Print using LPR to Hewlett Packard Designjet 120nr

I am attempting to set up an LPR connection from OS X 10.5.2 to a Windows 2003 Server based queue.
When I add the printer, I am prompted for Server and queue name, this aspect is fine and I have set up other networked printers using this method o.k.
However, when I try to setup the designjet 120 using the same method, I am unable to find the Print Driver in the list of available files.
If I set the printer up selecting the HP IP Print option, the operating system automatically detects the HP Printer and makes the driver available for use.
Is it possible to access this 'built in' driver when configuring LPD printer connections?
Hewlett Packard do not make the driver available for download - they say that it is built in to Leopard. Apple state the same.
Any help appreciated

I'm sorry if I was too brief with my explanation. The driver provided by HP contains code for the direct USB connection and code for the HP IP proprietary protocol. Since it was coded this way, it bypasses the "filter pipe" system in CUPS. If you'd like to read more, this type of print driver is called a monolithic driver in CUPS documents. A driver that makes use of the standard comm protocols provided by CUPS is called a "modern" (I call it a CUPS-) driver.
You can't get a non-CUPS driver to work by changing the comm protocol to LPD.
There is another option. You could set up the Windows server to be a postscript RIP/server:

(Sorry, but I don't actually know if it will work with a Server Windows version.)

EA6300 - Windows TCP/IP Printing Using LPR Protocol to USB ??

I am in process of replacing an old Zyxel router with (probably) an EA6300 (depending on the answer to this post...)
Currently I have a Dymo USB label printer connected to the Zyxel's USB port, and my Windows 7 clients are set up to print to that device using the LPR protocol through a Windows TCP/IP print port connected to 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of the Zyxel).
So my question is whether the EA6300 will work in the same way?

Hi Andrew! Yes the VUSB software must be installed on your Windows 7 computer for it to be able to see the printer that will be connected to the USB port of the EA6300 and be able to print . Here's more information about the EA6300, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=7e5454f239a946599bd151dccb031a57_Getting_to_know_t...

Thank you once again Matthew. I understand the importance of being thourough and followed your instruction exactly. I really thought that this would solve it and was ready to click 'This solved my question'. However I still have the same print options as before, no 'A1 on the roll'.
Although, when I copied:
'sudo pkgutil --forget org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip'
into Terminal it did say somehting along the lines of 'nothing found' (sorry I didnt copy the text). Could this be part of the issue?
In this case the instructions were incorrect. I forgot that the uninstaller would run that command. The reason for that command was to let the system know that foomatic-rip 4.0.6 had been removed. I am sure that you were able to then install foomatic-rip version 3.43.2.15. There are two ways to confirm that the older version is now installed. First, if you can print at all, it is present. You could also copy and paste the following command in the Terminal. It should respond with the version that is installed:
pkgutil --pkg-info org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip | grep version
Do I need to change the PPD at all?
There is no need to change the PPD. PPDs are reflective of the software (drivers) that are called from the PPD. You can put anything you want in the PPD. If that capability is not in the driver, having it in the PPD won't make it work.
Setting a job to print from A1 Roll Paper is a two step process. First you select the Paper Size which is A1.
Then look under the pop up menu below Paper Size for an item called Paper Feed.
Select Paper Feed. Then you will be able to select where/how the paper is being fed to the printer. This is where you can choose Roll Paper (Cut) or Roll Paper (No Cut) among other choices.
Other drivers may have A1 Roll Paper listed under Paper Size. Perhaps that is how the HP driver was. There would still have had to be a place, then to check whether or not you wanted the paper to be cut and/or whether you were feeding sheets of paper from one of the other paths.
Let us know if you can find all the options now and that you are able to keep your normal workflow.

Using printer hewlett packard 1022

I just brought my old printer from the basement and tried to connect it to my iMac (MacOs 10.4.11). I can´t add the printer to my list. in fact the mac sees the printer, but the "add"-button remains grey, so I con´t proceed. I downloaded the newest printer software package from apple.com, just to find out, that it is for macOs 10.5 or higher.
does anyone have an idea how to add the printer?
it´s pretty urgent, because my woman wants to print out the invitations for the wedding...
thanx, m .

Try this version instead:

Best of luck on your upcoming wedding. I recommend skipping the fancy vacation Honeymoon -- it gives many couples unrealistic expectations of married life.

Hewlett Packard Combo Printer Scanners - Supporting Software and Leopard

Just to let everyone know my brand new HP ColorSmart C7280 works fine in Leopard when used for printing but the scanning software isn't quite up to the job just yet. Also it doesn't like MPA2 encryption when used with the Airport Extreme. I had to drop down a level of security.
I have contacted HP and they say I need to keep an eye open on their website for when an update for their PhotoSmart software is available for Leopard. There isn't an update available yet and, furthermore, they don't know when there is going to be one.
This is fair enough but you might wish to *contact HP first* if you are using Leopard and are considering getting a Hewlett Packard combo printer/scanner/copier.
Other than this, the HP machine is fine.

Hello Walti:
I think you should E-mail HP's technical support people. I have found that they are most responsive.

now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

Firefox does not queue print jobs until after quitting (using lpr on RHEL5).

Using several versions of firefox 3+ including 3.6.3, print jobs using lpr aren't queued until firefox quits. This is confirmed on both RHEL5 and Ubuntu 10.04. We configured gtkrc to allow lpr printing, and it prints correctly, but only after firefox closes. This is valid in a clean firefox install as well as more customized versions. Other gtk-enabled apps (e.g., acroread) do not show this problem.

I've got a GPIB card from hewlett Packard to use with a HP4263A LCR meter

I've got a GPIB card from hewlett Packard to use with a HP4263A LCR meter, I am trying to use NIDAQ to get the data in labview,but the card is not detected, what can I do? I am using an AT-MIO-16E card and a PC-DIO 32 card, installed by another developer, I just would like to get the device working again, but I do not have any experience with labview.

Hello;
It's not clear from what exact device you are willing to get data. By what I understood from your e-mail, you are intending to get data from the HP GPIB board. If that is the case, you don't need NI-DAQ. You will probably be better of by contacting HP and ask then for the Labview driver for that GPIB board.

• Hewlett-Packard - Imaging - Null Print - HP Deskjet 3520 series - Error 0x8024200b

have never been able to install imaging null print update on my destop on win 7/8/8.1 and now update appears on win 10 to update and again failure. Get error message:• Hewlett-Packard - Imaging - Null Print - HP Deskjet 3520 series - Error 0x8024200b

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums! I see you're having issues with an update. I would like to help! I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Once the Doctor has been run, re-run the update. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

When you log off at night it tries to update the NULL print again and it fails every time. I have talked to your service people numerous times for over an hour and they can not fix the problem. PLEASE HELP

I did some looking into the problem for another user, and it looks like this is just a ghost update. Basically a "ghost update" is an update that was for the device, but the device has more recent drivers which causes the update to keep failing. The only thing you can do is hide the update, or ignore it. Windows will keep trying to push it, but your printer doesn't need it. If it did need the update, it would install right. You can find the thread where I helped the other user linked below. Hope this helps.

HT201269 I need to make a CD copy of my photos on iPhone 4, using a Hewlett Packard laptop. Easy to do or not?

I want to make a CD of all photos on my iPhone 4, before buying the new 5S, thus saving a lot of space. I have a Hewlett Packard laptop. Can this be done?

If these were photos taken with your phone yes. Simple as connecting the iPhone to the laptop)make sure its urnning the latest version of itunes) and dragging the photos out of the DCIM folder on the iPhone to a folder on yoru laptop and then burning that folder.

Any suggestions? I do use Adobe Acrobat Reader a lot

OK, let's try more thoroughly uninstalling the hp software for 10.5 using the 'scrubber' option. First, install the wrong software from the CD (for 10.5) so we can more thoroughly uninstall it. Next:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall << This is the scrubber option
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" Driver and Software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

WHY HEWLETT PACKARD ROYALLY PISSES ME OFF?

Shows on bottom right of my monitor:
Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
Dear HP (Assuming I am speaking to HP directly)
I have an HP Pavilion purchased about 2 years ago (a birthday present from my wife). It came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed and disc but with no disc key code. I was having problems with the system running extremely slow so I took it to Staples tech people. They kept it for 4 days, tried everything but nothing worked. They suggested I purchase an external hard drive and transfer all my files, etc. to same which I did but my computer still ran slowly. Thus, out frustration and after spending $300 for tech services and external hard drive, I decide just to install the Windows 7 disc that came with the computer. This, of course, started me back to square one … I had to start as though it was a new computer with no personal saved files, etc.
I seemed to get everything back to normal and had no “slow running” issues. Then, a message started popping up that my version of Windows was not genuine. I searched my computer, found the presumed key code and entered it but it was and continues to be rejected as not valid no matter what I do. Since the time to valid has expired, my Windows screen is black, the clock is always wrong and other annoying things won’t work.
I called your support line and got the runaround. Eventually, my line with your representatives, before I had a solution, was disconnected and I was not about to go through that HELL again. Searching the Web, I was advised that this was a HP issue that you could resolve. If not, Microsoft wants me to spend $150 for another Windows 7 program. After adding up all my expenses thus far to fix my original “slow” problem, I could have bought a brand new computer and I am not going to waste any more of my money. This is why I am so angry and have made my anger known to all my Facebook friends.
Below, I have copied and pasted all the information I was able to gather from my computer operating system, computer battery and Windows information. If you can help me, it would certainly be appreciated and change my opinion of HP which I will immediately make known to my Facebook friends and remove any negative comments I have made about HP.
WHAT'S THIS YOU WROTE? I STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS TO MY PROBLEM. INCREDIBLE!!!

{personal info removed}

WANT TO KNOW WHY HEWLETT PACKARD ROYALLY PISSES ME OFF? You have a computer problem and you call their HELP SUPPORT LINE. This takes you somewhere to the far side of the earth. The FIRST CLOWN who answers, AFTER collecting all your personal information, product information, product codes, serial numbers, etc. and, AFTER having you explain your problem in minute detail, tells you he has to transfer you to a DIFFERENT department. AFTER BEING TRANSFERRED, the SECOND CLOWN, AGAIN, AFTER collecting all your personal information, product information, product codes, serial numbers, etc. and, AFTER again explaining your problem, tells you he has to transfer you to YET ANOTHER department. FOLLOWING SEVERAL MORE REPEATS OF THE SAME ORDEAL AND TALKING TO MANY CLOWNS, all the while praying you don’t get cut off and have to start the entire hellish process anew, you finally reach who you hope to be THE MAIN CLOWN who will finally resolve your problem with THE PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED FROM THEM. DOES HE HELP? HELL NO! He says you need to call some other manufacturer or you have to purchase something from them to correct the problem or you have to pay them to give you their support. SO, you have wasted your ENTIRE day on the phone talking to ALIEN CLOWNS who have been leading you around in circles like an elephant in a circus holding the tail of the elephant in front of him, getting no solution to your problem and trying to communicate with CLOWNS who speak unintelligible English. WELL, the irony is, ALL these “CLOWNS” have made you the BIGGEST CLOWN OF THEM ALL andall you are left with is: “Thanks for calling Hewlett Packard and have a nice day”.

Where to get Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 Plus - C2037A Toner?
