HP LaserJet 2605dn latest driver problem/bug

Hi
I just downloaded and installed the latest driver for this machine, upd-pcl6-x64-5.7.0.16448.exe released a few weeks ago. I found a problem and hope someone can verify and fix it later. That is, when I change the "Paper type:" to something other than "Unspecificed", I cannot print double-sided anymore. The step is really easy to reproduce, please let me know if I miss anything.
Thanks
David

  • Laserjet 2605dn color printing problem, Blue/green line on page.

    I have an HP color laserjet 2605dn that has started to print a faint,thin  blue/green line from top to bottom about 3 inches in from the entire right edge of every page. I ran the cleaning cycle with no change. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    I have very similar problem on my 2600n which is printing 2 vertical green lines very close together about 1.5 inches from left edge. All toners are in supply override mode with black toner reading: Estimated Pages Remaining 0
    Color cartridges contain toner with 329 pp remaining according to supply status page.
    Is this problem likely to disappear when toner cartridge(s) are replaced?

  • Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

    I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
    I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
    I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
    I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
    Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
    The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network.  The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS. 
    Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

    Hi, 
    Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
    From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7.  On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
    Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
    Disconnect the printer from the PC.
    Run Revo and see if it finds any  HP Printer Software installed.  If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries.  If you are, just select all and click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once completed, reboot the PC.
    Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
    If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
    Best wishes,

  • Hp LaserJet CM1415fnw major driver problem

    hello everyone,

  • After installing Mavericks I can no longer print to my hp Laserjet 3015 (latest driver is installed) but can print to my Canon Ink Jet.

    Can anyone help me or do I have to go back to Mountain Lion? I also can no longer connect to my external hard drive.

    Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved.  If it used to work, it will again.
    Reboot the printer.   Reboot the router.  On the pad, general, reset, reset network connections. 
    Make sure all the devices are on the same wifi network.   Talk nice to it.

  • HP Laserjet CM2320 MFP driver problem with Outlook 2013

    Hi,
    The problem starts when you want to print from Outlook 2013 ( Office365 flavour ).
    You can print once. Then Outlook and the printspooler crashes.
    In the print qu you find pages NA and no kb for the printvolume.
    Impossible to delete the printjob normaly.
    Only reboot helps to recover printing possibilitys with the exception of Outlook 2013.
    After consulting HP, we tried to prin with PCL 6 an Post Script drivers with changed, advanced, settings.
    This does not help.
    More then one PC faces this problem.
    Do you have an idea to fix this ?
    Best regards
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    It might be that the 'OutlPrnt' is corrupted on your computer. This is the file where Outlook keeps its printing style settings.
    Please try to recover from this by renaming the OutlPrnt file to .old when Outlook is closed and verify the results. You can find the file in %Appdata%/microsoft/outlook.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

    I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Please??? :-)

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.

  • HP Color LaserJet 5550 and Tiger (10.4.11) Driver Problem

    I have recently acquired a Color LaserJet 5550hdn. I have updated all drivers and firmware available from the HP Website (Printer Driver, 5550 firmware and Jetdirect 610n firmware). The printer has been factory reset/cold reset etc. to purge any previous custom settings. I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (933mhz) and Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11). I have made some test prints from both Preview and iPhoto and all have been dark and muddy with respect to colors. I have printed the same images from my wife's PC with HP's PCL 6 Driver for Windows XP and achieve satisfactory results with respect to color (that is to say, without fooling with any color settings in the driver, the image is at least within 10% of the color gamut compared to the screen image). Setting up the printer with the HP Postscript Driver for XP yields similar results as the Mac, dark and muddy colors. So is this a problem with the HP Postscript Driver? Is this a Mac OS X Tiger problem? Do users have color problems with the printer running the Leopard driver? 
    I previously owned a HP Color LaserJet 8550 (utilizing the same HP Driver for Mac OS X that the 5550 uses) and had default images (no fooling with any color settings in the driver) that were acceptable, again within 10% or less of the screen image color gamut.
    I have also downloaded HP's ICC color profiles (CMYK and sRGB) and put them in library/printers/hp/profiles.
    With respect to the driver itself, there are two areas in the print dialogue box which seem to have a bearing on color. One is Colorsync and the other is Color Options. Colorsync has two choices ('Standard' and 'In Printer') and I chose 'In Printer' to I assume bypass any Colorsync Conversion. When 'Standard' is chosen the print summary shows the HP Color LaserJet CMYK profile being used. There seems to be no way of changing the default setting in the Colorsync Utility to HP Color LaserJet sRGB. Not sure if it matters as the output for both 'Standard' and 'In Printer' seem to yield the same results. The options under 'Color Options" in the driver under the 'Show Advanced Options' have choices (Basic, Text, Graphics, Photographs, Advanced) and I have played with these to some extent. Although they seem to have some effect on the image, the print is still dark and muddy with respect to colors.
    On a final note I have tried a 'GutenPrint' driver to see if it would yield different results.....there was not one for the 5550 so I used a driver for the Color LaserJet 5500......it would only print in grayscale....the resulting image did not look very promising even if it had printed in color.
    Insights on any of the above from the community here would be most helpful!
    Thanks,
    -Ray 

    This is an update to my own post above. I downloaded the Mac OS 9 driver (yes OS 9!, but the QuickSilver is Dual Boot) for the Color LaerJet 5550 and printed (no changes to any of the driver settings) the same image (photo) as I used in Mac OS X. The image was still dark but not as poor from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Although I prefer not to use color management, I used the Colorsync tab in the driver and chose to match to Colorsync with a generic sRGB output profile (no other settings were changed in the HP color options tab). The resulting image was +/- 5% within the color gamut of the screen image (yeah!!!) In Tiger the options under the Colorsync tab in the driver are 'Standard' or 'In Device' and regardless of the choice, the print result is the same, very dark and muted colors. There is no option for sRGB and if set to 'Standard' the print summary always shows a CMYK profile being utilized. Given that the HP Color LaserJet 5550 is an sRGB printer as per HP, perhaps that is a problem? I would assume the 'In Device' option would bypass Colorsync (since there seems to be no other way to turn it off) and use sRGB, but that does not seem to make a difference in the image being printed.
    My good success with an OS 9 driver leads me to believe I have a driver problem in Tiger. However, I have no problems with other printers (HP All in One, DesignJet Color Plotter and wide format Epson inkjet....all of which are older) with respect to poor color output. Given this is a current model in the HP line-up and I believe in service during Mac OS X Tiger, it seems hard to fathom other users do/did not experience a problem.
    Again, do Leopard users have a problem with color issues on this printer with default driver settings? Does anyone have driver settings/other insights they could share with respect to Tiger to at least get the print image somewaht close to the screen image? As it stands now, regardless of settings, the printed image is dark with muted colors.
    Thnaks to anyone who can respond, even if it is to say they have no problems in Leopard/Snow Leopard as I am upgrading to a new Mac soon.

So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
    I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?
    Any tips?

  • Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

    Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
    new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
    the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
    since and all features working.

  • Hp laserjet 1018 with windows 7-32 driver problems

    We've used this printer with our new computers for 2 yrs now. The last 4 months, we've had issues with it not printing all of the time, but. Could turn it off and back on and it would work. Now it's not printing at all. I have downloaded driver and utility, it works to print 2 things and then quits again. If I reinstall the driver again, same thing, prints 2, then quits. I have replaced the cable, tried everything. This is my main printer at my front desk (billing, patient receipts, etc), I need thirinter up and running ASAP! Having to reinstall the driver every 15 minutes is not going to work for me!

    Hi,
    Please delete the LaserJet 1018 printer driver from device & printers. Then click on 'print server properties' -> driver tab and delete 1018 driver (if listed).
    then from server properties, go to 'port' tab-> delete printer IP port (in case of network printer)
    download basic host based driver from following URL:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-58503-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    and complete the driver installation.

  • 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.

  • HP Laserjet 2605dn / HP Laserjet 2055dn on Windows 7: sorted printing fails

    Hi,
    I'm using the printers HP Laserjet 2605 dn and HP Laserjet 2055 dn on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, german edition.
    I've installed the newest printer driver HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript x64 Version 5.0.3.
    On both printers I'm not able to do a sorted printing. This must be a driver problem because before the new install of Windows 7 I used a Vista 64bit system and sorted printing worked on both printers.
    Is there anything I can change in Configuration (printing processor in driver or anything other) to get sorted printing working?
    I have installed the latest firmware on the printers.
    I've also tested the printing with the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64 and the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 x64 . Both these drivers even have more problems on windows 7: resolution over 600dpi is not available, sorted printing doesn't work, printing of more than one copy doesn't work.
    Thanks for any help.
    Greetings
