HP LaserJet CP1518ni Dropping Offline

I have an HP CP1518ni color laser jet that I absolutely love. I have it wired to my Ethernet routher and the IP address is statically assigned. The printer intermittantly goes offline and no matter what I do, it will not come back online. I've restarted all of the equipment. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it's still offline. If I wait for an upredictible amount of time, (hours to days), it will come back online and than it will run for an unpredictible amount of time. I also downloaded and ran the HP diagnosis software and it came up with nothing. I can see the printer on my network. I can ping it and perform a tracert to it, I just cannot get it to come online.
HELP!!

Hi Klaatu153i,
I understand you are having intermittent issues with the printer going offline.
I would try another Ethernet cable and another port on the router to see if that helps.
I would try using a higher value to avoid IP conflicts. (e.g. if the current IP is 10.0.0.1, change only the last part to 10.0.0.20 so the address will remain and won't be used by other devices when the printer is powered off)
Try plugging the Ethernet cable into the printer and the computer to see if it  gets a valid IP address and stays online to test the card.
I have provided a document for the http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00312056&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la... Disregard the title please.
Hope this helps.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - Network connect on Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    For a temporary fix, I've connect an HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni for network use by my department.  The printer is printer over the network, but it is not printing in color - just black and white/grayscale.  The demo page prints in color, but nothing sent over the network will print in color.  Is there a fix for this?

    Hello SoonerGirl, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni & Windows 7 via network

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni connected to the network, not via a USB cable. How to I setup this printer so I can print to it from my WIndows 7 machine? Will HP be coming out with anything other than the Universal Print Drivers for this printer? If so, when?

    The full feature download for your printer supporting windows 7 will be available for your product in late January 2010.

  • Hp color laserjet cp1518ni color does not align???

    I recently posted at the beginning of the month saying I was having problems with my hp color laserjet cp1518ni and the whole left side printing blurry.  After cleaning the rollers, running it through the cleaning mode, restoring the defaults and calibrating the colors, it miraculously worked.   
    But less than a month into the fix and I am once again having problems.  I have done all of the following (I have windows vista 64bit):
    *updated firmware and confirmed that it is updated to most current version 20120110
    *restarted computer
    *turned off printer - more than once
    *disconnected printer - more than once
    *restored defaults - more than once
    *calibrated color - more than once
    *run it through the cleaning mode - more than once
    I have taken each toner cartridge out and carefully placed them back in again making sure they were firmly in place.
    My husband has tried connecting it to his computer and printing it, but has gotten the same results. 
    I was trying to print out a job when I noticed that the color was horribly off from what was on my computer screen.  Since I was 5 prints away from needing to change the cyan cartridge, I changed it, thinking this would fix the color.  Not only did it not fix the color, but that's when the alignment problems started happening.  I am so completely frustrated.  It is ridiculous to have this kind of problems with a printer every time you try to print and I've spent the last 3 hours fighting with it.
    I am absolutely, without a doubt, certain it is the printer.  I don't know what it is, with the printer, so if anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.  I just opened a 3 pack of toner (to put the cyan in) so now not only can I not use the printer, but I am out money for the other 2 toners.
    The reason I know it is the printer, is because I finally I printed the same exact piece I had been printing on the hp color laserjet cp1518ni that looked horrible in both color and color alignment, onto a Canon MG6120 inkjet.  The color was exactly as it appeared on my computer screen and there were no problems with misalignment.  I just prefer to do my jobs on laserjet printing, so this is frustrating to have a large, expensive doorstop in my computer room.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I wanted to add one more thing, as I was looking through the Resolving Print Quality Issues page
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01691481&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc​...
    I have printed out a Diagnostics Report and it's obvious that there is a problem. Under Solution #11, it tells you how to
    Identify and replace the problem print cartridge
    Because it allows you to print and see:
    The page prints five bands of color, which are divided into four overlapping sections. By examining each section, you can isolate the problem to a particular print cartridge.
    I have done a search on my computer for:
    HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series ToolboxFX and it does not come up. I am able to do everything through the printer itself (run the cleaning mode, etc), but as far as finding anything on my computer under a folder, there doesn't appear to be anything.
    I'd like to be able to print out these pages so that I can see which colors are giving me problems. Is there a way to do that from the printer?
    Thank you!

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni toolbox error

    HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni, when I try to open the toolbox, I get an error message, "HP ToolboxFX has encountered an error and can not recover.  Please restart HP Toolbox FX, or restart you PC."  I have restarted my PC and it hasn't changed the situation.  I don't know how to restart the toolbox as it suggests.  How is this done?

    I have the same problem.  Have you found a solution? My printer is LAN-attached. My OS is Windows Vista.

  • I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
    Thanks

    InventoryLady,
    Yes that is what I did.  I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
    Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
    If you have any more questions, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • HP Color LaserJet 1500L - drops off the 802.11n network

    My HP Color LaserJet 1500L drops off the network (it just stops printing). This happens when it is plugged into the usb bus of my new 802.11n base station or directly into the usb bus of a computer. The only way to fix it seems to be to plug it directly into a computer and unplug the usb plug and replug it, or to add the printer again. This problem has occurred in the past, but over time, and after various upgrades to the operating systems and hardware, etc, the situation tends to change. Before I installed the 802.11n base station the printer was staying in contact with my computers, but now it is misbehaving again. I doubt there is a real solution out there now, because it happened before and I never did discover a direct fix, but I thought the problem to be worth posting. This problem does not happen with my Canon PhotoPrinter iP6000S, which sticks to my network like glue whereever I plug it in (airport express, airport extreme, direct to computer, etc.) The HP loses contact with either of my computers in exactly the same way.
    Mac Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, and iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   airport express, airport extreme 802.11n, cable modem
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
    You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    then, install the foo2oak driver:

  • [HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni] Stopped printing black ink documents when Magenta toner finished

    Hi there,
    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.
    I just printed about 200 pages of black ink documentation.  The black ink cartridge is still about 38% full.
    Although none of these printouts involved colour, the printer started flashing the message: "Replace magenta cartridge".
    Since then, it would no longer print.  Again, I am only attempting to print black ink docs, and I even tried turning off the colour print option to no avail.
    The printer queue on my macbook shows the doc as 'printing' and 'sending', and then it disappears, with nothing happening on the printer itself.
    If I push the 'X' button on the printer, it says 'cancelling print' or something like that.
    Is there any way around the problem of the printer not printing anything once one of its cartridges runs to empty, even though the printjob does not need that colour cartridge?
    Thank you!
    Steve

    How can I find the Toolbox FX on Windows 7 Professional? I can only find information about Windows XP and Windows Vista. When I  go to my Start button, and go to All Programs , there is no HP option or folder;therefore,I can't find the Toolbox FX.
    My printer ran out of magenta toner, but all I want to do is print in black ink (which I have plenty of).
    Can anyone please help me?

  • 8500 Premier All-in-One printer drops offline

    Periodically my wireless printer drops offline and I cannot print.  This happens randomly on different PCs on the wireless network.  Usually restarting the print spooler on the PC that cannot print solves the problem but sometimes I need to shut the printer down and restart it.  While that generally clears the problem the printer gives me a warning that it had been shutdown improperly, even though I used the on/off button.  Various PCs on the network are running Windows XP and Windows 7 -- all have this problem.

    The printer does not disconnect from the network as far as I can tell as other PCs can still print and the Network report from the printer control panel shows me an IP addressl.  It just goes offilne for for pne user.  In XP we can see the "Printer Offline" status and click "Use online" but that is harder to find in Windows 7.
    I have not upgraded firmware or software recently.  I had a problem installitng and the HP Solution Center tells me it cannt run as my device installation is not complete.  I have donwloaded and tried to install OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe several times with no success.  I also have HP_Smart_Web_Printing_v4.6.exe and hppiw.exe -- not sure if they are still installed.

  • NOARCHIVE mode and datafile DROP OFFLINE

    I have a 10gR2 database on linux that I use for testing. The db is in NOARCHIVE mode.
    I had created test tablespaces on a NAS (as opposed to the system tables on the local machine). The NAS crashed, losing the drive mapping on the db machine. Of course, I couldn't start the database due to the missing datafiles. I did an 'alter database datafile 'xxxx' drop offline', which put the datafiles in RECOVERY mode in the datafiles view.
    Amazingly, I was able to recover the NAS several days later, and the datafiles.
    Is there any way to restore them after a drop offline? When I try to online them, I get recovery needed, when I try to recover, none of the redo logs have the right checkpoint. (The checkpoint needed is less than what are in the redo logs)
    I don't care about any data that might have been lost. The data was static for months.
    Any suggestions?
    Edited by: user10822921 on Nov 4, 2009 5:03 AM

    If the database is asking for recovery when you online the files, and you don't have those transactions in the redo logs, you can't recover to a consistent point in time to online the files.
    # Note that the following is not supported by Oracle Support. You may want to ask them for a second opionion.
    You could try taking a copy of all files to another location, recreate the controlfile, and use parameter "_allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE" to allow "open resetlogs" to ignore the inconsistent SCN. If it works, you should be able to export the data in the copy database, drop the objects in PROD, and re-import.

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni color alignment problem

    Hi,  We bought an Hp Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer about 6 months ago,  It worked fine until recently, when the colors started printing out of alignment.  We tried calibrating and we updated the firmware to the latest one available on HP's website.  This did not help.  We contacted the supplier we bought it from, since it is still under warranty, but they told us to contact HP directly.
    What should we do now?

    I have the same problem.  Very disappointed in HP

  • Linksys WRV4400N Dropping Offline

    I have 10 laptops (Windows XP), in a Windows Server 2008 (That was migrated from a SBS 2003 domain) and using Offline Files, that are constantly dropping their connections and receiving the dreaded "Offline - You are no longer connected to Server A". When I try to synchronize they fail. At first it was all systems dropping offline at the same time when users first logged in. Now it's just random and not all systems at the same time. The Linksys router is less than 20 feet away from the users with 1 drywall between them.
    I can usually resolve the issue by disabling and re-enabling the wireless connection and it'll reconnect and synchronize. Or I can cycle the power on the router and they'll synchronize.
    Initially, I thought this was a domain wireless timeout issue and created a policy to not timeout wireless connections, but apparently that's not the issue.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks!!

    One of the probable cause of this problem is that the EA6500 have a corrupted firmware. Did you check if you have the latest firmware installed on the router? Please try to check as well if you experienced this problem on your other wireless devices. There is also a need to check if the wireless adapter installed on your computer has the latest drivers.
    Just to further isolate the issue, you can also try inSSIDer to help you measure the signal strength and estimate the performance of your Wi-Fi in various locations.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn going offline for no apparent reason. Need help!

    There are four of us with these printers in our finance department.  Two PC's are running Windows Vista and two Windows 7.  The printers are networked but installed locally on each PC.  Routinely all of these printers will go offline at the same time and there seems to be nothing that helps.  Our IT's answer is to buy four new printers but these printers work great when they're working.  There has to be a solution to this mystery out there somewhere.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Hi JThorne,
    The HP Color LaserJet 2605dn is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
