Laserjet 4 plus prints after 6 to 8 pages

The printer initially prints a blank page working up to a pretty good print after 6 to 8 pages, and prints fine if I continue to print. If I let the printer sit then try to start printing the same problem occurs. I installed a new toner cartridge, made no difference. I've taken the unit above the paper tray out and cleaned it. It looks fine to me. Could the heater button resting against the roller be taking time to warm up?
On a separate problem, I get a paper jam where I have to open the back flap and pull out the logged paper fairly often. I do have to use lighter grade paper for printing, or I get jams all the time. Thanks

HP C7280 LaserJet wont print more than 2 pages!!

HP Laserjet Photosmart C7280 AllInOne will not print more than 2 pages when I ask for more!! Use Win7HomePrem, just upgraded to new laptop, drivers are all up-to-date, wireless setup fine. What Is The FiX??? Worked fine on old XP desktop.

The printer acts as it has finished the job (plays it's happy song). I am trying to print a summary of my Amazon ebook orders, @ 14 pages, double sided onto 7 pieces of paper total. Print preview will only show 2 pages total but only with print on 3 pages (barely any print on 3rd page) and it ends the page as if it is end of doc with Amazon's footer info on last page printed. No error codes from printer. Only in print preview if I try to tell it to print "page 1 to14" it will tell me it can't do, comes up in red print.

HP laserjet stops printing after change of internet provider - workaround : reinstall....

Hi,
my HP multi-function laserjet printer worked fine on my windows 7 laptop, via wifi connection, in the past ;
recently changed internet provider, and since, I do not manage to install the printer so that it works continuously.
After initial install (via cable connection between laptop and printer), all seems fine ;
I select "share with all users" ;
=> all OK, everything prints, for both users.
Problem:
Next time another user or myself try to print, just a couple of days later - nothing works anymore ;
NO error message ;
printer job is visible in queue ;
printer is visible (and selected as default printer) in "devices and printer" with a green checking mark, but in light grey, as if inactive.
When (right-)clicking "troubleshoot", no error is found.... but nothing prints, still.
How can I avoid doing the reinstall every time I want to print from my laptop???
(Printing from my tablet works fine !)
Would be very greatful for your help..... thanks in advance!

Hi @KatLe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing from different user accounts. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help.
Can the Administrator Account on the computer print, or are they having intermittent issues also?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My HP LaserJet 1536dnf Printer is printing black pages after replacing toner with a new one!

I changed out the toner cartridge for my HP LaserJet 1536dnf printer with a genuine HP toner cartridge and now it is printing out black pages. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi @Beaglemom49779,
I see by your post that you replaced the toner and are now getting all black pages. I can help you with this.
Did you have the same issue with the printer before replacing the toner?
It could be a hardware or fuser issue with the printer.
If the issue just started after replacing the toner then most likely it is the toner.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Number one cause of toner issues.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, black on the drum, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Please call our technical support if the there is a issue with the toner and inquire about a replacement, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.
Have a nice day!

HP LaserJet 300 M375 nw cancels print job after a few pages

I just received a new replacement MFP through the insurance I purchased through Office Depo. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software on my desktop and my work laptop in order to get this one working. I'm on wifi with both computers. The printer is automatically cancelling my print jobs after 7 - 9 pgs when I'm trying to print 25 or 50 pages at one time. Also, I'm not able to get the "scan" icon to show up on my desktop on my laptop.

Hello! Could you please provide more information regarding the issue, such as which version of MAC OS X you are using? Any additional information such as error messages or lights on the printer will be helpful in resolving your issue. Thanks!

HP LaserJet 1320 requires user intervention to print after Leopard

Ever since upgrading to Leopard, almost every single time I send a print job to my HP LaserJet 1320 (over the network, it actually connected to a PowerMac G5 in my office), it triggers an error warning (orange flashing light) on the printer. Pressing the main green print button lets the job print, but this is really annoying.
I checked and Apple recently posted a note about the HP LaserJet 1200 having a very similar problem except that an error page was printed after each job. The workaround they suggest for this doesn't work with the LaserJet 1320 problem, however.
A quick Google reveals at least one other Leopard using HP LaserJet 1320 owner is seeing a similar issue. And actually, as I composed this post, I found some 1320 owners in another Apple Discussion post about HP printer issues with Leopard. They suggested using the generic PostScript driver, but then I really like to have the ability to duplex.
Nothing in the /private/var/log/cups/error_log file of note as far as I can tell.
Any ideas? Any other people out there experiencing this problem who might have a solution (other than switching to a generic postscript driver)?

Ok, I think I've figured a way to make the laserjet 1320 stop requiring "user intervention" (e.g. pressing the green button for every printjob).
Try the following:
Open "System Preferences" -> Choose "Print & Fax" -> Choose the Laserjet 1320 printer -> Press button "Options and Supplies..." -> Select Driver "tab" -> In the drop-down-menu "Fit to page" choose "Nearest Size and Scale" instead of "Prompt User".
The chosen driver should be "HP Laserjet 1320 series", because the generic postscript printerdriver dosen't have the duplex option amongst other shortcomings.
I find it odd that the lowest memory-option is 16-31mb of ram. The default configuration of 16mb is not IN that range, but maybe that is a little too nitty-gritty.

HP LaserJet 1102w printer settings on WRT54G2-V1 lost after power is turned off

I have installed the HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 1102w printer on my Windows 7 (64 bit) Professeional and Windows XP laptops.They both print fine over the network using the WRT54G2-V1 router immediately after installing the drivers. However after shutting down either the computers or printer the settings are lost and the printer willl not work unless the drivers are reloaded.
In talking with HP support they are telling me this printer is not compatible with the router, which I find hard to believe given most backward compatibility built into printers today and the fact it initially works before it is shut off. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to configure my router to support the printer or verify if the information I received from HP support is valid.
Thanks!

The trick is to set the printer's IP Address manually so has a static IP address. See the user manual for the printer (I think this may be the user manual for the OP's printer). If so see page 28 for how to set the IP Address to manual on the printer.
IP address
The product IP address can be set manually, or it can be configured automatically using DHCP, BootP,
or AutoIP.
To change the IP address manually, use the HP Embedded Web Server.
1. Open the HP Embedded Web Server, and then click the Networking tab.
2. In the navigation pane, click the IPv4 Configuration link or the IPv6 Configuration link.
3. In the IP Address Configuration section, click the Manual IP option.
4. Type the required data in the Manual IP Address box, the IP Subnet Mask box, and the Manual
Deault Gateway box.
5. Click the Apply button.
You will need to set the IP address for the printer outside of the range the router's DHCP server has reserved and hands out to clients. For example if the router is configured to use it's default IP address of 192.168.1.100 with 50 client addresses reserved, try setting the printer to 192.168.1.200 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If the printer drivers were previously installed and configured they will either need to be removed and reninstalled so they use the new printer IP address, or reconfigured so they point to the new IP address of the printer.

After upgrading to 10.6 I cannot use AppleTalk to connect to my HP LaserJet 4ML printer.

After upgrading to 10.6 I can no longer use AppleTalk to connect to my HP LaserJet 4ML printer. So I am now using a JetDirect 300X box connected to the parallel port of the printer and an ethernet cable into my Linksys router. But I have had no luck with this setup. I was able to get a printout from the JetDirect box that gave me the IP address of 184.35.129.151 which I tried using in the printer setup dialog box. No luck. My ethernet network IP is 192.168.1.100, so I tried putting in 192.168.1.2, etc. and 192.168.1.151 (151 being the JetDirect IP address). Still no luck. When I do the printer setup it seems to be finding the printer but when I try to print it cannot connect. I have also tried putting the ethernet cable from the JetDirect box directly into the other rear port on my MacPro. No difference.
The HP website clearly says that this printer can be connected to a Mac using the JetDirect box. But the configuration page that I printed out from the printer doesn't say anything about IP addresses and there is nothing in the manual about IP connection. Do I need to find the IP address of this printer, and how do I find that?
I would really like to continue to use this printer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry about that. Let's see what we can do. Take a look at this site:
http://www.mikestechblog.com/joomla/networking-section/network-printing-category /52-how-to-configure-an-hp-jetdirect-300x-print-server.html
It's to set up on a Windows PC but just get an IP address at step 8. Then access the JetDirect's admin area using the IP address. Make the address fixed so your router cant change it. Then using System Preferences>Print & Fax you need to add the printer using the IPP protocol. If the IPP protocol doesn't work then try the HP JetDirect.
It's been a while since I had my HP LJ4MP set up that way so my memory is a bit fuzzy on it. Once you get it - it works. The only other thought is to get a cable with a 25 pin on one end and USB on the other.

HP LASERJET 1020 PLUS PRINTER PRINTING PROBLEM

HI.
I AM RAJA PAUL FROM INDIA, I HAVE A HP LASERJET 1020 PLUS PRINTER , NOW A DAYS I AM FACE ING A PROBLEM , WHEN I AM GOING TO PRINT FROM THIS PRINTER , EVERY TIME PRITING LETEER SHOW Distorted characters. WHAT I DO?

Hi @rajahp ,
I see by your post that the printer is printing distorted characters. Thanks for providing the screen shot. I can help you.
It looks like a issue with the toner or possible a hardware issue with the printer or fuser.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, toner on the drum or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
I have provided a document for cleaning inside the printer and running a cleaning page, resetting the printer and checking the driver settings. Resolving Print Quality Issues.
Try printing a document again.
Let me know the results.
What kind of paper are you using?
Try another type of paper to see if you have the same results.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What is the toner level?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

HP LaserJet P1006 refuses to print after a paper jam

I've used an HP LaserJet P1006 for 3 years now and it has performed without a hitch (I don't print that much). However, recently it swallowed a sheet of paper in a rather crooked fashion that left it gasping, and I had to shut it down. I was abled to carefully remove the paper after first removing the ink cartridge, but when I tried to print again, it would not do it. I went through the entire check-up procedure the manual suggests, but no dice, it refuses to print. This morning I tried something I did not tried before, which was printing a "Demo Page" under the "Print Information Pages" of the "services" tab of the "Printing Preferences" menu. To my surprise it printed the Demo Page. However, it refuses to print anything else, like the "print test page" or print from any other program. Intimidation with a sledge hammer doesn't work either. Any ideas anyone? I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks. JD
WindowsXP

Thanks for the tip Royal_KB, I tried what you suggested but no dice.
I tried the HP Print Diagnostic Utility v4.1 with the following results:
1) Before I tried to print, I clicked on the FIX button and it said: "No problems were found for HP laserJet P1006" and all checkmark circles are green. A small window pops up that states: ""The HP Print Diagnostic Utility is not detecting any remaining issues. Click PRINT A TEST PAGE to check your printer operation"". I click to print, and a second window asks if I really want to print. I say YES, but no printing takes place, the printer doesn't even attempt to print, though the light on the printer is green. So I click on RETEST I get the same behavior all over again. ""No problems were found for HP laserJet P1006"" and all checkmark circles are green. I try everything suggested by the HPPDU v4.1 and I find myself in a catch 22 situation, so I do 2) next
2) I go to PRINTING PREFERENCES > SERVICES tab > PRINT INFORMATION PAGES > select DEMO PAGE > PRINT button..............The printer then turns on, and prints a perfect demo page of the printer. I have tried to make this printer print through other programs and test pages etc. etc., but the Demo Page is the only thing it will print. I'd appreciate any other suggestions. Trebuchet candidate maybe?
Thanks

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus cannot print after OS 10.10 SW update

My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus was working just fine with OS 10.9. I got an email from HP that there was updated software for OS 10.10, so I dowloaded & installed it, and now I get gibberish when I try to print anything -- a web page, email, Word document -- similar results for all.
For example, for a Fitbit update email, the title "Weekly Stats" was printed, my name was printed, some images were partially printed, and all the remaining lines/descriptions were gibberish. Maybe 20% of the characters were printed, the rest was blank space. Looked more like Morse code than text.
I reinstalled 3 times with the same results. I installed the update via the app store, same results. I used Time Machine to reset to yesterday, no impact, same results. I can scan just fine. Have not tested faxing.
My HP Laserjet Pro M401dne was also updated and it still prints fine.
Can I get and reinstall the OS 10.9 SW?
Thanks in advancxe for any assistance.
