HP Color Laserjet Printer 2840

My HP Laserjet 2840 will only print on the right 1/4th of the page.  I installed a new imaging drum but the problem still exists. There are no error messages.  This problem occurs when printing from the computer or when printing a test demo page directly from the printer.  Any ideas?

Hello Alaskeving,
The Color Laserjet 2840 is a commercial printer. I recommend posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.

  • HP Color Laserjet Printer 2605dn

    All of a sudden my printer (HP Color Laserjet Printer 2605dn) won't print reds.  I checked the magenta cartridge and it says it has toner left.  Doubting that, I bought a new magenta cartridge and it didn't help the situation....still no reds.  I installed new printer drivers....no fix.  All of the other colors work.  Do I need to throw away this printer?

    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...

  • Could a Color LaserJet Printer use / print to Photo Paper?

    Hello HP Support,      Well as you notice I have quite a few questions, since store representative say yes to everything and barely even know the answer. My Question here is I have alot i mean alot close to 1,000 sheets of HP Photo paper from a few year and decade back wasa good sale and just came across them recently hidden back in my HP Demo Day i presented. ** Anyways would like to know if i can use this HP Photo paper in my m276nw? Also do HP Color LaserJet printer normally handle and work with HP Media products so, if i buy another printer in which I'm searching around for another AIO would hope to do everything.  I have Premium, Matte, Glossy & Glossy Brochure Photo paper - HP Makes many types of Photo paper could i use these?  Since it does not state Laser or Inkjet on the box. Of course I'll reach out incase i have another question Thanks www.iOSGenius.com

    Opps -  So I find many Iron-on Transfer Media but states Inkjet will this work for Color LaserJet ? or is there a media for Laser products? Thanks Again, www.iOSGenius.com

  • Color Laserjet prints extra pages on startup

    I just bought a CP1518ni color laserjet printer and installed it.  It works fine except that whenever I restart my computer, the printer prints 3 extra pages.  Each has a single B&W line with gibberish printed at the top.  I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer but the symptoms remain the same.
    I am running Windows XP. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cleaning the guts of an HP B & W or Color LaserJet Printer

    Hi:
    I currently have an HP4M LaserJet printer...it appears to have "died" after 20 years.
    I have had to do meticulous internal cleaning of it in the past, when I toner cartridge would go bad, dumping toner into the printer.  With brushes, lint free cloths, etc, you could clean the inside of the printer, after removing a few items; e.g., the paper feed roller mechanisms, the fuse roller, etc.  The 4M's HP User's Manual showed how to do this.  If you take time to do it properly, ...and this usually requires several hours to do...you will end up with crisp clean printouts...no excess toner-speckling on the printouts.
    I am considering replacing the 4M with one of the following HP Laser Printers.
    HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne Printer (B & W)
    HP laserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw (Color)
    Am I correct that B & W is not striclty Black or White but also includes Gray-Scale like the 4M did ?
    The P1102 appears to have the same (or similar) toner cartridge mechanism that the 4M did.
    When you rermove it, you can see the gear mechanisms, etc....not yet sure about the fuse roller.
    The Pro 400 printers look very much like the 4M externally, but I do not yet know about the internals.
    The M251nw is a different animal.
    It has a metal slide-out tray that holds 4 toner cartridges which appear to be "rectanglular" in shape.
    Can this tray be  removed by the user (for cleaning) if a cartridge dumps toner into the printer ?
    Is the fuse roller accessible to the user for removal and cleaning ?
    I have looked through the M251's User Manual, and this level of cleaning is not covered.
    It only covers "cleaning" like an inkjet does for cleaning the printheads.
    Somehow, I would think that the user should have access to the guts of the printer,
    since a Tech Support person would also have to disassemble the printer for cleaning.
    if this information exist, where do I find it ?
    Thank you

    Colors are great because they provide you with color.  But the cost of ownership is a lot higher because now you have 4 color toner cartridges.  With the cost of toner cartridges hovering around US$130 each, you are looking at a cost of at least $520 in toner replacement costs.  Granted you won't be using all the toner across the whole page but if you print photos or images, it will deplete quickly.  Plus with 4 toner cartridges inside, the cartridges are fairly small.
    Cost per prints for black and white hovers around 1 to 4 cents per copy.  Color prints cost around 8 to 17 cents per copy. But I read somewhere from someone worker for a company selling the toner it can cost up to 30 to 75 cents per copy for a full page of color.
    So in a nutshell, it's very expensive to have color.

  • HP color laserjet printer on a networked windows xp Machine

    printer, I have an hp color laser jet connected to a computer on my in house wireless network. How do i tel my imac to use it. I just bought this imac and I am new to apple. I would really appreciate any advice I could get to get the mac to print.
    printer: HP color laserjet 1600 (connected to the xp computer)
    Computer: Windows running XP up to date
    Network: Cisco router wireless network

    You will need to turn on Sharing on both computers and specifically printer sharing. I would recommend you contact AppleCare (phone number is in your owners manual) and may be able to help you. Remember they are Apple Techs so there is a good chance they're not trained on MS Windows. I'd recommend Googling something like Printer sharing Windows XP.
    For example I found this link:

  • HP Color Laserjet printer stopped working after 10.4.10 upgrade

    I upgraded other night to 10.4.10 and I'm now unable to print to my USB connected HP Color Laserjet 3500 printer. Anyone have any idea what might be the cause and how to fix it?
    FYI, I already tried reinstalling the driver and fix the permission but no luck.

    Hello,
    Same problem here, with a HP aio 3015.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Problem with HP 3600n Color Laserjet Printer and new HP Notebook Running 64 bit Win7

    I have a new HP notebook (dv7t-6100) with Core-i7 Processor, running 64 bit Windows 7 with all of the latest updates.
    I also have a 27" iMac with Core-i7 Processor running 64 bit Windows 7 underneath Parallels 7. Parallels is a program that creates a virtual machine underneath Mac OSX.
    Both versions of 64 bit Windows 7 work perfectly . . . EXCEPT, neither will print from my HP 3600n Color Laserjet. The iMac will print to the 3600n in OSX mode, and an earlier version of 32 bit Windows 7 under Parallels printed perfectly with this 3600n printer.
    These facts prove that the printer is OK, the connection is OK. However, the 64 bit Windows 7 systems do not print.
    In both of the 64 bit Windows 7 installs I allowed Windows to find and download the HP driver for this printer. Install of the driver was apparently successful. Still no printing. 
    One strange fact: Sometimes when I turn the computer off, the 3600n printer will print the items that had been in the queue before powering down. That is the only time it has printed anything . . . except under OSX on the iMac.
    Does anyone know if there is a basic problem with 64 bit Windows 7 and this printer ?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I just had the same problem with my MacBook Pro using 10.5.5 After trying a number of things, the following worked. (not sure what specifically ... just did this combination)
    1. Had the Apple store Genius Bar folks install the latest HP drivers.
    2. Restart computer
    3. Restart the HP Color LaserJet 3600
    4. Connected the HP printer and MacBook Pro directly into a switch, so the wireless was not an issue (both machines had IP addresses set and computer's was set to DHCP with manual IP).
    5. Instead of using the System Preference printing and fax tool, I started Text Edit, typed something and said "print".
    Print window came up and said "no printer selected"
    6. I clicked on the drop down so it would look for printers.
    7. It found the HP Color LaserJet 3600.
    8. I clicked on the name of the printer and the computer went out and found the driver
    9. I clicked on "Add" and it added the printer.
    10. I tried a couple of test prints in different programs.
    11. I disconnected the hard wired ethernet cables and set the computer to be on the wireless.
    12. I printed a few more test prints in various programs.
    I had previously tried selecting the printer and drivers through the System Preferences to no avail, but doing it this way worked.

  • HP CP-2025DN Color LaserJet Printer (duplex)

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and it does not recognize that my printer has duplex capatbility.  i have turned on in the Advanced tab, print on Backside.  To no avail.  Any help out there?

    I am replying to myself...
    The solution is here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/C7280-windows-7-x64-latest-drivers-13-1...
    To summarise:
    1) Go to "Devices and Printers" in windows 7, right click and select Printer properties
    2) go to device settings and under installable options --> duplex change "not installed" to "installed" and press OK

  • HT204135 OK loaded the apple SW for Mountain lion for my HP 2840 Color Laserjet...nothing happens when I send a simple two word page.  In preferences it shows this printer to be default...I have no other printers on the Mac. Any ideas?

    Attempting to install a HP 2840 Color LaserJet printer on my Mac Pro using Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Go to print a simple word doc with two words...Printer does nothing and stil says READY. The printer is listed in prefernces as default.
    How can I get the printer to respond?

    I have the same Issus.
    Since the latest Printer Driver Update the Printing is very very very Slow. An PDF Dokument with only Text needs about 4 Minutes to print.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215 - Color printing - Page prints yellow background

    Good morning --- I don't believe I have posted to this forum before, so I hope someone can help me solve this issue. 
    My CP1215 color LaserJet -
    printing pref set to color-
    printing a document with colored icons, etc. or color photograph
    Results: the "background" or what should be the white area, is yellow - bright yellow.  
    If I switch printing pref to B/W, I get a black/white document or photo.  Of course, no color.
    I have replaced the yellow toner cartridge (HP product) TWICE, the second one just this morning.
    There are NO error messages.
    Tried running the cleaning tool; disconnect/reconnect, etc.  No luck.
    I gave up trying to solve this issue 2 years ago, and have kept the pref set to black/white with no tech issues.
    Now, however, I have the need to print in color, and I would really like to figure out how to correct this problem.
    This printer is a monster - ~30 lbs or more, and I would rather not have to haul it to a computer shop or ship it.
    If anyone out there has had this problem, please let me know how/if you were able to resolve it.  Many thanks.
    Susan - Threecats

    Hi Threecats
    I understand when you print in color you are getting a yellow background.
    I have included a document for troubleshooting the all yellow background printing.
    Print out a configuration page from Solution eight first. This document  will provide steps for cleaning and calibrating the printer. The Print quality troubleshooting page will identify the print cartridge that is causing the issue.
    Let me know the results when you compare it to the one in the document and if the background printed yellow again. Also the Print quality troubleshooting page results.
    What kind of paper are you using?

  • HP Color Laserjet 2500 printer

    I have a HP 2500 Color laserjet printer that will not print in color. New color cartridges, will do color for a test page, worked fine with Win XP, new HP computer with Win 7 and it will not print in color from the computer. Think I have the right drivers - PCL5 ver 5.1.1.8283 - PCL6 v. 5.1.1.8283 - ver 5.0.3 PCL 5 & 6. This is a great color printer and I just spent a lot of money for new color cartridges.

    Hello Bambi:
    You can ignore those permission repair messages. Everyone gets them, and they are "informational" - to whom, I do not know. FWIW, permission repair is, IMHO, a waste of time (although I do it myself after a software update).
    Try deleting the printer and then reinstalling it.
    Has anything changed before the problem began?
    The "ton" of firewall messages may or may not be relevant.
    Unfortunately, I do not use a wireless network (mine is Ethernet). There is a rather large HP driver update that Apple released a couple of months ago.
    As a further suggestion, you might post your question in the networking forum. I am not (to say the least) expert in connectivity problems, but people there have a lot of expertise.

  • Adobe docs won't print grayscale boxes 15% on HP5550 color laserjet

    HP support says it's an Adobe issue because the printer WILL PRINT 5% grey if you print a pdf from Preview
    • Firmware and drivers have been updated.
    • We can print Word docs with 5% grey boxes but we cannot print INDD, Illustrator or PDFs with 5% grey boxes.
    • We work in INDD 3 and INDD 4.
    • The greys printed fine on our old HP8550N Color laserjet printer.
    Does ANYONE know how to fix this?
    This makes NO sense to me...all of our publications have light grey sidebars that are dropping out when we print.

    My copy of Word is ancient, but as Anne Marie suggests I don't think there is a CMYK or Grayscale space in Word. Also, ID doesn't have a grayscale space, there's RGB, CMYK, and Lab—you can spec 0|0|0|15 CMYK but not 15% grayscale. So you could imitate Word and work with RGB colors in ID, or you could export your PDF to an RGB destination space, which would convert CMYK black values to RGB.

  • HP 2550Ln Color LaserJet issues

    Back at work I recently "inherited" an HP 2550Ln Color LaserJet printer from the previous inhabitant of the cubicle. No docs, no install media. Toner cartridges mostly full, worst case is black @ 35%, which should last me for some 1,000 prints or so. Unfortunately, the USB port gets quirky and locks up after printing a couple of jobs, requiring a power cycle, and the JetDirect card needs reconfiguring to plug to the network and access it via TCP/IP. Oh, and the previous user left it configured in Portuguese.
    As per the manuals from HP's site, I need to get the HP Toolbox for LaserJets in order to diagnose, service and reconfigure. Supposedly available for MacOS X, but since there are no install CD/DVDs, can't get it from there and haven't been able to find it online. HP says that printing support is included as part of MacOS X from Snow Leopard on forward, which is true, since I've been able to get test prints after setting up a USB printer instance. But I still need to reconfigure, figure out why the USB port locks up, and give the print engine a cleaning and recalibration. The support integrated with MacOS X does not include the Toolbox. Only support software I've managed to pull off the HP site is packaged in a PPC installer which obviously won't run on Lion.
    Can anybody who's had to mate a 2550Ln with the current cat and get the printer under management please tell me how they did it?

    I have the same problem. I've done everything. 

  • Color Laser Printer for OSX?

    Hi! I need some advice on a color laser printer that will work with Tiger and Leopard both and also Windows XP. I'm looking for a high quality 25-35 PP/Min printer. I haven't had any luck finding suitable reviews for anything out there. Does anyone have any real world advice? Thanks, Tom

    I have a Hewlett Packard CP2025DN color laserjet printer. It cost about $450 a month or so ago. I've never heard of an HP printer that doesn't work with Windoze anything. I haven't heard of any HP printers that don't work with Tiger or Leopard, either.
    It has a built-in duplexer, and handles up to 8.5x14 paper. It is networkable, you can buy an additional wireless box for them. I use my printer connected via USB to a PPC Leopard machine that has printer sharing enabled (I did that because the PPC is always on anyways as a fax server, email server, voicemail server, and file server). The printer is advertised to be about 21 ppm, as I recall. I don't think that the printer is recommended for heavy duty use.
    Can't speak to the rate of toner consumption, I'm a pretty light-duty user. I think HP toner cartridges run about $100 each.
