HP Color LaserJet 2605dn: 2605 HP prints in black

After changing a blue and yellow cartridge, printer flashing but not print and not of documents in the print queue. NVRAM and Super NVRAM but still wouldn't print.  Configuration of network in the menu report (I'm not on a network, just a USB port on my computer) and supplies Status Page printed fine.  Tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling anything does not. After trying to reports menu print a text page simple and solid black on 90% of the page was printed, no text.  After a few minutes, printer would print a blank page with only the following on this subject: GET /DevMgmt/DiscoveryTree.xml HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:8080.

I looked at the pdf page to reset but return of my printer does not match the pdf page and I could not find any hole or test switch.

It was working fine!  Until I changed two cartridges and the black cartridge is still 3/4 full.  I read on other posts on scanners goes wrong, but this seems very strange to happen suddenly after just changing the cartridge.  Can anyone suggest something before you buy a new printer.  Thank you.

Update on the problem - the cause is not identified and I can assume only it had something to do with the Windows operating system rather than a fatal accident of mechanics in the printer.

I was out of town for a week, the printer was not hooked; and I bought another printer HP in the meantime to be able to print (LaserJet Pro 400 which I am extremely satisfied).  HP support person called me on my cell phone while I was traveling and I asked that he call me when I'll be back and he said it would be and gave me a date and a time so I'd be available.  In anticipation of his call, when I got home, I connected the printer to my Win 7 Home laptop (64 bit) to test and it printed without fail!  No sign of the original problem.

So what - the?  Some driver in Windows suddenly Act?  Who knows.  But the printer print documents and photos with no sign of problem.  So maybe a solution to some printer problems is unplug the printer, don't use it for a few days, plug it again and see if the problem recurrs.

In the meantime, I am so happy with the b & w LaserJet Pro 400 that it became my main printer and I'm reserving the color HP 2605 for instances when I need color.

Consider my problem solved unless I am writing again she reappears!

However the black cartridge has more than 2,000 pages of ink in the printer and it won't let me prink only black and white.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

    I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn. It worked very well with the Microsoft Vista operating system. I just bought a computer with operating system Windows 8 home and now my printer won't do the double sided printed (not the manual double-sided, but printing double-sided on its own). Is there a driver out there who can help with this? Your Web site was an option for Windows 8 when looking for drivers.

    The default value is the duplexer is set to "not installed".  Go to the devices folder and printers, right click on the 2605, select printer properties, the device settings and set theduplex "installed" unit, apply.

    The colour toners are 100%, black is at 28%.

    rk_russelking: your suggestions have been COMPLETELY & TOTALLY USELESS.

    I found the answer here:

    ... «in the printer properties, select the tab settings of the device, scroll to the very last item at the bottom, which is 'Device Type'.» The value displayed (which of course got auto-installé as a default value, for both PCL6 drivers), is "AUTO-DETECT". You would think that would work, but it apparently does not.

    In any case, by selecting the drop-down arrow, it turns out that there are three available values: AUTO-DETECT, COLOR and MONOCHROME.

    Of course she then had me select COLOR, click APPLY and then click OK. I repeated the process for the other printer PCL6. »

    Hi, I have a Canon iX6850 printer, but I can't print in color from photoshop. The prints are black and white? What should I do?

    Hi Vera,

    Thanks for the update.

    Make sure that the image is set to RGB in Photoshop.

    In addition, we suggest you follow the steps below:

    1. exit and then restart Photoshop

    2. go in the file menu > hover your mouse over Print > press and hold the space key

    3 try printing

    This would reset the printing preferences for Photoshop.

    Kind regards

  • HP Color Laserjet 2605dn: Print is washed out/completely wilted on printer 2605dn

    We have a Laserjet 2605dn HP color printer has intermittent printing problems. Most of the time, the quality of the printed output is very well, but from time to time, the print quality deteriorates completely. After a while, printing then returned back its normal quality.

    The printer is on a network and serves as WIndows XP/7/8/10 and Linux machines as it has throughout his life. He has never had a genuine HP toner cartridges installed. It is not heavily used, we print usually less than 100 pages per week, often less.

    The problem is that out of all the colors and black, gets so bad as to be unreadable. The printed output is so washed out it's (almost) impossible to read anything through the entire page. This can happen for all the pages of an entire document, but often it will print the first part of a multipage fine print job and then the quality deteriorates gradually to illegibility. Subsequent print jobs will also sometimes unreadable, but are also likely to print correctly. There seems to be trigger (that we can determine) this behavior or when it will happen well.

    While the printer was used for a few years, he printed out a little more than 20 000 pages in total. This leads me to think that age should not be a problem. We replaced all the cartridges, tried recalibration, print cleaning pages, all without success. I found a solution for a problem of fading Magenta also requires cleaning the mirrors, but our problem is not that same as - everything fades to nothing in our printer, it is not a case of a single color fade a little, is much more radical than that.

    Suggestions as to how we could solve this problem? Is there additional information that might help diagnose the cause and suggest a fix?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    It looks like I won't get my hands dirty inside this printer after all. The boss decided it would probably be too annoying overall for me (US) to try to fix it. So he decided to buy a new color printer and remove it.

    Thanks for the answers to my questions.

    Now I just need to find how to mark it as "resolved", or otherwise close it, as appropriate in this forum.

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn: changing the toner cartridge guaranteed?

    Can someone help me to replace what seems to be a faulty cartridge? I could find absolutely no information on how to do it on HP's Support website to the regular address.

    Q6003A magenta toner cartridge prints very light. Looks pink instead of magenta. This is true even on the 'Page State supplies", which shows the level of toner to 74%: Pages printed with this power supply: 418; Rest of approximate Pages: 1189. I have 'shaken gently"the magenta cartridge without result, and I see no flaws on the drum. 'Cleaning' running mode did not help; He only printed black. The other three cartridges all show them a solid color, so I deduce that there is a problem with the magenta cartridge itself.

    See below. The title and the area around it are supposed to be "Purple"; There should be a (not complete magenta) rose "2605dn" to the right of the printer "HP Color LaserJet.

    Any suggestions as to how to get this replaced would be greatly appreciated.

    You do not have a faulty cartridge, you have a dusty mirror in scanner Assembly laser.

    You will find the instructions on how to disassemble the printer and clean the mirror through various sources online and probably even in the forums.

    The index that identifies your problem is melted magenta from left to right.

    If you decide to take the machine apart and clean the flat mirror handle cables very gently then reconnect the very carefully.

  • HP Color LaserJet M553: M553 - cannot print two-sided

    Hello

    We have a new HP Color Laserjet M553 (B5L24A) which is not allowing us to automatic duplex.  He is currently runinng via a Windows 2008 R2 server and is network connected via IP static on the Ethernet cable.

    I tried several steps of troubleshooting so far:

    -Several including UPD PS 6.0 5.8 PS, PS 5.5, PCL5 printer driver

    -Several print on print server objects

    -Confirmed the 'device settings tab' has the duplexer enabled on the local print server and print objects

    -Updated firmware for the last datecode 20150731

    -Tested printing from several applications, word, outlook, pdf, internet Explorer, textfile, etc...

    -The same problem happening to all connected users

    The printer accepts orders for manual, automatic duplex printing simply cannot.  No error messages didn't report on Panel print, printer, client or server.  Trying to get your hands on a 2nd M553 so that I can confirm a double problem or not.

    Feels like a problem with the firmware where he does not understand the command duplexing automatic normal or did not recognize the duplexer is installed.

    Any ideas?

    Your model is not the two-sided model.  The duplex model is B5L25A and will say about this M553dn not M553n who is your model.
