Windows 8 driver solution for HP Color LaserJet 3550

I have successfully installed on my "windows 8 32bit" Hp color laserjet 3550 printer with a USB cable.
(the guides seemed possible only with win8 64bit)
Follow these steps:
1) in Hp website support driver, select drivers for windows XP
2) download clj3550prnsyswin-us.exe (HP color LaserJet 3550 printing system 2.0 April 15, 2005 86.4 MB)
3) run the setup you unzip the files in c: \ clj3550 printing systems
4) Connect the USB printer
5) in the control panel, printer management, add a new local printer
6) aggingere drivers from disk, select driver in c: \ clj3550 printing systems
7) At this point the printer is created (hp color laserjet 3550), but it does not work, does not print any page
8) in device manager right click and update drivers automatically, he searches for the driver online, update them and concludes the setup
9) now in the control panel, printer management, you will find another printer, hp color laserjet 3550 copy. This one print very well.
I hope it is useful
Best Regards Anubi

Anubi80,
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.

Solved! Windows 7 driver solution for HP Color LaserJet 3550

I had success getting the HP Color LaserJet 3550n (the 3550 family ) printer to install in Win7. That printer was the only thing that did not fire up with Win7. In the Devices and Printers window, I tried troubleshooting, but it was a problem with the DOT4USB drivers. Similarly to others, I was successful by using the following course of action:
1) Went to HP and downloaded the Vista 32-bit drivers for the 3550, unpacking them at C:\HP CLJ3550\ as suggested by the driver file.
2) In Devices & Printers, did <Right-Click> <HP 3550> <Properties> <Hardware tab>
3) I selected the first "Device Function" <DOT4USB> then did <Properties> <Change Settings> <Driver tab> <Uninstall>.
4) I then selected the second and third Function (which were <HP Color LaserJet 3550> and <IEEE 1284.4 compatible printer> and did the the <Properties> ... <Uninstall> for each.
5) I disconnected the USB to the printer, went back to Devices & Printers, and selected <Add a Printer>.
6) I selected <Add a local printer> <Use existing port DOT4_001> <Next> <Have Disk> <C:\HP CLJ3550> <OK> and installed the printer.
7) It would not work unless I "let" Windows make it the Default Printer
8) After it was finished, I did <Right-Click> on my preferred printer and selected <Set as default printer>, and everything worked.
This question was solved.

I want to thank you for the solution. You saved me the expense of having to purchase a new computer. I used the 64 bit 2003 version and it works just fine. The people at HP were not very cooperative at all. When I called, the lady who answered the phone asked if I was from the United States or Canada. When I stated the United States she had a big sigh
of disgust. When I explained my problem that I was having with the 3550 Laser jet and HP not having the Window 7 drivers, and that the printer was non functional, she stated that I should have researched whether or not my printer was compatible with a new operating system before purchasing it. I asked her if HP would have a compatible driver soon as I did not want to have to purchase a new printer. Then she stated that my printer was old (I bought it in 2005) and what did I expect,t as if the printer not working was my fault. I told them about your solution to this problem and if they could help me through the step but she did not cooperate .Even if I had to pay the $39 fee to the tech dept for their assistance it was worth it saving time. HP service in my opinion is very poor and will lean toward a competitors product if I am faced with a choice. Thank you again.

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

Hp color laserjet 3550 no longer works in Tiger 10.4.11

I received a used hp color laserjet 3550 a couple of years ago and it has worked quite well on my powerbook g4 running Tiger 10.4.11 until a couple of weeks ago. Now whenever I try to print, the print queue window shows the file, tries to open the printer connection and then shows "jobs stopped." I tried numerous times clicking on the start jobs button, shutting off the printer, pulling out and then plugging in the usb cable (which always used to cure the problem), and restarting my computer, but I can't get the printer to print.
I tried running my computer using Leopard, and lo and behold, the printer works fine - even better than when I was using Tiger. Seems to be using a driver "hp color laserjet 1.4" in Tiger and "hp color laserjet 2.0" (or maybe 2.0..1) in Leopard. But I need to be able to use it in Tiger because some of the software I use every day is not compatible with Leopard.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this working again? I tried the hp installation disk - doesn't do anything. hp's website says that all the drivers are pre-installed in OSX, so there's nothing to download.
I'd be happy to get driver 1.4 working again, but I'd be even happier if I could get driver 2.0 installed in Tiger.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the suggestion, BDAqua.
I tried Safe Boot, I tried Repair Permissions, restarted and tried resetting the printing system. Nothing worked. One thing, though, is that before the printer setup automatically chose hp color laserjet 1.4, version 1.4.5 briefly flashed in the menu list. I have no idea where it found that, but maybe the problem is that 1.4 is not the correct driver. There is no hp color laserjet 3550 in the list of drivers, and I have searched in vain for hp color laserjet 2.0. on both my Tiger system hd and on my Leopard system hd. But 2.0 has got to be on the Leopard hd because it works when I boot in Leopard. This mystery is getting very frustrating. But there has to be a way to fix it because it used to work.

HP Color LaserJet 3550 offline

Our HP Color Laserjet 3550 printer has gone offline today. The first PC to have the issue was a windows 7 ultimate x64 machine, then various XP pro x86 machines and finally it's now showing offline on our server (Windows 2003 SBS x86). I can't figure out why, we have another printer which is working (not made by HP) but it's not in a convenient location for the group who previously did used the HP one. The cabling is high grade Cat 6 connected to a gigabit router, the print server is a HP Jetdirect en3700. The printer itself is showing as ready. The only thing to have changed since yesterday are the OS updates which were pushed out by MS last night (patch Tuesday). I've tried removing the printer and re-adding it using the stardard printers & fax start menu options but windows flatly refuses stating that the printer cannot be contacted. The weird thing is it was working for a time on the windows XP machines after it had stopped working from the windows 7 PC.
Any idea's? The issue is driving me (and my boss) nuts!!!
Thanks in advance!

Just to add to the experiences...
I've have on several occasions experienced that the en3700 somehow is lost in the network setup as a print server.
This occurs after the en3700 has been turned off, e.g. power disconnected, split-second power failure.
Symtoms are that neither my xp pc nor my vista laptop can print. Both reports an error on printing anything. But... when I try to print from Ubuntu on my laptop, things proceed as before the disconnection.
Current status of my problem solving is that the printer firmware isnt upgraded whereas the en3700 firmware is.
The only solution working currently is reinstalling the printing software which of course is tedious but... it restores the printing ability.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 and Leopard not working!PLEASE HELP!!

Please excuse me if this has been answered, but after being on the phone for 2 hours with HP, and looking through 100 support articles I am at the point of no return when it comes to frustration.
I have an Imac that I bought 6 months ago. Today my very generous brother bought me the new Leopard. I was very excited after I installed it. It was afterall another reason to play and explore. Then I found a bug.... I am a graphic artist and I went to print out a design for a client and it would not print. No matter what I tried my Imac that was printing to my HP COLOR LASERJET 3550, less then 2 hours ago, was no longer printing. Everytime I send something to print, the printer would say "printer connection opening" then it would say "fatal error......" and pause the job again.
PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO!!!! I AM VERY UPSET AND VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!

I just bought my MacBook Pro last week. I have been trying off and on for 3 days to get it to print to my HP Color Laserjet 3550 through apple talk and keep getting a message: The Application Printer Proxy Quit Unexpectedly.
I tried the generic post script printer driver. I no longer got the message but it didn't print either. I am at my wits end.
I was going to upgrade my IMac to Leopard and I sure am glad I read your post. I now will not upgrade because my IMac prints just fine.
So I at least learned something here. Maybe Leopard isn't the best system yet.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 and airport

Hi there
I have three mac laptops all connected to the above printer using the airport extreme. The printer seems to have slowed down dramatically recently -it sometimes takes up to 10 minutes to process and print a simple word document. The HP driver seemed to work pretty well, but can anyone help with why the printer is so slow?
Thanks

HP Color Laserjet 3550 - the "attention" light won't turn off

I've tried everything I can think of for weeks but I can't get the "attention" light on my HP Color Laserjet 3550 to turn off. It originally came on when a page on from the manual input tray got stuck maybe 20% of the way in. It was a real easy fix, I pulled the page out and now the "attention" light won't turn off. So I can use the printer at all. I've had this printer about a year. I purchased it used. I've always had the manual feed tray as the default because I use this printer mostly for envelopes and less than 81/2 x11 printing as I have an old workhorse HP 4+ for all my straight 81/2 x 11 printing. I've rebooted. I've unhooked cables and the router. I've opened up the printer and removed the casing (the plastic apparatus on the door) and replaced it. The router is a 2Wire HomePortal 1800HG. I'm just baffled here I've printed so much with the manual feed tray and I've had allot worse things happen that I've had to fix. Now a simple stick like this and the light just wont' go off.

HI Vern,
Where did you bought the printer? may you bought it from a different region than your current one?
What is the exact cartridge number of both the black and the tri-color ink cartridge, as well as their product number?
I bought the printyer in the US and the cartridges also came from the US, probably no the same state. Cartdridge # 97, black # 96. I don't see a product number. This is the same # that was in the printer before and the same one I always used. As soon as I pull it out the light goes out, and on again as soon as I install it. This is before the printer even cycles through it's "new cartdridge" routine, if you know what I mean.
thanks for the reply

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?
Despaired...

Have you tried downloading and installing the drivers from here?

I just purchased an HP Color LaserJet CP2025 for my computer running Windows 7, 64 bit as an OS. The driver disk does not include that OS and the Driver Support page does not specify which driver to use in order to take full advantage of the automatic two sided color printing capability. Any help out there?
