20 Most Recent HP Hewlett Packard LaserJet P1005 Printer Questions & Answers

uninstall driver fully and re-install it again.

please do the following check if the printer is on and is blinking green will printing if its blinking red then it means there is a problem,if its green and its not printing the following might be the problem

• your print server is slow Add more RAM to increase its printing speed
• your print drivers are not well reinstall them

if its blinking red then check the following

• paper jam-paper stuck in the computer
• print ctaridge not placed properly

Well, there could be a couple of things that can go wrong here. Usually firmware updates or re-installing drivers resolve the problem, but there is no firmware update for this model and i'm assuming you've tried the driver and other excel files work fine then that leads to a few other possibilities. First, is the file located on your hard drive? (if not, save it to the desktop, open it from there and try to print). Second, Have you tried to reboot your computer and printer? Try those first.

There is a cleaner blade or wiper blade that cleans excess toner off the drum unit it is dirty or worn so you will need to replace the unit once more

This sounds like a bad contact for the cartridge. This can be caused by a bad cartridge or a damaged contact. If you just changed the cartridge, try putting the old one back in first. If that does not fix the problem check the following. The contact for the drum is located on the left hand side when you open the printer and remove the toner cartridge. The contacts are fairly fine and do get damaged if cartridges are removed on inserted in a rough manner. Look at the side of the cartridge and you will see a small metal disk that should be centered on the drum (the green cylinder, covered by a moving shutter). Approximate where that would line up in the printer cavity and that will be the drum contact.

Hi there!
The reason why it's only printing in black is because it's a monochrome printer. It uses only the black toner cartridge.

unplug the usb from the computer. try uninstalling the printer from the control panel.
then reboot the computer and plug the usb back in so that it will reinstall.

this may help. try this first.

HP LASERJET P1005
PROBLEM: it was out of paper, new paper was installed, but printer wouldn't feed or print

SOLUTION: Lift the top cover of the LaserJet (where the printed paper would come out) and close it again. This resets the printer. Now the printer should feed and print again.

Here's a quick summary of what's new for printing in Snow Leopard (read below for more details):

• Apple's Software Update will automatically provide you with third-party printer software and updates.
• "Nearby Printers" is a list of available printers that will appear right inside your printer dialog box. Adding a nearby printer is just a selection away.
• You can simply connect a USB printer and the print queue will be automatically created.
• You can create a PDF document from any application and have an automated workflow process it.

Before you connect your printer

• Run Software Update to check for the latest third-party printer software and updates.
• Make sure the printer is powered on, has paper, and doesn't have any issues such as a paper jam or low ink.
• Adding, managing, or removing print queues may require an administrator account name and password--make sure you know one for your Mac.
• If you are upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5, see "Upgrading Print Queues..." in the additional information section below.
  

How to add a printer
To add a USB printer
Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers, so simply connect a USB printer and the print queue will be automatically created. If you do not see your printer in the "Printer:" pop-up menu after connecting it, go to the "To add a printer via the Print & Fax preference pane" section below.
To add "Nearby Printers"
With Mac OS X v10.6 you can quickly add a "Nearby Printer"--a nearby printer is a printer connected to the USB port on an Apple Time Capsule or AirPort base station, a network capable printer that supports Bonjour, or a printer being shared by another Mac. Snow Leopard uses Bonjour technology to find nearby printers.
To add a Nearby Printer, all you have to do is select the Nearby printer you want from the "Printer:" pop-up menu:
Snow Leopard will automatically create the Print Queue.
Note: Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers. If an additional or updated printer software is available, Software Update will offer it to you. For more information about supported printers see this article. You can also visit the printer vendor's website for printer software, or contact them for technical support.

To add a printer via the Print & Fax preferences pane

Control-click the System Preferences icon in your Dock and choose "Print & Fax" from the Dock menu. If the Print & Fax lock icon appears locked, click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password when prompted. Click the + (plus) icon below the Printers pane on the left to open the Add Printer application.
From the Add Printer toolbar you have these default tools:

1. Default - Used to get a list of all printers that your Mac can see via USB, Bonjour, and so forth. Tip: If you have a long list of printers, use the search field to find the printer you are looking for. Just click the printer in the list that you would like to add and Snow Leopard will add the printer driver for you.
   
   • Mac OS X v10.6 comes with software for many third-party printers. If an additional or updated printer software is available, Software Update will offer it to you. If you do not see your printer listed in the "Print Using:" pop-up menu or a Generic printer driver is selected, then the printing software may not be available from Apple. For more information about supported printers see this article. You can also visit the printer vendor's website for printer software, or contact them for technical support.
     
   • Once the driver is set, click the "Add" button to create your Print Queue.
     
     
2. Fax - Used to add a queue for the Fax device connected to your Mac.
3. IP - Used to add your printer network printers that don't use Bonjour or are on a different network subnet from your computer. Printers that support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), Line Printer Daemon (LPD), and HP Jetdirect (Socket) can be added in this manner. See your printer's manual or support documentation for information about how to setup the printer to use an IP-based printing protocol.
4. Windows- Used to add your printer being shared via the Windows printer sharing protocol (CIFS). Tip: See Mac 101: File Sharing for details about how to add your Mac to a Windows Workgroup. This is often needed to see Windows printer shares.

You did not say if there were any error messages. As a first step I would suggest downloading the Print Diagnostic Utility and see if it can help you work through the issues.

You may need to update your drivers for your operating system:

Trust this is helpful. :)

Try using the HP Scan Diagnostic Utility in Windows - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

There is a small chip board on the cartridge that has failed. See if it's on place. See if the contacts are dirty and clean them, both the cartridge and the printer. The chip is replaceble. Replace the chip or the entire toner cartridge.
