Initial duplex setup for HP Color Laserjet 2605DN

Once duplexing is set up on the HP 2605DN Color Laser Printer, duplexing is easy.
After reinstalling, it is problematic to remember how or find instructions for initial
duplex setup.

Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
But may be you have done this...
Bests,
Álvaro

  • Duplex Printing for HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Setup

    How can I get my duplex printing to show up/work from the printer pop-up menu. Have installed all HP CP4005dn drivers. Installed the printer with all installable options. Printer works fine except no duplex print options. Have followed Mac Help's "Displaying a printer's special features when you print" to the letter. Nada. Have UNinstalled the printer. Downloaded all Mac updates. Downloaded all HP updates. Have reinstalled the CP4005 printer with intallable options. Still no duplex print options. Where is the miss? Why can't I get the duplex to function?

  • Printer Drivers for HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

    I just added a Time Capsule to my network and my printer was working fine this morning. Now Lion says it is not connected and when I attempt to download the software from Apple it says it's not available at this time. Any ideas where to go, because HP

    Figured it out. After deleting the printer iMac only recognized another printer/scanner and set it as default on network. Changed settings and recovered the LaserJet printer.

  • Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

    Hi everyone,  I'm hoping someone can help.  I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7.  When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas.  So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
    I am ready to throw this out the window.  I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha.  Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically.  I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
    Thanks in advance.

    Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows:  go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn going offline for no apparent reason. Need help!

    There are four of us with these printers in our finance department.  Two PC's are running Windows Vista and two Windows 7.  The printers are networked but installed locally on each PC.  Routinely all of these printers will go offline at the same time and there seems to be nothing that helps.  Our IT's answer is to buy four new printers but these printers work great when they're working.  There has to be a solution to this mystery out there somewhere.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Hi JThorne,
    The HP Color LaserJet 2605dn is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
    Here is the link to the Commercial Laserjet board:

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

    When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again.  I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it.   It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from.   I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly.  It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

  • Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

    I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server.  I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers.  Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer.  I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing.  Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

  • Color Laserjet 2605dn printer with printing envelopes correctly

    I am having problems with my HP Color Laserjet computer which is not printing envelopes from the computer which has Windows 8.1 installed on it. It will print out letters just fine now, but had problems with that previously, using WordPerfect Suite. The printer is a Color Laserjet 2605dn, which is connected to my home network. The same problem seem to be happening on my mini laptop which is running Windows XP.  I just fixed the printing problem on my windows 7 computer and had to print my envelopes using it. The HP Mini Laptop use to print out my envelopes just fine previously, but have the same problem. On the Pavillion Sleekbook, which is the newest I have the special print software from HP which lets me print paperwork where the others are not using it. I would appreciate any help with this problem. The setup isn't correct and the envelopes don't print out correctly like they did previously.

    Hi semco72057,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

  • Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
    I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I get errors like:
    "unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
    "unable to send data to printer"
    "printer not connected"
    I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
    deleting and re-adding my printer.
    reseting my printing system
    Installing Guenprint.
    re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
    None seem to correct the problem.
    This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
    I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, a brody.
    Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
    I thought the issue may have been resolved.
    I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
    Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
    Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
    In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2605dn - won't print in color

    I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn printer and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7.  Our IT dept. installed an updated driver (HP Universal Printing PCCCCL 6) but now my printer will not print in color nor can I find a setting where I can adjust it.
    I also cannot duplex but found helpful post that I will use to try and correct that issue.  If you can help me I would appreciate it.  IT seems to busy to help and my work involves a fair amount of graphics so I need my color.
    Thank you!!!

    This post may be old but someone might use it later.  Right click on the printer and go to properties.  On the General tab go to printing preferences.  (Windows 7- double click printer, click Adjust print options.)  Advanced tab - expand Graphic, under Image Color Management change: ICM method to ICM handled by printer or host system.  Apply and close out the windows.  Run a test print to make sure it works. 

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn prefers Macs over PCs!

    I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn on my home network, with two Macs (G5, MacBook) and two PCs running Windows XP Pro. I used Bonjour to set up the LaserJet on the Windows machines. The printer has been working well for the past 4 months until just this past week, when the Windows machines just stopped printing. In the system tray a printer icon appears with a red question mark and a bubble that says "This document failed to print" along with a few more details.
    I've tried the usual (power off and on printer, power cycle DSL modem/router, uninstalling the printers and reinstalling) without success. I've searched the Microsoft and HP forums. In short, I've spent a few hours troubleshooting. The funny thing is that the Macs print fine. My kludge/fix is to set up the G5 to "share" the LaserJet and when I create a new printer on the Windows machines using that ("LaserJet 2605 @ G5") it works.
    Just wondering if anyone else has come across this weirdness.

    I am so glad it helped. I found it while trying to figure out why my Vista box will only print 2/3 of a page then it locks up hopelessly. I managed to finally get my XP box to print today with help from the forums too! If you come across anything about my Vista problem please look for that item and post. I'd really appreciate it!

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn Printing only Black and white

    I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry. However the Black cartridge has over 2,000 pages of ink in it and the printer will not let me prink only Black and White. It seems the color cartridges must also have ink in them in order for the printer to print. Does anyone know a work around so that I can print with the Black Cartridge and not purchase the color cartridges?
