drivers for HP CP1215 for OS10.10

I had the same problem with a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. I followed the steps here and nothing worked for me. I thought it would never work, and that I will have to buy a new printer. So I kept trying until I got it working just fine (I think those steps you mentioned here were important. Although I'm not an expert)

What I did was really simple:

1. I downloaded the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 from apple's website here: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X and installed them.
2. Then I went and added a new printer under System Preferences> Printers & Scanners as shown here:
3. Now here was the trick. What I did is that I chose another driver from the list, simply because I didn't find the CP1215 driver there. So under "Use" click on "Select Software..." and choose "HP Color LaserJet 2600, 1.6.0" then click on "Add".Voila! This should solve your problem 🙂
4. Now my HP Color LaserJet CP1215 printer works fine on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite.

I only have one problem though, and I don't seem to be able to fix it. The problem I'm facing is with color prints. Black/Grey prints are really good and seems to be aligned, but the color prints seems to be misaligned! 😕 I am still trying to find a way to solve this problem.

Please let me know if my solution here solved your problems as well.

i have the same problem with a hp color laserjet cp1215.

it is ok, with Mavericks, but since the upgrade to Yosemite, the printer don't work. I send to print, the print queue, sendo to printer, but no print at all.

i search the internet, for yosemite and cups, and i found a answer that worked for me.

with Yosemite, Apple have upgraded CUPS to 2.0, and CUPS work different. So you need to change one think in configuration.

open terminal, and write the following commands:

sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'

you asked for the password for superuser

sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd

after this check in print queue if the printer is ready and not in pause mode.

The printer now should work, if the printer only print in B&W you need to change the configuration in CUPS web interface.

try http://localhost:631/ ; if you receive a error telling the web interface is disabled, type in terminal services the following

cupsctl WebInterface=yes

after this try again http://localhost:631/

after this choose in the web page "Adding Printers and Classes", bellow the CUPS for Administrators title.

in the new page, choose manage printers; after this choose your printer.

in the page of printer choose from the second combobox the option "set default options";

in the option page, change the color mode from monochrome to color, and save hitting the button "set default option", you be asked for a user and password with admin privileges.

After this your print is ok.

For whose, who use this method:

I've solved the color printing.
It's very simple. By default our printer has some resolution extension technology ImageREt 2400.
It HAVE TO BE DISABLED.

So, just select "600 dpi" and everything will be ok.

Only issue - you have to do this every printing, i can't fine variant to save this setting.

It also worked for me. Thanks you so much!!!

Rami,

I have a new MacBook Air with Sierra. I am not used to MAC but am stumbling along. Your fix got me to print but I suspect I have a color issue as I get a yellow triangle alert on the printer icon.

Have you explored other drivers to see if there's one that will allow color and black and white?

This CP1215 is workhorse and I need it!

Thanks for your fix! keep us posted!

Hi,

The HP Laserjet CP1215 was actually never supported on any Mac OS X and no drivers are available for the operating system:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01973413&tmp_track_link=ot_ faqs/top_issues/en_us/c01973413/loc:1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3422476&task=

May you used a 3rd party driver such as Foo2HP?

If so you may try reinstalling the driver, although I doubt it been adapted or tested with Yosemite:

Another option you may try is to install the following package:

HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X

Next add the printer under Printers & Scanners,

Click the Use drop down menu and then click on Select Printer Software.

Locate and select the HP Laserjet CP1025 and add the printer, then check if that may allow printing to the CP1215.

Hope that may help,

How is the printer connected? USB? Wireless?

Is the USB directly connected to your Mac?

First ensure the printer s powered on and ensure the USB is property plugged to the Mac and the back of the printer

I would suggest plugging the USB to a back port of the Mac in case you use the keyboard port which is not powered,

I would also suggest ensuring the USB is not longer than 2-3 meters long and directly connected to your Mac (not through any USB extension, hub, etc.)..

If these doesn't help, it worth trying a different USB cable, the Mac should see the printer regardless the drivers availablility,
