Color Laserjet 4500 on Windows 7 - 64 bit Share with XP - 32 bit Need Additional 32-bit Drivers

Here's the setup:
Desktop: Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit with Color Laserjet 4500, shared, connected and working fine. The name of the driver is HP Color LaserJet 4500 PCL 5.
Laptop: Windows XP Professional - 32 bit.
No network problems. Laptop sees the printer, but can't connect without the correct additional 32-bit drivers installed on the desktop. The only drivers I've been able to find are listed here. When I try to add under host printer properties/sharing/additional drivers, none of the downloaded .inf files are accepted.
Since Windows 7 installed a perfectly good 64-bit driver, there must be a compatible 32-bit driver that cab be added to allow the XP laptop to connect to this printer- but I have not been able to find it!
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I would suggest installing the PCL6 driver on your XP machine, then on the XP machine do the following:  Start, Settings, Printers and Faxes, Add a Printer, Next, Local Printer, Next, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, Have Disk, point to the directory where the driver was installed (default C:\clj4500pcl6win2kxp).

  • Color LaserJet 4500 - permanently CALIBRATION EXECUTING

    I've had a Color LaserJet 4500 for a good few years now. It's been thoroughly reliable, and the only attention it's needed has been occasionally changing the consumable items. But now it's developed an irritating fault...
    When restarting after being in standby, or when powering up from cold, the printer starts to initialise as normal, but then reaches the final calibration stage and sits there with the message CALIBRATION EXECUTING showing, and never gets past this to the Ready state.
    It's been doing this for the last few days (luckily, I have another printer I can use). It's usually possible to get past this stage by power cycling the printer, until it finally makes it past Calibrating through to Ready. This may take a number of attempts, and if you know the 4500 and how long it takes to initialise and warm-up, you'll know that this means many minutes
    I do have a copy of the Service Manual, but can't find any information on the problem.
    Can anybody give me a clue?
    Many thanks in advance

    I plugged the external drive with Snow Leopard (it's set to always boot in 64 bit kernel), and booted up iMac with it. It started fine, but it decided to use 32 bit kernel anyway. This is iMac version 7.1 with 64 bit EFI and 4 GB of RAM. It should technically be possible to boot 64 bit kernel, but doesn't work. I won't even try my Aluminum Macbook .

  • Driver for HP Color LaserJet CP2025 for Windows 7 64 bit

    I just purchased an HP Color LaserJet CP2025  for my computer running Windows 7, 64 bit as an OS. The driver disk does not include that OS and the Driver Support page does not specify which driver to use in order to take full advantage of the automatic two sided color printing capability. Any help out there?

    I am having the same problem! Please share if you find an answer.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n Toolbox - Windows 7 64 Bit

    I'm having trouble finding the HP Toolbox.    I have a Color Laserjet 2600n.   OS is Windows 7 - 64 Bit.  When I print checks, I notice a slight shadowing of the numbers.  Thinking it may need cleaned, but I cant find my toolbox anymore and have to tried to look online.  I saw something regarding there was no toolbox for Windows 7.  Is this still the case?  When I print on paper everything looks fine.  Also, anything I print that has red in it doesnt not print very well.  This has been a problem for several years.   I had XP until March 2013 and then got a new computer.  Before the computer switch I cleaned and aligned the printer several times, but still no red print.

  • Hp color laserjet 2025 and windows 7

    Subject
     I have two hp color laserjets.  Toolbox cannot be installed with windows 7 pro.  Toolbox worked well with windows xp pro. How can I determine amount of remaining color toner and other necessary information without toolbox.  There is no toolbox upgrade on the hp website. 

    The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
    You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

  • Automatic Duplex Printing not working on HP Color LaserJet 3600DN in Windows 7. It worked before.

    I have an HP color laserjet 3600 DN on Windows 7.  This computer came w/ Windows Vista and a 3600DN driver was installed and the computer was upgraded to Windows 7.  The printer did automatic duplex printing.
    At one point, my computer indicated that it could no longer find the printer.  In an effort to solve this problem, I uninstalled the printer. When I tried to reinstall the printer the computer could not find the driver. At that point I tried to download a windows 7 CLJ 3600 DN driver.  Since HP doesn't provide this driver for Windows 7, I tried to download the Windows Vista driver for 3600DN.
    However, when I go to the appropriate webpage by following the links, only drivers for Color Laserjet 3600 are listed (no 3600DN drivers). 
    As far we can tell it only allows Manual Duplex printing (no automatic duplex printing).  Clicking the "Two Sided Duplex Printing" option is there but only works when the "print on both sides (Manual)" is set on the Finishing page.  If manual is turned off, then it becomes single sided.
    Can I get a driver that will allow me to do automatic duplex printing on on my HP CLJ 3600 DN using Windows 7?

    How did you replave the duplex belt? How to deassemble the backside of a officejet and click the new belt on? I can't see nor do it y self

  • Color LaserJet 2500N on Windows 7

    I recently upgraded from WinXP Pro to Win7 Pro.  The driver for the Color LaserJet 2500 installed
    and the printer is working.  BUT....I can only print in Black and White, not in color.  I hooked up the
    printer to a different machine still running XP and it prints in color fine.  So the issue is definitely the
    Win7 driver.  I looked in HP support but couldn't find a Win7 specific driver is there one, or is there
    some work around ?
    Jay

    We had the same problem at my office today. Remove your printer from your computer printer list. Then choose add printer, choose windows update to update list of printers. Select "HP 2500C Series Printer", that worked for us. We now have color. Hope that helps.

  • Drivers for color laserjet 5m printer (windows XP)

    My computer crashed and burned - had to reinstall Windows XP - can't find right drivers on HP website for my Color laserjet 5  (c30991)   Any suggestions on were to go?

    The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
    Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
    Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
    As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

I cheked the network and sharing. I checked the printer works perfectly on Win 7 but not on my hp Win8.

    Hello there,
    To get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since your product is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums - Printers - LaserJet.

  • Trying to access Windows 2003 Server share with Mac OS 9.04

    Hi
    I cannot connect to a Windows 2003 Server share on my 2003 domain. I can access the share with my MacBook (10.4.9) & my G4. I have File Services for Mac installed & can ping the server from all OS 9 Mac.
    Can anyone give me some tips?
    MacBook     Administrator

    How are you trying to connect to the server? Via AppleTalk or IP? (What utility are you using to ping the server from the Mac OS 9 machine?) Since you're not providing any information about error messages you're receiving or the symptoms of your problem I can only provide the following information.
    If you're selecting the server from a list in the Chooser and clicking the OK button then the connection should switch to IP automatically. Make sure your Mac has TCP/IP enabled and is receiving an IP address or that you have an appropriate IP address hard-coded. You can try forcing an IP connection by entering the IP address or DNS name of the server in the Chooser rather than selecting it from the list in the Chooser.
    Or you can try forcing an AppleTalk connection by selecting the server in the Chooser and holding down the Option key as you click the Connect button. If you're asked to enter your name and password then you're communicating properly with the server. This is, however, a very slow connection compared to IP.
    Finally, be sure you update to the latest version of Mac OS 9, which is 9.2.2 <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288>.
