HP Laserjet P2055dn printing erratically

We have setup the P2055dn printer on our network (most PC's are Win 7 Pro - 64 bit). When printing large documents the printer will not print all of the pages missing a few of them.
Also when printing multiple copies the printer only prints 1 or 2 not all of the requested copies.

There's no printer setting for BITMAP. However, I did find 2 settings that I changed.
1. In the PRINT window there was a drop down asking for document and markup. I changed this to just document.
2. There was a checkbox that says: PRINT AS IMAGE. I clicked this.
NOW, it prints fast like all of my other stuff. I'm not sure which of the above 2 items did the trick but it did. Now I have to figure out how to set these as DEFAULT SETTINGS.
What do you use to open PDF files if not Adobe Reader? Last week I moved Adobe Reader to the trash but none of my PDF files would open without it.
I appreciate any comments suggestions.

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!

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!

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...

HP Laserjet P2055dn prints the word JOB first

I have installed HP Laserjet P2055dn as a local printer. But when I print a document, it prints the word 'JOB' first before printing my document. I wanted to know how to stop this option. Thank you in advance.

Yes and No. Yes, its fixed but not me. The printer resolved itself. (I don't know how). The last thing I remember is that after setting the default paper size (A4), I tried printing without changing the paper size in the printer settings, I left it as default, hit the print button, then voila! It's fixed! no more "JOB" on the first printed paper. I hope will someone will help us soon. It's been a while.

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?

Laserjet p2055dn installation software for windows 7

Just bought a HP Laserjet p2055dn printer and got error message as soon as I started to install software on my Windows 7 computer. Is updated software available for this printer? If so, how do I get it? Will go back to store tomorrow if necessary.
Thanks for any advice.

I see this msg has been moved to the hotsync group - maybe I didn't state my question clearly - I'm no longer using my palm pilot - I am [was] only using the software onh my computer and using it as my contacts list. I now need to retrieve the information from those files and transfer them to another contact program but can't open the files because the new computer w/Win 7 won't accept the original software CD - what I need is to know if there is other software that can open the files.

Is there any way to print from the iPAD 3 to a HP LaserJet P2055dn? I called Applecare and was told I could not print to my wireless HP Printer.

I own a iPAD 3. It will not print to my wireless printer: a HP LaserJet P2055dn. I called Applecare and they had no solution. I don't see such a basic function--printing--is not available. Does anyone have a way to print from the iPAD 3 to a HP LaserJet P2055dn?

HP LaserJet P2055dn and Printing from Adobe Reader

Everything prints just fine from my Mac Mini, EXCEPT: for some strange reason PDF files that are opened via Adobe Reader are taking forever to print. It's as if it's taking a break. One page will finally print, then it stops and nothing happens for over 5 minutes.
The green light on my HP Laserjet is blinking which shows that it's planning on printing another page. What is up with this?
Typically, in regards to Word, Excel files OR even when I print an email OR even a page from a website.... the printer starts immediately and knocks it out.... FAST!
But, when I go to print PDF files that are opened using Adobe Reader.... its like pulling teeth.
My software is OS X 10.8.2.
My printer is HP LaserJet P2055dn
PLEASE HELP! THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!

There's no printer setting for BITMAP. However, I did find 2 settings that I changed.
1. In the PRINT window there was a drop down asking for document and markup. I changed this to just document.
2. There was a checkbox that says: PRINT AS IMAGE. I clicked this.

Laserjet p2055dn is slow printing pdf files using mac

My Mac is very slow printing pdf files on my hp laserjet p2055dn. I have noticed fixes for this problem for people using Windows. Is there a Mac solution?

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 won't print pdf files

I have just hooked up a new iMac with Mac OS 10.9.5 and now my reliable HP Laserjet P2055dn won't print .pdf files anymore--it just hangs for hours. I am an academic and work 50% with pdf's. I tried to download a new driver from the HP site for all MAC OS systems 10.7 and up, but the message when the download was finished opened up in a little box that reads: "ljp2055_Firmware_Upd Image not recognised."
I've unplugged, plugged back in, turned off, turned back on countless times. Don't know what else to try?
Thank you.

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 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?

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
