Unable to add HP Laserjet 4250 printer to my network

I've obtained an HP LaserJet 4250 printer to add to my home network. Plugged in the network cable, came up as an option on my "add printer" list. Clicked, was recognized, added to menu. When I try to print, item hangs in the print que and nothing happens. Printing out settings page from the printer, it appears the printer has an IP address not on my network! How to change the address. BTW, how do I find a list of IP addresses assigned by by Airport Extreme? It no longer seems to be an option in Airport Utility (v6.2)!
Using Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.3), iMac, Airport Extreme/Time Machine connected to Netgear ProSafe Gigabit switch.

Download the latest Driver and install it could solve the problem.

I did a quick search and came across this. Although it is for a 432, hopefully this imformation helps as canon printers are assembled relatively simular.

HP LaserJet 4250 Printer problem

A baffling problem:
Our building has 2 floors. This network printer resides on the 2nd floor. It is shared via the network and used the HP Universal PCL 6 (v.5.3) driver at first and then I switched it to the Universal PCL 5 (v.5.3) driver. Both produced the same error message for the people on one side of the 2nd floor, and people on the other side print fine.
The error is:
PCL XL error
Subsysten: Kernel
Error: MissingAttribute
Operator: SetHalftoneMethod
Position: 5
Why would it work for some folks and not others? Everyone is running 32 bit versions of Windows XP or 7, doesn't matter because both OS's are producing the same error for the folks on the one side of the 2nd floor. Their IP addresses run the gamut between our 3 subnets so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
Any ideas?

Problem solved.
I upgraded the printer's firmware which resolved the issue.
Thanks anyway! :-)

HP Laserjet 4250 - While Printing PDFs with Watermark, Prints images as scrambled

Hi,
I am using HP Laserjet 4250 printer. While Printing PDFs with Watermark, the printer prints images as scrambled. It prints the part of the image as scrambled which is overlapped by the Watermark. The other part of the image is printed fine. When seen on the screen, it shows up the image with the watermark properly. Could you please suggest how to arrive at a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Sebastian43
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet 6L is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.

LaserJet 4250

We have a moved an HP LaserJet 4250 printer from one office to another, but now we can't get excel files to print with content inside the grid. All of the boxes show up perfectly, with info in the correct boxes in the screen print, but once it is on paper, the content prints anywhere except in the boxes. This wasn't a problem before the move and connecting to differeent computers. Any ideas?

I hope you are doing well and welcome to the community

HP c7180 Printer - Black prints blurry but color is okay

Aloha,
I have an HP c7180 printer and have recently had a problem where the black cartridge prints blurry and with lines through the print, but the color prints fine. I tried cleaning the printhead and aligning the printer, but these did not work. I also bought a brand new HP 02 black printer cartridge put the problem still exists. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about fixing? It's my last ditch effort before tossing the thing :-)
Thanks for your help!

I am interested if you find out what is causing this, as I have the same situation. One or two lines are fuzzy in the black, and it appears the top half is offset from the bottom half on only two lines of text in the entire page.

IP Printing and HP LaserJet 4250

I'm having difficulties to print to HP LaserJet 4250 via LPD protocol. Each and every time I try to print, the print queue stops saying "Jobs stopped".
If I tail CUPS error log I see this:
I [25/Oct/2006:15:00:29 +0300] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftops (PID 5646) for job 2.
I [25/Oct/2006:15:00:29 +0300] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops (PID 5647) for job 2.
I [25/Oct/2006:15:00:29 +0300] Started filter /Library/Printers/hp/filter/hppostprocessing (PID 5648) for job 2.
I [25/Oct/2006:15:00:29 +0300] Started backend /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd (PID 5649) for job 2.

I [25/Oct/2006:15:00:30 +0300] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more.
I have deleted the printer and set it up again on Printer Setup Utility and downloaded new drivers from HP web site. It just doesn't work. Printing to old HP 2100 with LPD works fine so looks like Mac OS X does not like HP 4250 printer. Setting LogLevel to "debug" on CUPS does not offer any clues. What gives?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) HP LaserJet 4250

Yes I have, always the same error - please look at my first post.
I'm not sure if this is related to upgrade to 10.4.8, I updated from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 at the same time the printed was switched to LaserJet 4250. To find out, I'm planning to grab a vacant Mac mini and test with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and then try 10.4.
A little Googling releaved the same error "PID XXXXX stopped with status 1!" shows that people have had the same problem with some Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu) - even with inkjet printers. Unfortunately the CUPS logs are not verbose enough to give details about what goes wrong. Apple documentatiion does not indicate CUPS was changed with 10.4.8 Update.
On the other hand, I discoved all the other printers on the server use WinPrint as printing engine but HP 4250 used HPZPP3zw. Default data type was RAW with both engines. But changing it to WinPrint had no effect.

HP LaserJet 4250 will not print

I have an HP Laserjet 4250 that will not print from any of the 15 stations it is set up to. I send print jobs to it, and I have to power the cycle the printer in order for it to print. I have deleted and re-added the printer to the workstations, and still get the same issue. The IP address is correct the IP port is good, I have reset factory settings as well. Still will not print more than 2 jobs without it having to be turned off/on. Any suggestions???

HP Laserjet 4250 Network Printer Connection Issues

Hello
We have a HP 4250 Laserjet network printer set up as a shared printer on our Windows Server 2003 32-bit print server.
We are using the latest PCL 5e 32-bit drivers and have now added the PCL 5e 64-bit drivers to accomodate a new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Laptop. However, although it appears to pull the driver across properly, it fails to communicate and complete the installation with the following error:
"Printer Cannot Connect Operation Failed' error 0000007e
I have apoplied the hotfix addressed which addresses a similar problem but this made no difference. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981070/en-gb
Any ideas what I could try next?
Kind Regards

HP LaserJet P1102w prints fine on test prints and Word 2000 but not Access 2000

HP LaserJet P1102w prints dark, regular looking copy on everything but reports generated from Access 2000. Those printouts have the letters outlined with shaded filling - I am printing bold size 16 to 24. Have tried several fonts with same problem. I have Windows XP Professional, version 2002. No error messages appear.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

2101nw print server (and LaserJet M1132 MFP) – installation problems on Windows 7 (64bit)

For two years, I've been a happy user of an HP printer (LaserJet M1132 MFP), wirelessly connected to my home network thanks to a HP Wireless G Print Server HP 2101nw.
A week ago, a new machine came in and – to align operating systems - I had to install Windows 7 (64 bits) also on my laptop (previously we were running Windows XP).
Then, I went on with the reinstallation of HP software, for the print server and the printer.
And it was a disaster.
After the failure of the first installation ("Installazione non riuscita"), I went through a series of attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling, again and again, by various methods. Uselessly. Even Revo Uninstaller did not help.
Then, looking for information over the web, I read there was a known problem of incompatibility of the print server’s driver with 64-bit environment, and that HP was not going to rewrite it .
You can imagine my disappointment.
Now, hopefully, I write in this forum to ask for help. My request is twofold:
1) I would like to properIy clean up my laptop and remove all that bad installed sw (both of the print server and the printer), so that at least I can successfully reinstall printer software for using it via USB cable.
For this purpose, can you please give me your suggestions ?
2) I would like to know: It is true that there is no driver available for use this print server on Windows 7 (64 bit) ?
I’m asking because I found these pages which seems to give some hope, but I’m not so sure ... :

HP LaserJet P1102w will only print wirelessly if I turn the printer off and on again

I have 2 Laserjet P1102w that work fine printing through USB. However, I was hoping this printer could become the standard wireless printer for individual users in the office. I have setup 2 different printers wirelessly with their own static, reserved IP addresses and they are connected to our wireless access point (WPA). We have all laptops that are connected to the network via the same access point as well as through hard wired ethernet. In all cases, they are on the same subnet.
Once I connect any laptop to one of these printers wirelessly through either the "smart install" client or the latest regular installation exe off of HP's site, it will print fine initially. However, whenever I undock the laptop or even just wait a few hours, the connection will be lost and I cannot print. The queue just says "Error - Printing" when I print sometihng. No errors in the logs. The connection will come back if I turn off the printer and turn it back on. This is very annoying and will probably not be acceptable to the users.
So I wanted to do more testing and connected both printers to my laptop wirelessly and made sure they could print successfully. I opened 2 command windows and ran a ping -t on each IP address to see at what point the connection dies. The ping will reply until I undock and go from hard wired / wireless to just wireless.. then it will say "Destination unreachable" and I can't even access the web interface. Even if I redock to hard wired / wireless, I still can't print unless I restart the printer.
This happens on 2 different laptops with 2 different p1102w printers. Any clue as to what's going on here and how I can fix it?
Edit:
If I have both wireless and nic enabled, once I undock the laptop, the ping -t changes from replying to the ip of the printer, to replying to the address of the wireless adapter with "Destination host unreachable".
For example:
IP of printer: 192.168.2.95
IP of wireless adapter on laptop: 192.168.2.25
ping 192.168.5.95
Reply from 192.168.2.95
Reply from 192.168.2.95
*undock"
Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
This does not happen if I disabled the nic and run only off the wireless card. So the workarounds are to either turn the printer off and back on if I undock every time, or disabled the nic.
At this point, I just want to understand why it is like this?

Mowaffaq, you may want to determine whether you are making those changes in the master printing preferences (versus the adjusting the session printing preferences from within your application).
Click "Start", click "Printers and Faxes" (or "Devices and Printers"), right-click your printer, and select "Printing Preferences". On the "Paper/Quality" tab, you should be able to specify A4 as your default paper for all future print jobs.
Hope that helps.
