HP Laserjet 2100M not printing with 10.6

Hi,
I've been trying to print a document all evening on my HP Laserjet 2100M with the HP 100 Mbps network module. I've tried it on both my iMac and my MBP, no help there. The printer program is saying that it is sending the job to the printer, but the light does not even blink on the printer.
Any idea?

Hi Andrew, I'm back home!
First I did a Telnet to the printer address and confirmed it had the right settings. All looked perfect to me.
===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===
Firmware Rev. : G.08.49
MAC Address : 00:30:c1:0b:a5:b9
Config By : DHCP
IP Address : 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
Syslog Server : Not Specified
Idle Timeout : 90 Seconds
Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified
Host Name : REPLICATOR
Default Get Cmnty : Enabled
DHCP Config : Enabled
Passwd : Disabled
IPX/SPX : Disabled
DLC/LLC : Enabled
Ethertalk : Enabled
Banner page : Disabled
OK, I reseted the printing system. Then I added my HP LaserJet using the HP Jetdirect - Socket mode (as I always did in preview OS X version). I put the IP address of the printer, let the Queue name empty, Named the printer and the Print Using auto selected correctly HP LaserJet 2100 series. Then I clicked Add. The print dialog tried to "Connect" to the printer for Installable Options. This was taking forever to finished. So I clicked on Configure... and selected the options I knew was there myself.
I tried then printing from Stickies (something simple), it told me the printer was busy. I put it off, then on, and retried and it worked... Try a page from Pages too, working...
Maybe reseting the print system helped, because last week I also put the printer off then on, and the problem stayed there. Tried the same on my MBP, and it worked too! Cannot figure out what I did wrong the first time. Maybe I really needed to print something, and Murphy's Law came in!

HP LaserJet 3015 not printing with 10.5.6

I just upgraded from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 and my HP Laserjet does not print. I removed it and added it back but when I try to print it always gives me the following error when the printer queue is trying to connect:
Printer busy (status:0xe00002e9)
Please help.

<Is this because i just upgraded to 10.5.6? </i>
No, probably not. I have no problems printing to my 3015 from 10.5.6.
Is apple going to do something about this?
Doubtful since it's almost certainly not Apple's problem, per se. Make sure you have the latest printer update, HP Printer Update 1.1.1, which should appear in Software Update if you haven't installed it and will probably appear in the "Installed Updates" pane of the Software Update preference. And if course if it's a networked printer you'll want to ping it to make sure that your system is actually reaching the printer.
If you continue to have problems, you'll probably want to take it up with your IT people or with HP. But you can keep an eye on this thread and see if suggestions to the OP would apply in your case as well.

HP Laserjet 2100m endless printing with no print job loaded

I sent a print job to the wrong printer. Then I deleted that print job and re-send the print job to the HP Laserjet 2100m. It prints a line of garbage at the top of the page and feeds it through, then it continues doing that endlessly. I've even rebooted the PC, but whenever I turn on the printer it continunes just as before. There isn't even a print job in the que. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

Hi everyone.
Today I bought new printer. I wanted instal this printer on my old pc with Win xp but during installation appears window with warning " software for this device: "printer" has not passed compatibility testing with windows xp system". Nonetheless installation is going to end. After all I can only copy and scan. When I try print something, it looks as if the print process is working, nothing happens and there isn't list of not printed items. I have installed printer on my laptops with Win 7 and Win 8.1 and everything is fine.
Sorry for my grammatical mistakes. I have to translate this from polish
I hope someone can help me solve this issue. A lost all day to find any solutions ;/

Hi @Karol_szc ,
I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer on the Windows XP computer. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
I have provided a document to check your system to make sure if does meet the system requirements.

Check your version of .Netframeworks. How to Check Which Version of Microsoft .NET Framework is Installed in Windows?
Run the Windows updates to get the most up to date one installed.
What version of Internet Explorer are you using?
IE is integrated into Windows and is part of the Windows updates.
I suspect you need IE 7 at least. I believe this is because HP software piggy backs from Internet Explorer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Happy New Years!

HP LASERJET P3005N NOT PRINTING WITH MANUAL SETTINGS

We have a subnet for our PCs and Thin Clients and we have a subnet for our printers. The subnet for our PCs and Thin Clients is setup for DHCP service while the subnet for our printers is setup for static addressing. The HP Laserjet P3005n printer is able to operate effeciently in DHCP mode; it picks up an ip and I'm able to print to it, ping it, etc. However, it doesn't communicate with the network when I manually configure an address to it; I'm not able to print to it, ping it, etc. It was working find with the original settings (static ip address) on a Friday then the problem started when the office opened back up on that following Monday. I've tried different cables, assigning the printer's address to a different printer, different ports, and even installed a JetDirect card into it and it still doesn't fix the issue.....PLEASE HELP!

<Is this because i just upgraded to 10.5.6? </i>
No, probably not. I have no problems printing to my 3015 from 10.5.6.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
Printer not responding
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
Thanks in advance.

That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?

Laserjet 2600n not printing black on one side of page. already cleaned the laser/scanner assembly.

laserjet 2600n not printing black on one side of page. already cleaned the laser/scanner assembly. i've cleaned the assembly a few times beofre to restor the colors as the printer is in a semi-dusti environment. after cleaning the printer was fine, then about a week later, the black - and only the black - stopped printing on the right side of the page. the text is straight across left to right then starts to waver and then then stops altogether. i tried a different black toner cartidge and the problem remains.

> so this is strictly a hardware issue as no drivers are involved. Yup. > Still prints all black. Ok its not the controller. > Still prints all black. Ok its not the fuser. > its still prints all black. OK its not the laser itself > it still prints all black. Not that part either. > What else left is there? Formatter board hasnt been mentioned. Something is sending a command to the printer that is telling it to open up the doors and charge the entire page. Normally the laser is responsible for charging the media. As the media passes over the toner doors it atracts toner particles. Then as the paper continues it rolls past the fuser where heat melts the particles into permanent place. > The power supply board maybe? Perhaps but not likely. If you have a spare you could try it but power supply problems usually result with the machine unable to boot or print correctly, not printing too much as you have described here. > Is there another part you would reccomend I look at?
You could try the old Halfway test just to verify that the problem is coming from teh laser/toner part of the printer. http://www.printertechs.com/printer-troubleshooting/halfway-test Your paper may have somehow gotten a staic charge that opposes the charge of the toner, thus auto attracting all particles in range as it passes over the toner doors. Might want to grab a fresh ream of paper to test and rule somethign crazy like that out. Not very many options left after that.

Thanks for the follow up.
Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

Officejet Pro 8500A is not printing with Yellow cartridge. Full cartridge and good health ...

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8500 which is not printing with the Yellow cartridge. Printing with the Cyan, Magenta, and Black cartridges is fine. Diagnostics show all cartridges properly installed and having adequate ink supplies.I replaced the Yellow cartridge with a brand new XL cart, but to no avail. I cleaned the orifice with Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, thinking perhaps there was some dried ink or an impurity there. The problem still exists.There are no error messages, either via software or at the printer itself. The printer is out of warranty (imagine that!).I have used HP products for well over 15 years, partly because HP support has been historically excellent. After reading some of the posts on these forums, it seems that HP has allowed their support quality to diminish - significantly. I hope that is not the case in real life.Any ideas out there?

I am having same problem. OfficeJet Pro 8500A Premium. Not printing with Yellow. First replaced Yellow cartridge with new, then spoke with HP Support yesterday and was told that the Black and Yellow Printhead must need to be replaced, at a cost of $49. New Printhead arrived today, inserted and still having same issue with YELLOW! So, for the cost of a new Multi-Pack of print cartridges (which had the Yellow I used to replace the low ink), and the new Printhead, I could have purchased a NEW CANNON PRINTER. I have used HP Products for over 20 years - both professionally (HP Plotters) and at home (always HP Printers, Scanners, Multi-devices, etc. I am VERY frustrated!

HP Laserjet 2100M not on printer list

I have a HP Laserjet 2100M and have been trying to get it to work with my Macbook, freshly running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. The printer worked fine with OS 10.4.11 before I added Snow Leopard (it was a clean install, I had a HD failure and started out with a new HD). The 2100M is listed as one of the printers supported by HP printer driver package 2.3. I downloaded this package. However, when I pull up the Add Printer box, no HP printers are offered. If I go to the Print & Fax queue, the only two printers listed are the ones I have successfully added previously (an HP 3900 & Epson R1800). No other HP printers are offered. Based on what I am reading in previous forum questions, it sounds like the HP 2100M, although getting dated, should still work with OS 10.6. The printer is in excellent condition and I would really like to continue using it if at all possible. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to access the available drivers in HP printer driver package? Although the installation was slow (the last element takes 2-3 minutes), my computer said that it was installed successfully.
The printer is connected by ethernet. I should note, since I generally don't know a lot about these things, I did try to reinstall the earlier driver before I understood I did not need to do this. I don't know if that earlier attempt messed something up or not.

I emptied the HP folder in the library (as the next respondent suggested) and reloaded the driver package. That did not do it. Another Forum discussion I located in December seemed to indicate that the IP number might be necessary but I was trying to avoid that. I have made some efforts to locate the IP address for the printer without luck. Any ideas how I can acquire it? I have printed the test page and the 2nd test page (pressing go and cancel buttons at the same time) but no obvious IP number appears. There are PCL, PCLXL, and PS numbers listed under Installed Personalities and Options. I thought these might represent IP numbers but the format is different (19980828 under PS for example). This could be written 199.8.0.828 which looks more like an IP format but as soon as I get the 199 down (at least using the PS number), the computer tells me this is an invalid HP IP combination and that I am using third party software and it should not be. I have only used HP software. My suspicion is that the IP number is not on this page.
Another possibility: I noticed that in the HP Printer folder (within the Library folder) that the Laserjet folder only has a file titled hplastjetzjs.bundle in it. Is this file supposed to be expanded?

H-P Laserjet 4L printer will not print with Windows 7 operating system. Need help

I have an H-P Laserjet 4L printer that worked fine with a Dell PC and Windows XP. But, it no longer worked when the PC was updated to Windows7. I was advised to buy an adapter that would accept the H-P plug and connect to the PC by means of a USB port. I did that, but the H-P still will not print. Anyone know what to do about this problem?

HP Laserjet 2100M not connecting

I recently connected an HP Laserjet 2100M to my iMac (running OS X 10.6.8) and was able to make it work by directly connecting the two via ethernet cable. It took a while to get it working, after finally finding the right driver and IP address.
I only have one ethernet port, and I would prefer to have my router connected to it because my wireless connection has been slow recently. Therefore, I disconnected the printer from the computer and plugged it into my router (Linksys s3500). Internet connection works better but now the printer won't print. The computer recognizes it, saying it's idle, but it won't connect when I want to print something.
I've tried deleting the printer from System Preferences and re-adding it, and that didn't work. I can't enter the printer's IP address in the Network preferences because then it won't recognize the router's IP address.
I'm using driver version 5.3.0 (HP Laserjet 2100 series). This is what worked when I had the printer directly connected to the computer.
How can I get the printer to work through the router?

I emptied the HP folder in the library (as the next respondent suggested) and reloaded the driver package. That did not do it. Another Forum discussion I located in December seemed to indicate that the IP number might be necessary but I was trying to avoid that.
