Issues networking a Color LaserJet 1518in

I built a home network using a DELL desktop system running XP as the hub with 4 external harddrives, a HP scanner and 2 HP printers connected to the hub. Everthing shows up on my network and I can access all of the external drives as well as the the printers from the laptops which run Vista home & Vista Business. While I can "see" the color laserjet 1518in under the printers on my network, I get anything to print, not even a test page.
I have cycled through the trouble shooting options on windows and I ran HPs "Print & Scan Doctor" on both computers. At the end of the process I am told that everything should be working.
The color printer is connected to the desktop through a usb cable; sharing is enabled; both systems show the same virtual port connection; permissions show allow under security.
If there is something else I am missing which I must be, I would appreciate knowing what so that I can resolve this issue.

Hi wwlphotos,
Hook the printer up directly to one of the computer using the USB cable, and let me know if you can print?

Network HP Color LaserJet 2600n is killing us!

We have a network printer, HP Color LaserJet 2600n and we cannot install it. We deploy Windows 2008 R2 (Virtual Server) printer server over IPP. Users we connect to http://servername/printserver and it will list all network printers. All other HP and Xerox printers working fine, except this 2600n printer won't work. I tried both 2600n driver and HP Universal Driver. Printer drivers installed on the server will have 'package false' for 2600n driver, and it seems installing good for the Universal driver.
However, as soon as users map to the printer, the print spool service will be killed. I did a test page directly on the server and it said test page sent successfully, but guess what, nothing coming out! I verified printer IPs, gateway, name all correct, I also update the firmware but no help. This printer was working fine in Novell environment, we just migrated our printers to MS platform.
Anyone experiences this and has a solution? Thanks.
PS. We have Intel CPUs, not ADM, so no compatible issues here.

I realize this is an old post, but hopefully it will help someone else. Also had this issue. The problem is that the 2600n wont work on 2008R2. I've tried every driver I can think of. The one driver that is causing your problem is the device specific 2600n driver. You need to remove that driver entirely from the server and the client and try something else. Good luck getting this printer to work. Looks like we are going to end up replacing them.

Adding a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600N

Hi All;
I have an HP Color Laserjet 2600N that is connected to my home network. I assigned the printer a static IP, subnet, and GW address. I can ping the printer from both macs (New Macbool pro and an older G5 system), as well as my windows PC. The printer is connected to both the PC via USB as well as cat5 to the HP jetdirect card. I can even HTTP to the management portion of the printer from both macs. When I try adding the printer as an IP printer, the status view on the mac shows up as printer ready, but I cannot print a test page or anything. I even tried setting up to print to the PC as a print server and the mac sees it but doesnt print. I have tried the generic drivers, HP drivers, etc...An I missing something?

Hi inglewood,
Can I suggest re-configuring the ToolBox.
Opening the HP Color LaserJet 2600nToolboxStart the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox using either of the following methods:
Click Start , Programs or All Programs (Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003), HP , HP Color LaserJet 2600n , and then HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox from the Microsoft Windows desktop.
Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 2600n toolbox icon on the Microsoft Windows desktop.
HP Toolbox TabsHP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox contains two independent windows which can be toggled back and forth: HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs and the Device Settings window category tabs.
HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox window category tabs:
Status tab
Troubleshooting tab
Alerts tab
Documentation tab
From here you should be able to configure the frequency of report printing.
Thanks.
I work for HP.

HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf

I have OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) and we have networked HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MFP. I have been successful to set up printer with computer but has not been able to set up a scanner. As far as I remember while I configured in windows there was PCL at the end of the printer/ device that let use scanner, however I do not see that with Mac. All I see is attached below. Can you suggest me how to get this scanner get working on Mavericks?

Indeed, scanning is no longer supported on OS X 10.8 or 10.9, you may find this information within the following chart:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/mostViewedDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=359...
I would suggest giving VueScan a try, it seems to support your scanner with no need for additional drivers:

Printing PDF to HP Color Laserjet 2550Ln result in Red images

When printing PDF documents to my networked HP Color LaserJet 2550Ln, usually the embedded images are covered in a red hue. This was already the case with MacOSX 10.4, but still continues with Leopard 10.5.2, using Bonjour. Printing the same document (also using Bonjour) via a windows machine (Windows XP SP2) results in a perfect copy.
Anyone an idea of the cause of this behaviour?
Regards,
Gerard

This works for me, because I'm tired of waiting for Adobe to find solutions: open your pdf document with Preview and print from there. It will print cleaner and faster than any Adobe application.

Cannot print pdfs to color laserjet 3800

We have a user here who cannot print pdfs to a networked hp color laserjet 3800. Everyone else can print pdfs to it and the user can print to other networke printers. Any ideas?

Maybe an update of the LJ driver on the user's system?

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - Network connect on Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

For a temporary fix, I've connect an HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni for network use by my department. The printer is printer over the network, but it is not printing in color - just black and white/grayscale. The demo page prints in color, but nothing sent over the network will print in color. Is there a fix for this?

Hello SoonerGirl, and welcome to the HP Forums.
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!

HP Color Laserjet CP1215 on XP home network will not print from second computer.

Win XP SP3 home network with two computers and one HP Color Laserjet CP1215 printer(USB) that is shared.   Computer one prints just fine, but second computer cannot print.
Print job goes to the queue and says "printing" and stays there for about two minutes and then says "error - printing" and then I have to delete the print job from the print queue.
Downloaded latest CP1215 print driver and installed it to second computer, added printer just fine. No errors until the print job enters the queue. Downloaded the CP1215 Diagnostic Utility, but it will not work on second computer. Have not tried it on first computer when job errors.

The Firewalls are disabled and from my laptop you can view all of the shared
Folders on the Desktop with the CP1215 attached via USB.
When I issue the print from my laptop that is on the same network, you see the
print file show up in the CP1215 print queue of the Desktop the CP1215
is USB attached to and then disappears about 15 seconds later. Here is
how it appears on in the Desktop CP1215 Print Queue before it disappears
Doc Name    Status    Owner Pages    Size    Submitted    Port
E-mail print Printing      Guest        1      547 KB     2:00pm 08/26/09      USB003
I've also download/installed the latest drivers. When I reinstall the CP1215 on my laptop from
the Desktop, the "PRINT TEST PAGE works from the Laptop but then all print commands after
that do not work.
I see from my Google search I'm not the only one having this problem
ANY IDEAS what to try next?

Unable to network print to HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to Windows PC

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to print on my network to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n that is connected and shared on a Windows PC. I have carefully followed the instruction posted on http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html and I am still unable to print. I made sure the printer name on the remote PC has no spaces. After I enter (on my Mac) my user name and password to access the user account on the remote Windows PC, I get the following error message:
Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name. Error: 256
Please help! Thank you!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Windows PC is running the Windows XP Firewall, the Avast Antivirus, and Windows Defender. I have deactivated all these applications and the issue persists.
I called Apple today (I am still in my 90-day free support since this is a new MacBook Pro). After some basic troubleshooting with a tier one rep, I was transfered to a tier 2 rep who told me after making sure that I was following the right steps to try to add the printer, that since the HP LaserJet 2600n printer is connected to a Windows XP computer, my set-up is not supported by Apple and declined continuing troubleshooting the issue. According to this person Apple will only support network printing when the printer is directly attached to a hub/router.

HP Color LaserJet 2600n issues

If someone could assist me I would truly appreciate it.
I have an HP Color LaserJet 2600n that has been installed on my network (I inherited it 2 years ago) and has been working without any issues.
We recently moved our print server to a new server and configured the printer on the network, along with 2 other copiers/printers. Everything has been working fine for a few days. Then all of a sudden no one can print, all of the print spoolers on the XP Pro workstations have stopped. A short while later they will restart again (color printer not included). I uninstalled the HP 2600n from the server and everyone can print perfectly fine on the two other printers. No issues.
Here's where it gets frustrating....
I download new drivers from HP website and install on the server (Windows 2003). I do not share it yet, but do several (20 or 30 test prints - from notepad, websites, test page, etc) and there are no issues. I then share the printer and install the printer on a workstation (XP Pro) and test the same - 20 to 30 times. Everything works great. (Keep in mind the workstation I am logged into is mine and I have Administrator rights).
I go to a users workstation (XP Pro) has Power User rights on the machine but not the network they are an average user. I install the printer, not an issue there. I try to print a test page and the print spooler stops. If I look on the server you can see the job sitting there. If I restart the print spooler, the job prints. I tested this on 3 other workstations, logged in as users and the same thing happens. If I log into all of the 4 workstations as Administrator, the job prints without an issue.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to resolve this?
Thank you!

Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable. I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99% installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out. I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
1. Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
2. Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up? Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ? I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase. What to do if so?
3. Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation? If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

Hi @Marvalina1968,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
First to answer your questions:
It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
Please take a look through the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

Trying to print to Color Laserjet CP2025n from OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro over the network...

Basically, the configuration and drive status all seem OK. But when I try to print something from Adobe Reader, nothing happens after I click print other than the dialog dissappearing. There are no indications of error either. And when I bring up the printer queue, it is completely empty, as if the document was not even sent to it.
I am seeing HP Color Laserjet CP2025n (F4F285) in the Printer selection, as well as in the System Preferences. And from System Preferences, it shows up as "Idle, last used" with a green dot. I have attached full System Diagnostics, Bluetooth Diagnostics (although, I believe this is network'd over the LAN), and the System Report of my Mac Pro. You can see these @
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2wbE3EVNff3WUNQR2RPTjRmejA&usp=sharing
The other week it printed fine, but it I think I recall seeing two options in the Printer selection box. Now it only shows one, but again, the drivers indicate that everything is alright. I can even view the amount of ink remaining?

Hi @jahburnit
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

XP pro-64bit issue printing to a color laserjet cp3800dn

Need help troubleshooting this issue:
User is unsuccessful in printing to a Color LaserJet cp3800dn directly from an IP address.
I've tried to install the 64bit version of the driver - that didn't work
The version of XP is SP3.
Fortunately the user can print to this printer as a network shared resource. But when I tried to assign printer by IP address--because user wants to configure double-sided printing--i get the message "local downlevel document" failed to print. And I would have to cancel it from the print que.
I've tried to change the printer configuration to "print directly to printer" but seem to dislike that option because it freezes after selecting that option and try to print.
I've also tried to restart the computer once after installing HP printer drives and after making modifications to printer preferences, no luck.
Anyone encountered this issue before and have suggestions?

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.
