HP laserjet 1606dn

Our office has three of the hp laserjet 1606dn printers. I took my laptop and plugged in a different 1606dn than what I normally use. It won't print anything. Doesn't recognize the printer. Do I have to load each 1606dn in my laptop?

Hi @vrebosch,
I see by your post that you have connected a different Laserjet P1606dn printer to your laptop and are unable to print.
I can help you with this.
When you connect the same printer to the computer, it will create another icon for the printer in your printer's window on the computer. It will show the Laserjet P1606dn and probably a Laserjet P1606dn copy 2. You would just select the proper printer that you are connected to. The printer software is already installed and it should automatically add the printer driver.
From the application, go to File, Print, highlight the correct printer, select print.
You can also go into the printer's window and set the new printer icon to the default printer that you are now connected to. Change your default printer.
If the issue persists, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Here is a document for checking the printer driver in the device manager to see if there is any conflicts and checking the connections. 'Device setup failed to complete' or 'Unknown device' Message Displays in Windows during USB Install... Disregard the title.
Is the connection you are using a USB cable?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!

Best duplexed Business mono laserjet, 1606dn or other?

I am looking to replace Laserjet 1320s that performed well 5 days a week for 6-8 years. I really like the specs of the 1606dn, but my bosses are concerned that this unit is not heavy duty enough for business use. Is there a business model with the 1606dn's speed and short time to print? The only negatives I can see from various posts is that there may have been some early manufacturing quality control issues from posts six months ago, the small 250 sheet paper tray, and the lack of quality graphics (not critical for our use).
The features I need are duplexing, networking is nice, and ability to print envelopes as this is used in accounts payables and receivables with many envelopes printed. I was impressed by the time to print and speed of this really bargain unit (currently $160 including shipping).
Is this unit heavy duty enough to handle day-to-day accounting tasks for an individual (not group requirements, the networking is nice for annual inventory printouts and reports from remote locations to a duplexed printer)?
Thanks for any input about the 1606dn or any other suggested current printers.

HP Laserjet 1606dn and an HP Officejet Pro 8500

Both of these printers have USB and Ethernet networking available. I need to hook both of them up to USB AND ethernet simultaneously. My question is are both ports simultaneously active(i.e. can I hook one computer to the printer with USB and let everyone else print to it over the network)? Thanks.

Yes you may hook them both up simultaneously. One connection via usb and then everyone else connected via ethernet on your network. Although hooking them all up via Ethernet would be a better choice.
Thanks!

Printer : Laserjet 1606dn

Lately when printing this annoying dialog box "Manually Feed Media" appears even when I "Auto Select" in the Paper/Quality tab under Preferences. I do not recall making any chages that would cause the dialog box to appear. It is annyoing to have to press the Arrow key on the printer to print.
This question was solved.

Check your tray (paper source) setting, may be you selected the feed slot instead of the tray, so it's waiting for you to feed the paper. The tray (paper source) is a different setting than the paper type/print quality settings.

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

HP Printer 1606DN Wont print on Network

I have installed an HP Laserjet 1606DN on my network but can not print to it. I can ping and get to the web interface but no printing.
If I put the printer on to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
Any suggestions?

Hi paulplatyp
I understand you can access the embedded web server for the printer but you can't print but when the printer is connected to a small switch with a laptop the printer works.
The printer should be connected with a ethernet cable and going directly into a router. (not a switch)
Make sure the printer isn't in a error state.
Print off a new configuration page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02005918&lc=en&product=4110410&tmp...
Turn off any firewalls and antivirus software temporarily to test the printer.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor to fix common printing and scanning
problems.

Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What is the IP Address?
What network setup do you have? (Modem/router/2 routers/booster/airport/switch)
What brand are they?
How many devices are already setup on the router? (computers, printers, ipads)
What operating system are you using?

Hi,
Please try the following.
1. Open an internet browser type printer's IP address.
2. Should bring you to the printer's status page.
3. Select the networking tab at the top.
4. Left hand side select IPv4 under wireless.
5. Under DNS address Configuration select Manual DNS Server.
6. For Preferred enter 8.8.8.8
7. For Alternate enter 8.8.4.4
8. Select apply. You might get a warning saying this could interrupt connection that's fine.
9. Turn printer off for about 30 seconds then try again.

How do I get back into the HP Smart install that I started but couldn't finish?

I have HP LaserJet 1606dn with Windows XP. I am having trouble with printer and downloaded the HP Smart install for the wireless. I did all the steps and when it came to entering the pin number, I was unable to minimize that screen in order to retrieve the pin number to use. I ended up losing the page entirely. How do I finish up with the registration process so that my printer will start working?
This question was solved.

Hi wcatty,
The Laserjet 1606dn doesn't support wireless connectivity. This printer can be connected to your router using an Ethernet cable or using a USB cable. To initiate the Smart install all you need to do is plug in the USB cable, and then when you get to the connectivity screen this is where you would select network connection. Follow the steps in the document below to install to your network using an Ethernet cable.

IP config stuck on manual after factory reset

I have several HP laserjet 1606dn's. They have been configured for static IP's and set to manual.
We have had reason to reset several, and now they have no IP, and will not change over to DHCP. we have tried factory resetting them and also updated the firmware.
Need some help.
thanks,

Here is an informational video on how to set that up. Once the printer is on the network you should be easily able to set a static IP from another computer on the network by accessing the embedded web server (EWS).

Job appears in print queue but doesn't print

Here's the setup:
HP Laserjet 1606dn connected via USB to XP computer. From this computer printer works fine. Printer is shared on the network.
On another XP machine on the network, ran Add Printer, printer was detected and installed and everything works fine.
On a Vista computer on the network, ran Add Printer. Printer was detected, everything installed apparently correctly.
When I print a test page from the Vista machine, the job appears in the print queue on the XP machine. It stays there for about 60 seconds. The status is "printing". The job then disappears and nothing prints.
Any ideas about what to try next?

Take a look at these instructions from eHow, and let me know if they fix the problem for you. (Generally, I just turn my printer off and back on, and that does the trick.)

Remember the HP 4000?... What's the current bullet proof printer?

If you don't mind a small cartridge, the HP LaserJet 1606dn is really good. Otherwise, the HP Color LaserJet CP 4025 is amazing. We use 2 of these in a library for patrons in a pay-per-page environment. They do B&W prints with the black toner only, so they are economical for monochrome. We have in the neighborhood of 200k to 250k copies on each of them over the last 4 years, and they are still going strong.

Remember these bad boys, HP 4000, who were just warming up after working over a decade and more the a half million prints. Ever compatible vendor had a cartridge for them too making them one of the most cost effective reliable printers to ever grace the IT landscape.
What is the current bullet proof printer? All I need in monochromatic and a usb cable all the rest is bells and whistles.

Unable to connect HP Laserjet Professional 1606dn for eprint

I have a HP Laserjet P1606dn. It is hardwired to my router, which is connected to Time Warner Cable Business Class service. I am able to get to my printer settings through my browser. When I go to the HP Web Services tab, I within the Web Services Setup tab, I click the "Enable" button to Set up Eprint. I get an error message that says, "Connection error. Check internet connection."
I do not have either box checked in the "Proxy Settings" tab. I even disabled by McAfee firewall and entered www.hp.com as authorized in the browser protection services in McAfee. I am running on Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1.

Hi@ALL!
Have the same trouble as topicstarter.
I use p1606dn trough ASUS router on windows 8.
I download new drivers, firmwares that says "firmware is up to date" and "power cycle and try again".
Nothing helps.
I still cant put eprint service on EWS ON.
Now i can use only airprint service, but i nedd eprint too.
Thank you!
