Topic: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn

I have the HP Color LJ 2605dn printer. It came with a piece of software called HP ToolboxFX. This software allows you to make changes to the printer rather that use the control pannel on the printer. If I try an use this software the computer makes an attempt to load the software but nothing happens. Is anyone using this particular printer or software? Any halp would be appreciated. You may e-mail me directly if you wish.

I setup a HP LJ 2450 at work and had  a similar problem.  After some trail and error I found out that the winXP firewall was the blame!  In my case the printer used the IP addr. 192.168.16.14.  So I had to create an exception in the XP firewall for that address.  That fixed it!

hope that works for you,
John

Well that could be it. But I installed the software on my laptop and it worked fine. I think computers do stuff like this so they can watch up beat our brains trying to figure it out. Well guess I uninstall and then reinstall the software and see that happens. I'm thinking it may have had something to to with my anti-virus software.
