Printing from HP LaserJet 1100

I have an HP LaserJet 1100 that used to print from a PC that died. How can I get it to print from my new iMac G5? I went to the HP website and couldn't find drivers for any Mac OS. Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I downloaded the drivers and will try.
Dumb question: what's the best way to connect the printer to my iMac? Printer doesn't have a USB port... (connects via parallel printer cable). Thx

  • Barcode printing issues with Laserjet 1100 8.1 driver

    Hi All,
    I've ran into issues printing coupons to my Laserjet 1100 printer using Windows 8.1. This worked with no issues (and still does) in Windows 8. Looking at the driver versions, it appears that something was updated form 8 to 8.1.It seems this issue is related
    to printing any barcodes. Has anyone else encounters this? Is there any way I can use the Windows 8 driver instead?

    For anyone interested, the way I was able to fix this issue is with the
    HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6
    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=4157320&ac.admitted=1399039456352.876444892.199480143
    I selected Windows 8.1 x64, then downloaded the PCL5 driver and now the barcodes work.

  • Can't print from HP LaserJet 8150n since upgrade to 10.5.6

    Any advice would be appreciated. I have mistakenly used the "reset printer list" command (control-clicking in the Print & Fax prefs list) to wipe out all of my installed printers, and now I'm not seeing ANY of my drivers for my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 or my Dymo Labelwriter Twin Turbo, either. A bit frustrating.

    You may need HP driver update 2.7.

  • Can't use Windows Vista to print from hp laserjet 1000 series

    I have downloaded the right printer driver, and I have also tried the 6p printer driver download.  The HP website says Vista is incompatible with this printer.  What now?  Thank for any suggestions.

    yes, the drivers you downloaded don't work on certain systems and not sure why.
    however, buying/acquiring the hub below you will solve a similar problem i had: 
    Belkin F5U021 USB Hub 
    connect the above usb hub w/power adaptor between the hp1000 and the computer with vista on it and they will begin communicating like ol' friends.
    why the hub works is beyond my knowledge.  but if i were to take a guess, the hub regulates the data speed between the fast vista usb data speed for the slower hp1000 usb speed.  
    i had bought the hub a long time ago when usb 1.0 was big time.  but then put it away when everything jumped to usb 2.0 in winxp.  i think that vista jumped to beyond 2.1 or something, which made many old slower usb devices incompatiable. 
    but regardless of how or why, this is the only hub that makes IT WORK - buy it !!!

  • [SOLVED] Can't get CUPS to add / detect HP Laserjet 1100 printer

    I moved my computer downstairs... after a few weeks I decided to move my printer down and set it up. I had it working perfectly a few weeks ago before the move... however now I can't get CUPS to detect or add my printer. At first when I moved my printer downstairs the CUPS web interface had my previous setup still there and had my printer detected / added. However, printing jobs would just stay in the queue and never print. I did some googling and someone mention to remove the printer and re-add it. Well I tried to to that and got stuck on trying to re-add it. CUPS will not identify my printer now. Funny thing is I just now remember I had a similiar issue a few months back and I remembered now I fixed the queue issue just by unplugging the power to my printer and leaving it off for 5min then replugging it in. I have tried all the steps on the wiki and I can't seem to figure this one out. dmesg does output that it is detecting my printer. I have my printer hooked up via a mini parralel to USB cord. If you have any other questions for me please shoot
    Unplugging and repluggin my printer gives me this msg in dmesg:
    usblp0: removed
    usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
    usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x4348 pid 0x5584
    hp-toolbox also does not detect any printers. I have tried restarting cupsd... Any help is appreciated... I need to get printing up ASAP since school has started.
    lsusb output this amongst other things:
    Bus 006 Device 004: ID 4348:5584 WinChipHead CH34x printer adapter cable
    If it matters I am using XFCE as my DE... I also do not remember using the CUPS interface to intially add the printer... I do not exactly remember how I did it... but the web interface looked completely new to me and I am rather sure that is not how I initially went about doing it... perhaps I used some GUI frontend for it...
    EDIT: After reading the forum descriptions closer... perhaps this should be moved to the Workstation section.

    Tell you the truth... I have no idea how to change it or what not... I didn't even add that manually... just rebooted my computer one day and it appeared there.
    hpsetup does not detect my printer
    system-config-printer gives me an error when I try and add a printer. I manually specify the location to file:/dev/usb/lp0 ... I scroll down find HP LaserJet 1100 and the recommended driver is hpjis 3.9.8. I select that and I get the following:
    There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'
    EDIT: I am about ready to chunk to this printer out the window... I have been messing with this for about a week now and I just keep getting two steps forward and then three steps backwards.
    The system-config-printer dialog looked familiar and I believe that when I intially was able to set up my printer and had it working upstairs I used that dialog to add my printer.
    Some googling brought me to this ubuntu bug report
    Your USB-to-parallel adapter does not pass through the printer ID. The device is recognized as printer, but there is no information about manufacturer and model. Therefore system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils automatically assign the text-only printer to the unknown device.
    In general you have to run system-config-printer and manually choose manufacturer and model.
    That you cannot print at all is a bug of the "hal" CUPS backend. See
    https://fedorahosted.org/hal-cups-utils/ticket/5
    Try to do the following:
    cupsctl FileDevice=yes
    lpadmin -p <your print queue name> -E -v file:/dev/usb/lp0
    This is an ugly workaround which works if you have only one printer (the one with the adapter cable) on USB. Does it work for you?
    Now the problem is that I can not add my printer via the system-config-printer. However, if I go the CUPS web interface and hit manage printers the driver is listed as the following:
    Driver:    Local Raw Printer (grayscale)
    Now I think that is my issue... I need to have it set to the correct driver... if I hit modify printer and select my Make/Model I get the following access error:
    401 Unauthorized
    Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page. If you are using Kerberos authentication, make sure you have a valid Kerberos ticket.
    However there is no prompt or I do not know where to enter this information to.

  • HP Laserjet 1100 - print fails

    Hi
    I have an OLD HP Laserjet 1100 which I used to be able to print from fine on my old XP (SP2) machine. I have recently set the printer up on a new laptop running XP (SP3) using a parallel to USB converter. It's using the same drivers. However, now, whenever I try print I get an immediate message saying "Print failed". Doesnt give me a reason. Just won't print!! If there is anyone out there who can help me I'd appreciate it!
    Regards,
    AEC
    p.s. Buying a new printer is unfortunately not really an option.

    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,

  • LaserJet 1100 won't print in WordPerfect X4 unless manual button is pressed for each page.

    Hi - I'm using a Toshiba Satellite - Windows Vista 64 bit operating system.  When using WordPerfect X4, I can't get my HP LaserJet 1100 to print unless I manually push the button for each page.  I have no problems getting it to print automatically in Word or with .pdf documents.  Something is not compatible with WordPerfect.  It was printing fine to begin with, but once I printed an older version of Avery labels, it seemed to trigger this need to have to manually press the big button.  Help!

    Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

  • Hp laserjet m1132 mfp can't print from remote desktop

    Hi, i've installed HP LASERJET M1132 MFP in my PC with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and it works fine. But when i connect using remote dekstop with  our Windows server 2008 r2 64 bit. its not printing. error "test page failed to print , would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance?" and it doesnt solved the problem.
    please help

    Thank you for your interest.
    The situation is a bit different than the picture. Windows Server 2008 R2 is available through the WAN. LAN is plugged into the PC-1, PC-2 and Konica Minolta printer. HP LaserJet M1120n MFP is connected via USB to the PC-1. OKI ML 3320 printer is connected via LPT also to the PC-1. PC-1 has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 also has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 is also available for PC-1 HP and OKI.
    It seems to me that I found the explanation for the printing problems - some of "my" printers are simply not compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I found on the net the following information:

  • Print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my iPad

    How can I print to a Laserjet 4050 networked on an XP machine from my  iPad?  Can I use the AIO app?  does not find the printer.  Thanks.

    @Mojo-Risin 
    If I understand your question, you would like to use the AiO remote app on your iPad with your Laserjet 4050, correct? If this is case, unfortunately, the AiO remote app is not supported with the Laserjet 4050 and the iPad.
    Thank you.

  • Undesirable and random GET_CONFIG pages printing from HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi

    An HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP is printing at what seems as random times two pages.  The first page is a GET_CONFIG page and the second page is a two line page of random giberish characters much like the Windings font.
    Error logs on the printer don't reveal anything is wrong.  It apears that the printer is not aware of these printing events or is not recording them in the logs.
    Something similar to this has been encountered and was a result of bad memory or a corrupted firmware load.
    This sort of behavior was found posted online in a very brief message on HP's site. Different model of course. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/get-config-pages-on-models-CP2025/td-p/1095046  The problem apeared not to be resolved.
    I dislike the event log of these printers. It doesn't define datetime stamp of the events.
    Copied event log:
    Number Code Page
    8 54.2500 2606
    7 54.2500 2598
    6 13.0000 2324
    5 13.0000 2264
    4 13.0000 1503
    3 13.0000 888
    2 13.0000 812
    1 54.2100 0
    The number of events with these symptoms seem pretty sparse. At least those that are reported. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/CM2320fxi-Locks-up-when-printing-from-Ubuntu-9...
    Also, the error 54.xxxx doesn't appear to be documented which makes identifying the problem rather difficult.
    The "Get_Config" occurrences were taking place shortly after the scheduled calibration process occurred. This was discovered by chance when i just happened to walk by and heard the printer spin up and watched it give birth to the get_config pages.  Almost like it was trying to communicate with me.. Perhapse I need to "get_config".  LOL
    As a last resort I reset the NVRAM.  The reset of the NVRAM didn't resolve the problem. There is not enough information available from HP to find a resolution to this problem. This is an attempt to open up a support request with HP or knowledeable HP guru types via this forum.
    Suggestions other than that of  watching and reenacting Office Space are welcome.

    Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
    One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
    Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

  • HP LaserJet M1132 MFP does not print from a remote desktop

    Hi,
    I have a HP LaserJet M1132 MFP (product number CE847A) connected to a PC (MS Windows XP Home Edition + SP3) via USB. There is no problem with the printer. However, when the connection using Remote Desktop (it's set to use local facilities and resources, or in my case, printers, and serial ports) to the server (MS Windows Server 2008 R2), I can not even print a test page from a remote desktop.
    Error message: "Print a test page failed. Do you want to display a tool to solve problems with printing to get help?"
    But it does not lead to nowhere, as expected is access to the internet, and I have not it from a MS Windows Server 2008 R2.
    The same error is for the HP LaserJet M1120n MFP.
    I have installed on my PC other printer - old OKI ML321 (needle) connected to a PC using LPT cable and network printer Konica Minolta 1690MF (in another room). In both of these printers can easily print a test page from a remote desktop.
    Please help me.

  • Can't Print From iPhoto 8 to Color LaserJet

    I recently purchased an iMac with iPhoto 8 installed. This is the cleanest, easiest-to-use version of iPhoto yet!
    Except for a huge problem: I cannot print from iPhoto to my HP Color LaserJet 4650. I can print to that printer from all other applications, including photos in Photoshop and Preview. But when I try to print from iPhoto, I get a message on my printer saying "insufficient memory," which is not true. There is enough printer memory (160 mb) to handle almost any print job I can throw at it. Also, others can print photos from their older versions of iPhoto to the same printer without issues.
    I have called HP, who say there are no known issues with their printers and iPhoto 8. I have also trashed the iPhoto preferences with no luck. Even my outside tech guy is stumped. For the time being, I can work around by exporting photos to the desktop and printing in Photoshop or Preview, but I would like to print directly from iPhoto. Any advice?

    Scott:
    Thanks for the direction. Tom Rice's link took me to a site where I downloaded some scripts and a driver. After selecting the driver for my HPCLJ4650 everything worked just fine. I don't know why Apple and/or HP are not aware of the problem, but when I read the discussion link you sent me, it sounds like there are a lot of users out there having the same problems with their HP printers and iPhoto '08.
    Anyway, I appreciate the help!

  • Can't print from OfficeJet to LaserJet

    I own an OfficeJet Pro L7580 and a LaserJet 4000. I want to scan from the OfficeJet and print to the LaserJet (which is faster and more economical). When I choose "Scan to Printer" on the OfficeJet, it shows the LaserJet as an available option to print to, but when I click on the print button, I get the following error message: "Images selected for printing could not be automatically printed due to an application error. You may need to reinstall your HP Photosmart Software". Can anybody help me with this?

    Need more info.  What is it doing, or not doing? 
    What specific printer are you using?  Here is the list of airprint printers.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Forget the ipad for a moment.  Does the printer see the wifi network?  From the printers control console, look for the utility to find and install any firmware update that has been issued for that printer.  Most airprint printers need the firmware update before they will work.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.
