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.

    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

    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)

    -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

    Then, assuming you have the appropriate printer driver installed, double-click the utility you just downloaded and select the CP1518ni from the drop-down list. Now, press the button 'send the firmware '. It will be

    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

  • 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.

  • Satellite 1100-Z6: color RED of the display is missing

    Hello

    I have a 1100-Z6 portable Satellite which doen't show the color RED. For troobleshoot I went to the Intel graphics properties and under the upturned tab color each color gamma and noted the answer.

    The Green and blue to work very well, but nothing happens when I turn the Red up/down using the slider control so as a result, I have a blue/green tint on my screen.

    It is also the same on an external monitor so I suspect its something to do with the graphics card itself.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be very welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    have you tried to uninstall the graphics driver intel and download/install the latest version available? Would be useful to know because if you didn t have already tried it, it could be a software related issue.
    So, just go here: www.intel.com and download the drivers. Perform the reinstallation and say what is happening and if your problem has been resolved.

    Any comments would be appreciated.

  • Pro 9500 nozzle check print only the lower half of the motif on the colors red, green and cyan.

    Pro 9500 impressions of low nozzle printer test only half of the colors red, green and cyan.  The bottom half is normal (no scratches & etc.).  Upper half is completely empty.  Problem started with a single color and progressed to three.  Since the three colors are adjacent tanks, at the far right of the Assembly to the tank, is there possibly something something in common to all three?  What is a control problem?  Cleaning (both normal & deep) and the replacement of the tanks have had negative results.  Head alignment will not work.  "Can't do the printhead alignment."

  • Printing DCP color red problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All - in - One Printer, the 4th copy

    I have a HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in-One Printer and try to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have new HP ink cartridges and print on HP Color Injet paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow Printhead (at least 6 months ago). At the beginning when I cleaned the printheads, I was able to print 2 or 3 pages showing my color RED. Then back to magenta. When I received the images of test after you have cleaned the print heads, they are all perfect, no lines.

    What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Hi TM1997,

    Thanks for the reply!

    Given that the printer seems to work for a bit and then comes back to the same question, it must be a problem with the printhead (Cyan/Magenta one) or the ink lines that go from the cartridges to print heads. First of all, I would suggest that you check the warranty date on your printhead C/M. If it is under warranty contact HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about a replacement, but if not, it's you if you want to replace the print head, printer service, or look into an upgrade.

  • Sir, I have windows 7, after the creation of PDF files the icon was in solid color red and grey, but now the icon changed to adobe acrobat 7 professional, logo, how can I get the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to i

    Mr President

    I have windows 7, after creation of the solid color red & gray icon PDF files, but now the icon has changed to adobe acrobat 7 Professional logo, how do I re obtain the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to identify, also I used acrobat adobe 7 Professional but this problem was not there.

    Hi manojp35249311,

    Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.

    Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.

    Kind regards

  • 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 LaserJet CP1518ni - wireless installation, will now in offline mode after reboot

    I just install my printer wireless via my router and everything was fine - test pages, etc. I rebooted and after reboot, I can't use the printer.  It is "offline." Turn everything off and then does not solve the problem.  The printer is a Laserjet CP1518ni.  It is connected to my router and two computers use wireless. Don't know what to do. Help! Why is it keeps working after the first reboot?

    You can run printing HP and doctor Scan, and it can help with this problem.

    It can also be a firewall or an antivirus which blocks. You can turn it off and try to print.
