Printer Hp Color laserjet

I just bought an iMac. Have always been a PC user. Now I cannot use my new color laser jet. No drivers available from HP and software doesn't show in my printer file on my mac. Boo hoo! What to do? What to do.

What printer model is it?

Problems with printing( hp Color LaserJet)

Printer HP Color LaserJet 1500L under Mac OS 10.4.2 Tiger refuses to work normally. It prints 1 or sometimes 2 sheets of paper and then it stops working. All other tasks just move from the active category into completed one without any printing. Printer's indicator starts to wink but then it stops and nothing more happens. The next printing begins only after switching the printer off and on or after restarting operation system. After this it prints 1 or 2 pages and everything begins again. We tryed to use standart drivers which were attached to the printer and the drivers which we downloaded from the HP official site. There is no difference. We tryed to connect the printer to another Macintosh computer under Mas OS X 10.4.2 but the problems didn't disappear. Also we tryed to change USB cable between the printer and the computer. It also didn't matter. Before it the printer worked under Windows XP normally without any problems.

Same printer, similar problems. I get stopped jobs that refuse to print even after I hit the start printing button. There is a message on this site tackling this issue for an Epson printer. Haven’t tried it out yet myself.

Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

Hi,
I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
On the other computers....
The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
These computers are all running 10.6.
I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
Just trying to help.

Cannot print to Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

I have a HP Color Laserjet MFP M177fw hard wired to my router. I can print from internet explorer, chrome and other applications such as Office and Notepad, etc. I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I can get to the print dialogue page and hit print but nothing comes out and I can't see any jobs stuck in the print queue.
I am using an HPtouch computer with Windows 8.1

I have the same problem for my 177fw. It does connect to my desktop via wireless connection when I check the control panel, yet no printing job could be done and they just disappear in the queue list. Sorry to say that, Ms. Helen-Hua, but I don't think "trying to print as image" can help to solve the problem no matter what result it is. For most people I don't think they would accept a printer that cannot print a simple text document.
Look forward to receiving working solution.
PS. The wireless connection has absolutely no problem for my win 7 laptop and my desktop which is formerly win 7. The problem only happen when the computer is upgraded to win 8.1 and another brand-new win 8 desktop.

Wireless Printing for Color Laserjet 2505dn

I keep getting emails from HP regarding wireless printing. So, I'm trying to find out if mine is compatible to do it. I have a Color Laserjet 2505dn printer. I think it is too old and is not compatible but I was hoping someone can tell me for sure if there is possibly a way to do it. I have a wireless router to my computer but can it reach my printer?
Thanks
Walter

Hello WalterK,
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, for this type of printer, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums. This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue. Good luck.

Booklet printing HP Color LaserJet CP1514n missing

Printer Type HP Color LaserJet CP1514n.Service ID: 19027 Firmware datecode: 20130923 Start condition : Win7 (64-bit). HP UPD version: 6.0.0.18849 61.175.1.18849Action: Print in any application - Dialog : Print properties --> Finishing-->Pages per sheetExpect: "2 pages per sheet" Option: Booklet Mode: ...Get: NO booklet mode is availableProblem: Option for Booklet mode is no longer possible. Previous situation: Win 7 (32bit) in identical laptop. Booklet mode printing was possible at all time. I have updated the printer firmware once and the Win drivers twice. Normal printing is OK. But the much-used and loved booklet option is sorely missed!Thanks!

Hi , I see that you are missing the Booklet mode when using another Laptop running Windows 7. I would like to help you.
I checked the web site and see that there are basic drivers available for the printer as well as the Windows Update drivers.I would suggest to try the basic drivers, they may have been the ones installed on the other Laptop and not the Updates.Try the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 (64-bit) and the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript (64-bit) to see if the Booklet option is available.

Why does IE 9 say internal error and cannot print to Color Laserjet 2600n?

IE 9 displays message "Internal error, cannot print page" when I try to print to a networked Color Laserjet 2600n. Printing works well on my other networked HP printer.

The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

Trying to print to Color Laserjet CP2025n from OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro over the network...

Basically, the configuration and drive status all seem OK. But when I try to print something from Adobe Reader, nothing happens after I click print other than the dialog dissappearing. There are no indications of error either. And when I bring up the printer queue, it is completely empty, as if the document was not even sent to it.
I am seeing HP Color Laserjet CP2025n (F4F285) in the Printer selection, as well as in the System Preferences. And from System Preferences, it shows up as "Idle, last used" with a green dot. I have attached full System Diagnostics, Bluetooth Diagnostics (although, I believe this is network'd over the LAN), and the System Report of my Mac Pro. You can see these @
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2wbE3EVNff3WUNQR2RPTjRmejA&usp=sharing
The other week it printed fine, but it I think I recall seeing two options in the Printer selection box. Now it only shows one, but again, the drivers indicate that everything is alright. I can even view the amount of ink remaining?

Hi @jahburnit
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer series support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Print quality color laserjet 2600n

The company I work for has a Color LaserJet 2600n. We continually run into a problem with the print quality. When we print a demo page, the colors seem fine. Then we try to print a document or handout that has color in it, and the edges along the sides of the paper fade and the colors seem spotty, at best, and usually the colors are faded. I have even tried changing the printer properties to lighter, heavier and even glossy paper, and ther is just no discernable difference in quality. I have also cleaned the printer and changed the ink cartridges and, again, there are no differences. The colors simply seem to fade near the edges of the paper. Is there anything that can be done?

Hi balaspa; Hope you are doing well;
Your HP laserjet 2600n is a commercial product. I will suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

Purchase of a printer in color laserjet

dear sir
my client requires printer where he has to certificates whose thickness is 22gsm

In the print dialog underneath the settings for number of copies and print range you should see a dropdown menu probably called Layout. If you don't see that look for a button labeled Details and click it.
Under the Layout menu you should find an option labeled Printer where you will find Printer specific options. Look for something there. You might also find an option called Color which may have options you are looking for.
If this doesn't help, go to the printer manufacturer's website and look for answers there.

Cannot print -- random text & blank pages when printing -- HP Color Laserjet 3600N

Apple Support Community,
I'm having some trouble connecting my computer and printer via a network connection. The printer functions fine among other computers (Mac, PC) connected via a network connection, but one particular MacBook is giving me trouble.
I can get the printer and laptop to connect, however when I try to print, it gets buggy on me. Usually it will print a page with some random text, followed by an excess amount of blank pages, then another page with text similar to the first. The text usually has information including font types and other formatting data, but not what was "printed."
I have tried to update the printer drivers, but I cannot get the printer utility to utalize them. After installing the most recent drivers, it will continue to suggest the generic laser printer drivers (1.0 verison), or I can choose other printer drivers (including "base" 3000 model drivers), but the 3600N drivers are not avalible on the list. Both the generic drivers and the HP drivers give me the random text upon printouts.
The laptop is a MacBook Pro with 10.6.
What is the best course of action to remedy the printer problem?
Thanks!
Jel.

Over the holidays, I spent a couple of hours on the phone with HP, a couple with Microsoft, and previously with Apple. Microsoft said they are working on updates, should be fixed by the release of Office 2008. Apple says there's a compatibility issue among the HP printer and Leopard and "some" programs. HP tells me it's an "old" printer (which they were happy to sell me in April 2007) and they may not release new drivers. HP also says Apple knows there are printing issues.
In the meantime, I'm using Pages and shopping for a new non-HP printer.

I can print to another postscript printer perfectly fine, and also to the pdf 9 printer. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hello @ Averus89,
Welcome to the HP forum. 
I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
I would like to help you with this issue. 
If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
would set a manual DNS. 
I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
The DNS to try is:
Primary: 209.244.0.3
Secondary: 209.244.0.4
Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again.
Let me know if this helps.

HP color laserjet printer on a networked windows xp Machine

printer, I have an hp color laser jet connected to a computer on my in house wireless network. How do i tel my imac to use it. I just bought this imac and I am new to apple. I would really appreciate any advice I could get to get the mac to print.
printer: HP color laserjet 1600 (connected to the xp computer)
Computer: Windows running XP up to date
Network: Cisco router wireless network

You will need to turn on Sharing on both computers and specifically printer sharing. I would recommend you contact AppleCare (phone number is in your owners manual) and may be able to help you. Remember they are Apple Techs so there is a good chance they're not trained on MS Windows. I'd recommend Googling something like Printer sharing Windows XP.
For example I found this link:
