HP P1505 laserjet print delays printing for 10 minutes or so - why?

I have a p1505 B&W laserjet on a usb connection on a WinXP printer in my lab - my Vista computer is connected through a hub - to the printer host.  Printer sharing is enabled.  This P1505 replaced an old 1200 because there were no Vista drievrs from the 1200.  What happens now is that I 'print' a file on my computer - 2 print files appear in the monitor box on my computer and the host computer - then nothing happens.  The files don't print for 10 minutes then after this long delay the file prints.  If I access the P1505 over the network from another XP or 2000 computer - the printer prints instantly.  it seems to be a VISTA problem - I have up to date drivers on both computers and have reinstalled (too oftern).
What would make the file simply sit in the printer's job queue?
 A priority (1-99) has appreaded in the P1505 driver - we tried setting this to 99 - but if there are no other print jobs why would the priority make any difference?  In any case the Vista jobs get 1 as the priority whatever we do.
I can print to a network printer - 3600n - with printing starting the moment I send the file.  No waiting. 

I have a new p1505n on a workgroup network with 5 other computers, all running WindowsXP Pro. As I installed the drivers on each computer, each started to fail when I try to print. The files show in the print que, but nothing prints. Even other HP printers on the same network fail to print after I install the p1505 drivers. Anything in the print que prints upon startup when I reboot a computer, but nothing else that I've tried flushes the print que. Sometimes a particular computer will work properly for 1 or 2 new print jobs after rebooting, but then stops printing.
In my experience, I've never seen an instance where HP has fixed a bad driver after a product is release. They make great efforts to get there 'Order Supplies' shortcuts everywhere, but otherwise no followup support. I'm going to look for a solution for a few days, but I'm about to give up on HP. I just installed a different HP model at another company, and it occassionally experiences a similar problem.

  • Laserjet printer for iPad

    hi there,
    i am considering to buy an AirPrint enabled colour laserjet printer and am inclined to buy hp laserjet pro cm1415fnw and it is also certified by apple. my needs are of a small/home business type. does anyone have any suggestion or recommendations?
    thanks,

    The following model is airprint compatible, is this the one you have?
    HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP
    If not the "dnf MFP" model, then no.
    The router needs to support the Bonjour protocol.  If not, the airprint won't work.

  • Need a compatible laserjet printer for imac (2009) OSX10.10

    I need a new printer and would like a laser jet, if possible.  I have a 2009 iMac with OSX10.10 Yosemite.  This is just for my home use and don't need anything fancy.  Please help with a compatible recommendation.

    There are too many to list by every laser manufacturer. I'd suggest determining   your needs such as do you want/need color, do you want/need a multifunction (i.e. scan, fax, copy, print) etc. then once you have determined your needs visit your local office supply store and look to see which are OS X compatible.

  • My Itunes stopped sending info to printer for jewel case inserts. Why?

    My Itunes will not print jewel case labels. The printer works fine for all other applications but Itunes does'nt send the print info to the printer. What can I do? Heeeelllllllp!

    hmmm. When I click on the playlist, the option to "Get information" doesn't come up. I selected one of the songs in the playlist, did get information and was able to select one of my photos as the artwork for it. But, when I view the cover, if I do a single cover it selects a different song cover (not sure how it picks the one).
    Will I need to delete the artwork from all the songs in the playlist except for the one with my photo in it, to get it to work?
    Thank you :- ) for your help.

  • HP P1006 LaserJet printer and G4 Tiger computer - printing problems

    Help. I bought a new HP P1006 LaserJet printer for a friend that has a G4 Computer that is running Tiger (10.4.11). I set everything up. I tried to print "one" page, to make sure all was well. Well...all was NOT well. It took nearly 4-5 minutes to print the page with just lines of text from a Word document. Does anyone know what could be wrong. I selected to print one page, then hit the print button. Then the computer started "thinking" and making all kinds of "thinking noises". Eventually it printed the page, but it too FOREVER.
    I have three HP LaserJet printers. Two are working off another G4 running Tiger, and the other is working off a G5 and a Mac Mini Intel. When I print, it prints within seconds.
    Please help me.

  • Hp 1100 laserjet printer driver for windows 7

    How to install Hp 1100 printer in windows 7?

    Hey farhanchd,
    What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?  
    There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.  
    I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer.  Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

  • What is the best hp laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?

    Hello.
    I want to know what is the best laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?
    Can you recommend a printer ? I want to print negative or positive films at high opacity
    I wait your recommendation.
    Thank you

    high price:HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575dn  This is the top of the line for consumer laser printing.  It's technically an enterprise (fancy word for commercial) printer, and there for has a commercial warranty attached to it, which is a very good thing.  This also has dual trays with automatic tray switching depending on the media type.  That means you can keep the transparencies in one tray, and plain paper for everyday printing in the other without having to switch between the two manually.  This printer also supports 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) which will give the transparencies a clear crisp look.
    average price:HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn  This is about the middle of the road laser printer.  It's still technically an enterprise printer, so you get the enterprise level warranty, and you still get the dual trays with auto-switching.  The main differences are in the price, and in the quality of prints.  This printer is much cheaper, but the maximum dpi is 600 x 600 so the images that print are not quite as good as with the M575dn.
    low price: HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw  This is not the bottom of the line by any means, but it's not as fast at printing as the two above.  You still get 600 x 600 dpi, but you loose the extra tray.  You also loose the enterprise level warranty, but you do still get a 1 year consumer level warranty.  It's not as flashy as the two above, but it will do the job.

  • How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series?

    How do I set up automatic duplex printing for my HP Laserjet Pro400 M401n series from my PC  using windows 8?

    Thanks for your reply.  
    Looks like I didn't do enough research as the HP site said it's available however upon further investigation only manual duplexing is available with drivers installed.

  • How do I set up e print for my laserjet P1102 for Mac

    how do I set up e print for my laserjet P1102 for Mac? I have downloaded soft ware & ejected disc as directed & don't know next step. Thanks

    Hi,
    As you have setup the printer now you should be having the printers IP address. 
    If not please connect your printer to wifi network with a valid internet network and get the IP address by printing the config page.
    Make sure you connect Mac Book to the same wifi network.
    Now type the IP address on a browser in your Mac Book and hit enter.
    You should be able to see the Embedded Web Server page of your printer.
    Now navigate to Web Services Tab.
    Click on Enable to enable eprint on your printer.
    This will enable the web services on your printer and print the information sheet.
    The information sheet will contain the claim code for your printer.
    The <Claimcode>@hpeprint.com will be your email ID for the printer.
    Kind Regards,
    Oliver

  • Duplex printing for LaserJet Pro 1100

    Directions for manual duplex printing for LaserJet P1102w

    Since this is not an auto duplex printer, you will need to go into your printer properties and set the allow manual duplex check box. Once you have set it there it will duplex all the time.
    Start menu >Device and Printers Folder > Right click on the printer > choose printer preferences > finishing tab (I think that is what it is called, if not look for the tab that has...print on both sides (manually) or allow manually duplexing (Sorry, I don't have this printer hooked up to a test box or I would get you a screenshot )
    If you want to only duplex certain jobs, then you can do this through the application at the time you pick your printer by selecting printer properties (located under your printer selection button) and setting it for only that one job.
    Open application > File > Print > Printer Properties > finishing tab  (steps are the same as above)
    Just remember...
    Box checked = duplex (default option so this should already be set unless you have unchecked it)
    Box unchecked = not duplex
    Last word of caution on these instructions...you may have some variation as I am going off my memory here....my printer is not hooked up.

  • Print a PO from a HP laserJet printer.

    Hello All,
    Could you please help me in finding out the solution for below issue.
    " We have a requirement to print a PO from a HP laserJet printer. This has to come in Landscape. For that we have copied a device type HPLJ4 and a formato type as Z_LEGAL. We are un sure how to maintain the device type. Like the entried added for Printer Initialization, Reset after Exit, End of page, End of line etc. Who is supposed to maintain the same. Is it ABAP or who?. Is there any note to know how to maintain the format type and can we raise a ticket with SAP to provide the same.

  • Cleaning the guts of an HP B & W or Color LaserJet Printer

    Hi:
    I currently have an HP4M LaserJet printer...it appears to have "died" after 20 years.
    I have had to do meticulous internal cleaning of it in the past, when I toner cartridge would go bad, dumping toner into the printer.  With brushes, lint free cloths, etc, you could clean the inside of the printer, after removing a few items; e.g., the paper feed roller mechanisms, the fuse roller, etc.  The 4M's HP User's Manual showed how to do this.  If you take time to do it properly, ...and this usually requires several hours to do...you will end up with crisp clean printouts...no excess toner-speckling on the printouts.
    I am considering replacing the 4M with one of the following HP Laser Printers.
    HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n Printer (B & W)
    HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dne Printer (B & W)
    HP laserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw (Color)
    Am I correct that B & W is not striclty Black or White but also includes Gray-Scale like the 4M did ?
    The P1102 appears to have the same (or similar) toner cartridge mechanism that the 4M did.
    When you rermove it, you can see the gear mechanisms, etc....not yet sure about the fuse roller.
    The Pro 400 printers look very much like the 4M externally, but I do not yet know about the internals.
    The M251nw is a different animal.
    It has a metal slide-out tray that holds 4 toner cartridges which appear to be "rectanglular" in shape.
    Can this tray be  removed by the user (for cleaning) if a cartridge dumps toner into the printer ?
    Is the fuse roller accessible to the user for removal and cleaning ?
    I have looked through the M251's User Manual, and this level of cleaning is not covered.
    It only covers "cleaning" like an inkjet does for cleaning the printheads.
    Somehow, I would think that the user should have access to the guts of the printer,
    since a Tech Support person would also have to disassemble the printer for cleaning.
    if this information exist, where do I find it ?
    Thank you

    Colors are great because they provide you with color.  But the cost of ownership is a lot higher because now you have 4 color toner cartridges.  With the cost of toner cartridges hovering around US$130 each, you are looking at a cost of at least $520 in toner replacement costs.  Granted you won't be using all the toner across the whole page but if you print photos or images, it will deplete quickly.  Plus with 4 toner cartridges inside, the cartridges are fairly small.
    Cost per prints for black and white hovers around 1 to 4 cents per copy.  Color prints cost around 8 to 17 cents per copy. But I read somewhere from someone worker for a company selling the toner it can cost up to 30 to 75 cents per copy for a full page of color.
    So in a nutshell, it's very expensive to have color.
