CUPS + LaserJet 1012 problem

Hi, all!
I have almost the same problem as in this post, but with HP LaserJet 1012. The following info is present on Information tab of Control Center->Printers:
State: Processing... (accepting jobs)
URI: ipp://localhost.localdomain:631/printers/hp_LaserJet_1012
Device: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1012?serial=00CNFD165436
Model: HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs
I tried two drivers: 1012 hpijs and LaserJet 1012 pxl1010 - none of them helped.
When i send test page to printer, nothing happens. In job status window there are the following fields: job-printer-state-message="open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...", job-printer-state-reasons="none". Cups ver. 1.3.5-1, hplip ver. 2.7.10-1.
What can be done to allow printing with HP Laserjet 1012?

I'm probably the most inexperienced person here, but from this website:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_print … erJet_1012
it appears that the 1012 isn't fully supported or it just doesn't work like it should. I quote from their website:
Unfortunately, the new LaserJet 1010/1012 series seems not to be absolutely compatible with older HP printers or it has a firmware bug. Sometimes it happens that the printer stops working and reports the error "Unsupported Personality: PCL". It only continues working when one kills the job and power-cycles the printer.
Anyways, I'm not sure it will work until someone does some tinkering with the drivers.
Probably not the most helpful post, but I just wanted to increase my post count.
Best of luck!

HP LaserJet 1012 won't print in Leopard

I have a HP LaserJet 1012 (probably 3 or so years old) connected to my iMac (2.16GHz 20") via USB ... it worked like a champ under 10.4 and still works like a champ under Windows XP (via BootCamp) ... but it seems as soon as I moved to Leopard, the printer keeps hanging ... in the printer's status box it hangs on "Opening printer connection" ... then after some time it seems to timeout and the print job registers "stopped" in the que. I don't know what I do different, but every once in a while it prints (I try to delete que items, I even delete the printer and re-add it ... the computer sees it and recognizes it as a 1012 when I add the printer ... so I can't imagine it is a connection problem)
Thanks for any assist!
V/R, Jay

I contacted HP tech support and they emailed me a fix. My printer has been working fine for the last 24 hours and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Here is what they sent me:
At this point is having issue of incompatibility regarding the driver of some printers and the Software of Leopard. But the driver will be on the HP Web side as soon as our technicians can put it there .
In the meantime you can try this:
Uninstall
Open your hard drive and look for Library
Look for Printers Folder
Choose HP folder
At last drag the whole LaserJet folder to the trash
Repair
Open your hard drive and choose applications
Choose Utilities
Then select Disk Utility (double click on it)
In the following window select the name of you hard drive
At the bottom is an option "Repair Disk Permissions"(one click on it)
Install
Insert your Leopard installation DVD, click on the Optional Installs icon
Then Optional Installs.mpkg
Then Continue
Agree to the License
Then from the Custom Install window click on the arrow next to the Printer Drivers
Then put a checkmark on the Hewlett-Packard Printer Drivers and then click on continue (note: I didn't see this option - instead it just installed drivers for a bunch of printer companies)
Finish the installation and then restart your Mac.

HP Laserjet 1012 and AP Express--PUZZLED

I cannot get my HP Laserjet 1012 to print wirelessly from my Airport Express. I had an Airport Extreme before and I it worked flawlessly.
In the Printer Setup Utility, the 1012 printer is recognized quicklyno problems with that. But it can't find a driver. Under "Print Using" I select "HP" and get the long list of HP printer drivers. There is no Laserjet 1012. None of the others seem to work. What do I do?
I downloaded the latest driver off the HP website for 1012 but it said it could not install it because I already had it installed! I have no idea what is going on. Please help!!

What you might try is to reset the MacOS printing system - see Mac OS X 10.4: About the Reset Printing System feature

Hp Laserjet 1012 printing via Bonjour on 10.4.6

I recently upgraded my OS from 10.3.9 to 10.4.6 and I couldn't find and install drivers for my hp LaserJet 1012 when connected through Airport Express. Printer is visible as a Bonjour printer. USB printing works just fine, so I assume the drivers are somehow installed. I was able to use my printer through AP Express when my PB was running 10.3.9.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Powerbook G4 12" Rev B Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Kappy. Thanks for the response.
Actually, it's neither article.
The one I'm looking for appears at the bottom of a help page (Mac Help) when I do a search on "compatible printers". It's listed in the "Open this for me" sdection at the bottom of the help page and is entitled "Printers compatible with Mac OS X".
When I click on that link, I end up at a web page that says "Looking for something on the Mac OS X site? The page you tried was not found."
This whole exercise is turning into an absolute nightmare!!! The day before yesterday, following the suggestions in one of the Apple documents, I re-installed the HP drivers from the supplemental installations on the Tiger DVD.
I then deleted the printer in the System Preferences and re-created it.
When I tried to print, in OS X, it printed without a hitch! I then tried an application in the Classic environment and this also printed without a problem. I figured that my problem was solved and had been solved by the re-installation of the HP drivers. I left the printer on, as usual, shutdown the Mac, as usual, and went to bed.
Yesterday morning, I figured I would confirm that my problem was indeed solved; just before leaving for work, I turned the Mac on, and tried to print. Guess what? It wouldn't print at all. Nothing happens other than what I've been getting since installing 10.5.2: "Waiting for device", etc...
Next step: I'll partition one of my drives, re-install 10.4 from the original DVD and won't apply any upgrades. I won't migrate any users either but will just create a dummy user. This should allow me to print, since this setup had been running without any problems for a few years. Then I can always re=boot from that system whenever I want to print... But what a hassle!!!

Printing to Airport Express connected Laserjet 1012 very slow after update to 10.6.8

After updating a pair of computers that we have here to 10.6.8, printing to our Airport Express connected HP LaserJet 1012 has become incredibly slow. I timed it and it is taking 2:30 to print a blank page, whereas printing the same blank page under 10.6.7 (on an external drive connected to the same MacBook Pro) happens within 2 seconds. One thing that I have noticed is that when I bring up the HP Printer Queue the computer says 'connecting to printer' for 20 - 30 seconds, then sits at 50% complete on the printing for some time - anyone else running into similar problems?

Because I am not experiencing the same issue I have not needed to apply the CNET article. But just to be clear, did you follow the instructions to the letter?
If you did and it's still not working then you can begin narrowing down where the problem is by following some basic trouble shooting steps. First thing I'd try is creating a new user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and leave it alone, then try printing from that account. If it works then you know it's a software issue in your normal user account. If it still doesn't work then what I'd do is:
1. Download 10.6.8 Combo Update at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
2. Disconnect all peripherals (including the printer)
3. Backup using both Time Machine and/or a Bootable Clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner
4. Restart from the Bootable Clone or the Snow Leopard install discs.
     a) choose language
     b) Click Utililities Menu
     c) Disk Utility
     d) highlight the internal HD and the First Aid tab
     e) Repair Disk Permissions, Verify Disk & Repair Disk.
     f) exit Disk Utility and restart in Safe Mode
5. Install the Combo Update
6. Restart normally and test the system
7. Begin connecting peripherals one by one and testing each.

Driver for HP Laserjet 1012 to work under Windows 7- 64 bit

Am trying to install a HP Laserjet 1012 to work under Windows 7- 64 bit and at HP Support, could find drivers for Vista -64-bit only.
I have tried to install this Vista - 64 bit driver and it does not seem to even print a test page.
Is there some other tweak that I need to make or
or
does it mean there will be no driver specifically usable for Win - 7 and I might as well junk the printer?
Thanks in advance.

How do you get LaserJet 1012 connected to a Windows 7 (64 bit professional) operating system?

This is weird. The plug-and-play feature should put the printer up and running, but it doesn't. It doesn't even recognize the printer as such (it's called "unspecified). The Pavilion people say thay cannot help because it isn't the computer's problem (duh!), and they give me a broken link for printer help (duh!)
Then the HP site for drivers does not have a Windows 7 driver for the LaserJet 1012, and trying to get help, that product isn't even supported anymore.
Any suggestions? Does HP even monitor these cries of distress from the swamp?

A user in this thread suggested using the Laserjet 3055 PCL 5 driver and other users reported success.

LaserJet 1012 Prints half page

I'm trying to print a 5 x 8 page (I've tried other custom sizes too, with the same result) from Word. The HP LaserJet 1012 cuts the page about 2/3 of the way down. This page will print from my other HP printers and from a Brother printer with no problems. I've tried setting the 1012 to a setting of printing on 5 x 8 (it's already set that way in the page set up in Word), and on 8 1/2 x 11, and in both cases it cuts off the page. What to do?

Okay, need a little more definition on the issue. When you say it prints 2/3 of the page, how exactly......does it only print 2/3 of the text when it reaches the bottom? or does it cut off 2/3 of the way down the page and leave 1/3 of the page blank? and are the borders looking normal at the same time? is it always text that is cut off or are pictures involved?

Laserjet 1012 on network with Vista 64 bit laptop

I am currently trying to connect to a Laserjet 1012 that is set up on our home network with a laptop running 64 bit Vista. I have tried to just rght click and drag the printer from the networked computer it is directly connected to and then try the install option. This brings up a dialog box stating that it cannot find the correct inf file or drivers to install the printer. I have tried downloading and extracting the Vista 64 bit drivers from the HP support site but I can not find the inf files needed to complete the install. Had been running an XP laptop with the printer installed the same way and am currently using another laptop with 32 bit version of Vista that was installed the same way with no problems. I have tried several different things to get this printer installed but still can't get it up and running.
Any help will be appreciated.

See if these help:

Hp Laserjet 1012 not working after installing Yosemite

After updating to OSX Yosemite, my laserjet 1012 printer no longer works. I've tried downloading the new hp update in the app store multiple times after removing the printer and previous drivers with no luck.
My computer is recognizing the printer, and when i try to print something, the page comes out with "Unsupported Personality: PCL" at the top.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem that works? I've already spent a few hours trying suggestions from other forums.

Hi @challdev,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP Laserjet 1012 is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:
HP Support Center.
I hope this helps!

Will my hp Laserjet 1012 printer work with my new Mac Mini (OS 10.7, Lion)?

I finally have to upgrade from my Mac Mini OS 10.4.11 to a Mac Mini OX 10.7, and wonder if I have to buy all new peripherals, too.
Here's what I have:
HP Laserjet 1012 black and white printer
Proview 17-inch display, PL913s
Epson Perfection 4490 flatbed scanner. (I scan a lot of manuscript pages and must have a scanner with an adjustable top)
Wired keyboard with numeric keypad
Wired mouse
Yes, I know they're old, but they work fine!
Thank you!

Hello Fiona6,
I use iMac (Snow Lep) and 2011 Mini (Lion) and from both systems my results are:
Wired keyboard & mouse - work ok, I don't like or use wireless types.
My LaserJet 1010 - works ok (Your 1012 should also work, same series of printer).
If your display works ok now, cannot see why it would not work. My mini works with various vga and DVI displays I have at various times attached to it.
Don't know about your scanner though, with my all in one printer/scanner I have had to use OS X Image Capture program to scan. Might be worth a look at Epson's site to check on any software updates.
Roy.
Edit: Regarding display if you are getting a new mini you will need a new display adapter, minidisplayport to vga or dvi, assuming your display is one of these. This can be plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the new Macs.

HP LaserJet 1012 - Wireless from Mac to PC

Hi all,
Here's my situation:
I have a desktop PC running Vista that my HP Laserjet 1012 is connected to - works fine. Wired connection to Linksys WRT54G.
I have a MBP 2.33GHZ C2D connected wirelessly to the WRT54G.
I would like to be able to print wirelessly from my MBP to my Laserjet 1012 while still keeping it connected to my PC. I did a few searches and got a bit lost I'm afraid. I tried sharing the printer (and I believe I successfully "logged into it" on the printer menu on my Mac) but I was unable to locate the printer.
Any ideas about the easiest way to do this? Thanks!
