Laserjet CP1025nw color, unable to change Print density

Hi,
I need to raise the "Print Density" to 5 (for pcb toner transfer) on my Laserjet
CP1025nw color, but when I open the printer properties I do not have that option
in the device settings tab, despite what is said on the help page of that model.
OS: Windows XP
The printer is on the USB port.
The pilot is: HP LaserJet Professional CP1020 Series + last update
How can I change that setting ?
Please help !!!
Thank you in advance for any help you can bring !
All the best,
This question was solved.

From what you describe you want to increase your toner density on your subsequent print jobs. First of all, if you have not, you should uninstall this printer and make sure that the drivers are the most up to date using the website I will link below :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4052972
Here you should also check for your firmware to be sure that it is up to date.
I would also, both before and after, check under "Printer Preferences" (not properties) and see if there is a way to change the density under the Paper/Quality tab.
Let me know if this helps you out!

HP LaserJet CP1025nw Color getting a Mispick error message

I have a HP LaserJet CP1025nw Color printer, running on WIN 7 64-bit and I am getting a Mispick error message after almost every page that prints. I have had this printer for the past 1-1/2 years and it has worked fine. I replaced the black toner over a month ago with no issues. The Attention light blinks and has to be rest after each print job. I can print a test page then it errors, I clear it and then it will re-print the test page again. I have cleaned the rollers, check for any loose paper pieces, changed the paper (type and size) nad have powered off & unplugged the power to the printer several times. It will come up with no errors and then once I send something to print, it will print it and then immediately after the page is printed the Attention light will start to blink. I have even gone as far as unintsalling the printer and reinstalling all the drivers and software, to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jarm1964

This is probably a little late but it may help someone with the same issue in the future. I had the exact same scenario - HP LJ CP1025nw color on Win7-64 and it suddenly started receiving the mispick error after every print job. There was nothing stuck, no paper jam, no problem picking up paper, etc. It turns out it was a setting on the printer - under Printer Properties (from Devices and Printers), on the Configure tab I had checked Allow Manual Duplexing and Jam Recovery set to On. When I unchecked Allow Manual Duplex and turned Jam Recovery to Off, the mispick error went away. Not sure which of the 2 was the culprit.

Laserjet CP1025nw color black and magenta lights blinking

Both the black and magenta cartridge lights are blinking even after replacing both with brand new genuine HP cartridges. Printer will not print configuration page or status page. It is completely unresponsive.
I've tried a full power reset - unplug, hold on powerkey for 30sec, plug back in...etc. To no avail.
Any ideas?

Hi @dmccullough,
I understand that after replacing the black and magenta toner, the lights for them are still blinking on the printer. I would be happy to help you.
Make sure all the packing material is removed.
Replacing Cartridges for HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 and CP1025nw Color Printers.
You can find the blinking light pattern in this document and the solutions appropriate to the pattern you are experiencing. Blinking Lights on the HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 and CP1025nw Color Printers.
If you are still having issues, I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a website to check the toner to make sure it is Genuine, it may be detecting the toner as a non-HP toner.

Laserjet 200 color m251 won't print in office picture manager

Windows 7 pro, service pack 1. HP laserjet 200 color m251 pcl6 will not print in office picture manager or photo viewer. will print using quick time.
any suggestions?

Hello BrokerDen.
I understand your Laserjet 200 printer is unable to print from office picture manager or photo viewer. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall these programs to see if this resolves your issue?
Something else you can try is applying an alternate print driver that could be compatible with your programs. Please follow these instructions in this thread.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB.
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Why is my LaserJet CP1025nw color printer's IP address is 0.0.0.0.?

My printer's IP address is 0.0.0.0. I can't connect it to eprint because whenever I enter it in a new browser like the help center told me too, my search engine searches it. I can't find my printer's email address!

'LaserJet: Print a configuration page from your printer to locate the IP address. Open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line. The HP-embedded Web Server will open. Click the HP Web Services tab. Select the option to enable Web Services. When Web Services are enabled, ePrint information appears in the HP Embedded Web Server. Look for the e-mail address that is automatically assigned to the product. The product also prints an HP Web Services page that contains this e-mail address and instructions for using the service.'
The section in red doesn't work as the config sheet just shows 0.0.0.0 as the IP Address which doesn't open the Web Server. Some detailed advice would be good rather than links to not particularly helpful internal help pages. I'm amazed HP expect you to be manually imputting IP addresses to get ePrint to work.

HP Laserjet CP1025nw Color Printer - printer prints two copies when only one is requested.

pcwizard (HP) requested that I try Foxit Reader 5.1 to see if the printer will print properly. I used the same previous document and printed it with Foxit Reader 5.1. The printer printed two copies when only one was requested as it had done in the past. We still have a problem.
I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) for OS. I have experience the issue on two different computers.

LaserJet CP1025NW Color Printer - Weird cranking noise when printing or rotating carousel

Just out the package today, the first time turning on the printer, during all print jobs and when rotating the cartridges, the carousel is making a weird cranking noise coming from the left side of the printer. I understand that this printer does make the winding/power-up sound, but this cranking noise is in addition to the normal sound.
I find this odd because I use the exact same printer at work and it does not make this noise and I am afraid that it is a faulty mechanism within the printer.
I have checked to make sure that I removed all packaging from inside the printer and removed all cartridges and replaced them. I would think that all pieces that need to be removed would be bright orange. Also, the print jobs are not affected by the cranking noise.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi saidthegirl
I understand the printer is noisy but will print.
I have included the document for setting up the printer, to take a look at where all the packing material is located.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02469250&tmp_task=setupCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
If the printer is making unusual noise and you are using the toner that shipped with the printer then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you.

HP 1300 Laserjet & HP 2605dn Laser Jet printers print density problem

I have both an HP 1300 b/w and HP 2605dn color laser printer. In the last week both printers have changed the output density. The 1300 print is coming out lighter than it used to, and the 2605 is not print the color tones as it used to. What used to be orange is now only yellow.Other colors are not right either. I can compare them to output a few weeks earlier, and they are much lighter and different color tones.
Both printers have plenty of toner in all cartridges. The toner cartridge on the 1300 was changed 2 weeks ago. The toner on the 2605 is 3/4 full.
This was like something got into the printer drivers and reset some parameters on both printers at once.
Can anyone help me here to check this out and how to correct the problem?

I have the same problem with my laser printer 2605dn. the color is pale, i replaced the cartridges with original hp's but it did not help. I also lost the capability of double side printing that I had when I originally loaded the printer drivers. I noticed this all after I checked the internet for software updates for my printer. Are there any solutions for these problems?
please let me know.

Re: LaserJet CP1025nw color unexpectedly quits

hi,
We got the same problems on 10.9.5 with the printer HP_Color_MFP_M476dn, but only with one Driver
The bankstatements that is giving us problem are from TD-bank, when I download them and I try to print them. they are being send correctly to the printer but the printer wakes up, the LCd of the printer says printing document but then stops immediately.
it failed when I was using the Secure AirPrint Driver.
But it worked when I used directly the HP printer driver: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476
The annoying thing about that last driver is that Black and White options is not directly available in the print panel.

Unable to change printer driver

Since upgrading to 10.8, there are no option for changing the printer driver when you click "Options & Supplies" for a printer. Under the "Driver" tab, I can only change the settings for the driver I chose when I set up the printer.
Is there anyway (besides CUPS webinterface) I can change the driver, or do I have to remove it and add it again with the other driver?

I am currently setting up some new imacs and encountered this problem.
The Ricoh technician talked me throught this and it now works perfectly.
Install the printer drivers you need
Install Equitrac 10.7
Add printer through Equitrac
Open browser and type localhost:631
if it says web interface is currently disabled run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" in Terminal (I did this under root user)
refresh browser page
At top go to Administration
Under Printers go to "anage printer"
select printer you want
click on administration (next to maintenance)
click on modify printer
add admin/pw
Current connection should be chosen printer go "continue"
Modify go "continue"
next to make Generic choose "Select another make/model"
Choose printer (in this case I chose Ricoh)
select driver - then "modify"
Go back to Admininstration > Manage Printers again
Select printer (driver should be showing)
Go to admin > set default options
Go to Policies > retry job
Set default options
Restart machine and then do a test print.. Equitrac should pop up and you go from there..
I credit this information to Stu from Ricoh NZ... how wonderful that he was able to guide me through this..
Hope it helps you all out there...

Cannot wire network hp CP1025nw color between Win xp and Win 7

I have two machines.
A: Win XP 32 bit
B: Win 7 64 bit
I have an hp LaserJet cp1025nw color printer.
PCs are connected to an ethernet switch which is connected to the internet.
Printer is connected via USB cable.
I can install the software successfully on either computer using the installation cd, and the printer works fine for that PC, but it will NOT share between the two. Interestingly, it WILL print a TEST PAGE from the networked PC, but it will not print from notepad, word, or publisher nor will it print bitmaps from Paint or any other file. The print job DOES go to the queue, sits there for a few minutes, then just disappears. No errors occur. When attempted to choose "networked connection (wired)" from the installation CD, it asks for an ip, which is NOT the situation; I don't want to set up a "network" printer I want to set up a printer that is "networked" but directly plugged into machine B. Interestingly, I have a second printer, a Brother, which is set up in the exact same way but DOES print from all the mentioned programs using the SAME network switch and outlets, etc. so I KNOW the cables are not faulty or incorrectly connected. The problem is the Brother printer is a black and white laser, so I cannot print color jobs on it and hence I need the HP to work in the same fashion.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I think you need to make the PC which connected to the printer using USB cable as a Print server.
Hope this helps.
