HP Laserjet 6P delay in printing issue

Long lapse of time between initiating "print" and HPLaserJet 6P actually printing. What could be causing delay? Thanks for any help.

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

HP LASERJET 4250TN Intermittently having printing issues.

I have this printer set in a shop environment. It seems to have a random issue. If we send a document to it that is 10-15 pages, it seemes to stop in the middle sometimes then pickup printing in a minute or 2. It does not always do this. Most of the time it works fine. There are other times when we send a job, it will print some of it then restart from page 1. It gets very frustrating at times. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you in advance for all the help.

HP Laserjet P1102w wireless connection/print issues. Unreliable connection

I have this printer in a business public wifi network with bonjour enabled. I installed this printer wirelessly, but any time I print to it, it takes minutes before the printer will actually receive and print the job.
I have found that power cycling the printer starts the print job faster, however I would like to be able to avoid having to do this every time. I cannot see this printer from other computers, or at the IP address it has registered, either. Only in the small window of printing the job does it actually appear on the wireless network, then it seems to disappear again. If I try pinging the printer I get a response saying it was not found. Unless I ping during a print job in which case it replies with all packets sent/received correctly.
I am using Windows 7 32bit, have installed the latest printer firmware, etc.
The blue WiFi light on the printer is usually off or flickering, but not really ever solid for more than a few seconds.

Sounds like the printer is having trouble stabilizing on the network. Try following the steps in this document to stabalize the printer's wireless connection. You can also try updating the firmware to improve the connectivity. Let me know what happens.

Help with crazy printer issue? ;)

Hi All!
My printer is about 2.5 years old and just a few days ago started acting crazy. It seemed to have started when we had a client try and send a fax and it never came across. There was an error message that kept coming up... something like "wrong size paper selected?", although the fax was a standard size that fax never came through. We since had friends send faxes and they do come through. But after that.....
Then it started taking a long time to communicate between our computers and the printer. Typically it has printed immediately when we hit the print command. now it takes several minutes..... Like it's tired and thinking a lot and confused. (a lot like me these days, interestingly - must be another forum however ) Anyway we turned it off with the power button on the front of the machine as we have often done, and a message came on that said something like "this machine was not properly powered down, use the power button - which we had. At one point when it was trying to print the fax (which was not two sided) it started to pull a paper out that had just printed and pull it back into the machine. I've never used the two sided feature but figured, oh that's interesting....but not helpful.
I hate to buy a new printer this one is only 2.5 years old. Out of warranty but really? Can't it be fixed? I think we had a PGE power outage over the weekend before the fax came through maybe the power outage impacted it? Is anything going on astrologically that I should know about? (this is a joke and I know another forum) We have four computers that are networked and all 4 computers have the same long delay when printing.
HELP. thank you.
Madison

Hi @madisondelaney I Googled astrological signs hoping to find a solution, but I quickly got confused and thought maybe I would stick with what I know!
You said you had a PGE power outage over the weekend, is your printer connected with a USB cable or is it setup wirelessly? I know you said the computers are all networked, I just wonder what connection type you use for the printer. Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Do you currently have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet, or is it in a surge protector or power bar? If you are currently using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
I look forward to hearing from you, and working towards a solution!

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

HP Laserjet 2550L Won't Print In Color

I recently upgraded to Leopard, and now my HP Laserjet 2550L will not print in color. I've tried printing for several different apps, but they always come out in b & w. It does however print in color when printing a test page from the printer itself, so it must be a driver issue.
Currently I'm running with the "HP color Laserjet 2550 series" driver available via PPDPicker. I've also tried several other drivers listed there to see if by chance one of them would work, but to no avail. I downloaded and tried installing HP Laserjet v5.5.2.051 from HP's website, but I can't get it to install. Actually this driver doesn't even show up in PPDPicker, because for some reason it saves as a text file, which seems weird since the dmg file is about 17mb.
Anyway, this has been driving me nuts all night, so if anyone has a solution or suggestion, I'm all ears.
Thanks.

I see you are having a print quality issue, no color on page, with your M251nw Laserjet. You changed the toner cartridges and the printer is still not printing in color. Have you tried taking all the color toner cartridges out of the printer and reseating them to make sure they are secure in their positions?
As well, I would advise taking a look at the document linked below. It will walk you through the process for troubleshooting a print quality issue with this printer.

Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain.
I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing.
I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
Thanks
Regards,
Clement

Hi,
Please check if you turn on this settings:
You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
Remote Desktop Connection.
2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
tab.
3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
4.Click Connect to start the session.
Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.

Hello @lowry_pt,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues on your HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw. I would like to work with you today with resolving the quality issues.
Can I have you start by running through the following HP Support document:
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
Please start by printing a supplies status page and continue on with the steps from there. Don't focus on changing settings on the computer until you get the printer functioning properly on its own.
Please respond to this post and let me know if the print quality troubleshooting steps resolved your issue. Good luck!

Getting Darker Blacks from My HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer

Hi. I own an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer and am on a Windows XP system. For regular printing, it works great. However, for some graphic work I am doing, I can not get the blacks to print out dark enough. I can not find any settings on the print properties panel that would allow me to set a darker black coverage. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey,
I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro. Have you tried a full network power cycle?
Unplug the router and printer while on
Power down the iOS device completely. Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_iphone.htm
Wait 30 seconds
Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the iOS device back up
It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.
If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Let me know how it goes.

HP Laserjet P3010 won't print. It find the printer, send the data but eventually times out. It work fine on Monday, today not at all.

I work in a small office that shares an HP Laserjet networked printer with Macs & PCs. Within the last few days, the printer has sporadically refused to print files from my Mac Pro and my boss's iMac (both running 10.7.5). I've tried removing/reinstalling the printer from Print & Scan (no joy) and verifying permissions (still nothing). I went to HPs site and they claim the drivers are included with the latest OS update. I'm tearing my hair out with this problem. Help!

Hi minkbikini,

HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
I have cups version 1.5.0-1
hplip 3.11.7-2
What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
-Brittany

I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
Absolutely.
If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing? If your not you should be. if it failing does start manually work?
if it's running you should be able to access via browser. localhost:631
also see/try
$ hp-toolbox
CUPS interface better option IMO tho.
EDIT spelling.... to much scotch B4 posting

HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps Printing

Hi Admin,
I currently work as an IT Entry Level Support, and I have a problem with HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP that I cannot give time to figure out why.
Here's what I have:
System: WXP Pro v2002 SP2
Hardware: HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP
Device Manager Driver: HP LJ M1530 Series Scan ; Driver Date: Nov 16, 2009
HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps printing JZJZL() and different Random Garbled characters, I can only print properly if I switch it on and Turn it on again.
One more question: Is there a way to stop whatever is printing from the HP Toolbox.
Thank you..
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Claude-Antoine,
I understand that the printer is printing garbled print and something keeps printing off from the Toolbox. I can help you with this.
Most likely the driver is corrupted and you will have to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
If you can print the hardware self test page properly, then it would be a software issue.
Printing a Configuration Report.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Resolving Strange, Garbled or Illogical Text, Incomplete Printouts, or Missing Text or Graphics.
Here is the link for the newest drivers. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
If your networked, do you have a Static IP setup and what kind of router are you using?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 walk up usb printing

We have a few LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 that we use with walk up usb printing.
the problem is that somtimes when a document is saved directly on the usb drive you get two files called "documentname.pdf" and "._documentname.pdf", now the hidden file is normaly a few kb in size and no problem exept it shows up as the first documents on the printer and this makes the printer spew out random characters,
is there a way to make the printer not show hidden files?
(model number: CF082A)
