Laserjet 2600n
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Magenta color is vertically misaligned after upgradign to Win10. Previously no issues.

Ran Print and Scan Doc - all green checks. The test print has Magenta misaligned.

The "Printer" tab in 'Print and Scan Doc' - is greyed out...looks like an issue.

updated the drivers and software from HP site for Win10 64 bit.

Cannot find the alignment test that previously Win7 allows adjustment of the print heads.

 

I have read through the threads.

Reset to factory settings.

Run calibration a few times.

 

Suggestions?

On the printer go to the reports menu and print a configuration report.  Look at the colored bars at the bottom of the page. If they are off go to the print quality menu and run the calibrate routine 3 times in a row.  See if that helps.  If not post a copy of the last config page for us to evaluate and give you further instructons.  Calibration occurs at the printer and nothing to do with your upgrade or the computer.

I also tried resetting the settings to factory but that did not work either.

Super NVRAM initializer

CAUTION Super NVRAM initialization will erase all network settings. Before performing

Super NVRAM initialization, print a Configuration page, which contains network setting

information.

When a super NVRAM init is performed, the printer enters the Generic Product Mode, which

changes the language and country/region settings to “undefined.”

NOTE Super NVRAM init will erase all data stored in the protected NVRAM settings.

Use the following procedure to execute a super NVRAM init.

1 Turn off the printer.

2 Press and hold the (LEFT ARROW) and (RIGHT ARROW) buttons simultaneously.

3 Turn on the printer.

4 When you see the message Permanent storage init displays, release the (LEFT ARROW) and

(RIGHT ARROW) buttons.

When the super NVRAM init is complete, the printer will return to the Ready state
