Printing photos with Color Laserjet CM1312. Need proper printing software.

I'm trying to print photos from my Color Laserjet CM1312 multi-function printer.
I used to have a Photosmart inkjet, and tried to use the photo-printing softthat came with that printer, as I really like it. But that must have been designed just for ink-jet printers because the printouts end up way too heavy on ink density, to the point that some of the ink is actually scraped off during the printing.
What software should I be using for the color laserjet?
I don't need editing tools as I have Photoshop ... just printing tools.

OK here am I again.
as mentioned before I created an bogus printer with:
lpadmin -p test -v file:/dev/null
verified the presence of the printer;
lpstat -p
$ lpstat -p
printer Color_LaserJet_cp1515n disabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:55:59 PM BRST -
        reason unknown
printer hp930c is idle.  enabled since Thu 31 Jan 2013 11:30:21 PM BRST
printer test is idle.  enabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:54:57 PM BRST
At first "test" printer was disabled for an uknown reason.
tried to use lpadmin -p test to enable the printer as described on the previusly mentioned web site, but couldn't get to enable printer "test". After reading alittle more on the internet I found the command cupsenable <printer> and indeed it changed the printer status.
tried to print;
echo test | lp -d test
result:
$ echo test | lp -d test
lp: Destination "test" is not accepting jobs.
I tried to change the condition of the Color laser printer but did not made any difference with the cups command.
Conclusion: how can I modify this status to make the printer accept jobs?

  • Color laserjet CP1525nw won't print in color

    I installed both the PCL6 and PostScript drivers on my Surface Pro 3 to print to my Color LaserJet CP1525nw.  The printer is connected to my router.  The printer prints but only in grayscale.  What can I do to be able to print in color and continute to print through my router?

    Hi @PaDunc ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues printing in color from the printer connected to the router. I would be happy to help you.
    Please clarify, if the printer is connected to the router by a ethernet or USB cable?
    Did you install just the Universal Print Drivers or did you try the Full Feature Software also?
    I would recommend the Full Feature Software if that isn't one of the drivers you have already tried.
    Try and print the Supplies Status page to see if you have color, just to rule out a hardware issue.
    Printing or Viewing the Supplies Status Page.
    Make sure the greyscale option isn't enabled in the print driver.
    1. From Devices and Printers, right click your printer.
    2. Then click the Printer Properties, Preferences button.
    3. Click the Color tab.
    4. Make sure Print in Grayscale isn't checked.
    Did the colors print?
    What are the toner levels?
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?

  • Is there a univeral printer driver for HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP on Windows 7 64 bit?

    I had bought a HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer last year - up to now I could print out via the computer of my doughter (Windows XP), but now this computer is bugged and I would like to be able to use also my own Windows 7 64 bit Computer. Unfortunately the "Full solution" does not work at all, while there also appears to be no Universal Printer Driver for my special printer. In other words: I can´t use the printer and I am upset (HP at its best?).
    Is there any way to get a printer driver that does what it is supposed to do?

  • Can't print on Windows 8 with Color Laserjet 1600

    I installed DOT4x64.msi on my new HP Windows 8 laptop, since that seems to be the only current way to hook up my Color Laserjet 1600. The printer now shows in the "Devices & Printers" section of the control panel.  But when I try to print something, I get an error message that says I can't print to that printer. I have spent nearly an hour on the phone with HP support with no resolution - in fact, after all this time, was told "this department doesn't support this printer!!!. Any ideas on a solution here? Thanks! 
    PS - I originally posted on a different board, but am hoping someone here can help.

  • Undesirable and random GET_CONFIG pages printing from HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi

    An HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP is printing at what seems as random times two pages.  The first page is a GET_CONFIG page and the second page is a two line page of random giberish characters much like the Windings font.
    Error logs on the printer don't reveal anything is wrong.  It apears that the printer is not aware of these printing events or is not recording them in the logs.
    Something similar to this has been encountered and was a result of bad memory or a corrupted firmware load.
    This sort of behavior was found posted online in a very brief message on HP's site. Different model of course. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/get-config-pages-on-models-CP2025/td-p/1095046  The problem apeared not to be resolved.
    I dislike the event log of these printers. It doesn't define datetime stamp of the events.
    Copied event log:
    Number Code Page
    8 54.2500 2606
    7 54.2500 2598
    6 13.0000 2324
    5 13.0000 2264
    4 13.0000 1503
    3 13.0000 888
    2 13.0000 812
    1 54.2100 0
    The number of events with these symptoms seem pretty sparse. At least those that are reported. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/CM2320fxi-Locks-up-when-printing-from-Ubuntu-9...
    Also, the error 54.xxxx doesn't appear to be documented which makes identifying the problem rather difficult.
    The "Get_Config" occurrences were taking place shortly after the scheduled calibration process occurred. This was discovered by chance when i just happened to walk by and heard the printer spin up and watched it give birth to the get_config pages.  Almost like it was trying to communicate with me.. Perhapse I need to "get_config".  LOL
    As a last resort I reset the NVRAM.  The reset of the NVRAM didn't resolve the problem. There is not enough information available from HP to find a resolution to this problem. This is an attempt to open up a support request with HP or knowledeable HP guru types via this forum.
    Suggestions other than that of  watching and reenacting Office Space are welcome.

    Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
    One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
    Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

    My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color.  It's comes out very light, barely a pink color.  It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

  • HP Color LaserJet 1515n fails to print

    HP Color LaserJet 1515n fails to print
    I had this printer just 13 months, and it has stopped working without giving any kind of error code.
    I ran my black down to 1% using override - and then nothing. The printer accepts jobs and appears to do everything up to the point when it should start feeding paper through the printer transport.
    I changed the black toner, but it made no difference.
    To avoid complex print driver problems I have been using a simple txt file with 'hello world' for testing.
    Having reinstalled the drivers.
    I have done a very extensive web search, I cannot find any appropriate help.
    I took the side off the machine to reveal the electronics, and tested all the connections etc, but cannot find anything obviously wrong.
    The transport mechanism seems ok, because the manual feed slot accepts paper and pulls it in, but then goes no further, ie to actually start printing.
    The calibration process seems ok, and all the 4 color cartridges seem ok, and the spindles on them obviously turn having marked them to see if any were stuck.
    As there is no error code in the log file, I cannot see what is wrong.
    Does anybody have any idea what is wrong? Are there and tools that can be used to interrogate the printer further?

    Wait a minute! It's only certain Indesign documents that won't print.
    All TextEdit docs will print.
    I created a few scribbles in Photoshop and they print.
    But with InDesign, there is no predicting which documents will print or will not print. On some that will not print, if I remove all but one text box, then they will print. On other documents that do print, if I copy some text off of one that won't print and paste it in, then that one stops printing too.
    On some that won't print, if I erase everything on the page and create a new text box and type a few words into it, the page will print. If I revert to the previously saved version, once again the page won't print.
    What kind of craziness is this, anyway? It seems random. I can't figure it out.
    Even on the documents that won't print, when I try to print them the printer's activity light blinks as though it is just about to print, but then the light goes out without printing.
    Anybody got any ideas what this problem is and how to fix it?
    All I know is that EVERYTHING printed before I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9.

  • Tips for printing photos with HP ePrint

    Hello, 
    I will be giving you guys a couple of tips on how to print photos with HP ePrint. These are general tips to make it a little more easier to use HP ePrint.
      #1: Have 4" x 6" photo paper preloaded in your printer
    The first step in getting quality photo prints with HP ePrint is having 4" x 6" HP Photo Paper preloaded in your printer’s dedicated photo paper tray. If your HP ePrint-enabled printer doesn’t have a separate photo paper tray, just make sure that photo paper is the only paper loaded in the tray when printing photos.
    All photos e-mailed with HP ePrint will print at a default size of 4" x 6".
    If available, your photos will automatically print on paper from your printer’s dedicated photo paper tray.
    If you don’t have photo paper loaded into your photo paper tray, this message will appear on the printer’s display: “Load paper into photo tray”.
    If you have 5" x 7" paper loaded into the tray, it will still print a 4" x 6" photo on the paper, leaving a white border along the top and the side.
    HP ePrint will ensure your image is printed with the correct orientation so your photo won’t be cut off.
    #2: Make sure your photos have a high enough dpi
    Check your image’s dpi: Right-click on your image on your PC’s desktop, then selectProperties, and the Details tab.
    The second thing to remember when printing photos with HP ePrint is to make sure your digital images have a high enough resolution, or dpi (dots per inch).
    Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc.) need to be at least 100 dpi in order to print via HP ePrint.
    If you send a photo that is less than 100 dpi, it will not be printed. Instead, you will see a message in your job history on the ePrintCenter that says “Failed”.
    To print a photo or image that is less than 100 dpi, insert the image file into a Word document before e-mailing. Your image will be printed on paper from the main printer paper tray.
    Image attachments must be less than 5MB (megabytes). Also, HP ePrint supports a maximum of 10 attachments to a single e-mail. E-mails that exceed these limits will not print.
    Find out how megapixels affect the resolution and quality of your digital photos.
    If you guys have anymore questions let me know.
    Also, remember if you find any of my post helpful or want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.
    I really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

  • Print photos with date stamp on them with a HP 6600

    Does anyone know if the HP6600 printer is capable of printing photos with the date stamp on them?

    Hello @Joseph_TX ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you want to know if a way to configure the HP ePrint.
    I would like to help.
    Unfortunately there is no way to reconfigure the ePrint.
    When you send an email to the printers ePrint address, it will print the body of the email and any attachments.
    It will not print the subject line or who the email is from.
    Also the ePrint feature will not resize pictures sent.
    What you send is what you get.
    You can get more control over ePrint with the ePrint app, but I don't believe that will suit your needs.

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

    When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again.  I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it.   It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from.   I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly.  It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

  • XP pro-64bit issue printing to a color laserjet cp3800dn

    Need help troubleshooting this issue:
    User is unsuccessful in printing to a Color LaserJet cp3800dn directly from an IP address.
    I've tried to install the 64bit version of the driver - that didn't work
    The version of XP is SP3.
    Fortunately the user can print to this printer as a network shared resource. But when I tried to assign printer by IP address--because user wants to configure double-sided printing--i get the message "local downlevel document" failed to print. And I would have to cancel it from the print que.
    I've tried to change the printer configuration to "print directly to printer" but seem to dislike that option because it freezes after selecting that option and try to print.
    I've also tried to restart the computer once after installing HP printer drives and after making modifications to printer preferences, no luck.
    Anyone encountered this issue before and have suggestions?

    Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
    One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
