LaserJet 4200 won't collate in Windows 7 32 bit

Love my sturdy LaserJet 4200. But now that the computer is upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, we can't get it to collate. Many computer savvy people have worked on it and no one can solve it, and unfortunately this is a pretty important issue to us. It looks like other people in this forum have collating issues and no one seems to have been able to come up with a solution.
Do we need a driver update? I don't think so, but... I have seen the recommended steps for using Windows Update to get a driver. There are many for 4200 but they all seem to have a date of 2006 (pre-Windows 7). I am currently using driver HP LaserJet 4200/4300 PCL6.
Are there any other suggestions? Or is this just a bug we have to cope with/consider getting a new printer? Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem with a LJ 4200 installed on Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the Universal Print Driver for PCL5 from HP at: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=84030&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4132.
Download the PCL5 driver (not the PCL6) and save the file to a folder where you can find it quickly.
Then:
1) Turn your printer ON (make sure it is connected to the PC) and open Control Panel in Windows;
2) Click on "Add Printer"
3) When the Add Printer window opens - do nothing until the search completes - then DO NOT select any of the printers in the "Select a Printer" box - instead, click on the prompt at the bottom of the window that says "The printer that I wanted isn't listed" - this will open a window titled "Find a Printer by other Options" - Select the last option at the bottom of this window titled "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings" and then hit NEXT.
4) A new window opens titled "Choose a Printer Port" - select the port where you printer is connected and hit NEXT.
5) A new window opens titled "Install the Print Driver" - DO NOT chose any of the printers listed, instead click on the HAVE DISK button.
6) An "Install From Disk" window will open - at the bottom if this window where it says: "Copy Manufacturer's files from" click on BROWSE - then navigate to the folder where you save the PCL5 Driver you downloaded and click on the file name - it should highlight a file in the "File Name:" box at the bottom of the window - mine was named: hpbuio120l.inf (if not just open the folder and select the driver named: hpbuio120l.inf)
7) After you select the driver file in the step above, hit OPEN - the INSTALL FROM DISK window will open - Click on OK and the driver will install the new Printer.
Once the new printer is installed - go to Control Panel, open Devices and Printers, right click on the new Printer (make sure it is Set As Default) then from the same Right Click Menu select "Printer Properties" and scroll down to "Mopier Mode" and make sure it is disabled.
You should now be able to print collated copies from the LJ 4200 without any problem whatsoever. Good luck.

Indesign CS5 won't collate prints on my LaserJet

I recently updated a bunch of things on my Mac work computer. We upgraded to Mac OS X Version 10.6.3 and we upgraded to Indesign CS5 (previously CS2).
I've noticed that it WILL print collated on one of our printers (HP LaserJet 3390) but it WON'T collate on my HP Color LaserJet 4600 for some reason. When I print it, the collate button is checked but the color printer just won't collate it. So I'm thinking it's something I need to do with the printer but I looked it up and it said something like Snow Leopard should have had all the driver updates for HP LaserJets...
I don't know much about drivers or updates or whatnot...so if anyone knows the problem, please explain it in detail. Thanks!

Reinstall Photoshop CS5 to replace the files damaged by the MacOS 10.10 updater.

My HP LaserJet CM1415fnw won't scan from my Windows 8 computer

My hp LaserJet CM1415fnw won't scan from my computer using the paint application on my computer. I had no problem with previous computer. But I purchased a new computer with Windows 8 and the can option in Paint cannot be selected.

Hi HelenBay,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP LaserJet CM1415fnw will not scan from your Windows 8 computer, and I am happy to help you with this scanning issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

HP LaserJet printer won't work following update

I have just installed the latest Apple update for HP Laserjet printers (9 Sept 2008), and now my HP 2605dn color LaserJet printer won't work. Most applications just quit when I try to print; MS Word just hangs at the dialog box when I press Enter.
I can access the printer utility OK via the Print Preferences.
Has anybody any thoughts why this should be so, and how do I proceed to get my printer working again?
Thanks.

OK, I have just answered (part of) my own question.
Re-installing the HP Laserjet package has duplicated drivers for most of the HP laserjet printers in my list of drivers. If I select the second entry of the two identical appearances of the drivers for my printers, they start working again; if I select the first appearance they don't work. So now my printers are working again.
This still doesn't explain why Software Update prompted me to re-install an already installed package. It also gives me the issue of removing all the duplicate entries from my list of drivers, unless I am prepared to live with the clutter and waste of HD space. Any thoughts about how to do this without bombing my printers again?
Thanks.

LaserJet 1020 won't print first document after powering up

My LaserJet 1020 won't print the first document it receives after powering-up. Print manager shows that the document is being sent, the printer makes noise like it's getting ready to print, but the document is never printed and I don't receive an error messages. If I send the document again the document prints as does every document there after.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional and the printer is connected via USB 2.0.

Hi jnickelsen,
I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
What drivers are you using?
Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

Hope this helps.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

HP Laserjet P2055dn won't print pdf files

I have just hooked up a new iMac with Mac OS 10.9.5 and now my reliable HP Laserjet P2055dn won't print .pdf files anymore--it just hangs for hours. I am an academic and work 50% with pdf's. I tried to download a new driver from the HP site for all MAC OS systems 10.7 and up, but the message when the download was finished opened up in a little box that reads: "ljp2055_Firmware_Upd Image not recognised."
I've unplugged, plugged back in, turned off, turned back on countless times. Don't know what else to try?
Thank you.

Hi john, I did some looking around and maybe try this page for some tips, sometimes the microsoft forums help me out dearly.

HP Laserjet P1006 won't print "Printer Offline"

My hp laserjet p1006 won't print and the error message says "printer offline". The printer does show up in System Profiler. The printer is on, and connected via USB. Ready light on printer is on. Sometimes the orange light blinks but is mostly off. I tried different USB ports (eliminating the hub) and switched out the USB cable. Restarted computer and printer, updated driver and repaired disk permissions. I recently switched to Snow Leopard but the printer has printed since I switched numerous times.
I had this problem 2 weeks ago and finally it fixed itself, but since a restart it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Yes, I just downloaded the Apple HP update 2.3. The driver that was showing in my Printer Setup Utility was 1.2.0.224. Now I downloaded and installed 2.3 but the Printer Setup Utility only shows 1.2.0.224. 2.3 is not listed in the driver list. Why is that?
2.3 is the version of the update, not the version of the driver.
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669, 1.2.0.224 is the correct version of the HP driver.
Final question: why do I have problems nobody else does?
People are having a variety of problems. It may be because of permissions, previous versions of the HP software that was installed and not deleted. Since there wasn't support for this printer on Snow Leopard until the 2.2 update, it's hard to guess what the issue was, but you're not alone - read some of threads here.
If you run into this problem again, delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/hp folder, delete your printer from Print & Fax, then run Software Update and re-add the printer.
Hope this helps.

Suddenly, my HP Laserjet 6mp won't print. The icon says it's in use (but it isn't), at other times it says it's not connected (but it is). Help!

That page's troubleshooting for the "Filter failed" message worked out. I consulted the Wiki before but never found that exact page. I guess I didn't use the best search criteria. Thanks for pointing it out.

Laserjet 6P won't stop printing - prints a line of junk on each page -not connected to network or PC

My HP Laserjet 6P won't stop printing. It prints a few lines of symbols and characters at the top of each page. The printer is not connected to a network or computer. I tried shutting the printer off for a long time. This started when I tried printing from a MAC to the printer, but now there is nothing connected to the printer.
Any suggestions for resetting, etc.? I don't know how to reset this printer so I haven't tried anything with the various buttons, etc.

Disable the "Enable bidirectional support" in the P1102w Properties > Ports.

I have just bought a used laserjet 4200tn i need a driver disk and a user manual, i dont like the online support , prefer ink and paper. can i run this unit via a wireless USB dongle from my computer, or a 10m network cable.

Ink, paper and CDs are going to be hard to come by.

HP Laserjet 1200 printer occasionally won't collate

I'm supporting a machine (XP SP3) running Word 2007. Attached to this machine via parallel interface is a HP Laserjet 1200 printer.
The user says occasionally that it will not collate output, no matter what she tries. The problem just goes away on its own later. She has said that occurrences of this problem seem to be associated with power outtages.
Is this a driver issue, a Word 2007 issue, or something else? I could try refreshing and/or updating the driver, but I'd hate to introduce any new issues by doing this. It could be that there are some settings that are conflicting.
Has anybody else had this issue?
Thanks!

I think I found the problem. Leopard doesn't like my USB 2.0 PCI card. I had the same problem a while ago with an earlier version of OSX. It was resolved with an OS update. I wish I understood the value of having PCI slots on my G5, when even such a simple device as my USB card is rendered useless by a new operating system.

HP LaserJet 1320 won't print in color (Win7 64 bit, new cartridge)

I can't get my HP Laserjet 1320 to print in color any more. Changed the cartridge. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the issue started before the upgrade to Win 7. I can't even find the selection for color vs black and white printing.

The LaserJet 1320 printer is a monochrome printer, not a colour printer.

HP Color Laserjet 1515n won't print

Haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Even disconnected from the network and stand-alone, the HP Color LaserJet 1515n (product number CC377A bought at Costco not too long ago) won't print. Can't print configuration page, no demo page. Nothing. It just sits there saying "printing" and flashing but never does anything else. Tried resetting through the menus. Didn't work. Tried holding down the right arrow and X to reset NVRAM. Didn't work. Any help? For when I do get the printer to work on it's own, I'm on Windows 7.
