LaserJet 5100 printing issue

I have a LaserJet 5100 - purchased in 2005 - worked great until I just bought a new HP Pavilion computer. It prints normal text fine but having issues printing 11x17 pdf drawings. I have tried loading updated drivers from HP site, called HP and talked to 3 people who didn't help, and talked to the Geek Squad at BestBuy who suggested I buy a new printer! Well, this printer works great so I need help getting it to communicate to the new computer!! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Connecting to HP LaserJet 5100 printer on Win7, 32bit PC from a Win7, 64bit PC

I'm having a heck a time trying to add a printer that is on another machine. The printer is an HP LaserJet5100 and is connected to a Win7, 32bit pc using a pcl6 driver. The PC I want to add this other printer to is a Win7, 64bit. I went to HP Drivers and downloaded a HP LaserJet 5100 pcl6 driver for Win7, 64bit, and ran it, using traditional mode, on the PC that I'm trying to install a printer to. I chose "Add a network Printer..." and then pick the printer that I want to connect to. I get a Windows Printer Installation pop up that says "Checking for Windows Update. This might take a while..." and then get another popup that says "No driver found". I then get another pop up to locate the driver. Browsing to the driver files that I just download, I find eleven files of the .inf file type, but none of them are the right file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Color LaserJet 3800 Printing Issues

I am in the process of upgrading our desktop computers to Windows 7 Pro (x64). In preparation for this we setup a new print server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and created new print queues for each of the printers on our old Windows 2003 server, installed curent drivers for each, and thought that all would be good.
The issue I am seeing is that our users who are printing to an HP Color LaserJet 3800 are getting letter spacing issues where some letters are crushed together and others are too widely spaced (see example above). I can print the same document to an HP Color LaserJet 3600 everything looks correct.
I have verified that the print server has the HP Color LaserJet 3800 driver that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 and that the other printer is running the HP Color LaserJet 3600 driver. These are both probably the ones available through Windows Update. Finally, we have tested a solution where the Universal Print driver is intalled locally and that seems to work fine. However, I don't want to have drivers individually installed if I can help it.
Any ideas here?

HP Laserjet 3055 printing issues

I have a HP Laserjet 3055 which used to work fine and now won't print from my iMac. It's connected through USB directly to my iMac and I've reloaded the drivers a few times. I can scan but whenever I print, it goes to the active printing screen, then just shows up as a completed job without ever printing. If I go to HP Director, all the buttons work except for the "Maintain Device" button which brings up a "Error accessing device configuration page." when pressed. Also, the printer is hooked up to my network (through router) and all other Windows machines are able to print so it's some kind of issue with the Mac. Any help appreciated.

I have the same problem. I've done everything.

Color LaserJet 5550 Printing Issues

Hi All,
I am having one problem on 2 HP Color LaserJet 5550 printers. The problem seems to be sporadic in nature, but on some full page prints, a small black line is printed across the image. I have tried running a PQ Troubleshooting test through the printer's diagnostics option, but everything seems to print fine when I do this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

How do I install a hp laserjet 5100 printer?

I'm having trouble installing an hp laser jet 5100 series to my iMac (os 10.9.5 Maverick).
Is this printer too old for this computer?

Your printer is listed in this article: OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
You should connect it via USB, power it on and install the software via: "Apple menu > Software Update"

HP Laserjet 1100 Print Issue

I have above printer connected to Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 laptop system. When sending print job to printer the print queue appears to process normally (job shows up, changes status, then disappears). However printer never responds: lights do not blink and nothing prints.
I disconnect the printer and connect it to a Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 3 system (using same printer cable) and printer operates correctly! So the printer cable should be OK.
I connect a different printer--a Canon--to each computer system and it works correctly. So the print cable port on the laptop should be OK.
I downloaded the latest driver for the 1100 from HP site onto the laptop, removed the printer defn and re-added the printer...same problem.
Any thoughts as to why the printer is not responding when sending print job? Printer is still good...hate to toss it in the trash.
Note that these 2 computer systems are stand-alone (no networking between them) as is the printer.
Thanks.

Hi there. This is funny, or sad really. I have the exxact problem. When it doesn't print it says this printer is not connected.
That just can't be. What about firmware? While nosing around the HP site I noticed it says firmware needs to be updated.
I'm not sure how to do this.
Have a great day,
Zarifa

HP Laserjet P1505 printing issue

I am a PC person and MACs are new to me so I'm not sure how to get this printer to work at the office.
I've installed it and it will print one or two time and then everything gets stuck in the queue. I can't resume and end up having to delete the jobs, restart and try again. I've gone to the HP site and installed their driver and software but it still does the same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a MAC newbie? Is there a better printer out there for the MAC than this one?

Hi snirpy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try this 1st, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Which exact Mac do you have, btw?

HP Laserjet 1005 printing issue..please help!

Hi there
I am having a problem with my printer. I bought it back in sept 09 and its been great until recently. I will be in the middle of printing a document on the correct letter size and i will get a error message on my computer telling me to load paper when I already have the paper loaded. The rest of my document will not print and it will sit in the queue. I then have to restart my computer, unplug and plug back in the printer to get it to work everytime. Its getting very annoying. I made sure all the drivers are up to date. Any suggestions???

Printing from Mac to HP Laserjet 5100 dtn without internet

Hello
I have a Mac Book Pro using OS X 10.5.8 and a HP Laserjet 5100 dtn. In my room there is no Internet. Is there any possibility to send files directly to my printer only by using a ethernet cable? How can I print? Thank you for your help.
Christian
This question was solved.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought would happen.
Do you have a wired or wireless router? It will not have to be connected to the Internet to work. It will issue the printer an IP address and your Mac will be happy.

Windows 7: Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6 slow network printing.

Hello, I'm trying to setup Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6 that is connected to a WinXP SP2 machine as my Windows 7 x64 default LAN printer. Steps I've done so far:
1. Downloaded HP UNC 5.0.3.
2. Installed it.
3. Tried printing test page, notepad text with no results.
4. In UNC add printer dialog, selected my printer and set test feature to minimal.
5. Tried printing test page. Printer responded and printed an error message, about an unsupported kernel command.
6. Went to Start-devices and printers-add printer, local, LPT_1, Search Driver in Windows Update, Hp LaserJet 5100 PCL6, finish.
7. Accessed "Local Printer" properties, went to Ports selected \\%winxppc%\HP_5000 HP_UNC port.
8. Printed test page, notepad text, AutoCad 2011 Plot. Tested A4 and A3 formats, everything printed fine.
The problem is when trying to print a large file ~25-50 Mbytes it takes from 10 to 20 minutes to print, whereas the same file sent from the other WinXp machine prints much much faster.
So, any possible solutions?

BUMP!
