I am trying to restrict color printing on my laserjet 4700dn for my network

Here is my issue.  I am trying to restrict color printing on my Laserjet 4700dn for my network.  I have configured it for "color if Allowed" and all works perfectly.  I was then going to allow certain users to print in color so I started by configuring my username and allow color.  Every time I print it is still in black and white.  I then decided to look at the color usage log and what I found would explain why.  The color usage log only shows the username of one user on my network.  All other jobs just show the date and number of pages.  So my issue is why can my printer not see all the other users and how do I configure it to do so.  Also why would only that one user show in the log.  It also does not show any applications but it does for that one user.  Is there something else that needs to be installed on the computers for it work?

  • Upgraded to Yosemite now print to HP Laserjet P3015 on the network

    Have been using the office HP Laserjet P3015 with my MacBook running Mavericks with no issues.
    As soon as I upgraded to Mavericks, cannot print:
    First, I tried the existing printer configuration and got nothing as it showed the document stuck in the queue.
    Next, tried deleting the printer to add again.  The Mac does not see the printer on the network anymore.  So I tried the IP address method of adding the printer and specifying the IP address of the printer and the exact printer model.  
    Here, the error message was "Unable to verify the printer on your network.  Unable to connect to <IP address> due to an error.  Would you still like to create the printer?  I clicked Continue and the printer appeared on the printer list.
    Again, when printing, the job gets stuck in the queue and says the job is "Printing - The printer is in use"
    Note that before trying all of this, I tried resetting the printer system, rebooting, and then installing the latest HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.

  • X61 won't print to HP Laserjet 5200tn

    Hello.  I work in a college.  A user wants to print to the 5200tn next to his office but cannot with his new X61 tablet.  We tested other computers and they print fine to this printer, but in testing another X61 tablet no prints would be produced.  Pinging the printer is fine from the tablets, the install of the printer goes fine, drivers are updated, so it appears everything is o.k. but for some reason X61 tablets won't print to a Laserjet 5200tn in our network.
    Any ideas?

    believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

  • Rundll32 error when trying to print in colour, or trying to change/configure print settings.

    Hey there,
    I just got a new Windows 8.1 computer.  I could print fine for a few days with my HP CP1215 in color.  Then I changed it default to grayscale, and when I went to change it back, it told me the driver is not installed.  I reinstalled the driver, and went to Properties, and it says RUNDLL32 ERROR.
    Then it says the driver isn't installed.
    And then I start all over again.
    Please help.

    Hi Divechickie,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are getting a error when trying to open the printer properties on Win 8.1 after reinstalling the printer driver. I will be happy to help you.
    If you are using the Windows built in driver then I would download and run the HP Color Laserjet Plug and Play Package. HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer Drivers.
    If that doesn't work you could do a system restore back to when everything was working properly.
    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • 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/softwareDownloa​dIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&​...

  • Type 4 printer driver shows color is available when printer is not a color printer

    I am working on migrating to a new Windows Server 2012 print server.  I am trying to use the new version 4 printer drivers whenever possible.  I have noticed an interesting thing.  Here is an example.  When I added a new printer, an HP
    LaserJet P3005 black and white printer using the HP LaserJet P3004/P3005 PCL6 Class Driver, under "features" it reports Color as "Yes."  Now the printer is not color and I have noticed this on all of the other class 4 drivers for black
    and white printers.  Am I missing something or is this supposed to be this way?  The printers do print fine, I just wanted to know why this is showing up like this.

    Really a question for HP since it is their software.
    BUT:  A class driver can be used for a wide range of devices.  If the core class driver HP added for the P3005 is also used by devices that support color then the driver itself DOES support color even when the device does not.   There
    are a couple ways HP could code around this.  I do see that HP's PS version of the P3005 does not have a color option in Printing Defaults. 
    I have seen this type of issue from other vendors on previous operating systems, it's not just HP nor anything specific to class drivers although a class driver would expose this when the software to constrain the feature has not been added by the vendor.

  • HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP prints colors looking like 3D while single colors print fine.

    HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP prints colors looking like 3D while single colors print fine.  I have tried several calibrations with no change.  I have reset printer to factory default with no success. 

    Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.  
    Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215 - Color printing - Page prints yellow background

    Good morning --- I don't believe I have posted to this forum before, so I hope someone can help me solve this issue. 
    My CP1215 color LaserJet -
    printing pref set to color-
    printing a document with colored icons, etc. or color photograph
    Results: the "background" or what should be the white area, is yellow - bright yellow.  
    If I switch printing pref to B/W, I get a black/white document or photo.  Of course, no color.
    I have replaced the yellow toner cartridge (HP product) TWICE, the second one just this morning.
    There are NO error messages.
    Tried running the cleaning tool; disconnect/reconnect, etc.  No luck.
    I gave up trying to solve this issue 2 years ago, and have kept the pref set to black/white with no tech issues.
    Now, however, I have the need to print in color, and I would really like to figure out how to correct this problem.
    This printer is a monster - ~30 lbs or more, and I would rather not have to haul it to a computer shop or ship it.
    If anyone out there has had this problem, please let me know how/if you were able to resolve it.  Many thanks.
    Susan - Threecats

    Hi Threecats
    I understand when you print in color you are getting a yellow background.
    I have included a document for troubleshooting the all yellow background printing.
    Print out a configuration page from Solution eight first. This document  will provide steps for cleaning and calibrating the printer. The Print quality troubleshooting page will identify the print cartridge that is causing the issue.
    Let me know the results when you compare it to the one in the document and if the background printed yellow again. Also the Print quality troubleshooting page results.
    What kind of paper are you using?

  • HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer with Apple iPad & iPhones

    I have an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer that I've successfully used as an "air print" device to print from both iPhones and iPads.  For some unknown reason, I can't print from iPhones and iPads anymore.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Is this a result of Apple most recent iOS upgrades?  Everything was working with iOS 6.0.x and seems to have stopped working with iOS 6.1.x.
    I "think" I'm try to determine what I need to upgrade (printer firmware or iOS device firmware . . . or both).
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hp laserjet 4500 color printer connection questions

    I've got a HP 4500 color laser printer which I bought in 2000.  Model # 4084A  Serial number jphcf07074.  I used it at my business on a network with a ethernet card connection.  The business is closed, and the ethernet card has died.  I am trying to connect this printer to my computers at home, but they do not have the connections for the standard printer cable.  Is there a converter to USB or other idea on how to connect?   My laptop runs on XP and my desktop runs Vista. Thanks.

    There are USB to Parallel convertors, but results vary greatly and I have not seen a model that is reported to work well in Vista.
    Your best bet may be to replace the network card, you might give eBay a look.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 slow to select for color prints

    I just installed Officejet Pro 8000 and immediately noticed how slowly the printer is selected in printer options box when I am doing color printing. It takes about 30 sec-1 minute to finalize the selection of this as my printer for the job. I have a networked color laser jet and a networked b&w laser jet also installed that are immediately selected when I choose them from the list.
    I have been testing this in Word 2007 and have noticed that when I select the officejet, the bar at the bottom of the word screen says "connecting to printer" - this seems to be the source of the slowness. I have the latest driver installed and I do not have this problem when printing regular b&w docs on this printer.
    Is there a problem here or is this normal <SLOW> color print operation?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
    I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
    Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
    I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

    Running on OSx 10.6.8 using a new HP Officejet 6000 printer. How can I get to within 1/8" on all sides of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Images and copy cuts off at 5/8" at bottom. HP says it's a mac problem, not an HP problem. I tried every combination of print settings. Nothing has solved the problem. Have I missed something?

    Yes you are unfortunately you as the consumer are caught in the middle. I totally disagree with what HP told you, they supply the print drivers to Apple, Apple doesn't write printer drivers that I know of. Look in the print settings to see if you can go below 5/8", I know I can with my HP printers (Laserjet 1012, Color Laserjet 2600N, OfficeJet 7410 & OfficeJet 7700 series) so I'm sure the issue is specific to the OJ6000 series.
