HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - color alignment problem

I'm having a problem with the alignment of different colors with my HP CP1518ni printer. Essentially colors don't print really in the same place, as the impression of Red (Magenta) is never aligned with black / yellow / Blue (Cyan) (so I can have the text in red with a black text shadow 0.5 to 1 mm below or blue with a red shadow of 0.5 to 1 mm at the top for example).

Troubleshooting always just irritates me to calibrate, but I have many, many times over many months, calibrated and it does not help.

Does anyone know of other solutions? Or should I buy a new Magenta cartridge and see what happens?

My cartridges are:

Magenta - CB543a

Cyan - CB541a

Yellow - CB542a

Black - CB540a

Make sure that you update to the latest Firmware.   HP recently released a newer version which helped with a more concise calibration with the alignment of color plan.   Many people have reported these problems solved after running the update.

Update XP (English) can be found here:

    Can I solve the problems of alignment is to have my Color LaserJet CP1518ni?  Red do not line up, I installed the latest updates, etc.  Calibration does not help.  The printer is only a few years old.  What gives?

    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

    You too.

    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)

    -reset the NVRAM - did not problem

    -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

    have with XP SP2 if it perhaps questions, always read the instructions before doing the firmware.

    Here is a quick link to the CP1518ni...

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3422472 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & lang = to & CC = US

    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

    Take a few minutes so just let it do its thing. After that she did try to print something, for me it was NOT fixed.

    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

    last time. It will start the calibration process. Then he did print something new to see how he does.

    for me I had to do the calibration process twice before the quality was normal again.

    Good luck, hope this helps some, I read that some printers still presist even after this process.

  • 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.

  • HP Deskjet 3050 tri color cartridge problem

    I bought genuine HP ink cartridges to replace those I used quickly to the top. That black worked fine, but when I later put the tri color in the 'tri color cartridge problem' message came, and when I tried to print it stated that he was "damaged or did not. I tried to re-insertion and carefully clean the copper part without touching where the ink out. I don't really know what else to try, if it's just a faulty cartridge is there a way I can get a refund or a free replacement because it was pretty expensive? Thank you.

    Hi dsavz,

    I hope you were able to print correctly after changing the cartridge.

    Usually they could be exchanged for another cartridge in case of warranty.

    You can try to get back to the store to see if they'll exchange it for you.

    Because it was outdated at the time of purchase.  I would like to give it a try.

    Good day!

  • Neophyte color management problems

    Neophyte color management problem:

    Image rendered PS colors do not match monitor or images rendered with other applications.

    Recall facts: using MacBook Pro retina with NVIDIA GeForce GT M 750 (calibrated in sRGB with ColorMunki Display software), OSX 10.95, PS CS5 and new external NEC PA272 (material calibrated to native with calibrator Spectraview II & NEC gamut) connected with the mini-displayport cable. Although slightly different due to different Mac and NEC display gammuts, a sample JPEG on Mac seems somewhat near NEC as desktop BG on respective monitors images and seen with the OSX Preview app on a monitor. AND the same image in PS when the image PS window is MOVED to NEC, is STILL, UNTIL the mouse is released. Then the image in the PS on NEC image window moves with a glance off the coast of colors. I am aware that the Mac display is sRGB and the NEC a range wide screen, and that this image of the example is a JPEG to sRGB, but I wanted an image that would be displayed on two monitors, with different applications, including the Psalm but it's the same thing when the main PSD used to create the JPEG format is loaded in PS then MOVED over to the NEC. Tried to play with management PS colors and corresponding attempt to different

    Profiles, but no luck. Tried the General searches on Google, but I'm lost. Any suggestions where to start to fix this problem? Thank you!

    The standard behavior in a multi-screen configuration is that Photoshop uses other operating system display profile offers upward so that the display - up to what the image window crosses the line to halfway between them. Then he goes to use the other profile.

    The shift-on-drop thing indicates a video card problem. That's how OpenGL works in Photoshop, when you drag an OpenGL image is temporarily suspended, and then snaps back on when you file.

    So I would try to disable the GPU in the PS preferences or set it to the basic mode. This shifts all display color to the CPU. Then wait for the next update of video driver from Apple.

  • 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.

    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!

    Hi, I have an alignment problem with my program. I use two verticalfieldmanager in a horizontalfieldmanager to display two columns.

  • Weird alignment problem

    I think it might have something to do with my work on a small document - 48 * 48 icon - but maybe not.

    I have some strange alignment problems. I have an arrow head, I try to line up on a tree, and no matter what I do, they refuse to align the death. The alignment buttons don't work, dragging manually won't work - it falls right on 1px on each side where I want.

    Any ideas what's happening? I have no guides that would have an impact on it.

    Make sure you have not align on the pixel grid is activated in the transformation Panel.

    Although, if you prepare the content that will eventually be pixel based, leave this setting on ensures things seem to be crunchy in pixels.

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - COLORS NOT ALIGNED

    Has anyone solved this ridiculous question, where all the colors are not aligned when printed?  Black text prints perfectly. But when the printing of the images, the colors are not aligned. Question lasts for months and YES I did the following:

    1. Calibrated thousand times
    2. Restored the default printer 1000 x
    3. Lost my money and has spent nearly $200 on OEM all color cartridges 4... lost!
    4. The drivers reinstalled 1000 x
    5. Have the most up-to-date drivers... believe me.
    6. Ran the printing software HP and doctor Scan and it shows me NO QUESTIONS... ridiculous
    7. Checked the Forum from HP Support with no resolution... I'm with you other people with this same issue. HP HELP PLEASE!
    8. Please tell me that it is a HARDWARE PROBLEM! Of course you won't admit it.
    9. Same problem occurs on my PC - Win 7, Macbook... does not matter... it's the printer!
    10. And finally, I posted this plea for HELP!

    Thank you HP.

    What it sounds like, it's a hardware problem. I would like to begin by ensuring that you have the firmware updated. The firmware of the printer, is what determines how the mechanics of the printer will act. If it has expired, it can cause all sorts of problems. If this does not work, try to do a hard reset. I've included a link to the firmware and instructions for a hard reset below. Let me know what happens.

    Firmware:
    http://goo.GL/gCXvr

    To do a hard reset:
    1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
    3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. wait for 30 seconds.
    5. plug in the printer and turn it on.
