HP Color LaserJet 2600n and Airport Express Issues

To me it seems like more of an issue with the Airport Express and Snow Leopard. Am I totally off base on this. I tried the work around post in another thread on here and it just fails to connect to the printer properly. Either way, I wonder how long it will take to get this fixed.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n and HP IP Printing

I was having trouble configuring my HP Color LaserJet 2600n for HP IP Printing. The following steps resovled the problem. Perhaps others may find this useful.
I just purchased an HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer at CompUSA. I was able to successfully connect it to my network and print using Bonjour Printing (from all of my various iMac, iBook, PowerBook and MacBook computers), but was not able to configure it for TCP/IP printing. To solve the problem,
1. I visited the HP website and downloaded new firmware for the printer:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=446154&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=446153&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219
There are 3 files there, I downloaded and installed all of them in the following order:
2. HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer Firmware Update Utility - for some reason, the firmware on my new printer was from 2005 even though HP had posted new firmware as late as Dec 2006.
3. HP color LaserJet 2600n DC controller firmware update utility - a firmware update that addresses a ghost-image issue.
4. HP Color LaserJet 2600n OS X Universal Binary Full Software Solution - an updated set of drivers.
After all firmware and software was successfully updated....
5. I opened /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app and click the "Default Browser" button at the top of the page.
6. Clicked the "More Printers..." button at the bottom of the page.
7. Set the popup at the top of the configuation pane to "HP IP Printing" and clicked the "Manual" button immediately below it.
8. Entered the local network address for my printer (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and clicked the "Connect" button. The rest of the information in the panel was automatically filled in for me.
9. Clicked the "Add" button. The printer was added to the list of available printers in the Printer List, although the name of the printer is set to the ID that is configured in the printer firmware.
10. Select the new printer (NPIA0853X in my case) and click the "Show Info" button in the Printer List toolbar. Move the popup on the dialog to "Name and Location" and enter an new name (e.g., "HP Color LaserJet 2600n").

Download and run this on the XP machine. I suspect a security system update or change, but let's let the utility tell us.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and airport express

Hi,
I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and installed it via USB cable on my mac book pro. Then I connected the cable to my Airport Express (where I had before a Samsung printer working correctly) and now it is impossible to find my printer via the airport express. I tried to add it via the printers & scanners (+) but it does not appear in the list.
Then I tried to add it via IP address but the 175a model has no IP address, which means I can put the address of the airport express but it does not communicate with the printer then...
I really tried several options without success and would be really grateful if someone has an idea or a solution.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Chris

Hi,
Thanks for the link that is really useful. However when we follow this process, the printer is not recognized as a printer but as a scanner, which means that everytime we want to print with it, it is not possible because the scanner is not proposed as a device to print.
On the following link http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Laserjet-100-color-MFP-M175a-Mbook-Air-lion-o... we are trying to solve this problem with Provost but it seems to be more complicated than expected. So please feel free to tackle this problem with us .

HP LaserJet 1160 and Airport Express

I recently got an HP LaserJet 1160le and wanted to hook it up to my network using an Airport Express. I have used other printers with the airport express in its current config with no problems, but now I have an issue.
If i plug the printer directly into my powerbook via USB, the driver is automatically detected and everything is spiffy. When I add the printer through Bonjour, it doesn't detect the driver. The 1160 and 1320 are nearly identical and the drivers are almost the same, so I choose the 1320 driver.
When I print i get a single page with a few lines that state:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %RBINumCopies: 1
There are a few more lines but nothing that really seems to point to the problem. When I try and add the same printer to an XP Pro machine the Bonjour Printer Wizard tells me I don't have proper privillages to add the printer through Bonjour. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Just as a quick sidenote, I failed to mention that I was able to get it to work on my XP Pro machine selecting 1100 series as my driver. It seems this is only related to my two macs.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 and airport

Hi there
I have three mac laptops all connected to the above printer using the airport extreme. The printer seems to have slowed down dramatically recently -it sometimes takes up to 10 minutes to process and print a simple word document. The HP driver seemed to work pretty well, but can anyone help with why the printer is so slow?
Thanks

I just bought my MacBook Pro last week. I have been trying off and on for 3 days to get it to print to my HP Color Laserjet 3550 through apple talk and keep getting a message: The Application Printer Proxy Quit Unexpectedly.
I tried the generic post script printer driver. I no longer got the message but it didn't print either. I am at my wits end.
I was going to upgrade my IMac to Leopard and I sure am glad I read your post. I now will not upgrade because my IMac prints just fine.
So I at least learned something here. Maybe Leopard isn't the best system yet.

BT Home Hub and Airport Express Issues

Hello all
I am having major issues setting up my airport express to my home hub and also setting up Time Capsule to join my wireless network...
I really need a step by step guide if possible.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
PC

Welcome to the discussions!
You told us that you were having "major issues", but did not tell us specifically how you are trying to configure the AirPort Express, or what service you want it to perfrom on your Home Hub network, so providing a step by step guide is not possible without a bit more information.
Can you clarify on this, please?
In regards to configuring your Time Capsule to "join" the Home Hub wireless network, do you understand that the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not have the option to back up large files or make initial backups using an ethernet connection?
In order for the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network provided by the Home Hub router, you willl need to know (or be able to locate) the exact type of wireless security settings that your Home Hub is using. The Time Capsule must be provided with this information in order for it to "join" the wireless network successfully.
Can you provide this information, or if you do not know, check with your service provider to obtain this information? We cannot proceed with the configuration until we have this information.
If you are able to locate the Time Capule near your Home Hub and establish a permanent ethernet connection between the Home Hub and Time Capsule, you will be able to backup using the Home Hub wireless network and also have the option to backup using ethernet if you wish. In addition, this type of installation is much simpler to configure (and more reliable in operation in my experience) and we would not need to know the type of wireless security that the Home Hub uses if you choose this setup option.
Please post back when you have an opportunity.

Network HP Color LaserJet 2600n is killing us!

We have a network printer, HP Color LaserJet 2600n and we cannot install it. We deploy Windows 2008 R2 (Virtual Server) printer server over IPP. Users we connect to http://servername/printserver and it will list all network printers. All other HP and Xerox printers working fine, except this 2600n printer won't work. I tried both 2600n driver and HP Universal Driver. Printer drivers installed on the server will have 'package false' for 2600n driver, and it seems installing good for the Universal driver.
However, as soon as users map to the printer, the print spool service will be killed. I did a test page directly on the server and it said test page sent successfully, but guess what, nothing coming out! I verified printer IPs, gateway, name all correct, I also update the firmware but no help. This printer was working fine in Novell environment, we just migrated our printers to MS platform.
Anyone experiences this and has a solution? Thanks.
PS. We have Intel CPUs, not ADM, so no compatible issues here.

I realize this is an old post, but hopefully it will help someone else. Also had this issue. The problem is that the 2600n wont work on 2008R2. I've tried every driver I can think of. The one driver that is causing your problem is the device specific 2600n driver. You need to remove that driver entirely from the server and the client and try something else. Good luck getting this printer to work. Looks like we are going to end up replacing them.

Adding a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600N

Hi All;
I have an HP Color Laserjet 2600N that is connected to my home network. I assigned the printer a static IP, subnet, and GW address. I can ping the printer from both macs (New Macbool pro and an older G5 system), as well as my windows PC. The printer is connected to both the PC via USB as well as cat5 to the HP jetdirect card. I can even HTTP to the management portion of the printer from both macs. When I try adding the printer as an IP printer, the status view on the mac shows up as printer ready, but I cannot print a test page or anything. I even tried setting up to print to the PC as a print server and the mac sees it but doesnt print. I have tried the generic drivers, HP drivers, etc...An I missing something?

Hi inglewood,
Can I suggest re-configuring the ToolBox.
Opening the HP Color LaserJet 2600nToolboxStart the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox using either of the following methods:
Click Start , Programs or All Programs (Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003), HP , HP Color LaserJet 2600n , and then HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox from the Microsoft Windows desktop.
Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox icon on the Microsoft Windows desktop.
HP Toolbox TabsHP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox contains two independent windows which can be toggled back and forth: HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs and the Device Settings window category tabs.
HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs:
Status tab
Troubleshooting tab
Alerts tab
Documentation tab
From here you should be able to configure the frequency of report printing.
Thanks.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n issues

If someone could assist me I would truly appreciate it.
I have an HP Color LaserJet 2600n that has been installed on my network (I inherited it 2 years ago) and has been working without any issues.
We recently moved our print server to a new server and configured the printer on the network, along with 2 other copiers/printers. Everything has been working fine for a few days. Then all of a sudden no one can print, all of the print spoolers on the XP Pro workstations have stopped. A short while later they will restart again (color printer not included). I uninstalled the HP 2600n from the server and everyone can print perfectly fine on the two other printers. No issues.
Here's where it gets frustrating....
I download new drivers from HP website and install on the server (Windows 2003). I do not share it yet, but do several (20 or 30 test prints - from notepad, websites, test page, etc) and there are no issues. I then share the printer and install the printer on a workstation (XP Pro) and test the same - 20 to 30 times. Everything works great. (Keep in mind the workstation I am logged into is mine and I have Administrator rights).
I go to a users workstation (XP Pro) has Power User rights on the machine but not the network they are an average user. I install the printer, not an issue there. I try to print a test page and the print spooler stops. If I look on the server you can see the job sitting there. If I restart the print spooler, the job prints. I tested this on 3 other workstations, logged in as users and the same thing happens. If I log into all of the 4 workstations as Administrator, the job prints without an issue.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to resolve this?
Thank you!

Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n - now have to download and install drivers

With Leopard, my printer HP Color Laserjet 2600n was automatically identified and installed - no problem, just perfect
Now I had to download and install the HP drivers, as only HP Color LaserJet 2605 drivers are basically available. And if you use them they don't work. Printer seems to work but never prints.
A pity ... why making things worse?

Why does IE 9 say internal error and cannot print to Color Laserjet 2600n?

IE 9 displays message "Internal error, cannot print page" when I try to print to a networked Color Laserjet 2600n. Printing works well on my other networked HP printer.

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.

Fresh install of 10.6.2 can't add HP Color LaserJet 2600n to printers.

From the start:
Just got my laptop back from Apple (replaced mainboard) and decided to start over so I upgraded the HD to a 500 GB and reinstalled the System fresh. No personal files added yet. I also ran all of the Software Updates as normal and here it sites now with this problem when I went to add my printer:
The HP Color LaserJet 2600n is connected to the Airport wireless network by direct Ethernet cable to the router. The MacBook is connected via Wi-Fi.
Add Printer sees the HP printer via Default/Bonjour. Click it, name it, it already chose "HP Color LaserJet 2600n" for Print Using: (driver). At the very bottom it says in small print "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer." I click add and immediately a pop up says "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. The selected printer software is available from Apple, but you are not connected to the Internet."
So I can't add the printer although I can see it! This is bogus. It worked before. And how could it "know" Apple has the driver if the Internet connection wasn't working? Well, the Internet connection IS working. That is the other part of this that makes no sense. It works fine. I'm on the very same connection right now typing this. Software Update gave me no issues using it going through Software Update and not the printer driver update part..
What gives?

Can't help with the wireless muckup since I don't that. Two options. One, hook up directly, bypassing the wifi stuff, and try adding it. Or, two, download the update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

Unable to network print to HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to Windows PC

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to print on my network to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n that is connected and shared on a Windows PC. I have carefully followed the instruction posted on http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html and I am still unable to print. I made sure the printer name on the remote PC has no spaces. After I enter (on my Mac) my user name and password to access the user account on the remote Windows PC, I get the following error message:
Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name. Error: 256
Please help! Thank you!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Windows PC is running the Windows XP Firewall, the Avast Antivirus, and Windows Defender. I have deactivated all these applications and the issue persists.
I called Apple today (I am still in my 90-day free support since this is a new MacBook Pro). After some basic troubleshooting with a tier one rep, I was transfered to a tier 2 rep who told me after making sure that I was following the right steps to try to add the printer, that since the HP LaserJet 2600n printer is connected to a Windows XP computer, my set-up is not supported by Apple and declined continuing troubleshooting the issue. According to this person Apple will only support network printing when the printer is directly attached to a hub/router.

Hp color laserjet 2600n, very dim grayish film when printing black only

For some reason, my hp color laserjet 2600n has started printing with a very dim grayish film over each page. I've had this printer for about a year, and it didn't do this at first. Does it no matter what program I print from. I'm sure it's a setting issue, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any ideas?
And, when I select to print in black only, it still prints the color on web pages. Is there a way to print from only the black cartridge? These are the options in the printer dialogue box under color: print in grayscale, black only, 4-color. Under these settings are other options, edge control, half-tone and RGB color. I've tried each setting individually and still the gray film. The only other possibility I can see is under Print Options, it has draft quality or image quality. I've tried both and still the film.
Have any ideas.

1. take out all of the ink cartriges and look at the big black roller on the door for streaking, if streaking, clean with a lint free cloth dampened with windex (window cleaner) then close the door.
2. let it run to initializing.
3. open the door and look and the black roller on the door to see if you have streaking. If no streaking put one cartridge in and close the door and repeat the steps until you find what cartridge is causing the problem.
I did this and found that my cyan was creating the lines on my paper. I cleaned the cyan roller with a Qtip and some rubbing alcohol and it works fine now, no more lines on the paper.
Cheers
