Top 20 HP LaserJet 4600dn Color Printer Questions & Answers

Clean the inside and check for any gunk built up try unplugging it for atleast 2 hours if neither helps then probably will need to be changed also try doing a calibration on it before buying item

First, turn the printer off. I'd go so far as to unplug it, wait a minute, and turn it on. If that doesn't work, take it in for service. It could be as simple as a fan - or it could be the logic board controlling it. Neither tend to be user-serviceable, at least not easily.

it is a bad or print job the 1st time if it keeps popping the code then you need to flash the firmware which is easy. use a usb hook it to a laptop undo the network so no can send a job to it set up laptop to print to it, so go to hp.com load driver then print then on the same page from hp download firmware and the installer read the how to then flash it,let it run its cycle it will turn on and off 1 or 2 times then it will come up to ready. if it keeps popping the code then check your cat 5 cables make sure they r in good shape if so, then ur looking at a bad formatter board, $200 up is the price. go to ebay or look for on google a company that buys and sell used ones un plug remove to screws install formatter turn on and in the printer put your ip gateway and sub and ur good to go. but 75% of the time its firmware

your printer driver is corrupt or the files your printing are corrupt- most 49.xxyy errors are down to software external to the printer. not sure?. disconnect the printer from all network points and cycle the power - when it is ready perform a path print test ( found under the diagnostics menu on the printer itself ) and you will likely find no errors ( if by some horror of horrors you do get 49.xxyy error then you will need to replace the firmware chip - Very Very unlikely) - what to do-- remove the printer and uninstall from the workstation - reboot the PC - re install the latest driver for your operating system downloaded from HP website re connect the printer - print away !!

Replace the paper tray. It is broken.

yellow tint on a laserjet printer is typically a sign of ink cartridges running low. i would attempt to change those first, if that doesn't work, try cleaning your jets by wiping with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol (first remove ink cartridges so they dont get damaged. also, allow to dry completely before reinstalling ink)

First thing I would do would be to make sure you are using HP genuine toner. Generic or 3rd party toner cartridges tend to fail about 50 percent of the time. If that doesnt solve it, the next step would be to make sure your firmware is up to date. Print out a config sheet and it will tell you the firmware version, which goes by dates. The older the date, the more likely that it has new updates since then. To update the firmware, go to the HP website and go to the support tab to find the version for your specific printer. Hope this helps.

In 35 years of doing this for a full time living, I have never seen worse products thany toner or developer than Quill.I would not buy that stuff if they were the last manufacturer in this solar system.,

Open the file or image you want to print.Select File>Print>Print Wizard/Tab opens>Select the printer from drop down list>Click Properties tab on the right side area>Below Color Intensity Area>click GREYSCALE PRINTING.

This work for me so give it a try.

Most 49 errors can be fixed by updating the firmware on the printer. Your issue is very common, especially if you just updated Adobe Acrobat. Go to HP.com and search for drivers and software. As you list 2 different printers I do not know which one you have or I would link it. Once you get to the drivers page look in the cross operating system (bios firmware) section and you will find the firmware updates here. Download the appropriate one and follow the instructions in the read me file to install. Post back with proper model number if you have issues and I will provide a direct link.

Usually in "page preferences" in the file drop-down bar. Then use "print preview" to see if the page looks OK.

Via the Control Panel: The Resets menu makes it possible to reset factory settings, disable and enable Powersave, and update the printer after new supplies are installed. Configure device menu The Configure device menu makes it possible to change the printer's default print settings, adjust the print quality, change the system's configuration and I/O options, and reset the printer's default settings RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS :Makes it possible to clear the page buffer, remove all perishable personality data, reset the printing environment, and return all default settings to factory defaults. Press Menu or (Select) to enter the MENUS.

1. Press (Down Arrow) to highlight Configure device menu .
2. Press (Select) to select Configure device menu
3. Press (down arrow) to System setup menu
4. Press (select) System setup menu

I'm going to assume you're using XP. I've not seen this problem yet with Vista or Windows 7, which handle the print queue differently. Sometimes the print queue gets corrupted, and a job gets "stuck" and you can't delete it. You can get rid of it this way:

1. Click "Start" on the task bar, then "Run...".
2. In the "Run" dialog box, type "cmd" (without the quotes) and enter.
3. Enter the following commands as shown in the cmd.exe window that opens:

• net stop spooler
• del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.shd
• del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.spl
• net start spooler
• exit

These steps delete the corrupted print queue, so the ghost print job will be gone. (In the commands above, "%systemroot%" is an environment variable that is filled in for you by Windows. Type it as shown.)

Microsoft has a knowledge base article which suggests using notepad to put these steps into a command file, a text file with a ".cmd" extension. Then you can just type the filename in the Run... dialog box and do less typing. This is handy if you find you need to clear the queue this way more than once in a while.

Manual says:
1. Reconnect the connectors for the fuser motor and on the DC controller PCB. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Replace the fuser drive assembly.
3. Replace the DC controller PCB and recalibrate

So yes I think you do

Hello, track lines could be caused by a number of components within the printer.

Is it any specific color? Yes - Change the toner of the color causing the lines.
open the front main door, Inspect the ETB for damage. Inspect the fuser for damage. If any component shows damage it will need to be replaced.

Reinstall the old cartrige that you were replacing and see if it is recognized. If it is then the problem is your new cartridge not the printer. Take the new cartridge back to vendor and get them to replace it, which they should do if they are reputable.

I need more info...what application are you printing from? What operating system?Windows? Is the printer directly connected to your pc? Is it wireless? Networked?

Try changing the port on the router.
Also you can follow the cable from the printer to the router.
Check that the cable has not been damaged.
Replacing the cable and trying another port on your router is the cheapest option
before the HP Technicians come out.
Good Luck
