Color laserjet 2025 offline to online

I use my 2025 infrequently, so I turn it off after each use. A few days later, when I turn it on to use it, the computer thinks it is still offline. Is there any way to take the printer from offline to online short of rebooting my computer?

HP Color LaserJet 2605dn going offline for no apparent reason. Need help!

There are four of us with these printers in our finance department. Two PC's are running Windows Vista and two Windows 7. The printers are networked but installed locally on each PC. Routinely all of these printers will go offline at the same time and there seems to be nothing that helps. Our IT's answer is to buy four new printers but these printers work great when they're working. There has to be a solution to this mystery out there somewhere. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi JThorne,
The HP Color LaserJet 2605dn is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
Here is the link to the Commercial Laserjet board:

Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it. When I try add the printer I get this message:
Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
Thanks!

The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
Print & Scan
IP
Provide printer static IP address
Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
Add
Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

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.

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.

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.

HP Color LaserJet 2605dn prefers Macs over PCs!

I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn on my home network, with two Macs (G5, MacBook) and two PCs running Windows XP Pro. I used Bonjour to set up the LaserJet on the Windows machines. The printer has been working well for the past 4 months until just this past week, when the Windows machines just stopped printing. In the system tray a printer icon appears with a red question mark and a bubble that says "This document failed to print" along with a few more details.
I've tried the usual (power off and on printer, power cycle DSL modem/router, uninstalling the printers and reinstalling) without success. I've searched the Microsoft and HP forums. In short, I've spent a few hours troubleshooting. The funny thing is that the Macs print fine. My kludge/fix is to set up the G5 to "share" the LaserJet and when I create a new printer on the Windows machines using that ("LaserJet 2605 @ G5") it works.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this weirdness.

I am so glad it helped. I found it while trying to figure out why my Vista box will only print 2/3 of a page then it locks up hopelessly. I managed to finally get my XP box to print today with help from the forums too! If you come across anything about my Vista problem please look for that item and post. I'd really appreciate it!

Making offline photos online again...

In PSE7, I am trying to move offline photos back online on a larger disk. I've searched the forums and can't find advice that actually works. Any help will be appreciated. Some posting said that I can put the disk holding the offline photos online again and it should just work but the drive letter of the has to be THE SAME as it was when the photos were moved offline. But, is there a way to determine what drive letter PSE thinks this is supposed to be?
Leif Pederson

1. Is the drive a USB flash drive (thumb drive) or an external USB hard drive?
2. When you connect the drive, is its contents accessible in Windows Explorer? Can you see the offline photos on that drive in Explorer? If you cant, then the problem is with the drive or its contents, and dont follow the rest of thes steps.
3. In PSE, select one of the offline photos. Right-click the photo and select Show Properties. In the Properties General pane, what is the exact path of the photo shown next to the yellow folder icon? (If you cant find the offline photos in you catalog, dont follow the rest of these steps.)
4. Leave the drive connected.
5. Download "psedbtool" from here:
http://johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#_Downloading,_Installing,_and
and follow steps 1 4. This creates the file output.log in the same folder where you extracted psedbtool post its contents here. This will list all the drives that are recorded in PSEs catalog along with all the drives currently connected to your computer.
With this information, we should be able to determine whats going on with your offline files. If youre not comfortable posting that information here (its not really useful to anyone else), click on my name above and email it to me.

Hi, Using MAC OSX 10.6.8 and have intermittent issues with receiving new emails - sending is OK. I've tried the workarounds (take offline & take online), quitting mail etc - no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm using MAC OSX 10.6.8 and have intermittent issues with receiving new emails - sending is OK. I've tried the workarounds (take offline & take online), quitting mail etc - no luck. Have cleared space, checked Window - Doctor and server has green light. Mail Activity shows 47 emails waiting to download, iPad and iPhone download them all OK - no extra big files stopping the download either. In the past, quitting mail has worked, but not today... Any suggestions?

Offline and Online Procedure

Hi,
I am new in OC, can any body tell me What is difference in Offline and Online Procedure and how we create it .

Hi Daniel,
Now that your O/S is working fine. You will have to install your SAP system in the installation screen choose hom sys copy or db-backup, native method.
Then once installed. Restore either your offline backup or your online backup. If you are using a offline backup to restore you can bring up the sap system directly after the restore.
If you are using an online backup you will also have to apply the sap logs before you can bring up your database.
For the restoration procedure you can use both SQL Query or you can do it via the SQL Server enterprise manager.
For hom sys copy guides - check the url http://service.sap.com/systemcopy
This will work. Please award points if useful.
Thanks, Dibya

Offline to online workflow in premiere pro

Can anyone tell me how to do an offline to online workflow in premiere pro similar to final cut pro 7? See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xzOqmQq7bo

Let me know if this makes sense.
Not at all, I'm afraid. By that I mean I understand the process you describe, but not your desire to do it.
You can never get better than the original footage, so transcoding to ProRes after editing makes no sense at all. One might do that before editing if their computer couldn't handle the native media, but...you've already done the editing.
Using Direct Link to SpeedGrade, you can easily work with the original media. This is the faster, easier work flow, and will produce identical end results.

Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help. I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7. When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas. So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
I am ready to throw this out the window. I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha. Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically. I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
Thanks in advance.

Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows: go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.
