HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer problem

I upgraded to Windows 7 and my HP LaserJet 2605 dn is now printing very very slow printing and the colors (especially red/orange) are not correct. Can you help?

Hello
it is good to check if you have the latest FW installed: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18...
And youa re using the appropriate driver: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1140731&...
For a color check: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01345578&prodT...
Also it might be tried to change manually the color options in the driver settings: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00660138&prodT...
If the slow printing happens with PDF please see: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=...

Color Laserjet 2605dn printer with printing envelopes correctly

I am having problems with my HP Color Laserjet computer which is not printing envelopes from the computer which has Windows 8.1 installed on it. It will print out letters just fine now, but had problems with that previously, using WordPerfect Suite. The printer is a Color Laserjet 2605dn, which is connected to my home network. The same problem seem to be happening on my mini laptop which is running Windows XP. I just fixed the printing problem on my windows 7 computer and had to print my envelopes using it. The HP Mini Laptop use to print out my envelopes just fine previously, but have the same problem. On the Pavillion Sleekbook, which is the newest I have the special print software from HP which lets me print paperwork where the others are not using it. I would appreciate any help with this problem. The setup isn't correct and the envelopes don't print out correctly like they did previously.

Color LaserJet 2605dn Printing only Black and white

I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry. However the Black cartridge has over 2,000 pages of ink in it and the printer will not let me prink only Black and White. It seems the color cartridges must also have ink in them in order for the printer to print. Does anyone know a work around so that I can print with the Black Cartridge and not purchase the color cartridges?
This question was solved.

Color Laserjet 2605dn prints only grayscale in Windows 7

Over the weekend I upgraded 2 PCs to Win7. I downloaded the most recent Universal Printer Driver from the HP website (dated Feb 18, 2011). The problem? From some applications, the printer now prints only in grayscale. For instance, all output from CorelDraw X5 is grayscale. In MS Word 2010, most output is grayscale, but curiously "Word Art" prints in color even when all else prints in grayscale. Opening a bitmap (photo, for instance) in MS Picture Editor, it will print in full color, but the same photo opened in CorelDraw X5 or imported into MS Word will print only in grayscale.
I have uninstalled the printer driver package (using Microsoft Management Console) and reinstalled it, with the same results.
Help!

I do not know of any availability of a previous driver for Windows 7 32bit for this printer. Did you try both drivers from this page:
Drivers for 2605dn
The drivers listed for PCL6 and Postscript, are different in size, maybe one will fix the problem. Make sure to uninstall one before trying the other.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn Strange Problem

Hi all,
I have a strange problem going on,
Whenever I go to print through the network to my 2605dn, PDF printing takes forever. I tried switching to Gutenberg Drivers, up to 5.2.6 . Then I tried using Generic PS 5c, then it printed faster, but would not print color (only grayscale). When I use the default HP 2605DN driver, it prints slow. Does anyone know the solution to this, or an alternative printer driver I can use that will still maintain duplex, and high memory. Windows machine print fast and normally.
Thanks.

PDF can contain allot of information; for instance I can print a 20 page text document in the time it takes to print some 2 page PDFs. Just as an example, I could make a PDF the size of a business card with so much detail that it takes 30 minute to print.
have you tried printing the PDF on another printer? if so, dose it take a while on that printer as well?

HP Color Laserjet 3600 Printing Problems with Airport Extreme & JetDirect

I have a HP Laserjet 3600n connected via ethernet cable to our Airport Extreme base station using the built-in JetDirect functionality of the printer. Prior to installing Snow Leopard we had no problems and every computer on the home network could see and print with full functionality on the printer.
After installing Snow Leopard, it took a while but I got the printer working again with the same setup. Then we had a power outage and the printer was no longer visible on the network or in the airport settings. Again it took a while but I once again got it to work. But now it seems like it keeps falling off the network and the printer itself either shows an IP address of 0.0.0.0 or another random one. The IP address should be generated by DHCP by the airport.
I don't know if this is a problem with Snow Leopard, the airport extreme, or the printer. The way I got it to work the last couple times no longer fixes the problem. Someone please help.

I don't know if this is related, but...
My MacBook Pro (Airport) has always been dicey connecting to an HP LaserJet 4000 on my wired LAN. Before Snow Leopard, I used AppleTalk rather than IP printing because it just worked.
But Snow Leopard doesn't support AppleTalk any more, so I reinstalled the printer to connect via JetDirect (which supposedly provides more features). When it works, it works fine. But very often I get a message that it can't connect to the printer. The only thing I've found that fixes the problem is power-cycling the printer, which somehow enables queued jobs to print. Needless to say, this gets old.
Is there some trick I'm missing?

HP Color Laserjet 5550dtn Printer problem

The printer keeps printing out the same two color copies on 11x17 paper then follows with page after page of code that will not stop. Any idea of how to stop this would be helpful...

HP color laserjet 2600n - printing problem.

When the my HP color laser jet 2600n print a page, it is no question if this is blank or colored, the paper show 2 vertical strips constiued for more parallel very thin lines.
One strip is large about 1.2 cm at 3,5 cm from the edge; the other is large about 0.5 cm at 4 cm from the opposit edges.
The color of the bands is primarily cyan - green.
The intensity of the strips is different from any print.
The problem is increased quickly.
The levels of any toners are about 45%.
The HP page print test for the toner cartige do not show any problem (however there are even the 2 verical strips).
The tranfer roller, after the printig proces, is no clean and present the sames strips above described.
I cleaned by a liquid soft cleaner the transfer roller and other part easily detachable and finding in this the presence of dirty then removed: any improvement.
I observe that the photosensitive drums of the cartrige toners (cyan e magenta) are not perfectly clean: it present traces of toner in corrispondence of the bands.
I think about a phenomenon of fat dirty that has propagated from the rollerr to the drums.
Some other user has already found my problem?
Could I look for to resolve without resort to the after-sales service?
How to can eventually clean the drums?
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you.

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

HP LaserJet 2605dn Printing Problems

I have been using the above printer for sometime. I have it connected to an Airport Express and have printed to it many times with no problems. I recently upgraded to the latest HP drivers from their website. Now whenever I print from any Mac on my network the prints all come out with a solid blue background. If I print from PCs on the networks there are no problems. I have reset the printing system, made sure the printers firmware is up to date and tried connecting it directly to USB but still the blue background. Help!!

Here's the URL for the drivers at their site: 2605dn drivers.

HP Color LaserJet 2605dn - prints black pages over print

thanks, I pulled out all the cartridges, and they all look the same on the left side, all look to be the same, so don't see anything out of place. Wiped down the inside while everything off and out, and reinstalled cartridges. First test print from button on back came out perfect (was so excited) so I tried a second test print, and the black came back on about half the page, then a third test print and the entire page was almost covered (no longer excited) Hopeully original and these photos get approved to help show what I'm seeing. Here is picture of contacts: Here is picture of the three pages printed:

Looks like a high voltage power supply issue with the black only. Since the laser/scanner on this model uses 1 motor for 2 colors that would eliminate the laser/scanner. Repair by a repair shop may cost more than the printer. Only suggestion I can give to is do a google search for the service manual and download it. Look for instructions for the removal of the high voltage ps and remove it and then put it back in. There is always the possibility one of the connectors has become loose and is causing the issue. Good Luck.

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn - won't print in color

I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn printer and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7. Our IT dept. installed an updated driver (HP Universal Printing PCCCCL 6) but now my printer will not print in color nor can I find a setting where I can adjust it.
I also cannot duplex but found helpful post that I will use to try and correct that issue. If you can help me I would appreciate it. IT seems to busy to help and my work involves a fair amount of graphics so I need my color.
Thank you!!!

This post may be old but someone might use it later. Right click on the printer and go to properties. On the General tab go to printing preferences. (Windows 7- double click printer, click Adjust print options.) Advanced tab - expand Graphic, under Image Color Management change: ICM method to ICM handled by printer or host system. Apply and close out the windows. Run a test print to make sure it works.

Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I get errors like:
"unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
"unable to send data to printer"
"printer not connected"
I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
deleting and re-adding my printer.
reseting my printing system
Installing Guenprint.
re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
None seem to correct the problem.
This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, a brody.
Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
I thought the issue may have been resolved.
I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

Hello dp146,
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums.
This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue.
Good luck.

Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again. I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it. It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from. I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly. It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
Any advice would be appreciated!
