Problems with HP LaserJet 4000 printer

Hello everyone!
Since the last HP Printer Driver Update the LaserJet cannot be found directly via USB on my MacBook Pro and Mac mini nor via my Time Capsule. Before the update everything was working fine. Is there any possibility to replace the newest driver with an older version of it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Firstly it's not an ePrint printer, it's not even on the following list:

Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

Hi friends.
I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
Thank you very much for help!

I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn... Has anyone resolved this issue??

I have a problem with HP laserJet P2055dn...
Since I changed OX to Mavericks, my macpro does not connect to the HP printer (laserJet P2055dn)
Has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved this??

How do you force the printer driver to reinsall?
I delete the printer and re-added, but nothing changes.
All the forums topics concerning driver updates reference the App Store, but I cannot find anything there.
Nor I can download the driver from the vendor website, as it also redirects me to the App Store, where nothing happens.
I am new to Mac, so the question may be a silly one.
Thank you for your help.

Problems with color matching when printing...

Hi, I work for a small family business in the P.O.P. industry. We currently have myself and one other designer, we both take illustrator files that have come from the graphic design firm that we contract with and get them ready to print on our Vutek QS3200. However ever since acquiring the printer we have begun to run into problems with the colors when printing. When the files are exported off of my computer, I use either .tif or .pdf files, they print as they should, the colors seem to match the proof and everything goes smoothly. However when the other designer exports a file, he tends to do mainly pdfs, the colors tend to be extremely different from where we want them. Also we will get very strange results, such as yesterday he kept getting a faint yellow 1/2" border around his prints. After I believe 3+ hours of him trying, I was given the original CD and instructed to try. After 15-20 minutes of making the changes that we needed to make (adding a new price point) and ripping, mine printed perfectly.
We both use Macs, both have CS3 Design standard, only differences between the computers are mine is newer and a bit faster, and I'm running OS 10.5.6 and he has 10.4. He has also at some point loaded various color profiles, whereas my CS package is just whatever the default is when I loaded it. When we were being trained he grabbed the color profile off of the Colorburst RIP server and loaded onto his computer, plus I believe he has a couple for freelancing purposes on there as well. My thought is that these profiles are somehow corrupting the files that are going through that computer, but I honestly am lost with it at the moment. He believes the problem lies within the fact that he does not have the newer OS, I honestly cannot see that as having any effect on this at all. I was wondering if anyone has run into any similar problems, or if anyone might have any advice on this issue? I would really like to be able to solve this, as I was hired to do mainly structural design for the P.O.P. and I'm having to put in a lot of overtime to get my work done along with the additional work that I'm having to do.
Thanks for your time

I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers. First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem. I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ). I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem. But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application. My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ). Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely. If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption. This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings. Start there. You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already. Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger. It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles. At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines. If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert. Hope this helps.

Unable to find appropriate driver for my mcbook air using a ricoh aficio mp36501SP network printer. had similar problem with another ricoh copier/printer, but was able to resolve that problem entering ip address. this one wants job code

unable to find appropriate driver for my mcbook air using a ricoh aficio mp36501SP network printer. had similar problem with another ricoh copier/printer, but was able to resolve that problem entering ip address. this one wants job code. i don't believe mac allows for input on job code or printer code for permission to print

I'm having similar problems with an HP OfficeJet 6500. One suggestion that improved the situation, but did not totally solve the problem, was to select "OfficeJet Pro L7700" for its drivers.
One other suggestion is to turn off the printer, then simultaneously hold down the "#" and "9" keys and turn the printer back on. This hot key seems to reset the printer to factory defaults, allowing you to set things up anew.
Finally, kvetch to HP. Their networking software clearly has problems in its relationship to OSX, but nobody on either side seems motivated to bring in a good therapist.

I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"......

I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"...... I then decided to try and reload the Canon printer drivers and for some silly reason I deleted the existing Canon printer drive. Now I cannot load them from the CD provided with the printer or from downloads through the Apple store. If anyone out there could help me I would be greatly appreciated......

These Canon printer/scanner drivers from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899 - should work. The MP250 is listed on the support page. Try downloading and installing them.
Good luck,

Last update for OS 10.8.2 caused big problems with HP photosmart B110 printer /scanner cannot scan does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

Last update for OS 10.8.2 caused big problems with HP photosmart B110 printer /scanner cannot scan does anyone have the same problem or a solution?
iMac is connected via wirelss to printer/scanner. All was working OK until update.

Assuming that the HP software is up-to-date, but still not working, have you tried Image Capture in the Applications folder. Does that work?

Printing problem with HP Laserjet 2550

I have an HP Laserjet 2550 which is having problems with my Macbook Pro with 10.6.3
Snow Leopard has the drivers for the HP 2550. So when I added the printer it picked up the drivers.
The problem I am having is that it send the job to the printer but the printer does not print it. When I restart the printer on startup it prints the job. I have to do this every time.
Is the problem with the Mac or the printer?

Have you run Software Update to check that you have the latest HP drivers? They have done a couple of revisions since SL was released. Of course, if you are still running 10.6.3 SU will come up with many other updates some of which might be relevant to the problem.
You might also do some maintenance - repair permissions, etc. This could make a difference. There are lots of other steps that might be taken but try these first.

Printing issues with HP LaserJet 4000 via ethernet

I'm trying to connect my iMac with OS X 10.6.8 to an HP LaserJet 4000 using an ethernet cable. My understanding is that Snow Leopard does not support AppleTalk so I was trying to set it up using the IP protocol via HP Jetdirect using the printer IP address. When I try this it gives me a message "Determining Installable Options..." for a couple of minutes and then fails to configure.
My HP JetDirect Configuration Page reads:
Host Name: Not specified
Config by: RARP/BOOTP
IP ADDRESS: 192.0.0.192
SUBNET MASK: Not specified
My iMac's local IP address is: 10.0.1.83.
Your help is appreciated!

I found the answer in another post:
1.
In ‘System Preferences’ in ‘Network’, I made sure that ‘Ethernet’ is set to the following:
‘Configure IPv4: Using DHCP’
Two numbers are given:
‘IP Address’ and ‘Subnet Mask’
(you might need to click ‘Renew DHCP Lease’ by clicking ‘Advanced’ and under ‘TCP/IP’ clicking ‘Renew DHCP Lease’)
WRITE BOTH OF THESE DOWN!
2.
Go to ‘Applications’ folder and click on ‘Utilities’ and open ‘Network Utility’. Click on the ‘Info’ tab and from the drop-down menu select ‘Ethernet’.
The ‘IP Address’ should be the same as that given in the ‘Network’ settings panel for the Ethernet port.
3.
On my HP LaserJet 4050N I went through the following menus:
Click the green ‘GO’ button until the display reads ‘Offline’
Click ‘MENU’ 7 times or until ‘EIO 2 JETDIRECT MENU’ shows
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG NETWORKJ=NO *’ is displayed
Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
Press ‘SELECT’
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘CFG TCP/IP=NO*’ is displayed
Press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘YES’
Press ‘SELECT’
Press ‘ITEM’ button until ‘BOOTP=NO’ is displayed (or press ‘VALUE’ button until value reads ‘NO’ and then press ‘SELECT’)
Press ‘ITEM’ button until
‘IP BYTE 1=XXX’ is displayed and where I have put ‘XXX’ using the ‘VALUE’ button enter the first number of the ‘IP’ address given in ‘Network Utility’.
Repeat this procedure for ‘BYTE 2, 3 AND 4’ by using entering a value each time using the ‘VALUE’ button and then pressing ‘SELECT’ before finally moving onto the next ‘IP BYTE’ value using the ‘ITEM’ button.
After all of the ‘IP’ values have been entered pressing the ‘ITEM’ button will display ‘SM BYTE 1=XXX’ – this is the ‘Subnet Mask’ value. Follow the same process as for the ‘IP’ address and enter the values given in the ‘Ethernet’ pane in ‘Network’ under ‘System Preferences’.
After entering the final ‘Subnet Mask (SM)’ value (BYTE 4) press ‘SELECT’ and finally press the green ‘GO’ button.
As soon as the green ‘GO’ button has been pressed the ‘IP’ value in both ‘Network’ (under ‘System Preferences’) and ‘Network Utility’ (Applications/Utilities) will change to display a new ‘IP’ address. The ‘Subnet Mask’ value displayed in ‘Network’ (under ‘System Preference’s should display the same ‘Subnet Mask’ value).
4.
Now close ‘Network Utility’.
Click on the ‘SHOW ALL’ tab in the open ‘NETWORK’ window.
Click on ‘Print & Fax’ in ‘System Preferences’.
Click on the ‘+’ tab on the left of the ‘Printers’ Pane.
Click on the ‘IP’ tab.
From the drop down menu ‘Select HP Jetdirect – Socket.’
Now in the Address field enter the ‘IP’ values that you entered in the printer (and that you wrote down earlier).
Once entered click ‘Add’.

Printing problems with HP LaserJet 6MP

Does anyone know if there is a way for my old HP Laserjet 6MP printer to work with my new IMac? It has a 8 pin serial connector and HP no longer offers support for this older printer. They have suggested I buy a HP JetDirect 500x J3265A but those are over $300. Surely there must be a less expensive solution. HP also suggested checking out Strydent Software but I couldn't find anything that seemed applicable.
I have a Keyspan USB to serial adapter and everything is hooked up. I found my printer on the IMac list but when I try to print it says "Unable to connect to IPP host: Unknown error 0" So I must be doing something wrong......

Asante used to make a Mac serial to Ethernet device,
AsanteTalk. If they're still available that may be
an alternative. They used to sell for $99.00. I
used one with an HP-4MP printer (which my daughter
and son-in-law are still using.)
I think you may try what you are doing but do not use
IPP printing because you have the printer connected
to a USB port not an Ethernet port.
Thanks for the info.
Another question.... if I hook the printer up through the Ethernet port can I still run DSL through it?
Also the printer browser forces me to choose either IPP, LPD or HP Jet Direct-Socket.

Problems with hp laserjet 4ml on solaris 7

Hi out there,
I`ve got a problem with a hp laserjet 4 ml on "solaris 7" (AXUS ultrasparc WSU1D/200):
After I had installed the driver with the hp jetadmin-tool, it`s only
possible to print as a root-user, as a normal user nothing happened, the printjob never reached the printer, but with the
lpq-command I can see it in the printqueue. With "solaris 2.6" it worked fine. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Check out the permissions for printer related directories and files.

Problem with HP LaserJet 4L and Leopard

4L will not print with Leopard except under following circumstances:
If I unplug the 4L, then replug and reset via Print & Fax preference,
then, it will print 1 page and stop. Will not print any more until I go through the unplug,replug,reset procedure. Then, I get 1 more page. Etc,etc. The unprinted pages appear in the printer queue. I have used this 4L happily going back through many Mac's to the old Duo. Any ideas?

I am having a problem with my HP Laserjet 6L. I use PowerPrint's Serial to USB cable. The computer recognizes the driver, but prints garbage. Does anyone know how to fix this?
With Tiger I used to have the problem where after each print job I would have to unplug the USB cable and plug it into the other USB port. This might be a work around for the other respondants.
