LaserJet 1200 driver problem

HP Laserjet 1200 printer with Windows 7... The problem is that a 4x6 sheet is fed through the center of the printer but win7 wants to print as if the 4x6 sheet were fed through the left side of the printer. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

It's almost certainly a driver probelm, particualrly if it happens in other programs too. Do you have a win7 driver?

HP LaserJet 1200 printing problems

Ever since I upgraded to Tiger, my formerly trusty HP LaserJet 1200 takes up to 10-20 minutes to print a single PDF page (even a simple one), and 2) can't keep track of documents in the queue (if I send a second document while the first is printing, the first one cuts out without finishing).
I understand HP bundled the latest driver into Tiger, so no updated driver is available from HP. Although I installed the GimpPrint drivers, there appears to be no Gimp driver for the LaserJet 1200. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Update: I realised that my printer was attached to a USB hub. It's been that way since I bought it and has always used like that. Anyway, on the off-chance (and bearing in mind that I had actually shut down my computer for the first time in a year or so last week), I instead connected the printer directly to one of the USB ports of my iMac. It immediately appeared in the Print Utility list!
Sounds peculiar, but it seems that the problems was linked to a combination of a Tiger upgrade, the use of a USB hub, and the full shut down of the computer.
Hope this helps someone.

HP LaserJet P1006 Driver problems, 2008 Terminal Server

I have a few P1006 LaserJets and have not had much success with them since we have moved them onto thin clients. They were on full XP machines and now they are hooked to XP thin clients. The printers install on the thin clients and can print from the thin clients fine, but when they connect to the terminal server they can get maybe one page to print at best.
We are running Windows Server 2008 for terminal services and I am using the latest version of the printer driver from the HP website on both the thin clients and the server. The driver is the 4/18/2008 or 1.0.5 version.
The driver works fine when printing locally, but when there is a redirected job from a terminal session they get maybe one page before the spooler crashes. The driver loads when they start their remote session and the printer is available (the drivers are signed so the system seems to like them). Unfortunately the Easy Share Print Driver doesn't work at all so that doesn't help.
It seems there is just enough difference between the XP and Vista kernel versions of the driver to cause problems. It's possible someone sharing this printer on an XP machine and trying to print to it from a Vista desktop would have similar problems.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. The local computer is running Vista Business with a P1006 attached via USB. The user remotes (using RDP through an HP MediaSmart Server) into another Vista Business machine. The user can print one document, then nothing. I checked the remote computer's printer queue and there were no jobs listed. I checked the local computer's printer queue and there were over 600 jobs. The user did try to print several times, but certainly not that many times.
I cleared the queue by doing right-click - Run as Administrator - Cancel All Documents. But, I still can't print anything, not even a test page. I had to reboot the computer.
So something is definitely wrong with the drivers for this printer.
Are these forums monitored by HP, or just the community?

Daq 1200 driver problem

hi there
i am installing an old version of the multifunction daq pci 1200 series on an xp system , ni daq 7.0 driver versions are not supporting it neither are they detecting it , in the manual it says that support has been removed for 1200 series , and then i tried the 6.9.1 version on 2000 by partitioning the work space and still i have a problem , is there a way i can install the device , the drivers and measurement explorer on windows xp , and if the problem still occurs on 2000 also , is there a way around .
all healthy suggestions welcomed

What kind of problem are you seeing on Windows 2000?
You can install the NI-DAQ 6.9.3 in XP and use it to control PCI 1200. For more information on compatibility between cards and drivers please refer to the following link.
Data Acquisition (DAQ) Installation/Configuration Troubleshooter
Also, after you install the driver, the fist time you open up Measurement Explorer hit F5 to refresh and scan for DAQ cards.

HP LaserJet 1022 driver problem with Windows 7

I can not load the drivers for LaserJet 1022 on my new acer windows 7 lap top. I got a windows 7 machine a couple years ago and Had no problem loading drivers. Any one have any suggestions.?

Hello Abzozo1. I understand you're getting the "webcam not detected" error.
What is the exact product number of the notebook? This document can show you where it is located.
Has the webcam ever worked since you upgraded the operating system?
To ensure that you have all of the software installed properly I suggest installing the HP Software Framework and HP Support Assistant. You can then run HP Support Assistant and it will automatically install any missing software. If that doesn't resolve the issue I suggest you take a look at my thread located here. This thread covers the common solutions to this error.
Take a look at that thread and let me know if any of the steps help.
Have a great day! I'll keep an eye out for your next reply.

Color Laserjet 2500L driver problem

I've tried to install my printer on a new machine ... having lost my original CD! I've tried downloading new drivers from the HP site, but they won't print at all. Windows downloaded PLC 5 driver, but the machine will only print in grayscale. On the "Properties" menu it says "No" to colour. Where am I going wrong?

Need a little more information here. Operating system, what driver did you download, and anything else you think is pertinent. Thanks.

HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not. The machine is XP SP3.
If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems?
Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

HP LaserJet 1200 series BW USB problem

I am unable to re install my HP BW LaserJet 1200 series printer. My system is WIN XP PRO, SP3.
The printer was working fine, then something happened and the printer is not listed in Device manager. The printer self check works OK,, but when I plug in the USB cable, there is no screen respons that a new USB device has been found.
Note , I have 2 flash drives attached to the USB ports that work OK.
I tried to re install the 1200 series driver, but the printer is not listed in Device manager.
Any suggestions troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I've often had this problem when I start a print but the 1200 is not connected, or for other reasons. I either:
1. Turn the HP 1200 off then on; or
2. Go to Print centre and delete the job.
One of these always fixes the problem.

Windows 7 64 bits driver for HP LaserJet 1200

The drivers available on HP's web sites do not work on our Windows 7 64 bits computers.
Does someone know about a workable driver?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Good news. There is a solution.
HP Laserjet 1200 or 1300, and possiblly more Laserjet models have the same problem with Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit . My desktop is XP (32 bit) with a shared HP Laserjet 1200. I have no problem to share it with my other XP and Vista 32 bit laptops through wireless network at home. But I just purchased a new HP Windows 7 64bit laptop and I could not install the shared printer even through I used the downloaded HP universal printer drivers for Windows 64 bit. I searched the HP support forums and found this link was very helpful.
http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1301542
Now my Windows 7 64 bit is working with the shared HP Laserjet 1200. Here is the solution from the link and I added some more details.
1. Disconnect the printer from the desktop computer on the network. Then, connect the printer directly to the new Window 7 64 bit (or Vista 64 bit) laptop using the USB cable. The laptop loads the correct driver automatically.
2. Print a test page. (This is an important step.)
3. Disconnect the printer from the laptop and reconnect it back to the desktop.
4. Open the list of printers of the new Windows 7 64 bit laptop, find the LaserJet printer. Right click and open "Printer properties" (not the "Properties" at the bottom of list).
5. Find the "ports" tab. Change from the USB port (DOT4_xxx) to the network connection. If you do not know how to change it to network connection, click "Add Port", then click "Local Port". Typed in " \\your_desktop_pc_name\your_shared_printer_name " (This is just an example.). Click OK to save it.
6. Print another test page.
Following the above steps, you will have a shared HP Laserjet 1200 PCL5 printer. To change it to PCL6 printer driver, you will need to use the downloaded HP Universal Drivers for Windows 64 bit. I will not discuss it here.
Thanks to the first person who came out this great idea.

HP Color LaserJet 5550 and Tiger (10.4.11) Driver Problem

I have recently acquired a Color LaserJet 5550hdn. I have updated all drivers and firmware available from the HP Website (Printer Driver, 5550 firmware and Jetdirect 610n firmware). The printer has been factory reset/cold reset etc. to purge any previous custom settings. I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (933mhz) and Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11). I have made some test prints from both Preview and iPhoto and all have been dark and muddy with respect to colors. I have printed the same images from my wife's PC with HP's PCL 6 Driver for Windows XP and achieve satisfactory results with respect to color (that is to say, without fooling with any color settings in the driver, the image is at least within 10% of the color gamut compared to the screen image). Setting up the printer with the HP Postscript Driver for XP yields similar results as the Mac, dark and muddy colors. So is this a problem with the HP Postscript Driver? Is this a Mac OS X Tiger problem? Do users have color problems with the printer running the Leopard driver?
I previously owned a HP Color LaserJet 8550 (utilizing the same HP Driver for Mac OS X that the 5550 uses) and had default images (no fooling with any color settings in the driver) that were acceptable, again within 10% or less of the screen image color gamut.
I have also downloaded HP's ICC color profiles (CMYK and sRGB) and put them in library/printers/hp/profiles.
With respect to the driver itself, there are two areas in the print dialogue box which seem to have a bearing on color. One is Colorsync and the other is Color Options. Colorsync has two choices ('Standard' and 'In Printer') and I chose 'In Printer' to I assume bypass any Colorsync Conversion. When 'Standard' is chosen the print summary shows the HP Color LaserJet CMYK profile being used. There seems to be no way of changing the default setting in the Colorsync Utility to HP Color LaserJet sRGB. Not sure if it matters as the output for both 'Standard' and 'In Printer' seem to yield the same results. The options under 'Color Options" in the driver under the 'Show Advanced Options' have choices (Basic, Text, Graphics, Photographs, Advanced) and I have played with these to some extent. Although they seem to have some effect on the image, the print is still dark and muddy with respect to colors.
On a final note I have tried a 'GutenPrint' driver to see if it would yield different results.....there was not one for the 5550 so I used a driver for the Color LaserJet 5500......it would only print in grayscale....the resulting image did not look very promising even if it had printed in color.
Insights on any of the above from the community here would be most helpful!
Thanks,
-Ray

This is an update to my own post above. I downloaded the Mac OS 9 driver (yes OS 9!, but the QuickSilver is Dual Boot) for the Color LaerJet 5550 and printed (no changes to any of the driver settings) the same image (photo) as I used in Mac OS X. The image was still dark but not as poor from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Although I prefer not to use color management, I used the Colorsync tab in the driver and chose to match to Colorsync with a generic sRGB output profile (no other settings were changed in the HP color options tab). The resulting image was +/- 5% within the color gamut of the screen image (yeah!!!) In Tiger the options under the Colorsync tab in the driver are 'Standard' or 'In Device' and regardless of the choice, the print result is the same, very dark and muted colors. There is no option for sRGB and if set to 'Standard' the print summary always shows a CMYK profile being utilized. Given that the HP Color LaserJet 5550 is an sRGB printer as per HP, perhaps that is a problem? I would assume the 'In Device' option would bypass Colorsync (since there seems to be no other way to turn it off) and use sRGB, but that does not seem to make a difference in the image being printed.
My good success with an OS 9 driver leads me to believe I have a driver problem in Tiger. However, I have no problems with other printers (HP All in One, DesignJet Color Plotter and wide format Epson inkjet....all of which are older) with respect to poor color output. Given this is a current model in the HP line-up and I believe in service during Mac OS X Tiger, it seems hard to fathom other users do/did not experience a problem.
Again, do Leopard users have a problem with color issues on this printer with default driver settings? Does anyone have driver settings/other insights they could share with respect to Tiger to at least get the print image somewaht close to the screen image? As it stands now, regardless of settings, the printed image is dark with muted colors.
Thnaks to anyone who can respond, even if it is to say they have no problems in Leopard/Snow Leopard as I am upgrading to a new Mac soon.

New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried MacBook using ethernet).
This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP, is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.
Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

Thanks for the replys.
After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

Hey,
I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC. I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you. Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section? For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.

Laserjet 1200 and Win 7 - small sheet orientation problem

I am unable to get my HP Laserjet 1200 printer to work correctly with Windows 7 when printing a document narrower than 8.5x11. The problem is that a 4x6 sheet is fed through the center of the printer but win7 wants to print as if the 4x6 sheet were fed through the left side of the printer. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.

I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and now I am having trouble with my printer. When I print "labels", the ink is faded for the first few, and then towards the end of the page it seems fine.
I looked for drivers to download for windows 7, but don't see them.
It's almost like a memory problem? Like it doesn't get all the graphics sent to the printer until halfway down the page.
I use this for my small business to make labels for my products. Does anyone know how to help? I tried to call HP, but they are closed, it told me to do the online chat, but that said it didn't recognize my printer. HELP!
Thanks
