HP LaserJet P3005

Need help trying to diagnose why printer stopped working. I'm on a LAN at home but diagnostic utility unable to find printer - any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks ~ cynth

I believe this is the same problem I'm having--the paper seems to get the toner OK but comes out of the printer heavily creased with the toner smudged around the crease and at the top of the page. Did your printouts have a small indentation in the paper about a third of the way over from the right? Seems like it's hitting something and that's whats causing it to turn and wrinkle but I can't figure out what it's hitting unless the obstacle is inside the fuser.

LaserJet P3005 Intermitent printing issue

Hi there,
We have a LaserJet P3005 on a local LAN which receives print jobs from Windows XP users/ Word 2003 and also print jobs from SAP.
What we have noticed is that from time to time some pages output with a lot of the characters on the page squeezed a lot closer to together, almost overlapping, making it all unreadable and in courier font (original font is something else).
Most of the time this doesnt happen. The printer outputs approx 600 pages per day
Any pointers on this one appreciated!

Hi guys, the solution to all your problems (I have the same printer) is:
1. Go to system preferences, printers & scanners
2. Delete the current Laserjet 2100 printer using the minus sign below the list of printers
3. Use the plus sign to add the printer again but this time:
4. Name the printer what you like, location as well or leave that blank
5. In the "Use" field, choose "Generic PCL Printer"
whats going on is:
- the HP driver is only valid for OS X 10.7 as the latest os it supports
- the driver does default to PostScript level 2 which is what the printer has
- mavericks is attempting to send the printer postscript level 3 which the printer can't understand, the printer is too old
- I can't find a way of forcing mavericks to use postscript level 2, even if choosing the "Generic Postscript Printer" driver
LImitations of the generic PCL driver is that you can only get it to do a max of 600 DPI, so graphics will look yuck if you're used to 1200DPI.

HP LaserJet p3005 prints black pages

Hi
I have a problem with a HP laserJet p3005 it prints always black pages (like this) i install a new toner cartridge but i still have the same problem.
Please help me to troubleshoot my problem.
Thanks.

Looks like a high voltage power supply issue with the black only. Since the laser/scanner on this model uses 1 motor for 2 colors that would eliminate the laser/scanner. Repair by a repair shop may cost more than the printer. Only suggestion I can give to is do a google search for the service manual and download it. Look for instructions for the removal of the high voltage ps and remove it and then put it back in. There is always the possibility one of the connectors has become loose and is causing the issue. Good Luck.

How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?

My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?

Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

Very slow printing hp Laserjet P3005

Ran a printer driver migration program from one xp computer to another and now the printers take 4-5 minutes to print a single page. Any quick fix? Should I uninstall all my HP printers and reinstall them or what can I do? What's the best way to know if all the HP drivers are uninstalled? Will this help?

I have downloaded new drivers, removed and added the printer multiple times, etc. As I mentioned, I've spent a few hours with HP support, tried new USB cable, even got a new machine. They now believe it's something with my system.
Any reason to believe that reinstalling my system software will help?
By the way: Printing from Text Edit is not faster. Or if it is, not very. In any case, it's not a realistic solution

How do I get the HP Laserjet P3005 to work in Vista?

I have tried every driver that is listed in the download drivers area. I have connected the printer via usb, it says the generic driver won't work. Can not get the printer to recognize. Now, when I plug the printer in to the usb port, it shows up in Device Mgr as Generic USB hub. I can't seem to find any solution to install this printer.
This question was solved.

Sorry, my bad.
run the file and take a note of the extracted path.
(e.g C:\HP LJP3005 PCL6 Driver)
Connect the USB Cable to your PC and ignore the Automatic detection.
Enter Control Panel > Printers
Click the Add Printer Toolbar and select a local printer.
Select the listed USB port (e.g USB001 or DOT4 USB) and click next
Below the printers list, click 'Have Disk'.
Enter the extracted folder location, then click Browse and select the hpc300xc file.
Now click Open and then OK.
If you may see several printer models, select the exact one and click OK till completing the Wizard.

Print with ultiboard 10.0 doesn't work with hp laserjet 4

I'm trying to print my ultiboard 10.0 design, but I get every time a blank page.
It's a HP LaserJet 4 Plus network printer, an other printer HP LaserJet P3005 PCL 6 work perfect, but isn't installed in my office.
Word, Multisim etc.print without problems with the HP LaserJet 4 Plus.
Editing the DPI doesn't solve the problem.

HP Laserjet P3005n - 1.5 months out of warranty :-( tiny piece broken

Dear,
At the end of the black bar (see red circle for exact location) a tiny piece (looks like a key) is broken off from this bar at the end. The piece looks like a "key" that goes into the spin wheel (see green circle). Each time a print job is sent to the printer, the black bar (red circle) spins fine but because of the fact that the key head of this bar is broken off the roller no longer spins. As such, no paper can be loaded anymore from TRAY 2. I am from Belgium and wondering if this part (black bar) or a kit containing this piece (red circle) can be ordered (which part number?) and where? Question is also if this can be fixed easily by myself? The part (red circle) looks fine to me and is not damaged.
I discovered this problem after I dismantled/took out the the roller. All of a sudden, a small black piece fell out of the component which is circled in green under.

Many thx!

you're not going to like this very much, but....HP warranty is rediculously hard to get. I ran into two major problems trying to get this printer taken care of--1st. It seems the only companies willing to do warranty on HP printers will only do it if you purchased the printer from them, and 2nd. There are very few companies who will do HP warranty anymore. I found out, much to my dismay, that HP pays on average $30 to repair one of these printers--and because most printers take 2 or 3 hours worth of work to tear down, diagnose, and repair, there simply isn't enough money in it. I was told by multiple companies here in the Houston, TX area that trying to warranty this printer was a waste of time for that very reason--no one wants to touch HP.
Eventually we DID get the printer warrantied.. But, the only way that happened was multiple phone calls to HP--being bounced from support channel to support channel--until I reached high enough up the food chain to bend someone's ear who actually cared about their job. At that point it was mostly painless. I received a refurbished p3005n that, so far, has been working flawlessly. However, a word of caution, the one-year warranty on the printer is from original purchase date. Since it took 7 months for that problem to rear its head, and one month to resolve it, I only had 4 months left on my warranty to cover this "new" printer. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to our refurb. or we'll be forced to purchase another printer.
--and it won't be another HP.

Manual duplex for LaserJet 1300 in Windows 8.1

Hello.
I'm using HP LaserJet 1300 under windows 8.1. I can't print pdf file on both sides of the page. When I choose this option it just prints the whole document. This printer is also used for windows XP and windows 7 and manual both side printing works fine there. I've installed drivers form hp site for windows 8.1
Help me please.

I have the same problem. Is there a solution? Even when it says it is printing double-sided it does not, and it's incredibly wasteful of paper! I see a lot of people asking the same question on different discussions and have only seen one answer that required modifying text in an .xml file. However, I could not find the file that the person referenced. This is the answer I saw (found at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/171987b1-0d50-4dbb-93c7-67067eb0fbf7/hp-la... I believe they were using a different driver. Is there a similar answer for the PCL5 driver for Win8.1 64 bit?
Open the file called "hpcu1306.xml". You will probably find it under "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3" ("C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\XXX\3" for non-x64 systems).
6. Search for this passage:



7. Search in this section for:
<prn_grp models="HP LASERJET P3005 ;HP LASERJET P3004 ;HP LASERJET P2015 SERIES ;HP LASERJET P2015D ;
HP LASERJET P2015N ;HP LASERJET P2015DN ;HP LASERJET P2015X ;HP LASERJET P2014 SERIES ;
8. Replace it with this:
<prn_grp models="HP LASERJET 1300; HP LASERJET 1300N; HP LASERJET P3005 ;HP LASERJET P3004 ;HP LASERJET P2015 SERIES ;HP LASERJET P2015D ;
HP LASERJET P2015N ;HP LASERJET P2015DN ;HP LASERJET P2015X ;HP LASERJET P2014 SERIES ;
9. Save the file and reboot your computer.
Done you now have manual duplex function for HP LaserJet 1300

Hp-mkuri can't find support-type; hp can't write data; I can't print

At work, I use an HP LaserJet 1320 over USB. This was working great - and with no particular fiddling needed to get it to work. However, I've started having some problems. I had some issues last Saturday but I thought it was a blip because it apparently randomly got over them and printed just fine. Today, however, I tried to print a 20 page PDF document using lp <filename> from the command line. The response of the printer was to repeatedly flash an orange warning light. The printer status just showed "Processing..." Three and a half hours later, the light was still going and the status was still "Processing...". Examining running processes, the lp process was running and so was pdftops. That is, hours later, it had still apparently not finished converting PDF to PS.
The log files under cups don't show anything terribly interesting except that page_log contains:

There are no errors reported at this time in the cups error log. The last entry is:
E [04/Apr/2012:15:14:08 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
There's a good chance that the system didn't have access to any printer at the time (except cups-pdf). I wasn't printing and I don't usually turn the printer on or connect it until I need it.

The last type of message fills a good many more lines. Some of the non-finding-device errors earlier are from me connecting and disconnecting the printer etc. I think. i.e. they are not why it isn't working.

I'm a bit confused by this. I don't usually use hp-systray (that I know of). That's the great thing about this printer - I just configured it all through the cups web interface with no need to use hp's printer setup tools or to install any plugin - it didn't need one. But hp/hplip_ac.log says:
[11017]: info: :hp-systray is not running.
error: hp-systray must be running.

Could anyone advise me? I tried searching the forums but although I can find posts on issues similar to other printing problems I've had, I can't find any which look quite like this.

I've figured out that this is happening only with certain pdf documents but I'm not sure why. (None contain pictures or diagrams or anything like that.)
Printing a different pdf today, the behaviour is still very strange, though. Basically, I printed a 120 page pdf. Initially, it printed a bit. As far as the computer was concerned, the job was successfully completed. The printer flashed its lights. I pressed a button and it completed the first 56 pages. I then sent 57-120 to the printer. Again, it printed 57-something and then, again, nothing. Job done as far as the computer was concerned. Flashing lights on the printer. In the end, it took 4 or 5 jobs to finish the document.
What's odd about this is that I usually have no problems at all with this printer and this isn't the first time I've sent it a large document.
It is almost as though the computer sends stuff too fast or something for the printer or sends more than the printer can cope with at once. So when it has finished that bit, it waits for the next bit but the computer thinks it has sent the lot and no more is sent. I don't know if that is possible but that's what it "looks" like!

HP P2035n not recognized after migration from Airport

OS X 10.5.8/intel (multiple computers) and one 10.6.3
Installed the P2035n software from included CD (which matches the latest version available from HP site).
We had our HP LaserJet P2035n connected via USB to our workgroup's Airport Extreme Base Station, and had various Macs connected to the Airport via wireless, and 1 directly via ethernet (and the Airport was connected to the University WAN/internet via ethernet). In this situation, installing the printer always went flawlessly, and we could select the printer from the "Add Printer" dialog (Default tab) and it would automatically detect the printer model (HP LaserJet P2030 Series) when selected.
We had to take down our Airport and are now all connected via ethernet to the local network/internet. When setting up the printer again via IP -> LPD (or IP -> IPP, or IP -> HP JetDirect), the printer only comes up as "Generic PostScript Printer".
Picking "Select a driver to use..." does not have "HP LaserJet P2030 Series" as an option (closest match is the "P2015 Series" plus the usual array of other printer types and brands).
The printer Self Test page clearly shows an IP address given to it, and we can connect to the printer options via its internal web server, and a WinXP machine can print to the printer after installing the driver downloaded from the HP site.
The firmware is 20081120, which is the newest version, I believe.
In /Library/Printers/PPDs (10.5; 10.6 has an extra P2055.gz file), I have the following (notice lack of P2030.gz) files:
HP LaserJet P2015.gz
HP LaserJet P3004.gz

We have other printers connected to the network the same way (direct ethernet connection), and those models were recognized immediately (Lexmark T430, HP LaserJet 2200, and HP Color LaserJet CP3525) by all the computers we're using after entering the IP# in Add Printer > IP > LPD.
It's only the HP P2035n that's giving us trouble. I've also tried manually installing the HP PPDs directly from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL339 , which had previously shown up (and been installed) via Software Update.
I tried to connect the printer via USB directly into one of the computers, and the computer immediately found and recognized the correct model (P2030 Series). However, unplugging the USB printer, removing the installed printer from the PrefPane, and trying again via IP/JetDirect printing failed once more.
What can I do to have the correct printer model be recognized for the HP P2035n when not using a USB connection?

So I downloaded Apple's HP drivers for 10.6 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907 and installed them on the single 10.6 machine we have in the group (the previous attempts at this were on 10.5 machines with Apple's 10.5 drivers).
Installing those drivers let the 10.6 machine properly determine the correct printer model when installing it.
Looking at the package receipt (and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669), the 10.6 drivers do include a printer description for the HP LaserJet P2035, but it is not there in the list for the 10.5 printers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1893).
So why are the 10.5 machines only installing the printer properly when connected via USB? Does the printer have an internal PPD copy that it can only distribute via a USB connection? Or how can I get a copy of the PPD for 10.5 (the 10.6 PPD points to paths that don't exist on the 10.5 machines (/Library/Printers/hp/laserjet/hplaserjetzjs.bundle/), so I doubt I can just copy the 10.6 version and have it work properly.

Type 4 printer driver shows color is available when printer is not a color printer

I am working on migrating to a new Windows Server 2012 print server. I am trying to use the new version 4 printer drivers whenever possible. I have noticed an interesting thing. Here is an example. When I added a new printer, an HP
LaserJet P3005 black and white printer using the HP LaserJet P3004/P3005 PCL6 Class Driver, under "features" it reports Color as "Yes." Now the printer is not color and I have noticed this on all of the other class 4 drivers for black
and white printers. Am I missing something or is this supposed to be this way? The printers do print fine, I just wanted to know why this is showing up like this.

Really a question for HP since it is their software.
BUT: A class driver can be used for a wide range of devices. If the core class driver HP added for the P3005 is also used by devices that support color then the driver itself DOES support color even when the device does not. There
are a couple ways HP could code around this. I do see that HP's PS version of the P3005 does not have a color option in Printing Defaults.
I have seen this type of issue from other vendors on previous operating systems, it's not just HP nor anything specific to class drivers although a class driver would expose this when the software to constrain the feature has not been added by the vendor.

Please help I have no idea what is causing it. If I do a fake example script it works fine.

1. Can I suggest creating a CSV file, which has a three fields per line, e.g.
Andover,172.16.62.160,CPP4005.gz
2. Write a simple loop
PS3='Please enter your choice: '
# Get option. Add logic if it is not Quit
    Cty=`grep "${UserInput}" CSVFileName | awk '{print $1}'`
    Ip=`grep "${UserInput}" CSVFileName | awk '{print $2}'`
    Fname=`grep "${UserInput}" CSVFileName | awk '{print $3}'`
    echo "Installing ${Cty}"
    /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p ${Cty} -L Unknown -E -v lpd:/${Ip} -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ Laserjet\${Fname}
    echo "Installed ${Cty}"
The script remains untouched if you add or remove input lines, instead of having to modify the script to address the Case statements.
PS: This should be to the OP.
