Is it possible to share an hp color laserjet cp2020 connected via usb to a 32 bit PC with a 64 bit ?

I have a client who is running an XP 32-bit PC that has the Color Laserjet CP2020 connected to it via USB. It is shared across the network to other PC's, but I recently upgraded 2 of the PC's to Windows 7 64-bit and now I cannot connect the shared printer to them.

Try the following: install the Windows 7 x64 drivers on your Win 7 machine as if the printer was going to be attached locally.  Next on the Win 7 machine go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then select the cp2020.

  • TS3147 connect OS X 10.9.2 macbook air to windows 7 network and share printer (Brother HL-2230) connected via USB to the same network

    Would like to share printer Brother HL-2230 on windows 7 network.  Using Windows 7  "Homegroup" is not an option.
    The printer (HL-2230) is connected via USB to win 7 computer.  Before I updated OS to 10.9.2  it (Macbook air) had  HL-2230 as one of its' priinters and was able to print.  Now a print request hangs on "Hold for authentication".
    I have already reset printer system and re-installed printer x2 - no luck. 
    I have already connected WiFi Epson XP-200 to the Macbook air - runs fine, no problem.
    thx for any help that can lead to the resolution of this problem.

  • Unable to network print to HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to Windows PC

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to print on my network to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n that is connected and shared on a Windows PC. I have carefully followed the instruction posted on http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html and I am still unable to print. I made sure the printer name on the remote PC has no spaces. After I enter (on my Mac) my user name and password to access the user account on the remote Windows PC, I get the following error message:
    Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name. Error: 256
    Please help! Thank you!

    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The Windows PC is running the Windows XP Firewall, the Avast Antivirus, and Windows Defender. I have deactivated all these applications and the issue persists.
    I called Apple today (I am still in my 90-day free support since this is a new MacBook Pro). After some basic troubleshooting with a tier one rep, I was transfered to a tier 2 rep who told me after making sure that I was following the right steps to try to add the printer, that since the HP LaserJet 2600n printer is connected to a Windows XP computer, my set-up is not supported by Apple and declined continuing troubleshooting the issue. According to this person Apple will only support network printing when the printer is directly attached to a hub/router.

  • Problem with HP 3600n Color Laserjet Printer and new HP Notebook Running 64 bit Win7

    I have a new HP notebook (dv7t-6100) with Core-i7 Processor, running 64 bit Windows 7 with all of the latest updates.
    I also have a 27" iMac with Core-i7 Processor running 64 bit Windows 7 underneath Parallels 7. Parallels is a program that creates a virtual machine underneath Mac OSX.
    Both versions of 64 bit Windows 7 work perfectly . . . EXCEPT, neither will print from my HP 3600n Color Laserjet. The iMac will print to the 3600n in OSX mode, and an earlier version of 32 bit Windows 7 under Parallels printed perfectly with this 3600n printer.
    These facts prove that the printer is OK, the connection is OK. However, the 64 bit Windows 7 systems do not print.
    In both of the 64 bit Windows 7 installs I allowed Windows to find and download the HP driver for this printer. Install of the driver was apparently successful. Still no printing. 
    One strange fact: Sometimes when I turn the computer off, the 3600n printer will print the items that had been in the queue before powering down. That is the only time it has printed anything . . . except under OSX on the iMac.
    Does anyone know if there is a basic problem with 64 bit Windows 7 and this printer ?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I just had the same problem with my MacBook Pro using 10.5.5 After trying a number of things, the following worked. (not sure what specifically ... just did this combination)
    1. Had the Apple store Genius Bar folks install the latest HP drivers.
    2. Restart computer
    3. Restart the HP Color LaserJet 3600
    4. Connected the HP printer and MacBook Pro directly into a switch, so the wireless was not an issue (both machines had IP addresses set and computer's was set to DHCP with manual IP).
    5. Instead of using the System Preference printing and fax tool, I started Text Edit, typed something and said "print".
    Print window came up and said "no printer selected"
    6. I clicked on the drop down so it would look for printers.
    7. It found the HP Color LaserJet 3600.
    8. I clicked on the name of the printer and the computer went out and found the driver
    9. I clicked on "Add" and it added the printer.
    10. I tried a couple of test prints in different programs.
    11. I disconnected the hard wired ethernet cables and set the computer to be on the wireless.
    12. I printed a few more test prints in various programs.
    I had previously tried selecting the printer and drivers through the System Preferences to no avail, but doing it this way worked.

  • 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.

  • Snow Leopard Breaks Bonjour Printing (HP Color Laserjet)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook (newly reformatted) with the newest version of print drivers from HP's website, connected to a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi, with print sharing enabled and "share this printer over the network checked". It used to work well for Bonjour printing from all my other leopard macs in my house, before I updated to Snow Leopard.
    All of the computers I mention here are fully updated.
    On the other computers....
    The printer shows up in add a printer under Bonjour, but it takes a long time to find the driver. I have tried printing using the "Generic PostScript Printer" driver as well as the HP Color Laserjet cm1312MFP driver, but both get stuck at "Connecting to Printer". After a few minutes of this they peter out and just mark the job as completed.
    This is all while the printer is awake and the host computer is awake.
    Another computer, without the HP Printer solution software installed, but that still comes up with the HP Color Laserjet cm1312 MFP drivers, will say "Connected to printer" then automatically mark the job as on hold. No matter how many times I reset the print queue, on this computer nothing works.
    These computers are all running 10.6.
    I can print directly from the computer that is hosting the bonjour printer without any problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Josh,
    First, let me make sure my assumptions are correct. The printer is USB connected to the Mac that has printer sharing turned on, and the other Macs find the shared printer via Bonjour. All the Macs are running Snow Leopard. The computer with the printer connected via USB prints just fine. All of the other computers don't work.
    So, let me ask this. If you open up the Sharing System Preference, and select Printer Sharing, Printer Sharing is turned on, the printer you want to share is listed in the list with a checkmark next to it, and the Users is setup so Everyone Can Print. Also when you open up the Print & Fax System Preference and click on your printer, the "Share this printer on the network" checkbox is on as well.
    Next make sure that all the computer are running the HP Drivers version 2.2 from Apple Software Update (or downloaded from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907]).
    If all of this is true, let me ask if you connect the device to Ethernet (if possible at least temporarily) if all of the computers can find and print to the CM1312? This might help narrow things down.
    Just trying to help.

  • HP Color LaserJet 3600(not 3600n) with Fast Ethernet port - can I use it?

    Hello! There is a HP Color LaserJet 3600 in our company connected via USB with XP-based PC. Recently I decided that we need this printer be shared directly trough our ethernet network, so I started to learn manuals - its own manual, Jet Direct, and all that stuff. The printer's manual says that HP Color Laserjet 3600 does not have neither its own ethernet port, nor support for embedded print-server like JetDirect 620n.
    But! 
    Visual check  shows that this HP 3600 DOES have its own ethernet port and if I connect it to network or at least to a notebook - it blinks like any other ethernet port with "lights" should do. 
    However.
    Neither front panel, nor back panel says anything about network support(like letter "n" in model name).
    Configuration page print also does not know about that mysterious port.
    So my questions are:
    1. What is this port actually?
    2. Can I use it to share printer over network? Maybe, there is a way to upload 3600n's firmware somehow? 

    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.

  • HP Color Laserjet CP1215 won't print on local computer

    I am using Windows XP.
    I have an HP Color LaserJet CP1215 connected to my computer by a USB cable.  It has printed many times, but I don't use it often.  I turned it on this morning to print an excel spreadsheet in color.  I use an HP Laserjet 4100 connected on a regular printer port for most of my printing.  Anyway this printer will not print from any program.  It will not print a test page.  I turned it off and on; restarted my computer; switched out USB cables; downloaded a new driver from HP.  I also download the diagnostic tool from HP and when it scans it, it finds it and says it is fine, but it will not print a test page from the diagnostic tool.  I have stopped the printer spool and restarted it.  I have done absolutely everything I can think of or that I have seen as a solution on HP.com and in my windows printer diagnostic tool.
    The weird thing is it prints when connected to another computer.  I hauled it to another office and connected it to another computer (Windows 7) and when connected it told me there was a problem with the driver, so I downloaded a driver from HP.com and it worked fine.   The REALLY weird thing is I can share it on my computer, go to another office, add it as a network printer and it works.    Why would it work as a shared printer, but not work for the computer to which it is physically connected?
    When I attempt to print, the document shows up in the printer spool and says "printing."  Then after a few minutes, it says "deleting" even though I have not manually deleted it.
    Anyone have any ideas?  I am fresh out.  I hate to think I have to walk to another office in my building to print to a printer that is right beside me.    Although it may be a good exercise. 

    I am currently in the same boat. I love how you posted this legitimate issue 3 years ago and there is still no resolution. It really reflects on the company's character and attitude toward their customers.
    Hopefully this will get a response.

  • HP Color Laserjet 4700n series

    Hi, I am trying to install wireless printing on my HP Color Laserjet 4700n printer in my office with three different computers. However, I am having trouble finding out how to do this on each computer in the office. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this or even tell me if wireless printing is possible with this series. Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    According to the spec sheet for the Laserjet 4700n printer, this printer only has these methods of connectivity. Unfortunately, wireless printing is not mentioned.
    Laserjet 4700n connection methods:
    Enhanced input/output (EIO) card slots for optional connectivity. (Network connection using an HP Jetdirect embedded print server is standard on HP Color LaserJet 4700n, HP Color LaserJet 4700dn, HP Color LaserJet 4700dtn, and HP Color LaserJet 4700ph+ printers.)
    USB 2.0 connection.
    HP Jetdirect embedded print server to enable network connectivity without requiring use of an EIO slot.
    Standard bidirectional parallel cable interface (IEEE 1284-C compliant).
    Auxiliary connector.
    Both USB and parallel connections are supported, but cannot be used at the same time.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n Toolbox - Windows 7 64 Bit

    I'm having trouble finding the HP Toolbox.    I have a Color Laserjet 2600n.   OS is Windows 7 - 64 Bit.  When I print checks, I notice a slight shadowing of the numbers.  Thinking it may need cleaned, but I cant find my toolbox anymore and have to tried to look online.  I saw something regarding there was no toolbox for Windows 7.  Is this still the case?  When I print on paper everything looks fine.  Also, anything I print that has red in it doesnt not print very well.  This has been a problem for several years.   I had XP until March 2013 and then got a new computer.  Before the computer switch I cleaned and aligned the printer several times, but still no red print.

    I would suggest installing the PCL6 driver on your XP machine, then on the XP machine do the following:  Start, Settings, Printers and Faxes, Add a Printer, Next, Local Printer, Next, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, Have Disk, point to the directory where the driver was installed (default C:\clj4500pcl6win2kxp).
