I hope you did calibration..The Flat cable from laser scanner assm to DC controller is very short & narrow, while connecting it to DC board little bit it will come out at scanner assm PCB, remove upper portion up to laser scanner assm refix flat cable both ends of DC & laser pcb. fix all back & try.. I hope it will resolve the issue.. Best of luck...

    But please answer one more question How is it possible to calibrate without colors?

  • Anonymous Sep 28, 2011

    The printer always completes the calibration without any error and it is ready

    In addition in the event log no any error appears

    Pl clarify:
    color print outs through system ?
    color in copy mode?
    color in demo page?

  • Anonymous Sep 28, 2011

    With any option I choose there is no color except black. I tried to copy, I tried to print, I tried the demo page, everything! It misses all the colors except black!

  • Anonymous Sep 28, 2011

    Any option has the same result. No colors except black. I tried to print, to copy, demo page... everything!

Try spares from salvaged printers. Look for "working pull from damaged unit". Of course reconfirm model and spare compatibility.

HP Laser Jet CM1312 MFP internal error 0x50

Did the Ox50 error have any additional information with it or happen only with network printing?

Frequently, this error is associated with a font being sent to the printer with the PCL 6 (printer control language). The temporary fix is to turn the printer off and then on (to clear its memory).

Next try going to the Printing preferences by right clicking on the printer in the Printers control panel. (For XP, click Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. In Win7, click Start > Devices and Printers (or Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > View Devices and Printers). Then right click on the LaserJet CM1312 icon and select the Printing Preferences. Go to the Advanced tab and change the Print Data Optimization option from Advanced to Optimize for Text and Vector.

If this doesn't work, uninstall the printer (right click again). Then reinstall the network printer using the PCL 5 universal printer driver. All of the drivers are available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3558903&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3558902&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063 . The PCL 5 driver is the last one in that section.

If the printer is connected to one computer via a USB connection and then that computer is the printer server for the others, you may need to disconnect USB cable and uninstall both the universal print driver and the regular printer driver. Then reinstall them in the opposite order.

I hope this helps. Please add additional information about the error for more assistance.

Bought a new macbook air and want to install my Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP. when connected via USB the printer prints. however if i use the set up assistant, the printer is not recognized. can not install...

Deleting the printer and then reinstalling it using the Gutenprint Drivers for the HP 1300 Series in the Add Printer pull down will allow you to print B/W. This works wirelessly over an Airport Extreme, so I assume that it will work wired. I am searching for a solution that prints in color. Amazing that HP and Apple seem content to orphan such a widely-used and relatively recent MFP.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3558902&prodNameId=3558903&swEnvOID=228&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=t2-85206-1

Firmware Update Notes:

  2. The HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP print driver software must be installed prior to using this utility.
  3. The HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP printer must be on and in a READY state as shown by the LCD display on the control panel and remain powered on during the entire firmware update process.
  4. Depending on the processor speed of your PC, the firmware update process may complete on the printer before the update status progress bar in the flash firmware update utility on the PC screen completes, this is normal.

  4. Select the appropriate CM1312 MFP driver in the dialog window. If you assigned a different name to the HP CM1312 MFP, choose the name that represents the correct printer.
  5. Click on "Send Firmware" when ready to proceed.
  6. The progress bar will begin to move to the right indicating information being transferred.
  7. DO NOT power cycle the product or the PC during this process or the product may become unstable and or unusable without further attention from HP. The flash firmware update can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Please be patient.
  8. During the product flash firmware update, the display on the product control panel will display "Printing Document - Erasing - Programming - Complete - Hewlett-Packard - Ready - Initializing - Ready". Once the download is finished the printer will be in the Ready state.

I have an HP CM1312 MFP. When printing, the colors are skewed (not lined up)??? Need help. This printer is less than a year old.

Run the HP Support Tools (they came on the CD that came with your HP printer) to "calibrate" your printer.
