LaserJet P2055DN - will not print via network

Set up the printer last night as a network printer (replacing an older LJ 2300dn). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I loaded the drivers into my laptop and connected via usb. Was able to print a test page via usb. Disconnected usb and reconnected network cable. Released and reset ip address. Verified ip address by pinging from host. When I ping the printer I loose usually half of the packets. There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a LJ color 2605dn. Pinging their ip address returns 100% with a ttl=255. Pinging the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 packets lost, ttl=64 on the 2 returns. I have changed cables to the printer and interchanged ports on the network switch (verified the ports on the network switch by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I cannot get the internal web server to come up, or it partially displays, or combinations of the above. If this had the older style removable print server like in my lj2300, I could swap it out, but it doesn't look like I can do that with this model. When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on the top is flashing, the activity light on the network card is flashing, but nothing happens. Eventually, I get a "this document failed to print' notification on the host, but the printer still indicates "printing" and the lights are still flashing. Anyone have any ideas? I think I'm looking at a bad network/print server card in the P2055.
This question was solved.

I also had problems printing via the network to hp p2055dn. There was no problem printing via USB. All network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...
Many days of wrangling, finally found that the Network Config.Security had to be Reset on the printer's physical control panel.
Press Ok on the printer control panel --> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config --> press Ok --> A number of down arrows down you get to Network Config. Security --> press Ok --> you have two options - Keep or Reset --> Choose Reset........ Network printing should be working fine.

Pages will not print via network printer

I have purchased and installe Pages and Numbers and neither one will print to my network printer. I have been using my DeskJet 970 on my network without trouble.
I can print from other apps installed on my iPad via this same printer.
In support of printing I have purchased Print-N-Share as well as PrintCentral Pro. I have also install wePrint on my desktop.
When I open Pages and attempt to print I am asked to select a printer. The message that comes up is that no Airprint printers were found. It totally ignores my wePrint server app which connects Print-N-Share and PrintCentral Pro.
I have already requested a reinstatement to my account for $9.99 which Apple has thus far ignored.
Has anyone experience this or found a solution to this problem.

Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer?? Try installing the printer on all computers that do not work?? Also unplug the printer for 20 seconds. Some times I have to unplug my HP to get it to work wireless. It's kind a like rebooting your PC
Dokie!!

HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable. I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99% installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out. I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
1. Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
2. Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up? Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ? I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase. What to do if so?
3. Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation? If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

Hi @Marvalina1968,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
First to answer your questions:
It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
Please take a look through the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

Laserjet cm1312 will not print green

laserjet cm1312 will not print green, all ink cartridges are full, green comes out yellow

Hello @dour,
Welcome to the HP Forums!

LaserJet 5000 will not print more than one copy at a time.

We have recently moved our office. A LaserJet 5000 which is used as an office printer is shared through one of the computers on the network in the exact same way it was more we moved. But since the move it will not print multiple copies of the same document no matter how many copies the software tells the printer to print it will only print one copy then it stops. Before the moved it worked fine. If the software program such as Word told it to print 100 copies it printed 100 copies now one is the limit. So if you want to printmore than one you have to hit print that many times. It has 172 MB RAM. Does anyone have any ideas of what might have happened????

I have the same issue with a photosmart 2410xi. Did you ever get yours figured out?

New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk. User runs win 7 64 bit on a network. Raninstall through setup.exe. Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly. It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page. If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page. If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page. It does not seethe printer. It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk. I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing. I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue. It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print. I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account: Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome.

HP Laserjet 4100 will not print in Snow Leopard

Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
Any suggestions?

Well, another week has gone by without a solution.
Again, here is the problem:
I have a 24" iMac connected to a USB hub and an AT&T 2-Wire DSL/ethernet hub. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and now the update 10.6.2, the two printers on the USB hub work fine but the HP Laserjet 4100dtn does not print. This old printer has only ethernet or serial ports. I've downloaded and installed the HP driver updates from Apple and HP to no avail. According to HP, I must add the 4100 manually using its IP. I've followed the instructions while adding a printer to select IP- HP Jetdirect - Socket. The address of the printer is 10.0.1.100. When I type this in, the window says that this is a valid and complete address. It searches and then says the "Print Using:" is a Generic PostScript Printer. The driver for this printer, I believe, should be "HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107" Regardless, when I click Add the window "Determining Installable Options" shows "Status: Connecting to printer..." It never establishes a connection.
The 2-Wire DSL/Ethernet Hub/Modem, has an IP of 192.1687.1.66, Submask 255.255.255.0 and Router (DNS) 192.168.1.254.
If I plug the ethernet cable directly from the printer to the iMac, the supply level shows correctly but will not print. If I plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the 2-Wire and then to the iMac, it neither shows supply level nor prints.
Any suggestion as to how to fix this problem? (I've been on the phone with 3 different Apple respresentatives and 1 HP representative with no success.)

My HP Laserjet 1020 will not print from Internet Explorer 9

I just get an error message saying that "an error occurred on the script on this page." The printer works fine with other software.

I get an error :

HP laserjet 1536dnf will not print pdf's

My laser jet 1536dnf will not print pdfs. Prints everything else. I have adobe acrobat 9. I have unistalled the driver/software for the printer and reinstalled. Still not fixed. When I pull up the pdf and select print, then hit ok, nothing happens. However, I can print pdfs to the other printer connected to my computer. This logically brings the conclusion that the issue is with the laser jet driver. Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

Hi , I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents, just from the Laserjet M1536dnf printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Try printing a page from the printer's User Guide, to see if you have the same results. LASERJET PRO M1530.Let me know the results. Print the PDF as an image: Open the original PDF file, if necessary.Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.Select the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.On the Print window, click OK again to begin printing.Run the Adobe updates. Product updates. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.

HP color laserjet CP2025 will not print. Help.

I have a HP color laserjet CP2025, but it will not print. I installed the driver HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series PCL 6. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium. There is a message to replace the cyan cartridge, but I assume if the printer has black ink, then it'll print in black and white. Do I need to replace the cyan cartiridge for it to print? What other options can I try to troubleshoot?
Thank you.

Will not Print to network printer

I have a A665-S6086 laptop on a small work network. Yesterday, magically, it stopped printing to both network printers. It recognizes the printers, says they are online, but will not print. No error messages given. Tried printing from Word, .pdf, and internet.
Laptop uses Windows 7. Computer that the printers are attached to has Windows 7 and it prints fine.
I have tried reinstalling drivers, deleting and reinstalling printers, etc. If I connect a printer directly to laptop it prints.
Any suggestions?

Hi All printers are different. I suggest you contact the printer manufacture. Do you have the installation disc that came with the printer??

LaserJet 4600 will not print black

My LaserJet 4600 has only 12-13,000 pages on it and will not print black ink. Magenta, cyan, and yellow print fine. The black cartridge works in my other 4600, and I've also tried the magenta in the black slot-- it will not print in that slot either...... Appears to me to be a hardware issue..... Any suggestions as to what the problem is, and is it something that I can fix? Or is it a job for a repair shop?........... Another aspect is-- is it cost prohibitive to fix?.. Thanks......................

New HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP Will Not Print Over Network

We have a new HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP. I've assigned it an IP address, static, and it pulls up on it's web interface. I loaded the printer for network printing on our Small Business Server 2003 and installed it on several PCs. No matter what we do, it will not accept a print job, even the test page. Nothing sent to it will print. I've checked print spoolers, drivers, etc. Nothing seems out of place. Any suggestions?
