This says "Solved" but the given link in now dead:HP Color LaserJet 2605 Printer Firmware Update Utility (ver 20071108)
Is there a real solution to this bad firmware? I'm a teacher and this printer was purchased with bond money to enable students to produce quality work. I was able to use it ONE time before it quit because of this firmware. Can someone please help the children (me too)?

Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print! I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12. I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version. It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened." I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck. Any other ideas?

I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

HP 4600n Color Laser Jet

When powering up the HP 4600n color laser jet printer, it stops at 64mb************* What does this mean

It sounds like it may be an issue with the memory module, have you tried doing a hard reset on the printer ?
Thanks!

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 Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

Good Afternoon,
I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue. I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches. On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.
I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

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?

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=...

My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

Hi,
If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.

Hi Clark
There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up.
From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

Mac Lion OS print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & business inkjet 2200

I just brought a Macbook Air (13in) with the new OS Lion. I however have a HP Color Laserjet 1600 and Business Inkjet 2200 that I love, but can't find a printer driver for either. So, my questions are, does anyone know if:
1) there is going to be a mac lion os print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & Business Inkjet 2200; or
2) is there another way to print to them (i.e., the 2200 uses HPA instead of PS and the 1600 uses PCL)?

Any suggestions re correct driver for windows 7 and HP 4600dn?

My Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color - will not print ... WILL let me fax...

My Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw color - will not print ... will let me fax... then it goes to a screen like it is thinking ....the screen shows HP.... enerystar.... and a white bar on the bottom ...then it "initializing" and acts like it wants to print something. Help

Does the printer ever come to "ready" or Home screen? If it does not then i would recommend calling support and they may be able to help you with restoring the device to factory settings. If this is constantly occuring every time you boot you may want to try upgrading the fw to the latest version. Also if it is just showing "Calibrating" very frequently in the Embedded WebServer (EWS), navigate to IP if you have it, in the "System" , "Print quality", you can can change the calibration timers and see if that helps.

Color Laser Jet 5500dn Leaves Line on Every Print

1. Product Name and Number - HP Color Laser Jet 5500dn
2. Operating System installed - NA, But Mac OSX Lion
3. Error message (if any) - NA
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred - None
Hi Everyone,
Every time we print from the printer we get a faint line across the headed of the page about one inch from the top. The line appears even when we "print" a blank page. The line appease on both sides of the page when printing single or double sided. It seems to fade when we print a lot of pages. We have changed the toner and cleaned the Fuser Input.
Any help would be great!
Thanks so much,

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:

So Apple can provide its driver software.

Hp 4620 office jet print problem

After replacing black inkjet cartridge, will not print anything. Color catridges are empty. Only want to print in black.

Hi @gstrate
Some printers, such as the 4620, will not print at all if one of the cartridges are depleted. If you run out of color and keep printing black only, it will cause problems with the printhead, thus the printer stops allowing you to print to protect itself.
If you do not have any depleted cartridges and still can not print with the black cartridges, please complete all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, If the issue persists, I would suggest calling HP Phone Support regardless of whether it is in or out of warranty as you may require a replacement printer.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Please let me know the outcome of your call to HP.
Just a thought: You can change your print settings to fast draft, or grayscale, this would allow less ink to be laid on the page and help to save ink.
