Post 10.4.3 update, HP printer color problems, sharing problems

Hi all
Hope you could help me; I've looked everywhere for tips, but I've not been able to find anything.
Setup: HP deskjet 5700 plugged into my G5 via USB. I've got a Powerbook 12" as well, and all is connected via an Airport Express to a DSL modem.
I've used this setup to print from both the G5 and the Powerbook, via a printer share setup on the G5. It has worked like a charm.
After the 10.4.3 update, my printer has performed erroneously. First of all, when I go to print from the Powerbook, the printer share of the G5 does not show up. If I switch the share on and off on the G5, it "broadcasts" the share just fine, and I can get to print from the Powerbook again. A minor annoyance, but when I need to do it all the time it becomes a pain.
But worse yet, another problem arose. The printer output became flakey: Sometimes a picture would print out just fine, and sometimes the printout would seemingly lack one of the primary colors! It seems completely random. This is the same, no matter if I print out through the share or directly to the printer from either computer. Also, some pictures would print out with bands of missing colors. Very odd. Yes, I have tried to clean the printer, print out test pages etc. It's not the printer itself! The printer works just fine.
I tried to delete the printer in the printer utility and then add it again. No avail. I tried to perform a permissions repair, no avail.
On top of this is I found an odd thing. The driver version is 2.7.1, and if you find the HP deskjet installer on HP's website, it's the same version. Fine and all, but here's the strange thing: HP Deskjet 5700 does not exist in the support pages of HP! So I have a printer they say never existed... :-P
Could anybody give me a hint as to what I could try? Thanks!

macjack made some comments on my other question regarding the time machine problem and his comments helped me solve the problem with the JMP software. The time machine is problematic and from time to time has issues. It seems though that if you reset the in the system then it comes back o.k. I hope that in the future when I have to restore something it will be there for me.

    Hey Verizon / HTC / Google  Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE.  This is a major Problem. 

    I have provided some steps below that may help with the Caller Id issue you are experiencing.
    Try completing a soft reset on the device. A soft reset would be powering the device off and pulling out the battery. Once the battery is removed, place it back in and power the device back on.
    Dial *228 and send. Once dialed, listen for the recording to prompt you for option 1 and select option 1. The phone should complete its programming within a minute.
    Ensure you are using the area-code and 7 digit number format (ex. 9999951212)
    Try removing the contact and re-adding it.

  • Hp6110xi all in one printer does not print color

    HP all in one HP 6110xi stop printing in color. This printer is 5 years old and has print color before. I update to the only drive online. Still nothing.

    There is no cartridge expiration on the Officejet 6110 that would cause it to stop printing in color.  The end of warranty date (as shown here) is simply the end of warranty, the cartridge may continue to be used after that date.
    There are a few things to check:  what happens when you select a color copy?  Are there any error messages?  Does the printer go through the motions of printing but with a blank page?

  • Won't Print Color After Operating System Upgrade

    Within the last year I purchased a LaserJet CP1525nw color, and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and now I can't print color.  I've tried loading the driver from the CD that originally came with the print and I get an error message saying that it can not install the driver.  I've looked on the HP website to see if there are any updates for this printer and I can't seem to find any.  I was able to find a list of devices that are supported by Windows 7, and a list of devices that are not supported by Windows 7 and my printer was not on either list.
    I'm wondering if there is anything that I've missed as far as fixes or updates for this problem, or am I just out of luck with wanting to print color with this printer now that I've upgraded to Windows 7.

    Hi Akfshslyr, 
    Try installing the full feature software and driver for this printer.

  • My 6100 printer has never been able to print color

    From Day 1 it has told me the blue (cyan) cartridge is empty, even when I replaced the starter cartridge with a new one, and it always says that the other colors are "low." I have been printing only black and white words on a page, in fast draft mode, but the one time I tried to print color it failed -- a yellow headline came out white, no color at all.  It always says cyan is empty.  Now it won't print black and white at all. Am I supposed to spend $50+ on all new cartridges every time I need to print something?
    Also, is there some cellophane tape I need to remove inside the printer?  I can see a cellophance coating on the cartridge carriage inside the printer, but there is nothing in the instructions that says to remove it.
    The inability to print color seems a defect to me.  Can I make a return?  I bought it two weeks ago.

    Hi CMBoston,
    I understand you have not been able to print anything in color, and that you see a piece of cellophane tape inside. I would like to help you with this.
    Please use the following document to troubleshoot the quality issue you are experiencing; Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
    The cellophane tape inside the printer should only be removed if the setup guide instructed you to; otherwise, it is part of the inner mechanics.
    I am not sure of the return policy where you bought the printer so I can not answer whether or not you can return the printer, but I can tell you that HP printers have a 1 year manufacture warranty. If you are still experiencing issues after following the steps in the document, call HP. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    I hope this information resolves your inquiry.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 color M451dn Printing Color Streaks: HELP!

    We recently replaced the ink cartridges in our printer, but now, it's printing color streaks on our paper. The weird thing is, it only does this for 4 pages every 4 pages. 4 pages will be okay, then we'll get cyan, magenta, yellow, and black horizontal stripes on the next 4 pages. We think it's because we replaced the Laserjet cartridges with a generic toner. Is there any way to fix this???

  • Acrobat 9 Printer Color Management

    Hello! Around 1 month ago I started work in a new printing house. In my old company I used Acrobat 7 for making post script files but here I have to work with Acrobat 9.
    It is little confusing for me (I am not so familiar with the prepress matter maybe!) because in Acrobat 7 I had a "printer/post script color management" option and in Acrobat 9 by which now I make the ps files I find "printer color management" option without post script mentioned in it.
    So I would wish to ask is this exactly the same option and is there some risk in using it in the same way I did it in the Acrobat 7?  I fear some color changes or even objects losing on the paper next during the printing process...

    It sounds to me like the same option. Perhaps it also applies to non-PostScript printers now. If the printer is capable of good colour management (many are not); and if the PDF is properly tagged with source profiles, no reason why results shouldn't be good.

  • HP2550n Color Laser Jet won't print colors correctly in Win 7

    This printer is an oldie but a goodie, and I don't want to buy a new one, just because I upgraded to Windows7 Pro 64 bit.
    I tried the Unviersal Driver, then the Post Script version, which is better than PCL6, but still not perfect like it was with XP Pro.   Still have pronblems printing colors from Acrobat XI documents - color pictures just print all in soid red.  MS office docs print fine.  
    Is there not a driver that will make this printer work right in Win 7 Pro ???

  • Printer color issues

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050A J611 that the color is way off when it prints.  During the original set up I saw that the color was off and when you put it the sample sheet on the scanner to scan in it wouldn't recognize.  So I don't know how to fix the print color to be what I see on the computer.

    Hi Hoosiergirl,
    Is the Model # for your printer J611g?
    I am linking a troubleshooting document for Print Quality Issues for a Deskjet 3050A - J611g.  Click Here  I recommend that you take a look at these steps for guidance on solving the problem you are having.  It is a good idea to run the cartridge cleaning utility (Solution 6, Step 4) up to 3 times.  Cleaning the cartridge contacts as described in the link can also be helpful.  Let me know how it goes.
    Good Luck !
