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.

  • CP4525 colors not aligned

    Good day everyone, need some help with this machine.  Customer provided that the colors are not aligned and looking at it, they are indeed correct.  Yellow is about 1 mm wide at the side of the rest of the colors, the magenta is also misaligned, but to a much lesser degree.  The client stated that they had already changed the cartridges of toner without effect, but I did so as well to make sure, and there is no change.  I performed the procedures "calibrate full now ' and ' calibrate fast now" several times, especially after changing parts without change.  I changed the belt of ITB, the DC controller and the scanner unit laser and none of these changes have solved the problem.  At this point I don't know what direction to take to solve the problem.  It does not appear that this machine has the ability to align the colors manually, because everything is done during calibration and make calibration makes no changes at all.  Thanks for any ideas or help them.

    I really don't know what to tell you.  Here's something that you can try at your own risk.  I don't know if your model has this procedure, but the cp3505 had what to call that a dc controller reset procedure that was not documented but solve some strange problems with this printer.  Maybe yours is the same.  In the back is a little hole where stick you something small for an engine test which is just a leaf with lines of all colors.  On the cp3505 if you placed something in the hole you would do a test engine, but simply applied the pressue and at the same time turned on the power to the printer and continued to hold until the printer is delivered to the loan it would reset the dc controller.  Maybe worth a try.  Is attached a picture with the location of the engine test switch.

    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.

    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. »

    Cartridge issues are normally resolved by changing the cartridge.  It is usually not much anyone can do to fix one defective, other than frequent cleaning, cartridge until ink is exhausted.  It is often a lot of annoying for most people to bear.

    If you have isolated him down to a problem with the drum or cartridge that my suggestion is to replace it with another cartridge first and consider other options for cleaning and maintenance after.  If the Exchange with a new cartridge solved the problem, you can pursue the options of guarantee/return/refund from the supplier you bought the cartridge under whatever policy they have for defective cartridges.

    This image does not yellow-orange on my side. It seems that we have a color management problem going on here. Have you had your screen calibrated? Do you know what profile is connected to your monitor (or if a customer one has been created due to the calibration)? What you have in your color settings from the Edit menu? You have proof colors enabled in the View menu?
