Hp laserjet 5p printer requires laptop to be resatred every day?

Although I installed the driver downloaded from HP site for my Laserjet 5P printer, I am only able to print if I restart the laptop on a daily basis. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you,

Sorry that you are having this issue. How are you connected, USB or wireless?
Next time, try to stop and restart your printer spooler.
1. Click START MENU
2. RIGHT CLICK on COMPUTER
3. Choose MANAGE
4. Select Services and Applications
5. Choose Services
6. Scroll down to Print Spooler. Stop it and restart it. Also make sure it is on AUTOMATIC.
Then try to print, before restarting the computer.

LASERJET 1160 PRINTER RUNS A BLANK PAGE BETWEEN EVERY PRINTED PAGE AFTER UPGRADING TO WINDOWS 8.1

Laserjet 1160 printer runs a blank page between every printed page after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

HP Laserjet 1300 began requiring "lpadmin" password to print. Formerly, no problem.

My HP Laserjet 1300 printer formerly printed with no problems. Suddenly, it began requiring "lpadmin password" before continuing to print. It does this regardless of the originating application (Word, Excel, Entourage, Adobe Acrobat). I have tried unplugging the printer and restarting my computer (MacBook Pro circa 2009 running OS 10.5.8) without success. I am wondering if the "lpadmin password" is a remnant from a prior user? I originally bought this printer as a surplus from a computer consultant who was upgrading a business's printers. Does anyone know how to circumvent/eliminate the "lpadmin password"? Thanks, Ken

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.

Hp officejet 4500 wireless won't print from laptop. It is connected to laptop.It prints from desktop

We have a HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer which was first installed in 2011 without any problems. We also utilize a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (not wireless) with our network. I cannot print from my laptop to either printer, but hubby's desktop has no problem. Both printers stopped working for my laptop at the same time. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I could no longer print directly from my Dell Inspiron laptop. When I check on the connectivity of both printers to my laptop, the information tells me the printers are connected to my laptop.
My husband has a Dell desktop (our main computer).
I have tried everything I know to fix this problem, including shutting down the desktop, my laptop, the router, and the printers (including disconnecting the printers from the desktop with the cords that connect to the printers). I have followed all instructions on how to restart the entire system...plug the router in, plug in the printers & turn them on, and lastly restart both computers.
I am not what one would call "computer savvy"; as a matter of fact, I am quite computer-challenged. If any of you can tell me in extremely-easy-to-understand language what to do, I would appreciate your help.

Hi,
Pleae download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor utility which should resolve most of printing issues.

HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer

I really love my HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer but haven't been able to successfully install it in my brand new MacBook Air 1.7 despite several attempts.
I have downloaded the correct Firmware Upgrade 20120928 v2.4 from HP Drivers web page. Unlocked RFU to ON position and installed the firmware. Added HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer via USB, as required and my MacBook correctly identifies it as such. Though the driver I have chosen is HP Color LaserJet 2605 since the one for 1600 is not available in the database. The printer responds positively during the upgrade but later does not print. I can see the print command being transmitted to the printer but it stays dead.
Please help and let me know stepwise how to do it correctly.

Just upgraded my printer to HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw.... Problem solved.

HP laserjet m1005 printer

I have never understood how printing works in linux and this adds to my woes while installing printers. I have this HP printer and am using cups 1.6. Once
the printer is plugged in I can see the following with dmesg
[ 2.629357] usb 2-1.6: new low-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
[ 3.980041] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x3B17
[ 3.980060] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp
I assume that this means that the kernel detected that a printer was plugged in and registered an "interface driver" (I do not know what an "interface driver"
is). Now, cups needs to detect this printer. I do not understand why it does not? I mean, the kernel has already identified it as a printer.
Then, I am confused about what hp-setup does. In the wiki about cups, hp-setup was not mentioned. Nevetheless, when I run hp-setup as root I find that
it detects the connected printer
Using device: hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_M1005?serial=KJ2SR56
but it has its own issues: all this mess about python2, python3 and python-dbus. May be I will be able to install this printer by reading "n" number of forums
but I want to understand the process of printing right from the point I connect my printer so that I can be satisfied that I have learnt something. Can
somebody please explain what is this process in simple terms ? Please let me know if any other information is needed regarding my printer.

The "interface driver" is usblp, which is the kernel module that creates (I believe) /dev/usb/lp0. I'm not 100% sure about the device location, because I've had issues with CUPS 1.6 and my printer doesn't like the usblp kernel module.

As 12eason suggested, you probably won't need to do much to get your printer working. Judging by a quick Google search, it doesn't appear that your printer requires the firmware to be uploaded to the device at connect time. That means hp-setup probably won't do much for you beyond setting up the print queue in CUPS if you follow through the entire series of questions. It doesn't work on my printer (HP LaserJet 1020, requires firmware), but it may on yours. Check your /etc/cups/printers.conf for entries after you've run through the entirety of hp-setup.
jpvarma wrote:Can somebody please explain what is this process in simple terms ? Please let me know if any other information is needed regarding my printer.
Truth be told, you might be better off asking this on a CUPS-related mailing list. CUPS is complicated software and the process is further affected by which backends you have available (hplip adds new ones, for instance).
Are you mostly interested in how CUPS works or are you having issues getting it to work with your printer? I suspect the latter, but I'm also curious what you got out of the Arch Wiki on CUPS and what you've tried (you have tried using the web interface to add the printer, haven't you?).
In short: Just because the kernel is reporting a printer attached doesn't mean it knows how to print to it (it doesn't--the kernel isn't responsible for that anymore than it should be responsible for HTTP). That's the job of CUPS. You also have to have CUPS configured with the correct PPDs for your printer since, AFAIK, CUPS essentially treats all printers as PostScript devices; the backends and PPDs simply translate PS to the native protocol of the printer (mine is a Zjstream protocol printer, which requires either hplip or foo2zjs--yours is different). If CUPS isn't configured (read the wiki; also, you may need to futz with /etc/cups/cupsd.conf if you have trouble accessing http://localhost:631), it won't print, regardless of what the kernel is reporting.

HP Laserjet 1020 printer not printing at all

I have this HP Laserjet 1020 printer that I loaned to a friend when her computer died and since I got it back no matter what I do it won't print on my desktop (HP Pavilion Media Center a1324n Desktop PC) it prints without problem with my laptop and I've done nothing to the laptop to make it work etc, however on my desktop I've uninstalled, re-installed and downloaded all the latest drivers etc trying to get it to work but without success.
When I hit the print button, the green ready light is on, then briefly the red trouble light goes on, the printer starts whirring, then the red light goes off, the green light stays on the whole time and the unit stops whirring. I check the print status box it shows the print job in the que as printing but nothing is happening so I sit and wait for a while (a couple of minutes) and then out of frustration I cancel and delete the print job, turn the printer off, the print job disappears from the print dialogue box and I turn the printer back on it whirs and the does nothing. I've repeated this process multiple times and then I pull my hair out. Now I'm bald. I used to look like Brad Pit (in my dreams) help me before I start looking like golum in lord of the rings.

That is pretty straightforward. The printer does not respond to the print command. Help!!!!

HP LaserJet P1102w - printer offline - Windows Vista ??

We have a new HP printer LaserJet P1102w and my laptop has Windows Vista. I am unable to print - message is always "printer offline" - can anyone assist with how to fix this issue. I would appreciate any help - we are totally unable to use this pirnter. Thanks!

Hello,
According to the information you provided, it is really difficult to diagnostic the issue. But there are several things may good for you to check:
1. Did the printer work before? If yes, you may seeking what' the difference may lead to this offline issue.
2. How do you connect P1102w to your PC? I suggest that you use USB connection to test
3. If you connect it via wireless, could you double check whether the router working fine?
4. Please make sure the printer is power on and connected to the PC successfully, otherwise "offline" is the accurate status for it.
Hope it helps.

Hi.
Follow these steps to install the printer:

Airport Express Base Station and HP Laserjet 1020 printer connected

Dear all,
I have a Laptop (PC) Sony Vaio PCG-Z1XSP and an Airport Express Base Station which work perfectly together (internet access and I-tunes). I recently bought a printer HP Laserjet 1020 and connected it to the Airport Express USB soket. I managed to make it work and print a couple of times, but as soon as I turn off the printer or the computer or Airport Express, the next time I want to print, it doesn't work anymore.
The Airport Admin Utility recognises the printer (I can see it listed). I have updated the Airport Express software to the Firmware version 6.3 as well as downloaded the latest driver available on HP's website for my printer. I've also substituted the USB cable. Can anybody help me here? Thank you very much and best regards.

Hallo everybody,
Thanks for all the answers. I have contacted HP's chat online and gone through the problem with 3 different technicians. I've tried a lot myself too. The issue was partially solved by restarting the printer spooler, i.e. stop, then start and then restart it.
However after I was so happy that the printer worked, I turn off everything. When I turn on again, it was not working anymore. Then I tried to see by exclusion what the problem is, I had to restart the Hardwar I don't know how many times.
Conclusion:
1. The USB cable must be plugged into the airport express before turning on anything.
2. Turn on the printer first.
3. Turn on the airport express and the computer.
4. If you try to print it doesn't work, even if you reset the airport express through the airport express utility software. The printer is recognized and appears in it though.
5. Disconnect the USB cable from the airport express and connect it to the PC directly.
6. Print a document.
7. Disconnect the cable and reconnect it to the airport express.
8. Now you should be able to print wireless. You may need to reset the airport expresst with the utility softwar, but I managed to print without having to do it.
9. The pörinter works even if you turn off and on again the computer, or you suspend the windows session and restart it, or if you put it in standby and restart it.
10. The printer works even if you turn off the airport express and the computer, or the airport express alone and restart them/it.
11. The printer doens't work anymore if you turn it off and onn again. In such a case you have to plug in/out as discribeb above.
Solution: Leave the printer always on, or make the plug in/out every morning when you start the computer and print one page direclty before being able to print wireless.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I mean it prints, but it is annoying to plug in/out every day, no?
HP's technician says that it is not a recommanded solution the HP Laserjet 1020 with the airport express, since the printer works on a host based server basis... I mean it is easy to say that, but one expects to buy a printer that works always and not to have to plug in/out everyday, restart spooler and so on.
Can anybody comment or suggest anything I can do to avoid this? Thank you and I hope this helps others too.
