8.1 Not Connecting to HP laserjet 1000 series printer

The headline says it all. I upgraded with new software to the 8.1 and now can not connect to my favorite printer, an HP laserjet 1000. I need some really specific, step-by-step help and direction about how to fix this issue. I can find
my away pretty well on a computer but I'm not the most tech savvy with lingo.
I'm not really certain how to get an answer once I submit this question??
Thanks

I'm trying to install an HP LaserJet 1000 series printer so all systems on my network can access it.

Topography: All systems are Windows XP. Wireless network. Printer is physically attached to one of the XP systems, and printing from that system works as expected. Trying to add this printer via the "Add Printer" fails.
In "Add Printer", selecting "A Network Printer, or a printer attached to another computer"; press "Next"
On "Next" panel, selected "Browse for a printer", press "next"
On "Next panel", this printer I am looking for "\\host\printername" appears (along with other printers attached to other hosts"; press "Next"
On "Next panel", get popup "You are about to connect to a printer on host, which will automatically installa print driver on your machine. Printer drivers may contain viruses or scripts that can be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that the computer sharing this printer is trustworthy. Would you like to continue?"
Select "yes". Get a popup "The server for the "hp Laser Jet 1000" printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator (that's me) or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
Select "OK". Get a popup box titled "File needed: printer driver INF for hp LaserJet 1000" Box has input for typing the path where the file is located."
And ... I'm stuck. :-( I have no idea what it's looking for, or where it should be found.
The printer itself was a hand-me-down, so it's not like there's any real $$ involved in this; and I could always instll the printer directly on the system that will be using it most, but I'd really like to have it on my network. Did not receive any original CDs or publications. The installation file that I used, which I presume installed the driver was down loaded from this site, filename "lj1000hostbased-en-exe"
Any good advice on how to get this printer (it's a VERY nice printer, by the way ... prints wonderfully from the host it's actually attached to) onto my network for remote printing?
Thanks, in advance!
Update w/ additional possibly useful information: The HP Print and Scan Doctor does NOT see this printer at all. however the add printer dialog does. I don't know if that's useful or not, but it is what it is.
Thanks in advance again!

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Printer driver for an HP LaserJet 1000 series for use with Windows 7

The CD ROM HP LaserJet 1000 series printer driver is not recognized by my new Windows 7 PC. So the printer does not work. I've looked on the HP web site for compatible drives and get the hint that a Vista driver would work. Can someone please confirm if this possible and how this is accomplished? Thanks.

Where did you find a hint that Vista drivers would work? This page says:
Your LaserJet model is not supported in Windows 7.
For more information regarding upgrade programs and new product information, please visit the HP Trade-In/Trade Up website at www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_flash.html or directly from HP at www.hp.com .
Additionally, this page says the Laserjet 1000 is not supported in Vista.
If you are using the 32 bit version of Windows 7 it may be possible to download the XP drivers here and install them.

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print?

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson 835 Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print? I have followed all the instructions from Epson about upgrading, etc. but it is very frustrating when I have to repeatedly try to print. Epson says talk to Apple???

Try checking thru these, maybe some help.

How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac running system 10.7

How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac (system 10.7.5) ?

Ok, I too have been having a time with hooking up the Great HP 5000 GN to my new 2013 MacPro desktop computer.
And I have tried everthing. Excep This, Last night I decided to treat it as a brand new printer, right out of the box.
I turned it off, (the rocker switch) and unpluged everthing to it and left it overnight.
This morning I plug it in. In this order, the Ethernet Cable from the Xfinity Modem / Router. Then the Power Cord,
Then turned it on ( the rocker switch). And let it go through the initaliting process.
Then at the printer panel on the printer, I printed out a fresh Configuration. I noticed right away the IP Address was different than the one I had been trying to use.
Then I went into the System Preferences / Printers & Scanners. Held down the Control Key with with the curser in the
big area where the Printers/Scanners are listed and clicked on it to reset the items inside that area. To clean everthing out.
Then clicked the IP ikon and put the NEW IP Number in the address space.
BINGO !!! Spacs started to fill up! And I hit the Add Button.
I opened Illustrator and pulled up a file and went through the paces to print. BINGO ! The printer went into action before
I took my finger off the button!
This is the first time I have ever posted anything. But I just had to tell y'all who have had the same trouble as I have.
So now, you can have Happy Holidays with your MacPro OS X 10.10.1 and the HP 5000 series

Hp laserjet 1005 series printer drivers

hp laserjet 1005 series printer drivers

This worked for me in windows 7 professional 32bit SP1. Fresh install. I like my printer, I have used it for many years under both linux and windows and I had no intention of throwing it away. I am pleased I have found a way to make it work, I would have surely never bought HP again otherwise.
How to make a HP LaserJet 1005 series work in windows 7 32bit
1. download the printer driver HP LaserJet 1005 Host Based Driver v 5.51.2103.0 released 6 Oct 2003
Right now it can be found here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?cc=us&prodNameId=214539&prodSerie...
It is named lj1005hostbased-en.exe - md5sum 428274e8060e830aeaf1acf06f10a398
2. Extract the printer driver to a folder. (It is a winzip self-extract executable)
3. Go to the printers page and "Add a new printer". It will ask you to select a port, but not an USB because USB devices are automatically detected. Scroll down and select "Virtual USB port" (not sure about the naming but you'll find it)
4. In the installation of this virtual-usb connected printer you can say "I have the driver". Click on the button, point the printer dialog to the driver folder and select the .INF file in the directory (there are two, I used the first one). You will successfully install a second printer named "HP Laserjet 1005 series"
5. Now right click the real printer, which has the same name but has the warning triangle because it needs "troubleshooting" - it has no associated driver. Select Troubleshoot. It will look for drivers. Skip looking online it is just a waste of time. NOW IT WILL FIND THE DRIVER YOU INSTALLED FOR THE VIRTUAL PRINTER. CLick OK.
6. The danger triangle disappears, the virtual-usb printer with the same name disappears and you are lef with a printer named HP Laserjet 1005 series which... works!
Cheers.

Unable to print to HP LaserJet 1000 via Print Server

I have a HP LaserJet 1000, TP-Link TL-PS110U (USB, Ethernet Print Server), TP-Link Modem Router (TD-W8961ND - 300Mbs Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router)
Operating System: Vista Home Edition
I can ping the Print Server (IP address: 192.168.1.110) from the laptop wirelessly.
I can print directly to the printer via the laptop when connected via the USB cable.
However, I get an error message in the job queue when trying to print wirelessly. I have contacted TP-Link for their input, however, they do not seem to be able to resolve the problem.
Can you please confirm is there is a compatibility issue. If it is compatible, could you please suggest how this should be set up?
(By the way, when I tried to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor, I got a 403 error message from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/p...
Kind regards
Jools1964

Hi Jools1964,
The HP Laserjet 1000 is an Host-Based printer, as listed on TP-Link's compatibility guide the print server only support the PCL or Post-Script printing languages, therefore the HP Laserjet 1000 is incompatible wit the print server:
http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/TL-PS110U_Compatibility_List_2.pdf
PCL and PS are supported by our print servers. If the printer is not on the list, please check the
printing language by yourself. If it is PCL or PS, it should be compatible with our print server. If
not, it is more probably incompatible.
As you may find listed within the printer specification it is a Host-Based printer:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/learnUseDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=45674...
Printer languages: Windows host-based printer command language

Hp laserjet 1000 series for windows 7

friend, I had a question for you, I have an HP LaserJet 1000 printer series but now I get a new computer with Windows 7, but do I not found hp 1000 printer drivers, pls send me the link or drivers ready

Yes - you can use the Laserjet 1000 with Windows 7. (I have two Windows 7 PCs printing to my LJ 1000).
Case 1 - (Easiest case) If your Windows 7 installation is 32-bit (How to check this)
Solution: Provided by user jriv9 in this discussion
use HP LJ1000 XP HostBased Driver
Just installed it and it works perfectly.
1. exe extracts to a directory of your choice.
2. right click on printer -> properties -> update driver
3. select to search in a specific location and select dir from step one.
Case 2 - If your Windows 7 is 64-bit and you have another PC on your network running Windows 32-bit (XP, Vista or 7)
Solution provided by user Los15 on this forum page. I have tried this and it works. I had to make one change - the port name had to be \\Computer Name\hp Laserjet 1000 DOS
Case 3 - If your Windows 7 is 64-bit and you have no other PC.
You can install the XP driver in XP Mode, and then install the XP driver as for a 32-bit machine.
Solution given by user erpp on this forum page.
Alternative
On same forum page as the XP Mode solution, another solution is given, using another piece of software called PDF Creator.
I'd just like to add my thanks to everyone who has contributed those solutions above. The LJ 1000 is a marvellous workhorse of a printer - the engineers who built it did a good job. It's too bad HP didn't follow their lead and produce 64-bit drivers.

Connecting a Canon Pixma IP3500 series printer to iMac

I am having trouble connecting my canon iP3500 series printer to my iMac (intel-based). I have installed the cd and my iMac will not recognize the printer. My usb ports are built into my computer so I can not connect the printer through a wired connection. I am connected to the internet wirelessly through an Airport Extreme connection. Does anyone know how to connect my printer so my iMac will recognize it??

One early question: Did you follow the instructions included with the printer??? From your brief post it certain doesn't sound like it. Not being critical; however, the many printers that I have installed with various computers, including 3 different Macs, always had step by step instructions which were very important to follow in the order that was given. For example, typically the printer itself is unpacked and set up with print/ink cartridges etc; then, the CD that was supplied with the printer is used to install software to the Mac; at some point in the CD installation process, the software will say to connect the printer to the computer usually via USB cable. This is a critical step, connecting the printer's USB port to the computer iMac's USB port, to enable the computer to communicate and configure the printer. This step is when the printer is installed in the computer hardware list. So, I would suggest that you get the instructions and proceed step by step. I don't have a clue what you mean when you say, "My usb ports are built into my computer so I can not connect the printer through a wired connection." What? All USB ports are "built into" computers! That's exactly how you do connect to the printer: running the USB cable from the computer port to the printer port. Hope this helps, Kristin.

New router not connecting to C7280 All-In-One Printer

I just had to install a new router. Now the printer which has an ethernet cable is not working. I need to change the IP Address manually (I think). Please walk me through the process.

In this link (message 4) I describe step-by-step instructions on how to setup a static IP but you may just want to go into the menu of the printer and restore network defaults first and see if will automatically connect after that. You may also have to use a USB cord (some models differ in their setup process).
Let me know if that works or not. Good luck!

Can't use Windows Vista to print from hp laserjet 1000 series

I have downloaded the right printer driver, and I have also tried the 6p printer driver download. The HP website says Vista is incompatible with this printer. What now? Thank for any suggestions.

yes, the drivers you downloaded don't work on certain systems and not sure why.
however, buying/acquiring the hub below you will solve a similar problem i had:
Belkin F5U021 USB Hub
connect the above usb hub w/power adaptor between the hp1000 and the computer with vista on it and they will begin communicating like ol' friends.
why the hub works is beyond my knowledge. but if i were to take a guess, the hub regulates the data speed between the fast vista usb data speed for the slower hp1000 usb speed.
i had bought the hub a long time ago when usb 1.0 was big time. but then put it away when everything jumped to usb 2.0 in winxp. i think that vista jumped to beyond 2.1 or something, which made many old slower usb devices incompatiable.
but regardless of how or why, this is the only hub that makes IT WORK - buy it !!!

Have a HP3600 Series Laserjet that has started to show a definite column (about 1/2" wide) of incorrect colour down the lefthand side of the page. Narrowed it down to the Magenta Cartridge after printing a diagnostics page. Have replaced the Magenta Cartridge after doing calibrations and diagnostics and have also now replaced the Fuser Kit. Still the same - has anyone any suggestions?
