Printing only prints out black

I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn. It did not automatically detect it so I had to enter the IP manually. When I try to print anything out from the Touchpad, the printer literally prints out a whole page of black ink. I've tried printing from Adobe Reader and an email, both give the same result.

Re: Printing only prints out black

I have a Hp 2840 doing exactly the same just printing full black pages when trying to print.

I have an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and have the same problem as well. I hope there is a fix.

I have an HP P2015X (networked), which did detect automatically, once I went

through its web interface and enabled Bonjour.  But yeah, an attempt to

print a simple text document using quickoffice yielded two solid black pages.

 

Not sure what the rating for my toner cartridge is at 100% coverage, but

it can't be good.  =/

I have a 2605dn too, it DID auto-detect, but am having the same problem - all black.

Re: Printing only prints out black

i too have a HP 2605dn.  all my wireless devices can print to the printer except our touchpads.  which is too bad, as we are enjoying our touchpads.

Re: Printing only prints out black

3.0.4 doesn't seem to have addressed this.  Is it being looked into?  It's

got to be a simple bug somewhere, seems odd that some PCL5/6 Laserjets

work fine while others exhibit this strange behavior. 

 

I'd rather avoid having to fire up a PC every time I want to print a page

(the whole reason I plunked down for a decent networked LaserJet).

Re: Printing only prints out black

Haven't tested it too extensively, just a few Quickoffice documents, but...

my P2015 now seems to print properly in 3.0.5!  Thanks devs!
