HP Laserjet Pro 1525nw Only Prints After Reboot

Our office recently purchased the HP Laserjet Pro 1525nw, originally we installed it wirelessly but it would only print some of the time or from certain programs. So we added the USB cable and reinstalled the driver to reflect the change and it seemed to be working fine. But recently its stopped printing entirely unless we reboot the computer.
The computer is on a network and some of the files we print are on the network, which is one theory we've had as to why the computer might not be communicating with the printer. But this seems a little strange or like it shouldn't be happening.
Any ideas or similar experiences where someone may have found a solution would be appreciated.
Details:
Windows 7 Pro

Hello,
You indicated that the computer is on the network but the printer is connected locally, correct? You may be right in your theory in that the network documents were created with another printer installed. Just for testing purposes, grab one of those documents, copy and paste it into a new document and select the HP 1525nw printer as the destination printer. (file/print) As far as the wireless issue, depending on the document being printed, it may be the same issue. It's looking at a different printer.. I've also pasted a link below that may assist with some of your t-shooting steps. Good Luck!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 only prints after reboot of my iMac

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909a). Not wireless. After I reboot my iMac it'll print for a short period of time, thereafter it will not print or scan unless I reboot. Typical scenario is that I send something to print. After 40 minutes + nothing. I reboot and it starts to print after the chime but before I sign into my account.
Why is this happening? Can anyone help?
Scott

I installed the update from HP and haven't had any problems since!

Printer only prints after reboot

I have connected an HP printer to my iMac via USB but it will only print after I reboot the iMac. It used to work fine. Where should I begin looking for the solution?

Hi svs1234,
I've experienced this problem. Resetting the print system fixed the issue.
Open System Preferences, then select Print & Fax
Control-click or right-click in the Printers box on the left and select "Reset Printing System"
Click "OK"
Click the "+" button at the bottom to add your printer again.
Hopefully, you will be good to go.

Brand new laserjet pro 400 only prints about 1" down the left side of the page

I just unboxed a brand new Laserjet Pro 400 for a teacher, and upon running a test print, the printer only prints about 1" of the text down the left side of the page. The text fades to white, and the entire remainder of the page is blank! I re-seated the toner cardtridges, ran the cleaning program, and am still getting the same results! Any suggestions? A scan of the page is attached. It came out this way after each solution that I tried!

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
I hope this helps!

If you are using non-HP toner cartridges, then I would say that the onus is on the supplier of these to resolve the problem.

How to enable WebScan feature in LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw Printer

I have installed a new LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw printer with wireless configured. The IP Address is 192.168.0.21. I visit http://192.168.0.21 through browser. I don't see Print/Copy/WebScan options there. I can see rest of the configuration tabs.
I am interested in WebScan feature to scan document from my Chromebook. Please let me know how to enable this.

Hi,
The Webscan feature is not available on laser printers, it is only available on Inkjet printers.
I afraid you can only print from a Chromebook, scanning to a such is not supported with the HP Laserjet Pro MFP M126 printer.

Hello @lowry_pt,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues on your HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw. I would like to work with you today with resolving the quality issues.
Can I have you start by running through the following HP Support document:

Please start by printing a supplies status page and continue on with the steps from there. Don't focus on changing settings on the computer until you get the printer functioning properly on its own.
Please respond to this post and let me know if the print quality troubleshooting steps resolved your issue. Good luck!

Getting Darker Blacks from My HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer

Hi. I own an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer and am on a Windows XP system. For regular printing, it works great. However, for some graphic work I am doing, I can not get the blacks to print out dark enough. I can not find any settings on the print properties panel that would allow me to set a darker black coverage. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey,
I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro. Have you tried a full network power cycle?
Unplug the router and printer while on
Power down the iOS device completely. Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_iphone.htm
Wait 30 seconds
Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the iOS device back up
It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.
If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...

HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
I have cups version 1.5.0-1
hplip 3.11.7-2
What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
-Brittany

I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
Absolutely.
If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing? If your not you should be. if it failing does start manually work?
if it's running you should be able to access via browser. localhost:631
also see/try
$ hp-toolbox
CUPS interface better option IMO tho.
EDIT spelling.... to much scotch B4 posting
