Hp laserjet p2055dn network problem

I am experiencing a problem getting my new hp laserjet p2055dn to work as a networked printer. I can print fine via usb. My girlfriend's laptop can print using printer sharing. But when I print via the router, the command arrives in the print queue, then just sits and sits and sits, sometimes eventually disappearing, but without leaving any error message.
I tried printing via the network (bonjour) using an old laptop running OS 10.5 and it printed with no problem.
I've installed the latest drivers from hp spec'd for 10.6.
It seems to me that this must be a problem with OS 10.6.4. Anyone else had this problem and found a way to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You have this printer plugged into the router via ethernet?

  • Laserjet 5000 Network problems (wrong driver??)

    Greetings!
    I have posted this on a hp forum just two days ago, but either there are about a trillion new messages each day and the search doesn't work, or hp have multiple forums. Anyways, I'd be great if someone had a solution to my problem:
    I have Windows 2008 Server and XP clients running. There's a Laserjet 5000 printer connected to the network via a hp print server. The driver is installed on the server. I have tried both PCL 5 and PCL 6 drivers for the 5000 series from the HP homepage, but I have one or more of the following problems depending which driver I use:
    - grayscales print black
    - the duplexer doesn't work
    - I can't print multiple copies of a document
    The printer was fine about 6 months ago when I had it on the network but had installed the drivers locally.  Obviously I want to avoid that for maintenance reasons. 
    Well, has anyone experienced the same problem or a solution to it? It seems (from reading here about other printer models on a network) that sometimes picking another driver helps, but I don't know which and one built-in Laserjet driver from the Server 2008 distribution didn't do the job.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a lot,
    Boris

    Right--but there is a setting in the "EFFECTS" area of the PCL 6 driver that resets itself automatically to "print on letter," regardless of paper size. Nothing I do on the PCL 6 driver (from Windows Update) will prevent that setting from resetting itself. Here's what I want to do for now using Windows 8 : 1.  Print at 1200 dpi out of PS or PCL 6--UPD does not seem to allow for1200 DPI out of Windows 8 as far as I can tell. Windows PCL 6 driver allows for 1200 DPI but has a host of other issues. 2. Figure out how to get rid of that automatic reset to "print on letter" I described above on the PCL 6 driver. 3. Figure out whether I will be wasting money on buying a duplexer for use with these Windows 8 drivers. I can't test, since nobody I know has a duplexer I can borrow. 4. Find a method to install the PCL 6 driver so Windows 8 quits telling me "it isn't installed so you won't have all the properties available." I'd like to have the driver install, and I'd like all properties to be available.  

  • HP Laserjet 1300 Networking problem

    Hello.
    I have recently donw a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64bit to my computer.  There is a hp laserjet 1300 connected via USB to this computer.  There are two other computers that share this printer thru a netwrok.  After the move to Win 7 neither of the other computers can print to the 1300.  One of the computers is running Vista 32-bit the other is running Win XP.  All worked fine when my computer was running Vista 64 bit.  I do remember that it was a hassle to make it work when i set this up a few years ago, but dont remember how i solved it.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer on my computer, and deleted the printer from the two remote computers( in retrospect that was probably a bad move, they most likely had the correct drivers on them already).  Any help is appreciated.

    Seems like you may be in the wrong spot.  These are the consumer forums and you need the business forums.  It happens a lot, so don't feel bad.  Just follow the link and it will take you to the right spot to find an answer.  Sorry for the confusion.

  • I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

    I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
    Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
    Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

    How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
    I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
    All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
    Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
    I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
    Thank you for your help.

  • HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents & envelope problem

    My HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents until i send another document, then it will print the last page of the previous document, but omit the last page of the current document.  I need to keep printing a blank page or any other page to get my previous documents completely printed.  Also, the envelopes print with large rectangular boxes on them and no address (I don't know if this is a result of the previous stated problem or not - it started happening at the same time) I use the envelope feature in Microsoft Word 2010.  I never used to have either of these problems - didn't make any changes to the system or add any software to the computer, so I know it's not that.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

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

  • Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer

    Hi
    Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer
    Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
    Best Regards

    Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
    Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
    We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
    Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
    Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

  • HP LaserJet P2055dn prints PDF's inverted

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem where PDFs are printing inverted from 10.6.1 from any of two new MacBook Pros or one MacBook Air in the office connected to a networked HP LaserJet P2055dn. The HP LaserJet P2055dn is connected to the computers wirelessly via a late model Apple Airport Extreme.
    To reproduce the problem, I choose any PDF file where the background is white and the text is black and print from any of the above mentioned computers in the office and the output from the printer on paper is a black background with white text.
    I have tried:
    - Rebooting the computers, turning the printer on and off
    - Changing the color matching between in-printer, and any number of profiles on the computer
    - Saving the PDF in preview using a Quartz Filter for Black and White, Reduced File Size, Gray, etc
    - Printing from Adobe Reader
    - Changing the paper type in the print dialog box
    - Changing output resolution (600dpi, 1200dpi, etc)
    - Changing the output quality (draft, proof, etc)
    - Going through the options menu on the printer itself (no obvious related settings to be found)
    I have tried this with PDFs created using Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500m (the primary source for PDFs around the office) as well as PDFs coming from the eFax on-line service (the other typical source for PDFs around the office). Color documents with black text on white backgrounds authored in Apple's Pages program print correctly with black text on white backgrounds.
    If I import any of the problem PDFs into Photoshop (forcing me to choose a specific pixel resolution and pick a specific page) the resulting image prints correctly (black text on a white background).
    I have tried printing problem PDFs using Preview, Adobe Reader and PDF Pen.
    My first thought was to update the printer drivers, but HP's customer support site says that there are no driver downloads for this printer for Snow Leopard because Snow Leopard ships with the latest drivers.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
    Jeremy

    I should note that these documents print normally on an LaserJet 1320n, and always have.
    Furthermore, when viewed onscreen using Pages, they appear normal. Since what we do is "fill out" these forms using Pages, we put black text on the scanned image and then print it. The scanned image comes out in negative, while the text comes out black as intended. Net result: black text on a black background, just in case you didn't follow that.
    So there's something screwy about the image itself and how the printer and/or driver handles it.
    More data: this happens with multiple computers, all running the same version of the OS, all with the latest printer drivers. Only one of the computers has the Fujitsu software on it. The rest do not.
    It happens consistently, each and every time the document is printed. It is not a random occurrence. But whether or not it happens in the first place does seem to be random. I.e., we cannot nail down which documents cause the problems and which do not. I am having a test run to see if OCR'ing the document using the FineText (or whatever it's called) OCR program solves the problem.
    I'll also have a go at letting ColorSync "reduce the file size" to see if that does something to the image that helps us out.
    Will post more as I find out more...

  • Print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my iPad

    How can I print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my  iPad?  Can I use the AIO app?  does not find the printer.  Thanks.

    @Mojo-Risin 
    If I understand your question, you would like to use the AiO remote app on your iPad with your Laserjet 4050, correct? If this is case, unfortunately, the AiO remote app is not supported with the Laserjet 4050 and the iPad.

  • HP LaserJet P2055dn

    Hi,
    My problem is this: When printing to HP P2055dn (network printer) from pdf document and power point documents that have more pages (documents are not large in size), printer prints first two pages then stops (like he's having a tea break hehe) for about 2 sec and then prints 2-3 pages, then stops again for 2 sec, and then prints more pages and then stops for 2 sec and so on...I haven't tested it on other formats but i believe it would be the same result.
    This is what I've tried so far:
    1) Printing with PCL5,PCL6 and Universal drivers ==> Problem stays
    2) Upgrading latest firmware ==> Problem stays
    3) Reset all settings to manufactured ==> Problem stays
    4) Printing directly trough USB ==> Problem stays
    Did anybody had similar problem and knows the solution, or has any advice? Thanks
    And one more question, why does document in size 2MB when printing, printer in Job Status - See what's printing shows that it has 10-15 MB and more?
    When printing from Foxit PDF printer prints delayed as i mentioned in the post previously , but when printing same document from adobe reader 9 and X printer prints normaly. Also when printing document from Foxit PDF and Power Point  e.g document that has in size 300KB then in window  "Show whats printing" is shown much larger size ( e.g. 300KB becomes 3 MB). Can somebody explain why does printer spooler enlarges document in his memory so much when printing from Foxit PDF and Power Point. I've tested another printer HP CM1415fn, and similar problem occured, but this time printing pdf document (8 pages; 200 kb) from adobe reader x. The document size in "Show what's printing" windows has enlarged to 33 MB, and thus printer prints very very slow. Printers are installed on Server 2008 Standard.
    Every help would be appriceated Thanks.

    Anybody alive ?

    Do you want to create PDF files using Java? If so, there is a library available at http://www.lowagie.com/iText/docs.html Check out this site. There are many more similar PDFGEnerator tools that you can use..

  • HP Laserjet P2055dn and windows 8 PCL6 error

    Hello everyboby,
    I have a network of two PCs and a networked HP Laserjet P2055dn. The PCs were in windows xp pro and everything go fine. I have changed their PCs with Hp Pro and windows 8 64bits as OS. Since the PCs are windows 8, both users have random PCL6 errors when they print. It does not occur everytime. I have updated the printer firmware to latest ==> same issue.
    When i look at the printer configuration, i see that Laserjet P2055dn supports Pcll5e and ps but no PCL6. But on the HP site, for windows 8, there's only PCL5 and Ps driver !!! Anyway, i have tried each driver: PCL6, full software solution driver, Universal print ==> same issue.
    Does anyboby has encounter this issue ? What is the solution ?
    Thanks to everybody for interest, Sincerly yours, David from France

  • LaserJet P2055dn is not printing the last page

    Hello! Our LaserJet P2055dn prints all pages in a multipage document but not the last one. When a new document is sent to the printer, it first prints the final page of the previous document, then the new document (again without the last page). If a one page document is printed, it works without a problem.
    Anyone know how to solve this?

  • OSX 10.8.5 cannot detect LaserJet P2055DN (worked previously for several years, now won't)

    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) and a wireless network conencted through a D-Link DIR-655 router, which has the cable modem connected to the WAN port and the printer connected to a LAN port.
    I cannot add my HP Laserjet P2055DN as a printer, either wirelessly with the printer connected to the router, or directly to the MacBooks's ethernet port. There are no error messages: the printer just does not appear as a choice in system settings\print & scan.
    I deleted the printer and tried to restore it in the System Preferences, but it's not on the network. I have tried resetting the printer. I have reset both modem and router. I have powered everything up and down in various sequences. I ran network diagnostics. Nothing enables the printer to be detected.
    I have checked for a driver among the downloads available from HP, but the 2055DN support page links to Apple SU. I cannot download any newer drivers from Apple. Without seeing the printer on the network, I cannot choose the driver that's already installed.
    When I turn the printer on, there is the green light, and no error messages. I previously reset the printer to it's default configurations, but that knocked it off the network for our Windows 7 PC in our other office as well.
    How can I get the printer to show up on my network so I can choose it on the MacBook? Thank you.
