HP Color LaserJet 4500N on an iMac

I currently use a HP 4550N on my network (with some older Macs) and have the chance to pick up a 4500N. What is the difference? Will it work?

Don't ask why, I want another old printer... it's complicated.

Thanks in advance.

The 4550N is only compatible with OS X versions up to 10.6, which would explain why it does not work on Mac with 10.7. It goes the same for the 4500N. You may be able to access the running 10.7 by downloading the HP print drivers.

Here is a link if you want to give it a shot: HP v.2.14 for OS X printer drivers

Other than that, you shouldn't have any issues in your current setup.

Hope that helps!

  • HP Color LaserJet 4500N streaks questions...

    Thanks in advance for any help that you could provide.

    Recently, I took a HP 4500N and have problems with the color of the stripes.  I replaced all the toner and also installed a new transfer kit (C4196A) and a new fuser unit (C4197A) kit for the machine.  It is also replace the feed roller.  In addition to all this, I also opened the machine and cleaned (wipe with a damp towel) all internal areas.  When printing after all this, it seems still relatively the same (see pictures attached).

    For me, it seems that I need to clean one of the other rolls but do not know where in the machine, I need to look at the next.

    Thank you

    Looking at the drum, which seems to be exactly the problem. I'll order a new. Thank you.

  • MFP M277 dw: Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro issues with iMac

    I have a 2015 21.5 "iMac running El Capitan (10.11.3) and a HP Color LaserJet Pro M277dw MFP that falls in offline mode when it is idle for a while.

    Once the Mac has been sleeping, I can no longer copy, scan or fax without having to restart the printer and the iMac. And it is intermittent. This does not happen everytime the iMac goes to sleep, but no doubt it happens once or twice a week.

    The printer is connected both wireless (so that I can print from my iPad in other parts of the House.) and directly to the iMac via USB.

    I have updated all the HP software related and have applied the last update of the HP firmware for the printer as well. I also ran through all the game instructions that were provided with the printer.

    Other troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @RBurgett,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your fall issue offline printer.

    I understand you have a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw connected to a wireless network for your iPad and connected with a USB to your iMac running Mac OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan, but the drops of the printer is offline after has been idle for a while and becomes also insensitive after mode "Eve". I would like to help with that.

    If you see the message on the printer offline on the iMac, it would be because the iMac think he's using the wireless printer, when it should be using the USB connection.

    You should be able to solve that by unplugging the USB cable. Once the USB cable is removed, reset the Mac printing system. If you don't know how to reset the Mac printing system, here is a document of support that can help - reset the printing system.

    After printing Mac system has been reset, you should be able to reconnect the USB cable and add it to printers and Scanners.

    As far as being not able to copy, scan or fax without having to restart the printer and the iMac that could be solved by resetting the printing system and making sure the USB printer is listed in the printers and Scanner. When the printer seem to be insensitive, the first step is to perform a reset of the power on the printer.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • 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 3800 Apple Airport Extreme problem.

    HP Color Laserjet 3800.

    Mac OS Lion.

    IMac and macbook Air.

    Improved Airport Extreme newest model of much older model. Now, I can't print from my office iMac and MacBook Air via the wifi on my HP printer connected to Airport Extreme USB port.  Seems to send the print job to the printer, but the printer message 'data' and then hangs until I press the button "check", how to print a page that says "ERROR: FAUTIVE COMMAND timeout: timeout".   Prints fine when connected directly to the computer via USB.

    Your printer has an Ethernet cable connection?  If so, connect directly to the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable, which should work.

    If only USB port only in the printer, sometimes it is useful to restart the printer and the router, created a new printer queue and try again.  If you still have the same error, then we will have to continue the investigation

  • HP Color Laserjet: HP Color LaserJet - lines/stripes

    Hello

    I have a HP color LaserJet and I get a lot of lines and streaks on my printed pages.

    I also note toner inside the printer and my printer seems to take cleaning cycles more than before.

    Thank you!

    Although I work for HP, my posts are MY opinion and not those of HP.

    I would recommend some of the things

    First of all, make sure that your firmware is up-to-date, go to the page software and drivers on HP.com download and install the latest firmware available for the printer.

    Then, make sure that the toner collection unit is not complete

    Finally, print a cleaning of the control panel of the printer page, normally, you should select the following text in the menu:

    • Maintenance of the unit
    • Calibration / cleaning
    • Cleaning page

    You can also view this document as well.

  • Color LaserJet MFP M477fdn Pro: M477 Software Installation fails at 99%

    Like others who have posted here, I have been unable to get the printer software to complete the installation. The printer is a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdn, 3 months. I'm trying to install the software on a new workstation HP Z240 performing Windows 10 (64-bit). The connection is via USB cable. The printer and the software have been previously used with a Windows 7 machine without problem.

    I tried, repeatedly, to install the software from the disc supplied with the printer and also a 126.6 mb download HP Color LaserJet MFP printer M477 Pro series full software and drivers. The results are the same with a source - installation apparently progresses up to connect it the indicator product of progression from screen reached 99%, how it gives an error message "a Setup operation took too long to run. It is a fatal error, preventing the use of the product. Restart your computer and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please visit the web site of product support for your product. "It takes about 20 minutes for the phase of installation to go from 0 to 99%, and then later hooked up to 99% for 2-5 minutes, the error message is displayed.

    I am able to print to this printer, but at least do not have the ability to scan from the computer there is no indication that the I.R.I.S. OCR software is installed.

    I had care of do not connect USB until you are educated.

    I tried repeating the installation without uninstalling first and get the same result.

    I used the uninstall contained the disk feature, and have deleted the printer to the computer using the Panel between the installation attempts.

    I tried to do a right click to run the installer as administrator and get the same result.

    I tried to install after clean boots with turned off Windows Firewall and all functions of the software Norton Internet Security including its function of firewall turned off.

    The event viewer displays none error entry at all and no entry identifies HP as the source of an event.

    I tried to connect via USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

    I cleaned recycle them and temporary folders.

    I have updated the firmware of the printer to the 20160331 version.

    Printed printer configuration report will not display any errors, nor that the printer itself indicates something is wrong and confirms the update of the firmware.

    I deselected the optional software, the devices experience HP and I.R.I.S. OCR, trying to install only the required files two more program scanning HP.

    Thanks for any help solving this.

    I think I understood the question, 10 windows installs its own driver, and the installation program expects the hp driver to install.

    DO this FOR THE HP INSTALLER PROCESS (when the percentage meter goes)

    1. go into the Device Manager and find the printer in the list of devices

    2. right click on the printer and select "Update Driver software"

    3. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

    4. choose "Let Me pick one...» »

    5. Select the named driver: HP Color LaserJet MFP M477 PCL-6 Pro (make sure it's one with a dash between the pcl and 6!)

    6. click next and back to the installation of hp box and must now see the printer and continue the installation.

  • Color Laserjet 2550 L and XP SP3

    Hello

    I installed XP SP3, last week and since I was not able to print from my color laserjet 2550 L printer. I tried the windows troubleshooting printing suggestions for the use of different drivers, but no luck. Any body out there got any advice, it's a pain not being able to print.

    Thank you very much

    If there is no Purifier not listed on the Web site nothing listed in your programs menu or add remove software window, then all you have is a base driver installation.  Following the steps listed for remove driver and the entrance to the server properties should be sufficient.  Manual uninstallation is for printers that have utility programs or use Software Solutions of Support or Director.  Even still, following the instructions provided here should at least bring basic functionality.

    I use this printer for years.  It works beautifully.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro M177 MFP: HP Color LaserJet not able to connect to connected HP

    Hello

    I try to activate my printer (HP Color LaserJet M177fw MFP Pro) ePrint and much more, but I'm not able to do it cause connection problem, I guess.

    When I'm trying to 'print the information sheet', for example, the printer is not able to connect (stay on 'Sign in' loop indefinitely).

    My printer is less than a Vodafone EasyBox router, with firewall disabled and no specific barriers defined by me.

    Should I set some port forwarding (even if they should apply to ignore the firewall, when turned on) or any other specific configuration in the router?

    the same connection problem, of course, it happens when I do touch printer and console web administration, of course.

    In addition, I'll let you know that my router is not blocking access, for example, to-from the web (i.e. I am able to manage my NAS from the outside, since he admitted to a DDNS) and other local devices

    I alreay set 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS pri/sec and had an output of cycle after the series of DNS.

    My printer also has a static IP address (defined by the DHCP protocol, based on the MAC address), so not a problem, I think.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Lorenzo

    Hi Lorenzo,.

    To enable Web Services fumctionality, you'll need to install the latest firmware on your printer (version 20160525)

    You can locate the current version of your printer by selecting configuration > reports > Page of Configuration, the firmware version is listed under the information section on the printer.

    Updated the firmware on Linux by following these steps, but I don't know if the latest firmware is available for Linux or not, try:

    http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-Web/tech_docs/man_pages/firmware.html

    If the latest firmware is not available for linux, temporarily install the printer on a Windows PC or a my and install the latest firmware:
