HP Laserjet Color 3600n Driver for Windows 7

according to HP's compatibility lists, there will be no support for HP Laserjet Color 3600n under Windows 7.
Is this really true and if so, for heaven's sake why?
We bought this device not so long ago for our small business office and waited desperately for upgrading computers and devices to windows 7, but it seems HP won't support this well doing business printer under windows 7.
Does it costs so much effort to adapt Vista driver to work under windows 7?

Cracked it! My 3600n is printing from a wireless Windows 7 pc.
I was trying about three things at once, so future posters may be able to work through what I've done and simplify this by taking out unnecessary steps.
1. Find a PC on your network that is still running XP and has the 3600n attached as a network printer. On this PC, share the printer as CLJ3600.
2. On the Win 7 PC, download the Universal Printer Driver from HP support (I used the one provided under laserJet 3700, as this seemed closest in number to what I wanted - but as it's named "universal", maybe there is only one anyway). Run the executable. It wants to set up a printer, but will fail to set up the 3600n as it can't find a Win_7 driver.
3. On the Win 7 PC install a new printer - choose the option "shared printer" and select the CLJ3600 share that you created on your XP machine. The set up pulls a load of XP drivers across to your Win_7 machine. Test this shared printer with Print A Test Page from the Properties tab.
4. Now go back to a program you want to print from in Win_7 (I used Picassa to prove it worked on printing a photo) and print to the normal HP LaserJet 3600 printer that was on your PC before you upgraded it to Win_7. Hey Presto! Win_7 prints to the HP LJ3600.
Hope that is more help than HP have been so far. If I had needed to buy a new printer you can GUARANTEE it would have been anything but an HP one after all the help they've been here.
Happy hacking!

Hp laserjet 1020 plus driver for windows 98

i want to download hp lasejet1020 plus driver for windows 98 ,on hp site win98 operating system are not available on list.
Please send me driver on my email,because still i am using win98 for some necessary work which are not supported on upper verson.

I did some research and found at one point Win 98, Win ME, and Win 2000 all used the same driver for this printer (atleast from what i could ascertain). Given that information, I would assume that the current available Win 2000 driver MAY work for Win 98 (can't be certain as I do not have a Laserjet 1020 plus to test this). Here is a link to that software if you wish to try it:

Laserjet 1000 printer driver for windows 8.1

Need help to locate a printer driver for my laserjet 1000. Thanks for the help...

If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n Color Printer driver for Window NT

Hi All,
Good day. I'm here to seek for help.
Currently i bought a HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n Color Printer, but i want it to use at Window NT.
I need driver to run this printer at Window NT. Anyone can help and advice me? Thanks.

Hi,
The printer is not compatible with Windows NT, it is supported on Windows XP or later operating systems.
You might be able to get print capabilities through the network by using an alternative drivers:
Download and extract the drivers for the Laserjet 5550 below, which uses the same printing language:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=406807&swItemId=lj_23425_2&swEnvOid=24
Ensure the printer is connected to the network, from the setup menu select Reports > Config Report and locate the IP address of the printer.
From the control panel add a printer, select a local printer and create a new Standard TCP/IP port by using the printer's IP address.
From the printers list select Have disk and browse to the Laserjet 5550 drivers.

Shlomi

Driver for Windows 7 pc that is not directly connected to p1102w LaserJet

Hi!
I just installed the HP LaserJet P1102w printer. My Windows XP computers all recognized the printer immediately.
It is installed as a wireless on our secure home network.
When I tried installing on the Windows 7 professional 64-bit computer, it "sees" the printer, but cannot find the correct driver. Where can I find that?
Thanks!
donna

I am afraid that the P1102w's driver has been checked-in MS OS, I guess what happened on your Windows XP computers is somehow the driver has been pre-loaded on it. Back to your question on Where can I find the driver for Windows 7 64, there are several ways,
1. Smart Install printer by printer - when plug-in USB cabel to your PC, the driver installation instruction should be able guide you install the driver
2. Use the CD in box
3. Please go to hp.com to download the proper driver for Win7 OS.
Hope it helps.

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:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=238322&p...
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.

CORRECT DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7 AND HP COLOR LASER JET 4600dn

I'm having a problem with our IT department. My old 4600dn worked great until they started downloading new drivers for Windows 7, which they installed just recently. Now the one he INSISTS I use has only one tray selection.... Auto. I'm trying to print business cards..(absolutely no problem till now).... but he INSISTS that this is the only driver. Then he wants me to choose Pg.....select 1, then MANUAL DUPLEX. That's almost impossible for the printer. I'm almost POSITIVE you have a print driver that will allow me the tray selections I had before he installed Windows 7 and this particular driver. I always used "Tray 1," CURRENT PAGE, it zoomed through the perforated cardstock like a streak!!!! Now, the poor printer is trying to run perforated cardstock through the duplexing unit. Out of 10 pages of cards, I ended up with 1 front printed and 9 pieces of cardstock that stuck in the tray and jammed in the duplexing unit. Is there a CORRECT print driver for this particular printer that will allow all my normal functions to be visible and viable? I don't have the model, nor serial #, as it is work printer and I'm at home now, so I can't get on chat. He is hard to get along with and has been playing games this whole time. I found one driver he inadvertantly left a day and a half ago and printed the cards like lightening, as it used to....7 minutes and I had 200 cards for two different staff members. PLEASE HELP! I think he's leading me down a merry path. It also has to be able to duplex fairly heavy graphic pages...and even the driver he accidently left as an option, won't print the graphics. I just KNOW you have a driver with all the options that will allow it to print to Windows 7 Operating System with all the former options. HELLLLLLLP!
Thanks sooooo much!

Installing HP Laser Jet 5 driver for Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit

I had an issue with installing an HP LaserJet 5 printer to a WIndows 7 64-bit box. I thought I would post my experience and solution to this problem so that others can quickly resolve similar issues.
If you connect as I did with a Parallel Printer-to-USB cable, then Win-7 searches for drivers automatically. But none werre found. However, using "Add Printer" via Control Panel/View Devices and Printers/Printers and Faxes, then left click starts the process for finding and installing the HP driver needed.
No need as others have suggested to go to HP Support Center to install their Universal Printing PCL 5 driver found here:
www1.hp.com/...Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5/
Hope this helps speed you on your way!

Thanks for sharing your tip RatioCynic! That's what this forum is all about!
Happy printing!
Thanks!
