DeskJet 5150

DeskJet 5150 only print b & w on osx 10.9.1 pls help me

Hello

The HP Deskjet 5100 series is not supported on the Mavericks, due to the standard use of PCL driver it print only in black & white:

3rd party drvers try like HPIJS, which list the compatible printer.

Don't forget to install one of the 3 required downloads before following the Set Up Instructions to printer:

Hope that can run,

  • HP Deskjet 5150 driver Windows 7

    I have the HP Deskjet 5150 printer. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit and I noticed that even if I didn't install the driver included with the CD for the printer (which I doubt would work on Windows 7 in any case), it seems that Windows 7 is already installed a driver for me. However, it feels extremely slowly for the pages of color/gray scale, it takes about 5 + minutes to print a single page. If it is a black and white text document, then it is fine.

    Is there any solution for this? Does anyone else have this problem? HP will produce a Windows 7 driver?

    The symptom you describe can be caused by a failed color cartridge.  Try to remove the color cartridge and printing of the page.  The printer automatically goes offline backup to print.  If it prints at a normal speed (in grayscale... of course) your color cartridge is the question.  Clean the contacts as shown here can solve the problem, if not you will need to replace the cartridge.

    It's one that comes with Windows 7 provided by HP HP did produce a Windows 7 driver.  According to this page there are no drivers provided through HP.COM.

  • DeskJet 5150 driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)

    How can I get a Deskjet 5150 driver for Windows 7 (64 bit)? I have recently added a new laptop with Windows 7 on a small home network (using working groups) and want to be able to use the existing printer 5150.

    Thank you

    Stephen

    You can add the printer as follows: go to the folder, devices and printers, adding a printer, add a local printer, create a new Port, the Local Port, the \\XPcomputername\DJ5150sharename (use the sharing of correct XP computer and Deskjet 5150 share names), then Windows Update, and then select the HP Deskjet 5150.

  • Does not print WPSM54G and Vista for HP Deskjet 5150

    At the risk of opening an old discussion, I couldn't find the answer in the archives here, but most son end in early 2008 so I guess that the problem has been resolved.  I have a Dell Studio 1737 with Vista (32 bit), using a print server WPSM54G with a WRT54GS router. It will not print to a HP Deskjet 5150.  It allows to print if I connect to the USB port directly to my laptop, so it should not be the driver.

    My two posts of print job to the printer via the print server - they are XP based.  Both work wireless is connected.  It is unlikely that it is the router or the print server.

    When you install the software on the laptop using the Linksys CD it gives a long message "Did not find the printer driver on your system" and so on.  I tried all suggestions for example by using the original CD, downloading the driver from the site HP, removing all the drivers, and restarting.  He continues to stop at this message.

    I tried the lines of support tech for more than 6 hours now and have had no luck, they just put me in remote mode and check the router and then print server settings promising recalled.  They have on occasion but no help.  Also charged me $ 39 because they needed to check the IP address of the router that is no longer under warranty.  I'm happy to pay money if this would solve the problem, but it didn't.  Is there a solution out there like a firmware update or installation CD update or something to make the installation work with Vista?

    Thank you for your patience.

    Well I got it working.  Perservance is paying off.  I discovered the page Web for updates and drivers for linksys appears differently on my laptop, it does on my desk.  In particular, the laptop didn't poster not the option update firmware and download the installation software.  On my desktop, I noticed that she had these options.  When I checked the release notes for the firmware version 1017, he says that it adds the LPR Protocol among others.  I remember in your instructions, he said to put to LPR.  I downloaded the new firmware for the print server and now the portable print very well.

    Strange symptom if and misleading when he says the driver is not compatible, but it was a firmware issue.  In the meantime my installation CD not working anymore, but at least now I know I can download it from the Web site on my desktop.

    No idea why it will not display the firmware upgrade option on my laptop?  I put all the advanced settings of the internet even under my desk.

    Thanks again for your help.  Hopefully my discovery on the firmware to help someone else.

  • Problem printing with HP Deskjet 5150

    Hello, I have a problem with my HP Deskjet 5150 color inkjet printer. A few months ago, I noticed that all the documents I want to print are printed with the left margin of the page wider than the right margin; Instead, both margins have the same width. This question concerns the documents in general, and not of documents printed with a specific software only.
    All computers that use the printer have Windows 7 as operating system. I tried to install the drivers of online support for the transition from Windows Vista to Windows 7, but the problem remains.

    What can I do?

    Thank you.

    Hi andrewshort94,

    Thank you very much!

    With this, it is certainly a problem with the hardware of the printer, and because all computers are Windows 7, there is no HP software to try other things.

    You need a Windows XP computer to install this printer to be able to access the HP Toolbox to perform alignment and things of this nature, as it was the last operating system supported the full features software. If you do not have access to a Windows XP computer, I might suggest that you start looking in getting another printer. You can call the HP Technical Support and inquire about trade and commerce program to see what kind of offers they have for you

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • HP deskjet 5150 - failure sudden print under Windows 7

    I've been running a printer HP Deskjet 5150 with Windows 7 for two years now without a problem (and for several years before in XP). Suddenly, it ceased to print from my desktop computer but continues to work away happily from my laptop (which is still running on XP).  When I select a file to print from office model, the printer comes to life (lights flashing etc.) but nothing is displayed. On the Control Panel, it says that it is there no ducuments in the queue.  I reloaded the driver etc. and used installation HP doctor, but all without result: none can detect defects.  But in trying different routes of troubleshooting, I find that the "Print test Page" function works as long as necessary the office, then it seems that nothing wrong with the printer functionally.   (But "print test page" in the installation of doctor HP is not working!)

    I saw only two error messages: once I got an error message that read something like "this program has encountered an error and is unable to act" and a second, some time later, said "cannot print scripts on this page.  They lead me to suspect that the problem lies somewhere with the Windows software.  The firewall in use is BitDefender, but disable this does not solve the problem.  Can anyone help?

    Sand Piper, to start sounds like it is a driver problem. I want to start to be sure that deleting the software and relocation happened in the best way possible. I want you to follow my steps, I can be sure that we start both on the same page.

  • HP deskjet 5150 does only print one line at a time

    My deskjet 5150 worked very well until another paper went through and stuck.  I was able to pull the tail of the outside before he completely crossed, thus eliminating the document.  After that, the printer went from normal to print to print one line at a time, with long breaks between the two, such that a journal would take several minutes to print.

    It happened before, and it seems that one of the many random things that I try finally works (striking out the cartridges, etc.), or he decides to forms and works correctly at some point anyway.  I don't know what is the actual active ingredient.  However, it has recovered from such behaviour several times before.

    I should mention that this malfunction/recovery routine began and most recently occurred when connected to my old iBook G4 Mac computer.  I have just this week has changed to a MacBook Pro, the latest operating system running, and the printer is not different.  It prints one line at a time.

    I don't know when this has happened to the other HP printers that I had in the past, I just put away, not realizing that they still had plenty of life in them left.  This one, I have "revived" several times already.  But how, I'm not sure!

    You have any ideas?

    Hi there chitownchic,

    I suggest paper paper jam for the troubleshooting steps that are recommended for the jamming problem you had. Generally a very good cleaning of the rollers will help a little, and also a power reset.

  • Deskjet 5150 power problem

    My HP Deskjet 5150 will print my page but then stop feeding paper after printing and printing is flashing.  If I press the light of print, page continues to feed.  I do with each page.

    Try connecting the printer directly to a wall. Let me know what happens with that. Here's something I've written about why it's important.

    http://goo.GL/KEAFX

    Other that that, it looks like a hardware problem. I'm not sure a question like this that there is an easy solution for it.

    Let me know!

  • Installed hp deskjet 5150 printer running on new dell hp deskjet 5100 shows and as the installed printer

    HP deskjet 5150 printer

    Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit

    Info computer printer shows NO 5150 hp deskjet 5100 installed,

    No change - computer was new

    I installed my printer hp deskjet 5150, following the signs to a new Dell computer.

    Windows 7 automatically installed the driver from the usb cord was plugged to the computer (it was connected first to the printer).

    Tested the printer by typing a few lines in a Word document, and the printed page.

    However, I noticed that the Dell info on printer shows printer installed is hp deskjet 5100, 5150 not.

    Also, I don't get the screen indicating the ink remaining in the cartridge when I print a page.

    I get a message when the cartridge is low or it prints everything, just not when the cartridge is empty:

    Is the print driver for the hp deskjet printer 5100 the same as for the deskjet 5150 printer?

    I don't want to buy another printer because of the expense.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ouaenre

    The driver is the driver for Deskjet 5100 series which includes the Deskjet 5150.  If you wish you can change the name - go to start devices and printers, click with the right button on the properties of printer deskjet 5100, and then type a new name in the text box, OK.

    There is not a Toolbox in the Windows 7 drivers, the paper here is workarounds.

    Hi ANM

    If you press and hold the power button then press the button 3 times and release the power button will print a calibration page. I hope this will solve your problem. If you need clean the cartridges, you can do a similar operation: press and hold the power button, press the button cancel, press the button 1 time 2 times and then release the power button.

    How to add a printer in Windows 7...

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/install-a-printer

    When you get to the part where you have the possibility to search on Windows update, take it.

    The 5150 will install and it did for me since 2003.

    If your computers are running all Vista or Windows 7 or 8, set up a group home on the computer that hosts the printer, preferably one that will always be connected and look for a network printer on all of them except the host that should already work.

  • HP deskjet 5150: printer continues to print a test page

    Just installed new black ink cartridge and now the printer prints a test page every time that the printer is turned on and after each print session.

    Hello @dglas_1,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand that your printer can print a test page.

    I would like to help.

    Since the problem occurred after you installed new black ink cartridge, I suggest the following.

    Stall and reinstalling the cartridge

    1. Switch on and open the cover or top cover.

    2. Remove the cartridges.

    3. Reinsert the cartridges.

    4. Close the housing cover or top cover.

    5. Voltage of the unit by turning off the printer for a few seconds.

    6. Turn on the printer.

  • Fujitsu laptop computer: HP Deskjet 5150 is not compatible with Windows 10

    Before I update, I need to know that my printer will be compatible.

    Anyone know?

    As soon as the final version of Windows 10 is released, see the HP web site for your printer for supported drivers. But everyone knows that you should never move to a new version of Windows until at least 6 months after the definitive introduction.
