I am having a difficult experience with the Hp 2055dn too and if since 2009 you have found no reponse, then the HP laser 2055 has a deep problem especially for Vists users like me. Since I cannot get it to print mirror images with the 2050 driver provided, I tried to download the PS driver but the 16MB times out.
I am regreting this buy unless someone comes to my rescue, pronto.

    It appears your printer is a commerical LaserJet printer.
    You may get a better reponse by posting in the commercial LaserJet forums.

  • HP LaserJet 4 Postscript driver on Intel MacBook Pro

    I have an HP Laserjet 4M printer (with a JetDirect card) on my network. On my other Macs (PowerBook G4, PowerMac G4, Mac Mini PPC) all running 10.4 I set the printer up and was able to use the 'HP Laserjet 4/4M PostScript' (v1.1.0.X) driver. The support site lists printer drivers included with 10.4 and lists the 'HP LasderJet 4/4M PostScript' driver (v1.1.0.X) as being part of the HP printer package provided with 10.4 - I assume that is what I'm using on these machines. I just got a new MacBook Pro with 10.4 and can't find the HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript driver anywhere - I've tried to re-load the HP printer drivers from the install CD and it says they are already installed. When I choose the model in the printer setup utility I see the LJ 4 Gimp driver but not the other. I've currently set it up with the Generic PostScript driver, but that doesn't have any of the model specific options that the HP driver has. Are the printer drivers that are supplied with 10.4 different for PowerPC vs Intel Macs? Or am I not looking in the right place for the driver?
    TIA

    Hi Ben,
    Well done with finding the file. Based on your info I searched the PPD folder and found the LaserJet 4.gz, which after unpacking and opening saw that it was ppd for the HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript 600DPI entry I could see in the printer list under HP.
    As to how this file got there I cannot say for sure. I would have said that it was part of the 10.4.6 DVD that came with the MacBook Pro. But after checking a new Mini, I found it doesn't have this file? So, I know I have previously run a HP installer to help a forum postee. Maybe the LaserJet 4.gz was added by this installer. Certainly the 'Date Modified' field is different to the other HP files (04/03/2005 vs 17/11/2005) and it is the only file with this date. Very weird!!
    Looking at the ppd there is reference to five printer driver plug-ins;
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpColorOptions.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpEdgeToEdge.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpFinishing.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpImageQuality.plugin"
    *APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpProofAndPrint.plugin"
    Now, all of these files are present on my Mac and when I looked at the info of these files I found there are written in Universal. Checking the Mini again, I found the same files, also in Universal, so it looks like the plug-ins are part of the OS X 10.4.6 install. So, if the LaserJet 4.gz file was added by a different installer, it is interesting that it makes use of these plugins that are already present.
    Anyway, we may never now the answer but the concern now is that you have a speed/quality issue using the ppd. The fact that you took this file from a PPC Mac won't be the issue. A ppd is just a text file describing a variety of options for the printer. But if you don't have those plugins mentioned earlier then that could cause delays and the quality issue, because the option to set the 600dpi quality is within these plugins. The other thing could be that the ppd you obtained from the PPC Mac wants to use different files to the ones you do have. Open the ppd using TextEdit - you should see something near the top like above (or the exact thing). Look at where the files should be and check that they are there.
    The other thing I noticed is that the ppd is calling an old version of the PostScript Interpreter (v2011.110), which is Level 2. I'm not sure how well the Intel Mac's work with level 2, maybe additional instructions are required or Rosetta has to be used which is causing delays in the file creation and therefore the spooling? Without a PSLvl2 device I cannot confirm this, but it may explain why the PPC's are spooling faster than the Intel. A test could be to set the Universal application to open using Rosetta. I would use TextEdit, and with it still set to Universal, print a few pages and time it. Then, set TextEdit to open using Rosetta (by doing a Get Info on the application icon) and print the same file. If there is no difference then my idea is rubbish and there must be something else. But if it does make a difference, then you have a workaround. Although I personally believe that slowing your Mac so that the spooling appears quicker is not the answer. Might be time to invest in a brand new HP...

  • Is my HP LaserJet 1300 postscript compatible with Mac 10.9 Mavericks?

    I am using a LaserJet 1300 with Windows XP.  Because Microsoft does not support XP anymore, I must buy a new computer.  I am considering changing to the iMac, but I love my 1300 postscript printer.  The Mac sales rep said to find out if HP 1300 has drivers that are compatible with 10.9 Mavericks. 
    I've searched the Internet and even called customer support.  The customer rep was in India or somewhere.  I could not understand what he was saying.  Would appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The Laserjet 1300 is supported on Mavericks, as you may find listed for the HP LaserJet 1300 Series below:

  • LaserJet 4M PostScript print quality/functionality

    I have a LaserJet4M, connected to my Mac (and all my other machines) using its ethernet JetDirect card.
    My problem is that the PostScript driver for the 4M appears to have disappeared. Printing with the generic PostScript driver works only for simple documents. Printing with the Gutenprint driver results in poor quality output. (Gutenprint has never given me good output for graphics, rather than text, with this printer.)
    Has anyone figured out how to get the PostScript driver for the 4M/4M-Plus from previous OS X releases to work with Snow Leopard?
    Apple -- you've really dropped the ball here.

    The PPDs in question are already present on the newer machine.
    I tried both the LaserJet 5M and LaserJet 4ML drivers, with no real change.
    Any PostScript sent (from Preview, for example) yields
    "ERROR: invalidfont
    OFFENDING COMMAND: show
    STACK:
    The old iBook G4 and the Windows machines all print PostScript just fine.

  • HP LaserJet 1160 & Postscript

    Does the 1160 support Postscript printing?

    I have just been given an HP Laserjet 1160 with no drivers or documentation. I have, through trial and error found that the PCL 5 universal driver is the only one that I can use with this printer on Win7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    While not a definitive answer, I conclude the PS driver does not work on this printer with Win7 64 bit. Hope this helps.

  • HP Laserjet 1300n: Postscript? PCL? too slow

    Hello,
    I have a Laserjet 1300n (max memory, 80 MB) connected with USB 1.1 to my iMac 2.4 GHz.
    If I print only text the printer is fast, no problems at all. As soon as an image or logo or any bitmap appears, the printer slows down, a lot: one minute per page (before starting the print) is easily reached and I have to wait often more.
    How can that be? I read somewhere that CUPS rasterizes the data before sending it to the printer, but the iMac-processor used is almost nothing.
    I also connected the printer to a netbook Celeron 900 MHz... it printed *instantly*. I was surprised and envy, of course.
    Now I think the printer is getting the data in postscript format and maybe it takes too much for the internal processor to rasterize it, but how to change the mode in Snow Leopard? If CUPS can rasterize, SL should be able too. Where should I look for this setting? I found nothing.
    As side question, I also wonder in which cases does the internal memory help speed: I maxed it because I got 64 MB for few euros, but not much changed. Maybe it helps only when using raster data, taking more memory than Postscript commands/data? I'm not an expert in this field.
    Thank you in advance for the help.

    Thanks, I didn't know about that driver.
    I think that now everything gets rendered locally, since the printer queue shows a percentage increasing during the rendering.
    I am still not 100% satisfied, since the gutenprint driver tops at 600 dpi while the PS driver can also go to 1200 dpi (I can see the difference) and the images are now too dark (the dithering technique changed, ordered patterns from PS reproduce grays more accurately, at expense of resolution), but I think this is the best I can get from the printer when connected to a Mac, so that's it.

  • HP Laserjet 2600xi new drivers prints garbage spits out blanks

    A friend called me about this problem and all I knew to do was to get the latest drivers and install them after removing all traces of old HP software. They're using an eMac with OS 10.4.11. The problem may have a simple solution. When they send a file to print, at first there is a page of 'garbage' printed followed by the printer just 'spitting out' blank sheets until they turn it off.
    Any ideas to try? It could be a corrupt spool folder I suppose but don't know where to look for the file.
    Thanks

    Thanks, Greg. You are right that the 2600xi is Photosmart rather than Laserjet. I was just passing on the info given me by the owner who is frankly clueless. He asked my advice because I'm somewhat more experienced. I don't know how the rpinter was added to the Print & Fax pref pane.
    As far as using the HP drivers I've gotten them to install new ones and had them look to see if the printer was recognized in the Printer Setup Utility.app. It was and that's the last time I talked to them. I may have to go and make a house call. Thanks for your information and advice. I'll get back with any update.

    for a HP Laserjet 4500 Desktop
    however after the installation has been completed and the section to where you can connect as a USB or wireless is given. I have selected to connect with a USB and the scanner will not show as connected when the installed of drivers have been checked and ready.
    I have checked the device manager to see if the were installed drivers for the scanner but still not shown. I have checked to see if the scanner was in the view scanners and cameras menu and still none is connected.
    I have powered off the HP and reconnected to another USB and reboot still not being recognized. 
    I am installing the wrong driver? Is there a step that I am missing? Can you help with a link to the correct software and or driver?
    Thank you for your help and time!

  • EXPERT DAY REQUEST!!!!! Laserjet M602 postscript feature values (specifica​lly, "setpagede​vice")?

    Pasted previously on the Community Home/Printing and Digital Imaging/Printers - LaserJet forum but thought I'd take advantage of the "HP Expert Day" and so am copying the posting on the "printer and all-in-ones" board:
    I have just spent two hours trying without success to find the values that the Laserjet M602 recognises in the postscript "%%BeginFeature" dictionary block for "setpagedevice"; to select the input tray mostly but other stuff in general. Does anyone know where this info can be found? I don't have much hair left to pull out...!
    NB I'm on UK time (i.e. Pacific time + 8 hours...)

  • HP Color Laserjet 2820 Scanning Drivers

    Win 7 (64bit).  HP Color LaserJet 2820.  Using Windows drivers (since HP doesn't have any).
    Problem: Since Window's own software does not scan to PDF I want to use a 3rd party program.  I've tried many (from vendors and Sourceforge).  But, every one hangs when trying to use Microsoft's scanning driver for the 2820.  Right now I'm using Microsoft's software to scan to JPG, then Adobe Photoshop to convert to PDF.
    If anyone out there has found scan-to-PDF software that works with the 2820, I would love to know about it.
    Thanks.

    Hello Agal59,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP Color Laserjet 2820 is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.

  • ANNOUNCEMENT!! Updated Windows PostScript Drivers Available (6/24/2001)

    On June 22, 2001, Adobe Systems Incorporated posted Version 1.0.4 of the Adobe Universal Windows PostScript Driver Installer on its web site at:
    It is available for fifteen languages.
    Depending upon the version of Windows on which it is run upon, it installs and updates the PostScript driver as follows:
    Windows'95, Windows'98, and Windows ME
    - AdobePS 4.5.1
    Windows'NT 4
    - AdobePS 5.2 (plus AdobePS 4.5.1 for download to
    Windows'95, Windows'98, and Windows Me clients
    of network printers)
    Windows 2000
    - PSCRIPT5 5.2 (plus AdobePS 4.5.1 for download to
    Windows'95, Windows'98, and Windows Me clients
    AND AdobePS 5.2 for Windows NT 4 clients
    of network printers)
    These are the same versions of the drivers that ship with Adobe Acrobat 5. To create new printer driver instances, users of Acrobat 5 should NEVER use earlier versions of the Adobe Universal Windows PostScript Driver Installer than that on the Acrobat 5 CDROM or this version. These drivers have features REQUIRED for proper coordination of the PostScript driver with Acrobat Distiller 5.
    Note that the PSCRIPT 5 5.2 driver provided in this installer is NEWER than the driver in the Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2. Good news - running either of those service packs will NOT overwrite this newer version of PSCRIPT 5 with an older version if you run this installer first.
    This installer should be run to either (1) update the existing driver and its instances to the latest version of AdobePS and/or PSCRIPT 5 and/or (2) to create new PostScript driver printer instances.
    In addition to support for Acrobat Distiller 5, AdobePS 5.2 and PSCRIPT5 5.2 provide the following new features under "Device Settings" to users of Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 that were previously only available for users of AdobePS 4.4 and later under Windows'9x/Me:
    (1) "True gray" support options for both vector graphics and text. Defaulted to "no" values, when set to "yes" the "Convert Gray Text to PostScript Gray" and "Convert Gray Graphics to PostScript Gray" assume that for all text and vector graphics objects respectively, color values in which the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values match are really an expression of grayscale as opposed to RGB color. The default "no" results in those RGB values passed through to the printer or Distiller as-is. The "yes" value can dramatically improve output quality for black and grayscale text and vector graphics for PostScript color printers that do not automatically make assumptions about and convert R=G=B values to K values. The "yes" value also assists in creating prepress-friendly PostScript and PDF from applications that do not generate their own PostScript (including Adobe FrameMaker, Microsoft Office, and other popular office suite and productivity programs). [I recommend that users always set these values to "yes" - Dov.]
    (2) Add Euro Currency Symbol to PostScript Fonts. Defaulted to a "yes" value, this option tries to augment older text Type 1 "device fonts," i.e. those text fonts that are printer-resident, with a definition for the Euro character when necessary. This option does NOT affect host-based Type 1 or TrueType fonts that are downloaded to the printer as needed.
    [Windows 2000 users should be aware of one remaining problem for which Adobe is currently working for a "fix." Some, but not all applications that do not generate their own PostScript or manage their own fonts (including Adobe FrameMaker and Microsoft Word) display text formatted in ITC Zapf Dingbats and possibly Carta and other selected symbol fonts as "Wingdings" on the screen although the characters have the "widths" of the correct font. However, these characters do print correctly on paper or in PDF created via distillation. The problem is a bit more complex than just a fix to the driver. A workaround of deleting references to such fonts from the PPDs of PostScript printers is only a partially-effective workaround. Again, Adobe is working on a fix for this problem.]
    - Dov

    If you try Creative WDM driver (MME or DS) w/ other software, does those work?
    If not, then you need to re-install Creative bundled drivers.
    You can test both w/ NI BeatPort Player as for an example (or w/ Winamp, etc. (w/ Winamp, you can also use Kernel Streaming or ASIO output plugin which both gives maybe a bit better output quality)).
    How 'bout those windows audio settings (start run.. mmsys.cpl)?
    KS for Winamp - http://www.stevemonks.com/ksplugin/
    ASIO for Winamp - http://otachan.com/

  • HP LaserJets emulate Postscript

    Hello,
    First, thanks to Greg Sahli for putting a previous thread which found a work around for my problem....
    Printer was printing garbage (raw postscript code) to the printer when I first configured it.
    I have a HP LaserJet 2100 (plain, not a M or TN)
    JectDirect J6057A )r25.57)
    I ended p using the driver "Laserrjet 6 series, Gimp-Print", using LPD protocols and its working.
    Why didn't the 2100 series driver work (shouldn't it know its PCL, not PS)?
    Do you need an optional PS emulation DIMM (and has anyone seen them available)
    Thanks again, this is a great resource.

    HP (and other manufacturers - especially the high-end office equip makers like Xerox & Canon) assume that since you have a Mac, you'll want to print postscript. For those, the included driver on OS X is the postscript driver.
    I don't think it's worth it to get the postscript card, but someone here said they got it on eBay - at least I think it was for the 2100.
