HP LaserJet 1100 with Extreme?

Has anyone gotten the Extreme to recognize this old printer? It doesn't show up in AP Utility when I plug it into the Extreme. I installed the Bonjour Printer Wizard and it doesn't see it either. An Apple Expert on the phone said the printer was probably just too old and so Apple hadn't bothered including a driver, but I just wanted to check. THanks.

You will need to install Gutenprint and the HP LaserJet driver, both available from the Linux Foundation's Open Printing project.

  • Problem with networking HP Laserjet 1100 with Leopard with new Intel iMac

    I have an HP Laserjet 1100 that I have used with my old iMac running Panther. I had used the HPIJS drivers in the past with the HP Laserjet 5 driver selected. It worked flawlessly. I use IPP to connect to the printer via a printer server.
    I have purchased a new iMac which is Intel based and runs Leopard. I am having a lot of trouble getting this printer to work with it. I went to the website referenced above and installed Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and then finally HPIJS. As I add the printer, it gave me the option to select an HP Laserjet 1100 printer (from the HPIJS set). When I add the IP address, it says it is valid. When I try to print, there is no response; the job just times out. I had the same problem with the Gutenprint driver that was installed with Leopard.
    Finally, I tried the HP Laserjet 6 from the HPIJS driver set. It had the word "recommended" next to it which was intriguing. It too did not work.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Steve Kirchner

    I'm afraid that Ghostscript, etc. are PPC only applications and any printer plug-ins they install will not work on an Intel Mac. You should uninstall all the third-party stuff you've installed for the printer, then only use the included printer driver installed by OS X unless HP has a universal binary driver compatible with OS X and Intel Macs. You might try using LPD rather than IPP for the printer.

  • MacBook + HP LaserJet 1100 + AirPort

    I would like to print wirelessly using my HP LaserJet 1100 with my new MacBook, but it looks like it will be more difficult than I thought.
    Problem #1:
    My HP does not officially work with my macbook. Is GutenPrint or HPIJS the better solution for a driver and printing wirelessly (I suspect GutenPrint)?
    Problem #2:
    The HP uses a parallel port connection, not a USB connection. It looks like Sabrent, Sewell and Belkin all make USB to parallel port adapters, but whether or not one will work seems to be pretty hit or miss and specific to the computer/printer combination. Which one will (or is most likely) to work?
    Problem #3:
    As I said, I want to print wirelessly. I have read several posts that say that some printers don’t work with an AirPort base station, even if that printer works with the actual computer (I think it is because the printer does not advertise that it is available over the network). Does GutenPrint overcome this problem (as suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=825581&tstart=15)? If not, what workarounds exist?

    How do you have it connected, USB adapter or parallel port?

  • Usb 2 connection to laserjet 1100 possible?

    want to use hp laserjet 1100 with laptop but can't find usb cable with connector that will fit laserjet's line in connector.

    I think the LJ1100 printer has a mini parallel connector on it. The cable you currently use would have the mini parallel on one end and a 25pin serial (male) on the other. I have never seen a mini parallel to USB cable. What you may be able to use is a Linksys WPS54GU2 device. You can look up the model to verify but, if I remember correctly, you can hookup your printer to the device with the parallel cable (or USB if supported) and either connect the device wirelessly or wired to your router and you will have a networked printer available.

  • 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.

  • [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.

  • Expanding memory on HP LaserJet 1100

    I installed a new memory card on my HP LaserJet 1100 (part # MXC7843A) and now can't get my printer to print.   I installed the card according to downloaded instructions from HP ("Installing DIMMs") and it seemed to go in just fine.  I tried reinstalling the printer software and rebooting the computer but still nothing.  The computer seems to be sending the page to print o.k.  All 3 lights on the control panel are blinking in unison.  According to the Quick Reference Guide, this means that "printer initialization is taking place".  Holding down the leftmost most light (the "go" button) doesn't do anything. 

    I had the same problem when I installed a brand new memory module C4137A which is 16 MB RAM. All lights are blinking. When I remove the memory it is fine again.
    Anyone with a solution?

  • LaserJet 1100 won't print in WordPerfect X4 unless manual button is pressed for each page.

    Hi - I'm using a Toshiba Satellite - Windows Vista 64 bit operating system.  When using WordPerfect X4, I can't get my HP LaserJet 1100 to print unless I manually push the button for each page.  I have no problems getting it to print automatically in Word or with .pdf documents.  Something is not compatible with WordPerfect.  It was printing fine to begin with, but once I printed an older version of Avery labels, it seemed to trigger this need to have to manually press the big button.  Help!

    Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

  • LaserJet 1100 paper out indicator

    My Laserjet 1100 refuses to recognize that there is paper in the paper feed slot. This means that I cannot use it to print. There used to be a kit that could be used to fix this, but HP seems to have stopped making it available. Is there another solution, or another source for the kit? Except for that problem, the LJ 1100 has been a great workhorse for me.

    Hello,
    A couple of possibilities come to mind......
    1) Sometimes, restarting the product can clear a paper feed issue. Follow these steps to perform a reset.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on , disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button ( ) to turn it on.
    Then:  On the product control panel, press and hold e Resume button ( ) for 2 to 3 seconds.
    Best of Luck!!
