LaserJet 4P and Windows 8.1

Bought a new ASUS PS running Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and I'm having a heck of a time finding the proper driver for my LaserJet 4P. I've spent hours combing through the different pages of HP support and it keeps telling me that I should be able to find the driver by clicking on 'Windows Update' while installing the printer. When I do that, it comes back with a lot more drivers, and even one for the LaserJet 4. But NOT one for the LaserJet 4P! Completely frustrated! The various pages of the HP support say that the 4P is supported in Windows 8.1, but if that's the case, what can't I find the correct and proper driver?

Hi,
No, no longer support and with a bit of luck, Windows 8.1 can install a generic driver for your computer. It is not on the following list:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03168175#N53356
Last driver was around 2001 or 13 years ago:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome?sp4ts.oid=15028&ac.admit...
Hope this will save your time to looking for not-existing driver.
Regards.

HP LaserJet 1018 and Windows 8.1

Hello,
I was trying to select the "Print directly to the Printer" option under my 1018's printer properties, but I keep getting the following:
"Printer Properties
Printer settings could not be saved
The specified datatype is invalid"
Can anyone instruct me as to how to fix this? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!

Hello Candi_970,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that when you try to set the printer setting "Print directly to the Printer" for the Laserjet 1018 on Windows 8.1, but it will not allow it.
You could try running the Print and Scan Dr on the computer. This will not allow you to set the "Print directly to the Printer" setting, but it could fix a driver or software issue the is preventing it.
Let me know if this has helped.

HP Laserjet P2055dn and windows 8 PCL6 error

Hello everyboby,
I have a network of two PCs and a networked HP Laserjet P2055dn. The PCs were in windows xp pro and everything go fine. I have changed their PCs with Hp Pro and windows 8 64bits as OS. Since the PCs are windows 8, both users have random PCL6 errors when they print. It does not occur everytime. I have updated the printer firmware to latest ==> same issue.
When i look at the printer configuration, i see that Laserjet P2055dn supports Pcll5e and ps but no PCL6. But on the HP site, for windows 8, there's only PCL5 and Ps driver !!! Anyway, i have tried each driver: PCL6, full software solution driver, Universal print ==> same issue.
Does anyboby has encounter this issue ? What is the solution ?
Thanks to everybody for interest, Sincerly yours, David from France

AlarconDavid,
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/ .

Laserjet 6P and Windows 8.1 Driver

The Laserjet 6P is not in the Printer list in Windows 8.1 and I don't see it as a supported OS at HP.com. Does anyone know a driver in Windows 8.1 that I can use for my old, but sturdy Laserjet 6P?

My Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system has built-in drivers for this printer model:
I don't know whether the drivers are present on a fresh Windows install; they may only have appeared in the list after the Windows Update button was clicked on the above Add Printers dialogue, then waiting (perhaps for several minutes) whilst additional drivers were downloaded, and the list repopulated.

Printer error with HP Laserjet 6L and Windows 7

I have an old but still functional HP Laserjet 6L (from the late 1990s), which is connected to a new computer running Windows 7 via USB. Windows 7 found the necessary drivers, but I am having frequent printer errors come up in the Printer queue, and the machine refuses to print. The problem is 'solved' when I restart my PC, and the document then prints. However this is a pain, and I obviously don't want to have to restart every time I want to print.
I would be very grateful for any advice on this. Thanks.

Hp color laserjet 2025 and windows 7

Subject
I have two hp color laserjets. Toolbox cannot be installed with windows 7 pro. Toolbox worked well with windows xp pro. How can I determine amount of remaining color toner and other necessary information without toolbox. There is no toolbox upgrade on the hp website.

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 LASERJET SERVICE and WINDOWS 7 PRO CRASH

My windows 7 pro 64bit will lock up every so often and when I restart and run the Windows reliability monitor there's always a critical error "HP Laserjet Service" which stopped working right at the same time as the crash.
In msconfig/services the box is checked and the status is stopped.
That critical error message is always the only one listed by the way.
Printer is the P1102W and I'm only using the wifi.
Printer always works fine.
Appreciate any suggestions.
This question was solved.

Hi aelumley , Sorry to hear you are still having issues. After reinstalling the printer, the icon is now grayed out.
Did you try turning the Laserjet Services in the Startup items back on again to see if that would fix this issue?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
I would run the Microsoft Fix It Tool to see if it will help.
Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically.
Sfc /scannow will inspect all of the important Windows files on your computer, including Windows DLL files. If System File Checker finds an issue with any of these protected files, it will replace it.
How To Use SFC /Scannow to Repair Windows System Files.
If you have another computer, install the printer on it to see if you have the same results.
Please let me know the outcome.
Thank You.

HP Laserjet P1606dn and Windows Server 2012

We have 3 HP Laserjet P1606dn printers that we need to install on a Windows Server 2012. Unfortunately, there is no drive available for Windows Server 2012. Will HP be releasing an updated driver for this printer? If not, are there any workarounds? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi ks267,
I don't know if or when there would be an updated driver to work with Windows Server 2012, but I can offer you a link to subscribe to notifications for driver updates. Subscribe to HP alerts and updates.
The only workaround I can think of is to install the software on each computer rather than installing it on the server. Although if you have 20+ computers that would not be ideal I am sure Please bear in mind, my technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I have no training on servers.
Maybe your request for a workaround will be answered by another community member who knows more about them.

Problems with HP Laserjet CM1017 and Windows 8.1

I have a HP Laserjet CM1017 MFP printer and I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Now when I go to Control Panel/Devices and Printers/Adjust Print Options, I get an error message:
"Function Discovery Print Provider DII has stopped working"
I also get this message:
"Function address 0x11272fc8 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) The application property sheet page(s) may not funtion properly."
How do I fix these errors?

@tenkeypro
First, I would suggest you uninstall the exsisting driver and reinstall following one of these documents to see if it will clear this error message:
Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer (32-bit and 64-bit)
Universal Print Driver (no scan)
Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update

LaserJet 2200 and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit - a mutual disagreement society?

In upgrading my XP Professional system to Windows 7, I've got a real problem linking to my LaserJet 2200d printer. The store that did the upgrade mistakenly upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7, but the printer worked fine. In doing the proper upgrade to 64-bit 7 Pro, a problem arose - nothing prints and the data light on the Laserjet 2200 does not even flash. Observables:
1. I've tried all the 64-bit drivers published from Microsoft via Windows Update and from HP. Nothing works, including the universal printer driver and regressing to the 32-bit driver.
2. The printer shows as installed, but with a yellow, triangular warning sign, yet there are no details on the problem or suggested fixes.
3. Windows Troubleshooter doesn't fix the problem.
4. I thought to uninstall all the drivers and start fresh, but links to HP's driver uninstaller yield a "page no longer available" error message.
I use this printer as my workhorse - sure would appreciate some help. I'm a nontechie, so step-by-step instructions would be very helpful. Thanks!

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 HP Enterprise Business Community.

Can't get driver to work for HP Laserjet 1150 and Windows 7 laptop

windows 7 64 bit PS driver for Laserjet 1150 is looking for .inf file. Not in driver folder. won't connect to printer.
Help

For the 1415 you need to download an application that runs on your computer and then installs the new firmware in the printer. You can find that firmware program here:

Networked Laserjet 5MP and Windows 8

Is there any way to print to a networked Laserjet 5MP (networked via an ethernet connection) using Windows 8? I have Windows 8 Pro and work exclusively on the desktop side of the OS.
When I run the HP Printer Install Wizard, it discovers my printer, but informs me there are no drivers for it. Is there any workaround for this? My 5MP is still working like a champ, so I'd rather not have to purchase a new one just because there are no drivers for it on Windows 8.

I'm running Windows 8.1 (rather than Windows 8), and this has a built-in driver available for HP LaserJet 5MP, so i suspoect that Windows 8 will also have a built-in driver.
You may need to click the Windows Update button in the Add Printer dialogue (and then wait, perhaps several minutes, until the drivers are downloaded, and the list is repopulated) before the driver becomes available.

LaserJet Printers and Windows 10 drivers

LaserJet Customers, hp.com is experiencing Windows 10 download issues with some software bundles for LaserJet printers- If you do not find the software bundle for your printer under the Windows 10 download option for your product- check to see if there is a Windows 8.1 software download for your product and use that download instead. To check and see if your product is support in Windows 10, check this compatibiity matrix. Thank you.

Hi alternet, Sorry, I was offering a workaround to the original post about left-to-right and right-to-left gestures. @alternet: To your inquiry about Bluetooth disconnect, I had the same issue with Windows 8.1, so I do not believe the issue is specific to Windows 10. My current N700 with bluetooth works well with Windows 10 and manages to reconnect after restarting. I don't know whether it'll work for you, but I did the following and it worked: 1) Remove all previous installations of N700 on the computer, 2) Pair it up in mouse/bluetooth mode, 3) Don't touch the mouse, leave it there, 4) Restart the computer and login, 5) Make sure Bluetooth is on, 6) Move the mouse so it pairs automatically. From then onwards, the pairing would work whenever I turn on the mouse and computer. Let me know how it goes!
