Unable to get an HP Laserjet 1200 printer set up over my network. Running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I can see then printer when browsing network for printer but Windows insists on searching Windows Update, striking out and when browsing for other files I can't get any other HP *.inf files (both 32 & 64bit) I downloaded to take without crashing with errors. I connected the printer directly to my PC with a USB cable and Windows instantly recognized it and installed a driver for it. But still can't connect with it's hooked up on another workstation. Yes, it's set up for sharing on the other network PC.
I need to share my HP LaserJet 1200 printer with my other computer running XP Home SP3 x86.
I can get my printer shared, but with x64 drivers, when I click additional drivers for x86, I get asked for x86 Printer Drivers. I got those already, but then it asks for Windows media (x86). Do I need to get the Windows 7 x86 7232 ISO for those files? or the XP Home x86 CD? Read more at forums...
I have recently started using Win 7 on a Toshiba laptop (4gig Ram, i5 processor) but have been unable to connect with the HP Laserjet 1200. I have followed the threads provided in this forum but am unable to print to the 1200. The printer is connected via a USB port. The printer/USB port is recognized as USB printing support. I have previously loaded the HP laserjet 1200 PCL5 driver and have now tried loading the HP Universal Printing PCL6 driver. In both situations the printer driver is seen under the printers/fax (in the Devices/Printers page) as either the Laserjet 1200 PCL5 or the HP PCL6.
I can not install the printer driver if hp laserjet 1200 connected with win 7 32 bit system via usb windows is not able to automatically install it but it shows the icon of hp laserjet 1200 in devices and printers folder, each time i plug it in usb port. I tried all the universal print drivers pcl5 and pcl6 available at hp website but worthless.
I was just given a Epson Stylus Pro 7000 wide format printer and was wondering how would I set this up as a network printer. Epson stopped updating it's drivers and does not offer a driver for W7 and I've tried in vain to load VPN XP mode without success. I am using an older laptop to drive the printer but it's painfully slow.
The XP driver for this was pretty good for a typical cumbersome driver from HP. The Vista/Windows 7 driver works minimally and the control panels look great but:
1. Normal vs. Fastdraft print selection results in terrible low density quality.
I have an old HP laserjet, with parallel socket, and have just bought a new computer with only USB sockets. Bought a suitable lead, RS232 to USB, and initially the printer worked OK, but intermittently
I had trouble finding how to get my HP Laserjet 4 printer to work in Windows 7.
My research indicates it would run in Vista using built in drivers, but I didn't have or use Vista. I also tried driversguide, and HP site just says "supported"
When I used one of the available earleir drivers I always get the error message:
"W2 INVALID PERS"
OK Solved it now. Lots of drivers in a package for HP laserjets. Go to the Windows Update page and download the package; here: Microsoft Update Catalog
Suddenly (two years since Windows 7 was installed), the printer will not print a document. However, printer (H-P Laser 6P) WILL print test page. The steps I followed are:
HP have updated their drivers for Windows 7 (32 & 64bit). I run the desktop with Windows 7 64 bit with the 1022 connected. The laptop runs Windows 7 32 bit.
Everything prints fine from the Desktop which the 1022 is connected to via USB. The laptop can see the 1022 but printing a test page from the laptop simply doesn't happen. You can see the test file in the 1022 print queue but that's it so obviously it's getting across the wi-fi network. Both are members of the homegroup with everything enabled.
Rebooting the Desktop back into Win XP (32bit) and everything prints just fine to the printer from the laptop.
I am connecting a laptop running Windows 7 64bits to a HP printer LaserJet 2100 on a Win NT server through work-group network. Here are my problems.
1) Problem when connecting Wireless to the network
--All other computers (running XP & 98s) are connected through hub to router to the server.
--This laptop is the only one connecting wirelessly right now.
--Laptop can not see any computers in the same network However can connect Online.(since can't see other computers thus can't connect to printers.)
Q: how can I make them see/connect to each other?
2) Problem when connecting via LAN to the network
--Laptop now can see all the computers in the network and can access the files
--However when trying to ADD Printer from network still unsuccessful. Here is what I did:
Device & Settings --> ADD Printer --> ADD a network printer --> (found the printer on network and clicked on NEXT) >> Driver Not Found
Then I tried to locate the driver manually to the driver downloaded from HP's site which updated recently in Dec. Here is the link still can not find the right .INF file to install.
It seems the Laptop doesn't know what exact .INF file it is looking for and thus failed to install.
Q: How to Connecting Windows 7 to HP LaserJet 2100 on Win NT ?
Any reply/answers to both Scenarios would be greatly appreciated. (this issue troubled me for a while now would really like to have some solution)..
My win 7 machine having crashed yet again and had a trip to the repairers, I have lost the driver, which I remember spending about a month to try and get it going, as HP no longer supports this perfectly good laser. I see no reason to junk a perfectly good printer ( especially as I still have thrre new toner cartridges - not cheap!)
This printer is a HP Laserjet 2600n. Tryed my software no good, worked fine under XP and Vista.Anyone else have problem installing? How did you get it to work I'm frustrated been fighting this since yesterday. HP has no windows 7 driver for 2600n Also this printer is not listed on the add printer where you install your printer and have to pic it off thier list.
I have an HP Laserjet 2300 Series PCL6 printer connected directly to a Windows XP machine. On the same network, I have a new machine running Windows 7. I want to share the printer over the network.
Question: Am I wasting my time trying to get this to work?
FYI, Windows 7 sees the shared printer but when it attempts to connect in the "Add a Printer" dialog, it gives me a "No driver found" alert. I downloaded the (hopefully) appropriate Windows 7 printer driver (*) from the HP site and installed it on my Windows 7 machine, but when I try to connect, I still get "No driver found."
(*) HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64
i have recently used windows 7 but my HP LASERJET 1000 printer is not working, my driver is not supported, what can i do? is any new driver available now for my printer to work on WINDOWS 7?
I am running Windows 7 Professional Connected to an HP Laserjet 1020. I am trying to share this printer with network printers as of now file sharing works seamlessly on vista, and other windows 7 machines.
On windows 7 machine an error pops up when trying to connect to printer
On vista machine printer is connected however when jobs are sent to the printer it sits in the queue until restart.
I have had a HP 5L for years. Love it, it runs like a tank and the ink is cheep. However I have always had driver problems. When I got XP it would print on the upper 3/4 of the page on one sheet and the lower part on a second sheet. I read that if you used an Epson driver (I don't remember which one) it would work and sure enough it did. Now I have Windows 7 which has a built in driver for the 5L. It works fine with Word but when i print from the web or my emails it splits the page the same way as it did on XP (top 3/4 of the page on first sheet off paper and the bottom 1/4 on a second sheet of paper.)
