Win7 print driver for laserjet fails on my mini 311 netbook

Win7 driver doesn't work with my laserjet 2100. Tried the several drivers (i.e., generic, vista's, etc). It loads the driver (or so it says), but when the printer is accessed, it errors. When I go into the printer console, it tells me "...print driver is not installed.." I go to device manager, and the driver is named, and seems that it is installed. Very frustrating.
(I'm connecting across my local network to a print server). I have several other PC's running 2000, XP, and Vista with no problems. So what is going on with Windows 7 and printers???????  !@#$%^&*

Good to see that someone else with a 2100 is having problems.  I've been working on this for about a week and got nowhere. HP has a new set of drivers that are supposed to install the printers. Try using the one for PCL 5.
I will start a new thread with my own problem.
Cheers.

  • Updating printer driver for laserjet 2100tn

    I have recently updated my Mac Mini (PawerPC) to an iMac with Lion. HP says that the printer driver update is through Apple, and nothing I do seems to call the Print/Scan dialog to notice it. Thoughts?
    David

    The printer may not be supported by Lion, if it's still supported the update will come from software updates. Just plug the printer straight into the iMac just run software updates and if there's any available it will pop up.

  • 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?

If somebody is willing to help, I would be so great full.....Thank You... 

    Hey,
    I see you are wanting to install an HP Laserjet 1200 on your Windows 7 64bit PC.  I also see that the downloadable drivers are not working for you.  Have you tried installing the driver located in the Windows Add a Printer: Windows Update section?  For information on how to perform this type of install please read the article linked below.

    Let me know if this method successfully installs the printer for you,

  • HP Laserjet 4 printer driver for mac osx 10.8.5

    Anybody know of a mac osx 10.8.5 printer driver for a HP Laserjet 4?

    Yeah, looked at this list earlier - they've got v. 19.8 for a Laserjet 4 Plus but mine is a plain Laserjet 4 so I doubt it would work. I used a Gutenprint driver v. 5.2.3 with Leopard that worked OK. Mountain Lion doesn't seem to like it as much...

  • Printer driver for HP LaserJet 4L with Windows 7

    I cannot find the printer driver for my LaserJet 4L in Windows 7.  I have a parallel to USB converter cable attached to my computer.   I need the drivers.

    My Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system has a built-in driver for this printer model:
    I don't know whether the driver is present on a fresh Windows install; it may only have appeared in the list after the Windows Update button was clicked on the above Add Printers dialogue, then waiting (perhaps for several minutes) whilst additional drivers were downloaded, and the list repopulated.
    I'd assume that the same might be true of earlier Windows versions as well.

  • Laserjet 1000 printer driver for windows 8.1

    Need help to locate a printer driver for my laserjet 1000. Thanks for the help...

    If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
    If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
    The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

  • Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

    I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch.  I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers.  Hit the "+" button.  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
    I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it.  The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success).  I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why is this method not working with this printer?
    I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement.  Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
    I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully printed a document page.  While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
    I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog.  The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
    I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work.  I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you.  I was on the road all day yesterday.
    OK.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network.  That did not work.  I swapped out the cable for one that I know works.  Still no change.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router.  No change.  I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
    As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
    Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?  
    After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

  • 1200 DPI Driver for Laserjet 5000 ?

    Fellow Forum Members.
    What in the world is going on with HP Printer Drivers no longer supporting the 1200 DPI output capability of my LaserJet 5000?  I can no longer use the original printer driver CD which supported 1200 DPI output because this CD is no longer compatible with Windows7 64bit.  Therefore,  I have tried all of the drivers listed below in an effort to get my LaserJet 5000 1200 DPI output capability back with no success:
    HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript  6.0.0.18849
    HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6  6.0.0.18849
    HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5  5.9.0.18326
    Windows driver update to get Microsoft version of HP printer driver. Still no 1200 DPI output
    Xerox Global Print Driver 5.404.8.0_PCL6_x64.exe
    Xerox Global Print Driver 5.404.8.0 Postscript x64.exe
    Can anyone out there please share with me what is the correct driver I need to install for the purpose of getting my 1200 DPI output capability back on my LaserJet 5000.  It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Does any one out there have any comment on how to get my LaserJet 5000 back to printing 1200 DPI output?  All of the drivers I have tested seem to limit print output quality to 600 DPI.  That is half of what my LaserJet 5000 is capable of handling.  Any comment will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
