Do the drivers for HP Universal Printing PCL 6 allow printing in color?

Recently I acquired a computer with a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 OS. Since the computer had no LPT1 Port, I connected my computer to my beloved HP Color LaserJet 4550 via USB using a mini-centronics adapter. I installed the Universal Printer PCL 6 in the "traditional" (not "dynamic") mode. Everything works fine, except for the fact that the Univeral Printer will not print in color. (I double-checked my 4550 to make sure the problem did not lie with this machine. I connected it back to its really old computer (Windows 2000 Professional OS), and the 4550 printed color documents with no problem.)
If the drivers for the Univeral Printer PCL 6 do allow for color printing, how do I turn that feature on? I have looked at the color management menu, supposing that therein lies the solution to my problem. But I am completely mystified and intimidated by this menu and have not the slightest idea what to do with it.
Someone please tell me there's a simple solution to my problem.
Thanks!

  • I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    You won't find them until you are in Windows.
    Helps to read even print the guide.
    If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
    Otherwise, just run that.
    Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
    Two different ways to get them.

  • Hooked Photosmart 2575 wifi for laptop with windows 7. downloaded the drivers for it.

    I am trying to" hook"  my laptop to my printer via netgear.,  I have a desktop that is hard wired to it and I have the printer wired to the netgear as well.  I have down loaded the drivers for the printer from the HP site.  My laptop recognizes it (I think) but can't get anything to print. My old desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 7.  Thanks for any help. 

    Is the desktop working with this printer?
    Do you receive any error messages?  If so, what are they?
    Is there any third party firewalls installed?
    Did the installation complete successfully?
    Go to Devices and Printers int he Windows 7 system.  Does the printer show as greyed out or solid color with a check mark?
    Try using the print and scan doctor.  Did it show any errors?  If so, it should either correct them or provide more information about the issue.  The web page for the tool lists how to use it and what it should do.

  • Where are the drivers for HP Stream 7 Tablet - 5701na???

    It appears that HP have pulled the drivers for the HP Stream 7 Tablet - 5701na.... I downloaded the wireless and BIOS a couple of days ago and stupidly didnt have them locally, now a couple of days later I return to the site and no drivers are listed for this model! Anyone know where I can get these drivers???  

    Hi: Unfortunately, the support pages are not working for most of the newer HP PC's. It has been that way for about a day now. Since I am not employed by nor do I represent HP, I am not sure when they will have the pages working again. Check back again some other time. With the Independence Day holiday weekend in the USA, I would not expect this to be taken care of immediately.

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

  • Integrating the drivers for the Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN in the kernel.

    Hello, I trying to build a custom kernel with only the needed things and I'm almost done; but if I try to include the drivers for that wireless card there is a message at boot time saying that the microcode could not be found.
    If the driver is compiled as a module everything is fine, what could be causing this? Is there any way to include the drivers in the kernel and still have them working?
    Thank you very much.

  • Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    Marco,
    Here are some suggestions:
    1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.   
        On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.   
        Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
    2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
         You must get this working before continuing.
          You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.  
         (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
    3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).      
        On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.   
        Click on Serial and Parallel.   
        Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.   
        Open a VISA Test Panel.
        Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
       Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)  
       Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)   
       The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.   
       Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.  
       If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.   
       (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.) 
    I hope this helps,
    steve

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.
