HP Laserjet 4000 and 6L in Windows 7 - cannot locate drivers

I recently purchased an Asus laptop, Windows 7 operating system, 64-bit. I am trying to install HP LaserJet 4000 and HP LaserJet 6L printers to this computer with a parallel-to-USB cable.
The computer allows me to install the 6L, and the printer appears in “Devices and Printers.” However, I cannot print pages. I checked with the Windows Compatibility Center website, and this printer is supposed to run in Windows 7 without additional drivers. Restarting has not helped.
The HP LaserJet 4000 will not install. I went to HP’s website and found the page for LaserJet 4000 drivers. There are two boxes on this page: “Drivers” and “Universal Print Drivers.” The driver listed under “Drivers” does not have a download button, only an “Obtain Software” link giving me instructions on navigating to the very page I am on. I am not sure what Universal Print Drivers are or if they are what I should be installing.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are Laserjet 4000 drivers available through Windows Update. Go to Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, select the proper port, then click on Windows Update. After a few minutes the list will repopulate, next select HP (not Hewlett-Packard) and select the appropriate driver. Note you will need an appropriate driver for your USB-parallel cable.

Is there driver related to HP Laserjet 4000 PCL 6 that will work with it and Windows 7? (Laser 4000 PCL 6 per se isn't supported by Windows 7.)

Hello,
You may try the 4100 PCL6, it should work

Connecting a HP LaserJet 4000 parallel port to Windows 7 USB port

I have been using a HP LaserJet 4000 via a parallel port for years on a variety of machines / Operating systems without issue. However, having purchased a new Laptop (Windows 7 64bit), there is no parallel port (unsurprisingly). So the question is 'How do I connect my legacy parallel printer to the USB port ?

what do I need to do please to open it on my PC

Are you scanning from the HP Solution Center application? If yes, you can adjust the settings to specifiy the location where the scans are saved.
Follow the steps below:
1. Load the document you want to scan on the scanner glass.
2. Open the Solution Center application.
3. Choose 'Scan Document'.
4. Select the option 'Document to File' or 'Document to File (PDF)'
5. Click on Advanced Document Settings option and then click on 'Save to file save options'.
6. Specifiy the location to send the saved scans on the computer.
7. If you see the option to enable 'Edit the file name of the saved scan', select it.
8. You may also have an option to specify 'how the HP software completes the scan action'. Select 'Launches file explorer'. This will open the folder location where the scan is saved.
Hope this helps.

HT5557 How do I download a purchased book that just came in. It tells me to go to purchases and click download but I cannot locate purchases!

Help, trying to download a book and it tells me to go to purchases. Where is purchases?

It sounds like she may be using a different account then the one that was used to purchase 10.8
If you cannot locate the purchase, contact the iTunes Store so they can help you figure out which account it's attached to.

Purchased upgrade Snow Leopard from Apple and installed, now it says cannot locate my scanner?

Have iMac with OS X version 10.6.3 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 800 MHz DDRw SDRAM. Purchased Mac OSX Snow Leopard and installed the upgrade.
Connected to HP Photosmart C4680. All worked fine until installing Snow Leopard. Now my C4680 will not scan, says it cannot locate the scanner. Reinstalled Snow Leopard with the same results. I tried another Printer, Scanner with the same results. I set both scanners up from the get go but still get the same results. I think S.L left something out. Would appreciate any help.

Unless there are drivers provided by Apple to work with the printer, you're out of luck. The latest drivers provided by Lexmark are for OS X 10.4 Intel. Unfortunately, this can happen when slightly older peripherals and newer software don't mesh.

Clicking on minimized Firefox window willl not restore window and so the window/tabs cannot be accessed even upon closing, saving, and reopening.

Windows 7 shows a preview pane when hovering but clicking on the preview will not restore the window.

I found a workaround. There are probably better ones.

I can open my catalogue and see edited photos but cannot locate

To start off thanks for the help. I have searched but cannot find an answer to my question, I feel I am doomed. I am able to open my catalogue, see my edited thumbnails of photos, but I get the message they are unable to locate. I have performed all steps to find them but I can't. On top of it I KNOW I deleted the place where they were saved because it was in an out of order folder and I was cleaning up my HD. Also I did not back up(mistake I know I'm learning). I have all the original files still, but I guess my question is why can I see the catalogue with all my edits, but can't seem to locate the file, I feel they have to be there somewhere. Is it possible to see these things and still be doomed? Or in fact are they still somewhere to be found? Thanks.

So just to finalize and be clear. I start of with a RAW .NEF file. Start a catalogue with the .NEF files. Then as I edit them they were saved to a destination elsewhere that I have since deleted as . DNG files. I still have all original photos, can see the edited thumbnails which makes sense based on what other have said, but all the time I put into editing through Lightroom is out the window because I deleted the destination files?
If you edited the NEF files, you don't need the DNGs, but you do need the NEF files. Do you still have those?
If you told Lightroom to convert to DNG before editing, then you need the converted DNG files of your original NEFs, not the ones you "saved" (technically there is no "save" command in Lightroom so you couldn't save the files as DNG, and anyway if you mean "exported" then it shouldn't matter if you deleted the exported photos). Do you still have those DNGs that were converted from your original NEF files??
So, if you deleted the exported photos, you haven't lost your editing.
If you have deleted your NEF originals (in the case where you edited the NEF files), or the DNGs converted from your original NEF files and the original NEFs are deleted too (in the case where you edited the DNG files) then your editing is probably intact in the catalog but can't be used as you don't have the original files.

HT4437 I purchased the Pioneer speaker that indicates capability to air play with Apple devices, however it is playing via cord and not wirelessly. I cannot locate the airplay icon on any of my Apple devices (IPad/IPhone). Any suggestions?

Can you tell us exactly which Pioneer speaker it is?

If you need any other drivers or software for your notebook, get them from this model.
Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files though.

Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

Scott,
The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently). Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

Drivers for hp photosmart d5360 and laserjet 4000 in windows 7,needed

i need the drivers for hp photosmart d5360 and laserjet 4000 in windows 7
i have install windows 7 ver 7260 and everything was working fine,,then i have updated to ver 7600
and now my computer does not want to install the drivers,,
any ideas why is not working?
thanks

It does not matter how we got Windows 7 RTM (7600). But if you have to know to answer the questions about drivers, then MSDN Subscribers and Technet Subscribers can download Windows 7 RTM as of August 7. I also have Windows 7 RTM and I now cannot install the HP Laserjet 4000N printer. It used to work with Windows 7 RC but now not with RTM. My printer is located on a Windows Server 2008 based computer. It properly browses and I I can select it from the server list of printers. But it then tells me that I dont have a driver. Where can we get a driver? HP will have the Windows 7 RTM version as well for their driver support.

Can't use HP Laserjet 4000 with Windows 7 or even in XP virtual mode

I've tried everything I can think of; read everything I can find; downloaded drivers, updates, and patches; uninstalled the printer, reinstalled the printer, rebooted, ad nauseum. And I still can't get it to work -- this week, that is. Last week it printed. All the check tests say it should work. In XP Virtual Mode the status menu shows the document printed -- but it must be a virtual copy, because I can't find it. When I try to print in Windows 7, the status menu shows "error" but troubleshooting can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Been using Laserjet 4000 under XP for years. Installed Win 7, downloaded driver from this site http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=14952&pr... but it did not work(Driver not installed).
Coonected to Laptop w/ Vista and it worked fine. Any help is appreciated.

Printing from a 32 bit client in a 64 bit environment (laserjet 4000 n with windows 7)

I have a HP laserjet 4000n connected to a 64 bit windows 7 machine. Another client (32 bit) on my network wants to print to that printer. I saw on the support website instructions for how to do this:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=...
So far, I have installed the 64 bit driver (just re-installed and I can print from the 64 bit server).
I then downloaded the 32 bit driver files (for PCL 5) and saved them.
I then went to the printing properties of the printer and chose advanced drivers and checked the box "x86". The instructions called for finding the file "hpcuXXXc.inf". In the printer driver folder, there were 2 subfolders - one marked 64 bit and inside that folder was a file "hpcu112t.inf" (file ends in "t" not "c") - so I chose that file and pressed ok and got the following error message:
The specified location does not contain the driver HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL5 for the requested processor architecture.
I then downloaded more drivers (for PCL 6 - even though my printer is labelled PCL 5). This time, I got no 64 bit subfolder (only one folder labelled windows vista). However , there WAS a file labelled "hpcu112c" this time - so I chose that and still got the same error message.
Help!?
Thanks.

Phychopomp1,
Windows 7 64 bit is able to run 32 bit programs. However, some programs will have issues.
Have you checked your programs against the Windows 7 compatibility list: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=2394
This should tell you if they are compatible or not with Windows 7 64-bit.
There are compatibility settings that you can try once you have installed the software also. Right click on the shortcut and choose properties, then go to the compatibility tab and try the various OS settings.
If those things fail, then you should try Windows XP Mode (convenience link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx). This will allow you to install your programs in a virtual copy of Windows XP SP3 using Windows Virtual PC. Once XP Mode is installed, when you install your software into it, you will get a shortcut to use the program from your Windows 7 start menu without even seeing the XP Mode window.
Hope this helps,
