Hp laserjet 2605 stop working

Hi all... After one of latest upgrades (I don't know wich exactly), I'm unable to print with my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, as a network printer. I tryed to reinstall hplip but nothing. I tryed to remove the printer (I use only cups web interface to admin printers) and add a new printer. All fine, but when I clic on printer model and "add printer" button receive this error: "Unable to copy PPD file!", and printer don't add.
Edit: Tryed with success to add printer with a separate ppd file (extracting from cups folder), but I don't be able to set options of the printer; the cups error is: "Error: Missing value string"
Cups version 1.3.8
Hplip version 2.8.2-2
Thanks in advance for your help.
Silvio.

Laserjet p1505 stopped working

I have a laserjet p1505 that stopped working on my pc (window vista ultimate, 32 bit). When I check the printer queue, it shows the document is waiting to print, but nothing happens.
I checked and switched the usb and connections, deleted and reinstalled the drivers. Eventually (and because it had to be done anyway), I reformatted my hard drive and once again reinstalled the software from scratch. Again, the same problem. Interestingly, when I connect my laptop (same operating system) directly to the printer, it works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kathy

I would like to clarify that you have 2 computer, the same OS, one is PC and another is the laptop, you installed the same driver on both of them, via the same kind of connection - USB connection, but PC doesn't work,, and the laptop works. Is it the problem you are facing now? If it is the case, I suspect that issue is related to your PC itself.
To help your diagnostic this issue, I suggest that you can install the PDU (printing diagnostic utility) on your PC to do some troubleshooting. You can get the tool from P1505's product page:

Hope it helps.

My HP Laserjet 1200 stopped working I have downloaded and installed the pcl5 x64 5.3.1 driver.

I have run the troubleshooting several times and there are no issues found, yet every time I try to print
I get Error in the print que. Anyone know of a way to actually see the error message?
This was the default printer for this laptop and it has worked fine for years then today it just stopped.

HP laserjet 5100tn stopped working - networked

I have a LJ5100tn and for some reason it just quit working. It is installed in our small network. I deleted the printer and reinstalled the drivers and I still get nothing. When I go to add a printer and browse for networked printers the server sees it there but when I go to print a test page I get nothing. I tried to power cycle the printer and nothing. I power cycled the server and get nothing. Any ideas where to go from here?
thanks

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni STOPPED WORKING!

Will the print driver for HP Color LaserJet CP151ni be included with the MAC OS X 10.6 updates anytime soon? I just bought this printer two months and what a waste if it will not be supported by the updated OS. Really disappointed! Need to print....!

Never mind. Just realized that it was a network issue. Was able to use the included driver with the 10.6 OS (CP1510 series)

HP LaserJet 1320 stopped working with Mac

Hi @Lize2 ,
I see that you are having issues installing the printer, the installer stops working. Thanks for providing that detailed information. I would like to help you out today.
It sounds like something is blocking the software from installing, since just the driver are being installed.
Disconnect the USB cable, run the uninstall from the CD.
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Do a msconfig to turn off any startup programs that might be interfering with the installation.
Click on Start, in the search box type in Run, enter, then type in Msconfig, click OK.
Click the Services tab. Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box. Click Disable All, and then click OK.
Then click on the Start Up tab at the top. Click on disable all.
Reboot the computer.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software and Real Time Scanning. Especially if you are using Mcafee.
Then run the installation again. Right click on the install and select Run as Administrator.
Test the printer again.
Then go back into msconfig and Enable the All Microsoft Services and Enable All on the Start Up tab. Turn the Antivirus software back on again and the Real Time Scanning.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP document feeder stopped working

The document feeder stopped working. It clicks when trying to feed and comes up with the error Document Feeder Mispick, reload. I cleaned the feed rollers as per the HP video, no change. Is this something I can easily fix myself (I can open screws and lubricate parts if necessary)? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi @Solray,

There are two guides available that you can follow:

HP printer has stopped working - Laserjet p1006

I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?
Update:
The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions

Really Thanks God
i Found solution of this problem Randomly only by praying
The solution
Connect The p1005 printer to a pc have windows 7 and print a page with it and get the cable connected to windows 8 after that and go to control panel > hardware and sounds > Device and printer > hp laser jet p1005 Right click > Printer properties > ports > uncheck bidirectional support then press ok and print ,, it works
Note : after doing the pervious steps if u turned the printer off u will need to connect it to windows 7 pc again and print and connect it to windows 8 it will work without the pervious steps //
it seems like if windows 7 gives it information that is reseted after turn it off
we wish windows 8 to solve this problem nearly

Laserjet pro 400 color MFP m475dw scanner stopped working in windows 8.1. Please help!

updated my laptop to windows 8.1 and the hp scanning software stopped working. It would not find the printer even though i could print from it. I uninstalled the entire software suite, removed all traces of the printer from contol pannel and then proceeded to download the 8.1 64 bit version of the full solution suite. Tried to run it and the program gets to about 80%, says a problem occurred while preparing to install software to your system and tells me to restart computer and try again.
Tried restart, no go. then tried to load just the basic print and scan and same problem. Restarted, tried again and nothing. then i turned off firewall and antivirus. did prior steps and nothing. I can manually install the printer through control pannel but I cant get the HP software to load at all. plum out of ideas and of course HP wants to charge me to troubleshoot a year old printer but cant guarantee it will work. Lovely.... Any help is appreciated.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

Printer Software Installer has stopped working

Product: HP Laser Jet M1005 MFP
OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
Notebook ACER , Aspire 5349, Intel Celeron CPU B800 @ 1.50 GHz
(new notebook, old printer - printer worked well on Windows XP)
I downloaded driver ljM1005-HB-pnp-x64-en. Driver had been extracted and setup started.
Installation started and after some initialization (~10 sec) it kept writing:
Preinstalling the driver files... or Copying files to hard drive... (switching approx. once per second) after a while (~ 20 sec)
Printer Software Installer has stopped working. Windows tried to find solution but did not find anything.
I TRIED ALREADY EVERYTHING. I used patch for AMD processors (of course, did not work); I have Windows installer up to date; I disabled Internet Explorer 9.0 (I cannot uninstall and iether can I step back to IE 8.0 since notebook is brand new); There is no windows driver preinstalled for this printer and there is no similar driver working.
Driver cannot be installed and printer does not work.
Please, help.

Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.6 HP Colour Laserjet 2605 no longer connects?

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.6. My HP Colour Laserjet 2605 no longer works. If I try to print, it says it is offline. I have tried removing and re-adding it. It no longer shows up in Bonjour - or rather it occasionally does, for about 1 second, before disappearing. I have repeatedly reset the printing system, rebooted and re-added. No joy. I have tried adding the printer via the IP address. It never finds it. This is a printer that worked perfectly just before I upgraded from 10.5, and continues to work perfectly via my Windows PC on the same network. I notice there are several similar problems on this forum with 10.6.6 and HP printers - can anyone help?

Have you updated to the most recent drivers using Software Update?
