problems. I have done all of the following (I have windows vista 64bit):
*updated firmware and confirmed that it is updated to most current version 20120110
*restarted computer
*turned off printer - more than once
*disconnected printer - more than once
*restored defaults - more than once
*calibrated color - more than once
*run it through the cleaning mode - more than once
I have taken each toner cartridge out and carefully placed them back in again making sure they were firmly in place.
My husband has tried connecting it to his computer and printing it, but has gotten the same results.
I was trying to print out a job when I noticed that the color was horribly off from what was on my computer screen. Since I was 5 prints away from needing to change the cyan cartridge, I changed it, thinking this would fix the color. Not only did it not fix the color, but that's when the alignment problems started happening. I am so completely frustrated. It is ridiculous to have this kind of problems with a printer every time you try to print and I've spent the last 3 hours fighting with it.
I am absolutely, without a doubt, certain it is the printer. I don't know what it is, with the printer, so if anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I just opened a 3 pack of toner (to put the cyan in) so now not only can I not use the printer, but I am out money for the other 2 toners.
The reason I know it is the printer, is because I finally I printed the same exact piece I had been printing on the hp color laserjet cp1518ni that looked horrible in both color and color alignment, onto a Canon MG6120 inkjet. The color was exactly as it appeared on my computer screen and there were no problems with misalignment. I just prefer to do my jobs on laserjet printing, so this is frustrating to have a large, expensive doorstop in my computer room.
Any help is much appreciated.

I wanted to add one more thing, as I was looking through the Resolving Print Quality Issues page
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01691481&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
I have printed out a Diagnostics Report and it's obvious that there is a problem. Under Solution #11, it tells you how to
Identify and replace the problem print cartridge
Because it allows you to print and see:
The page prints five bands of color, which are divided into four overlapping sections. By examining each section, you can isolate the problem to a particular print cartridge.
I have done a search on my computer for:
HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series ToolboxFX and it does not come up. I am able to do everything through the printer itself (run the cleaning mode, etc), but as far as finding anything on my computer under a folder, there doesn't appear to be anything.
I'd like to be able to print out these pages so that I can see which colors are giving me problems. Is there a way to do that from the printer?
Thank you!

My Color LaserJet will not print in color

Hi, I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
It has been working perfectly fine with my computer until now.
I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit
I just tried to print something on here, but it automatically prints in black and white.
I tried looking in the preferences, but I can't find any options to switch it back to color.
I tried it with another computer in the house, and it worked fine there, so it just seems to be this computer.
Please let me know, thanks.

Hi there gracekpm,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here to identify any software problems:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Lets us know the results.
Best of Luck!

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.

Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.
Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni toolbox error

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni, when I try to open the toolbox, I get an error message, "HP ToolboxFX has encountered an error and can not recover. Please restart HP Toolbox FX, or restart you PC." I have restarted my PC and it hasn't changed the situation. I don't know how to restart the toolbox as it suggests. How is this done?

I have the same problem. Have you found a solution? My printer is LAN-attached. My OS is Windows Vista.

I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
Thanks

InventoryLady,
Yes that is what I did. I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni STOPPED WORKING!

Will the print driver for HP Color LaserJet CP151ni be included with the MAC OS X 10.6 updates anytime soon? I just bought this printer two months and what a waste if it will not be supported by the updated OS. Really disappointed! Need to print....!

Never mind. Just realized that it was a network issue. Was able to use the included driver with the 10.6 OS (CP1510 series)

HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni color alignment problem

Hi, We bought an Hp Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer about 6 months ago, It worked fine until recently, when the colors started printing out of alignment. We tried calibrating and we updated the firmware to the latest one available on HP's website. This did not help. We contacted the supplier we bought it from, since it is still under warranty, but they told us to contact HP directly.
What should we do now?

I have the same problem. Very disappointed in HP

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

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.
