Hp laserjet 1300 on windows 8.1 laptop

my new asus notebook w/ 64 bit win8.1 will not recognize/ auto install my HP laserjet 1300 ... I use the usb 2 port and the machine sees printer not as printer but "other devise" and nothing happens ... also the windows stuff does not have the 1300 on the list of printers from which to choose ...

Manual duplex for LaserJet 1300 in Windows 8.1

Hello.
I'm using HP LaserJet 1300 under windows 8.1. I can't print pdf file on both sides of the page. When I choose this option it just prints the whole document. This printer is also used for windows XP and windows 7 and manual both side printing works fine there. I've installed drivers form hp site for windows 8.1
Help me please.

I have the same problem. Is there a solution? Even when it says it is printing double-sided it does not, and it's incredibly wasteful of paper! I see a lot of people asking the same question on different discussions and have only seen one answer that required modifying text in an .xml file. However, I could not find the file that the person referenced. This is the answer I saw (found at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/171987b1-0d50-4dbb-93c7-67067eb0fbf7/hp-la... I believe they were using a different driver. Is there a similar answer for the PCL5 driver for Win8.1 64 bit?
Open the file called "hpcu1306.xml". You will probably find it under "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3" ("C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\XXX\3" for non-x64 systems).
6. Search for this passage:



7. Search in this section for:
<prn_grp models="HP LASERJET P3005 ;HP LASERJET P3004 ;HP LASERJET P2015 SERIES ;HP LASERJET P2015D ;
HP LASERJET P2015N ;HP LASERJET P2015DN ;HP LASERJET P2015X ;HP LASERJET P2014 SERIES ;
8. Replace it with this:
<prn_grp models="HP LASERJET 1300; HP LASERJET 1300N; HP LASERJET P3005 ;HP LASERJET P3004 ;HP LASERJET P2015 SERIES ;HP LASERJET P2015D ;

9. Save the file and reboot your computer.
Done you now have manual duplex function for HP LaserJet 1300

Can anyone tell me if there is a new printer software/driver for Laserjet 1300 for Windows 7 64-bit?

I recently replaced my 2 Windows XP Media Center computers. I have a new Desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate and a Laptop that has Windows 7 Professional. I have an HP Laserjet 1300 printer that I would like to connect with my desktop. This printer still works. Keeping it would save me money. Can anyone give me the link to the Laserjet 1300 software/driver for Windows 7 64-bit?
Thanks in advance!

Installation Printer HP Laserjet 1300 on Windows 10

I connected my printer HP Laserjet 1300
Windows 10 detected and installed it, but like a other device, it doesn't appear like a printer...
I tried install the generic HP drivers, but the printer is still same!
I can not use my printer!

Hi,
I searched the driver on HP website, and the driver only up to Windows 8.1, I suspect that there's might be a compatibility issue here, I suggest you try the available drivers one by one, and check if one driver can fix this issue, if no drivers works, then
we will be out of luck here. In that case, please contact the HP support and check if they have any updated drivers for the printer.

Sharing Laserjet 1300 from Windows 7 64-bit to XP 32-bit

I used to have a working setup like this:
WinXP-computer#1 --- WLAN ---- WinXP-computer#2 ---USB--- LJ1300
My setup has now changed to this:
WinXP-computer#1 ---- WLAN ---- Win7(64bit)-computer ---USB--- LJ1300
I got the LJ1300 working on my Win7 computer.
I removed all the "old" LJ1300 printer devices from the WinXP-computer#1 and clicked "Add new" to reinstall it now that it's shared from a new computer.
I find the printer in the browers when choosing "Add printer" from the control panel on the WinXP-computer#1, but it's never able to find a suitable driver, but it HAS the driver. I didn't wipe that computer, just removed the printer.
I've downloaded the PCL5 driver and I've downloaded the universal driver. They both say "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver." when trying to use those as drivers when installing the printer.
I've also tried to click "Additional Drivers" on my Win7 computer and checking the x86-option. It then asks me for a driver. I tried the same two drivers as above but it just says there's no driver matching the chosen architecture...
AAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Laserjet 1300 driver for Win7 problem

Plugged my Laserjet 1300 into my new computer (System 7) via USB- and Windows couldn't find the right driver for it.
I canceled Windows trying to install driver automatically, and put original CD driver disk (Serial #Q1334-60107 ver 2.0) into drive-
but couldn't get Windows to recognize printer, even after re-boots.
Since I bought printer a while ago, I checked for updated drivers online, that would be 64 bit.
I installed this one:
upd-pcl5-x64-5.4.0.11744.exe
During driver install I plugged in printer & turned it on at what i thought was right time. I see this:
"HP Universal Printing PCL 5" as printer- but it won't print.
Tried Windows 'Uninstall' feature but it doesn't show the driver, to un-install it- OR where the driver's located.
** QUESTIONS: How do I Un-Install the driver? Do I use upd-pcl5-x64-5.4.0.11744.exe OR original disk driver #Q1334-60107 ver 2.0?
What's the procedure for installing this?- I can't find anything, despite an afternoon of Googling.
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Did you follow this guide to install the print? Installing LaserJet 1300 on Windows 7
You should not need to navigate to the driver you download. Actually stick it in the trash can for now When you selecet "Add a Printer" you need to select "Add a local printer." Ignore the writing to the right, that only applies if everything is working properly. If you follow the guide at the top it should get installed properly.

Is my HP LaserJet 1300 postscript compatible with Mac 10.9 Mavericks?

I am using a LaserJet 1300 with Windows XP. Because Microsoft does not support XP anymore, I must buy a new computer. I am considering changing to the iMac, but I love my 1300 postscript printer. The Mac sales rep said to find out if HP 1300 has drivers that are compatible with 10.9 Mavericks.
I've searched the Internet and even called customer support. The customer rep was in India or somewhere. I could not understand what he was saying. Would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks.

Hi,
The Laserjet 1300 is supported on Mavericks, as you may find listed for the HP LaserJet 1300 Series below:

HP Laserjet 1300 Manual Double Sided Printing with Windows 7

I just purchased a new laptop with windows 7, love the interface but have some hiccups here and there. And the one that is the biggest pain is printing. I have a HP Laserjet 1300 connected via a linksys print server. Single sided printing works just fine, but I used to be able to (and still can from my work laptop running XP and from my wifes Laptop running Vista Home) print double sided manually. But now even though it says duplex, it will not work and I think the Windows Driver believes that it is a duplexer attached to the printer verses a manual feature. Any ideas on how to get my manual double sided printing back?

Nice one...
I found you can also modify the "Manual Duplex Help" section to provide instructions to the user while duplex printing :
The following prn_grp displays pictures similar to the Laserjet 1300 and has the right procedure (take the printed pages and place them in the same orientation in the tray) :

More importantly, I was also able to modify the hpcu1306.xml file to enable full 1200 dpi support, by adding the following prn_grp at the end of the "Print Quality" section (after the hp LaserJet 9040 prn_grp and before the closing "</feature>")

<fname name="PrintQualityGroup" default="PQGroup_4">
<option name="PQGroup_2"/>
<option name="PQGroup_4"/>
<option name="PQGroup_5"/>
</fname>
</prn_grp>
NB : PQGroup_2 is for 600 dpi, PQGroup_4 is for FastRes 1200 dpi (fast) and PQGroup_5 is for ProRes 1200 dpi (finer, slower, more memory used).
The modified hpcu1306.xml file is available here : http://pastebin.com/6UxtcSaZ

LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP.

Resolved, not solved.
I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

Laserjet 1300 Driver for Windows 7 64 Bits

Come on HP - I need the driver for Windows 7 64 bits for my HP Laserjet 1300 series.
I installed a generic driver which works OK for some applications.
But when using my Stenograph application the box that should be printed
around the text on the printed page is NOT correct: I only see the top and left side of the box shifted by 3 inches.

Thanks very much for replying to my message. I got PCL 5 from both places -- from the Windows Update list and from the HP website. If it helps, at the hp website it is at:

You can get to it through www.hp.com/go/windows7, where I also got PCL6.
I have a lenovo thinkpad x300, and connect to the LJ1300 with a USB. I installed PCL5, for example, and tried to print a simple text. But my printer does not respond (the light doesn't start to blink), and when I use the Print function, it gives me a message that indicates "error, 1 document".
I will be off of my printer for a couple of weeks but want to be up and running soon. I had hoped installation of Windows 7 wouldn't be dramatic.
Thanks once again.
The links you cite take you to a page where there are links to:
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 x64
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript x64
As the name suggests, those drivers are intended to substitute for the "real" driver that is specific to a given printer. They primarily are intended for use where a network administrator is responsible for a variety of HP printers on a single network. See http://h20338.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cache/343033-0-0-225-121.html Personally, I found the "Universal Print Driver" impossible to install and configure. Congratulations on installing it -- even if it doesn't work.
On the same page that you linked to, there is a link under the heading "Driver" that leads to "Product Support for Windows 7." That link basically leads nowhere useful for Windows 7. The conclusion that you're led to by these pages is that the only choice for Windows 7 is one of the Universal Print Drivers. This conclusion is erroneous.
I can't reconstruct how I found it, but if you go to the link in my previous post (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...) you'll get to an HP support page for using HP printers with Win 7. Essentially, this page divides various HP printers into 6 categories and describes your options for each category:
HP and Windows 7 printer driver options available for the selected product
HP print driver available
Windows 7 print driver available
HP LaserJet AIO/MFP product options
Product will be supported
Selected product is not supported in Windows 7
The Laserjet 1300 is listed as a Category 3, which means that a driver specific to this model is built-in to Windows 7. This is not the Universal Print Driver. The catch is that the driver for the Laserjet 1300 isn't available in Windows 7 out-of-the-box (at least, that's what happened in my installation). It only shows up if you permit Windows Update to update the list of built-in printer drivers.
I suggest that you completely uninstall your LJ1300. Disconnect the LJ1300. Then, right click on its icon in Printers and Devices and select "Remove Device." Then click on any other printer listed and then click on "Print server properties" in the menu bar. Click on the Drivers tab and Remove the Universal Print Driver (or whatever else looks like it's related to the LJ1300. Uninstall anything to do with the Universal Print Driver from Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program.
Now, you can take one of two approaches:
What I did was just plug the printer in and turn it on. If you've managed at some point to update the list of built-in printers, Windows should just identify and install the printer like any other USB device. Otherwise, you should get a popup asking you to give permission to search the web for a driver. Grant the permission. Windows will find the correct driver and install the printer.
Alternatively, go to Devices and Printers and start the Add Printer wizard. Tell it you're installing a local printer to LPT1. You'll get to the list of built-in printer drivers. Select HP in the left pane and scroll through the right pane. If you find the PCL5 driver for the Laserjet 1300, cancel the process and then add the printer as in the paragraph above. If you don't find an entry for the Laserjet 1300, click the Windows Update button. After a couple of minutes, the process will be finished, and now when you look there will be the PCL5 driver for the Laserjet 1300. Cancel the process and add the printer as in the paragraph above.
Good luck.

Where are the drivers for HP LaserJet 5P for Windows 8.1 (64bit)?

Had been using HP LaserJet 5p printer with HP LaserJet 5p printer driver, but had printer disconnect for a few months due to not have black toner. Now I want to use the printer and my control panel does not show HP Laser 5p printer for my tablet but shows it for my laptop. I can not find the driver on the HP support list and the support list does not recognize HP LaserJet 5p.

HP LaserJet 1300 not connected for more than 1 day

Since Apple came out with the Yosemite printing system, I cannot print wirelessly for more than one day. I have reset my modem, changed the location of my network, unplugged and repowered Airport Extreme, started in Safe Mode, and more.
No matter what I do: I either get: a printer name with a number in parenthese or a long Bonjour number when deleting and adding a printer on my laptop.
Whatever I do, it only works from about 24 to 36 hours. Then when i go to print it says Printer is Not Connected. I can delete and add again, usually it will find the printer, add it, print, and then a day or two later, the printer is not connected again.
But I have to keep redoing this both to my laptop and my wife's, and we have not had reliable printing since Yosemite cane out about October 18, 2014.
Equipment
iMac:
Operating Sysem: 10.10.1
Printer: HP LaserJet 1300
Network: Comcast
Router: Airport Extreme
The only thing I have not done I can think of is reset Airport Extreme. I can do that, but don't know if I will then have additional problems.
This all started with the YIosemite update but at this point I don't know if it is an HP-related problem or a general Yosemite-related problem.
I appreciate any help I can get. Have wasted probably 40 hours over two-plus months trying to get this fixed. When Apple could not fix it back in October, the person referred me to HP. The person at HP Business did not know my printer was supported for Yosemite although his own web site said it was. So that was not much help And after resetting printers, deleting and adding printers, etc., I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for listening.

Did it start not syncing after the iOS 4.2 update?

Hp laserjet 1300 not receive signals from computer

HP Laserjet 1300 seems not to receive signals from my computer. Please explain
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are you networked or USB cabled into from the printer into the computer?
What OS are you using?
If you are on windows 7 and networked in, then you need to check and make sure the that the IP address of the printer is listed as the same in the port settings.
If you are on windows 7 and are using a USB cable, then you have to load the printer through the IN-OS driver. See the link below...
Install the driver included in the Windows 7 operating system (OS)
If you are using some other OS or driver, please let me know.

HP LaserJet 1300 - No Finishing options for double-sided manual printing

I connected my HP Laserjet 1300 printer to my iMac and installed the drivers but I do not have the same capability I had with Windows XP. I do not have the Preferences options to select "Print On Both Sides (Manually). Actually, I do not have access to the Printer Preferences screens with the Tabs - Advanced, Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects. Are these capabilities available on the Mac?

I plan to keep the iMac. I ordered the new software CD for my LaserJet printer. I just don't know all the option clicks that are there. I called Apple Care and found out about the small box with the triangle that pulls down more printer options.
I really would rather not use Boot Camp. I plan to migrate completely to the Mac world. I started migrating my few Publisher docs to Pages. I just found flip4mac. I just have to accept the steep learning curve for about 1 month or so.
I'm going to mark this resolved at this time.
Thank you,
Ed
