HT1341 I can't add an HP color LaserJet 2550L printer to Mac 10.8.5

I'm trying to connect my 15" MacBook Pro early 2011 (MacOSX10.8.5)
to HP color LaserJet 2550L
using USB
The cable works fine on Windows PC.
No printer can be added at all. This is a Bug in Mac OSX Lion

Read the user manual that came w/the printer and/or contact HP Support.

Adhvaresh,
"attach" is a word we usually use for plugging in cables - but I don't think that is what you mean.
If you want a driver for that model laserjet, I suggest you use the foo2hp set of drivers. Install Foomatic and ghostscript from here:

Then, install foo2HP from:

Can I add a second ATI 4870 to my 2009 Mac Pro?

1. Can I add a second ATI 4870 to my 2009 Mac Pro? Sorry if posted already, I searched and Googled and could not find it.
2. What is the general consensus on the EVGA GTX285? Will this out perform the 4870?
I read somewhere that the ATI needs additional power from the power supply and the GTX does not? Is this true? If this is the case are there extra power supply connectors for an additional 4870 (hence my first question).
The GTX has dual DVI out connector and this is my preferred solution to get 2 x 30" Cinema Displays.
Thanks in advance,
MIke

1. Can I add a second ATI 4870 to my 2009 Mac Pro? Sorry if posted already, I searched and Googled and could not find it.
No. Each ATI 4870 needs two auxiliary power connectors. There are only two in the Mac Pro.
I read somewhere that the ATI needs additional power from the power supply and the GTX does not? Is this true?
No. Both use two per card.

You can use an adapter to connect a second 30" to the Mini DisplayPort

(The latest adapters have new firmware, and shouldn't have problems.)
If you only need two displays, stick with one graphics card.

Try your luck with the Magic Eight Ball. That will give you just as reliable an answer as you will get here.

Hi,
You have to go to the next page, first page only lists 12 items. Anyway, HP supplies larger size papers for Laser printers. I don't know the reason behind:
http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryListingView?catalogId=10051&categoryId=88331&l...
I don't print photos at home, cost too much but for testing, I normally print 4 photos on one sheet (A4) and cut in 4.

Networking a HP color laserjet 2600n printer on windows 7 (64-bit)?

Hello,
Have an HP Color Laserjet 2600n printer and are running Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit). I installed >> HP Color LaserJet 2600n Plug and Play Package off of HP website [ http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=446154&p... ]. The drivers work fine if you connect via USB port but unfortunately there's no way to connect via network. Can anyone give me guidance on how to connect the 2006n via a network on windows 7 (64-bit)?
Thanks

Have you plugged the printer into your router and does it have a proper IP address? If so:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer

I really love my HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer but haven't been able to successfully install it in my brand new MacBook Air 1.7 despite several attempts.
I have downloaded the correct Firmware Upgrade 20120928 v2.4 from HP Drivers web page. Unlocked RFU to ON position and installed the firmware. Added HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer via USB, as required and my MacBook correctly identifies it as such. Though the driver I have chosen is HP Color LaserJet 2605 since the one for 1600 is not available in the database. The printer responds positively during the upgrade but later does not print. I can see the print command being transmitted to the printer but it stays dead.
Please help and let me know stepwise how to do it correctly.

Just upgraded my printer to HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw.... Problem solved.

"waiting for Color Laserjet 2550L to become available" when trying to print

I have been successfully printing to a Color Laserjet 2550L for over 4 years yet suddenly within the last 2 weeks each time I try to print I get this message from the printer window: "waiting for printer to become available"? Oddly enough, if I power the printer off and then back on the printer usually (although not always) prints whatever has not been completed in the queue. I have tried using different USB cables, deleted and then added this printer again ... not sure what else to try?
I was messing around with my network in trying to get another Color LJ to work but don't see how that could affect this printer since this one is running direct via USB and seems to be getting the info just not printing without the power down? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

OK, that's strange. Apple and HP list it as being supported by Snow Leopard here.
Can you run a self-test from the front of the printer?
Try downloading updated software from Apple here.

Hp color LaserJet 3500n printer driver

I just got a new iMac and have marveled at how EASY everything's been ... so far. Of course, Murphy just couldn't resist and I can't get my oldie but goodie hp color LaserJet 3500n printer to print.
I clicked + in the Print & Fax System Preferences. It found the printer. Then, the automatic driver selector chose hp color LaserJet 2.0.2. Well, that didn't work.
I went to the hp site and the driver they have is OLD, but I tried it anyway. No luck.
Any ideas short of a new printer?

Try the three-part hpijs driver from here:

HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer drivers location

Where on my hard drive has the ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win32-en.exe file from the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer support page installed the needed drivers?

Hi @zenny ,
I can help you with locating the drivers on the computer.
Here are the instructions for running the Plug and Play drivers.
Click the Download only button and save this file.
Double click on the downloaded file. The self-extracting process will appear.
Click to accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next.
Driver installation begins. Driver files are pre-installed during this process.
A screen pops up to prompt to connect the USB cable. Insert the USB cable.
Device is connected, waiting for PnP to finish installing driver.
Click Finish to complete software installation.
They extract to the temp folder on the computer.
Press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line.Type in %temp%. The folder should start with 7z.....
Depending which operating system you are using, I would suggest downloading the Full Feature Software and Drivers if you are still having issues with the Plug and Play drivers.
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP Color LaserJet 2550ln printer displaying error massage

I was trying to print a page of tickets (6) containing graphics, but my hp color laserjet 2550ln printer printed a page with the following message:
ERROR: limitcheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: showpage
STACK:
(r)
( Sys / Start )
( Sys / Start )

Found this on the discussion posted 06-03-2010 01:55 PM It worked for me.
I just went through this fix yesterday. I can't remember where I found it on hp.com, though. Here it is:
Turn printer on.
On your printer, press the Menu button
Press 2 (on the fax dial pad)
Press the right arrow (next to Enter button) until you arrive at "High Speed USB.
Press Enter
Press right arrow to select "Off."
Press Enter.
Press Enter again.
Printer will then reboot. I used to get this error occasionally with Windows XP. I wish I would have taken the time to fix this a long time ago!

HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer - Vertical Yellow Band printing on every page

For the last several weeks whenever I print from my HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer the pages print with a vertical yellow band on the right hand side of each page. I checked the supplies status and it says each ink cartridge has plenty of ink left so I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this yellow band. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the printer's hardware (inside roller perhaps)?
Any insight would be most appreciated.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer Wired Connectivity and have USB simultaneously?

Hello to all;
Thank you in advance.
I have a HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer.
The question, can I use ethernet connection and have USB simultaneously? Ethernet is faster, right?
Currently, I have the printer connected to network via Ethernet Wired Connectivity through an Apple Aiirport Extreme base station. I have several Mac's all operating under 10.9.1, and two PC's (one is WIN XP, and the other WIN 8.1), which all operate fine with 2008 wired/wireless technology. I know what a dinosour. I am in the process of upgrading the household to current wireless technology with a NetGear AC1900 Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router (Model: R7000), 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit, with two USB ports ((1) 2.0 and (1) 3.0) . I connected the printer directly into the Netgrar router, and it wouldn't print, ran setup through the Mac and Win computers and still wouldnt pring. One of the reasons that sold me on the Netgear router was the ReadySHARE® USB access—Wirelessly access & share. In order for me to utilize the ReadySHARE® feature is to connect via a USB cable. Sob story, the longest USB cable off the shelf usually 16", and to reach where the printer is now, I need @25-28 feet of cable. Is ther a maximum length of USB that I can use with out suffering loss of speed/functionality?
Again thank you for your time
