HP color laserjet 2600n windows 7 printer not installed problem with spooler.

My computer will not recognize my printers. Nothing new was installed, just all of a sudden, they were gone . Have installed new drivers, and had a very knowledgeable person look at it-nothing. Very frustrating. Have a program  that has been on it from the beginning and now it won't work (quark). Don't know where to turn. Am doing a windows defender scan for viruses as we speak. Help!!!!!

Could be a lot of reasons. First try to print a supplies status page- If that prints with color on it, you have a driver problem.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n Windows 7 -64 Bit Looking for HP Toolbox

    ‎01-09-2014 08:30 AM
    I'm having trouble finding the HP Toolbox.    I have a Color Laserjet 2600n.   OS is Windows 7 - 64 Bit.  When I print checks, I notice a slight shadowing of the numbers.  Thinking it may need cleaned, but I cant find my toolbox anymore and have to tried to look online.  I saw something regarding there was no toolbox for Windows 7.  Is this still the case?  When I print on paper everything looks fine.  Also, anything I print that has red in it doesnt not print very well.  This has been a problem for several years.   I had XP until March 2013 and then got a new computer.  Before the computer switch I cleaned and aligned the printer several times, but still no red print.
    Thanks,

    You should try the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD), which does list your device model as supported by the driver.  Go to www.hp.com/go/upd, hit the DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE.  Select a Windows 7 x64 OS, then I recommend trying the PostScript (PS) driver.  The installer will prompt a few questions-- select "Traditional Mode", provide your port information, etc, proceed.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2600n quit printing on an XP machine

    Even though my HP Color LaserJet 2600n shows "ready" on my XP control panel screen for printers, it just quit communicating with my XP system. I have it connected via an Apple Time Machine and found it easy to connect to the printer from any computer in the house (desktops, laptop, netbook, Apple). It worked fine for a long time but now I can't get my XP system to connect to the 2600n. Anyone have a suggestion on what I should do to regain the ability to print to this printer from my XP desktop? Thanks in advance.
    PS - Although I know this sounds wrong, I didn't install any new software or make any other changes to my system. It was printing fine yesterday and today - nothing! I've rebooted the PC and the printer. There are no error messages on the printer - it simply says "Ready". What am I missing?

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

  • Color Laserjet 2600n: only red not printing properly, washed out on the left side

    Hello,
    Our HP2600 Color Laser printer does not print well whatever includes the color red. On a portrait layout the 2" from the left are washed out in red. We only use new HP cartridges, clean the machine regularly.
    Error happens with different computers, XP and OS 10.
    Machine is about 2.5 years old, estimated 100,000 pages have been printed on it.
    Thanks
    Su

    I have two 2600n color laserjet printers.
    One has color fading down the left hand side and I understand that this is due to dust accumulating on mirrors and laser.
    More worrying is that the second printer will not print the color red at all - it gives an orange output

  • Z77A GD-65: Windows 7 not installing/running with Intel SATA controller.

    I've been having some weird issues with the Intel SATA controllers on-board. They won't let me install Windows at all. I'm using a Crucial m4 with the 0309 firmware.
    When I was trying to install Windows with the SSD connected to the Intel SATA controller, installation would always fail sometime around the "Completing Installation" segment. I tried ACHI mode, IDE mode, nothing worked.
    So I decided to try hooking up my SSD to the ASMedia controller instead, despite that being advised against. Windows was able to install and run fine on that connection. After that, I installed all of Intel's chipset drivers and all the updates available for Windows, hoping it would resolve the problem.
    Then, I connected the SSD to the Intel port again. Now I get a BSOD every time I try to start windows, even though it has drivers for the chipset available.
    I'm really upset by this... it seems like I'm going to have to settle for inferior SATA 6 performance just so I can run Windows. :(

    Quote from: Warner on 24-May-12, 03:58:56
    You can't install OS with ASMEDIA port, and then switch to Intel port.
    So basically, if I can't get it to install on the Intel port, I'm stuck using the other one... well, the performance isn't optimal, but I guess it's acceptable as a failsafe. Better than nothing.

    Try doing a new installation based on the Intel port, load Intel driver on HDD screen, and proceed.
    What Intel driver do I need, and how do I load it during Windows installation?

  • Color LaserJet 2600n Erratic Printing

    I've had the printer for a while.  It's been fine until now.  Then it stopped printing or printed only very faintly.  I turned it off, then on again, and it printed very well.  BUT, it will only print one job.  Then it has to be turned off/on again.  The online chat was not very helpful.  Because I print in grayscale with override on, the tech at first thought the problem was that the color toner cartridges were completely empty and so nothing would print.  So I replaced the cartridges, which had indeed been in for a long time, although I never had problems printing even with the "replace supplies" message on. . .but that did not solve the problem.  The only thing the tech said was there was an "issue with the internal hardware" of the printer.  She/he could not or would not explain further.  I was referred to a local repairer, who told me that HP doesn't support this printer and that it was best to throw it away.  Does anyone know what's wrong with it and is the repair person right?  I hate to discard it, especially since now I have to eat about $200 worth of toner cartridges which are virtually unused but of course not returnable because they're installed. . .thanks for any help/info/advice.  Polly

  • Has anyone successfully gotten an HP Color Laserjet 2600n to print from OSX Lion?

    I have it installed by IP address with the drivers that Apple Update provided. When I send a print job to it, the status shows that it's connected and printing and the little sideways barber pole is screwing away, but the job never prints. As a matter of fact, the printer never even starts its warm-up cycle. Has anyone gotten this printer to work on a bone stock OSX Lion 10.7 image?  This iMAC 27 is brand-freakin-new.
    I have absolutely no printing issues from any of the 5 (cringe) - Windows 7 machines in the house.
    Thanks for looking. I hope to have some helpful response soon.

    KJameZzZ179 and  PAHU - I appreciate you guys taking the time out of your busy schedules to help me. I pinged the printer and it replied. I pulled up its web interface and the gateway and subnet settings matched the settings on my iMac.  I opened a PDF and sent it to the printer successfully. I don't know what the hold up was, and while I am glad that I can print now, I am equally disappointed that I wasn't able to find the root of the problem so we could provide an answer to anyone else in the future that might have had the same problem.  Thanks again for your responses and willingness to help.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n monochrome printing

    OK, I am too broke to spring 90 bucks for a magenta cartridge when I only want to print black and white documents.  Is there some way to tell the printer that it is OK to ignore empty color toner cartridges and just use the black one for monochrome printing until I hit the lottery?
    Thanks

  • HP laserjet M1120n MFP printer not functioning properly with Lion

    After installing this printer it will scan but with some flaws in the scanned image and it will not print at all.
    All that it displays is that there is an error after attempting to print. I'm wondering if there is some special driver that I need?
    The printer is about 4yrs old.
    Thank you

    Your printer should be supported in Lion. Check to make sure you have the latest drivers installed. Make sure the driver for it is selected in the printer list.
    You might try deleting the printer and reading it once the latest driver and software is installed.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
