Officejet 6300 intercepts jobs sent to Color Laser 4700n and prints garbage

I added to my network a Color Laserjet 4700n and assigned an IP address. When I print to the 4700n, the Officejet 6300 (on the same network) intercepts the print job and starts printing a line of garbage and ejecting multiple pages. I haven't been able to find a way to assign an IP address to the Officejet 6300. Does anyone have any ideas how to keep these two printers from interfering from each other? Thanks.

To set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • 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.

  • Favorite Color Laser Multi Function Printer

    Hi,
    We have four computers all running OS 10.6 connected to Airport Extreme base. Currently using Brother 5440 inkjet connected via Ethernet to the Airport. It scans from all computers, albeit with an occasional restart of the printer. We're looking to replace it (bad printerhead) with a Multi Function Laser device. I've read many reviews, etc complaining about inability to scan over the network or driver problems (HP 1312) for instance. My printer tech person recommends Canon 8350 or HP 1312. Any thoughts on the best Snow Leopard compatible Color Laser MF Printer?

    After long consideration and being fed up with issues with HP printers in he past (especially with limited functionalities with Mac OS), I bought me a Canon MP560 this summer.
    I think it's a great value for money, to refill the ink is reasonably priced (o.k., it could always be cheaper), but my most favorite feature is that I can print and scan from anywhere in the house. So far I am very pleased with both the scanning and printing results. Installation and handling of the SW suite is a child's play.
    If I had to print more I would actually look into a Laser / LED MFP... perhaps the Brother MFC-9120CN or its wireless brother MFC-9320CW, which costs actually quite a bit more.
    Unfortunately, as it seems, Canon has nothing to offer in this class of printers at reasonable prices that are also rated high.
    Just my 10 cents.

  • Is it possible to create a PDF with different colors for screen and printing?

    I'm working on a document that features light colored text on a dark background. I'll be sending this document as a PDF to someone who will likely want to print it. Is it possible to set up the document such that it will display this way when viewed on screen, but will print as black text on a white background, without requiring any special action on the part of the recipient?
    Printing a color separation of just the text color produces exactly the results I'm after, but I can't ask the recipient to do that. I need it to happen automatically any time it's printed.
    I've tried setting up a duplicate text layer in black and placing it under the background layer, then setting the background layer and colored text to 'never print'. This works within Acrobat Pro, but not when I print the same document from Preview.
    Is there an acrobat equivalent of a CSS print stylesheet?
    Thanks.

    Create the document in layers with the background on a seperate layer than the text. Export the PDF with"Create Acrobat Layers" selected (it will need to be at least version 1.5).
    Open the PDF in Acrobat, choose the background layer then Options>Properties>Initial State and under "print" choose "Never prints".

  • View History of Print Jobs alongside w/ corresponding Form Name and Printer

    Hi guys,
    Just a small question. I have to do a particualr investigtion of a particular Job Order(Service). One of them includes checking the print history of its corresponding form name(sapscript), and printer device used for it.
    Is there a SAP table or TCode where this can be accessed?
    Thanks again and good day.

    Hi,
    SP01 transaction gives the details about printer and the spool. If you are able to recollect the scripts name by checking the spool output then this transaction will help you.
    In SP01 transaction, there are two tabs - Output request and spool request. Check both.
    The data of spool output and printer is stored in table from TSP01 till TSP09. But i dont think you would get the script or form name. You can only get the spool output from which you should determine the script/smartform used.
    Best regards,

  • Email download changes color to blue and prints blue

    I recently purchased a Satellite Pro L300=EZ1523 and all is great except when I download attachment from email it turns the color to blue and also prints out in blue color.  This seems to come from Picasa3.  How can I fix this issue?  My documents print out the way they should.  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,  dml

    You just changing the color on runtime without saving it, next time you launch the form it will read the default properties set. Follow the steps in the below post written by jmcilhinney 
    to create the settings (remember to create unique  and easy to refer names):
    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?681367-RESOLVED-Save-Load-TextBox-BackColor
    and then from your code you can set the new colors as following:
    Dim slateBlue As Color = Color.FromName("AliceBlue")
    My.MySettings.Default.BackColor = slateBlue
    Like this everytime you change the color will be saved in the temp folder of the user machine and will be retreived on each launch.
    You will be able to see the new settings created in your app.config as below:
    <userSettings>
    <WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
    <setting name="BackColor" serializeAs="String">
    <value>255, 192, 192</value>
    </setting>
    </WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
    </userSettings>
    Just a note that changing the above value in the code will not reflect in app.config file, rather since it is a user scoped variable it will be saved in C:\Users\{YourUsername}\AppData\Local\  under you application dir in the file user.config as
    below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <configuration>
    <userSettings>
    <WindowsApplication2.My.MySettings>
    <setting name="BackColor" serializeAs="String">

  • HP Color Laser Jet 2600n Printer

    I was printing with this printer and finished the job. I sent a new job to the printer and it does not print. I printed a test page and it printed. I checked to make sure the printer was online and it was. The message to print displays in the control panel for the printer, but the printer does not print.

    OK
    The printer you have does not support Apple Airprint so you need a work around .
    The software I pointed you to, loads onto a PC or Apple mac and through your wifi picks up the print request from the ipad and allows you to print on the HP.The PC or Mac has to be running for this to work as does the wifi
    You can download a trial which works for 7 days and if you are happy with it you can purchase the license for permanent use

  • Color Laser Jet CP2025 prints slowly from Photoshop

    I have an HP Color LaserJet CP2025. From time to time, it prints from my Mac very slowly--usually from a Photoshop file. I understand that those are big files, but, it's taken 30 minutes for files smaller than 35M.  Seems a bit unreasonable.  Please help!
    Thanks,
    KristifromMN

    Hello KristifromMN
    I understand you are experiencing slow printing from your Laserjet CP2025. Could you verify what type of Mac you have? Click here to find out: Finding your OS.
    How is this printer connected? Wireless, USB or Ethernet.
    Just to verify, are you only experiencing "slow printing" from just Photoshop File or other Files?
    Usually, if this is only happening in one program, especially since this is a "Adobe based program", based on my experience in this field, Adobe usually takes a longer time to print. You are also printing big files.
    However, I am going to recommend an HP document on Slow Printing Using a Mac. Make sure you have performed all the Apple updates on your computer.
    You can try to uninstall/reinstall your software to see if this makes a difference.
    If you have any further questions please let me know.

  • 4600 color laser Cyan tone - printing blue dots??

    Bought HP C9721A Cyan tone from Staples on 4/20/09.  The toner printed fine for a while. Now it prints small blue dots accross the page.
    1) Can this be fixed?
    2) What is HP's refund policy on toners?
    Any help would be appreciated! I paid $260 for this toner!

    You get what you asked for - a composite CMYK print. This is normal and expected behavior. If you wanted to print a solid color, you'd have to use spot colors, but those cost extra and I doubt you can get that from a cheap&dirty online printing service, anyway. The only reason it works with black is because it is printed as text black, which is treated differently from the other colors. Again, there is nothing wrong here, you just lack an understanding of the whole process. Read up on all the theoretical stuff about CMYK color model, ink separation, halftone screens and all that and how to correctly handle colors in AI to improve the quality of your output....

  • Which Wifi Color Laser Printer is the best?

    OK my wife and I are recent converts to Apple and we both have Macbook Pro's, running the latest Lion.  I have a wireless network setup with an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule.  My Old Ricoh Color Laser is giving me fits trying to connect it to my network so I am looking for advice on what has the best Apple Compatability.  I have a Brother black and white multi function but I read reviews stating that a brother color laser would not print properly in "color" on a Mac.  This whole thing is confusing.  I had my Ricoh up and Running with Snow Leopard but not with LION! This is so confusing.  Please help me make my house a "Windows Free Zone"
    Thanks in Advance

    I second Rudy's opinion on the Brother 5250DN, as far as a b&w laser printer goes! I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and the setup was super-easy. It has a great feature-set with 1200 dpi and auto-duplexing. The Brother installation software worked wonderfully to set up both Macs and PC almost automatically (I did change it to a static IP address after installation). The built-in ethernet print server's embedded web server administration IS accessible from both PCs and Macs (unlike what I have seen with my HP Directjet web server which I have only been able to access from a PC even with the latest firmware: the only thing that comes up if I try to access the HP Directjet web server administration from Macs is "Hewlett Packard. Macintosh OS is not supported to run this application.")
    The Brother's two manuals are well-written and easy to understand also, more so than the manual for the HP 2605DN, which I downloaded (I was thinking about the HP 2605DN for a color-printer).
    I am very happy with the Brother and its Mac support!

  • Labels. Confusing. It colors the folder and text in a block of color.

    I've written before about this. I'm wishing and hoping Apple has "fixed" the options for colorizing folders.
    My problem is that after using a label color, the folder and the entire line of text are colored in a block of color. With several folders colored, in column view, it looks horrible and it is impossible to tell which folder is the currently highlighted one - the one I am working in.
    I did purchase Color Labels, and it does a much better job - it just colors the folder and leaves the text alone. But it has many limitations.
    I'm wondering if Apple has changed anything. As I recall, very many others complained about this.
    Thanks for any help.

    George
    This is very helpful information (I'll go back and mark it as such after I post this - a clumsy rating system but...)
    Your first point, fo rhte most part, solves my problem. Though the ideal would be the reverse, which is what Color Labels does; the folder get colored and the line of text is left alone. So much cleaner, less cluttered and garish. But I'm glad to get this much.
    Your second point is very noteworthy as well. I never noticed the subtle differences. Likewise with your third point.
    With all this in mind, I'm going to try going back to Apple's labeling, and forgo my Color Labels app for a while.
    Thanks again

  • HP Color LaserJet 5550 and Tiger (10.4.11) Driver Problem

    I have recently acquired a Color LaserJet 5550hdn. I have updated all drivers and firmware available from the HP Website (Printer Driver, 5550 firmware and Jetdirect 610n firmware). The printer has been factory reset/cold reset etc. to purge any previous custom settings. I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (933mhz) and Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11). I have made some test prints from both Preview and iPhoto and all have been dark and muddy with respect to colors. I have printed the same images from my wife's PC with HP's PCL 6 Driver for Windows XP and achieve satisfactory results with respect to color (that is to say, without fooling with any color settings in the driver, the image is at least within 10% of the color gamut compared to the screen image). Setting up the printer with the HP Postscript Driver for XP yields similar results as the Mac, dark and muddy colors. So is this a problem with the HP Postscript Driver? Is this a Mac OS X Tiger problem? Do users have color problems with the printer running the Leopard driver? 
    I previously owned a HP Color LaserJet 8550 (utilizing the same HP Driver for Mac OS X that the 5550 uses) and had default images (no fooling with any color settings in the driver) that were acceptable, again within 10% or less of the screen image color gamut.
    I have also downloaded HP's ICC color profiles (CMYK and sRGB) and put them in library/printers/hp/profiles.
    With respect to the driver itself, there are two areas in the print dialogue box which seem to have a bearing on color. One is Colorsync and the other is Color Options. Colorsync has two choices ('Standard' and 'In Printer') and I chose 'In Printer' to I assume bypass any Colorsync Conversion. When 'Standard' is chosen the print summary shows the HP Color LaserJet CMYK profile being used. There seems to be no way of changing the default setting in the Colorsync Utility to HP Color LaserJet sRGB. Not sure if it matters as the output for both 'Standard' and 'In Printer' seem to yield the same results. The options under 'Color Options" in the driver under the 'Show Advanced Options' have choices (Basic, Text, Graphics, Photographs, Advanced) and I have played with these to some extent. Although they seem to have some effect on the image, the print is still dark and muddy with respect to colors.
    On a final note I have tried a 'GutenPrint' driver to see if it would yield different results.....there was not one for the 5550 so I used a driver for the Color LaserJet 5500......it would only print in grayscale....the resulting image did not look very promising even if it had printed in color.
    Insights on any of the above from the community here would be most helpful!
    Thanks,
    -Ray 

    This is an update to my own post above. I downloaded the Mac OS 9 driver (yes OS 9!, but the QuickSilver is Dual Boot) for the Color LaerJet 5550 and printed (no changes to any of the driver settings) the same image (photo) as I used in Mac OS X. The image was still dark but not as poor from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Although I prefer not to use color management, I used the Colorsync tab in the driver and chose to match to Colorsync with a generic sRGB output profile (no other settings were changed in the HP color options tab). The resulting image was +/- 5% within the color gamut of the screen image (yeah!!!) In Tiger the options under the Colorsync tab in the driver are 'Standard' or 'In Device' and regardless of the choice, the print result is the same, very dark and muted colors. There is no option for sRGB and if set to 'Standard' the print summary always shows a CMYK profile being utilized. Given that the HP Color LaserJet 5550 is an sRGB printer as per HP, perhaps that is a problem? I would assume the 'In Device' option would bypass Colorsync (since there seems to be no other way to turn it off) and use sRGB, but that does not seem to make a difference in the image being printed.
    My good success with an OS 9 driver leads me to believe I have a driver problem in Tiger. However, I have no problems with other printers (HP All in One, DesignJet Color Plotter and wide format Epson inkjet....all of which are older) with respect to poor color output. Given this is a current model in the HP line-up and I believe in service during Mac OS X Tiger, it seems hard to fathom other users do/did not experience a problem.
    Again, do Leopard users have a problem with color issues on this printer with default driver settings? Does anyone have driver settings/other insights they could share with respect to Tiger to at least get the print image somewaht close to the screen image? As it stands now, regardless of settings, the printed image is dark with muted colors.
    Thnaks to anyone who can respond, even if it is to say they have no problems in Leopard/Snow Leopard as I am upgrading to a new Mac soon.

  • Multiply filter in illustrator with a 2 color job-pdf and print issues?

    Hi,
    Encountering a tricky problem and not sure if its an InDesign fix or an Illustrator fix.
    I am working on a 2 color job—pms color + black on a book cover. The cover needs to seperate into these 2 colors.
    Also, I need to make a high res and lowres pdf that look like the cover to send out to marketing, sales etc.
    WHAT's THE PROBLEM?...
    Well, I am creating a collage with black ink vector graphics on top of the pms background. I created this art in illustrator CS3. it is saved as an .eps file. The illos were done by someone who used a white fill to knock out black areas. There is also a wide 50% grey outline around the illustration.
    I like the idea of the line of the illo being black and the fill being red so that it looks seethrough on the red background. But the 50% grey outline causes a problem...I'd like the 50% outline to blend with the red color, so instead of appearing like there is white in the ink it overprints.
    The only way I could think of (and quickest way) was to apply the multiply filter in illustrator to the vector illo. This seemed to work great.
    I brought the illo into InDesign CS3 where I created my cover layout.
    Looks great, Prints great. Separations appear to be good, although it shows the yellow, cyan, and majenta layer they appear to be blank, so I think it will seperate nicely into 2 plates–PMS + black.
    BUT, when I make a pdf, using "smallest file size" or using "high quality print", the pdf it makes does not show the illustrations in the collage. They are kind of beige and dulled out. The publisher needs pdfs too.
    Does this at all indicate that this job will not print correctly using this multiply filter, or is it all well and good final product wise, but its just an issue making the pdf? I am slightly nervous I am going to send this off to the printer and they will have some issue.
    I am a professional designer of 10 years with lots of print experience, but I have never used multiply in illustrator so I just want to make sure there is no rule against doing this I should know about. Does multiply at all mess with the color separations or is it fine? And how do I get my pdf to come out right? I'm hoping there's some dumb thing I'm forgetting, or a simple fix.
    Thanks for any insight you may have!
    L.

    If you don't feel comfortable using Multiply you might want to communicate with the printer and ask if this is an issue for them to reproduce correctly. Some printers using older rips may have issues with transparency. If you can't speak directly with your printer you could mark up the file or make a PDF to accompany the working file with your comments about what prints at what percentage, and if it should overprint or knockout. Years ago I would get a file with transparency in it and have to make sure the designers intent was clear. This was in some cases due to the designer not understanding blend modes or what he/she wanted overprinting or knocking out in the printed piece. The other way you can confirm the separations are going to rip correctly is to print a PDF out of Indesign and open it in Acrobat pro. Under Advanced>Print Production>Output Preview you can turn on and off separations for the 2 spot colors in question. Because PDF acts as your rip in this case you should be seeing what separations your printer will be printing using your native Indesign file. Some print shops will require you to provide a PDF or a color laser print out for QA of your printed piece when sending files to prepress.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Need assistance w/ Printing to a Panasonic KX-CL400 Color Laser

    Ever since I got my Mac Book Pro, currently running OS 10.6.8, I have never been able to configure it to print with my existing printer Panasonic KX-CL400 Color laser printer.
    The Panasonic web site drivers seem outdated and are not working currently. I have been able to get the printer to work correctly with Windows 7; but not been successful on the Mac.
    I tried to call Panasonic, but no response or support.  Hoping someone can help!  printer is only 3-4 years old... works well with Windows print jobs. 
    Thanks in advance..
    Sravan

    The Panasonic drivers will not work in 10.6.x.  The printer extensions are PPC only.
    If you have the PostScript option installed, you can use the Generic PostScript printer driver.  Otherwise, you can use the "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)" from the pxlmono package found on the OpenPrirnting.org site.
