Recommend HP Laserjet 1320?

We are currently considering getting a new "family printer", and I found the HP LJ 1320 very interesting, because it has PCL, Postscript, a Centronics connection and duplex printing. I want to connect the printer via an old 10 MBit ethernet printserver (has two Centronics ports). This should make the printer available for any computer in our network.
I already understood that one should not install HP's software and instead should use the driver that comes with Tiger.
Are there any other problems with the printer, or can it really be recommended?

I cannot speak specifically to this model, but strongly advise against any HP printer unless you have first hand experience that it will work on your system as configured. HP has a list of 200 products supported within Tiger, but many of us can tell you that list is absolutely not relaible, particularly with respect to the AIO inkjets. If you elect to move forward with the purchase, make sure you can return it when/if you run into a problem.

Hp laserjet 1320 not working with new mac

thanks for the help!!!

Hello nyc213,
It sounds like you are unable to use your LaserJet printer with your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article named:
OS X Mavericks: Solve printing problems
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14142
Check the printer
Go to the printer and check the following:
It’s turned on and is displaying normal status lights.
It has paper, and the paper isn’t jammed.
It has enough ink or toner.
Its cables are properly connected.
If your printer is attached to your computer’s USB port, open System Information, then click USB. If the printer’s name appears in the hardware list but the printer doesn’t work, review the printer’s documentation for further troubleshooting information.
Check your device’s USB connection
If the printer is on the network, open Printers & Scanners preferences, then add the printer again to create a new printer queue. For instructions, see:
Set up a printer
Use the best software for your printer
Make sure you have the correct version of your printer’s software (also called its printer driver).
If you’re using a printer that another user is sharing, make sure you’re both using the same version of the printer software. To find out which version you’re using, select the printer in Printers & Scanners preferences, click Options & Supplies, then click General. Note the driver version.
If you’re using a network printer or a printer attached to your Mac, make sure you have the latest version of the software for the printer. If you still have problems, try different printer software for your printer.Change or update printer software
If you still can’t print, reset the printing system.
Reset the printing system
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Wireless printing from 10.4.6. to HP Laserjet 1320

I am having trouble getting my Powerbook G4 to print wirelessly to an HP Laserjet 1320. The problem -- that the print moniter reverts to "Jobs Stopped" and will not proceed even when started -- is one I've encountered before with other printers, and has been solved by using a printer driver other than the one recommended by the manufacturer. HP only provides one driver for OSX. Has anyone found the solution for this?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try using the HPIJS drivers.
Or use the process outlined here:
HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing

HP LaserJet 1320 Duplex Printing Not working with Windows 7

Hi
I've just bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have an HP LaserJet 1320 printer (Prod no. Q5927A, SN CNGW53RLRY).
I cannot find driver that works the same way as the previous driver HP LaserJet PCL5. If I use this driver and can still get duplex printing but it will only print one copy at a time.
If I upgrade to HP Universal Printing PLC (or PLC v5) I can print multiple copies but not duplex printing. I have searched high and low through the HP site but to no avail.
Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks
GB

Hello,
I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
Printer Properties:
From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
--> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
Printing Preferences:
again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
-->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
Let me know if this helps...

Windows 7 system cannot network print to LaserJet 1320

Recently our office got a new Windows 7, 64-bit laptop, and for the past three days I have been unable to get it to print though the network to our HP LaserJet 1320. I can connet it via the USB cable and print directly to the printer, however, I recive an "unalbe to connect" error with all attempts to connect to the printer through the network .
The LaserJet 1320 is conncected to an XP system and shared over the network. Three other XP systems and two Linux systems can connect and print to it just fine. Also the Windows 7 laptop has been able to print to a shared HP DeskJet 6980 and an ancient Lexmark 4039 though the network.
It does not appear to be a network issue. I've tried varous versions of the HP Universal Printing driver, but so far not has been able to connect though the network. Is there one in particualr I should try? Does the Universal printing driver not support network printing?
Thanks! Any help with this probelm will be greatly appreciated.

Never mind solved my issue using the specific vista x64 (on windows7) driver rather then using the universal print driver...
Might fix your issue with network shared printer.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks
gumboman

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.

HP LaserJet 1320 requires user intervention to print after Leopard

Ever since upgrading to Leopard, almost every single time I send a print job to my HP LaserJet 1320 (over the network, it actually connected to a PowerMac G5 in my office), it triggers an error warning (orange flashing light) on the printer. Pressing the main green print button lets the job print, but this is really annoying.
I checked and Apple recently posted a note about the HP LaserJet 1200 having a very similar problem except that an error page was printed after each job. The workaround they suggest for this doesn't work with the LaserJet 1320 problem, however.
A quick Google reveals at least one other Leopard using HP LaserJet 1320 owner is seeing a similar issue. And actually, as I composed this post, I found some 1320 owners in another Apple Discussion post about HP printer issues with Leopard. They suggested using the generic PostScript driver, but then I really like to have the ability to duplex.
Nothing in the /private/var/log/cups/error_log file of note as far as I can tell.
Any ideas? Any other people out there experiencing this problem who might have a solution (other than switching to a generic postscript driver)?

Ok, I think I've figured a way to make the laserjet 1320 stop requiring "user intervention" (e.g. pressing the green button for every printjob).
Try the following:
Open "System Preferences" -> Choose "Print & Fax" -> Choose the Laserjet 1320 printer -> Press button "Options and Supplies..." -> Select Driver "tab" -> In the drop-down-menu "Fit to page" choose "Nearest Size and Scale" instead of "Prompt User".
The chosen driver should be "HP Laserjet 1320 series", because the generic postscript printerdriver dosen't have the duplex option amongst other shortcomings.
I find it odd that the lowest memory-option is 16-31mb of ram. The default configuration of 16mb is not IN that range, but maybe that is a little too nitty-gritty.

HP LaserJet 1320 Not Showing Up On Network

I just added a pc with windows xp professional service pack 3 to my airport express network. The internet works but when I go to load my HP LaserJet 1320 print drivers from the installation cd the setup wizard can't find the printer on the network. My mac can see the printer just fine. Help!

Just to be clear, is this the Bonjour Printer Wizard?

HP Laserjet 1320 not printing PDF files

I can't print PDF or JPG files from my MacBook Pro to my HP Laserjet 1320, connected on USB. MS Word files are printing fine and so are Test Print commands. This has morphed today from an earlier problem a few days where only the 1st page of PDF documents was printing. The printer blinks the green light for a while and then goes back to normal. The Print Box on the Mac says "Printing - Sending Data to Printer" for a while, and then the file name, etc disappear, and everything is back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. Meanwhile MS Word files go on printing without any problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem.
(I moved from 10.6.8 to 10.10.2)
I did a lot of searching and these two steps have helped. (possibly fixed it for good?)
Run "Disk Utility" —> Verify Disk Permissions (Repair any errors)
The printer settings need to be reset. (see link below) NOTE: You will lose all the printers in your system settings and have to reinstall them.
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18614?locale=en_US
Please note that HP does not have a update for 10.10.2 for this model.
The last driver version from HP is: 19.8
Adobe does not have a plug-in update that I can find, yet...
The more you change the settings as you use each proram (firefox, word, numbers, safari, adobe reader) the worse the problem seems to get. I would suggest that you pick one setting and keep it. (Program based settings seem to be less prone to errors.)
Let me know if this helps.

Hp laserjet 1320 - networkin problems - networking solution

hi
i had the same problems like some of you with the hp laserjet 1320 n while using this printer in a network.
here is a solution that may work:
connect the printer directly (not via router) to the computer, reset the network settings ofthe printer (press button on the back near the rj-45 connection for 5 sec while starting the printer). wait for 5 min!!!, then print the network status (press shortly the same button onthe back of the printer). read the ip adress, which the printer had given himself. the go to safari an type in the adress. now you are getting connected to the printers settings. set the ip to dhcp an give the printer a certain number inbetween your ip range of your dhcp settings in the tc/ip (mostly 192.168.x.x). then you can disconnect an connect the printer back to the network-router.
then print center: thrwo away old 1320 printers and search again for the 1320. this time it should work, even with the hp installed printer-description from the installation cd.
good luck

Problem print all pages on my HP Laserjet 1320 from my Mac

I am having a strange printing problem.
Happens in almost any program (Mail / Excel /Preview/Word/TextEdit/etc.). I can ask it to print a one page document. It spools, the printer flashes. The computer said it is done but nothing printed. On the same document, if I tell it to print 2 copies of the one page document, it will print one page sometimes and two pages other times. When printing long multipage documents it will sometimes not print the last page. It is almost as if the needs to be something at the end of the print job to push the last bit along to the printer and complete the print job. It only started happening 3-4 months ago. Now I have to check everything I print to make sure it is all there. This printer is connected to my Mac Mini via USB.
If I send the same print jobs to the company network printer....everything prints fine. (Kyocera - copier/printer/scanner/fax combo unit)
Here is some info on My system.
Mac Mini 2.3 GHZ i5 / 4GB memory
OS X 10.9.5
Printer is HP Laserjet 1320
I have deleted and reinstalled the printer several times and no joy.

I've also had problems with the HP 1320 and my Mac. Some things print, while others just give a blinking green light and then it goes off. This recently happened to me while trying to print a series of labels from Word. Giving up on the HP, I decided to print the labels off my inkjet printer and placed a number a labels in the printer and hit print for 100 copies. Since I had being doing some other things in-between, I didn't notice that the print select had also gone to my default printer the HP. Suddenly, thinking the inkjet was to print the labels, the HP starts printing those labels. I then noticed that the HP was the printer selected, but I was at a loss to figure out why it suddenly had started to actually print the item that I was previously unable to do. I finally determined that when I tried printing to the HP with the initial (1) copy it would not print; if I changed that number to (2) it would print one copy; if (3) I would get 2 copies; thus the print was giving exactly one less copy than I selected; thus when I select (1) copy it reads it as 0, will blink green and give me nothing. Give it a try.

HP LaserJet 1320 won't print in color (Win7 64 bit, new cartridge)

I can't get my HP Laserjet 1320 to print in color any more. Changed the cartridge. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the issue started before the upgrade to Win 7. I can't even find the selection for color vs black and white printing.

The LaserJet 1320 printer is a monochrome printer, not a colour printer.

Laserjet 1320 on win 7 (64bit) - cannot access from a networked XP Pro machine?

I have a Laserjet 1320 and a Officejet 6450 attached to a win 7 (64bit) machine - both work fine.
Have a home workgroup network established with an XP pro machine. Both printers are "shared" etc..
I can access the Offiejet from the XP machine, but cannot get access to the Laserjet. Claims that
the proper Driver cannot be located. Have downloaded the PCl5 driver to the Win 7 machine, but when
I point the XP machine to the HP PCL5 Driver folder on the win 7 machine it still cannot find the proper driver.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Don
Thanks for the reply.
The version of Visual Studio being used is 2002 (getting on a bit now).
We had a play about with the way we installed the MSI installer we had created that installs the Crystal Reports runtimes (merge modules) and managed to get it to work on both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.
The solution was a weird one, but seemed to work (but was different to what I had done before to get it to work). We made sure the MSI was local on the PC and right-clicked the MSI and selected the ''Troubleshoot Compatibility' ' option. Not 100% why this would work, but it seems to have done the trick.
Many thanks for your help.
David.
