HP LaserJet 4L printer cannot print from Windows 7

I currently bought a new computer and wanted to connect my old printer to my new computer. I bought a new USB cable cord in order to connect my old printer to my new computer. The model of my printer is HP LaserJet 4L. However, after I put everything together, I tried to print the test page. The computer popped up an error message saying that the document was unable to print. Can someone help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
Mala

From this document it appears you have to perform a Windows Update to get the driver.

Problem Connecting to Shared Printer on Leopard from Windows XP

Hey guys,
Just installed Leopard yesterday, and I have a Canon PIXMA MP160 printer connected via USB.
I have set the printer to be Shared, and enabled Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
However, when I try and connect to the printer from a Windows XP laptop, it says: Access Denied, Unable to Connect.
I imagine that this is because I would have provide a username / password combo in order to access the network resources on my Leopard machine. I just can't figure out how to send the credentials, or disable the login necessity if needs be.
If this isn't the problem, or if it cannot be fixed then the alternative is to connect the printer to my router, which shares it via SMB. Now that's fine when I want to connect to it from Windows, but I can't figure out a way to set it up on Leopard.
The MP160 driver that comes with Leopard isn't marked as "Modern" which, according to the documentation means that it cannot be used to install IP or Windows Shared printers.
So my question is, to sum up, is there a way to fix the access problem when trying to access a shared printer on Leopard from Windows, and is there any way I can install and use the printer from Leopard while its shared from my Router via SMB?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I just thought it would be helpful to say that I'm able to connect and browse through SMB shares from Windows Systems, and I'm able to connect and browse through shared volumes on Leopard from Windows. It's just the printing that's not playing fair.

I had Bonjour for Windows working on two XP machines before I upgraded to Leopard. After that when the Bonjour printer would not work I deleted it from the XP machines and re-ran the Bonjour Setup App. It can find the printer every time, but it will not finish and will give me an error instead.
I've also verified that I have Printer Sharing turned on and the printer is specifically set to be shared. I'm out of ideas.
Has anyone heard reports of Bonjour 1.0.4 not working with Leopard or just being buggy under similar circumstances? If that's not the problem, then I must be missing something. Suggestions welcome.

EPrint won't print web pages from Windows 8 Microsoft Surface tablet

ePrint won't print web pages from Windows 8 (x64) Microsoft Surface tablet Any ideas?

Hello JereTanner,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to print web pages from a Surface tablet. What model of printer are you trying to print to? Also, Is there an error, message, etc, when you try to print? Typically, ePrint is used when printing eMails or forwarding documents / pictures to the printers eMail address, is this how you are trying to print the web page? Since this is a Windows 8 Operating System, you may be able to install full feature software and print that way. When I know more about how you are trying to print, what happens when you try and what printer you are using, I will be able to better help. Cheers,

Laserjet 1020. Cannot print with Internet Explorer 9

I have downloaded the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and now find that I cannot print emails with my HP Laserjet 1020. Previously when using IE8 printing was OK. I use Windows Live Mail and Windows Vista as my OS. I also have an Epson printer that works OK with IE9 and Live Mail but the HP does not. I would like to keep IE9 if possible

Hi ATOL,
It sounds like you might be selecting properties instead of "printer properties".
Double check and make sure that you're selecting "printer properties" from the list.

Printing on cp1518 from Windows 7 photo viewer creates lines across print

When I click on a jpeg it opens in Windows 7 photo viewer. If I click on print, and select the HP universal print driver PCL 6, to print on an HP 1518, I get the print but with thin lines spaced about an inch apart, running the lengh of the print.
If I do the same print on my inkjet, the lines do not appear.
I should mention that I'm using HP photo paper.

Hi helson,
Just noticed the last line of your post about using HP Photo paper.
Before switching the driver, make sure you are selecting the correct paper type in the print driver when you print on the Photo Paper. The printer cannot automatically detect the paper type loaded in the tray. For example, when you click Print, a print dialog will appear, choose the Preferences or Properties button in the dialog. This will open the print driver Printing Preferences. Click the Paper/Quality tab and find the Paper Type drop down and choose the appropriate paper type or the closest match.
Also make sure your HP Photo Paper can be used on LaserJet printers. If it is InkJet only don't use it on LaserJets. The package should tell you if it is safe for LaserJets. LaserJets use heat to fuse the toner to the page.
Hope this helps

How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

Corleone
I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G. This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G. I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work. I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server. Am I missing a step?
Here is what I've done
Go to ports
Add new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Click new port (Wizard comes up)
Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
LPR Byte count box checked
Click next and finish
Do I need to restart my computer?
What am I missing
Thank you

Elements 11 will not print to my epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1

Elements 11 will not print to my Epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading to windows 8.1 from windows 8

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques. E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.) For example.

No printing via Bonjour from Windows

Windows PCs can't print via my Tiger server using Bonjour. The printers shared by the server are visible in the Bonjour add new printer wizard. When printing the jobs are sent from the Windows PCs without error messages. But nothing gets printed.
The same queues work fine from Macs.
Looked for the print server logs, but the only logs for the queues are for Appletalk, and they are empty. The server is set not to share any of the print queues via Appletalk.
Tried printing via SMB, but no luck there either.
Printing from Windows directly to the printers using Bonjour works.
Tested turning of the server firewall, but this did not help.
Any ideas waht could be wrong?

Since you can print directly to them from Windows via Bonjour I am wondering how you are sharing the printer from the server. My guess is that it is via 'Print & Fax' of System Preferences. If the printers support LPR, then I would suggest you configure the server printers this way. Go to Server Admin > Print > Settings and enable LPR and 'Show name in Bonjour'. This will give you more control over the printers.
If you have shared the printers this way and since SMB also fails, then I would ensure you haven't enabled print quotas for the queue. This can make jobs vanish.
Even if you are using 'Print & Fax' to share the printer, you still should be able to see the cups error log. In the Server Admin, select Print, then select Logs and then for the Show menu select error log. This is the same log for both methods of shared printers and this should give some clues as to why the Windows spool files are not printing.

Printing after Migration from Windows to Linux

We have just migrated 11.5.2 from Windows to Linux. I am not sure how to setup printers. In windows we simply had a UNC pointing to our Windows Printer Server and the Printers Queue. This was in the Printer Column and the Type was HPLJ4SI in the Type column under Install > Printer > Register....like this:
\\MYCOPRT03\PTS2245
Not sure what to put in linux. Currently we are getting this error:

HP OfficeJet 6500 E709a: cannot scan from Windows 8.1; uninstall crashes at step 8 of 10

When I try to scan from Windows 8.1, launched from the HP Solution Center, it fails before giving me a preview, saying:
Scanning error
4,[(2,22,80040001),(3,22,0)]
When I run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and select "Fix Scan", it fails on the first check, saying it failed to find the driver. The text field that gets uploaded to HP includes the string "hpbxpsrender.dll: Not Found".
I tried uninstalling, using uninstall.bat in the "OJ_AIO_6500_E709_EntScruber_140" (HP OfficeJet Enterprise 14.0), which I downloaded from HP.com. It gets to step 8 of 10 ("removing unnecessary components..."); then it hangs and Windows 8.1 says "HP Installer Uninstaller has stopped working" and kills it.
I have tried running uninstaller in regular mode, in regular mode with my anti-virus / firewall (Kaspersky) paused (disabled), and in Safe Mode with Networking. Same result every time.
I have run the Installer without error. I can view the HP OJ status web page in my browser (http://192.168.1.5) from both computers.
I don't remember if scanning has ever worked on this computer. Scanning works on another computer (Windows XP). Both computers are wired (Ethernet) to the same network switch as the HP OJ.

Printer cannot print after disabling SNMP

I need to disable SNMP for network security reasons. After doing so from the web configuration page of my P2035N printer, network users cannot print to this printer. It shows as 'offline', even on the web page. We have tried restarting the printer, as well as the print spooler on the server. It is connected via TCP/IP, IPv4.

Working on the assumption that you had an older version of the Canon CAPT driver installed on this Mac before you installed 10.8, I suggest that you open Finder and trash the following files. Note that if you haven't done the reset that Greg has suggested, you will need to open Print & Scan and remove the current LBP6000 printer.
Mac HD > Library > Printers > Canon > CUPSCAPT (trash this entire folder)
Mac HD > Library > LaunchAgents > jp.co.canon.CUPSCAPT.BG.plist
Mac HD > Library > Caches > Canon > CUPSCAPT > CCPD > ccpd.conf
With the above files removed, restart your Mac and then run the CAPT v3.60 installer again. Then add the LBP6000 in Print & Scan and then see if you can print without error.

Cannon LBP6000 printer cannot print after installing os x 10.8.3

No borderless printing; cannot print via imagebrowser...Please...help!

I can no longer print 4x5 borderless photos (or any photos) from imagebrowser to my i850 canon printer. I have version 6.0.2.38(7L) of Imagebrowser with Leopard installed on my Mac. I select the print option, and then it says to click on Page Setup for borderless printing. The only option I get there is 4x6 (with a border)??? There is no 4x6 borderless like I used to have with the old imagebrowser and system. I set up the print dialogue box to select the "best" picture (used to have a setting for high quality pictures???) and then I click on "Print" and nothing happens. It never goes to printer and I can't cancel or anything. I have to do a force quit. How do I just print a 4x6 borderless print using Imagebrowser on my Mac??????? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!!!

I am not sure where to look for these drivers.
Both the Canon v4.8.3 and Gutenprint v5.1.3 are included with Leopard
I went to the Canon web site and downloaded the latest driver v4.8.3 and it put it where it needs to go but doesn't tell you where that is.
It would try to copy them to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter, but since the same files for this version would already there be, it might not do this unless the file being added are newer. It should also copy the package installer for the 4.8.3 to /Library/Receipts.
Anyway, when I went back into Imagebrowser I now have a much shorter list of options, plus do have the 4x6 borderless now. I click on Page Setup in Imagebrowser and select this, but when I go out of there and click on "Print" absolutely nothing happens. I still can't print from Imagebrowser. I use Quarkexpress and can print on plain paper fine so I know the printer works, but cannot print from within Imagebrowser for glossy prints. Any ideas what I may need to do?
Not really. I used v6.1 in my testing. Maybe your v6.0.x has a problem with 10.5. Also, if you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and didn't do a clean install of ImageBrowser, then maybe this is causing the failed printing.
You mentioned you can print on plain paper from Quark. Can you print on plain paper from ImageBrowser?
My last suggestion would be to view the cups error log. With the i850 printer queue open, select Printer then Logs & History. This may give some clues as to why ImageBrowser is not working for you...
