HP LaserJet 3300 Printer & OS 10.6 compatible?

Currently running OS 10.5.8. The HP LaserJet 3300 printer/scanner is connected via USB to iMAC and prints OK. Previous OS upgrades have generally caused problems with this printer. If upgrade to OS 10.6, is the printer going to work, or what needs to be done to get it to work? Thanks

Check here for supported drivers:

It looks like there is a supported driver from HP.
Searching in the forum will show if anyone has had issues when upgrading.

HP laserjet 3300 mfp has stopped printing

My HP laserjet 3300 mfp has suddenly stopped printing. The error log gives no information although is has occasionally given the following message recently:
Error0=2009/10/15 14:54:44 - GetProductDeviceID: Not PML registered, so cannot unregister
Error1=2009/10/15 14:54:41 - unable to find and PML register with device
The trouble shooting process gets me nowhere: nothing has changed (except MS updates! ). I can see the printer from all control panels on the network. It says 'error' but gives no clue as to what that might be. I've tried printing with notepad and a test document and rebooting but nothing works. Its photocopying facility works fine. Help, anyone?

I would think the ip address and folder options of the printer is what probably changed and when you setup the printer again you did so with a new ip address but also had to put the folder info in again. Suggest you type in the ip address of the printer into your web browser and see if there is a link there to setup the scan to folder and if there is, put the correct information back in.

The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

Hello,
I hope somebody can help us. I am a IT Technician in a school, we have approx 500 Windows 7 64bit machines with about 600/700 users - 200 machines have the CS5.5 Master Collection installed on them. We have an intermittent issue with printing from Photoshop (both the 32bit and 64bit versions). Our printers are mostly HP LaserJet printers (all modern), but we have an Epson B-510DN Inkjet and some Xerox copiers too. The drivers are all installed on a central print server running Server 2008 R2 and shared via Group Policy to client machines.
In rooms where Photoshop is installed, intermittently when a student goes to print we will recieve the following error:
The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
Photoshop will then grey out the 'Print' button and won't let the user print again. The odd thing is that we can still print from other software such as Microsoft Word or even non Microsoft software - even Illustrator will print. It just seems to be Photoshop thats has any issues.
This happens when printing to any printer on site, 90% of which are HP's. As a general rule we configure all of our HP printers with HP's PCL6 Universal Print Driver as it makes management of various printer models easy, and we haven't found it to limit us atall yet. We are aware the Adobe software is 'preferential' to Postscript drivers but our printers arn't, being HP's PCL is their native language. We have tried changing a printer to the Postscript UPD driver to test it but it made no improvement. We have also seen the issue quite indepth with our Epson B-510DN which is configured with Epson's latest model specific driver as our photography department use it. Since we are seeing it with different printers I don't believe the printer drivers are to blame - unless somebody want's to prove me wrong.
Like I say the problem is intermittent, and we are having trouble tracing it down to a user, computer or a software problem as it is so intermittent. Has anybody else seen this and managed to overcome it? Since it's only happening in Photoshop is it a bug that Adobe have recognosed and fixed in CS6? The only workaround we have found for it is to go into printers, chnage the defualt printer from one to another and back again - this seems to shut Photoshop up.
Thanks, Dave.

Chris,
Apologies for my slow reply - we have been busy here the past few weeks.
We are using a standard Microsoft provided JPG image (Tulips.jpg) so we have ruled out it being an issue with the image; perhaps if we were using a PSD, maybe so.
We have now found out what the issue is, and what the workaround for this bug is. All of our printers across our site are named in a specific format, usually [Location name] [Room number] [Mono or Colour] resulting in printer names such as Photography A11 Colour, Art A2B Colour and Design Technology A14 Colour. All of these names contain numbers. We have tried reimaging machines, reinstalling Photoshop, upgrading to CS6, deleting and reconfiguring printers with the same name. Finally the only solution that worked was to take the numbers out of the name, either by renaming or deleting and reconfiguring the printers. The Photography printer is an Epson B-510DN using a model specific driver and the other two use the HP PCL6 UPD driver, so I don't believe the drivers are to blame and since renaming the printers work I don't believe it's a configuration issue either. Remember that these printers are shared from a print server and deployed via Group Policy (using the Print Management method).
I hope this provides you Chris, and others searching Google, a useful explanation of the problem and what the fix is. As much as Adobe won't admit it's a problem/bug, I and many others across the internet believe that it is and that it should be fixed in future versions of Photoshop.
Thanks, Dave.

HP LaserJet 1102w printer settings on WRT54G2-V1 lost after power is turned off

I have installed the HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 1102w printer on my Windows 7 (64 bit) Professeional and Windows XP laptops.They both print fine over the network using the WRT54G2-V1 router immediately after installing the drivers. However after shutting down either the computers or printer the settings are lost and the printer willl not work unless the drivers are reloaded.
In talking with HP support they are telling me this printer is not compatible with the router, which I find hard to believe given most backward compatibility built into printers today and the fact it initially works before it is shut off. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to configure my router to support the printer or verify if the information I received from HP support is valid.
Thanks!

The trick is to set the printer's IP Address manually so has a static IP address. See the user manual for the printer (I think this may be the user manual for the OP's printer). If so see page 28 for how to set the IP Address to manual on the printer.
IP address
The product IP address can be set manually, or it can be configured automatically using DHCP, BootP,
or AutoIP.
To change the IP address manually, use the HP Embedded Web Server.
1. Open the HP Embedded Web Server, and then click the Networking tab.
2. In the navigation pane, click the IPv4 Configuration link or the IPv6 Configuration link.
3. In the IP Address Configuration section, click the Manual IP option.
4. Type the required data in the Manual IP Address box, the IP Subnet Mask box, and the Manual
Deault Gateway box.
5. Click the Apply button.
You will need to set the IP address for the printer outside of the range the router's DHCP server has reserved and hands out to clients. For example if the router is configured to use it's default IP address of 192.168.1.100 with 50 client addresses reserved, try setting the printer to 192.168.1.200 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If the printer drivers were previously installed and configured they will either need to be removed and reninstalled so they use the new printer IP address, or reconfigured so they point to the new IP address of the printer.

Laserjet 1300 printer installation

I got an old laserjet 1300 printer from a friend - no driver or manual included. Downloaded the driver from the hp website. My OS is Windows XP. This printer isn't listed for installation purposes. I reviewed the manual for compatible drivers, but didn't see anything that addressed that issue.
Anyone out there know of one or more printers whose drivers are compatible with Laserjet 1300?
This has a brand new ink cartridge, so I hate not to use it!
Thanks.

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.

HP LaserJet 3300 problem with gray film

I have used the laserjet constantly and from time to time get paper jams. I can only suspect that damage was done to the gray film covering a rod at the back of the machine since there is clearly a piece torn off it. It means that printing pages shows a dark line down the paper imaging the torn section. Shown slightly right of center. Can this be repaired?

AMW122,
The part in the photograph appears to be part of the fuser assembly. If it is part of the fuser assembly, I would recommend you replace the fuser. An internet search on "LaserJet 3300 fuser" found several links.
From what I can see, it appears that the fuser sleeve is damaged which will continue to worsen.
If it is not the fuser, can you post another photograph further away so that we can see the location on the printer where it is located, etc...

I just purchase an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer. I could not install with the installation disk that was furnished by HP. This is my first Mac product and I'm just not sure what I'm doing...help! I don't know if it's a mountain lion, a tiger, or a dog! The box says OS X. I really need help. Thanks for your time.

What Mac operating system are you running on your iMac?
Are you certain they're compatible?
Have you checked with HP to see if there's a newer driver?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4 075472
In addition, I haven't loaded on any software with my last 3 printers. They just work without them, IMHO.
But a current driver would be necessary.

Time Capsule and HP LaserJet P2015d Printer

I have recently set up a new Time Capsule as my main base station and it is working great as a Wireless router and Time Machine Backups. However, I have just plugged my HP LaserJet 2015d printer into the USB port and it is not being recognized. It doesn't show up anywhere, either in the printer settings box or the printers section of the Manual Setup in Airport Utility.
Can anyone shed light on what I need to do to get the printer to be recognized or point me to a list of compatible printers? I have been through the various troublshooting documents I can find and so far no luck.
Thanks,
Drew

Hello Drew Fulton. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if the printer you are interested in is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Browser: Google Chrome 15
HP Print driver: HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 v5.4.0
Printer is connected by WiFi to 4 computers

Hi AbZu,
You need to contact Google Chromes technical support as this is only an issue with Chrome. You have indicated that the printer functions correctly everywhere else. Check out the link below for Google Chrome technical support. Let me know if you need additional assistance?

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.

I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC. The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.
