HP 1300 Laserjet & HP 2605dn Laser Jet printers print density problem

I have both an HP 1300 b/w and HP 2605dn color laser printer.  In the last week both printers have changed the output density. The 1300 print is coming out lighter than it used to, and the 2605 is not print the color tones as it used to. What used to be orange is now only yellow.Other colors are not right either. I can compare them to output a few weeks earlier, and they are much lighter and different color tones.
Both printers have plenty of toner in all cartridges. The toner cartridge on the 1300 was changed 2 weeks ago. The toner on the 2605 is 3/4 full.
This was like something got into the printer drivers and reset some parameters on both printers at once.
Can anyone help me here to check this out and how to correct the problem?

I have the same problem with my laser printer 2605dn.  the color is pale, i replaced the cartridges with original hp's but it did not help.  I also lost the capability of double side printing that I had when I originally loaded the printer drivers.  I noticed this all after I checked the internet for software updates for my printer.  Are there any solutions for these problems?
please let me know.

  • Mac OSx 10.8.5 and HP laser jet 2100M printer w/ driver version 19.8--Doesn't print!

    I've got a macbook pro with Mac OSx 10.8.5. I've successfully printed with my HP Laser jet 2100M printer until recently. The driver version is 19.8. I don't know what changed but about a month ago the printer says "printing--connected to printer" but it never prints. What do I need to do to get my printer and my macbook to communicate again and start printing? I also have a mac mini desktop running on mac osx 10.7.5 and it doesn't talk to the HP Laser jet 2100M either (also driver 19.8.Please, can you tell me how configure so these macs will be able to print to my printer?

    I have had a similar issue with my HP LaserJet 1320 printer on OS X 10.8. On certain PDF files (only those that I have tested so far), the data will send fine from the computer (and the job goes away) but the printer balks and drops the print job on its end. It's only when I save it as an image in Preview and then print will it work (advice from this forum post). However, when I updated the driver from 19.8 to 19.13 (in the Apple Software Update), it seemed to fix it.  Do you know what changed between 19.8 to 19.13? 

  • How do I use my HP Laser Jet 4M  printer work with my OS 10.9 MacBook Pro

    A "newbie" here.  I am having trouble getting my new Macbook Pro and its 10.9 OS to accept my HP Laser Jet 4M+ printer.  HP apparently does not support the Mac's OS10.9. Any help appreciated.

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.

  • How do i install a hp laser jet 4l printer on windows7

    how do i install a hp laser jet 4l printer on windows7 Where do I get the drivers

    The driver is delivered through Windows Update as described here.  
    You could also use the Windows 7 driver finder tool at http://www.hp.com/go/tools.
    If you do not have a parallel port on your Windows 7 machine you may need a USB-parallel converter cable.  The models mentioned in the posts tagged here have been verified by users to work in Windows 7.

  • Can't print to hp laser jet 1020 printer connected to airport express

    Hello All - I recently bought an airport extreme so I am doing some re-configuring of my home network but I am having issues getting the desired out come.
    I have the airport extreme connected to the modem. From the extreme in another room, I have an airport express connected to the airport extreme wirelessly (I set that up through the airport utility without any problems.)  Now I want to connect my usb hp laser jet 1020 printer the airport express to print from.  I have a windows 7 machine.  I can see the printer connected to the airport express through the airport utility.  I have tried to use the bonjour print service to set up the print connection.  Bonjour sees the printer connected as well, I run through all the prompts and click finish, but when I go to print something, it goes to print que and nothing happens. (side note, the printer works just fine when connected directly to the computer).
    So I guess my question is, it appears the computer sees that my printer is connected to the airport express. But some point along the way, when I go to print, the message gets lost or goes to the wrong place. I am on the right track?  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Does "plugged into it" mean that the printer is connected using USB or Ethernet?
    If USB, have you run Bonjour for Windows to find and configure the printer?  (Pages 16-17 in the Setup Guide)
    Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

  • What is the life expectancy of the hp laser jet p3015 printer?

    What is the life expectancy of the hp laser jet p3015 printer?

    What is the life expectancy of the older base stations (flying saucer/spaceship looking one) and what are the telltale connection signs that it's starting to go?
    Apple has never published any life expectancy specifications for any of their routers (or desktops/laptops) that I am aware of. As a rule of thumb, I would consider two years for any consumer electronics that operates 24 x 7 to be a reasonable period. Obviously some experience more or less and it would depend on a number of factors: ambient temperature, electrical circuit stability, area prone to lightening strikes, etc.
    Some telltale signs that an AirPort has (or is about to fail):
    Status lights are not illuminated or do not match any of the known configurations.
    Unit feels cool to the touch after power is applied even after a lengthly (15-30 minutes) period of time.
    Unit refuses to intialize, even after performing multiple "factory default" resets.
    Weak or no wireless signal.
    Ethernet port(s) not functioning
    Etc.
    Also, are there any compatiility issues with newer models and G5/G4s?
    Three potential issues:
    Depending on the version of OS X you are running on these clients, they may not be able to support the latest AirPort Utility required to administer the latest AirPorts. OS X 10.5.7 is the minimum required.
    Support for 802.11n connectivity. Most G5 or G4 Apples support 802.11g, some only 802.11b.
    Support for WPA2. Not supported if the G5 or G4 is equipped with the Original AirPort Card.

  • Help, Upgraded to Yosemite and now my HP Laser jet 1320 printer will not work!

    Two days ago I upgraded to Yosemite on my Imac. Now my HP 1320 Laser jet will not print at all!!! I need a printer for my eBay business ASAP and this is not good. The printer is a driver version 19.8 Is it compatible with the new program? I am so frustrated.

    Hello k1watt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to print to your HP LaserJet 1320 series after upgrading to Yosemite on your Mac.  I defintely understand how frustrating this is, especially since printing is vital to your business.  The printer driver version 19.8 is the most current version available.  To troubleshoot the issue however where you're unable to print, please follow the steps in the article below.
    USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel.Note:If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    UseSoftware Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Deletethe affected printer, thenaddthe printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Resetthe printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists,resetthe printing system again. Download and installyour printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

  • About getting hp Laser Jet 1320 Printer Driver Softwear

    Hello Bholla,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understood that you have recently installed Windows 7 again, since the LaserJet 1022n will not install. If you are getting "turn printer on" messages when the printer is on, you have to check the USB connection between printer and computer.
    Have you tried to installed using the HP full feature software and drivers for this printer? If not it is a free download: HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Let me know if that works any better for you

  • Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

    Good Afternoon,
    I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue.  I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches.  On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.  
    I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

    We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

  • Laserjet CP1025nw color, unable to change Print density

    Hi,
    I need to raise the "Print Density" to 5 (for pcb toner transfer) on my Laserjet
    CP1025nw color, but when I open the printer properties I do not have that option
    in the device settings tab, despite what is said on the help page of that model.
    OS: Windows XP
    The printer is on the USB port.
    The pilot is: HP LaserJet Professional CP1020 Series + last update
    How can I change that setting ?
    Please help !!!
    Thank you in advance for any help you can bring !
    All the best,
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From what you describe you want to increase your toner density on your subsequent print jobs. First of all, if you have not, you should uninstall this printer and make sure that the drivers are the most up to date using the website I will link below :
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4052972
    Here you should also check for your firmware to be sure that it is up to date. 
    I would also, both before and after, check under "Printer Preferences" (not properties) and see if there is a way to change the density under the Paper/Quality tab. 
    Let me know if this helps you out!

    What do I do to let it know that it has paper. I have turned it off & put paper in and out?

    Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having issues with installing your Laserjet CM1415fnw on your Windows 7 PC. I can certainly help with that. First, since you said that the install is timing out, we're going to remove the print queue. To do so:If the printer is connected through a USB cable then remove the USB cable.Click on Start and open Devices and Printers.In this window right click on any listed printers and click on Remove Device.Now we'll do a few things that may help with the install.Click on Start and type in cmd where it says "Search Programs and Files". Now click enter.In this window type in msiexec /unregister and click enter.Now type msiexec /regserver and click enter.To make sure we're using the latest drivers click on this link to download the latest drivers.Once it's downloaded try installing.If this works then please let other forum users know by clicking on Accept as Solution below this post. If this does not work then please let me know if you see any errors or provide more details about what happens when you install so I'll have a better idea of how to help you further.
     I hope this helps and I hope you have a great weekend!
