Install Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in new Laptop with Windows 8, 64 Bit

Product Name - HP Laserjet 1200 Series, PCL 6 Driver
Operating System: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64 bit
Error Message : Can't find the 1200 Series on the Network. To locate manually click ok ....
Changes Made - This is an installation on new laptop, running Windows 8, 64 bit
Description:
1. Installing to an existing network, that consistedof a desktop and two wireless laptops.
2. Both Laptops have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above named printer is successfully accessed from the laptops.
3. Am replacing one of the laptops with the Windows 8 64 bit.
4. The Series 1200 path is: Wireless Printer to Router, Router to Desktop via ethernet, Desktop to Printer via cable.
5. The wireless printer configuration is
        Name:  HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
        Port:     \\Central\HPLaserj
       Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
      Driver: HPMCPM25.GPD   5.8.2008
Problem
Unable to recreate this path with the Windows 8, 64 bit configuration.
a. When I attempt to download a current driver always wind up with a file entitled UPD-pcl6-x64-5.6.0.14430
     This appears to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, Can successfully unzip the file and create a folder
b. During installation I can see the the desktop printer ICON (name:\\central\HPLaserj); so far, so good
c. Process fails to locate a driver and instructs to manually locate.
d. Browsing to the HP Universal Driver Folders fails because a driver cannot be found .
e. Attempting to manuall enter fails because you cannot input the above address (\\central\HPlaserj). Can only enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.
f. When the installation did show a list of drivers, the only one I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought I was trying to download originally.
This set up worked successfully with the Windows 7 64 bit. It appears I need help from a lot more expertise than I have to walk me through this set up.

    Hard drive died.  Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

    Hi @Peggysguy ,
    I see that you are having issues installing the printer on Yosemite. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    The CD won't support Yosemite. You just need the newest drivers to install.
    I have provided you with the downloaded Full Software drivers for the Laserjet Pro CP1525nw.

  • I have a sony laptop with windows 7 (64 bit) which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But the machine had to be formatted and this time loaded windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried itunes for 32bit win 8 as well as for 64bit win 8 but none is getting installed

    I have a sony laptop with window 7 64 bit initially which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But due to formatting later, I had to reinstall the windows and this time I installed windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried installing iTunes for 64 bit windows 8 as well as 32 bit Windows 8 but none of them is getting installed. The message I get is, "this programme is not compatible for your pc" (or words to that affect since I dont remember the exact words but this is the meaning).
    Can some body send me the link to the right file please. I need iTunes to transfer files from my iPod and iPhone to my laptop.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

    I had an early version of Photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the Photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older Photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

    The workaround for this problem is to revert to IE9 or earlier, install your old PSE, then reinstall the latest IE version.

  • Installing CS2Premium upgrade onto new laptop with Windows 8

    I am trying to install a Creative Suite 2 Premium upgrade onto a new laptop with Windows 8.  The upgrade is from Photoshop 5.0, which I also have the original discs for, but is not installed on this new laptop.  Therefore, the upgrade is not being recognized.  I tried putting the 5.0 disc in and having the installation search for it as verification, but that wasn't working.  I realize both of these programs are ancient, but they are what I have.  So be it.  :-)  Can someone help me figure out how to get my CS2 upgrade to install? 

    Hi tensuns,
    You can download the CS2 Setup from the below mentioned link also please use the serial key mentioned in it.

  • How to install Adobe Flash Player plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.

    How can I install Adobe Flash Player which does not have a plug in on my new computer with Windows 8.  The instructions tell me that Flash Player is embedded in my Internet Explorer but all my choices for playig videos say no plug in is installed.

    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
    If that fails,
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

  • How do I install PageMaker 7 on a new laptop with Windows 8.1?  Too many files, and nothing brings me to the registration menu.

    I am at my wits end trying to install PageMaker 7.0 on my new laptop with System 8.1.  When the disk is inserted, there is a long list of files.  Other times it takes me to the Installation menu - which will not open when I click on it.
    My PC is also system 8.1, and somehow the place I bought it from installed PageMaker and it works fine.
    I hope you'll email me a response.  I don't want to have to keep logging on here to search for an answer.  Adobe won't help me.
    Help.

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

  • I downloaded the latest FF version for my new laptop with Windows 7 o/s and installed without problems, so why does it crash every time I try to use FF?

    My new laptop came with IE installed. I downloaded FF and installed it without any problems. FF has crashed every time I have tried to use it. I have never had this problem before on either laptop or desktop and found that I could use FF most of the time, only switching to IE occasionally when a site worked better with it ... which wasn't often.
