HP P1505 laserjet printer suddenly printing everything in a huge font

Suddenly this printer is printing everything in a huge font - I've reset the printer, checked the default settings, etc.  It does this in every program.  I have over a hundred of these printers and have never seen this issue - any ideas?

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we running and does this happen with all applications or just one?

  • 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.

  • Hello, I have installed a new Laserjet Pro M1217nfl using Wi-Fi. My laptop prints everything e-mails, Word documents etc. My iPad 3 (latest issue) only prints documents using Wi-Fi so has clearly recognised the printer. How can I prin e-mails using iPad 3

    Hello, I have installed a new Laserjet Pro M1217nfl using Wi-Fi. My laptop prints everything e-mails, Word documents etc. My iPad 3 (latest issue) only prints documents using Wi-Fi so has clearly recognised the printer. How can I print e-mails? Thanks.

    In the email you want to print, on the top right there is an arrow. Click that and an option should appear that says print. That should work. Have you already tried that?

  • 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 Color Laserjet Printer 2605dn

    All of a sudden my printer (HP Color Laserjet Printer 2605dn) won't print reds.  I checked the magenta cartridge and it says it has toner left.  Doubting that, I bought a new magenta cartridge and it didn't help the situation....still no reds.  I installed new printer drivers....no fix.  All of the other colors work.  Do I need to throw away this printer?

  • Please help! My computer will print everything but shipping labels.

    I have always used this printer for shipping labels. All of a sudden, it will not. It will print everything but. No errror message, I have plenty of ink, nothing has changed. What is going on?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?  What program are you printing the shipping labels from? Does the printer go through the motions but the label is blank or does it simply ignore the print job?

  • 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.
    Thanks,

  • How do you print the calander from an iPad to a wireless HP6520. I can print everything else.

    Hiw do you print the calander from an iPad to a wifi connected HP 6520. I can print everything else. Printer and wifi both working fine.

    It's not meant to support that. You can do a work around by taking a screen cap and then printing that. To take a screen cap push down the home and sleep button at the same time (like you'd press down a camera shutter)
    The screen will flash white and you'll hear a camera sound. You'll find the screen cap in your photos app.

  • 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.

  • LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works.  Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction.  Any suggestions?  I'm desperate.......

    Go to the HP web site and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet.

    I tried 4 times to download this software for the HP 4350 TN laserjet printer and it says Incomplete download and comes within 2 or 3 seconds of the complete download and it will not finish it.  It does it for EVERY Program on this page under this printer. When you try to finish the download, it will tell you that it can't download this program.  WHY, I need the printer drivers for my new printer!!

  • Printing trademark symbol in HP laserjet printer

    Hi,
    I need to print trademark symbol (TM) from HP laserjet 4250 printer.
    Since the SAP driver/device type does not have the character set containing tm symbol,
    I am getting a # sign in the output.
    I need to configure a custom character set with the symbol and for which I need the hex code of the trademark symbol corresponding to the specific HP laserjet printer.
    I contacted HP global support but they could not tell me the hex code for a tm symbol in their printers.
    Can anyone of you please let me know the code value or guide me where can I get it?
    Regards,

  • HP LASERJET PRINTER 1020 PLUS

    Dear Sir / Madam
                  I WANT TO USE HP1020 PLUS LASERJET PRINTER   WITH B& R PC . PC HAVING TWO FLASH CARD EACH HAVING MEMORY OF 1GB.  WINDOW XP EMBEDDED SERVICE PACK-3
      How much memory will be covered during printer driver installation.

    Hello kavyasuresh,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Thank you for posting your question regarding the LaserJet 1020 Plus and what system requirement are needed to install. I was able to find some information to answer this for you. It would appear that on XP the printer needs at least 128 MB of RAM and 150 MB of free disk space.
    To view the information your self, it is available here: Product Specifications. 
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Hp laserjet printer p11o2w attention light in on continousl​y

    the attention light on my laserjet printer p1102w is on continouly (there is nopaper blockage) and the printer will not print. The printer is 2 years old.

    Hi @flur ,
    I see by your post that the attention light is continuously on and you unable to print anything. I can help you.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    You can find the blinking light pattern in this document and the solutions appropriate to the pattern you are experiencing. Blinking Lights on the HP LaserJet Pro P1102, P1102w, P1106, and P1108 Printers.
    Reseat the toner and remove the paper from the paper tray and reseat the paper again.
    Remove the USB cable temporarily and try and print a hardware self test on the printer. If using a USB connection.
    Were you able to print the test page, or is the attention light still on?
    When you turn the printer on or open the top cover, does the printer make a noise?
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
    What are the toner levels?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Wireless)
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
