HP Color Laserjet 3550 Printer not print true colors

I have a hp g72 laptop I received last year. It's a little.  I have a printer hp color laserjet 3550 which is about 5 or 6 years.  I think that I have just updated the drivers to accept 64 bit (not sure). However. My impression went crazy.  It does not print true colors.  I have three new cartridges and waiting for the fourth one to tell me it needs to be charged.  I don't know how to calibrate, but I can't seem to find a way to make the colors print correctly.  Thank you.

Hello AnnetteShort,

I suggest you get the latest drivers for your HP Laserjet 3550 from the following HP location:
http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=411173&TaskID=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=411171&lang=en&cc=us

Be sure to enter the proper operating system and whether 32-bit or 64 - bit.
You don't specify your operating system so I can't take you to the correct driver.

There is not a driver listed for Windows 7, so if you have Windows 7 then download driver Windows Vista and right click to install in compatibility mode.

If this does not help, I suggest you post in the forums of HP support for your Laserjet Printer.

    My HP Color Laserjet 2550n will not print in color?

    I spent half a day Googling this issue and could not find any solution?

    When I press the go and cancel the 3 test pages print fine in color set button.

    But if I try to print anything from my laptop, it's all B & W.

    I already installed the latest version of PCL5, PCL6 and PS drivers from today:

    I think that is the question:

    But, how to fix this?

    My OS is Win 8.1Pro x 64 with all updates installed.

    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 Brenda6,

    When you reinstall the printer helps reinstall you by plugging the USB of the computer? Or are you downloading from the HP site?

    Make a right click my computer and select Properties - locate Service Pack 3 in this form... If Service Pack 3 is not the operating system MUST be updated first:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04475955

    You can download the HP Universal Print Driver below:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL39348/LJ-95977-14/UPD-PCL6-x32-6.2.1.20636.exe

    As Windows Embedded edition is an edition of the customized version no official support is guaranteed.

    It is a customized operating system version includes only the components of the operating system selected for specific needs.

    Those selected by the OEM computer and not necessarily include any component required by the HP software or hardware.

    Try to install the printer and see if this can work, however it can work as explained and may not only the manufacturer of the computer can respond if such material can be installed on the operating system or not...

  • The laser color HP LaserJet CP1025nw printer cannot print - points held in the queue

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my laser color HP LaserJet CP1025nw printer fails to print jobs in the queue. I turned off the printer accidentally as he was preparing to print a document, and since then I am unable to get the printer to work. I used the HP print and Scan doctor and he said that he had detected and solved a problem with the queue in vain the printer print a test page. What other options do I have? Thank you.

    Rrolley, looks like you have a problem with the print queue of the printer. To start, just to tell you (that you probably think) it is not good to switch off while he's getting a print request. To resolve this problem, I recommend that you turn off the printer and the computer completely and cut the power for about thirty seconds. Then power the two machines back on, and when they started well then try the print job.

    Let me know how it goes and I'll get right back with you!

  • Windows Update 8.1 - now my LaserJet P1005 printer will not work (AGAIN!)

    I have a HP laserjet P1005 printer, whose yeaterday was work happliy in window 8. I downloaded 8.1 last night and the printer no longer works!

    With the window of printer status open (through the control panal windows) the details of the document are displayed briefly when you click on the button print. Nothing happens at the end of the printer. Theres nothing wrong with the printer as I can use it on a laptop without problem.

    Driver Hp downloads link it "seem" a driver for the 8.1 but I think it's only version 8.0 wrongly labeled.

    I am sick to death with HP. It took them more than 1 year to untangle a driver for Windows 8, and it blocks as soon as Microsoft tweek their BONES.

    Does anyone have any ideas how this can be solved? HP seem to be abandoned as a fundamental value customer - I have not buy one of their products again.

    Hi again - finally got it works!

    I downloaded the software from the link... again. Still no joy

    Remove the printer from the computer devices. Then downloaded the link... again. The computer had the printer appears as a device.

    Then...

    I started again from scratch:

    Reinstalled the 'original' driver from the boot disk. (the driver from the link above must have still been present).

    Printer on stream.

    Very happy.

  • HP LaserJet MP604: HP LaserJet MP604 do not print the PCL NET files

    Hello.

    New HP LaserJet MP604 printer does not display files PCL through a network, sent directly from PC.

    It print file correctly to the Web Interface (upoload PCL file https://10.17.200.112/hp/device/Print/Index), , but not network.

    I don't have these problems with the previous model HP LaserJet M602, it print properly the network file.

    Also when I print from MS Word, I see, what format of file (from to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS printer spool) changes SPL, before (for printer M602 files are plain text with PJL and PCL commands), but for printer files as zip/xml MP604.

    What can I do to change the settings for HP LaserJet MP604 so that he began to support PCL printing directly from the net?

    And what I have to change to see PCL/PJL commands coil?

    >>... If the file contains only plain ASCII text nothing prints and no error message...

    So maybe the definition of the '\\msk-ent01.ru.ori.local\intop1lj' target is incorrect?

    I remember vaguely when using "copy" at a command prompt session Windows, the target must be a Windows share name, preferably the one corresponding to the final part of the name of 8 characters or less.

  • Apparently, I got an automatic update of Windows XP. All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer.

    All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer. These work very well together for several years.

    Now all of a sudden I get a message that the computer cable is not connected.  I tried to charge the printer program.

    I unplugged and reconnect the cable to the computer, etc.. The system does not work.

    I learn by two other people, who have automatic updates of Windows, they had the same problem. We have a Kodak

    So, what should I do to fix this? I'm NOT a computer person and I'm confused.

  • HP LASERJET 4050: HP LASERJET 4050 PRINT JOBS WILL NOT PRINT FROM TRAY 2

    I have a HP Laserjet 4050 printer and it won't tank prnt 2.  It prints from the manual feed tray 1.  It does not recognize tray 2 printing, but it will let me know when the tiroir2 is missing.  No idea what this could be or how to fix it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Toni

    If you print a configuration page using Tray 1, then you can look and see what paper size and type it thinks are in tray 2.

    You will see probably is one of these elements is bad and most likely it is misdetecting the size of the paper due to a failure of the Board of Directors that detects the position of the fingers on the side of the status bar.

    I think you have probably found a message on the screen that says load paper in Tray 1 whenever you try to print from tray 2, if this is the case it should also allow you to hit the go button and print using any type of paper or the size it considers is in tray 2.
