HP Color Laserjet 4600dn - presets don't save

We have an HP Color Laserjet 4600dn which is networked and is using Appletalk.
The printer has two paper trays-- #1 is a pulldown rack which will hold various paper sizes and #2 is a 500 sheet tray for letter size paper.
In OS X 10.4 we could go into the "Paper Feed" feature in the Print menu (in MS Word, for example), set the feed to Tray #2 and save this as a "preset" we called "Main Tray".
In OS X Leopard I can no longer save the preset so the paper is always fed out of tray #1 unless (1) there is no paper in tray #1 or (2) I manually set the paper feed feature each time.
HP does not have a newer drive on its website and Leopard has the CLJ 4600 in its list of printer drivers and has settings for features such memory and duplex.
Anyone have an idea how to get the very useful "presets" function working again?
Thanks
Rich

This is a known problem and will most likely have to wait for an update from Apple.

Saved presets don't save all

I have a Lexmark C510N color laser. I set up 2 presets, one for color and one for black and white printing (in the Color tab). The latter setting does not stick from one print job to the next. I found that if I switch to the color and then back to the black and white then black and white is checked and it works fine. Anybody know of a workaround for this?

I noticed this also. The funny part is that it used to save presets, until an unrelated problem caused me to have to perform an archive and reinstall of Tiger. Since then, presets no longer "stick".

HP Color Laserjet 4600dn fan problem

Hello,
can anybody tell me what I can do that the loud fan which is running in idle time will shut off early? I already set power save mode to one minute, which results in switching off the backlight and dropping the total power consumption from 31.2W to 30.5W - but only after a full hour the top left fan gets switched off (and turned on again at printing - not by leaving power save mode). In that case power drops to 26.7W.
Any ideas welcome!

Hello again!
I SOLVED IT !
Who ever, when ever will have the same issue, here's how i fixed it (sorry for my not so correct english):
I googeled around a bit more, and found a topic in some forum:
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/68382
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/63372#1
And then i saw a video in here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
What i did:
Took the printer apart. All the plastic covers. I think i only had to take 2 screws out, to cet the covers. I only didn't take down the cover where you can put paper in, i didn't need to.
The cover where you put colors inside was tricki. The lid communicates with other pinions, so you'll have to remove it. To remove it, there is this little black pinion inside the printer. In the center of the pinion, there is a buttonish thing, you'll have to push it to the side ways, from center to edge to remove the pinion and then you'll be able to remove the top plastic cover.
Then i did as it's shown in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
You'll have to clean this "solenoid" thing. I used a little knife to scratch off the clue from both pieces. There was supposed to be a felt, but mine didn't have it anymore, and THAT was wat was caousing it.
IMPORTANT: My felt from the solenoid was cone, so i replaced it with masking tape. I cut a little strips out off of a masking tape and clued/wrapped it around the solenoid. It is recommended though, that you clue a little felt back in there, but i didn't have it, so i used masking tape.
Then i put all the pieces back together and it worked !
You cant believe my happiness, when it started to print every paper correctly. I had this problem for a while, and unbelievably this worked.
If you have the same problem, i hope this trick will solve yours too.

Printing photos with Color Laserjet CM1312. Need proper printing software.

I'm trying to print photos from my Color Laserjet CM1312 multi-function printer.
I used to have a Photosmart inkjet, and tried to use the photo-printing softthat came with that printer, as I really like it. But that must have been designed just for ink-jet printers because the printouts end up way too heavy on ink density, to the point that some of the ink is actually scraped off during the printing.
What software should I be using for the color laserjet?
I don't need editing tools as I have Photoshop ... just printing tools.

OK here am I again.
as mentioned before I created an bogus printer with:
lpadmin -p test -v file:/dev/null
verified the presence of the printer;
lpstat -p
$ lpstat -p

At first "test" printer was disabled for an uknown reason.
tried to use lpadmin -p test to enable the printer as described on the previusly mentioned web site, but couldn't get to enable printer "test". After reading alittle more on the internet I found the command cupsenable <printer> and indeed it changed the printer status.
tried to print;
echo test | lp -d test
result:
$ echo test | lp -d test
lp: Destination "test" is not accepting jobs.
I tried to change the condition of the Color laser printer but did not made any difference with the cups command.
Conclusion: how can I modify this status to make the printer accept jobs?

Problems with OS X 10.4.4 & HP Color Laserjet

I have been getting a "49 2FC8 Printer Error" message from our HP Color Laserjet 4600dn in the past month. The error locks up the printer. It occurs from any computer on the network. It occurs when I plug a Mac directly into the Jetdirect jack on the printer or when I go through the network. It occurs with many types of documents: .pdf,.doc,.indd, etc.
I've probably spent six hours on the phone with HP. The end result of all the testing and isolating is that there may be a bug in their firmware for the printer.
Is anyone else having a problem like this with their HP color Laserjet? If so, have you resolved it?
Thanks for any help. It would be good to know if you've had the problem even if you have not resolved it either.
Thanks,

Color Board Preset Won't Save

I'm feeling really dumb here. Someone stop me if this sounds wrong...
This is straight from the help...
Save a color correction preset
In the Timeline, select a clip that has the color correction look you want to save, and open the Color Board.
Choose Save Preset from the Action pop-up menu (the little gear icon) in the lower-right corner of the Color Board.
Type a name for the preset and click OK.
OK, so I do that, and go back to that preset list, except... my named preset is nowhere to be found.
Any chance there's something else I've done that could affect this? It seems so remarkably straight forward.

I'm having the same issue - not finding a 'saved' preset...
When I go to delete the two preference files you indicate, this is where it gets interesting. I had first downloaded the trial version of FCP X, then purchased the application.
When I look in the folder I see:
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.FinalCut.plist and
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.FinalCutTrial.LSSharedFileList.plist. (note "trial")
Yikes! I wonder how many other FC files have "trial" associated with them? What to do?

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

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 Pro MFP M177fw - PostScript support?

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a new printer/scanner/copier(/fax is a nice to have, but not mandatory), and I'm deciding between the following models:
HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw
HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw
PostScript support is important for me, and I know that the 175 has this. However, I'm not sure about the 177, even after digging through several web pages and documents. Here's what I found:
- The main specs page for the 177 says that it supports "PCLm". I'm not familiar with this PCL variant, so I don't know how it compares to PCL5 or PCL6, etc. I was unable to find more information on "PCLm".
- The "Software Included" section of Page 2 of the PDF datasheet for the 177 mentions "HP PostScript" driver. This is the only place where I've seen any potential indication that the 177 supports PostScript. This section also mentions a "PCLmS" driver. I could not find any further information on "PCLmS".
- The for User Guide the 177 only mentions PostScript in a section that refers to ePrint. However, it does not imply that the 177 itself supports PostScript.
- The Product Specifications page (in the Support section of the HP site) for the 177 has a "Printing Specifications" section which lists only "PCL3 GUI" next to "Device languages".
I'm guessing that the 177 does not support PostScript, but does anyone have any more definitive information? Also, is there a description of PCLm / PCLmS somewhere?
Thanks!

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw fax to pc

I have just bought this printer and want to msend faxes to my pc. I was told by PC world that it had this function. So far I cant find it can anyone help. Many thanks

Hi ,  I would be happy to help shed some light on the issue your are having with trying to setup this Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw to receive your faxes on your PC.  I have looked into this further for you, and I'm pretty sure this model doesn't support receiving faxes on your PC. You can double check to make sure I haven't missed it in the COLOR LASERJET PRO MFP M177 User Guide.
I did however locate a different model, where in the manual does provide instructions on how to set this feature up but it is a black only printer. Its the LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw (again black only, no colour.)
Step 5 (Optional): Configure settings for receiving digital faxes (Windows) The product can save incoming digital faxes to a computer folder. Use the HP Digital Fax Setup Wizard to configure the settings. This feature is available only for Windows. 1. Click Start, and then click Programs. 2. Click HP, click the name of the product, and then click Digital Fax Setup Wizard. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the settings.  HP also has this feature available on it's HP Officejet Pro 8610/8620/8630 e-All-in-One Printers, which are Colour Inkjets. Some of the commerical products also support this feature but I'm unsure of which ones. I would really suggest contacting HP Shopping for more information on these models.  Hopefully this has answered your questions, and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.   Thanks,

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow My Multifunction Printer series

I have a new HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction, the delivery paper after the fuser, it is no making the right job and I got a jamming code, I replaced the fuser but still making the same issue.

Hey @Germanimagenet ,
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 Enterprise flow M880 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

HP Color Laserjet 2550n has no more printing on both sides

In 2005, I bought an HP Color Laserjet 2550n to go with my laptop. I had no printer problems. I loved the feature where I could print a document on both sides of the paper. The option would show up on the properties menu on the print document dialog window.
Over the past summer, I lost my laptop to a crash and had to get a new laptop using Windows Vista OS. I hooked up the printer using the USB port and all seemed good until I tried to print on both sides. In the properties menu of the printing dialog box, the option has disappeared completely! I tried updating the drivers - didn't fix it. I tried reinstalling the software that came with the printer, but Windows Vista OS wouldn't accept it. Help! I don't know what else to do. I appreciate any help.
I have also tried Bob_Headrick's advice on Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide for "No option for two-sided printing." The option appeared in the properties menu, but the printer still did not print properly.

Sorry guys................I answered my own question.
I went into the HP P2015 user guide & found the answer. on page 32.
I went into printer properties, device settings, noticed that duplex unit for printing on both sides was showing as "not installed". I changed this to "installed", and it worked.

Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw won't print double sided anymore

Hello. I have a Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw until about three weeks ago it would print double sided no problems. I have used this printer on my pc and now my mac with no problems previously. I am running a Macbook Pro (less then six months old) which is running 10.10.1 (Yosemite). I attend college and I know at the end of last quarter during finals week (Dec. 15th) I still had the ability to do 2 sided printing. Sometime between then and the new quarter starting last monday I lost the ability to do 2 sided printing. After scouring the internet I have tried everything they suggest:
Uninstalling printer and reinstalling
resetting the printer setting on the mac and then reinstalling printer
resetting the printer settings on mac, rebooting and then reinstalling printer
installing older drivers( hp automatically installs newest drivers even if you use an older driver file)
resetting physical printer to factory default and reconnecting to wireless network.
repairing the disk permissions
The only new software I have installed on the computer in the last three weeks is Adobe Creative Cloud and the printing problem preexisted that installation.

Hi @Arboria9 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing two-sided from Yosemite. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
You have pretty much have done all the steps that I would have provided.
Are you still able to print two-sided from the Windows computer?
Are you missing the option to select two-sided printing in the print driver?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 6500)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How was the printer name listed?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.
