My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

Hi,
If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.

  • I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it.  The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Clark
    There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
    Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
    If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
    Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up. 
    From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

    Hi iphoneozqld,
    If your Apple TV appears to have stopped updating, I would recommend a restart, and if issues continue, a restore:

  • My screen seems to have frozen and does not respond when I touch. I tried to shut it off and when the red slider comes up, it does not let me slide it off.

    My ipad screen seems to have frozen. I tried to turn it off and the red slider does not respond when I slide it. What can I do?

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting. Let it do that and see if you're unfrozen.

  • Can you install the HP color Laser Jet CP1215 on a Mountain Lion Macbook Pro?

    I can not get the HP Laserjet CP1215 to work with my Macbook Pro running ML. Please help.

    It's hard to answer without know which variant of the iMac you have or what Mac OS version you have. However, when I checked the HP web site, they do not show Mac driver support for this printer model.
    Sounds like they plan no Mac support for this model in the future, per this quote from their support page for that printer:
    We have received inquiries about Macintosh support for the HP LaserJet 1018, LaserJet 1018s, LaserJet 1020, LaserJet 1020 Plus, LaserJet CP1215, and LaserJet CP1217 printers. We are sorry to inform you that there is no Macintosh support available for your HP product.

  • Color Laser Jet 5500dn Leaves Line on Every Print

    1. Product Name and Number - HP Color Laser Jet 5500dn
     2. Operating System installed - NA, But Mac OSX Lion
     3. Error message (if any) - NA
     4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred - None   
    Hi Everyone,
    Every time we print from the printer we get a faint line across the headed of the page about one inch from the top.  The line appears even when we "print" a blank page.  The line appease on both sides of the page when printing single or double sided.  It seems to fade when we print a lot of pages.  We have changed the toner and cleaned the Fuser Input.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks so much,
    The Timestar Team

    Hi TimestarTechLLC,
    The HP Color Laserjet 5500dn is a commercial printer. I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
    Here is the link to the Commercial Laserjet board:

  • Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

    Good Afternoon,
    I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue.  I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches.  On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.  
    I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

    We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

  • Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

    Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print!  I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12.  I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version.  It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened."  I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck.   Any other ideas? 

    I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

  • Mac Lion OS print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & business inkjet 2200

    I just brought a Macbook Air (13in) with the new OS Lion.  I however have a HP Color Laserjet 1600 and Business Inkjet 2200 that I love, but can't find a printer driver for either.  So, my questions are, does anyone know if:
    1)  there is going to be a mac lion os print driver for hp color laser jet 1600 & Business Inkjet 2200; or
    2)  is there another way to print to them (i.e., the 2200 uses HPA instead of PS and the 1600 uses PCL)?

    Any suggestions re correct driver for windows 7 and HP 4600dn?

  • No printing Windows 8.1 64 bit printing to a Laser Jet 3550 USB

    I purchased a new HP Envy 700 computer with Windows 8.1 i5 (64-bit).  I checked before purchase and made sure drivers were listed at HP.  I have 2 new HP lap tops that do not print but never tried to make them work.  
    Now my HP Color Laser Jet 3550 isn't recognized or print and will not load any drivers.  When I try troubleshooting, it says, no problem found.  The icon is not in the printer control panel.  I Pluged in to USB 2. and 3. ports.  HP technical help was no help.  (My Printer is Old)  No one at HP seems to know about this problem.  Any one have a solution?  Thanks!

  • Lost printing to HP Laser Jet following installation of upgrade 10.8.2

    I noticed from the BB that this issue is already out there, but I am not sure what course of action to take.   I have a IMac with 10.8.2 installed as part of an upgrade from 10.7.x.  My HP Color Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP worked fine.   Once the upgrade nothing.   From the HP support web site, I read the following:
    HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet Printers,  MFPs, and All-in-Ones - Products not supported or with limited support in OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
      which leads me to believe that this printer is "done" and cannot be made to work with this OS.   I am looking for a work around for a perfectly good printer.  HP, while not asked has not offered a solution and my take from Apple is that the new OS is supposed to take care of all the issues, both old and new.   I am willing to uninstall any an all software if it will solve the problem.   I am not interested in returning to another older OS.   I did install the new patch provided by Apple, it did not work and I may need to redo if not done correctrly.   It did not solve the problem.   Has anyone found a workable solution to this problem?   I would be appreciative to any suggestions that will help.   Thanks 

    Thanks for this response.  I was able to get the printer working following a bunch of "re-tuning" of setting and the like.   To be clear, I did install this patch from Apple.   While Apple or HP is not clear, I found that it was better to clean house of all old printer (HP listings), remove sharing from the network settings, installing the patch at least twice and then selecting the printer a second time around.   Lo and behold, I selected " Print a Test Page" and after what I thought was a long wait, got the completed test page.  As indicated on the HP web page, I did lose the ability to scan via the HP Director software.  Not sure that will be a problem as I can still scan to the external memory card and save the image(s).   Progess and change has its cost and I will have to accept this change as part of that evolution.   The new Mac OS has removed many of the folders etc that I was familiar with from earlier times.   The good news is that I can print and that is what really matters.   Thanks again for your suggestion.
