LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install  Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP. 

Resolved, not solved. 
I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

  • Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer

    Hi
    Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer
    Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
    Best Regards

    Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
    Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
    We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
    Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
    Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

  • I can't print my calendar, and I can't install the new Iphoto??

    I can't print my calendar, I need to update my Iphoto. But I can't install the new Mac OS, I have the version 10.6.8 and my macbook is too old to deal my the latest one. What can I do to print my calendar If I can't install the new version of Iphoto?
    Please help me!
    Steve

    My calendar is done in IPhoto, it's a project you can get done in Iphoto and It's printed by apple and ship to your door. Useful, but not anymore because that's the message I received one I send when I buy the calendar.
    "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products."

  • Help with HP Laserjet 1220 network printer.

    I have an HP Laserjet 1220 connected via USB to my old G4 running OS 10.2 in my home office. I have a MacBook now running 10.7.4. Both computers are on my wireless network using on a Linksys E1000. When my MacBook was running 10.4 I had no problems printing to my HP printer. Once I upgraded my MacBook to 10.6 and eventually now to 10.7.4, I can no longer connect to my HP printer. The only way I can print from my MacBook is to connect to my HP Laserjet 1220 via USB. I have tried many times to set up my printer, but no success. Can anyone help me? Many thanks.

    10.2 is very very old. Alternate solutions:
    1. Replace the Linksys Router with an Airport Extreme, plug printer into USB port on router.
    2. Keep your Linksys but add an Airport Express which can join your WiFi and share the printer. Or buy a cheaper print server http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Networking-Accessories/Wireless-Print-Servers/abcat0 503006.c?id=abcat0503006
    3. Buy a new printer with WiFi built in.
    All three options mean you don't need to keep the G4 powered on to print wirelessly from the MacBook Pro.

  • Laserjet 2550n only printing in yellow

    My HP color laserjet 2550n no longer prints in full color + black. I've removed and re-instered ecah ink cartridge and there is no indication that I'm low on toner. I've also unplugged the printer and  disconnected the usb connection. I Let the printer rest for a while and restarted it. The test print comes out in yellow only.
    I can print out documents in black, if I choose to make a black and white print only. 
    Any insight into this problem and its resolution is greatly appreciated. Thanks, annie

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

  • HP Laserjet 4250 Network Printer Connection Issues

    Hello
    We have a HP 4250 Laserjet network printer set up as a shared printer on our Windows Server 2003 32-bit print server.
    We are using the latest PCL 5e 32-bit drivers and have now added the PCL 5e 64-bit drivers to accomodate a new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Laptop. However, although it appears to pull the driver across properly, it fails to communicate and complete the installation with the following error:

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Network Printing

    Here we go again. I just upgraded the Windows 7 and I am still having the same network printing issues I encountered in Vista.
    1. It doesn't appear that there is a Windows 7 32-bit driver for this printer, am I wrong? I found the drivers page for this printer and it is VERY POORLY written. All I can surmise is that I should install a universal printer driver.
    2. The printer is going OFFLINE constantly. This printer is connected directly to my hub with a network cable. I have two other printers on my network, one is a Brother and another is a Canon. I have never ONCE experienced this issue with their printers. They just work like they are supposed to. Why does this continually happen with this HP printer. The only resolution I have found is to delete the printer and add it back. Every two days delete the printer and add it back, uggghhhh. Give me a break, don't you guys test this stuff before you sell it?
    As you can see I am not a happy camper.

    I'd like to add that the driver provided by HP doesn't allow duplex printing - one of the main reasons I purchased the 2605 printer.  Is there a duplex option available?
    Surely, my 2605 is still within its service life.  I would have expected HP to do a better job in the transistion to Windows 7 than throwing out some awful generic driver...
    Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista/WIndows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting guide as described here.

  • Hp laserjet p1102w networked printer shuts itself off

    Hi, I have a networked (not wireless network) printer, which is plugged into a computer that is always on. However, it shuts itself off randomly, even though I have set it to never do so. This means that users must walk over, turn the printer on, and occasionally restart their computers before they are able to print, which sometimes causes them to lose work. Occasionally the users will also receive a message like:
    The printer spooler on the server was not responding
    Which means someone must reset the server spooler before it will print. 
    I have also set it to go into power-save mode at the longest interval, one hour, but it frequently goes to sleep within minutes of a print-job, often sparking the above issues. 
    If there is anything that I can do further to keep from forcing the users to constantly turn it on, or to keep from having to restart the spooler every day, that would be great.
    I am working with machines using Windows 7 and 8, and with a Windows Server 2012.

    I got to this screen by going to the web interface by typing the printer's IP address into a web-browser's address bar.
    Sorry for the delayed response. I will do my best to assist you when I get home.

  • Trouble Printing Multiple Pages in Quick Succession - LaserJet P4015x - Networked Printer

    Hi,
    We are currently experiencing problems printing multiple pages in quick succession. We use a bespoke Microsoft Access Database to run our Sales Order Processing. As part of this software we print 3 part invoices, credit notes etc on different coloured paper. We do this by printing to different printer trays. Originally we tried automating the printer tray configuration through VBA code using one report and changing the print tray as part of the print process but were having problems with Microsoft Access freezing. As result we have resorted to printing 3 different reports straight after each other (using VBA code) but with each report specified to print from a different tray.
    We are current using tray 2 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper), tray 3 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper) & tray 4 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper).
    The current setup does print a copy from each tray and does give us what we want apart from the whole print process being very slow.
    The first page comes out from tray 2 at the normal speed you would expect from a network printer but then we start to have issues.
    Sometimes the second page from tray 3 will come out quickly but the third page (from tray 4) will be very slow or both pages 2 & 3 will be slow to print. There seems to be no pattern as to why these are slow. To make matters even worse sometimes it will print correctly and all three pages come out in very quick succession (although rarely).
    We are using modern PC's (running Windows XP SP 3 with 2GB RAM & 160GB HDD) and the print command is definately being sent to the printer in quick succession - as far as I can tell. I have tried to setting the printers to print through  the server and setting them up to print directly to the printer using the built in print server in P4015x.
    The printers are networked to a Windows SBS 2008 server with quad core processors and 16GB RAM.  The server is only used as a file and print server and is not under heavy load.
    I will also point out that I have tried printing to another HP printer (4250dtn) and it has exactly the same problems.
    I have removed advanced printing features from the printer driver setup on the client PC's but it does not seem to make any difference. I have also tried printing directly to the printer rather than spooling.
    I have updated the drivers to the latest one on the HP website and still no change.
    I would appreciate any ideas any one might have to sort the problem out.

    Did you ever solve this?
    I'm doing the exact same thing: three print outs in succession to a specific tray on a network shared printer and occasionally getting a MS Access printing error 2212 counldn't print you object.  Printer setup is saved with the reports one for each printer tray.
    I'm printing from bespoke MS Access 2002 application using runtime to HP LJ 4100 on Citrix terminal server session.
    Any info you have would be appreciated.

  • HP Deskjet F4280 - can print test page but nothing else on new Windows 7 laptop on home network

    I hope you can help me.  I have an HP Deskjet F4280 set up on my desktop computer running Windows Vista Home Premium 64x.  I've also got a home network on a D-Link Wireless N router.
    My new laptop is a Toshiba with Windows 7.  I can connect to the network no problem and can add the printer (attached to my desktop via USB) and can print the test page.  My problem is that I can't print any other documents.  When I check the print queue all it says is "spooling" and then after a few seconds the job just disappers from the queue.
    I connected the printer directly to the laptop and dowloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and it works fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all software on both computers.  I've spent hours trying different solutions I've found on this web-site and others...and nothing works!  I am very frustrated to say the least.
    Is there any way you can help me???

    Hi Lisamcgack, 
    Print sharing is a Microsoft supported application. Since the printer is working on the computers independently. Then this would be an issue between the operating systems. Check out the following Microsoft document on print sharing.

  • Network Printer (HP IP) broadcast to OSX 10.5.8 clients

    I administer a Middle School network and we have many models of HP printers active, including 4200's, 4250's, 4600's, and 2015's.  I have disabled Bonjour (mdns) on all of them internally, as well as IPX, AppleTalk, and DLC.  I have all but the 2015's and one 4200 setup on a OSX Snow Leopard server via LPD and share them out via Bonjour that way so I have more direct contol over printing.  Everything is working beautifully... except that when Leopard 10.5.8 clients attempt to add printers they see a list not only of the printers I'm sharing out via the server, but a duplicate list that includes every HP printer on the network with a kind labelled "Network Printer (HP IP)".  Neither my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 clients nor my Lion 10.7.2 clients see this extended list, only the 10.5.8 clients.
    This is a problem because I do not want the 2015's or the 4200 which has been omitted from the server to be publicly accessible, I've turned off mdns for a reason.
    How can I disable this "Network Printer (HP IP)" broadcast?
