Laserjet P1006, Windows 7, won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)

Laserjet P1006, Windows 7 64 bit,
won't print readable maps (poor greyscale - halftones)
The HP website shows a "density" slider control in the print driver, but the driver that they have for download doesn't have this control. I did set the driver to RET1600 but that made little improvement.
Tips to correct this flaw greatly appreciated!
AHI

2nd Request
I set this printer up with a Windows XP computer, and the printer works fine with the XP driver. The problem is with the WIndows 7 driver - the print density is too low to print maps in a readable fashion.
Can anyone please help with printing greyscale (maps in this case) in the HP Laserjet P1006 with Windows 7 ???

Hp laserjet pro 200 My won't print more than 1 file at a time

My hp laserjet pro 200 m251 won't print more than 1 file at a time. Any ideas?

Hi @nocastaway,
I see by your post that you can't print multiple copies. I can help you with this.
From the application your printing from, go to File, Print, Number of copies select 2. Uncheck Collate. You can now change the number of copies. Collate should now stay unchecked.
Try printing the multiple page document again.
You might have to disable all the startup items, to see if there is another program causing this issue.
How to use MSCONFIG. Click on the Startup tab and disable all.
Test the printer.
Then go back in and enable all from the Startup tab.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What applications have you tried?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
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!

HP Laserjet P1006 Can not get new print cartridge into printer.

HP Laserjet P1006 Can not get new print cartridge into printer. Received two new cartridges from HP. CB435A, 35A are correct numbers for replacement but round part on left side appears too large for channel provided. I can not get the old cartridge back into the printer either. What am I doing wrong.

Hi,
Please use the following instructions to fix:

How do I delete the memory on my printer so it will print?

Thanks so much.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251 won't print PDF

I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 that will not print PDFs. The documents get stuck in the print queue and I have to delete them and restart the printer. I have reinstalled the driver and updates and reinstalled Adobe Reader and updates. Called HP and they told me to contact ADobe, but I can't find a number.

I posted this on another discussion. But here it is again.
One of the things I have experienced in the past with printing PDFs is that it would hang in the print queue. There is a manual method of deleting the print documents in the print queue. But the issue is printing PDF documents that are scanned in and has maybe highlighted text or handwritten notes on the PDF. The printer driver can render it correctly if printing the PDF as a text document. What you have to do is change it so that it prints as a PDF image instead.
To print as an image, open the PDF then click File then click Print. Click the Advanced button on the following window that pops up and select the check box "Print as image".
Now to clear your print queue will be key prior to doing this if the print job is hung in the print queue.
Here is a Microsoft KB Article that explains how to do this. I think it has an available Microsoft Fixit tool you can use as well.

Hi Velcro,
Seeing as this is a forum community, we try to get to posts as soon as we can and I will try to help you out.
You've mentioned a few issues with the printer, so let's see if we can figure out what's wrong with it. Right now it could be either hardware or software, so let's troubleshoot the actual printer first
Please print a test page, and let me know if any black or color blocks come out?
Load unused, plain white, U.S. letter or A4 sized paper in the tray.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Press the Setup button ( ).
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Print Report , and then press OK .
Press the right arrow button ( ) to select Self-Test Report , and then press OK . The self-test report prints.

HP Deskjet 600C with USB adapter & Windows 7 won't print

Windows 7 recognizes the printer, and says it is OK. It installed the driver. Test Page failed. Printing a simple text document failed. Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to print - do jobs stay in the queue? If not does the printer go through the motions of printing but fail to put ink on the page? If so then try printing a test page from the printer as shown here. If that fails then the issue is the printer or the print cartridge. In that case I would suggest running the cleaning cycle as shown at the link above.

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.

Laptop with window 7 won't print to network HP printer

purchased a Toshiba Laptop and cannot get it to print to my HP PSC 750 network printer. I have downloaded the drivers and made sure it was compatiable with that printer. It installed the printer with no problem. It shows "ready" but when I send a test print or any other type of document to it it will go to the que and shows "printing error" When I troubleshoot it shows that there are jobs in the que and needs to be cleared....but when I do that and try another test page I get the same scenario. I have also turned off the firewall to my desktop and tried to print. I have a desktop with XP home and 2 other laptops with XP and all three of them will print to that printer. I contacted the Geek Squad and they don't have a fix either. Is it something with the new Window 7? HELP! I have spent about 10 hours trying to get this printer to work and about have given up!

Many Vista driver are compatible with Windows 7, have you tried installing these? Then, have you tried to make windows search for new drivers? It has even compatible ones, they could work. You can force your windows to search for new drivers even pluggin your printer directly to your pc, once the're installed, you can make the connection procedure to the printer in LAN.
Excuse me if my English is not perfect..

Windows 7 won't print pdf to network printer connected to Mac

Hi,
I have a printer connected to my Mac and have shared the printer on my home network. I can print documents from a Windows 7 computer on my network but when I try to print a pdf from adobe reader it will not print, or ever go to the print queue.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

HP Deskjet 1010 on Windows XP - won't print

I had an HP Inkjet 1000 that worked fine for years, and then decided not to grab the paper. Since I had just purchased 6 new cartridges, I wanted to replace that printer with one that would also use the type 61 cartridges, and purchased a DeskJet 1010 printer. The printer does not print. There are no error messages. If I am watching the printer spool when I OK the print, I see the document spooling, getting sent to the printer, and then deleted from the spool. I cannot get the test page to print. All of the diagonstics seem OK (green checks everywhere).
I have installed the new drivers (several times). The only way I have been able to get any output from the printer is to ask for an alignment page, which I suspect is being driven directly to the USB without going through the print spooler.
The printer works fine on another of my computers, so suspect the drivers, the spooler, or the port connection, but not the printer itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Windows XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3

Hi PeterGuthrie,
I am sorry to hear that you cannot get the Deskjet 1010 to print on your Windows XP computer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
I recommend using this document for USB Printer Installation Troubleshooting. After doing the disk clean up, I recommend doing a re-register of the windows installer.
To Re-register Windows Installer
Click Start, click Run , type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER , and then click OK .
NOTE:Even if you do this correctly, it might look like nothing happens, but it does.
Click Start, and then click Run .
In the Run window, type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER , and then click OK .
Then follow the rest of the steps in order. Be sure to restart after installing before trying to print.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Deskjet D1560 Windows Network Won't Print on Mac

I have a Deskjet D1560 connected to my HP desktop computer. I am able to print just fine from there. I have shared it and am able to send jobs to the printer from the mac, but they say spooling, then printing, yet nothing prints. The printer makes noises like it is getting ready to print, then never does. I have already tried resetting the print spooler, turning the printer on an off again, and deleting and readding the printer on the mac, to no avail. In the hp printer utility on the mac, the printer is there, but red, and I can't access it.
I have:

My brand new printer LaserJet Pro MPF M127fn won't print after initial test print worked fine

Just installed this printer. USB connection to my PC. Test prints worked fine. Suddenly has stop printing from Word or emails.

On your Mac, open:
System preferences > Network > (whatever your connection) and examine the IPv4 Address.
Wired routers most often use local addresses in the 192.168.xxx.yyy range
Wireless Routers most often use local addresses in the 10.10.xxx.yyy range.
These ranges (along with a few others) are reserved for sets of "private" addresses, that are not visible on the Internet.
The Router will usually be located at kkk.lll.mmm.01
Whatever the range you are using, all the devices with similar addresses can talk freely to each other without any intervention. Any devices with sharply different addresses (such as the entirety of the Internet) must use the Router as their "agent" to communicate.
You want your printers to have addresses in the same range as everything else. If you find you have two non-overlapping ranges active, you will need to demote one of your Routers to be only a wireless access point, not a full Router.

Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

HP LaserJet P1006
Windows 7 64-bit
No error message
No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
- printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
- when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
- but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
- and no page is being printed
- the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
Can anyone help me with this?

HI,
Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One. Worked for me. Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks. Hope it works for you.
Good luck!
