Hp laserjet M706n - NO HALFTONES

I have HP Laserjet M706n printer. It wont produce halftone dots using universal postscript driver in any adobe or corel program. There is no original postscript driver in the hp support site for this printer. How to produce halftone dots with this postscript printer?
same problem cleared for HP Laserjet 5200 printer by using original postscript driver (not Universal Postscript Driver) - downloaded from hp support site.
both printers are able to print A3 size

Hello,
I did happen to find a download for the Universal PS driver on the HP site for your M706n for Windows

Is it possible to customize the halftone screen/angle used by the HP Laserjet 5000/5100

Hi
When sending an image to print on our 5000s and 5100s I'd like for the printer to apply a halftone screen of 85 (frequency) and 45 (angle). However, the driver properties only has two settings - Standard and Enhanced.
I took a look at the PPD and found the following:
*%=== Halftone Information =================
*ScreenFreq: "106.0"
*ScreenAngle: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 300dpi/300 dpi: "60.0"
*ResScreenAngle 300dpi/300 dpi: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 600dpi/600 dpi: "106.0"
*ResScreenAngle 600dpi/600 dpi: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "180.0"
*ResScreenAngle 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "45.0"
I had hoped that simply by changing the screen frequencies to "85.0" it would do the trick (since 85 does not appear to be outside of the printers' capability). However, it resulted in no changes to the prints. I know (or at least think) the changes were "seen" by the print driver because I changed some of the text that it uses in the property boxes of the print driver and those changes appeared (e.g. I changed "Standard" to "Standard 2" for one of the halftone descriptions).
My question is... can I customize the frequency/angle used or are these values fixed regardless of changes made to the PPD?
Thank you.

Halftones on HP Laserjet 5000

I need to create a halftone in a text page to image on a polyplate to print on a duplicator. I have a book
to print tonight qith 20 pictures and they areprinting poor quality.

I had problems setting up my old HP Laserjet 5000 (dn) when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I found a thread that advised the following and this worked for me:
(note that I found out that Snow Leopard does not upload all printer drivers so saving you hard drive space - Snow Leopard needs to find your printer before it can download the drivers as an update. I did this by 'forcing' it to download the HP drivers - I tried to add a printer under 'system preference' and selected the 'Select Printer Software' in the Print Using section at the bottom of the screen. This tricked Snow Leopard into thinking the printer was part of my system (which of course it was although it couldn't see it) and this allowed me to click the 'software update' under top left apple symbol on screen and hey presto, it downloaded the HP printer drivers as an update)....
so now to set up the printer.....
1) Cold Reset the printer (in my case I held down the 'GO' button as I powered up the printer
2) Turned the printer off and on again
3) Through the printer menu (on the top of the printer) I selected 'Print Configuration'
4) On the configuration page, I obtained the HP JetSend Address (10.0.1.22 in my case)
N.B. If you open the 'system preferences' on your mac, and click 'network', the IP Address (using DHCP) should begin the same apparently (10.0.1.x)
5) I then clicked 'printer' in 'system preferences' and clicked the add button , selected the IP button on the top of the opened 'add printer' window, selected Protocol: 'HP JetDirect - Socket' and in Address, typed the HP JetSend Address (in my case 10.0.1.22) and made sure I selected the Print Using: 'Auto Select' and BINGO - up popped the 'HP Laserjet 5000'.
Good luck!

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7, won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7 64 bit,
won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)
The HP website shows a "density" slider control in the print driver, but the driver that they have for download doesn't have this control. I did set the driver to RET1600 but that made little improvement.
Tips to correct this flaw greatly appreciated!
AHI

2nd Request
I set this printer up with a Windows XP computer, and the printer works fine with the XP driver. The problem is with the WIndows 7 driver - the print density is too low to print maps in a readable fashion.
Can anyone please help with printing greyscale (maps in this case) in the HP Laserjet P1006 with Windows 7 ???

Colour management profile for LaserJet 2200 printer?

I am reasonably familiar with the basics of colour management. My monitor is calibrated, I use Epson's standard colour profiles for my Epson 3800 inkjet printer and what I see on the screen is more or less what I get out of this printer. However, I am having less success in controlling the printing on my HP LaserJet 2200 of monochrome images contained within an InDesign CS4 document.
The obvious answer would appear to be to use a purpose-designed printer profile for the HP LaserJet 2200 but, so far, I have failed to find a source for such a profile. Can anyone help?
David

When you save a grayscale (if you save in grayscale mode and aren't just saving a completely desaturated or otherwise made to look like grayscale RGB or CMYK mode image) in Photoshop you should be saving with a grayscale profile like Dot Gain 30% of Gamma 2.2 or something else from the list. These profiles are designed to match printing conditions of various types or different types of monitors (and I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here).
Photoshop understands grayscale profiles, InDesign does not, so it looks at the numbers and says these are all black, so they belong in the black channel, and I'll put them in that channel in the current document CMYK working space. Different CMYK profiles behave a little differently when you print, but to be perfectly honest, I've never really investigated the consequences of choosing one over another for printing grayscale, because all the information is already black and I don't think assigning a new profile would change anything (though CONVERTING to a new profile might well take your grayscale and make it a 4-color image).
Dot gain is the amount of "spread" that happens to each halftone spot wne the ink is absorbed by the paper, and the number is usually defined as the amount of gain for a 50% dot. Dot gain causes images to print darker. For a classic illustration, think of using an eyedropper to drop a single drop of ink onto a sheet of tissue paper, and you'll get the idea. Coated papers usually have better ink "holdout" (they are less absorbent) than uncoated papers, and thus lower dot gain.
Laser printers don't use liquid ink, but they do have gain. The toner is melted and gets absorbed into the surface of the paper as it goes through the fuser which is what keeps it from falling off as a pile of dust.
So how do the prints look now, and what are the settings you are using in the print dialog?

I need to print halftones via Windows 7 HP 5000 Universal driver

Does anyone know how to print halftones through the HP Universal driver on an old HP 5000 laserjet?

Hi,
As mentioned above, some organisations/organizations allow user to fill out the forms very easy but many others do not have this facility. In this case, I believe the form won't let you "edit" it, therefore you need to do it by hand, using a typewriter or using a PDF editor. There is a very expensive one and there are some alternatives. Please check this (ignore the expensive one):
http://www.labnol.org/software/edit-pdf-files/10870/
My suggestion: just one form, using a pen may be a lot quicker.

How print high rez halftone pattern

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to print at around 200 lpi with a laser printer, but I don't know which one.
I've bought a Laserjet Pro 200 n251mw but it doesn't seem to be able to print in halftone even with the PS emulation.
What printer (sub 500$) could help me achieve this kind of resolution ? I'd like to be able to reproduce the distinctive rosette pattern on one of my collectible playing card.
I've looked everywhere on google, but most of the doc about halftone is referring to low lpi work like T-Shirts.
The fact is that I can produce the desired halftone pattern I want in Illustrator, I just can't seem to find a way to print it.
I've read about Xerox printers on this forum that are maybe able to do it, but I don't know.
Is a 600 dpi laser printer enough or do I need more ?
Here's a sample of the halftone I want to reproduce, the canvas is approximately ¾ of an inch.
Sorry if its not clear, english is not my first language.
Thank you for any help
Cheers

Said another way:
Halftone dots vary in size to suggest grays. You desire a 200 LPI halftone screen ruling. 1/200th inch, center to center.
But your printer only prints dots of a single size. Typical laser printers print 600 printer spots per inch. 1/600th inch, center to center.
Halftone dots are built up from printer spots.
Is a 600 dpi laser printer enough...?
Not even close.
At a halftone ruling of 200 LPI, a 600 SPI printer would have a grid of only 9 (3x3) printer spots out of which to build each halftone dot. So it could only print nine different sizes of halftone dots. In other words, it could only simulate 10 different gray tones--9 levels of gray, plus one for white. For what is considered normal "full range" reproduction of your image, you need to be able to print 256 levels of gray.
So even if your print driver would accept a 200 LPI setting, your print would be horribly posterized.
And that's not all:
I'd like to be able to reproduce the distinctive rosette pattern on one of my collectible playing card.
The printer spots of laser printers are little fuzzy-edged globs of toner powder attracted to the printing drum by static electricity. They are not the comparitively far more sharp-edged shapes that a laser can burn into a photo-sensitive emulsion on a plate or on film. You're not going to get sharply-shaped halftone dots from from a laser printer.
What printer (sub 500$) could help me achieve this kind of resolution ?
Not gonna happen. Not even in the same state, let alone the same ballpark. Fact is, laser printers are very low resolution devices.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602 driver issue

Hello,
I've got issue with 600-series printers. We use the latest UPD drivrer ver. 61.175.1.18849 and print from XenApp 6.5. The error occurs every time when users try to print jpg files from XenApp session. It only happens with 600 series printers and UPD.
Also I've tried to assign native 600-series driver ver. 6.3.9600.16384 and it works good. But with that driver system says that it's color printer and it brokes our printing reports. These reports are very important for us. So we can't use printer and that driver as well.
Printer installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. All clients are Windows 7 x64. XenApp Servers are Server 2008R2.
Is it possible to get fixed UPD driver or correct native driver for Server 2012 R2?
Regards,
Anatoly

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 Printers - LaserJet.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn. I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server. I downloaded them from here..
<http>//h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5081348&lang=en&lang=en&cc=lamerica_n...
when i get the file, lets say for windows 7/64bit, i choose...
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
24 Sep 2014 21.3
I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run. the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go? They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ??? really? is this this basic stuff?
Where are the files? this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers!
Thanks!
Jason
UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551dn - Optional USB Device port

Hi, I'm hoping to buy the optional wireless print server (HP Jetdirect 2700w USB Wireless Print Server J8026A). There is one problem though, the optional USB device port seems to not exist on my printer. I only notice that the USB logo is present where the port is supposed to be. The plastic in the area is squared off as though it is some sort of break away tab and the port is underneath maybe.
There is no reference to this in the manual anywhere and I am really unsure how to proceed. I don't want to damage anything.
If someone experienced with this model (preferably an HP Employee) can confirm the availability of the port and tell me how to access it (Is it a break away tab?). Part of the reason why I bought this printer is the optional Wireless N print server.
Thank You in advance.

Thank You for your reply. The port you are talking about is the front panel port for walk-up usb printing and firmware upgrades. This port is indeed available on the higher end LaserJet 500 (NON-MFP, printer only edition) as I just used it to upgrade the firmware. The port I am talking about is the one on the left side in the ports section which you use to plug in the optional print server (not the computer I/O port).
This is shown in the official manual and the spec sheet so I'm 85% sure the port is there, hp can't advertise and mention something that is not available as this would be a big problem and make the 2700w print server incompatible when it clearly states that it is. I just need someone to confirm the availability and clear my confusion (either from HP, or another owner who bought the wireless print server 2700w).

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 - Can't scan from Windows

We recently purchased and installed an HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 to be used as a networked all-in-one solution for a number of offices. I have been able to get it set up on our network and have installed the appropriate drivers on the requested Windows 7 x64 machines, and network printing works perfectly. However, it seems that despite the fancy scanning features available from the all-in-one itself (scan to email, scan to a network folder, etc.), I can't find any way to do an old-fashioned scan from Windows.
I have installed the full software solution available on the driver download page for the device, and while Windows lists the device as a "Multi Function Printer; Scanner" it does not recognize it as an actual scanner. The built-in Windows Fax and Scan simply reports that no scanners are installed. The software installation did not include the HP Solution Center (which I am used to seeing from my experience with various other HP all-in-one devices) or any equivalent for direct scanning. The driver download page for the device does not include any separate scanning drivers, so I can't be certain if they were included with the full installation or exist at all.Some of our staff also use Adobe Acrobat to scan, and even that fails to recognize the MFP as a scanner.
We'll eventually be setting up the device to scan directly to a network folder, but we need a fallback while IT takes their time getting it set up; I can't imagine that the simplest option is not available at all. I must be missing something here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: To add, I also ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Interestingly, it reports the device as a printer and only offers to "Fix Printing" without any sort of resolution for my scanning problem.

HP AiO remote doesn't recognize 3rd party toner as compatible in LaserJet M1217nfw MFP

Hi,
I have a HP Envy 17 running Windows 8.1, a MacBook Air, an iPhone and a HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP. I recently replaced the toner with a 3rd party replacement cartridge and while the printer does give me a "supply memory error" I am still able to print just fine from the Mac and my phone. I am unable however to print from my Envy. The HP All-in-One Remote app in Windows 8 gives me an "incompatible cartridge" message and says there are no solutions availble. Is there a work-around to this?
I am not very good at Windows 8....
Thanks

Hi Thaddeus,
Although the printer may resoponse to some commands, a supply memory error is an error state about the used cartridge.
Due the error message on the screen the HP AIO Remote recognize the cartridge as incompatible, that cannot be bypassed
with any settings, resolving the issue which cause the error message is the only key to resolve a such.
If the HP AiO Remote fails to print in such condition the only solution is to fully resolve the condition by following the steps listed in my previous post.

AiO Remote and LaserJet

I have a HP LaserJet CM1415fnw and the firmware is 20131028.
It prints perfectly from my PC Windows 7(64bit) and quarter size from my Ipad iOS 7.0.6.
If I use HP ePrint it prints but I get a dirty shadow repeat 56mm down the page for the bottom half of the sheet which is unacceptable.
I would like to use AiO Remote but the program cannot find my printer which is connected to my router by an ethernet cable any ideas would be appreciated?

Hello kingfishers,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are trying to print to your Laserjet CM1415fnw printer. You indicated you have a couple of different issues; printing from iPad is smaller than from your computer, you have print quality issues when using ePrint, and the AiO app doesn't find your printer.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       When trying to print from your iPad are you using Apple's AirPrint feature or the HP ePrint app? Are you trying to print a photo from your iPad when your documents seems to shrink to roughly 1/4 the size?
2)      Are you getting the "dirty shadow" when you print the same document from your computer? Are you emailing the document to the printer or are you using the HP ePrint app?
3)      You indicated that your printer is plugged into your router using an ethernet cable which would be why the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app cannot find it. I've included The Printer Does Not Support Ethernet (Wired) and Wireless Network Connections at the Same Time for your reference.

HP LaserJet Pro M177fw and AIO Remote App

Will HP AIO App remote supports HP LaserJet Pro M177fw Multifunction Printer later.
Or is there any other way to control the printer to scan without going back to my computer?

@Ashley8
With regards to the no support of the AiO remote app and the m177, this is only on the iOS and android app.
You will need to use your desktop/computer as your go to scan for the m177.
