HP Laserjet 1100 Print Issue

I have above printer connected to Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 laptop system.  When sending print job to printer the print queue appears to process normally (job shows up, changes status, then disappears).  However printer never responds:  lights do not blink and nothing prints.
I disconnect the printer and connect it to a Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 3 system (using same printer cable) and printer operates correctly!  So the printer cable should be OK.
I connect a different printer--a Canon--to each computer system and it works correctly.  So the print cable port on the laptop should be OK.
I downloaded the latest driver for the 1100 from HP site onto the laptop, removed the printer defn and re-added the printer...same problem.
Any thoughts as to why the printer is not responding when sending print job?  Printer is still good...hate to toss it in the trash.
Note that these 2 computer systems are stand-alone (no networking between them) as is the printer.
Thanks.

Hi there.  This is funny, or sad really.  I have the exxact problem.  When it doesn't print it says this printer is not connected.
That just can't be.  What about firmware?  While nosing around the HP site I noticed it says firmware needs to be updated.
I'm not sure how to do this.
Have a great day,
Zarifa

  • [SOLVED] Can't get CUPS to add / detect HP Laserjet 1100 printer

    I moved my computer downstairs... after a few weeks I decided to move my printer down and set it up. I had it working perfectly a few weeks ago before the move... however now I can't get CUPS to detect or add my printer. At first when I moved my printer downstairs the CUPS web interface had my previous setup still there and had my printer detected / added. However, printing jobs would just stay in the queue and never print. I did some googling and someone mention to remove the printer and re-add it. Well I tried to to that and got stuck on trying to re-add it. CUPS will not identify my printer now. Funny thing is I just now remember I had a similiar issue a few months back and I remembered now I fixed the queue issue just by unplugging the power to my printer and leaving it off for 5min then replugging it in. I have tried all the steps on the wiki and I can't seem to figure this one out. dmesg does output that it is detecting my printer. I have my printer hooked up via a mini parralel to USB cord. If you have any other questions for me please shoot
    Unplugging and repluggin my printer gives me this msg in dmesg:
    usblp0: removed
    usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
    usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x4348 pid 0x5584
    hp-toolbox also does not detect any printers. I have tried restarting cupsd... Any help is appreciated... I need to get printing up ASAP since school has started.
    lsusb output this amongst other things:
    Bus 006 Device 004: ID 4348:5584 WinChipHead CH34x printer adapter cable
    If it matters I am using XFCE as my DE... I also do not remember using the CUPS interface to intially add the printer... I do not exactly remember how I did it... but the web interface looked completely new to me and I am rather sure that is not how I initially went about doing it... perhaps I used some GUI frontend for it...
    EDIT: After reading the forum descriptions closer... perhaps this should be moved to the Workstation section.

    Tell you the truth... I have no idea how to change it or what not... I didn't even add that manually... just rebooted my computer one day and it appeared there.
    hpsetup does not detect my printer
    system-config-printer gives me an error when I try and add a printer. I manually specify the location to file:/dev/usb/lp0 ... I scroll down find HP LaserJet 1100 and the recommended driver is hpjis 3.9.8. I select that and I get the following:
    There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'
    EDIT: I am about ready to chunk to this printer out the window... I have been messing with this for about a week now and I just keep getting two steps forward and then three steps backwards.
    The system-config-printer dialog looked familiar and I believe that when I intially was able to set up my printer and had it working upstairs I used that dialog to add my printer.
    Some googling brought me to this ubuntu bug report
    Your USB-to-parallel adapter does not pass through the printer ID. The device is recognized as printer, but there is no information about manufacturer and model. Therefore system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils automatically assign the text-only printer to the unknown device.
    In general you have to run system-config-printer and manually choose manufacturer and model.
    That you cannot print at all is a bug of the "hal" CUPS backend. See
    https://fedorahosted.org/hal-cups-utils/ticket/5
    Try to do the following:
    cupsctl FileDevice=yes
    lpadmin -p <your print queue name> -E -v file:/dev/usb/lp0
    This is an ugly workaround which works if you have only one printer (the one with the adapter cable) on USB. Does it work for you?
    Now the problem is that I can not add my printer via the system-config-printer. However, if I go the CUPS web interface and hit manage printers the driver is listed as the following:
    Driver:    Local Raw Printer (grayscale)
    Now I think that is my issue... I need to have it set to the correct driver... if I hit modify printer and select my Make/Model I get the following access error:
    401 Unauthorized
    Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page. If you are using Kerberos authentication, make sure you have a valid Kerberos ticket.
    However there is no prompt or I do not know where to enter this information to.

  • I can't find HP LaserJet 1100 printer driver.

    I got My Mac to "see" my PC's shared folder and I'm so excited. Then I tried to print but it didn't have my print driver: the HP LaserJet 1100. Is there some way to get it or some other way to make it work?
    Thanks.

    No I am. I started to answer a different question. Sorry. If I could delete my post I would have.

  • HP Laserjet 1100 - print fails

    Hi
    I have an OLD HP Laserjet 1100 which I used to be able to print from fine on my old XP (SP2) machine. I have recently set the printer up on a new laptop running XP (SP3) using a parallel to USB converter. It's using the same drivers. However, now, whenever I try print I get an immediate message saying "Print failed". Doesnt give me a reason. Just won't print!! If there is anyone out there who can help me I'd appreciate it!
    Regards,
    AEC
    p.s. Buying a new printer is unfortunately not really an option.

  • Color LaserJet 3800 Printing Issues

    I am in the process of upgrading our desktop computers to Windows 7 Pro (x64). In preparation for this we setup a new print server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and created new print queues for each of the printers on our old Windows 2003 server, installed curent drivers for each, and thought that all would be good.
    The issue I am seeing is that our users who are printing to an HP Color LaserJet 3800 are getting letter spacing issues where some letters are crushed together and others are too widely spaced (see example above). I can print the same document to an HP Color LaserJet 3600 everything looks correct.
    I have verified that the print server has the HP Color LaserJet 3800 driver that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 and that the other printer is running the HP Color LaserJet 3600 driver. These are both probably the ones available through Windows Update. Finally, we have tested a solution where the Universal Print driver is intalled locally and that seems to work fine. However, I don't want to have drivers individually installed if I can help it.
    Any ideas here?

  • LaserJet 5100 printing issue

    I have a LaserJet 5100 - purchased in 2005 - worked great until I just bought a new HP Pavilion computer.  It prints normal text fine but having issues printing 11x17 pdf drawings.  I have tried loading updated drivers from HP site, called HP and talked to 3 people who didn't help, and talked to the Geek Squad at BestBuy who suggested I buy a new printer!  Well, this printer works great so I need help getting it to communicate to the new computer!!  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • HP Laserjet 3055 printing issues

    I have a HP Laserjet 3055 which used to work fine and now won't print from my iMac. It's connected through USB directly to my iMac and I've reloaded the drivers a few times. I can scan but whenever I print, it goes to the active printing screen, then just shows up as a completed job without ever printing. If I go to HP Director, all the buttons work except for the "Maintain Device" button which brings up a "Error accessing device configuration page." when pressed. Also, the printer is hooked up to my network (through router) and all other Windows machines are able to print so it's some kind of issue with the Mac. Any help appreciated.

    I have the same problem. I've done everything.

  • Color LaserJet 5550 Printing Issues

    Hi All,
    I am having one problem on 2 HP Color LaserJet 5550 printers. The problem seems to be sporadic in nature, but on some full page prints, a small black line is printed across the image. I have tried running a PQ Troubleshooting test through the printer's diagnostics option, but everything seems to print fine when I do this. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • HP Laserjet P1505 printing issue

    I am a PC person and MACs are new to me so I'm not sure how to get this printer to work at the office.
    I've installed it and it will print one or two time and then everything gets stuck in the queue. I can't resume and end up having to delete the jobs, restart and try again. I've gone to the HP site and installed their driver and software but it still does the same thing.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for a MAC newbie? Is there a better printer out there for the MAC than this one?

    Hi snirpy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Try this 1st, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Which exact Mac do you have, btw?

  • HP Laserjet 1005 printing issue..please help!

    Hi there
    I am having a problem with my printer. I bought it back in sept 09 and its been great until recently. I will be in the middle of printing a document on the correct letter size and i will get a error message on my computer telling me to load paper when I already have the paper loaded. The rest of my document will not print and it will sit in the queue. I then have to restart my computer, unplug and plug back in the printer to get it to work everytime. Its getting very annoying. I made sure all the drivers are up to date. Any suggestions???

  • HP LaserJet 1100 strange issues

    This printer was working just fine using the standard setup. I hooked it back up when I got back to my apartment and now it's not doing anything. The computer recognizes it. I've tried uninstalling the printer and resetting the printer system. The printer will print a test page just fine (if I push the button on the printer), as well. Here is the error I am getting:

    So, in case anyone else needs help with this in the future, LOOK CAREFULLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE TERMINAL!! I'm an idiot and didn't realize that my filename had been corrupted. For some reason, one of the m's in the filename got replaced with 胭. Don't ask me why, don't ask me how, it just did. So a basic command later and all was good again. And for some of the people who aren't familiar with *nix commands, I just used the mv command to change the file name:
    sudo mv libcupsi胭age.2.dylib libcupsimage.2.dylib

  • Barcode printing issues with Laserjet 1100 8.1 driver

    Hi All,
    I've ran into issues printing coupons to my Laserjet 1100 printer using Windows 8.1. This worked with no issues (and still does) in Windows 8. Looking at the driver versions, it appears that something was updated form 8 to 8.1.It seems this issue is related
    to printing any barcodes. Has anyone else encounters this? Is there any way I can use the Windows 8 driver instead?

    For anyone interested, the way I was able to fix this issue is with the
    HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6
    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=4157320&ac.admitted=1399039456352.876444892.199480143
    I selected Windows 8.1 x64, then downloaded the PCL5 driver and now the barcodes work.
