Color Laserjet Cp1518ni alignment no longer work

I have 2 x Color Laserjet CP1518ni for about three years now. Both printers do not calibrate corretly.

I have problems with the logos of color printing. I now see magneta shadows as a result of misalignment.

-J' have Windows 7, where the HP difficulty tools do not work. So I use the buttons on the printer

-But also trying to calibrate with my laptop with Windows XP on it.

-Installed new firmware, used each menu item I hoped that might have an effect.

-Searched and searched on the internet, I found that nothing works.

-Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?

Hello

Follow the instructions below to restore the default settings, and then test the print quality. Let me know what you find?

    Can I solve the problems of alignment is to have my Color LaserJet CP1518ni?  Red do not line up, I installed the latest updates, etc.  Calibration does not help.  The printer is only a few years old.  What gives?

    Hi threre, I just work on HP CP1518ni a client with this same alignment problem as most of you are describing. I went through some process and I think I found one that works... If all goes well it will work for

    You too.

    Things I tried before hand... also this machine has all the toners brand HP 90 + life on each of them.

    -Calibrate - has not fixed the problem (tried once)

    -reset the NVRAM - did not problem

    -removed and inspected print cartrides (no problem found), re-installed - fixed no problem

    The 'fix '...

    First, go to the HP website and download the firmware, make sure you only select the right operating system

    you are using. (for me it was Windows XP) Also the requirements of course read, I think you have to

    Take a few minutes so just let it do its thing. After that she did try to print something, for me it was NOT fixed.

    Now you want to calibrate the device, maybe 2 or 3 times, on the control panel scroll to the right until

    you see "systemsetup" press ok and scroll to the right again until you see 'print quality' and press ok.

    the first item in this menu is press "calibrate color" ok, now he's going to say 'calibrate now' and press ok one

    last time. It will start the calibration process. Then he did print something new to see how he does.

    for me I had to do the calibration process twice before the quality was normal again.

    Good luck, hope this helps some, I read that some printers still presist even after this process.

  • My HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni cannot print .pdf files

    Dear,

    I have a printing problem with my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni (function USB my iMAC), since I installed the OSX Mavericks.

    Although my printer print word files, cannot print .pdf, even through the software PREVIEW or ACROBAT files.

    It gives the break signal... any solution about that?

    It is very annoying.

    Thanks in advance for your comments or help!

    Hi Kpanag

    I understand that you cannot print the PDF files from the upgrade to Maverick.

    I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I check and repair the authorization to drive on the Mac.
    Go on the hard drive of the Mac, applications, utilities, disk utility, click Mac hardrive left side, click on verify disk permissions, when it is finished click on repair disk permissions.
    (when it's over will show disk repair completed)

    Run the Apple updates also. (the Mac uses probably drivers 10.8)

    Make sure Acrobat is up-to-date.

    If you need more simply make assistance let me know.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - COLORS NOT ALIGNED

    Has anyone solved this ridiculous question, where all the colors are not aligned when printed?  Black text prints perfectly. But when the printing of the images, the colors are not aligned. Question lasts for months and YES I did the following:

    1. Calibrated thousand times
    2. Restored the default printer 1000 x
    3. Lost my money and has spent nearly $200 on OEM all color cartridges 4... lost!
    4. The drivers reinstalled 1000 x
    5. Have the most up-to-date drivers... believe me.
    6. Ran the printing software HP and doctor Scan and it shows me NO QUESTIONS... ridiculous
    7. Checked the Forum from HP Support with no resolution... I'm with you other people with this same issue. HP HELP PLEASE!
    8. Please tell me that it is a HARDWARE PROBLEM! Of course you won't admit it.
    9. Same problem occurs on my PC - Win 7, Macbook... does not matter... it's the printer!
    10. And finally, I posted this plea for HELP!

    Thank you HP.

    What it sounds like, it's a hardware problem. I would like to begin by ensuring that you have the firmware updated. The firmware of the printer, is what determines how the mechanics of the printer will act. If it has expired, it can cause all sorts of problems. If this does not work, try to do a hard reset. I've included a link to the firmware and instructions for a hard reset below. Let me know what happens.

    Firmware:
    http://goo.GL/gCXvr

    To do a hard reset:
    1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
    3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. wait for 30 seconds.
    5. plug in the printer and turn it on.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - color alignment problem

    I'm having a problem with the alignment of different colors with my HP CP1518ni printer. Essentially colors don't print really in the same place, as the impression of Red (Magenta) is never aligned with black / yellow / Blue (Cyan) (so I can have the text in red with a black text shadow 0.5 to 1 mm below or blue with a red shadow of 0.5 to 1 mm at the top for example).

    Troubleshooting always just irritates me to calibrate, but I have many, many times over many months, calibrated and it does not help.

    Does anyone know of other solutions? Or should I buy a new Magenta cartridge and see what happens?

    My cartridges are:

    Magenta - CB543a

    Cyan - CB541a

    Yellow - CB542a

    Black - CB540a

    Make sure that you update to the latest Firmware.   HP recently released a newer version which helped with a more concise calibration with the alignment of color plan.   Many people have reported these problems solved after running the update.

    Update XP (English) can be found here:

  • Color Laserjet CP1518ni: Color RED is misaligned - won't calibrate.

    Red color will not calibrate. Large black prints - the Self Test / Configuration page looks good, but print everything that has red color in it, red is off record. Intalled software on 3 different computers - is not the computer. Updated firmware to date on each installation. Calibration ran a gazillion of times. Power reset. ToolboxFX does not open so there is no help - it is supposed to work under XP. Read the other posts that deal with the same problem, tried what they were doing to solve the problem. Nothing works. Excuse me if I seem shrill, but I am very frustrated. This used to be a great printer. It is now junk occupy space unnecessarily.

    The page contains instructions for both series of printers.  You are looking at the first set of instructions that are not for your printer.  Read the second set of instructions that are for your series.

  • Color Laserjet CP1518ni using Win7 - need access to info level of Ink/toner

    From the Toolbox HP apparently is not supported by Win 7, is it possible to know what is the level of ink (toner in the color laser printer) to any given me?  Is there something in the present or future development plans of HP to cover that gap?

    The contact of my CP1518ni printer e-label reader apparently malfunctioned, and "replace supplies" is very reliable as an indicator of low level.

    Thank you

    Bkaytee

    Is your printer is connected to the network? If this isn't the case, please do so and get its IP address from the printer control panel. Type the IP address in your web browser such as IE.  You can find the info of the ink from there.

    My printer color laserjet (color laserjet pro m252dw) no longer works due to not recognize a black cartridge to third because of a recent update of the firmware. Error given is 'Supply memory error'.

    I already looked to the top of the page of Software Support for this printer, but new and recent firmware update is not released/listed, only the firmware upgrade market is given.

    I'd appreciate advice and instructions on how to return/repair my printer no longer print.

    Can you please advise on which firmware update to install instead to get my printer back in the order of operation?

    Thank you very much

    Geertje

    PS: HP: how VERY boring; next time that I'm in the market for a printer I have will conduct the review of my options

    According to the other thread that I have commented on the user managed to solve the problem of roll back firmware version 20160331 to 20150716 .  Unfortunetly the user did not comment if the old version of firmware is out so that we can share a simlilar solution.  It may be that this person had a copy archived in offline mode or found another source outside the HP support Web site.

    At least you can get an older version of firmware all the steps that we share for the firmware downgrade won't do you no good.  I'd be careful to search a German site for firmware updates.  HP has put regional locks in place according to international contracts, that they do to market their products in a given region.  Using a German firmware on a printer WE made may have strange side effects on what types of cartridges are allowed.

    What is perhaps a better use of your time would be to contact your 3rd party cartridge company and see if they can send you a cartridge that is compatible with the new firmware.  Chances are that they have seen the same problem with other users and already have a chipset to work around the problem.  In this way, you can stay on the newest firmware and continue to use your favorite too cartridges.

  • Color LaserJet CM6040f MFP paper Curl

    Hi all

    I just bought a second hand Color LaserJet CM6040f MFP and it work like a charm. The only thing is he wraps the paper into 5-6 "big waves" on the long side of the paper.

    Is there a way to improve this? Is it something with the drum?

    I tried all the "official advice" with the right paper and the "anti-curl" on the printer setting.

  • Drivers HP LaserJet CP1518ni for WIN7-64

    I have the color Laserjet CP1518ni printer when I had Win Vista-32 and it works beautifully. Recently, I upgraded my OS WIN7-64 and installed the drivers recommended from HP website. I installed the HP Universal PCL6 v5.6.0, but the printer is not recognized as color and prints only in black and white.

    When I restore the old driver 32-bit, I had on vista, it works in color but does not print on the web I get an error message on a competibility of 32 bits.

    Help, please.

    After carefully reviewing the download section for the printer from the HP web site, I found that there is an update of the firmware on this printer and CP1510 version. So I updated the firmware and now it works fine, so far.

    I guess that was the problem.

  • HP Color LaserJet MFP M177 Pro: MFP177 frozen screen energy saver logo

    My new Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw still works, but the front is frozen with the logos of saver hp and energy, which means that there are no features in the control panel. I can therefore use it to manually, make copies, or do something that I would normally with the front panel. I tried everything the hp support asked me to do it (plug it directly into the wall, restart it, hold down the power button for a minute, plug, reconnect everything, etc.) and nothing has solved the problem. It is clearly a hardware problem?

    Hi @eng-ihab,.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that the printer is locked during initialization. I want to help you solve this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    The update of the firmware usually fixes this problem, but I don't see one available for Windows 10. If the printer is installed on an older operating system also, I would say to run the update of the firmware with it.

    Here is the link: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw, select the operating system.

    I would say to remove all toners, turn on the printer and wait for the printer to the State to reinstall toners manually. Just to rule out a toner not sitting correctly, the origin of this problem.

    You can move manually the carousel is not blocked.

    Open the scanner cover and cover less than one so you should see the toners.

    On the left side of the black frame, you will see an oval hole with a piece of white plastic on the inside.

    You will need to use something to press the white plastic piece, at the same time, push the carousel backwards, do not touch the toner however. It must be in good position to get out the toner.

    I've included a picture with the region, where to use the manual function of the printer.

    Make sure that the print queue is also allowed to leave, I saw this also cause the printer go in initialization.

    I can send a private message with some one more step to try.
    In the forum next to your handle name simply click on the envelope to see.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.
