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.

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/ .

N73 and windows media player driver

hi everyone,
im having a problem installing the windows media player driver off the disc for the n73 it installs everything else but fails to install that anyone know where i can down load a copy.?
ive got:
pc suite 6.83
windows xp service pack 2
windows media player 11
cheers

I have the latest version of Windows Media Player 11. I have the same problem and will try to explain the steps in the best way I can.
I connect the N73 to the laptop using a cable
I select media player and press ok twice.
Found New Hardware box appears and tells me "Windows needs to install driver software for your N73.
I select the recommended option "Locate and install driver software"
After a few moments I am then asked to insert the CD that came with the N73. It doesn't work as it is an old CD with old drivers from last year.
I select I don't have CD option and I get "problems and reports caused by mobile phone" message etc.
I have tried installing the latest CA-52 driver but I cannot install since I have the latest PC Suite. Windows Media Player is also set up to automatically download licenses required to play and synchronised tracks.

Audigy 2 Value and Windows 7 64bit driver don't work

my first Audigy SE before Audigy 2 Value (SB0400) worked perfect on Windows 7 64bit
with Audigy 2 Value SB0400 i tried 3 drivers , including the beta from the creative support , original and daniel_k driver and after reboot the windows hangs at LOGO and stays there.

Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

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:

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 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.

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.

Problems with Bootcamp and windows 7 graphic driver

So I installed windows 7 ultimate on my 24" Imac 2.93GHZ with a Nvida GT 120.
I installed the boot camp software on windows, which installed the graphics driver and everything.
Anyway so I downloaded Dungeons and Dragons online cause I wanted to see how the performance is.
When I run it, it says no sutible graphics drivers were found, check to see if your system meets the requirements.
Which it does, the game is quite old and could run on a old Geforce 6600.
So I went to Nvidia to look for the driver, I thought I found the right one, downloaded it, but it didn't work saying that I didn't have the card. Am I supossed to download the mobile version of this driver?
Thanks!

Fixed it, just needed to upgrade my bootcamp.
