Trouble with Laserjet CM1015 by color prints

Hi together,
I have some trouble with my Laserjet CM1015 MFP. When I make color copies or prints, the 3 colors are shifted about 4 or 5 millimeters.
I have tested it with several toner cartridges. Always the same error.
Does anybody know this problem and a solution therefore?
Please do not answer that I should bring my Printer to the HP service. When I would do that, I assume, that it is more expensive then a new printer.
Thanks in advance

That is a non-postscript, USB printer. HP's driver is for USB only, because it bypasses CUPS (called a monolithic driver).
Easiest way to get a CUPS driver is install hpijs + foomatic + ghostscript:

HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer with Apple iPad & iPhones

I have an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer that I've successfully used as an "air print" device to print from both iPhones and iPads. For some unknown reason, I can't print from iPhones and iPads anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Is this a result of Apple most recent iOS upgrades? Everything was working with iOS 6.0.x and seems to have stopped working with iOS 6.1.x.
I "think" I'm try to determine what I need to upgrade (printer firmware or iOS device firmware . . . or both).
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro. Have you tried a full network power cycle?
Unplug the router and printer while on
Power down the iOS device completely. Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_iphone.htm
Wait 30 seconds
Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the iOS device back up
It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.
If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...

HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer M451dn Driver needed

I need to install an HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer. When I plug in the USB - it provides a driver which I can open and get to the install process - The process takes me to the point of plugging in the USB and starts to install.
After 10 minutes and getting to 99% complete the install stops because it is taking to long.
I have searched for the driver on the web site but when I click on the printer name - the HP web site goes into an
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Need help with installing this printer - this printer is only available to me by USB

If you are using non-HP toner cartridges, then I would say that the onus is on the supplier of these to resolve the problem.
Or to accept that these cartridges aren't quite as compatible as they've no doubt been advertised to be.

Getting Darker Blacks from My HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer

Hi. I own an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer and am on a Windows XP system. For regular printing, it works great. However, for some graphic work I am doing, I can not get the blacks to print out dark enough. I can not find any settings on the print properties panel that would allow me to set a darker black coverage. Anyone have any suggestions?

LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 walk up usb printing

We have a few LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 that we use with walk up usb printing.
the problem is that somtimes when a document is saved directly on the usb drive you get two files called "documentname.pdf" and "._documentname.pdf", now the hidden file is normaly a few kb in size and no problem exept it shows up as the first documents on the printer and this makes the printer spew out random characters,
is there a way to make the printer not show hidden files?
(model number: CF082A)

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn won't print

Ricoh Aficio MP C4501 with access codes for color printing

Hi,
I read the discuss called "Ricoh 3245C with access codes for color printing", and I have a similar problem with a Ricoh MPC4501 printer. The printer is connected to many Windows PCs and my brand new iMac. It requires just User Codes authenication. PostScript is not installed on the printer (could this be the problem?). I've tried all the suggestions brought up in the mentioned discussion but I still can't print. It seems like the printer is not connected to the Mac. Here are the answers to the questions asked in the previous discussion:
Is PostScript module installed?
No, I guess. PS is not one of the languages included on the Configuration Page.
What languages does your printer understand?
RPCS [3.10.14], PCL 5c [1.02] and PCL XL [1.02]
What drivers are you using?
I tried the one from the Ricoh site for OS10.8 (http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/ra/model/mpc41/mpc41en.htm) as well as the driver (three downloads) from Linux (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o). Neither worked. It might be helpful to mention that the Linux driver enabled me to print to a Ricoh Aficio MP 4001 that doesn't require authentication.
How are you entering your User Code?
Depending on the application. For Adobe apps, which are my main concern, I would have to click on the Printer button in the Print dialog to open the system Printer dialog, then enter the user code there under Job Log. I had to use the script provided in the previous discussion (http://webpages.charter.net/mbroughtn/beta/RicohUserCodes.zip) to add my User Code.
How are you connecting to the printer -- what protocol?
I'm not sure. I didn't find any of the protocols cited in the previous discussion on the Configuaration Page. If it helps, I know that the printer has an IP address on the network. And as I mentioned, it's mainly connected to many Windows PCs.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can't help with user codes, but I suggest you try IP HP jetdirect first whenever you add an enterprise net printer. You could always look on a windows computer for printer port configjration. There, you will find jetdirect called raw port 9100 protocol.

Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp photo printing problem

I am running a Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp utilizing only HP print cartridges and HP Color Laser Photo Paper, glossy, yet I cannot seem to get a decent photo to print. There is always a black smear or two on the front of the printed page. It prints black and white and color just fine on plain paper but I cannot get a decent print on glossy. This has happened since day one so I don't think it's a dirty print roller,,etc. issue.
Thanks for any ideas!
Michael

Yes I solved the problem. I had to clean the registry of all information regarding this printer. During the installation I noticed interesting thing. The only installation that worked well was from the CD that came with the printer. I've tried downloaded latest version but it didn't install properly and have no idea why.

Laserjet Pro CP1525 color printing question

This is a color printer, but what if I am only printing a document that is just text (black and white). Do I need to so into my printer setting everytime and change it to grayscale just to print or worry that it will use the color to make black?
I always had to worry about this with another brand, the salesguy says this printer automatically does what it's supposed to, but I see no documentation in the manuals to prove that.

Hi @kjatc,
I see that you are getting red horizontal lines when printing in color. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue today.
I would do a hard reset to see if will help.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document with the steps for calibrating and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue. Some of the steps you have already tried, but please try the other steps listed. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Print a Diagnostics Page: Go to Setup, Reports Menu, Diagnostics Page.
Update the printer's firmware. Software and Drivers. Select Go under Option 2.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics Page?
This will help determine if it is just one specific toner, possibly a fuser or hardware issue with the toner. Feel free to include a screen shot of both pages.
If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
Please let me know the results. Thank You.

HP laserjet CM1015 won't print fonts in color

I have some text that is in blue and green but it prints in black instead. I also have clip art on the page and that prints in color with no issues. Why wont the text print in color when the clip art will? That obviously tells me there is no issue with the color cartridges. Thanks

HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer - label print issues

I'm getting great plain paper printing, however, my labels are coming out with sporadic patches of white where there should be color, especially along the edges. Also, the black text is printing light "shadow" text in areas that should be white/unprinted. Can anyone help?

Ricoh 3245C with access codes for color printing

Hello,
We have a Ricoh 3245C and some MacBook Pro users with OS X Snow Leopard. The printer is configured so that a user needs an access code to print in color, but anyone can color in black and white.
When Mac users try to print, the print queue says the job is paused, and the job never prints. It doesn't matter if the document is color or B and W.
Help.
Thanks,
Josh

I find this hard to believe.
Hi Matt, et al. Thanks for the replies.
Just to re-iterate what I wrote above, we are using a Ricoh Pro 906 EX printer, and have attempted authenticated printing on the Mac with PPD's obtained from both the Ricoh website as well as the open source versions you reference. (Not sure what the "job log" reply above was about.) In that effort, we wrote to Richo at solutions(at)ricoh-usa.com to ask about authenticated printing features on the Mac. I will spare the group the entire discussion thread, but here are the relevant exchanges.
'--- My original inquiry - Sept 22, 2010 ---
Hello,
Our office has a Ricoh Pro 906 EX printer and we are having a lot of trouble getting our Apple Mac users setup to print. After downloading your latest Mac/OSX driver software, we still do not see a place to enter User Codes and Passwords for individual users like the Windows driver software has. As a result, no print jobs are sent to the printer.
Basically, what we are trying to do is Authenticated Printing. I note that there are several different places where Ricoh printers ask for "User Code" or "User ID" or etc. One thing I see on our Windows machines is a place to enter Authentication credentials -- THIS IS WHAT WE NEED -- but we can't find the matching dialog box on the Mac. I included a screenshot from a Windows machine we have setup and working. I think we just need to know if the Mac supports Authenticated Printing.
Can you assist?
'--- Final Reply - Sept 23, 2010 ---
Mr. <snip>
To give you some background information, Ricoh devices can be set up with multiple forms of authentication (that is built-in to the machine) such as:
a. User Codes -- You can have up to 500 distinct user codes defined. Instead of someone inputting their User Name & Password they enter in a 4-8 digit number.
b. Basic Authentication -- You can define user names & passwords on the copier. In order to print (or copy if it's set up that way) you would have to put in both the user name and password defined on the copier.
c. Windows (Active Directory) Authentication -- You can input your Windows user name & password. Obviously you have to be a user on the domain in question.
d. LDAP Authentication -- You can input a user name & password and then the copier tries to verify that you are a user against your LDAP server. You must specify the LDAP server to use.
Based on what you explained and your screenshots I would assume that the Ricoh copier is set up with "Basic Authentication".
Without going to a lot of trouble & hassle (I.E. to convince someone to do a driver customization) the MACs do not directly support Basic Authentication. The only type of authentication + tracking solution that works with the MAC PPDs (and is built-in) are User Codes. So instead of everyone having a user name && password they would be assigned a number (4 to 8 digits) that they would input when they need to print or copy. We could look into a customized driver option, but if you are only serving 20 users it would not be cost effective. Have you considered just "upgrading" people to Windows? There may be some other solutions that Ricoh offers that may work well for you. You may want to contact the sales person for the account and they can work with you to see what options would work best.
Thank you,
