HP LaserJet 1022n prints gibberish since swapping G4 computers

When swapping my newer 733 MHz G4 for the older AGP G4 on the ethernet network at the office, I was no longer able to print more than a string of gibberish that is probably some sort of Postscript language. It begins with: %! PS-Adobe-3.0
%RBINumCopies : 1 (atend)
and will print multiple pages of this output if I let it. Before the old G4 was replaced there was never any trouble using the printer, a HP LaserJet 10022n, as a network printer using a router in my room at the office. I've downloaded HP drivers, deleted .plists and anything looking like it was related to printer settings, to no avail. The printer works fine with the PC I also use in the office. Any ideas??

Hi Rob, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Yes that is Postscript, and the printer isn't liking it, I'd delete that one in Printer Setup Utility & try adding a new hp non-Postscript one.
Might try these two also...

  • HP LaserJet 4300 prints gibberish for one user, but prints OK for all others on a Windows 7 32-bit

    HP LaserJet 4300 printer installed via LPT1 using Universal Print Driver v5.2.6.9321 on an HP 8100 desktop running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit.
    For one particular user, this printer prints gibberish no matter what type of document she attempts to print.
    Not sure when the problem began, the user uses a network printer to work around this issue. She can print to any of the other HP printers on our network OK, including another 4300 down the hall.
    Anyone else can log on and print the same documents OK on this desktop using this printer.
    Have tried rebooting the HP 8100 and power cycled off/on the 4300. Also uninstalled and re-installed the 4300.
    I have updated the firmware on this 4300.
    Changing the print processor in the printer properties did not help either.
    Virus and malware scans have not detected any issues.
    Any advice for this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi MDOTd5-247,
    The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.

  • HP Laserjet 1022n & Windows 7 64-bit & spooling

    My home network has three desktop computers, one laptop and one tablet. Two of the desktops, plus the tablet are all running Windows 8.1. The laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit Professional, while the third desktop is running Windows 7 64-bit Home. All of the computers use the network to connect to the Laserjet 1022n printer that is also connected to the network (hard-lined). The Laserjet does have the latest Firmware installed onto the printer. All three of the devices that are using Windows 8.1 are able to connect and print fine from the printer, however it is the two Windows 7 computers that are having issues with the printer.
    The problem is that the spooling is not resetting once a print job has been sent. The print job will continuously print the print job indefinetly unless I go into the "c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers\" folder and manually clear out the spool. I have downloaded both the Full HP software as well as the basic driver for the Laserjet onto both Windows 7 computers. I have tried running the repair feature and as well as just using the basic driver to add the printer. Nothing seems to be working correctly.
    The ONLY way for me to get the printer to work is to use one of the Windows 8.1 computers as a middle-man; connecting to that computer and sending the print job through that computer. Only issue is that it takes forever to spool the print job to the Windows 8.1 computer before it can start printing. These are fairly new computers; both purchased in the last year. Both have 4 Gigs of RAM so that is not the reason. So I am not sure what is going on.
    None of the computers are directly cabled to the printer and the main Windows 7 computer that I really need to have working with the laserjet is on the opposite side of the house (the Windows 7 laptop does not use the print feature that much,  so it is not AS critical).
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the HP Forums Hinalover,
    I see by your post that you are having issues with the print spooler on the Windows 7 computers.
    I can help you with this issue.
    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?
    Try running the Microsoft Fix It Tool to see if it will fix the print spooler.
    Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically.
    You can also run the System File Checker to repair corrupted or missing files.
    System File Checker: Run sfc /scannow & analyze its logs in Windows 7 | 8.
    You might end up having to do a repair of Windows.
    Please let me know the results.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Installing x64 and x86 drivers for a HP Laserjet p1505n printer on Windows Server 2008

    How do you install both x64 and x86 drivers for a p1505n on a 2008 server? I have now managed to install 64 bit drivers but can't install x86 drivers in the normal way using Additional Drivers from the Sharing tab. I am also trying to do similar for a laserjet 1022n printer.

    On the 2008 Server x64 I installed the FULL driver package 163mb.
    I installed the HP P1505n on Server 2008 and made sure that was working.
    Then I went back in and did the Additional Driver thing and when it asked for the driver for x86 I went to the
    C:\hp_P1000_P1500_Full_Solution folder and scrolled to the bottom and there was the x86 XP driver.
    I hope this helps someone.

  • Is HP Laserjet 1022N eprint enabled?

    Is the HP Laserjet 1022n printer eprint enabled? Is there a nice list of HP printers that are?

    Hi,
    The HP Laserjet 1022 does not support cloud services as ePrint.
    You may find any supported printer for ePrint in the following document:

  • I purchased a MacPro 2010 and is having trouble to add HP LaserJet 1022n to my printer list.

    Dear Administrator,
    I purchased a Mac Pro 2010.  I migrated from my MacBook Pro to Mac Pro.  Then, the HP LaserJet 1022n won't print.  I reseted printing system and now can't add that printer to my printer list.  Software Update have installed HP Printer Driver v. 2.16.1 on my system.  The printer is actually available in HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update.  But, no matter how I do it, it always complained that the Driver software is currently unavailable and ask me to install it later.  I have downloaded the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update manually, but it won't install and showed my Macintosh HD as not a valid install target.  I tried to install the driver CD that came with the printer, but it complained that a newer version of the driver has been installed on the SSD hard drive.  Please help.
    My guess is that the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update is on the system but is corrupt, that is why the Add Printer command can't simply pick up the driver on the computer.  Other method also break down since they think I already have the driver installed.  I think that I needed to uninstall the HP Printer Driver 1.1.1 update to correct the system.  That is just my hunch.
    Please advice.  Thank you very much for your time and effort in this matter.
    Sincerely yours,

    Have you tried un-installing the original (complete) software and re-installing it?
    Usually that does the trick. After that you can try the update if necessary.

  • 'Laserjet 1022n Windows Update' causing printing problems: print jobs don't stop printing

    Hello,
    a few days ago, I installed the Laserjet 1022n Windows Update on my Windows 7 64 bits and since then, I can't print a page normally: the page doesn't stop printing. I am using a network port with TCP/IP.
    I made several trials to solve this problem:
    - uninstall the printer driver and installing it again (I tried the last version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)
    - update the firmware of the printer to the last version on the HP site.
    When I pause the printer and start the print job, you see it arriving in the list. Resuming the printer, the print starts on the printer but you see that the job stays in the list, flashing again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.
    I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no mean of uninstalling the HP Laserjet 1022n software update because it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs (well on the list of the done updates by the way op windows updates).
    I have the same problem printing on the same printer from another Windows  7 PC (with the same windows update done)
    But I have no problem printing with my laptop on another network printers.
    Is there someone having the same problem and how to solve it ?
    Thanks for answering

    I found the solution on this site : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing
    You just have to uncheck the chekbox "Enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the printer properties and it works normally again !!!!

    I think the best bet now is to do a fw update on the printer.   You will need to connect to the printer via a USB cable to do the update since your network connection is not working correctly.   Here is a link to the fw update.
    That should bring your printer up to date and/or clear the issue.  Give it a try.

  • 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.

  • HP LaserJet 1020 Printer - booklet printing (Operating System Windows XP)

    We were using above option earlier in HP Laserjet 1020 Printer. Presently, the printer is not responding to this option. We tried to reinstall several times using the driver software supplied with the printer but this particular option did not work. Rest of the normal functions of the printer is performing satisfactorily. Please advice us how to sort out this issue.
    More Details:Earlier, after complete printing the pages to be printed on one side, the printer will pause and the button will show red and blink. Also, while pausing, the monitor used to display "how to keep the bunch of papers already printd to be kept in the lower tray for printing on the backside of the sheets". Presently, the first phase is happening, ie., printing the bunch of papers on one side and the printer pasuses. Afterwards, the blinking of the red light, display on the monitor depicting how to keep the sheets in the lower tray for continuing the balance of the print is not appearing. Since there is no indication or response we are forced to "end task", and come out of the situation.
    With regards and best wishes

    Hi 
    You can try running the following utility at the link below. It sounds like a network issue since you are able to print fine when you give the users admin rights.
