Can't print on Windows 8 with Color Laserjet 1600

I installed DOT4x64.msi on my new HP Windows 8 laptop, since that seems to be the only current way to hook up my Color Laserjet 1600. The printer now shows in the "Devices & Printers" section of the control panel. But when I try to print something, I get an error message that says I can't print to that printer. I have spent nearly an hour on the phone with HP support with no resolution - in fact, after all this time, was told "this department doesn't support this printer!!!. Any ideas on a solution here? Thanks!
PS - I originally posted on a different board, but am hoping someone here can help.
This question was solved.

Printing to Windows HP Color Laserjet 1500L

I have just set up my macbook to print to my Lexmark E232 over my widows network. It works great.
So I followed a similar approach for my HP Color Lasejet 1500L. However when I get to the final step where you choose the actual printer Model (after slecting HP) I find the HP Color Laserjet 1500L isnt listed. I have tried some of the other ones but nothing prints.All the steps windows printing-network neiborhood-etc are fine.
Note I have insalled the driver etc for the HP Color Laserjet 1500L to work via USB and this works no probs.
I tried other in the drop down menu but couldnt find out where the driver for the Hp 1500 was located.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:

then, install the foo2oak driver:

Can't print from Windows with Parallels off MacBookPro

I'm printing to a new HP Photosmart C4100, of course the Mac
side prints just fine. I've enabled print sharing on both sides.
The Windows VM sees the printer and the "sharing hand" appears
under the printer icon. I am not on a network, just the MacBookPro
and the printer connected to a USB port.
When I try and print out of Windows, the document goes into
the printing que and just sits there, the printing que says its "ready".
Can't help but think I've just got a setting wrong.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you community.

Multiple duplicate prints via apple airport and bonjour printer driver on HP Color Laserjet 1600

Please advise if this request will incur any costs as I have exhausted all self-help resources and articles in your knowledge base. Nothing applies to my issue. I used to be able to use this printer via USB or wireless network using apple airport base station and bonjour printer driver. When my company ugraded to Windows 7, USB seems to work ok and wireless under same setup works too, but each page prints out many duplicates >40 duplicates when in wireless state. I am also trying to print from my IPAD and this does not seem to work at all. If you tell me this printer will not perform, please just be honest and let me know. I don't mind buying another printer if needed but don't want to incur more high level cartridge costs (bought many due to duplicate issue) and could afford the new printer instead. Deciding between brother or hp depending on usable feedback here. Using Lenovo T410 for all that matters...Thank you, Marc

Unfortunately, without knowing the model of the printer I wont be able to let you know too much information on the issue or how to resolve it. Also, when you upgrade your OS you often have to update the programs you are using, I would recommend uninstalling the printer and using the software available on http://goo.gl/7R6HT.
Let me know Marc!

HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

Printing photos with Color Laserjet CM1312. Need proper printing software.

I'm trying to print photos from my Color Laserjet CM1312 multi-function printer.
I used to have a Photosmart inkjet, and tried to use the photo-printing softthat came with that printer, as I really like it. But that must have been designed just for ink-jet printers because the printouts end up way too heavy on ink density, to the point that some of the ink is actually scraped off during the printing.
What software should I be using for the color laserjet?
I don't need editing tools as I have Photoshop ... just printing tools.

OK here am I again.
as mentioned before I created an bogus printer with:
lpadmin -p test -v file:/dev/null
verified the presence of the printer;
lpstat -p
$ lpstat -p
printer Color_LaserJet_cp1515n disabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:55:59 PM BRST -

printer test is idle. enabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:54:57 PM BRST
At first "test" printer was disabled for an uknown reason.
tried to use lpadmin -p test to enable the printer as described on the previusly mentioned web site, but couldn't get to enable printer "test". After reading alittle more on the internet I found the command cupsenable <printer> and indeed it changed the printer status.
tried to print;
echo test | lp -d test
result:
$ echo test | lp -d test
lp: Destination "test" is not accepting jobs.
I tried to change the condition of the Color laser printer but did not made any difference with the cups command.
Conclusion: how can I modify this status to make the printer accept jobs?

PC doesn't communicate with HP Color Laserjet 1600

Hi, my Laserjet 1600 printer worked fine with my old pc. Now i have a new pc with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and somehow it can't communicate with my printer. Printer does work. cable isn't broken. Driver won't install either. What can be the problem? I also tried the HP universal printing PCL 5

Hi Reen1604,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP Laserjet 1600 is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

HP Color Laserjet 1600 with OSX 10.6.8

How to install and print with an HP Color laserjet 1600, OS X 10.6.8? I read to select HP 2600 Color Laserjet, but when adding a printer it won't accept it.

Hi @elliebee,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you are having trouble installing your HP ENVY 5660 to your Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I am happy to look into this for you!
According to this printer's specifications, Printer Specifications for the HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640, and Officejet 5740 and 8040 e-All-in-One Pr.... The minimum system requirements for Mac is version Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
However, as a workaround since there is no HP software, there is a driver directly through Apple that you can use. HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X. This will allow for printing and scanning.
To scan without HP software, please see this guide, Scan from OS X v10.7 Lion With the Full Feature HP Software for HP Multifunction Printers. Even though it says for 10.7 this will work on 10.6.8 as well. Select Scan without HP software, scroll down and you will see three methods.
Otherwise, you might be able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7. You will have to contact Apple Support, to find out.
Hope this information is what you are looking for, and have a great day!

Driver for HP Color Laserjet 1600 Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

When will a driver be made available for the HP Color Laserjet 1600 for Windows 10 64 bit? It printed fine with Windows 8.1, but since the updgrade to Windows 10 it will not print at all. Thanks, JN

I have answered my own question or found a temporary fix until an official driver is released. After a few hits and misses with different HP Color Laserjet Drivers, I downloaded the HP LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver for Windows 8 and Higher (64-bit) located at the below link. It is listed for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 Printer but it worked for the HP Color Laserjet 1600 as well. Hope this will help someone. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=315850&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192 Thanks, JN

HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer

I really love my HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer but haven't been able to successfully install it in my brand new MacBook Air 1.7 despite several attempts.
I have downloaded the correct Firmware Upgrade 20120928 v2.4 from HP Drivers web page. Unlocked RFU to ON position and installed the firmware. Added HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer via USB, as required and my MacBook correctly identifies it as such. Though the driver I have chosen is HP Color LaserJet 2605 since the one for 1600 is not available in the database. The printer responds positively during the upgrade but later does not print. I can see the print command being transmitted to the printer but it stays dead.
Please help and let me know stepwise how to do it correctly.

Just upgraded my printer to HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw.... Problem solved.

Can't print from Windows....

Using Windows 7 over Parallels Desktop, I can't print from Windows applications....
The driver was download, but Windows keep asking to connect printer.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.

Can i print a spreadsheet with formulas?

Can I print a spreadsheet with formulas instead of the product of the formula?

As Wayne wrote, you may print the document with the list of formulas but sometimes I use an other scheme.
(a) duplicate the document
(b) select the entire table(s)
(c) apply the format 'Text'
(d) ajust cells size to display the entire formulas
