LaserJet 9040dn Universal Driver issues

We have just installed a new printer server running Windows 2008 R2.  We have a few Laserjet 9040dn printers installed using the Universal PCL6 driver.  I have an Excel spreadsheet that, when in Print Preview, shows gridlines, SOME OF WHICH, do not print out on the hard copy.  When I print the same document on a different printer, all lines print out on the hard copy.  This seems to happen to all of the 9040s on the network but not on the Canon printers using a Canon specific PCL6.  HELP!!??!!??
This question was solved.

I uninstalled the Universal Print Driver for HP Printers and installed the specific driver for this printer and that fixed the issue.  Thank you to me!

    I can't get the proper driver to install for my HP Laserjet Pro M1536dnf MFP printer. Support tells me that I have to have admin privledges to allow install but I have the install disc and everything installs but some missing driver. The printer will print in WORD but won't print from sites. Any suggestions?

  • LaserJet M1319f MFP Installation issue on Windows 7

    Dear HP support team and community members,
    I'm currently trying to install HP LaserJet M1319f MFP connected by USB on Lenovo Q190 machine /Intel Core i3 processor/ running freshly installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit with Bulgarian language pack, all current updates, Microsoft Forefront Protection /I also tried to disable the Real-time protection/, UAC disabled, administrator account, IE 11, .NET Framework 4.5.1. 
    The priter was working correctly with Windows XP.
    I downloaded the driver package from here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=bg&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3547...
    After the installation process reach the "Copying files to the hard drive" stage the installer return error Printer Software Installer stopped working.
    I tried running with Administrator privileges and/or Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, but the same error occurs.
    I tried Microsoft Fix It software for install/uninstall drivers too,but with no luck either.
    I cleaned the cashe and temporary files around 10-15 times.
    Windows update is not helping with the drivers too.
    I tried to extract the files from the installer and manually add the printer and got error that the installation was not successful and below it says The file was not found /if I recall it correctly/
    After that I tried HP Print and Scan Doctor software, but it displays that there is no driver installed and redirecting me to the driver download page.
    I tried the Driver Wizard software too, but it returns that this model is no supported.
    I tried to change the windows startup to "Selective startup" with "Load startup items" unchecked and all non-microsoft services disabled, but with no success.
    Under Safe mode the install won't complete because of the Print Spooler service not running, which is running normally otherwise.
    The "ntprint.inf" file is present in the "Windows\inf" folder, the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Enviroments\Windows NT x86 has only Drivers and Print Processors subkeys and the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors has only Local Port, Microsoft Shared Fax monitor, Standard TCP/IP Port, USB monitor and WSD port subkeys.
    The folders Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS and Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86 are empty.
    I ran sfc /scannow in cmd with administrator privileges, but there was no integrity violations.
    I tried to disable the IE component, but no luck either.
    So now I’m out of any ideas how to connect that **bleep** thing… I hope that someone can help me with this issue.
    Currently the devices without installed driver in the Device Manager are "Hewlett-PackardHP LaserJet M1319f MFP" /Hardware IDs USBPRINT\Hewlett-PackardHP_La28A1 and Hewlett-PackardHP_La28A1/ and HP Scan /Hardware IDs USB\VID_03F0&PID_5817&REV_0100&MI_00 and USB\VID_03F0&PID_5817&MI_00/
    I forgot to mention that I tried all kind of variations with these solutions with and without printer plugged in.
    Thank you very much in advance for any kind of guidelines.
    Best regards,
    Ivan
    P.S.: At least I think that I managed to gather all known related solutions in this topic…
    This question was solved.

    Hello Gemini02,
    First thank you for your assistance! 
    I uninstalled the IE 11 and install IE 10, but with no success related to the driver issues. I just want to mention to those who are trying to do the same that IE 11 should be removed from Add/Remove Windows components and from Installed Updates. 
    As for the solutions from your post:
    Solution 2: The build in troubleshooting is reporting that no driver is installed (obviously...), but is not helping much with the installation. Windows updates are not much of a help too... The device manager is finding the device, but can't install the driver. More detailed information about the devices in the Device manager you can find in the end of my first post.
    I'm posting some screenshots of the issue so that you can get clearer picture of the situation.
    So basically I'm downloading the official drivers from the link in my first post. I'm sure that the drivers are the correct one as I downloaded them several time to clear the possibility of technical mistake.
    But when I try to install them I get the following error:
    The Event viewer information is as follows:

    Solution 3 can't be applied to the current case as I can't install the software so I don't have what to uninstall/reinstall.
    I cleared the cache and disabled all optionally installed software in msconfig as suggested, but the issue with the installer is still not resolved.
    Solution 4 is not relevant as the device was working fine two days ago.
    Solution 5 is difficult for implementation too as the location of the device is in some kind of rural area and it is vital for the implementation of the daily duties of the employee.
    So after the failure with the solutions provided in the article I tried to extract the installer to use the drivers and manually install the printer using the file HP1319fp.ini  with the "... MFP" driver selected. I set it at new local port named USB. I'm posting the screenshot of the error i get in the end of installation:
    After I press the OK button in gets in a loop by returning to the previous page.
    I tried the same drivers with existing port USB001, but got the same result as with the new port.
    Currently I will try to rename the SoftwareDistribution folder in case that this is kind of windows update cache issue, but don't think so... I begin to think that this device driver is somehow not compatible with the computer hardware... 
    Thank you and I apologize for taking your time with such issues!
    Best regards,
    Ivan

  • HP Laserjet 1010 paper jam issue

    I know this is not specifically an Apple problem, but I have spent days searching for a solution elsewhere with no luck, so I was wondering if anyone here could help?
    My HP LaserJet 1010 had some issues with printed pages not coming right through - they jammed right at the last minute when most of the page was out.
    After carefully removing the sheet, the paper jam light is constantly flashing, despite there being no paper in sight. No amount of resetting, cleaning etc has any effect. Neither do the rollers move any more when it is switched on, as they are supposed to.
    When I try to print, the driver program gives the error:
    "Printer Error: The printer needs attention"
    Any ideas for how to solve this would be much appreciated.

    Chances are the printer has a small bit of paper that is still jammed in it. When paper jams always try to pull in the direction of the paper path! If it tears then remove the toner cartridge to see if you can see any bits of paper inside. I have the Laserjet 1012 which is a similar design, early in it's life I had a similar issue, after removing the toner cartridge and seeing all bits of paper were gone I still got an error. I then removed the top cover of the printer, located and removed the offending piece of paper, put it back together and now several thousands of pages later all is fine.
    If that doesn't work then contact HP's support (they will reply to an email with 24 hours) or go the chat route. If you try to call because you are well out of warranty there will be charge.

  • HP Laserjet 1200 and Driver Updates

    On the "Download Drivers and Software" support page for the HP Laserjet 1200 printer, there is an option, "Automatically check to see if your driver needs updating".
    A machine that I am supporting is having a MS Word collating issue (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) and I don't know if its a driver issue or not.  The machine is XP SP3.
    If I click on this link, obviously it will check the drivers, but:
    1) Will it give me the option to automatically update the drivers if it finds they are outdated, and
    2) How do I roll back to the old driver if the update introduces problems? 
    Since this potential driver update isn't going through the normal MS XP driver update routine in Device Manager, I'm leery that I won't be able to recover if something goes wrong.

    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/
    I hope this helps.

  • HP LaserJet CM1415fmw software installation issue

    Hello.
    I am having a problem with an HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fmw software installation. During the installation when the connect to printer stage is reached it takes a very long time to complete and fails with an error.
    Kindly advise if you can help.
    Regards

    Hello Bsch,
    I invite you to:
    1- Unistall/remove all the network printers installed by your PC
    2- Unistall/remove all the drivers installed by your PC specially the HP Universal driver
    3- Delete/remove all HP software files from your PC (C: / register..)
    4- Disable the Antivirus(es) and the Firewall then download again the HP Full Solution Software corresponding to your OS
    5- Disable the HP Smart install from the printer's menu (or from its Web page if you can connect it to network)
    6- Disable the HP Web services (by default this feature is disabled, then just go through the panel menu and confirm that, here you use the printer by USb so no need for this feature)
    7- Run/launch the installation by executing the setup file and be sure to maintain the printer unplugged to your PC, no USB connection at this step.
    8- Run the OS/PC device manager to check/update the USB port/driver connection-add during the printer's USB plugging (you plug the USB cable to the printer when the installation guide asks you (3rd step))
    9- Continue the installation and let's see if it can finish correctly and succeed without delay or error.
    10- Check a Print test page, Fax feature and the Scan module.
    Note: This can lead to a Full software installation, but if you just need a printing driver only you can try the same steps, although you will download and install an UPD Driver through a traditional mode (LPT1 port)
    Try to use this method for the first time when the network printers are still installed and try to see if it goes fine otherwise you step for the steps given (1-10)
    Please tell me what kind of OS you are running on your PC.
    Please tell me if this procedure is helping, then if not I can provide you with a new solution.
    Please upgrade the printer's firmware through USB connection if possible (or Ethernet like step5)
    Best regards

  • IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver

    Thanks for the help!
    Jason

    Hello
    Thanks Scott for your reply. We have resolved this issue in house as follows:
    - our Systems Support team installed the DB2 Connect client software on the DF server
    - copied the jar file to the leselect/drivers directory
    Also, because we are using the z series we needed an additional driver db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar which was copied into the same drivers dir.
    Thanks!

  • I need to print halftones via Windows 7 HP 5000 Universal driver

    Does anyone know how to print halftones through the HP Universal driver on an old HP 5000 laserjet?

    Hi,
    As mentioned above, some organisations/organizations allow user to fill out the forms very easy but many others do not have this facility. In this case, I believe the form won't let you "edit" it, therefore you need to do it by hand, using a typewriter or using a PDF editor. There is a very expensive one and there are some alternatives. Please check this (ignore the expensive one):
      http://www.labnol.org/software/edit-pdf-files/10870/
    My suggestion: just one form, using a pen may be a lot quicker.

  • Very slow wine game/nouveau driver issue

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to play a game (Civ 4) using wine. However, it was extremely laggy, and since it runs well on Windows (I have dualboot) plus it's not a very recent game and my laptop is reasonnably well-equipped, I thought it should work well on arch as well. Here is the link in the wine db. I should also add that I'm a very novice wine user so that might well be the (a) source of problem(s). Apart from the lagging, according to the sensors, the CPU's temperature rose from ~50°C to ~100°C within about A MINUTE.
    I checked cpupower to see that the cpu was allowed to run at max speed and tried optirun to use the NVIDIA graphics card rather than the Intel graphics card I have installed. I'm by no means sure that the drivers are installed or configured properly by the way...
    Starting with optirun looked to work (the loading screen came up) but when the main window should've been loaded, the application terminated with the following output:
    err:winediag:wined3d_dll_init The GLSL shader backend has been disabled. You get to keep all the pieces if it breaks.
    libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)

    Before today I only used optirun for VLC (though I don't really see a difference) and to check whether it would run with glxgears. Neither case had any problems. I tried softlinking nouveau_dri.so from the "/usr/lib/..." to the "/usr/lib32/..." directory as well as copying it but neither helped.

    Some advice how to fix the driver issue or about what else might be causing the problems is greatly appreciated!

    Besides agreeing with the notion above, you lack lib32-nouveau-dri and thus are unable to use acceleration with 32bit programs which is the undelying issue here.

  • Hard drive issues after update 10.10.3

    Question also posted here:Hard Drive Issues (Both new and old)
    I'm trapped in a HDD nightmare with my MacBook Pro mid-2012.
    I updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 (with the Photos app). A couple of days after the update, I was watching a movie on my TV screen via HDMI. In the middle of the movie I removed the HDMI cable from the MacBook Pro and everything freezes. I forced shut down (Note: My HDD was encrypted). After I forced shut down, I tried to turn on and the loading screen would never stop loading - like, 14 hours stuck with the progress bar. Since I have backups, I decided to access DU and format my HDD. I tried everything. For real. Every command line I could type on Terminal to format, repair, erase and/or partition. I read almost every issue-related questions on the forums and stack exchange groups for a week (even posted my issue here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/181090/erasing-and-partitioning-hard-dr ive-from-internet-recovery?noredirect=1#comment215695_181090).
    So, I decided that it was a HDD failure and bought a new one.
    I bought the Seagate 1TB SSHD Hybrid  - ST1000LM014. Installed the new fresh disk and guess what? All those same problems again. I´m not able to restore from Time Machine because it doesn't recognize the disk in the restore page. But the disk is recognized in the DU. When I try to erase or partition the new SSHD, the same old errors: File system formatter failed. Yes, I tired GUID Partition Table, all of the security options, etc.
    Please. Any light that you can throw at this issue, I'll be very grateful for. BTW, the new SSHD is recognized and the SMART Status says: Verified.
    Any ideas on *** is going on?
    Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), i7, 8GB RAM

    After I erase the hard drive (I assume one pass of writing zeros is good enough, 7 passes not needed?) do I turn off the laptop, then turn on and insert the Install Disk? Will there be a prompt telling me when to put in the disk? Or do I put in the disc right after erasing?
    One pass is fine. If you've previously backed up your hard drive to an external hard drive using SuperDuper!, which is what I use and recommend, or another program, if it created a bootable drive, you want to boot off of it, bring up SuperDuper! and copy the drive back to the internal hard drive. SuperDuper also makes the drive bootable. When done, reboot, and you should be all set. If you're using Time Machine, you'll want to install the operating system, then restore the Time Machine backup. SuperDuper! is available from http://www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper/superduperdescription.html
    Finally- should I update the OS? Is there a problem with the newest update that caused this crash, or was it just a spurious glitch/bad luck?
    I've been running 10.5.8 for awhile with no issues, and would recommend moving to it.

  • Can you use a Mac Mini to share documents between several devices? iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, etc...? We are a home based business with several locations across the state and are having Google Drive issues, looking into Mac Mini options.

    We are having Google Drive issues (some files won't sync) and it's causing us trouble with our business communication. Is there any way to use a Mac Mini to share documents between two people in different areas similar to google drive? Would this just be done through iCloud?

    If you use Numbers, Pages and KeyNote it si very easy to sync those document among all the Apple devices. You need montain Lion on the Mac  and at least iOS 5 on the mobile devices.
    I show those document on my Mac, iPad 4 and iPhone 4S
