LaserJet 4050, low message "Toner".

Hello

After several years of printing, I finally had to replace the cartridge in my LaserJet 4050.  The new cartridge is a genuine HP, but after installing I can not print.

The printer was purchased second hand and since I got it it has always displayed a low 'Toner' message in the dialogue of impression, BUT NEVER ON the PRINTER LED.

The irony is that the old print cartridge is a compatible generic and replacement is a genuine HP.

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards

Gary

This is so embarrassing!  I found the seal on the new cartridge, removed it and everything works now.  Leave it on the forum just in case others have the same problem.

Oh by the way, despite setting up a whole new cartridge HP, the print dialog still warns of low toner level.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Printing problems with HP LaserJet 4050 TN

    Hi all

    I have a HP LaserJet 4050 TN and I connected on my desktop Dell (8 64-bit Windows) with a parallel cable / USB (TrendNet 1284).

    When I try to print, nothing happens (eventually I get an error message from Windows 8 on the right that says: "error of HP LaserJet printing...) The printer could not print").

    The printer is on, of course, and it is able to print (for example, test configuration page prints very well).

    From the printer connection, looks like it automatically installed the HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL 5 driver.  I tried to update and it says that it is up-to-date.

    Any ideas what the problem may be?  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Edit

    ----

    Just to add that this printer model seems not support a network connection for the HP site. I try the parallel-usb connection since it seems to be the only option to connect the printer to my computer.

    More that likely the IP you have assigned manually whenever you got the printer. The Jet Direct card is when you connect the ethernet cable into the printer. I have 2 screws in the top and bottom.

    What I would do is a cold reset so your home network could affect its own IP address.

    With the printer off, press the big green button, and then turn on the printer. Wait what he say cold reset on the display, then release the button. Connect your network cable, wait about 1 to 2 minutes for DHCP to assign an IP address and print a configuration page. The second page will show you the IP address.

    Then go to your driver, click on Ports and change the port to a Standard TCP/IP port. If it is not available, then create a new port. Enter the IP address of the printer and print a test page.

    Hello

    Please can some explain to me if there is an option in Color LaserJet Enterprise lower M552 of ink notifications by e-mail to a certain level?

    concerning

    Juan

    If you are using the features through the EWS (embedded Web server), then all you need to do is change the low Toner notification setting in the SAP.

    If you use ACD software, then you need to change its settings.

  • Cannot set up XP for Laserjet 4050 of Win7 64 bit

    I have correctly installed and shared my HP Laserjet 4050 (no suffix) on a Win7 Pro 64-bit computer. But on other XP 32 bit on the same local network, I am able to see the printer, but I can't install the drivers no matter what.

    I downloaded the latest drivers PCL5 (I also tried PCL6) and universal drivers. But when I add a printer under XP it says it will automatically install the drivers for the Win7 machine but she then said that the Win7 machine doesn't have the correct drivers and asks me to choose a local directory. When I go into the directory PCL5 and select hpbf001i.inf, I get the error message "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver.

    I did it several times without success. \

    Help, please.

    It shouldn't look that I tried on my system and both were working, but I would recommend using the "------" instead of "/ /" to access resources on the local network.  What happens if no anti-virus or firewall do you have on the XP box?

  • HP LaserJet 4050: Error printing on HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 Windows R2 2012

    We have recently migrated our Windows Server 2003 environment to Windows Server R2 2012.  Some of our printers, specifically HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 no longer work with Server R2 2012, even if we downloaded the drivers for Windows R2 2012 from the Internet HP site and made sure the printer was using the new driver from HP.  When you try to print from the server or terminal connection, we get a "printing error" in the status field in the queue.  We do not know what to do to get these printers to print.  We have several of them and redirect users to print to another printer which is further so they can print.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Best regards

    Paul

    If you cannot print from the server, then on the server, the parameters must be incorrect.  You can even ping the printers on the server?  Since you have more than 1 printer with this problem I doubt that all the printers hp all wrong.  Something else in the way that you configure these printers must be the issue.  If you can ping and also access the web server, then I think you have problems with active directory.  If you can not ping so perhaps have changed the ip addresses or the road you take these ip address has changed.

  • LaserJet 4050: Laserjet 4050 connecting to the new computer

    I just finished setting to the top of my new desktop computer (Maj MainGear - very nice!).  I started to connect my LaserJet 4050 via its cable parallel (IEEE-1284) to see that my new computer does not seem to have this port.  She seems to have only USB ports.  Any suggestions?   Is there a parallel to USB adapter?

    Yes, there is such an adapter but your biggest problem will be drivers for the printer work with current versions of Windows. Computers have no parallel ports for quite a while. This is the cable of the adapter that I used with my Laserjet 4050:

    You must use the "Universal" printer driver and it strips away any sort of advanced features, but don't let not the printer works at a basic level:

  • LaserJet 4050: Problem install Laserjet 4050 in Windows 10 x 64

    I installed upd pcl5 - x 64 - 5.9.0.18326.exe that has worked before on 7 & 10 64-bit Windows. Now, I get that the printer is in an error state or the printing error on HP LaserJet 4050 Series. I tried many drivers and no one works. The printer is connected to the PC through the LPT1 port.

    How can I get my printer working?

    There are known issues with Windows 10 and lpt1.

    Open Device Manager and look for settings for port LPT 1, and a checkbox to tell him to use any available interrupt.

    I wish I could be more explicit, but I've only read about this fix on another ten to twelve old LaserJet.

  • LaserJet Pro 200 MFPM276nw: toner smudges

    A new Laser Jet Pro 200 bought several months ago; all very well with the cartridges supplied with the printer.

    Had to replace the black cartridge after about 2 months without any problems.

    I come to the point where a change of the cartridge was necessary for color cartridges - this in part for the nagging messages on the low toner level.  Swapped all three and the cyan cartridge is now Burr toner everywhere on the page.  Thought something was wrong with the printer.  Replaced the new with the old one - good cyan cartridge.  The new number of return to and even one.

    I ran 30 pages through the printer with the same result.  These are genuine HP cartridges.

    For an example, see the attachment.

    Please help.  Thank you!

    When it asks for the product category says "laserjet".

    then it will ask for the model number & say "M276.

    explain what is happening to the assigned technology, and it will generate a case - ask you to print a configuration page and supplies status page and should send you a replacement. You will get a return label with your replacement, and you probably need to put these reports with your faulty cartridge. It happened, but rarely.

  • Using the LaserJet EWS to read Toner levels

    SAP (built-in web server) is a useful tool which is used in many ways related to the networks.  The SAP can provide information on Web Services and can also set Static IP and static DNS on the printer.

    But, if it is connected to the network via Ethernet or via a wireless connection with their Laseret, it is also a great way to check Toner levels and print reports such as the page use to know the County of printer'spage.

    To access EWS of the printer.  Take the IP address of the printer and type it in a browser on the computer. The IP address can be found under settings wireless to the printer on display or on the Network Configuration report that can be printed.  I did my review on the LaserJet CM1415fnw all-in, for the purpose of this post. I hit just the wireless button that displays the information of the IP address and SSID wireless settings.

    Once we've hit this address in the browser (in this case, I used Chrome), the integrated Web server opens to a screen that will show you some basic information on this page. It will be showing the ink levels estimated for the printer.

    It is set to the status tab and show an approximate representation of the levels of toner for each color. If you want more information, click on the green button entitled details of supplies in the lower right of the screen. That will open a screen that breaks down each additional cartridge by providing information on:

    • Left of approximate pages that the cartridge can print
    • Pages printed with this supply
    • First installation date
    • Date of the last use of the cartridge

    So, for those who are connected by Ethernet or wireless to the printer; Here's another option to find information about the ink levels.  These steps and information listed are general guidelines.

    I hope this helps and that the community finds it instructive. Good impression!
