LaserJet 5000 support in Windows 7 64 bit at 1200 DPI?

Hi,
We are still using our LaserJet 5000n as the workhorse of our practice for producing half-size architectural drawings. We have gone to Windows 7 64 bit and are not able to find a driver that will allow us to print at 1200 dpi. We have used the universal driver to print 11x17 but the maximum 600 dpi just doesn't cut it. Not only is the resolution lower, but the tones are completely different than on the XP machines which use an actuall 5000 driver. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Steve

Try the following: on the Windows 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 click on Windows Update and then select the appropriate driver.

HP LaserJet 5000 support in Windows 7 64-bit

I recently purchased a Dell Laptop that has MS Windows 7 64-bit OS and I have an old Dell Desktop 4400 w/Windows XP I have a HP Laserjet 5000 printer connected to the LPT1 Port. I have the printer shared and I can connect to it with my other laptop that has the MS Vista OS. I can not get my Laptop that has Windows 7 to connect to it and I have tried everything that I can think of. I logged on to my Laptop with Windows 7 and downloaded the latest driver from the HP Web Site. The drivers for the LJ5000 are called Universal Drivers. The drivers are installed on my W7 System and then I go to the Start/Devices and Printers and "Add a Printer" option. I select the "look in the network option" and Windows looks for the Shared Prnter and finds it. I select the printer and it starts looking for the driver. I think it looking on the computer where the printer is connect to anyway, it cannot find the driver. I get a dialog box that says it can not find and gives me the option to browse. I then browse to the Universal Driver that I downloaded for HP5000 and I go the folder that has the ".inf" files. The program tells me that it can not find the driver for HP5000. What am I doing wrong? Does Windows 7 support the HP Laserjet 5000 printer. I sure hope so because I can afford to buy a new 11"x17" printer. Can anybody out there help me? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Quicktime support for Windows Vista 64 bit OS

Are there plans to support the Windows Vista 64 bit operationg system?

Yes, I also got the instruction from the installer to "use the 64-bit installer", but there doesn't seem to be one. APPLE - ARE YOU LISTENING HERE? Strange that your installer gives seemingly impossible instruction.

Unable to install HP Laserjet P1005 on a Windows 7 64-bit OS system

I have attempted to install both the full package and just the driver for an HP Laserjet P1005 local printer to my personal PC which I updated the OS to MS WIndows 7, 64-bit version numerous times and I have been unsuccessful each time. On each attempt to run the installer, whether it be the full version or just the driver, and you come to the point in the installation process where you are to plug in your local printer's USB cable to your PC I keep encountering an error message indicating that the USB device is not recognized. A further investigation reveals that there is in fact an unknown device. I click on this and I encounter a Microsoft generated message which indicates the following information - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
The following Microsoft web site - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
has the following Recommended resolution
One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
Well, I went through all of the above recommended actions and I got nowhere. I went back on the web and did some further research. This time I found the following information at the following HP web page -http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-59850-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=1060&product=3435668
This was a link to an HP web page which pertained to a so-called repair utility software that was for an HP Laserjet P1000 and P1500 Series Plug and Play Recovery Utility.I tried this but it has not rectified my problem installing the driver for my local printer.If you have the magical solution to this problem I would appreciate it if you could provide it to me. Thank you.

WendyM: I seem to have EXACTLY the same problem...
- New Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Home Basic 64bit factory installed
- HP LaserJet P1005 as a local printer
- P1005 was first installed on the Vaio using the original install CD and sort of worked
- worked OK for the installing user but only intermittently for the other user
- both users had problems with the printer queue locking up in various situations (only solution was to reboot)
- decide to try and update the installation of the printer
- downloaded both the driver files you speak of from HP
- small Plug and Play file (c4Mb) got into endless loop when trying to pre-install drivers and had to be killed
- large full installation file (c167Mb) also failed to install properly
- tried uninstalling and rebooting various times after various failed attempts to get this full package to work.
- situation now is that the P1005 is simply uninstallable on the Vaio but continues to work fine on two XP machines (see below)
- a detail: when the P1005 is plugged into any machine (Vaio or XPs) USB reports that it could run faster if it was on a USB 2.0 port
- this seems to be a strange message on a 2010 Sony Vaio which obviously has USB 2.0 ports
- stranger yet, the XPs are completely unaffected by this message, and print to the P1005 normally, as they always have
The XP machines:
- One XP machine is an old 2006 HP Pavilion
- The other XP machine is a 2009 Acer netbook
- both machines with their original factory installed XPs, and both regularly updated
- the P1005 is a local printer on all machines
- each machine is plugged into it when printing is needed and the 2 XP machines always connect and print, regardless of the USB speed message
- the P1005 even works from the XPs via an unpowered USB physical hub with a USB mouse connected as well
HP really seem to have gotten themselves into a rather shameful mess over their printer drivers. In the year 2010 it seems insane that plugging a printer into a computer is so stunningly complex.
Indeed HP seems to be going rapidly backwards. The Vaio was bought to replace the old 2006 Pavilion (an excellent machine which has never put a foot wrong despite the most intensive use, and which continues to work fine if a little slowly in comparrison to the newer machines) because when we saw the HP replacement we were so repelled by its awful ergonomics, physical appearance, and ragged construction (raw metal edges round the front corners!) in comparisson to the Pavilion that we didn't need any convincing to buy the wonderfully constructed Vaio. Now we discover that a printer that works fine on XPs is unusable on Windows 7. A strange form of progress indeed.
For many years I revered the quality of HP products. No longer I'm afraid. The Pavilion became a Vaio. I wonder what will take the place of the P1005 (I am actually being extremely restrained about the P1005 because it compares miserably with its sturdy predecessor: our sadly missed HP LaserJet 1010),

Laserjet 1300 Driver for Windows 7 64 Bits

Come on HP - I need the driver for Windows 7 64 bits for my HP Laserjet 1300 series.
I installed a generic driver which works OK for some applications.
But when using my Stenograph application the box that should be printed
around the text on the printed page is NOT correct: I only see the top and left side of the box shifted by 3 inches.

Thanks very much for replying to my message. I got PCL 5 from both places -- from the Windows Update list and from the HP website. If it helps, at the hp website it is at:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=238322&p...
You can get to it through www.hp.com/go/windows7, where I also got PCL6.
I have a lenovo thinkpad x300, and connect to the LJ1300 with a USB. I installed PCL5, for example, and tried to print a simple text. But my printer does not respond (the light doesn't start to blink), and when I use the Print function, it gives me a message that indicates "error, 1 document".
I will be off of my printer for a couple of weeks but want to be up and running soon. I had hoped installation of Windows 7 wouldn't be dramatic.
Thanks once again.
The links you cite take you to a page where there are links to:
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 x64
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript x64
As the name suggests, those drivers are intended to substitute for the "real" driver that is specific to a given printer. They primarily are intended for use where a network administrator is responsible for a variety of HP printers on a single network. See http://h20338.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cache/343033-0-0-225-121.html Personally, I found the "Universal Print Driver" impossible to install and configure. Congratulations on installing it -- even if it doesn't work.
On the same page that you linked to, there is a link under the heading "Driver" that leads to "Product Support for Windows 7." That link basically leads nowhere useful for Windows 7. The conclusion that you're led to by these pages is that the only choice for Windows 7 is one of the Universal Print Drivers. This conclusion is erroneous.
I can't reconstruct how I found it, but if you go to the link in my previous post (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...) you'll get to an HP support page for using HP printers with Win 7. Essentially, this page divides various HP printers into 6 categories and describes your options for each category:
HP and Windows 7 printer driver options available for the selected product
HP print driver available
Windows 7 print driver available
HP LaserJet AIO/MFP product options
Product will be supported
Selected product is not supported in Windows 7
The Laserjet 1300 is listed as a Category 3, which means that a driver specific to this model is built-in to Windows 7. This is not the Universal Print Driver. The catch is that the driver for the Laserjet 1300 isn't available in Windows 7 out-of-the-box (at least, that's what happened in my installation). It only shows up if you permit Windows Update to update the list of built-in printer drivers.
I suggest that you completely uninstall your LJ1300. Disconnect the LJ1300. Then, right click on its icon in Printers and Devices and select "Remove Device." Then click on any other printer listed and then click on "Print server properties" in the menu bar. Click on the Drivers tab and Remove the Universal Print Driver (or whatever else looks like it's related to the LJ1300. Uninstall anything to do with the Universal Print Driver from Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program.
Now, you can take one of two approaches:
What I did was just plug the printer in and turn it on. If you've managed at some point to update the list of built-in printers, Windows should just identify and install the printer like any other USB device. Otherwise, you should get a popup asking you to give permission to search the web for a driver. Grant the permission. Windows will find the correct driver and install the printer.
Alternatively, go to Devices and Printers and start the Add Printer wizard. Tell it you're installing a local printer to LPT1. You'll get to the list of built-in printer drivers. Select HP in the left pane and scroll through the right pane. If you find the PCL5 driver for the Laserjet 1300, cancel the process and then add the printer as in the paragraph above. If you don't find an entry for the Laserjet 1300, click the Windows Update button. After a couple of minutes, the process will be finished, and now when you look there will be the PCL5 driver for the Laserjet 1300. Cancel the process and add the printer as in the paragraph above.
Good luck.

Is there a univeral printer driver for HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP on Windows 7 64 bit?

I had bought a HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer last year - up to now I could print out via the computer of my doughter (Windows XP), but now this computer is bugged and I would like to be able to use also my own Windows 7 64 bit Computer. Unfortunately the "Full solution" does not work at all, while there also appears to be no Universal Printer Driver for my special printer. In other words: I can´t use the printer and I am upset (HP at its best?).
Is there any way to get a printer driver that does what it is supposed to do?

Laserjet M1522nf driver for Windows 7 64-bit operating system

My operating system recognizes the printer on the network for printing, but not for scanning or faxing. I would like to install the correct driver, but there are five (5) different drivers listed without any explanation of the difference between them. What is the correct driver to install? Any other recommendations?

Hi,
Oracle WebLogic Server Downloads can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
I believe Oracle WebLogic Server is not certified yet on Windows 7 64-bit, and this explains why you cannot find installation files to download. More details about the product certification can be found at:

Have you plugged the printer into your router and does it have a proper IP address? If so:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

ECC 6.0 and Sol Man 7.0 support on Windows Server 32 bit OS

Dear Experts,
I have read that SAP is moving towards 64 bit implementation.
I have to install ECC 6.0 and Solution Manager 7.0 on a Windows Server. We have yet to purchase the hardware and to decide the hardware config I need answers to the following.
Is ECC 6.0 and Solution Manager 7.0 supported on Windows 2003 server 32 bit OS?
Should I buy 64 bit hardware for both or should I go for 32 bit hardware?
Thanks and Regards,
Shailendra

> No Need to buy 64bit hardware.
You're aware that successor releases are only available on 64bit? And also the fact, that certain functionality may not work in Solution Manager (e. g. activation of BI cubes etc.)? If he wants to go for EHP4 on ERP he needs to install EHP3 first and then EHP4 using SAINT - which needs a lot of downtime.
SAP recommends using only 64bit system and I can just HIGHLY support that:
Note 931024 - FAQ: 64-bit platforms for Windows
<...>
As of basis release 6.20 productive use of 32-bit platforms is not recommended.
<...>
and
Note 1280759 - SAP recommends only 64-Bit Windows for SAP Appl. Servers
<...>
Therefore, we recommend that you only use 64-bit for your SAP system. Use Windows 64-bit also on small test and demo systems to become familiar with it. Otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of time and money optimizing your ABAP or Java application servers to run on 32-bit.
<...>
Almost all servers produced in the last two years are 64bit capable - so I'd check if the server really doesn't support a 64bit OS.

How to install HP Color LaserJet 4600 Networked to Windows 7 (64 bits) ?

I am running windows 7 64 bit trying to connect to a HP color laser jet 4600. We have tried multiple times to get a Notebook to load the driver. Everything works and asks to print a test page. When you press print test page nothing happens and nothing will print.
This is a working printer. It is presently hooked to a network and it works from it. I am trying to make it work from my notebook. I am using a ethernet cable wired directly to the Jetdirict card.
Do I need to set up a network. I know the IP of the printer and can not access it from the Notebook.

This should work for you. I've installed several printers using a Jet Direct this way:
Install the printer manually. Go into Devices and Printers -> Click "Add a printer" then select "add a local printer" and select the option for "Create a new port - Standard TCP/IP Port" and click next. Type the IP address of the printer into the Hostname/IP Address field then click "next" - Choose Hewlett Packard Jet Direct from the Standard drop down menu then click next. You will need to select your printer model/driver from the list and then click next.

Why did Apple drop support on Windows XP 64-bit, but not on 32-bit?

I have Windows XP 64-bit and do not feel the need to get a new computer or upgrade the operating system. What I wonder is why Apple still makes iTunes for 32-bit XP and not 64-bit XP?

Not sure why you would expect anyone here to know the exact answer to your question considering none of us work for Apple, but it's probably because 1. XP64 is horrible. 2. It's user base is and always has been low. 3. XP64 was no doubt geard toward corporations, while XP32 and iTunes are consumer oriented versions.
