Laserjet 6p problems

recently my friend gave me a laserjet 6p printer. i want to set it up as my black & white printer. but i dont know why it is just not working .
i can print the test page with the printer ....everything looks good .
when i try to print something on my computer and send it to the printer ....errors come
i download the driver from hp.com
and set it up ( in my control panel it show online and no errors)
can anyone help please ...

Which Operating System are you using (XP, Vista, Win7)? Depending on the problem, you can use an alternate PCL driver (either from the OS or from HP.COM).
Are there particular errors (Screen errors) or LED Light pattern that occurs on the unit when you print?
Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.

HP Laserjet printer problem

My HP Color Laserjet 1500 printer doesn't work properly with my Mac (it did work well formerly with a PC). There are two problems:
1) the software is incomplete: I do have the printer established as my default printer but I don't get the full range of info I used to get, such as ink supply levels, etc.
2) the printer will print the first job but usually fails to print subsequent jobs; i have to turn it off and then turn it on again to print the next job.
I've reinstalled the driver from the HP website, searched the discussion boards on both HP and Mac, and don't know what to try next! The printer is no longer eligible for tech support thru HP.
Any suggestions from anyone?
Thanks --

Please check the operating system compatibility with your product and try to perform installation with latest drivers:

HP LaserJet 1000 problem after Leopard install

Anyone else have a problem printing after the Leopard install?
My printer and driver was recognized but I can't print. When I watch the print queue it say there are errors and fails.
Since HP never made a driver for this printer, I was using a Zenographics driver that worked great. That is, until I upgraded.
I unplugged the USB and power cords, and removed the printer from System Preferences. After plugging everything back in and adding the printer again, the printer seemed like it wanted to print, but still didn't work.
Please help.

Thank you for your answers. I was hoping someone would reply.
HP LJ 1000 is a great printer and I figured a few people had to have one. It is unfortunate as this printer hardly ever needed the toner changed, and I used it as my main printer. I swear I only changed toner four times in the last five years!
I looked everywhere for a driver and found nothing. HP said they had no updated driver for the Mac (as they told me a year ago, too) and they were not going to create one.
My final solution was to give up my printer to a good neighbor for $50 for her pc.
I researched printers from the Apple store and decided to go with the very Mac friendly HP Laserjet 1022:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCustom.woa/94340 03/wa/PSLID?mco=CC919B84&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/printers&nplm=TC976LL/A&wosid=gG2dihO9R0Mg29v6f901bEeWNf2
Hopefully it will be a good printer. After returning the new toner I bought for the LJ1000, I thought Staples would have it in stock. However, after trying three different stores, it seems the best way to get a Mac-friendly printer is to go online.
I hope I helped you out as well.
Again, thank you.

HP Laserjet P1102w problem

Hello,
after several attempts and after installing the newest firmware I finally have managed to install the Laserjet P1102w on my Mac OS: Lion).
However, I still face a major problem when printing wireless: the printer stops printing after a while.I have installed the printer via bonjour, assigned a unique SSID and a fixed IP adresse, deactivated auto-off, set the I/O timeout to max. The printer is accessible over the webbased interface and prints documents via ePrint mobile printing. Although the LED glows a constant blue, the printer quits printing.
Is there a major bug in the firmware or is the printer incompatible with OS 10.7.2?
Chris
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP Laserjet 2200 problem solved v2

I was having problems getting Snow Leopard to recognise my old HP LaserJet 2200 (in my case a 2200DN which I was trying to access through the Ethernet port of a Time Capsule). Tony from London in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10073041&#10073041 explained how to find the IP address of your LaserJet (for the 2200DN you press Go and Job Cancel buttons simultaneously, and the details are printed out). In my case Tony's solution of using this to connect via the Internet Printing Protocol did not work. Instead I found it did work using the HP Directjet - Socket protocol. The steps are:
1. Find the IP address of your printer as described above.
2. Click the + sign to add a printer in the Print & Fax preferences window
3. Select the IP option (globe symbol) in the toolbar
4. In the Protocol pull-down, select HP Directjet - Socket
5. Enter the printer's IP address in the Address box
6. Select the correct driver in the Print Using pull-down
7. Click the Add button
Hope that works for you!

HP Laserjet 1020 problem with double-side printing

Hi, everyone!
I have a problem with my printer HP laserjet 1020. From the community I know that there is no driver for 1020, but there is for 1022 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907). I installed it and everything was fine until I tried to print 2-sided page... It appears 2-sided option disappeared and I don't know how to fix this...
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you for looking.

AMW122,
The part in the photograph appears to be part of the fuser assembly. If it is part of the fuser assembly, I would recommend you replace the fuser. An internet search on "LaserJet 3300 fuser" found several links.
From what I can see, it appears that the fuser sleeve is damaged which will continue to worsen.
If it is not the fuser, can you post another photograph further away so that we can see the location on the printer where it is located, etc...

LASERJET P2015-PROBLEMS WITH PAPER FEED

We have a HP LaserJet P2015 in the office. When the paper reaches the halfway point, the printer makes a horrible sound and will not feed the paper. Anybody have any suggestion?

So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

HP 2605dn Color Laserjet firmware problem.... wny suggestions on what to try next?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I installed the firmware upgrade on my color laserjet model 2605dn to resolve the red background printing problem with pdf documents. The install utility appeared to install it and then I got the little smiley face that I understood meant that it went the way it was supposed to. However, now the printer no longer displays lights or anything on the lcd display when powered up. WHen first turned on, it goes through at least part of the start-up check and then seems to hand and stop. when I turn it back off with the switch on the back, there is an audible click from somewhere inside as it powers down.
sooo.... am I correct in thinking that the firmware may be corrupted and that without the ability to reset or reload from the console, combined with no communcation with computer or network, that it's doa? Or does someone hav a suggestion on how to address? I'm not very knowledgable about printers, but am no stranger to electronics, instruments, etc... in other words, I have no clue what to try next, but am comfortable trying about anything...
Best Regards

I wonder whether anyone can give me advice on the above problem, thanks. Have upgraded to Firefox 9.

CUPS + LaserJet 1012 problem

Hi, all!
I have almost the same problem as in this post, but with HP LaserJet 1012. The following info is present on Information tab of Control Center->Printers:
State: Processing... (accepting jobs)
URI: ipp://localhost.localdomain:631/printers/hp_LaserJet_1012
Device: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1012?serial=00CNFD165436
Model: HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs
I tried two drivers: 1012 hpijs and LaserJet 1012 pxl1010 - none of them helped.
When i send test page to printer, nothing happens. In job status window there are the following fields: job-printer-state-message="open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...", job-printer-state-reasons="none". Cups ver. 1.3.5-1, hplip ver. 2.7.10-1.
What can be done to allow printing with HP Laserjet 1012?

I'm probably the most inexperienced person here, but from this website:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_print … erJet_1012
it appears that the 1012 isn't fully supported or it just doesn't work like it should. I quote from their website:
Unfortunately, the new LaserJet 1010/1012 series seems not to be absolutely compatible with older HP printers or it has a firmware bug. Sometimes it happens that the printer stops working and reports the error "Unsupported Personality: PCL". It only continues working when one kills the job and power-cycles the printer.
Anyways, I'm not sure it will work until someone does some tinkering with the drivers.
Probably not the most helpful post, but I just wanted to increase my post count.
Best of luck!

HP LaserJet 3300 problem with gray film

I have used the laserjet constantly and from time to time get paper jams. I can only suspect that damage was done to the gray film covering a rod at the back of the machine since there is clearly a piece torn off it. It means that printing pages shows a dark line down the paper imaging the torn section. Shown slightly right of center. Can this be repaired?

AMW122,
The part in the photograph appears to be part of the fuser assembly. If it is part of the fuser assembly, I would recommend you replace the fuser. An internet search on "LaserJet 3300 fuser" found several links.
From what I can see, it appears that the fuser sleeve is damaged which will continue to worsen.
If it is not the fuser, can you post another photograph further away so that we can see the location on the printer where it is located, etc...

Hp laserjet 3800n problem printing envelopes

My laserjet which I've had for years always has a hard time printing envelopes, but usually if I try several times they will print, but today it isn't working. What it does is hum for about 30-60 seconds without feeding envelopes, then stops and says fuser error (50.2?). I did update the firmware about 1 year ago, hoping it would help this problem. I am printing envelopes from Microsoft works on a XP machine. Thanks

Hey tswelsh,
Are you using the envelope template built into Microsoft Word to print the #10 envelopes? If so, then I would make sure all settings are set correctly to print the envelopes.
Check to make sure the Feed option is set to the correct feed path for the Photosmart 7525. It is possible that the Word software is expecting the envelope to come through the unit in a different location and is 'printing' your information in empty space.
Also, make sure the print driver settings are correct. When selecting to print make sure to set the Printer Properties to the correct paper type. Select the Paper/Quality tab to make sure that the option is set for #10 envelopes in the driver. The printer functions best when the software and driver have matching settings.
Let me know if this helps,
Jason

HP LaserJet 4250 problems

I'm having difficulties printing to a printer on our windows network. The printer is a HP LaserJet 4250 and every time I try to add it, I have problems. Can anyone help?

The issue is that Leopard will not detect Windows printers via SAMBA.
Currently the solution is to use CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). This works directly on the UNIX layer to identify printers. There is a bug in Leopard that causes issues when you try to add network printers through system preferences.
Here is a great link with the instructions on how to setup CUPS properly: http://www.darrenwatt.com/blog/2007/12/30/connecting-to-shared-windows-printers- in-leopard-105/

Laserjet 3050 - problems to print after update to Yosemite

Since I updated to Yosemite, I am having problems printing pdf and image files. Just after clicking "print", the printer says "Printing Document" while the green light flashes. However, nothing happens. The printer goes back to "ready" mode without any printed page.
Other documents from safari, etc. can be printed.
I have seen other people have the same problems but I have not seen a solution.
Can someone help me?

You might try installing the 3rd Party Gutenprint driver for your LaserJet 3050. It may provide better support for your printer then the Apple provided driver in Yosemite. You can download this driver here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
