Problem to print with HP Color LaserJet CP3525 (PCL 6) on Server

Hi,
I have a printer HP Color LaserJet CP3525 in a server, and I installed with the correct drivers for that but the printing output is strange. I'm trying to print in A4 paper, and everything is just printed in 1/4 of the page. The most strange is that the graphics are scaled to the 1/4 of the page while the text is exactly with the same size than the complete page, but all the letter are overlapping each other.
I also tried to print with a generic configuration and print in all the page but I can't print with color, just the black toner is used, so the quality is really bad.
Please, help me!

This sounds like a driver issue. You mention the printer being PCL6. Can you confirm which driver you are using when the 1/4 page prints occur. My guess is that it would be one of the Gutenprint drivers included with SL and this sort of output can occur when the printer driver is not supported by the printer.
Also, with regards to the Generic, which I assume is the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver included with SL, this by default is set to 300dpi. You can change this print quality setting to 600dpi, which will improve your output, especially the graphics. However this driver only supports black & white printing. So if you want to print in color from the Mac and the printer does not support PostScript, then you should look at installing the pxlmono package.

Note that you will need the pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghostscript packages to use this driver suite.

  • Can't print with HP Color LaserJet dn2605

    I haven't been able to print my HP Color LaserJet from Early 2008 Mac Pro using 10.9.4.  I have attempted to print on the network and USB to no avail.  I have deleted the printer, reset all printers and scanners.  Once I delete or reset the printers, I always have to recycle/rebounce the printer so it can be found.  Once found and I select it by the "Use" drop down, there are two(2) HP Color LaserJet 2605 profiles.  I can select either one and sets-up the printer.  Once I attempt to use the printer, the print job goes to the queue and few minutes later the printer starts initiating and sounds like that a paper is getting ready to move and it stops or quits.  I then receive the yellow light a problem occurs, thats all the farther it goes.  I have the latest printer driver update 19.9..  I also have reloaded the OS 3-4 times.  Here is what I receive the print queue when it fails: "Stopped - Unable to write print data: Broken pipe".

    That's sounding like a printer problem, not software.
    But just in case, try deleting the HP folder from /Library/Printers, then Reset the Printing System and add the printer again.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    If that doesn't work, use a browser and connect to your router, and see if you can identify the printer in "connected devices."
    (a printer that changes IP address whenever there is some change on your local net will give symptoms like that)

  • Unable to print with HP Color LaserJet 2605dn since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I've had nothing but problems printing to my HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.
    I'm having this problem on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I get errors like:
    "unable to write pirnt data broken pipe"
    "unable to send data to printer"
    "printer not connected"
    I've been reading responses to others with similiar issues and I've tried
    deleting and re-adding my printer.
    reseting my printing system
    Installing Guenprint.
    re-adding my pirnter with a generic PCL driver.
    None seem to correct the problem.
    This problem happens both when connected directoy with USB and when connected through the network.
    I have no problem printing with my work (Wondows) laptop.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, a brody.
    Yesterday (before I read your response), I downloaded the latest firmware (20140413.) (What do they say about great minds?)
    I thought the issue may have been resolved.
    I was finally able to print my bank statement on both the iMac and MacBook.
    Today, I'm back to the the same issues.
    Very frustrating, even though I've had the printer for five years, I've printed less than 20,000 pages.
    In my mind, it's pointing more and more towards a hardware issue.

  • Problems Installing WPSM54G with HP Color Laserjet CP2025DN

    I have been trying to install the WPSM54G for use with my new HP Color Laserjet CP2025DN and cannot seem to get that to work.  Although I have followed several pieces of advice in these posts and elsewhere, those do not seem to do the trick in my case.
    > Checking that authentication is set to WPA and not WPA2
    > Firmware/installer update
    > Manual installation
    > http://www.ehow.com/how_5396340_set-vista-vista-windows-linux.html
    Although the printer is not on the compatibility list, neither was my Canon iPixma 4000, which connected just fine.  Any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
    Greg Manko

    Connect WPSM54G to the router with the Ethernet cable. Connect the printer to the WPSM.
    Now press the reset button on the print server for 5 seconds. See if you get any print out. If you get the print out, you will find the IP address of the WPSM. Using that IP address open the setup page of the WPSM and check the wireless settings. The wireless settings of your wireless router should match with the wireless settings of the WPSM.
    If you do not get the print out then run the CD that comes with WPS. When you run the CD it will search for the print server and you will find the IP address of the WPS. Once you get the IP address you can exit the setup program and open the setup page of WPS. Check the wireless settings of the router and WPS.
    Once you finish changing the wireless settings of WPS, you can disconnect WPS from the router and power cycle the WPS. Now try to ping the IP address of WPS when it is wireless. If you get replies then your computer is communicating with the WPS.
    Now you will need to add printer port on your computer.
    You can add the printer port using the CD or you can so it manually.
    Run the CD again and go to the option setup computer. Follow the instruction and at the end try to print the test page see if that works.
    You can add printer port manually also.
    Follow this link to add printer port manually on Windows Vista.
    Follow this link to add printer port on Windows XP.

  • Grayscale Printing with HP Color Laserjet 2600n Using OS 10.6

    Like a lot of people, I've been frustrated with the (lack of) support and functionality with this printer since upgrading to Snow Leopard. But at least it's working.
    I have two questions:
    1. Even with the printer set to Grayscale, all of my pages come out in color. Does anyone have a solution to this?
    2. Has anyone found a good alternative printer to the 2600n that works well with Snow Leopard?
    Thanks everyone

    Hi,
    Firstly please check to see if your printer in the list:

  • Duplex printing with HP Color Laserjet 4650dn

    Dear all,
    I wanted to print the handouts of a Powerpoint presentation (Office for Mac 2008, v12.2.5), but could not get a double-sided copy. The printer (HP CLJ 4650 dn) is installed with the OS X 10.6.4 embedded drivers etc. as HP CLJ 4650. Works fine otherwise.
    The settings for the printer in System Preferences/Print Fax/General indicate that I apparently have a driver version 16.4. By accessing the Printer Webpage I have set the duplex option ON and checked all the other options for there settings. As far as I know it seems correct.
    I have ticked the box Duplex Unit in System Preferences/Print Fax/Driver.
    However, when I want to print the slides/handouts and open the print window I can only see Manual Duplex as an option in the drop-down menu Copies & Pages. No straight forward Duplex Printing or Automatic Duplex Printing option whatsoever of which the printer is capable.
    No problem with the two remaining MS Windows Vista PC's, which frustrates me.
    Have I missed something? Or done something wrong/different?
    If anyone has a suggestion I would be grateful.
    Kind regards,
    John Keasberry

    Have you taken a look to the configuration of the Printer? I have a HP 2340 with duplex and to configure it I have to do the following:
    On the Preferences Pane, click on Printing and Fax or open the Printer configuration Utility. In any case, click on the printer and choose "Configuration of the printer" (in the Printer utility this is in the pritner menu). Then you will see information of the printer... May be there you have an option to activate the duplex... In may case there is a checkbox.
    But may be you have done this...
    Bests,
    Álvaro

  • Print Setup says use Adobe Color Printer with No Color Management even though I have my .icc printer profile selected

    I have a ColorMunki Photo and a Canon Pixma Pro 100 that I have been using on my Mac with Photoshop CC.  No issues.  I must have changed something because now when I go to print, a popup says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management".  It is telling me that my I am trying to print without color management and this method of printing isn't supported.  So, I reprofiled my monitor and printer and have brand new .icc profiles and it is still doing the same thing.  Can someone tell me the exact things that need to be changed in Photoshop in order to use my .icc profile for color managed printing?  I have no idea what I have changed.  If I change to a different profile that message doesn't pop up.  My document profile says that it is the same as the printer profile I am trying to print from.  Does the document profile need to be set to my monitor .icc profile or the printer .icc profile that I want to print from?  Any help would be appreciated!  It is driving me crazy!

  • Problem to print with iPhoto and epson stylus photo RX620

    I asked a question about the print with Iphoto. Larry gave some explainations but it still doesn't work. I can change the reglages with Safari, with Mail but not with Iphoto. So when I try to print photos, the reglage is standard and the result is bad. I would like to change the reglage, if i use glassy photo paper. With my PC, I have no problem to print with window or picassa. Thanks for your answer.

    First I have no idea in the world what "reglage" is
    But what ever printer specific options are available are supplied by the manafacturer's print driver and these are available on the last print window

  • 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.
    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.

  • I have a HP Color LaserJet CM1015 PCL 6

    I have a HP Color LaserJet CM1015 PCL 6 which has been working perfectly up until recently. When it prints now there is a black line down the side of the page

    Further clarification, the printer does show up in Printers in the control panel, but not as an installed program
    in Control panel -> Programs and Features,
    In device manager, and hidden devices checked off, another installed printer is displayed but not the HP 3600.
    This is bizarre as the HP printer worked fine for 3 years. This issue started when I installed another non-HP printer.
    Even a reinstall, (another) of Vista 64 bit Home Premium did not resolve this.

    Hi Arthur, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sometimes you need to habd uninstall hp drivers, but Might try these two...
    Mac OS X: About the Reset Printing System feature ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341?viewlocale=en_US
    Might try Printer Setup Repair 5.1...
    http://www.fixamac.net/software/index.html
    Do this before & after any install...
    Safe Boot. One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
    Reboot.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Printing Acrobat files with HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn

    Often, but not every instance, when I print an Adobe Acrobat file on the HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn Printer the following happens: the text prints as expected but the entire text area (but not the margins) is painted over with an orange red. This happens whether there is a graphic image in addition to text in the documents or when there is text only. With other Acrobat files, the text and/or graphic prints without a problem. I would like to know how to fix this problem.

    It's featured on the forums before. For some reason Acrobat 8 doesn't go well with HP colour laserjet printers. I've suffered the same.
    Two ways round it. Which preset (if any) do you use in Distiller to process the PS file? The red effect only appears when you use certain pre-sets.
    I usually solve the problem by opening the PDF in Acrobat 6, not 8, and then printing from that
