HP Laserjet P1006 - GUI Print Options Problem

This printer works fine if I'm just printing with the default settings. However...
I want to be able to turn on EconoMode and turn down the Print Density to save on toner. Unfortunately, the driver is giving me one frustrating time. It looks like it works until I choose an option like 'Print Quality'.
What happens? I've uploaded a picture of what happens here: narkeeso.com/images/Picture%203.png
If you look the print options GUI jumps to the top left corner. No problem right? Just click on it... but NOOOOO you can't click on anything not even where it's suppose to be. It's as if that option doesn't exist.
I am using the latest driver off the HP site. Any help would be appreciated.

printing was going fine and then after updating Office 2004, problem kept happening and then became unfixable when I upgraded to Leopard. Just got off phone with MS and they gave me a temporary fix... using key commands (command-P) will not get Word or Excel flies to print, but if you use the printer icon in the toolbar, it seems to work. However you can only print "all" pages, not a select range. MS said their engineers are working on it and hope to have an update to fix it so we can use command keys or selecting print from the "file" menu in each app. Hope this helps.

HP LaserJet P1006 not printing

Just connected my HP LaserJet P1006 to the USB port of my wireless router. When I tried to print my computer went on the Net to download the printer driver. I tried printing again. I got the print dialog box, selected the printer which was connected to my wireless router, and clicked on “Print” button. The HP printer app starts and reports that the page was completed but the printer just sat there with no output and no error message on the computer either. The printer works fine when I print from my MacBok Air. What am I missing?
1.HP LaserJet P1006
2. MacOSX 10.5.8
3. No error messages
4. Just installed printer

What brand and model is the router?
It does sound like the issue is isolated to one Mac system since it works from the other.
Reset the Mac printing system exactly as outlined in this document from Apple.
Next, install the full featured driver from HP. This driver package includes support for OS X 10.5.
This should reset the printing system and remove any software that may be causing a conflict.

HP LASERJET CP1525n COLOR PRINTER password problem

I forgot the login username and password of my HP LASERJET CP1525n COLOR PRINTER due to which i am unable to access the web pannel for administration like setting a new IP etc. Infact, i want to change it's IP setting which is configured to get IP via DHCP. I want to assign a static IP to my printer.
My printer is on network i.e. directly connected to network switch via network cable.
Please let me know if there is any solution for that.

LaserJet P1006 booklet printing problem

OS: Windows XP SP3
Connection type: USB
I'm trying to print a booklet with "Left Edge Binding". The output pages are not centered (they are shifted to the right, no space between pages). I've tested it by printing MS Word document with grey background and zero margins. If I print it manually ("2 pages per sheet") everything is correct. Is it a driver error?

I am having similar problem with C309C. Front page looks good, but the back page is not centered. Thank you.

Hp laserjet P1006 Not Printing everyline of text

My printer is not printing every line of text. It omits 3-4 lines. These are spaced evenly apart on the page. Before this started it seemed like the printer, when printing was coming out especially hot and the printer it self was steaming. The paper would actually curl from being hot. Any suggestions. I have replaced the toner cartridge. Run a diagnostic check. Says printer is working properly. Run the printer cleaning. Still to no avail. Need help.

HP LaserJet P2050 (2055) printer Easyprint problem

We have Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop farm with deployed RemoteApps.
We use Easyprint by group policy settings. No printer drivers are installed on RD servers.
But every time when client computer with HP LJ P2050 printer make connect to RD farm, driver for HP LJ 2050 be installed on RD server.
In result some clients print with Easyprint, and other with HP LJ 2050 driver.
Only HP LJ P2050 printer driver installed to RD server automatically.
How to disable HP LJ 2050 printer driver installation to RD servers ?
Sorry for bad English.

"as is, without any warranty !!"
In short (I am not at workplace now): do all on RD server -
1. identify and delete printer P2050 package on RD server by pnputil
2. delete registry key associated with P2050
3. delete driver package from drivers repository C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnhp002.inf.... (very long filename)
4. delete folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\PCC\prnhp002.inf.... (very long filename)
5. delete HP2050 driver from Print manager.
6. If delete attempt failed, reboot RD server
after rebooting RD server, driver HP2050 deleted automatically from Print manager, and only 3 drivers (easyprint and xps) are in print manager now.
At client PC with wrong driver P2050 stopped working.
But no automatically installation HP 2050 driver on RD server now !
Need to replace "wrong" driver on PC to another version (pcl 5 ?) or to hp universal pcl5 driver.
All other printers print with easyprint except exotic printers - for it we have special one RD server without " use easyprint first" policy and with installed some drivers.

Print problem with HP LaserJet P1006 since 17/10/2011

We received our client reporting that they use the HP LaserJet P1006 to print a PDF with portugese. The preview is fine. However, the output of the portugese words are changed to font named "Wingdings". I viewed the property of the PDF file - fonts tab. All fonts are embeded. This error occured on this Monday. Why...? Thanks a lot.

Printing problems with HP LaserJet P1006 - UGH!

I have an HP LaserJet P1006 directly connected (wired w/ USB cable) to a computer that runs Win XP. It will at times just stop printing. For example, most recently, it ran out of paper while printing something. I put more paper in but and pressed the start button and it would do nothing. I tried to turn it off for the recommended 30 seconds, when I turned it back in, it still did not print. As recommended, I restarted the computer, and tried to print again, but no luck. I know that I can uninstall and reinstall the printer and that should fix it, but it is frustrating to have to do this frequently.
Are there any fixes to resolve this problem from repeatedly happening?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have consistently had the same problem. You are not alone. I have not figured the solution. In fact I came across your message in my search for a solution.

Help! I am having problems printing to HP LaserJet P1006? How can I get it to work?

Hey All! I have an old iMac that I am having a few issues with getting it to print with my HP LaserJet P1006. It will print from MS Word, but not any other program. Whenever I try to print from any other program (Excel, Preview, Firefox browser) it says that the print job has been stopped, and if I try to restart it or resend it to the printer, it simply stops it again and I have no idea why. I have already tried all of the basics (restarting my computer, reinstalling the driver, unplugging and restarting the printer, etc) and am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

HP Laserjet P1006 suddenly quit printing wirelessly - in between print jobs. Instantly.

Hi -
I used to be able to print wirelessly from my macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) to my Laserjet P1006.
I can still print if I plug in via USB, but as soon as I unplug, the "print and scan" window says my printer is offline.
I was inbetween print jobs when suddenly the printer stopped allowing my computer to print wirelessly. There was nothing I could see that would have set it off.
I have tried shutting everything down (computer and printer, even wireless router) and turning back on.
I have tried telling computer not to remember printer... then connecting again with USB to get it to recognize as new. That didn't work.
I tried to follow instructions for MAC and for this specific printer from a post someone else made, but the instructions said to hit utility from the "Open Print Queue" window and I didn't have that option. It also said to look for Bonjour, I didnt' have that option.
I'm frazzled.
How can I get my wireless connection back?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Teh Laserjet P1006 is a USB only printer and does not provide any wireless connection:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01173154&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
May you connected the pritner to a print server (a USB port of a router, etc.) in the past? yje specific model does not support any connection without using a USB.

Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

HP LaserJet P1006
Windows 7 64-bit
No error message
No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
- printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
- when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
- but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
- and no page is being printed
- the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
Can anyone help me with this?

I just installed Windows® 8 Consumer Preview and my HP printer has stopped working. I am using the Laserjet p1006 and I have tried everything, reinstalling the printer, re-downloading drivers etc. but to no avail. Are there new drivers available that work with Windows 8?

The printer is installed and driver has been picked up by Windows but every time I try and print something, it gives me an error that the document could not be printed.
Any suggestions

Hey @wmowafi,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing a slow printing issue on Windows 8.1 when printing to your HP Laserjet P1006 Printer. I would like to work with you today at resolving this issue. Now the only driver available for your product on Windows 8.1 is a hostbased plug and play basic generic driver. Therefore, there is limitations for what can be done for troubleshooting. As you stated, you have already attempted an uninstalled and reinstalled of the driver to no avail. I'm going to suggest some further steps and tools to resolve this issue for you.
Step 1: Uninstall Your Printer:
Disconnect your USB cable
Click the following link: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled to access the Microsoft Uninstall Tool.
Once the website opens, select Run Now on the right hand side
Allow the Tool to run.
When prompted choose Uninstall
A list of programs should populate and you're looking for the Laserjet. It may appear as LJ P1000 series. Please select the Laserjet series and Uninstall it.
If the Laserjet doesn't show in the list of programs than your Windows 8.1 computer does not see the Laserjet driver as properly installed.
Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
Launch your Start screen by right clicking on the Windows icon on the bottom left of your screen or by select the Windows button on your keyboard located to the right of the Ctrl button.
Once the Start screen launches, type the word Run
Click on Run to launch it
In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
Once the Temp folder opens, hold down Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard and everything will highlight in the folder. Select 'Delete' on your keyboard. Don't worry, no files or folders on your actual computer will be removed during this process. If a file is still be used on your computer you will get a pop up to 'skip' the file
Once the Temp folder is emptied of its files, close the window
On your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and left click on 'Empty Recycling Bin'
Restart you computer
Step 3: Reinstall the Laserjet P1006:
Please keep your USB cable disconnected
Click on the following link: HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver
The driver page for your product will now launch
Select Download and allow the download to Run
Once the download is complete an extraction will automatically run and once completed the installer will launch
Run through the step-by-step on screen instructions.
Please do not plug in your USB cable until prompted
Ensure that your USB cable is plugged in from the rear of the printer directly to the computer. Avoid extenders or docking stations as they can cause printing and communication issues.
Test printing!
Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!
