HP 2605dn Color Laserjet firmware problem.... wny suggestions on what to try next?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I installed the firmware upgrade on my color laserjet model 2605dn to resolve the red background printing problem with pdf documents. The install utility appeared to install it and then I got the little smiley face that I understood meant that it went the way it was supposed to. However, now the printer no longer displays lights or anything on the lcd display when powered up. WHen first turned on, it goes through at least part of the start-up check and then seems to hand and stop. when I turn it back off with the switch on the back, there is an audible click from somewhere inside as it powers down.
sooo.... am I correct in thinking that the firmware may be corrupted and that without the ability to reset or reload from the console, combined with no communcation with computer or network, that it's doa? Or does someone hav a suggestion on how to address? I'm not very knowledgable about printers, but am no stranger to electronics, instruments, etc... in other words, I have no clue what to try next, but am comfortable trying about anything...
Best Regards

I wonder whether anyone can give me advice on the above problem, thanks. Have upgraded to Firefox 9.

My ipod touch is dead. I have tried charging it, resetting it, using iTune refreshers etc.....nothing is happening...the screen is still black.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

it seems that HP has not released a compatible driver for Windows Server 2008 yet. You may need to contact with HP support to see if they have a latest driver for Windows Server 2008 or if they have plan to develop a Windows Server 2008 compatible driver
for this printer. You can visit the following HP support site:

Zen Micro "Firmware Problem" - One solution and what to do BEFORE it happ

My Zen Micro 6GB recently croaked with the dreaded "firmware problem" message. After a call to support, I was told to send it in, however I was later able to connect to the unit and download new firmware.
Here's what happened:
In the middle of a playlist, the unit froze, displaying "firmware problem."
- I took the battery out and powered up in recovery mode, then tried both reboot and reforomat. No luck; Still got "firmware problem."
- I downloaded firmware updates, thn connected the unit to my laptop, which does not have MTP media explorer installed. The laptop does have Yahoo Music Engine and Windows Media 0, both of which are used regularly to copy music to device.
- The computer recognized the Zen Micro, but the firmware update did not run, saying it could not connect to the device.
- Retried several times, after reformatting, etc.
Now, here's what seemed to fix it
- Let the battery drain completely while in the unit
- Connected the Zen Micro to a computer with the MTP media explorer already installed. This is a system that is also used to regularly download music to the device.
- Allowed the battery to charge for an hour
- Started MTP media explorer, noticed that device went into "Recovery Mode"
- Ran the firmware upgrade and it installed.
This is conjecture, but it seems that the MTP media explorer must be running to launch the firmware upgrade, but you can't install MTP without a valid device connected. I don't know why this is - maybe some kind of copy protection scheme. I only had it installed on one of my computers because it seemed unnecessary and I hate loading software that I'm not going to actually use.
This is what worked for me. Hope it works for you.
I'm still really disappointed with Creative's warranty terms, lack of phone support past 60 days and failure of tech support to recognize the problem and offer a solution, but my unit is working again and I didn't have to send it back!

By "MTP media explorer", do you mean the MTP/PlaysForSure version of Zen Micro Media Explorer? The earlier versions say "(for MTP devices)"; the latest ones say "(for PlaysForSure devices)". Or do you mean the Microsoft "MTP icon" in My Computer, which should appear on all MTP-capable systems (including your laptop)?
I don't really think it's a DRM or copy protection issue; I think the "firmware problem" is wiping out the hardware code the firmware installer uses to confirm that the device is indeed a Micro instead of, say, an iRi'ver. I suspect ZMME is one of the alternate means it uses to confirm that a Micro is connected. (An issue for further testing is whether ZMME should be launched or just installed.) Firmware fails on all kinds of devices; I suspect this is just a peculiarity of Creative's MTP/Janus firmware installer.
This is likely to be a significant issue for the FAQs and/or Creative knowledge base. With a growing number of MTP/Janus players in the Creative lineup (Sleek, MicroPhoto, and shortly Touch & Xtra), it probably won't be just a Micro issue in the future.
Edit: I just read the other thread, and they seem to solve it by going to a system without Creative software and installing the ..0 firmware. So there seems to be two solutions for now:
If you don't have any Creative software installed, reload firmware and run the ..0 upgrade. (If you need 2.x firmware, then install the Creative jukebox driver and run the 2.20.05 upgrade; you can uninstall the driver afterwards. Sorry, but some of us need 2.x firmware.)</LI>
If you have the 2.x ZMME installed, open it, then reload firmware and run the 2.20.05 upgrade.</LI>

HP Color Laserjet CM2320fxi problems with Moutain Lion

Problems seem to be getting worse since updating to Mountain Lion - at first I couldn't use the scan function and then since running the update which I understood was to fix this problem I have more problems - Safari, Outlook and Adobe Reader all shut down if I try to print from them. This is a disaster!!! HP website says that Apple will issue updated drivers through the app store and they won't be updated by HP. Anyone any ideas how to fix?

I use the printer networked and running 10.8 OS... Duplex does not work to date, going to try the above update...
Image capture does not show the printer... BUT the HP Director software works perfectly to scan and access ALL features over the network...

HP Color Laserjet 2550N problem with letter size documents

If user sends a Letter size print job to the printer loaded with A4 paper printer fails to print until we hit the continue button even if the "Auto Continue" feature is selected. This feature is important because even if A4 is the standard paper size here in AU, most of the microsoft application defaults to Letter (we get lots of document from outside source and constantly hunting them down and changin them is not the viable solution).
We have lots of complain about this because half of our users who uses PC don't have this problem, so the source lies in the OSX driver for this printer. The printer driver setting also has a feature called "Paper Matching" which is set to "Nearest Size and Scale" which doesn't work as intended. After dealing with HP for about a month and a half they have refused to take any responsibility regarding this issue and blamed OSX. Any advise would be great.

Problems installing HP Color LaserJet 5550 on Airport network

I've been trying to install my dad's HP CLJ 5550 on our home network for ages.
*This is some background story, skip to the last bit if you don’t feel like reading*
Some months ago, everything was fine and dandy. We had a network consisting of:
The modem from our ISP
The switch from our ISP (I think that's what it was)
1 Airport Express 802.11n
2 Airport Express 802.11b/g
The 802.11n AE was connected to the ISP switch with a standard CAT5 ethernet cable, and that was in turn connected to the modem, and was transmitting the signal to the two other AE's, one connected to our printer with an ethernet cable, the other connected to our home stereo for AirTunes.
Then came the day when our ISP sent us a new modem, this time a wireless router/modem hybrid.
I got rid of the switch and modem and replaced them with the upgrade.
Furthermore, the new ISP router had WiFi built-in so naturally I wanted to take advantage of that, but in the end we ended up having 2 seperate networks, one transmitted by the ISP router and one transmitted by the 802.11n AE (which is connected to the ISP router w/ ethernet cable) to the other AE's.
The ISP router network had great internet performance whatsoever, but I couldn't get the printer and AirTunes working.
The AE network had very shaky internet performance but the network seemed very stable and served AirTunes and wireless printing.
After some time I tried merging the 2 networks, by setting the AEs to join the current network that the ISP router was transmitting. It kinda worked, but we lost all printing.
The printer is crucial to my dad so I suggested getting an AEBS so he bought that.
*SKIP TO HERE*
Now I've set the network up and it consists of:
1 AEBS (802.11n)
1 AE connected to the printer with an ethernet cable.
2 AEs connected to 2 different stereos.
1 ISP router (but this time I've disabled the WiFi!)
The AEBS creates the network, gets its internet connection from the ISP router, and is extended by the 3 AEs. Very fast, stable and AirTunes performs great... But the printer.
I’ve set the printer to TCP/IP and manual config.
The IP adress I’ve set to 192.168.1.150 (in line with the rest of the network)
Subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 since that’s what Airport Utility says.
Gateway Adress is set to 192.168.1.1 which I guess is the ISP router? I don’t know. It’s just what Airport Util says. Should it be the AEBS’s adress?
Are there things that I need to disable on printer? On the network? On my computer? Enable? Something? Aaaaargh..
I get nothing from pinging the IP-adress. Back in the golden days it used to recognize it as an HP printer it even checked ink levels and so forth.. Now I can’t even ping.
I’ve tried changing every parameter I can think of.. Adding it as LPD, IPP and HP JetDirect Socket.. (but since I can’t even ping what would I get from changing that?)
That turned out a wee bit longer than I expected...

The Firewalls are disabled and from my laptop you can view all of the shared
Folders on the Desktop with the CP1215 attached via USB.
When I issue the print from my laptop that is on the same network, you see the
print file show up in the CP1215 print queue of the Desktop the CP1215
is USB attached to and then disappears about 15 seconds later. Here is
how it appears on in the Desktop CP1215 Print Queue before it disappears
Doc Name Status Owner Pages Size Submitted Port
E-mail print Printing Guest 1 547 KB 2:00pm 08/26/09 USB003
I've also download/installed the latest drivers. When I reinstall the CP1215 on my laptop from
the Desktop, the "PRINT TEST PAGE works from the Laptop but then all print commands after
that do not work.
I see from my Google search I'm not the only one having this problem
ANY IDEAS what to try next?

Undesirable and random GET_CONFIG pages printing from HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi

An HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP is printing at what seems as random times two pages. The first page is a GET_CONFIG page and the second page is a two line page of random giberish characters much like the Windings font.
Error logs on the printer don't reveal anything is wrong. It apears that the printer is not aware of these printing events or is not recording them in the logs.
Something similar to this has been encountered and was a result of bad memory or a corrupted firmware load.
This sort of behavior was found posted online in a very brief message on HP's site. Different model of course. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/get-config-pages-on-models-CP2025/td-p/1095046 The problem apeared not to be resolved.
I dislike the event log of these printers. It doesn't define datetime stamp of the events.
Copied event log:
Number Code Page
8 54.2500 2606
7 54.2500 2598
6 13.0000 2324
5 13.0000 2264
4 13.0000 1503
3 13.0000 888
2 13.0000 812
1 54.2100 0
The number of events with these symptoms seem pretty sparse. At least those that are reported. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/CM2320fxi-Locks-up-when-printing-from-Ubuntu-9...
Also, the error 54.xxxx doesn't appear to be documented which makes identifying the problem rather difficult.
The "Get_Config" occurrences were taking place shortly after the scheduled calibration process occurred. This was discovered by chance when i just happened to walk by and heard the printer spin up and watched it give birth to the get_config pages. Almost like it was trying to communicate with me.. Perhapse I need to "get_config". LOL
As a last resort I reset the NVRAM. The reset of the NVRAM didn't resolve the problem. There is not enough information available from HP to find a resolution to this problem. This is an attempt to open up a support request with HP or knowledeable HP guru types via this forum.
Suggestions other than that of watching and reenacting Office Space are welcome.

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

HP Laserjet printer problem

My HP Color Laserjet 1500 printer doesn't work properly with my Mac (it did work well formerly with a PC). There are two problems:
1) the software is incomplete: I do have the printer established as my default printer but I don't get the full range of info I used to get, such as ink supply levels, etc.
2) the printer will print the first job but usually fails to print subsequent jobs; i have to turn it off and then turn it on again to print the next job.
I've reinstalled the driver from the HP website, searched the discussion boards on both HP and Mac, and don't know what to try next! The printer is no longer eligible for tech support thru HP.
Any suggestions from anyone?
Thanks --

Please check the operating system compatibility with your product and try to perform installation with latest drivers:

Drivers for color laserjet 5m printer (windows XP)

My computer crashed and burned - had to reinstall Windows XP - can't find right drivers on HP website for my Color laserjet 5 (c30991) Any suggestions on were to go?

The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

Hello @ Averus89,
Welcome to the HP forum. 
I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
I would like to help you with this issue. 
If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
would set a manual DNS. 
I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
The DNS to try is:
Primary: 209.244.0.3
Secondary: 209.244.0.4
Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again.
Let me know if this helps.

HP Color Laserjet CP1215 on XP home network will not print from second computer.

Win XP SP3 home network with two computers and one HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer(USB) that is shared.   Computer one prints just fine, but second computer cannot print.
Print job goes to the queue and says "printing" and stays there for about two minutes and then says "error - printing" and then I have to delete the print job from the print queue.
Downloaded latest CP1215 print driver and installed it to second computer, added printer just fine. No errors until the print job enters the queue. Downloaded the CP1215 Diagnostic Utility, but it will not work on second computer. Have not tried it on first computer when job errors.

Cannot scan from HP Color Laserjet 2840 All In One Any Ideas?

I have a Mac Book Pro with OS 10.5.8 on it. I recently had my MAC in for service and a full reinstall of the OS was necessary. I was hoping that once I reinstalled the OS and other programs that everything would work. Apparently I was wrong. I could get my HP Color LaserJet 2840 printer working, however I was unable to get the scanning feature to work to scan documents into a folder on my computer. I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. I looked inside the HP Director program and it showed that no Scanner or Utilities could be accessed. They were greyed out. Everything in HP Director was greyed out. I took a look at the connections on the printer, restarted the printer a couple times, nothing worked. My printer is connected through my network. I am unsure what to try next. Any ideas?

Have you installed this driver?

I have a 1st Gen Time Capsule 1tb. It turns on, boots up and turns green for 5-10 mins, but then turns solid orange and then blinks orange. I have removed the hard drive and replaced the power supply . . . still the same problem. Suggestions?

I purchased a used 1st Gen Time Capsule with a 1 tb hard drive.
When I plugged it in and did the initial setup, it worked fine, but gave me a hard drive error. A few minutes later the green light turned solid orange, then blinking orange, then the status light went off. The lights in back stayed on.
I removed the hard drive and rebooted, it turned green for 5-10 minutes then reverted back to a solid orange, blinking orange, then went off.
Next I purchased a remanufactured internal power supply, and installed it (without the hard drive in). It turned green almost immediately. After about 15-20 minutes, I decided to try to install the hard drive again, booted it up, and tried to erase the hard drive with was working properly according to the software. It stopped erasing the disc after about 20 minutes and turned solid orange again, then blinking, then no status light (but back lights were still lit).
I'm a bit flabbergasted at this point, any suggestions on what to do next? I think i've pretty much replaced everything except the logic board, but can't seem to find any information on the symptoms of a logic board malfunction.
Thanks!!!!!!!

A Gen3 is identical board to a Gen4 although they have some differences in firmware and wireless card was updated on every model.. but a Gen3 is substantially faster than Gen1, Gen2 which also have identical boards.
You can with careful shopping get a Gen3 pretty cheap.
Most use a delta power supply which I think is a lot better than the flextronics used in most Gen1/2
You can sell back the parts to ebay.. people still would buy the power supply etc. Even just the case can be useful to a repairer.
But if the board is gone.. it is hard to repair.. not impossible.. but hard.
Gen 3 and Gen 4 are not without faults.
See this page.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc
I have fixed it a different way.. by using the small converters you can buy in bulk from ebay for $1 each.. KIS3R33 .. they produce 3.3V at 2A peaking at 3A.. amazing.. I keep using them to replace onboard power converters by removing the inductor and simply power directly.. the end result has worked great. You can simply change the resistors around and get any output from 1v to 20v depending on input.
Is it worth doing it .. no of course not.. it will waste many more hours than $50 is worth.. but it is kind of fun that you can actually make things work again.
Here is a pic of the Gen 3 totally powered by me. All onboard power removed.
This was to track down the fault in the Gen3.. but I am kind of pleased that it ended up neat enough and reliable enough to work for more than a year.. the Gen3 still serves as a way to get Netflix via network for a friend running 24/7.
The units supply (from left to right)
1v, 1.1v, 3.3v, 5v, 1.8v
It is feed by 12v supply which is also directly connected to the hard disk.
So it is possible to fix.. !! Only got to be a bit crazy.
