LaserJet Pro 500 color printing quality

Hi,
Last May, I bought the HP LJ Pro 500 MFP 570n printer and since then I have PQ problem.  When printed, the documents are not as what is on the screen:  B&W pictures are green and white; colour pictures are bland and too dark.
There is no problem when scanning.
HP provided me with Level 1 Maintenance, meaning changing yellow cartridge, changing the HV power supply, and changing the Transfer Belt.  Driver has been updated and color calibrated.
According to Level 2 Maintenance Management, located in Bangalore, India, there is no such PQ issue.

Color calibration may not be the only way to achieve color match output with a printer (irrespective of drivers or operating system). 
To actually achieve WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) (i.e very close color match) you might need to use an additional software/hardware to perform color calibration between the different devices which are involved in creating, editing & printing the particular image or document (like scanner, camera, printer, monitor etc.)
If you are looking for nearest color match using the product's inbuilt options, then you may print & use RGB & CMYK Samples (use the information menu from device control panel for printing these samples).
Use the color mix as given in the samples while editing your documents/images.  Also try to  use the other advanced color match options available using the printer driver properties.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn won't print

    My HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn stopped printing after a short usage of non hp toner. How do I get this printer to accept these toner cartridge ? My 3600dn never has a problem

    If you are using non-HP toner cartridges, then I would say that the onus is on the supplier of these to resolve the problem.
    Or to accept that these cartridges aren't quite as compatible as they've no doubt been advertised to be.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer M451dn Driver needed

    I need to install an HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer.  When I plug in the USB - it provides a driver which I can open and get to the install process -  The process takes me to the point of plugging in the USB and starts to install.
    After 10 minutes and getting to 99% complete the install stops because it is taking to long.
    I have searched for the driver on the web site but when I click on the printer name - the HP web site goes into an
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    Need help with installing this printer - this printer is only available to me by USB

  • Getting Darker Blacks from My HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer

    Hi. I own an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer and am on a Windows XP system. For regular printing, it works great. However, for some graphic work I am doing, I can not get the blacks to print out dark enough. I can not find any settings on the print properties panel that would allow me to set a darker black coverage. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hey,
    I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro.  Have you tried a full network power cycle?
    Unplug the router and printer while on
    Power down the iOS device completely.  Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_​iphone.htm
    Wait 30 seconds
    Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
    Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
    Power the iOS device back up
    It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.  
    If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa​dIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&​...
    Let me know how it goes.

  • LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 walk up usb printing

    We have a few  LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 that we use with walk up usb printing.
    the problem is that somtimes when a document is saved directly on the usb drive you get two files called "documentname.pdf" and "._documentname.pdf", now the hidden file is normaly a few kb in size and no problem exept it shows up as the first documents on the printer and this makes the printer spew out random characters,
    is there a way to make the printer not show hidden files?

  • HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer with Apple iPad & iPhones

    I have an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer that I've successfully used as an "air print" device to print from both iPhones and iPads.  For some unknown reason, I can't print from iPhones and iPads anymore.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Is this a result of Apple most recent iOS upgrades?  Everything was working with iOS 6.0.x and seems to have stopped working with iOS 6.1.x.
    I "think" I'm try to determine what I need to upgrade (printer firmware or iOS device firmware . . . or both).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting great plain paper printing, however, my labels are coming out with sporadic patches of white where there should be color, especially along the edges.  Also, the black text is printing light "shadow" text in areas that should be white/unprinted.  Can anyone help?

  • Laserjet Pro 200 Color Printing Horizontal Red Lines

    When I print in color, I get horizontal red lines across my page.  When I print in black and white, it doesn't happen.  I've cleaned & calaborated the printer & it's still doing this.  Can anyone help?

    Hi @kjatc,
    I see that you are getting red horizontal lines when printing in color. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue today.
    I would do a hard reset to see if will help.
    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 document with the steps for calibrating and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue. Some of the steps you have already tried, but please try the other steps listed. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
    Print a Diagnostics Page: Go to Setup, Reports Menu, Diagnostics Page.
    Update the printer's firmware. Software and Drivers. Select Go under Option 2.
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
    What are the toner levels?
    What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics Page?
    This will help determine if it is just one specific toner, possibly a fuser or hardware issue with the toner. Feel free to include a screen shot of both pages.
    If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
    Please let me know the results. Thank You.

  • Laserjet Pro CP1525 color printing question

    This is a color printer, but what if I am only printing a document that is just text (black and white).  Do I need to so into my printer setting everytime and change it to grayscale just to print or worry that it will use the color to make black?
    I always had to worry about this with another brand, the salesguy says this printer automatically does what it's supposed to, but I see no documentation in the manuals to prove that.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer Offline - Windows 8.1

    Hello:
    This subject appears to re-appear a lot, but I am getting nowhere in how to fix it.  I have tried various steps recommended on how to resolve this, but it is not working consistently.
    I have 3 PC's:  2 desktops and 1 laptop running Windows 8.1.
    I have a wireless network with WEP encription.  I have connected the printer to the network.  The printer IP config is set to channel 6.  The firmware date code is 20121026.
    Every time I try to print, the printer is offline.  Sometimes I can fix this by removing the printer from the device listings and then scanning for new printers.  When I do this, it will print for the session I am using the computer, but soon afterwards it goes offline again.
    When I plug a computer directly to the printer, it usually works, but not always. 
    It seems to me that this is a PC driver problem - not the printer, but I am not sure.
    Thanks,
    Scott Nichos

    Thanks for clarifying Scott,
    From the printer front panel, click the Setup icon and then tap the Service option.
    Select Laserjet Update and then press on Check for Updates now
    Allow the printer to complete the task till the update completes.
    If the update fails or the device show that the latest update is already installed, temporary connect the printer to your PC with a USB and then update the firmware by running this tool.. be sure to select the newly added USB queue and not the existing network queue:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-108129-6&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Once the update completes, the firmware datecode should appear as 20140521.
