HP2550n Color Laser Jet won't print colors correctly in Win 7

This printer is an oldie but a goodie, and I don't want to buy a new one, just because I upgraded to Windows7 Pro 64 bit.
I tried the Unviersal Driver, then the Post Script version, which is better than PCL6, but still not perfect like it was with XP Pro. Still have pronblems printing colors from Acrobat XI documents - color pictures just print all in soid red. MS office docs print fine.
Is there not a driver that will make this printer work right in Win 7 Pro ???

My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

Hi,
If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.

Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

Good Afternoon,
I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue. I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches. On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.
I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it. The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac. Any suggestions?

Hi Clark
There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up.
From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print! I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12. I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version. It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened." I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck. Any other ideas?

I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

Mac Lion OS print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & business inkjet 2200

I just brought a Macbook Air (13in) with the new OS Lion. I however have a HP Color Laserjet 1600 and Business Inkjet 2200 that I love, but can't find a printer driver for either. So, my questions are, does anyone know if:
1) there is going to be a mac lion os print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & Business Inkjet 2200; or
2) is there another way to print to them (i.e., the 2200 uses HPA instead of PS and the 1600 uses PCL)?

Any suggestions re correct driver for windows 7 and HP 4600dn?

Color Laser Jet 5500dn Leaves Line on Every Print

1. Product Name and Number - HP Color Laser Jet 5500dn
2. Operating System installed - NA, But Mac OSX Lion
3. Error message (if any) - NA
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred - None
Hi Everyone,
Every time we print from the printer we get a faint line across the headed of the page about one inch from the top. The line appears even when we "print" a blank page. The line appease on both sides of the page when printing single or double sided. It seems to fade when we print a lot of pages. We have changed the toner and cleaned the Fuser Input.
Any help would be great!
Thanks so much,
The Timestar Team

HP 4600n Color Laser Jet

When powering up the HP 4600n color laser jet printer, it stops at 64mb************* What does this mean

It sounds like it may be an issue with the memory module, have you tried doing a hard reset on the printer ?
Thanks!

New Color Laser Jet CP2025 Running EXTREMELY slow on network

We just purchased a Color Laser Jet CP2025 Running EXTREMELY slow on our network!!

You can see if it is a network problem by seeing how resoponsive the EWS is- type the IP address of the printer into a web browser and see if the screen refreshes quickly as is should.
Then see if it is a file problem- try printing a simple text file from notepad.
Not sure which driver you are using, but I have the bes tluck with PCL- download the latest from the web. If you are already using PCL, you could try the postscript driver.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

Won't print color

1) I was given this printer as a gift about four years ago. The first time I got the "Low Ink"message, I replaced fhe cartridges. Now it always tells me I'm low on ink, even after I've installed new cartidges.
2) Just installed a new set of cartridges which, as you know, are exorbitantly expensive. And now it won't print color.

Hello CaptianFly,
May i know the printer model# / description to assist you better ?

Laser Jet CP 1525 prints everything too dark. All cartridges OK. How can I lighten the print?

Laser Jet CP 1525 prints everything on paper too dark. All cartridges OK. How can I lighten up the print? Where can I adjust brightness?

Checked with the support service ... Cannot be adjusted. Suggested solution: try different driver; Did not work, no change. Thank you, HP. Once my cartridges run out, a new printer will be bought. Not HP. Promise.

I am running Windows365 and I can't get my laser jet 2015 to print. It is labeled as "offline".
