LaserJet 2605dn Printer I can' print. Says "document printing" green light flashes but nothing ever prints. Tried to print a demo page, same thing happens.

this may sound silly but if your printer is plugged into a surge protector or power bar you may see this issue occur. those devices restrict the amount of voltage needed for the printer to work right.

try pluggin it directly into a wall. this may sound silly but if your printer is plugged into a surge protector or power bar you may see this issue occur. those devices restrict the amount of voltage needed for the printer to work right.

Follow this procedure to restore the printer to the factory defaults:

The printer automatically restarts.

Try resetting the machine with a toner CROM reset chip.

Ok, let me guide you through the XP set ups.

Go to the "Start" button, then click on the "Control Panel" icon.

On the "Control Panel" page click on the "Printers and Other Hardware" icon.

On the "Printers and Other Hardware" page below where it says "Pick a task" click on the green arrow next to "View installed printers or fax printers".

Now on this page titled "Printers and Faxes" your printer you are trying to use should be listed and have a black check-mark next to it in the name category.

If your printer is not listed then click on the "Add a printer" icon in the "Printer Tasks" side bar.

If it is listed then click on the printer to highlight it in the list and the on the "Printer tasks" side bar click on "Set printer properties".

A window will open that will have your printer name on top and several tabs on the page. Towards the bottom of the page you will see the "Print Test Page" button. Click on that first just to see what happens.

Now since that didn't work click on the "Printing Preferences" button.

Now you have a page that should have your printer name on top and several tabs on it.On the main tab check your settings. Media Type should be plain paper, Paper Source should be Auto Sheet Feeder. If you are unsure about the settings then click the "Defaults" button in the lower right corner of the page. I also click the box next to "Preview before printing" so I know if the program is actually responding to a print command.

Ok, now click the "Apply" button in the lower right corner of the page and then click "Ok" to close that page.

Now the "Printer Properties" page should be on top. Try the "Print Test Page" button again. Make sure you give it a minute sometimes it takes a while to "spool" the print job.

If that doesn't work then we need to check the "Ports" tab on the Properties page.

Click the "Ports" tab and check to see if there is a check-mark in the box next to "USB" Virtual printer port.Also there should be a check in the box next to :Enable bidirectional support".

If those are checked then you need to go to the "Advanced" tab.

On the advanced tab make sure there is a green dot in the circle next to "Always available". Then in the "Priority" box it needs to be the number 1. The "Driver needs to have the name of your printer in it. A green dot in the circle next to "Spool print documents so program .....", and next to "Start printing immediately".

There should be a green check-mark next to "Print spooled documents first" and "Enable advanced printing features".

Click on the "General" tab and print a test page.

Now click "Apply" and then "Ok" to close.

If it still doesn't work then restart your computer and try to print again.

Let me know what happens there are still a couple of things we can do. Good luck. Ok, let me guide you through the XP set ups.
