Printing on an HP Laserjet 5M through a Windows XP PC

Hi,
At our office we're running 10.3 and 10.4, as well as Windows XP.
The XP computers are hooked up to the printer (HP Laserjet 5M & HP Deskjet 820 Cxi For Windows).
Now, I've gotten my Mac (running 10.4) to actually see and communicate with the printer, but when it starts printing I get a single line of code, followed by umpteen blank pages.
(Line of code is
*%!PS-Adobe-3.0% | RBINumCopies: 1 | %%Pages: (attend) | %APLDSCEncoding: UTF8 | %%Title:*
(With | signifying an hard enter)
I'm assuming this is because though both my Mac and the PC have the correct drivers installed, the combination of drivers isn't working. Any ideas what to do?

It's been a while since I installed those things. I'd take a look at the hpijs web page and be sure to follow the instructions - is it possible you have the wrong version of something? Have you selected the driver that says hpijs in its name? Maybe your printer is one of the unfortunate ones that somehow got left out of the package -- no problem, get (download) the ppd and use the driver choice "other" in Printer Setup to navigate to that ppd and choose it.
What you have described is again postscript output, meaning that the Mac is bypassing ghostscript and sending postscript to the PC to be passed to the printer.

Printing with an HP Laserjet P1009 through a time capsule

hello
I have an HP Laserjet P1009 and a macbook Pro. I can print from the macbook to the laserjet just fine if it is connected directly (USB), but I am trying to connec the printer to my time capsule and print through there. I saw a previous post with the following solution:
+Open the menue "Printer and Fax", klick "+" to add a new printer.+
+Now klick "IP"+
+Select the protocol "HP Jetdirect - Socket"+
+Adress: Enter the IP-adress of your Time Capsule (for example 192.168.178.22)+
+Change the name and location as you prefer.+
+On the last point click the menue where you can select the printer drivers and chose the driver "HP Laserjet P1005. 1.2.0.224"+
+click "OK" ... and print!+
+I tried this solution and it works. Even the hotlines (HP and Mac) told me that it will never ever work with this printer.+
+It also should work with airport extreme like this. But I have no experience with it.+
but when I try it I can't find the driver for the P1009 in that list (nor for the P1005, or any other P1000 series).
Anyone able to help? Either with this solution or another?
THANKS!

Unable to network print to HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to Windows PC

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to print on my network to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n that is connected and shared on a Windows PC. I have carefully followed the instruction posted on http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html and I am still unable to print. I made sure the printer name on the remote PC has no spaces. After I enter (on my Mac) my user name and password to access the user account on the remote Windows PC, I get the following error message:
Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name. Error: 256
Please help! Thank you!

The Windows PC is running the Windows XP Firewall, the Avast Antivirus, and Windows Defender. I have deactivated all these applications and the issue persists.
I called Apple today (I am still in my 90-day free support since this is a new MacBook Pro). After some basic troubleshooting with a tier one rep, I was transfered to a tier 2 rep who told me after making sure that I was following the right steps to try to add the printer, that since the HP LaserJet 2600n printer is connected to a Windows XP computer, my set-up is not supported by Apple and declined continuing troubleshooting the issue. According to this person Apple will only support network printing when the printer is directly attached to a hub/router.

Universal Printer Driver for HP LaserJet 2015dn & 64-bit Windows 7 Lacks Many Features

On my new computer with 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, I tried installing the drivers from the LaserJet 2015dn's CD in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. It produced error messages, but one time it got far enough to print, but it did not provide all the feature functionality present on my XP machines. (Such as Print On Both Sides, Correct Order for Straight Paper path, selectable customized settings I can save, etc.) When I went to the HP site directly, for my specific printer with "Windows 7 64-bit", I was directed to a Universal Driver file (the only choice) that gave essentially the same result -- except that Print On Both Sides is now available, but not any of the other features I use regularly. (For example, on my XP machines I am able to set up multiple Print Task Quick Sets in the Printing Preferences "Finishing" tab so that I can quickly select one with the features I want for a specific print job. That feature is not available with the Universal Driver.)
Please tell me how I can get the full functionality of the P2015dn to be available in 64-bit Windows 7.
I hope there is a specific driver set available for that printer that accesses all the features.
Thank you.

HP LaserJet 1320 through wireless print server

I'm trying to hook up an HP LaserJet 1320 through an old DP-311wireless print server. I can access the servier through IE when go to the servers IP address through Parallels, but if I go to the same address through Safari on the Mac side, I get a blank page (although I do get a popup asking for UID and passwd). I have been able to print to this printer - on this AirBook - using the same D-Link rint server - but I removed and reinstalled the printer to try to get the duplexer to work. Now I can't get the printer to work at all . . . bummer.
Any thoughts?

Update - I have gotten the printer to work under Parallels once I assigned it to an LPR queue. Still no progress on the Mac side

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one
When I try to print a chart from Excel 2007 I get a low memory error. All other printing seems to work just fine. I thought it might be because of a color fill in the chart area so I removed the fill but I'm still getting the error.
I've also cleared the fax memory and run through the steps in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00378226&prodT...
Running: Windows WP pro (SP3)
Printer: LaserJet 3015 all in one
Current driver: HP Lasetjet 3015 PCL 6
Running as a network printer using a D-Link DP301P

When an application is installed to the expansion card, that's the only place where you will see it in the app launcher screen, i.e. by selecting the card. It will not appear in the All category because that only shows apps which are installed to internal memory.
As for the Files application, yes, it only lets you browse contents of the card. For a more robust file management utility which will let you browse your entire phone, you might want to look into a freeware application called FileZ, which I believe is available at www.palmgear.com and other places.
I've never run Documents To Go from a card, but when you open Docs to Go and open the Menu > Options > Manage Applications, there is an option there to move applications to the Card. Never having done that, I'm not sure whether it moves the whole DTG app to a card but, give it a try.
I have oodles of applications and documents stored on my Centro's internal memory, and never have run up against a memory problem. At any time, you can check available memory by going to the application launcher (home) screen, opening the menu, and selecting Info.

'unable to send print data' on HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP

Hi there,
I'm running an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. Via an USB cable I have attached a HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP to the iMac.
I also use this printer to print via wifi (i.e. through the iMac) with my MacBook Pro (with OSX 10.7.3).
Suddenly today the printer stopped working via my MacBook Pro. I get an error message: 'unable to send print data'.
I have checked my antivirus etc., but that does not appear to be the problem. I have also updated the firmware of the printer, without success.
Can somebody help me out? Is the OS difference the problem? But until today that hasn't been a problem.
Thank you very much! Regards, Luc.

Hi jemenake
I understand you lost connection with the network for the Laserjet 1536 through ethernet connection.
Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready. The router might not be finding the printer on the network.
If this doesn't resolve the issue continue to the next steps.
Print a configuration report from the LaserJet 1536dnf.
Press the Setup button, (the one with the wrench on it)
reports, press OK, Config Report, press OK.
Check to see if the ip address is valid.
If you have a valid ip address then delete and add the printer on the mac, the driver might have become corrupted.
Delete printer on mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences,then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),highlight your printer name and click the button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Add printer on the mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences, and then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),click add a printer, then select the printer from the list, make sure the printer listed beside use or print: shows proper printer name and not airprint, (airprint is a preinstalled apple driver with basic funtionality if on 10.8) add it in.
If the ip address is not valid please let me know.

I can't continously print 4x6 cards on Laserjet 100 mfp175

I can't continously print 4x6 cards on Laserjet 100 mfp175. I have to push the "OK" button to manually load them 1 at a time. i have tried everything from setting up a 4x6 card in print properties for Word 2007 to setting 4x6 on the set up configuation of the printer. for tray 1 setup.
Trying to print flash cards for a test.

Great Czar, soundsl like you are having issues printing continuously on 4*6 photo paper on this laserjet. From what I see you set the information in Word for when you want to print the photos, but have you gone through the driver to be sure that the printer is anticipating 4*6 prints? If you check on page 50 of the manual it will tell you how to do this so that it is set for the default - which might correct the issue for changing it with each print.

Let me know how that goes and I will get back with you as quickly as I can!
I hope you are having a wonderful week, and I hope that the weather where you are located is as beautiful there as it is here!

HP LaserJet 1020 Wi-Fi SOLUTION (after 10.6.3 update)

* Test print via the USB
* Return usb cable to the Airport base
This worked for us; your mileage may vary . . .

Printing through a Windows computer.

I'm working on a 1GHz Power Mac G4 desktop that is connected with Ethernet to a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router. The printer is connected to a Dell Dimension 4300 by USB. The question for me is, even though I can get the printer to show up in my printer search list, I can't get anything to print off of it. Does anyone know a possible solution? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about details or anything, just leave me a message. Thanks for your help!

I have a Mac Mini running Leopard and I print through a Windows XP computer with printer sharing turned on. My printer is a Samsung ML-1710.
The printer shows up in the network as expected, but initially I had a problem in which the job was sent, the printer spun up then stopped dead.
I tracked the problem to the driver setting on the Mac, which had defaulted to Generic Postscript Printer. Since Leopard had no driver for the ML-1710, I got it from the Samsung website, installed it, and changed the print driver to the proper one. Then it worked fine.
I guess the important thing is that you are running the correct driver for the printer, as unlike WinXP, it doesn't install a network printer driver for you.

Using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up

using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up as follows: the first page out is page 2, with 1 on reverse side, next page is page 4, with 3 on reverse side., etc. This requires that I re-collate every paper I print. Have tried a few things in set up and re-installing the printer, but still not fixed.

I am having the same problem. Nice to see that HP has not responded.

Is there a univeral printer driver for HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP on Windows 7 64 bit?

I had bought a HP Color LaserJet CM1312 Multifunction Printer last year - up to now I could print out via the computer of my doughter (Windows XP), but now this computer is bugged and I would like to be able to use also my own Windows 7 64 bit Computer. Unfortunately the "Full solution" does not work at all, while there also appears to be no Universal Printer Driver for my special printer. In other words: I can´t use the printer and I am upset (HP at its best?).
Is there any way to get a printer driver that does what it is supposed to do?

Have you tried downloading and installing the drivers from here?

Can't print across network with LaserJet 1220

I'm trying to print across our home wireless network from my Windows 7 64-bit computer to a LaserJet 1220 connected to a Windows XP 32-bit computer. My computer sees the printer in the network, but when I try to install it on my computer, it searches the web for a driver but can't find one. There must be a way to get this to work. Any ideas?

How about this?
