HP Deskjet 712c Win 7 Home problem connecting to shared printer on Win XP Pro PC

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting to a shared printer on my home wireless network. The printer is HP Deskjet 712C. When I had Win XP on all my PCs, I could successfully share the printer from one PC and print to it from any PC. Worked just fine.
However, now I have 2 PCs with Win 7 Home and 1 PC with Win XP Pro. The printer is physically connected to the Win XP box. I have confirmed, on that box, it is being shared. When I try to add the printer on a Win 7 box, I select network printer and get to the point where it needs the driver. It prompts for an INF file. I have no clue where to go from there. I have done the Windows Update thing for Win 7 to update the driver list in the OS. I did see on the Win XP box that there's a place where I can load various drivers to the network for different OSs. I'm guessing that's so the appropriate drivers for those OSs will be available when adding the shared printer in those OSs. Of course, Win Vista and Win 7 are not available there. Is there any way I can share the printer from my Win XP box to my Win 7 boxes?
Also, I've tried physically connecting the printer to one of my Win 7 boxes to share it from there, but I have probems there just getting Win 7 to see the printer correctly. I'm using a Parallel - USB converter cable. When I plug it in, Win 7 sees the printer as a IEEE-1394 device instead of a printer. Even when I install the HP Deskjet 712C drivers in the OS driver list, and select the USB001 port, it tells me the printer is not plugged in, but I know it is.
I would love to hear some ideas! Please help!
Thanks

HP Laserjet 1300 wireless printing?

Is my HP Laserjet 1300 capable of wireless printing? Could I purchase something that will convert the serial port. (My USB ports no longer work)

Hi donnabaird,
Unfortunately this printer is only USB capable. It was not built to be wireless. You would need a wireless printer to print wirelessly. I hope this helps.

Problem to print from a Shared Printer from Win XP

Hi,
I tried to print from a Photosmart C4180 that is directly connected via USB to a PC on XP and set as a Shared Printer. I am able to see the printer inside the network and add the printer, but unfortunately, the kind is a Generic Postscript Printer, and doesn't recognize that it's a HP Photosmart C4180. I installed the installation disk of HP and well... it didn't improve. Even if I try to print, I received an connection error. The Photosmart C4180 isn't inside the printer list of Mac OS and there, I'm stuck!
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
After some searches and helpful info, I finally did it and I will share the steps with you to save time for everyone:
STEP 1: Add the TCP/IP print server service (FROM XP)
1- Log in with Administrative privileges.
2- Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
3- Double-click Add-remove Programs.
4- Click the Add-Remove Windows Components side button.
5- Open the Other Network File and Printer Services
section.
6- Put a checkmark in Print Services for Unix.
7- Click OK; click Next. (The Computer will probably
ask for the WinXP install disk, go ahead and put it
in and the install will run automatically.)
8- Click Finish.
9- Close the Add-remove programs window.
STEP 2: To have the service start automatically (as a
daemon) (FROM XP)
1- Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2- Double-click Administrative Tools.
3- Double-click Services.
4- Double-click TCP/IP print Server.
5- Change the "Startup Type" to Automatic.
6- Click OK and close the windows that are open.
STEP 3: To share the printer for TCP/IP printing (FROM XP)
1- Click Start -> Settings -> Printers.
2- Right-click the print you want to share and select
Sharing.
3- Click the radio button for Share as and fill in the
share name you want to print to.
STEP 4: Add the printer on your Mac)
1- Open the System Preferences
2- Select "Print & Fax"
3- Click "+" to add a printer
4- Click More Printers...
5- Click on the drop-down menu Workgroup to select your private network,
once you reach the designated computer, you must enter your username
and password that you use on your XP computer, click OK and then finally
select the printer.
6- For the printer model, you must select the Photosmart P1100 + Gimp-
Print.
7- Click OK and you are ready to print finally!!!
Have a nice day!

HP Laserjet 1020 Shared printer problem

Hello there I have here an HP Laserjet 1020 connected to one machine and shared to 3 others over the network. Initially the printer works fine. All 3 computers that share the printer are able to print, as well as the host of the printer. However give it 3 days to a week and all of a sudden the printer is no longer able to print. All shared computers and the host are able to see the printer, send a print job, but nothing happens. The print queue is empty as if the job was completed. Occasionally if the host of the printer is restarted a print job will execute but very rarely. The only way that I have been able to fix this problem is to delete the printer from all computers. Reinstall drivers and share the printer on the host machine and share the printer on the following 3 computers. This has become very time consuming as its been done 4 times over the last 3 weeks. If it helps the host machine and 2 computers run XPSp3 and the 4th computer uses win7. Any solution that will help fix this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @rajahp ,
I see by your post that the printer is printing distorted characters. Thanks for providing the screen shot. I can help you.
It looks like a issue with the toner or possible a hardware issue with the printer or fuser.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, toner on the drum or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
I have provided a document for cleaning inside the printer and running a cleaning page, resetting the printer and checking the driver settings. Resolving Print Quality Issues.
Try printing a document again.
Let me know the results.
What kind of paper are you using?
Try another type of paper to see if you have the same results.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What is the toner level?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Hi Lisam123
I understand you are getting the error PDL_Common during installation.
When you get the error try directing it to the c:, windows, program files or program files x86, then hp, laserjet to see if it is listed.
Try running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. (Win7 and Win8 only)
Here is a url for the download for your Laserjet cp1525nw. Just select the operating system.

Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What driver are you installing since you don't have the cd?
What operating system are you using? (winxp, win7, win8, win8.1)
How is the printer connected? (usb/ethernet/wireless)

Laserjet 1018, sharing printer

I have my printer connected to a new computer, Windows 7, using wireless network. I did a test print and works fine from this computer.
I unhooked the printer from my old computer, Windows XP, but I can't get the printer to work from there.
I understand from searching that there are different drivers to install on my new computer. I am following instructions and am up to this point:
"Once the administrator clicks the OK button, a print driver window will pop-up asking for the 32-bit driver components. Again, the administrator will need to download, and extract the 32-bit version of the print driver on the 64-bit server. Once the window below comes up, the administrator will need to navigate to the 32-bit driver components and select the appropriate driver .inf file.
For example, the UPD .inf file would be the first file in the list and be named hpcuXXXc.in"
I can't figure out what I am supposed to type in for the appropriate driver .inf file.
Thanks for any assistance!

HP laserjet 1300 with windows 7 (64 bits)

Please help me to find why my printer Hp LaserJet 1300 cannot print more than 1 copy with Windows 7 (64 bits). Is a new driver to solve this problem.

HiRichard

The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

Photoshop CS3 printing garbage characters on HP LaserJet 1300

After installing CS3, Photoshop prints garbage characters on my HP LaserJet 1300.
Yes, I have tried printing as ASCII, ASCII85, Binary and JPEG - nothing helps (plus the settings won't stick even after holding down Alt and clicking the Remember button).
The only way to print right now is to choose Save as PDF in the print dialogue, open the PDF in Adobe Reader and print from there.
Any ideas?

tzw - I responded about this on another forum. I talked to technical support at Adobe about this exact issue about 2 months ago - can't print photoshop CS3 on any of my three HP printers. ( I have a HP1200, an HP 2550 and a HP photosmart 7660) (CS2 works fine) They worked with me for about an hour - called me back and worked some more, and then decided to send it up to the programmers (or engineers or whatever) The programmers called me and worked with me for another hour - trying different set-ups etc., but the conclusion by them was that this was a huge problem in that there were a lot of HP printers out there - that they were going to give this their top priority - and that there would be a fix for this soon. (I have yet to see a fix.)

HP LaserJet 1300 no longer prints from OS 10.7.5.

My HP LaserJet 1300 has suddenly stopped printing various files, most notably PDFs from Acrobat X. I had no problems previously. Did an OS update to 10.7.5 cause this problem?

similar problem with a brother cdn
upgrade from x4.11 to x5.8 and the printer drives seem to be "wacky"
ALSO; after downloading the "newest" drivers and installing & the system updater also "found new drivers" and installed them, the problem was actually worse.
And; in Print manager, created a new printer with driver, still no help, finally in desperation =
the FIX: to find the nearly dozen duplicate driver files (in both Library / printers & PPDs) and trashed them ALL, then re-installed the brother driver package and all is good again.

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

HP LaserJet 1300 won't print from Classic

I can’t print out of Classic environment because the printer (HP Laserjet 1300) isn’t installed there. My computer does not have dual boot. (That is, it can run classic, but not boot up in classic.) I've read some related posts and have tried some suggestions, but so far to no avail.
The installation CD has installation for OS 9 and OS 10 and I have installed both from the OS X environment. But there is still no HP Laserjet 1300 icon in the Chooser in the OS 9 environment. I should mention that when I went to chooser and clicked on Laserwriter 8 icon, I noticed that there was a place that said “Select a PostScript Printer” but there was no printers to be selected in the related field. I have been to Apple System Profiler in OS 9 and there is no driver listed there for my HP laserjet even though I have installed it.
When I click print I get a yellow ! message that says that my Document could not be printed because printer “LaserWriter could not be found. Try again?
This printer works fine from OS X, but not from classic. I called apple help and they said to go to the HP website. The HP website said the following:
“Installing a driver in Mac in classic mode
2004/11
Installing an HP driver in MAC® classic mode may be useful: if, for example, an application you want to use is not supported by MAC OS X.
This functionality is supported by the PostScript and the raster drivers.
Installing the driver
With the latest version of the drivers, the installer already foresees separate MAC OS 9 and OS X installation. On MAC OS X, run the OS 9 installation and it will install in classic mode.”
MY QUESTION:
How do I “run the OS 9 installation”? What buttons do I press to do this?
Thanx in advance
Fred

froellig, two wholly different things here.
Looking at the 9 driver for LaserJet 1300 HP offers for download, anyway, it isn't actually a driver - it's merely an installer which, from either X or 9, should give you Printer Description Files to use with the standard PostScript drivers, namely LaesrWriter 8 or AdobePS.
Test that it did that much by using Apple's Desktop Printer Utility to create a virtual desktop printer… If the Change button in PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) File pane leads to a Printer Descriptions list that does include HP LaserJet 1300 Series that much, at least, seems to have worked.
If the printer works from OS X, then you could use LaserWriter 8 in Classic to Print to File, which would give you .ps files which you could manually drag into any X print queue. This works for most printers.
The other thing is that yes, LaserWriter should show the 1300 in the right-hand Chooser pane so again, can X see it and print to it?
If not that suggests a cable or hardware fault, bad settings or interference from other software.
If X can see and use the printer, and there are no other faults with Classic 9, that suggests something inside OS 9 is interfering.

HP LaserJet 1300 - No Finishing options for double-sided manual printing

I connected my HP Laserjet 1300 printer to my iMac and installed the drivers but I do not have the same capability I had with Windows XP. I do not have the Preferences options to select "Print On Both Sides (Manually). Actually, I do not have access to the Printer Preferences screens with the Tabs - Advanced, Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects. Are these capabilities available on the Mac?

I plan to keep the iMac. I ordered the new software CD for my LaserJet printer. I just don't know all the option clicks that are there. I called Apple Care and found out about the small box with the triangle that pulls down more printer options.
I really would rather not use Boot Camp. I plan to migrate completely to the Mac world. I started migrating my few Publisher docs to Pages. I just found flip4mac. I just have to accept the steep learning curve for about 1 month or so.
I'm going to mark this resolved at this time.
Thank you,
Ed
