HP Color Laserjet 4550 not recognized by Mavericks.

Okay folks, yeah, I know, it is an older printer. But, it's a work horse in excellent condition that gets the job done. The printer is Wi-Fi and also can do ethernet. Mavericks will not recognize either now to print.
I finally made the jump from Leopard 10.5.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2. Yes, I'm regretting it but had no choice since I needed to connect the phones and iPad to the MacBook Pro (mid '09). I never had any problems until I upgraded to Mavericks. Ugh.
Although HP and Apple say that the original driver should be okay, nope. So I found the updated driver and installed it. Nothing. I tried with JetDirect and IPP. Blank. It's like I have no printer and worse yet, no drop down list. Shall I say I am beyond livid? (Don't even get me started on other programs like my Adobe Creative Suite that it will not accept or my Outlook that I had to rebuild 2x since "upgrading" the OS a week ago!). I did try the eprintcenter.com for HP but there is no printer key code for it to work.
So now, I turn to the folks here as my saving grace. With the exception of having to buy a new printer which is out of the question at this point in time, how did anyone else fix this Mavericks mess?

"Not recognized" doesn't really explain exactly when/where you have a problem. What drop down list are you referring to?
Install this driver download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now, reset the printing system.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14141
Now Add the printer using IP address and HP Jetdirect protocol.
If the correct driver doesn't show up, you can try generic HP PCL 5.

Change default Model - HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS

I want to be able to use the 2-sided printing capabilities of my Canon MP600. I was unable to share this printer from my Mac G4 to my Vista laptop without using Bonjour. However, Bonjour sets the printer model as HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS and I can't find a duplex printing option on this. Is there a way to change the printer model or another way to share this printer from my Mac to my vista laptop without Bonjour?

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 3600(not 3600n) with Fast Ethernet port - can I use it?

Hello! There is a HP Color LaserJet 3600 in our company connected via USB with XP-based PC. Recently I decided that we need this printer be shared directly trough our ethernet network, so I started to learn manuals - its own manual, Jet Direct, and all that stuff. The printer's manual says that HP Color Laserjet 3600 does not have neither its own ethernet port, nor support for embedded print-server like JetDirect 620n.
But!
Visual check shows that this HP 3600 DOES have its own ethernet port and if I connect it to network or at least to a notebook - it blinks like any other ethernet port with "lights" should do.
However.
Neither front panel, nor back panel says anything about network support(like letter "n" in model name).
Configuration page print also does not know about that mysterious port.
So my questions are:
1. What is this port actually?
2. Can I use it to share printer over network? Maybe, there is a way to upload 3600n's firmware somehow?

The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

HP Laserjet 2840 not recognized

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2840 All-in-One Printer connected to my HP Pavilion d4790y CTO Desktop PC. Frequently when I go to print something from the web or Word, no printer icon appears and nothing prints. When I open the printers folder, there is nothing there. It seems as if the PC does not recognize the printer. I’m not sure what exactly I do to bring it back, but it may include reloading the driver and rebooting, but it still happens again the next time. Any thoughts or suggestions?

My Color LaserJet will not print in color

Hi, I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
It has been working perfectly fine with my computer until now.
I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit
I just tried to print something on here, but it automatically prints in black and white.
I tried looking in the preferences, but I can't find any options to switch it back to color.
I tried it with another computer in the house, and it worked fine there, so it just seems to be this computer.
Please let me know, thanks.

Hi there gracekpm,

Trying to print to Color Laserjet CP2025n from OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro over the network...

Basically, the configuration and drive status all seem OK. But when I try to print something from Adobe Reader, nothing happens after I click print other than the dialog dissappearing. There are no indications of error either. And when I bring up the printer queue, it is completely empty, as if the document was not even sent to it.
I am seeing HP Color Laserjet CP2025n (F4F285) in the Printer selection, as well as in the System Preferences. And from System Preferences, it shows up as "Idle, last used" with a green dot. I have attached full System Diagnostics, Bluetooth Diagnostics (although, I believe this is network'd over the LAN), and the System Report of my Mac Pro. You can see these @
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2wbE3EVNff3WUNQR2RPTjRmejA&usp=sharing
The other week it printed fine, but it I think I recall seeing two options in the Printer selection box. Now it only shows one, but again, the drivers indicate that everything is alright. I can even view the amount of ink remaining?

Hi @jahburnit
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

54.6 PRINTER ERROR in addition to the REINSTALL TRANSFER BELT message on Color Laserjet 4550

After moving the printer gave the error 54.6. I tried to do everything from bpl08143-document and tried to clean everything, but the error remained. I changed the Transfer-Unit with a new one, but the error did not disapear. At the RESETS-menu at NEW TRANSFER KIT it did not accept SELECT .
The original cleaning-brush is missing, so I used another new one from a razor to clean the Density Sensor. Befor moving the printer was working without this brush being installed.
Can anybody help me to get my printer working again as I need it urgently and it is nearly impossibel to find a professional help here in the wilderness of Brasil.

Graphics Card Not Recognized under Mavericks Update? MacBook Pro 8,2

Every since I updated my macbook to mavericks, my dedicated graphics card is not recognized under system profiler or any software on the computer. I have the Macbook Pro 8,2 (late 2011) and the upgraded dedicated GeForce graphics card from the factory. My system is just running off of the integrated intel graphics at this point and there is no option to switch back in system preferences. Is my card just dead in there or did mavericks ignore it? I have no other operating systems to check. Should I just make an applestore appointment and get it looked at?

Found the solution ... finally!
Go to your system preferences - energy saver and then check if your Graphics setting is set to »higher performance«. Somehow the update to Mavericks change this setting to »better battery life«
Now both cards are recognized and running ... however, watch out: since I changed that setting, my fans are going crazy! ... so I'm not sure if I should keep it. It would be much easier if one could change the setting all the time without the need to logout and login again ... well, Apple though good isn't the Holy Grail

LaserJet p1102w not recognized by Toshiba A505 S6005 in WIN 10

the printer is not found during setup

This is not a one off, it is repeatable on brand new disks.
I previously had the original win10 preview build installed on this hard drive = no problems.
I then did a fresh install of build 9879 from CD. Install completed untill it got to the reboot phase = it would not reboot - the hard drive was not recognized in the bios anymore.
tested broken hard drive in another computer = works
tested broken hard drive in 2nd connector on my laptop = fail (still not seen by bios).
tested a few other sata disks I have laying around on both connectors of my laptop = pass.
upgrade my bios as there is one version higher than I had. = fail (still not seen by bios).
boot from broken hard drive on another computer and finish the OOB portion of the win 10 preview install = pass
So it seems clear that the hard drive is still working, but just not recognized on the original computer. It is only 2 months old so I get it replaced under warranty. Replacement disk is recognized by bios, yeah! I then restore image of broken hard drive
to this replacement. Disk is still recognized by bios. I boot up from this disk on my laptop. It works OK until first reboot, then is not recognized by bios anymore.
Computer = Toshiba Satelite P305 PSPC8U-01400Q
Hard disk = WD blue 1TB model: WD10JPVX-22JC3T0
Note: also with windows 8 running on this computer and the broken hard drive installed in second connector, windows also does not see it, neither through disk manager nor through diskpart command line. But if I boot up in Linux from a bootable USB flash
drive, then I can see the (broken disk) on this same computer. Yes I can see it and I can read and write to the filesystem, even though it is still not seen by the bios.

HP LaserJet 1010 not recognized by Windows 7 (64-bit)

My HP LaserJet 1010 (USB-printer) is not automatically recognized by Windows 7 (64-bit). I am unable to install the printer manually. I did locate a Vista 64-bit driver for this printer on the HP-website, but I don't understand how I could use the inf-file. I can't find a way to tell Win7 where to look...

Working solution on win 7 32 & 64 with driver lj1010serieshb-vista, did as follow:
connected printer, windows tried to auto install and failed, device was listed as unspecified.
googled for lj1010serieshb-vista(32/64).zip driver, downloaded from hp website, unzipped and extracted files.
Start > Run > PrintManagement.msc , then Print Servers > Localhost , right click on drivers > add driver > next > choose x86/x64 > next > have disk > browse to location of extracted
files, select hpc1015e.inf > ok > select hp laserjet 1010 hb > next > finish
Repeat above process and this time select select hp laserjet 1015 hb > next > finish , this step is needed as stated on previous post some files are missing on the 1010 driver and adding 1015 fixes the problem.
Now back to Devices and printers , right click on the unspecified device > troubleshoot > then will ask to search for driver, select "apply this fix" , it will find and install the correct driver from previous step > then will ask to set printer
as default, select "apply this fix" > then will ask if you want to share printer, select "skip this fix" if you don't want to share > close troubleshooter.
Now i have perfectly working printer, 'preferences' is working and not crashing win explorer and printer doesn't hung.
I guess you could first add the two drivers to your system before
connecting your printer and it would install perfectly but who would though this old printer would not work trough windows update.
thanks to the people who went by trial and error to find a working solution.
