Not printing with Windows 7 & LaserJet P1006

Installed Windows 7 and my P1006 stopped working.  Just downloaded the Windows 7 driver and get the same results.  When I print the job queues then completes but no action from the printer.  I tried both the full function and host based drivers and get the same results.  Note that the printer worked under Windows Vista.

It's been a while since this message, but I am having the same problem and I have a partial solution.  I downloaded the new windows 7 driver ( I had to uninstall the XP driver before installing the W7 driver) for the P1006 and found that if I print something from Notepad it will print.  After I have printed from Notepad then I can print from Word, Excel and the web.  But I have to reprint from Notepad after I run out of paper, the system goes to sleep or if the system or the printer is powered off and then powered on again.  Can you do this?  Any ideas why this strange behavior?
Thanks,

  • H-P Laserjet 4L printer will not print with Windows 7 operating system. Need help

    I have an H-P Laserjet 4L printer that worked fine with a Dell PC and Windows XP. But, it no longer worked when the PC was updated to Windows7. I was advised to buy an adapter that would accept the H-P plug and connect to the PC by means of a  USB port. I did that, but the H-P still will not print. Anyone know what to do about this problem?

  • LaserJet M125a not printing with Windows XP SP3

    Hi everyone.
    Today I bought new printer. I wanted instal this printer on my old pc with Win xp but during installation appears window with warning " software for this device: "printer" has not passed compatibility testing with windows xp system". Nonetheless installation is going to end. After all I can only copy and scan. When I try print something, it looks as if the print process is working, nothing happens and there isn't list of not printed items. I have installed printer on my laptops with Win 7 and Win 8.1 and everything is fine.
    Sorry for my grammatical mistakes. I have to translate this from polish
    I hope someone can help me solve this issue. A lost all day to find any solutions ;/

    Hi @Karol_szc ,

    IE is integrated into Windows and is part of the Windows updates.
    I suspect you need IE 7 at least. I believe this is because HP software piggy backs from Internet Explorer.

  • HELP!!!  My MacBook & Printing with an HP LaserJet P1006

    I've been trying to print using an HP LaserJet printer, but everytime I go to the print window, there is an exclamation point next to the listed printer which doesn't allow me to print.
    All help I've read about suggests going to the "print center" to fix this. Which is what I would do on my old powerbook and ibook, simply deleting print jobs and starting over.
    However, I can't seem to find the Print Center on my macbook. It's just not there. When I go to Utilities, there's no printer access links there either. Nor does the printer icon show up in my dock as it used to do with my other printer and on my other computers. Am I missing something in my system?
    What's going on? Can anyone suggest a fix?
    Much thanks in advance...

    I had this problem. The computer wasn't recognizing the location of the printer in all MS Office 2004 documents. You need to delete and add the printer.
    To delete and add the printer, follow these steps:
    1. On the Sys Pref menu, click print & Fax.
    2. In the next window, you will see the HP Laserjet P1006 listed in your list of available printers.
    3. Click to select (i.e. highlight the HP P1006) in the Printer list.
    4. Click Delete.
    5. Click Add.
    6. In the Connection Method list, click the connection method that is used by your printer.
    7. In the Printer list, click the printer that you want to add, and then click Add.
    Go back to your Office document and try printing. Hope this helps.

  • PSC 2175 not printing with Windows XP

    Hello,
    This printer has worked great since the first day with the setup below, but I cant figure this out.
    Setup
    Connection using USB
    O/S windows XP sp3
    System is connect to ATEn KVM Switch USB.
    windows share with other  windows machines.
    Issue
    The printer goes to print, but feed the paper instead.  All computer on the my home network do the same with Windows xp, except windows vista which print.   The printer is shared through windows xp.  The testing software from Hp is able to print and it comes out find. The alignment test comes out fine, but thats it. It seem the drivers right, but I DON'T KNOW!!!  
    Solution tried.
    Reinstall the drivers from HP. download, uninstalled the printer software, restarted windows xp, installed the new download drivers. BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. Confusing issue.  The Mac Mini with OS 10, prints out of it. no problem. both the Mac Mini and Windows XP box are plug in the Kvm switch. It sound like a driver problem, but they have just been reinstsalled on the windows machine. The vista laptop uses the windows xp box to use the printer.
    Its a great little printer, need help in understanding this problem.  By the way Mac Mini print out great on it.
    signed confused, but hopefull 

    The hp status icon in th status bar says "Your hp psc 2170 series is ready.", The test page acts as if everything is fine, but the printer select the page and feeds correctly, the printer heads passes twice on the top of the page, then the page is feed through without  printing anything. 
    I tried the hp Services " Open the hp toolbox"  the following has been tested and work .
    Calibrate the device Ok
    clean the printer Cartridge not tested
    Print a test page  ok
    Print a Diagnostic page ok
    All printing out the usb, but the test page of windows does as mentioned above.
    Just making sure, both the Mac and windows box are setup on the kvm switch and have been like that for over a year. The usb that the printer is connect to is the kvm switch, which is switch over to the active system.  I really seem like a driver problem.  
    Appreciate any insights.

  • Excel 2013 Border Lines not printing with Windows 8

    Hi. I have a problem with Excel files not printing the border lines of the cells in documents.
    There are 3 laptops with Windows 8 64bit in our company now using Office 2013. Only today did they mention to me that the borders from only those Laptops are not printing. In the PrintPreview it shows them, but they dont print. From my work PC that's using
    Windows 7 64bit and Office 2013 they do print.
    I'fe printed the a PDF printer on thier PC's but it also prints without the borders. These files are automatically created in excel format by the software our comapany uses, every user recives he's file via email and can then print it or send it to customers.
    The software does not display the title boxes correctly when using the default windows 8 theme (you cant see what you are typing, the background is black and the text aswell). To get past this we select High Contrast theme (thers no CLASSIC theme in windows
    8) and then tweak the settings a bit to get it as close to classic as possible.
    Now it seems like when you use high contrast as a theme Excel does not print broders, I came across this on the internet whit other people also having this problem. Thers no solution that I found that I can implement on those three laptops. I cant change
    the theme back if they wont be able to read what they type, and I dont know how to get the borders to print in every excel file they get in the future without having them to go through a whole process of changing settings everytime they need to print.

    Hi,
    If you use Excel program to create a file, then print it, Does this issue still persist?
    Also what happens if you change the borders style within Excel? for example, change the border line to thick.
    Also it seems that  a similar topic has been discussed here:

  • Deskjet 6980 will not print with Windows 7

    This printer worked fine until a recently. Now I cannot print from Windows 7 desktop computer. The printer shows that it is offline. The report page from the printer tells me everything is connected and OK. I can print from my lap with XP Home Edition with no problems. I followed several ideas on this forum  and other web sites but none of them worked. If I restart the spooler, I get Error - Printing and nothing else. I ran the Windows 7 troubleshooter but it said it can't fix the problem. I can open the printer web page and everything looks OK. I installed Windows 7 in November and it has been printing OK until now.  Windows update says everything is up to date. I did install the patch mentioned here. Any ideas?

    Did you delete the printer in Devices and Printers and re-add it?

  • HP6380 will not print with Windows 7 new install

    I have an HP 6380 All-in-one printer. It has never given me any problem when
    printing in Vista. We purchased a new laptop for the Wife with Win 7. I
    installed the printer on there with no problems.
    I then decided to upgrade my laptop to 7 Ultimate. What I did was set my laptop as a dual boot machine and Win7 then became a full install, not upgrade.
    When I did network printer discovery, 7 performed a search, found the printer,
    and set it up. I did the test page print with success. I could not print
    anything past that point and subsequent test pages failed.
    I went to the HP web site and found a driver download that was supposed to
    include 7 support. The installed printer was removed and I ran the new setup.
    Still nothing past the initial test page would print. Further research on the HP
    site made reference to a patch and reboot which did not fix the problem. There
    was another utility on HP site that removed all installed printer files to allow
    a fresh install, no luck.
    At this point I decided to compare the printer properties between the Wife's
    system and mine. Her system called to a port labeled WSD Port HP38147 (HP
    Photosmart 6300 Series).
    On mine, the reference was to a TC/IP port with the network address of
    192.168.1.102.
    I tried to change this to a local port also.
    There was NO option for a WSD port, and when I tried to add a port, the only
    options were Local or TCP/IP.
    For now I am having to save items for printing, then go to my Vista via
    dual-boot and print there, a royal PIA.
    In Vista BTW the port is labeled Standard TC/IP port HP Photosmart C6300 Series.

  • HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
    Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
    Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX  feature of  the printer with Windows 7   64 bit  operating system.
    All replies welcomed!   Aaron in Calif.

    Hi Aaron,
    Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

  • HP B500 Wireless Bluethooth Adapter for HP Printer Not Working With Windows 8.1

    I have been using the HP BT500 bluetooth Wireless adapter to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer.  I have been using Windows Vista, but recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I learned after the upgrade that the HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter is not compatable with Windows 8.1.  I have attempted to find a driver upgrade for the B500, but there does not appear to be one available.  I have also searched the HP site and other sites in an attempt to locate an alter wireless blotth adapter to replace the B500, but have again been unable to locate one. 
    Is there a wireless bluetooth apter that will allow me to print wirelessly to my HP Office Pro 8500 from my laptop?

    Hi @Raider83,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter for your HP Officejet 8500 is not working with Windows 8.1. I am sorry to hear this but happy to look into this for you!
    I am not sure if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. But sometimes with Windows 8.1 you can use compatibility mode to install an older version of the driver. Which might help the situation. Here is a link to some other Windows drivers, HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Drivers.
    Once you got a driver downloaded, follow this guide, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows, on how to install it using compatibility mode.  It is not guaranteed to work, but it is worth a try!
    If you still need me to look for other bluetooth adapters, please respond with your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As there are multiple HP Officejet 8500 printers.
    Thank you for posting, and have a nice day!

  • Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

    I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
    As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
    I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

  • Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

    I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
    I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
    The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
    I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
    The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
    Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
    Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
    This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
    The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
    Printer not responding
    This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
    Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
    My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
    Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
    Thanks in advance.

    That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
    Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
    How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?

  • Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

    Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
    Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work?  If so, this may help you.  A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed. 
    Before You Start
    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer. 
    USB.  You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m).  Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub. 
    Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
    Wireless.  You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network. 
     1.     Installing Via USB
    Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users.  In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection.  If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install.  In Windows 8, that will not be a problem.  If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
    For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s really that easy.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
    For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    Alternate Install Methods
    With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS.  These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system.  If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest.  There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason.  You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates. 
    Printer Install Wizard:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Windows Update:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date.  Check the support site linked below for driver availability.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit and Laserjet P1006

    Hello,
    I am just wondering if the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit is compatible with the HP Laserjet P1006 printer. It is not listed on the compatibility list but I have read several accounts of people who claim to be using them together. I have also read posts that state they are not compatible. Either way, they will not work together for me so I am trying to figure out if it is something I am doing wrong in the setup or if the two pieces of hardware are simply not compatible. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Lauren
    P.S. I am using a Dell XPS M1310 Notebook with Vista.

    Hi,
    I guess that would help:
