Can I print with a HP Laserjet 1000 printer on a mac?

I recently switched to macs and so far it has been a trouble free ride. My only concern is that i have pre-owned an Hp laserjet 1000 printer. HP hasn't come with any drivers for mac therefore i havent been able to use it. I was wondering if there is any other way(i have used some other aplications without success) that i can make my printer work.
Thanks a lot

Sorry to say that this printer will not work in Mac OS X unless HP provides the drivers.
The main obstacle to using this printer in OS X is that you must upload the firmware to the printer every time it is turned on or connected to the computer. This is normally handled on Linux platforms by "cat"ting the firmware file to a raw usb device such as /dev/usb/lp0. We do not have such capabilities in Mac OS X.

Problem to print with HP Color LaserJet CP3525 (PCL 6) on Server

Hi,
I have a printer HP Color LaserJet CP3525 in a server, and I installed with the correct drivers for that but the printing output is strange. I'm trying to print in A4 paper, and everything is just printed in 1/4 of the page. The most strange is that the graphics are scaled to the 1/4 of the page while the text is exactly with the same size than the complete page, but all the letter are overlapping each other.
I also tried to print with a generic configuration and print in all the page but I can't print with color, just the black toner is used, so the quality is really bad.
Please, help me!

This sounds like a driver issue. You mention the printer being PCL6. Can you confirm which driver you are using when the 1/4 page prints occur. My guess is that it would be one of the Gutenprint drivers included with SL and this sort of output can occur when the printer driver is not supported by the printer.
Also, with regards to the Generic, which I assume is the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver included with SL, this by default is set to 300dpi. You can change this print quality setting to 600dpi, which will improve your output, especially the graphics. However this driver only supports black & white printing. So if you want to print in color from the Mac and the printer does not support PostScript, then you should look at installing the pxlmono package.

Note that you will need the pxlmono, Foomatic and Ghostscript packages to use this driver suite.

Laserjet 1000 printer driver for windows 8.1

Need help to locate a printer driver for my laserjet 1000. Thanks for the help...

If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

i can't attach my hp color laserjet cp1215 printer.

Adhvaresh,
"attach" is a word we usually use for plugging in cables - but I don't think that is what you mean.
If you want a driver for that model laserjet, I suggest you use the foo2hp set of drivers. Install Foomatic and ghostscript from here:

Then, install foo2HP from:

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello:
I must apologize . I should have checked here first:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
There are a couple of options:
1. Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ...

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ... Just got Windows 8. Is this something I can stop? Waste of paper and ink!!

Hi RebeccaQ,
Generally speaking, a summary page, document summary or document properties page is often generated based on a setting in the software application being used as opposed to the printer driver or menu setting. For example, in MS Word you can select to print this page with each printed document. In this case, depending on your version of Word, you can enable/disable the feature often in "Word Options", "Display", "Printing Options", "Print Document Properties".
Does this help? If not, which printer model and software application is being used when the summary is printed?

Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

Can't print with HP Color LaserJet dn2605

I haven't been able to print my HP Color LaserJet from Early 2008 Mac Pro using 10.9.4. I have attempted to print on the network and USB to no avail. I have deleted the printer, reset all printers and scanners. Once I delete or reset the printers, I always have to recycle/rebounce the printer so it can be found. Once found and I select it by the "Use" drop down, there are two(2) HP Color LaserJet 2605 profiles. I can select either one and sets-up the printer. Once I attempt to use the printer, the print job goes to the queue and few minutes later the printer starts initiating and sounds like that a paper is getting ready to move and it stops or quits. I then receive the yellow light a problem occurs, thats all the farther it goes. I have the latest printer driver update 19.9.. I also have reloaded the OS 3-4 times. Here is what I receive the print queue when it fails: "Stopped - Unable to write print data: Broken pipe".

That's sounding like a printer problem, not software.
But just in case, try deleting the HP folder from /Library/Printers, then Reset the Printing System and add the printer again.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
If that doesn't work, use a browser and connect to your router, and see if you can identify the printer in "connected devices."
(a printer that changes IP address whenever there is some change on your local net will give symptoms like that)

Thanks Your Help Would Be Very Much Appreciated

Hi maxskingsley,
If you are still unable to print from your iMac, the first thing to check wouId be that the printer and the iMac are on the same network.
Now if both devices are on the same network, next I would suggest an uninstall, and reinstall of the software for the printer. To start, I have included the document 'Uninstalling the Printer Software' http://bit.ly/1amRotF. Please click on your operating system, and follow through the steps.
When the software is uninstalled, you will need to reset the printing system of your Mac. I have included the document 'OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system' http://bit.ly/1bS2qrh. At this point you do not have to re-add the printer. After resetting the print system on the Mac, the next step will be to complete a verify and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions' http://bit.ly/1bjFnnP. For step 3, the disk that you do want to select is the hard drive. One the repair of the disk permissions is complete, please restart your Mac.
At this point you will need to reinstall the software for your printer. I have included a link to download the 'HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks' http://bit.ly/1lC0Orf. After the download has completed, please open the software, and follow through the on screen instruction for installing the printer.
The last step will be to make sure that you have all the latest updates from Apple. Please click on the Apple icon, and then Software Update. Please install all available updates.
Now please try to print from the iMac. Are you able to print successfully?
Regards.

Printing with an HP Laserjet P1009 through a time capsule

hello
I have an HP Laserjet P1009 and a macbook Pro. I can print from the macbook to the laserjet just fine if it is connected directly (USB), but I am trying to connec the printer to my time capsule and print through there. I saw a previous post with the following solution:
+Open the menue "Printer and Fax", klick "+" to add a new printer.+
+Now klick "IP"+
+Select the protocol "HP Jetdirect - Socket"+
+Adress: Enter the IP-adress of your Time Capsule (for example 192.168.178.22)+
+Change the name and location as you prefer.+
+On the last point click the menue where you can select the printer drivers and chose the driver "HP Laserjet P1005. 1.2.0.224"+
+click "OK" ... and print!+
+I tried this solution and it works. Even the hotlines (HP and Mac) told me that it will never ever work with this printer.+
+It also should work with airport extreme like this. But I have no experience with it.+
but when I try it I can't find the driver for the P1009 in that list (nor for the P1005, or any other P1000 series).
Anyone able to help? Either with this solution or another?
THANKS!

It's been a while since I installed those things. I'd take a look at the hpijs web page and be sure to follow the instructions - is it possible you have the wrong version of something? Have you selected the driver that says hpijs in its name? Maybe your printer is one of the unfortunate ones that somehow got left out of the package -- no problem, get (download) the ppd and use the driver choice "other" in Printer Setup to navigate to that ppd and choose it.
What you have described is again postscript output, meaning that the Mac is bypassing ghostscript and sending postscript to the PC to be passed to the printer.

Can't connect to my HP Laserjet 5 printer anymore

I moved into my newly built house, and after setting back up my home office, I can no longer connect to my (i know it is old) HP Laserjet 5 printer with my iMAc, running OS x 10.6.8.
I am on a small in house network, and can't even see the printer, let alone add it.
Any help please?

Mac OS X 10.6 does not support AppleTalk, so you are not going to "see" the printer in the Default Add Printer view. Instead you will need to add the printer using an IP protocol like HP Jetdirect-Socket and by entering the IP address of the printer. Have a read of this post in the Lion forum about connecting the LJ 5, in particular Matt Broughton's response.

Partial page printing with newer HP Laserjets and Xerox printers

Post Author: lazytrbar
CA Forum: .NET
I have been using Cyrstal Reports Developer 9.2 with .NET 2003 for a couple years now with no problems. We recently installed some new printers. HP Laserjet 4250 and Xerox Phaser 6300N. On both of these new printers the crystal report printout comes out as only a partial page. The area of the report printed is only about 4 inches x 4 inches in the upper left hand corner. The rest of the page is blank. It is not a margin setting on the printer. All other printouts work correctly from web, office products, etc.
If you force the 4250 to use the older 4100 printer driver the problem goes away but that is not a good long term solution. What do I need to do to get my Crystal Reports to work on these newer printers???
I appreciate any advice.

Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
make sure these packages are installed or install them
pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
rc.d cups start
To add device and install hp driver:
1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
# system-config-printer
click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
If you encounter the following error:
File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.
