Connecting HP 4000 Laserjet PCL 6 to 64-bit Windows 7 PC

Having trouble connecting my older hp laserjet 4000 PCL 6 printer to my Windows 7 64-bit PC
Have tried going to hp's website, downloading v5.2.6 driver "HP universal print driver for Windows PCL6 x64" and installed it on my box to port LPT1. Can't get it to print anything even - the test page.
Everytime I try to troubleshoot in the Printers and Devices screen, it cannot resolve even though the Troubleshoot-er claims it has resolved the issue.
I've already installed (automatically by Win 7) the printer using PCL 5, but for some strange reason using that driver, it does not print more than 1 copy of anything from MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, etc. I thought to try installing the PCL 6 driver for the printer, as I never had that single copy only problem with the PCL 6 driver when I had my old Win XP Pro box.

Get yourself a parallel to usb adapter that is Windows 7 64-bit compatible.
The 4L driver comes with Windows 7.

Connecting an hp laserjet 2000 to windows 8 usb port

Hi, and thanks in advance to any and all who can answer my question.
I am in the process of upgrading to an new Windows 8 desktop PC that only has USB ports. I have an HP Laserjet 4000 printer that has a large parallel printer port that currently connects with a parallel printer cable to my existing Windows XP (upgraded to 7 PC.) According to all the info I can find the printer should be compatable with windows 8 but I cannot find out what kind of a connection cable I need. Will a simple Parallel to USB cable work or do I need something specific to the HP Laserjet 4000?
Thanks again for any help.

Hello,
I have connected those printers to my Macs with OS X using a USB to Parallel printer cable (like the one you propose). It worked just fine.
I did have to download and install the Gimp-Print printer drivers and set those up (since the 4si doesn't have any Mac drivers). So, you may need to get the free Gimp-Print package installed as well.
But, yes, the USB to Parallel cable is all you need for making the connection. The cable does not require any drivers. Just plug it in, and connect the printer to the computer. Then, set-out configuring the printer drivers to talk with your printer.
You can get the Gimp-Print package at:

I hope this helps.

I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all? I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one. I did not think there could be a difference.
Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
How to proceed???
I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI. Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870. That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
Thanks,
Bill

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

How do I connect my HP Laserjet 1102w directly to a Linksys AE3500 wireless router with USB option?

I am trying to connect an HP Laserjet 1102w directly to an HP desktop model a172n with Windows Vista Home Premium OS (32 bit) through a new Linksys AE3500 dual band wireless router which has a USB port for a direct connection. The desktop can see the wireless router but not the printer.
Is there a work around, a printer installer update, or some other solution that enables me to connect the desktop to the printer via the USB connection on the wireless router? I need to have one wireless laptop and one non-wireless desk computer able to use the one printer.
Thanks for any assistance!

Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports?

My usb port on my Laserjet P4015n no longer works and I am unable to connect this printer to my network router because it's in a different room. Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports? Of so, how would I go about making this connection? Will I need to install ethernet drivers for this to work?
Thanks,
Greg

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

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

LaserJet 4200 won't collate in Windows 7 32 bit

Love my sturdy LaserJet 4200. But now that the computer is upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, we can't get it to collate. Many computer savvy people have worked on it and no one can solve it, and unfortunately this is a pretty important issue to us. It looks like other people in this forum have collating issues and no one seems to have been able to come up with a solution.
Do we need a driver update? I don't think so, but... I have seen the recommended steps for using Windows Update to get a driver. There are many for 4200 but they all seem to have a date of 2006 (pre-Windows 7). I am currently using driver HP LaserJet 4200/4300 PCL6.
Are there any other suggestions? Or is this just a bug we have to cope with/consider getting a new printer? Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem with a LJ 4200 installed on Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the Universal Print Driver for PCL5 from HP at: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=84030&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4132.
Download the PCL5 driver (not the PCL6) and save the file to a folder where you can find it quickly.
Then:
1) Turn your printer ON (make sure it is connected to the PC) and open Control Panel in Windows;
2) Click on "Add Printer"
3) When the Add Printer window opens - do nothing until the search completes - then DO NOT select any of the printers in the "Select a Printer" box - instead, click on the prompt at the bottom of the window that says "The printer that I wanted isn't listed" - this will open a window titled "Find a Printer by other Options" - Select the last option at the bottom of this window titled "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings" and then hit NEXT.
4) A new window opens titled "Choose a Printer Port" - select the port where you printer is connected and hit NEXT.
5) A new window opens titled "Install the Print Driver" - DO NOT chose any of the printers listed, instead click on the HAVE DISK button.
6) An "Install From Disk" window will open - at the bottom if this window where it says: "Copy Manufacturer's files from" click on BROWSE - then navigate to the folder where you save the PCL5 Driver you downloaded and click on the file name - it should highlight a file in the "File Name:" box at the bottom of the window - mine was named: hpbuio120l.inf (if not just open the folder and select the driver named: hpbuio120l.inf)
7) After you select the driver file in the step above, hit OPEN - the INSTALL FROM DISK window will open - Click on OK and the driver will install the new Printer.
Once the new printer is installed - go to Control Panel, open Devices and Printers, right click on the new Printer (make sure it is Set As Default) then from the same Right Click Menu select "Printer Properties" and scroll down to "Mopier Mode" and make sure it is disabled.
You should now be able to print collated copies from the LJ 4200 without any problem whatsoever. Good luck.

HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).

I lost my original CD-Driver and I tried to download the CD-Driver on HP website but it doesn't work when I click printing. It seems that my HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).
Can anyone give me a link that works for installing driver for HP Laserjet P1006 for Windows 7 (64-bit)?
Thanks for helping!

Hi @achieverone ,
I can help you with finding the drivers for the Laserjet P1006.
Just to clarify, you were able to install the printer software, but it just isn't printing correct?
Here are the two drivers available for Windows 7 64 bit.
HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver.
HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1500 Printer Series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Open and close the lid five times quickly. It should print off a page with black lines on it.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

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.
