HP Laserjet 4000N: correct printer cable?

I have a Dell Optiplex 790 (new) computer - and the Dell representative told me that I needed this cable

C2G USB 3.0 SuperSpeed A to B Cable M/M - cable USB - 6.6 ft. for compatibility with my Laserjet Printer.

Can you please confirm that this is your recommendation as well?

Thank you

The 4000N doesn't have a USB Port, and it looks like a standard USB cable, so I would say probably no..

There's an EIO USB card that you may have, but it is unlikely.

The 4000N should have a Jetdirect card, if it doesn't you can join a network and printing.

You may be able to use a USB to parallel adapter cable.

  • HP LaserJet 4000N print queue problem

    I just got a new modem/router, it will reconfigure the settings. My old but BEAUTIFUL HP LaserJet 4000N does not respond well to the changes. (Just like old fogeys everywhere...) Not happy about the way the world is moving on!)

    Now, if I had not updated my modem/router just 3 months ago, without problem, I might conclude that the tech had finally adopted my printer. But this EXACT procedure was successful only three months ago, so my suspicion is that I missed a step somewhere...

    Specifically, my printer completely refuses the new IP address, he needs to connect with 'the world'.

    It recognizes & remembers the new IP address on the general tab of the window of the printer location, but insists on the fact that the IP address of the printer to the previous address remains valid name of the queue. (Instead, the printer dialog box indicates that the document is printing - his 'status' - while stating at the same time, in the upper part of the printer dialog box, that 'the printer is unresponsive."

    Unfortunately, the evidence supported the statement of "... does not."

    What should I do to convince the area superior of the dialog part of the printer w / previous IP address and welcome the newcomer IP address instead?

    Thank you!

    Remove and reinstall the driver with the correct IP address.

    Hi @NaveedShaikh,

    I see by your post that the printer is not detected. I want to help you solve this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "" accept as Solution"" down below this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    Thanks for providing the excellent screenshots. The CD is used for different models, the P1100 is your printer series.

    Turn on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation. The USB cable should not be more then 6 feet. Make sure that the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. (not a station or a hub) Try a different USB port on the computer.

    This can also occur when the printer is already recognized as the USB connection and windows does not yet detect.

    Remove the USB cable plugged in, remove the printer in the devices and printers (if the list) and the Device Manager.

    To access the Device Manager:

    Press the windows key and press X on the keyboard at the same time in the office.

    Then click on Device Manager in the list.

    Verify that the connections in Device Manager for the entries of the printer, under Bus USB controllers are looking for USB, Mass Storage Device print media or anything with a yellow exclamation point or an unknown device. Right click and uninstall the device. Then reconnect the USB cable and it must be detectable again.

    If you're still having problems, unplug the USB cable, run uninstall and reinstall the printer software again. Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

  • Printer LaserJet 4100: Should which cable I for Laserjet 4100 connected to the laptop with USB port

    I have the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. I bought a new laptop with USB ports.  What type of printer cable I need to connect the printer to my laptop? Is there some kind of printer cable adapter, or something else that will do the trick?

    I have the same question about my HP Laserjet 1100 printer.

    Thanks in advance for your assistance expected.

    If I remember correctly, the 1100 uses a cable "C", alias MicroCentronics.  Have never seen an adapter for that one.  On the 4100, you can get a USB to parallel adapter.  They are pretty cheap and available at most CESS (Consumer Electronics Super Store) as Best Buy.  Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot should also wear.  Online is cheaper if you have time to wait.

    The thing with these USB converters is often must 'install' the cable first.  In other words, connect it to the laptop, then wait so he could install, then connect the printer.  Depending on your operating system and if you have correct updates that can be almost instantaneous, and you may not even see it pop on the screen.

    Best idea is that since these are obviously not portable machines, connect them to your router via a network card.  I had the 1100 years and used a cheap 170 X.  I know most recent are available which are faster.

    For the 4100, see if you can retrieve a Jet Direct 620 unit on eBay.  Probably less than $50 and sometimes even as little as $25.  Stay away from the 600, 510 or 615 cards.  Low or as the 600, they can leave your network open to hackers.  No need to get Gigabit cards as they will be well above what the 4100 can handle.

    Now, two of these old devices, processing power and memory can be a problem.  Never try to print documents online.  Save them on your laptop, and then print.  You will probably get communication errors if you print directly from IE or FireFox.

    If the 1100 does not die, not even worth fixing.  Put into a Fuser is a nightmare.  The 4100 will probably work for another 20 years if you keep to clean and replace the rolls before they cause jams.

  • LaserJet 4000n NEED drivers for Mac OS 10.4 Tiger

    If anyone has the drivers for printers LaserJet 4000n work for Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger), I would be extremely grateful if you could send them to me.

    Mac G4 with Tiger was perfectly printing until the pilots were accidentally deleted in the Print/Fax system preferences window.

    The G4 is connected to the printer via an Ethernet cable. The G4 is also online via WIFI. I spent countless days trying to downloads of drivers and none of them worked.

    The company no longer offers a hotline this older but excellent printer. Please send me a message if you can help.

    Thank you!!!

    When you say that the printer is connected directly to the G4 with an ethernet cable do you mean that the printer is connected to the Mac (G4) with a network cable?  Or do you mean a USB cable?  If you are connected with a network cable, it must be a crossover cable (since you are not going through a switch or router).  A regular ehternet cable will not work.  If you are connected via USB, you should be able to find the printer.

    Normally I would use the "default browser" and do not use AppleTalk, but because your computer can't see the printer and you have an IP address you can try typing the IP address of the printer in the 'JetDirect Socket' option - if you are not connected via USB.

    I hope this helps!

  • LaserJet 4000N: can this work with Windows 8

    I have a LaserJet 4000N works with XP.  I want to change PC in Windows 7 or 8.  That will influence my choice of the new PC.

    Supposedly there are drivers for 7 as mentioned on HP Business Support.  The only mention of drivers for 8 are listed for the LaserJet 4000 and not the 4000N.   But the pilot is a pilot called universal I think.

    Is not at all clear to me, and it would be nice to get a simple answer.

    Therefore in terms can simple someone tell me.

    Q1.  The LaserJet 4000N printer work with Windows 7

    Q2.  The LaserJet 4000N printer will work with Windows 8

    Thank you.

    Sorry for the confusion for drivers for Windows 7 and 8.

    Q1: The LaserJet 4000N works for Windows 7. Here is a link that will provide you with the drivers and how to download.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257&LC=en&cc=us#A2

    Q2: I'm sorry the LaserJet 4000N is not compatible or available for Windows 8, yet. You can try to download Windows 7 on Windows 7 and it can work. You can also download another driver that works.

    Hope this helps you.

  • LaserJet Pro 400 M451nw: Laserjet Pro 400 prints documents upside down

    My Laserjet Pro 400 prints documents upside down.  This only happens when you print in black and white, and from certain applications.  Files PDF and Word documents print very well, as plain txt files and files from my accounting software, but files CorelDraw and images in Photoshop CS5 reverse print.

    If I saved a CorelDraw file in PDF format, it will print correctly, but not the native file of COR.

    From Photoshop, it makes no difference what file format I print - jpeg, tif or even a file not saved - all printed reversed if I select black and white.

    Colour printing is fine for all applications.

    Like most of my needs to print b & w, I the printer defined as it as default and just change color when the need arises, but it means I lose lots of toner if I don't remember to print in color in CorelDraw or Photoshop.  Printing an image to grayscale in color also gives the evil eye.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    Try to use a PCL5 driver, which is likely to solve such a.

    First, open the control panel > devices and printers, right click on the printer and select printer properties.

    Open the Ports tab, and take note of the path selected for the printer, and then close this dialog box.

    Download and install the driver HP UPD PCL5, follow the installation by selecting the traditional model.

    Follow the wizard of printwr indicated by selecting the same port as used by the original and complete its installation driver.

    The UPD driver can be downloaded from the following link:

  • The printer cable connections

    I have a printer HP Laserjet 5 p, old but works very well.   It is wired to a cable to plug into the computer.   However, I now have a new computer, with no parallel port and will need to talk to the printer via a USB port.  Is there an adapter available that will allow me to connect the cable wired to my printer on the USB port?   My printer cable's 25-pin male, so I need a 25-pin female plug connected to a USB port.   I believe that a cable (6 ft) M501-1164 is available, but that would mean I'll have 12 feet of cable between my printer and the computer.   will be led to the loss of data?   Will need me new drivers if the computer communicate with the printer via USB and not via the parallel port?

    Thanks for any help.

  • Windows 7 cannot print on the HP LaserJet 5 p printer

    I spent about 5-6 hours on this and am pulling my hair out...

    I have a new computer HP w / W7 Home Premium 64-bit.  And I connect to my old LaserJet 5 p via a line parallel to the printer, to a man, 25-pin (DB25), which is connected a parallel cable DB25 female that has a USB port on the other end. USB is connected to the port on the new computer.   The peripheral area is listed as only an "unspecified unknown device."

    I started with W7 canned programs add a printer, setting up devices, download the drivers. Updates to the driver.  When the test print did nothing, so I went on troubleshooting.  So, which went nowhere...

    Then I went to HP, looked through many sites of help Articles/community and finally used their technical support for BOTH the new computer area (had me re-doing the preserved parts, download the drivers through zone devices, once again, and when have not (yet), they suggested I call their "Commercial LaserJet" technician who said...) "It is no longer supported." And if the driver that you downloaded does not work, it is not MS problem, our.  Contact with them. "(Possibly), brings me here.

    I went through the MS canned his fix and downloaded manually from the site of HP (as opposed to automatic download/updates devices), only to get a message... "Windows has encountered a problem installing the driver... error occurred during the installation, because it is not digitally signed or not signed it."  Contact your hardware vendor (IE HP, which does not support)

    Well, you get the picture... I work a pretzel here... MS wrote it's HP, HP says it's Ms... and all I want is to use my printer who worked two weeks ago on my old Compaq!

    Therefore, there is an index HP I found that looks like I might be closer to the problem that said .doc, find an interface IEEE 1284 in your devices and make sure there is no error code.  So, I found IEEE 1394 or something like that (I'm not there now).  BUT no IEEE 1284. Let the only error codes!

    So, I came in contact with the service of HP, and how IEEE 1284 it there instead.  They said they do not know, and it's a problem of Ms.

    So, to dig a little deeper, I found in 'Device Manager' I might add an IEEE 1284 printer... BUT slide it towards the bottom of the list did not have the 5 p. Close, but so far and nothing to update, as in the other area of the device...

    So, I'm pretty frustrated that a HP printer cannot work on a HP computer, even after the download a driver of HP. This is 1284 IEEEE something you can put in place?

    Clues on how to solve this problem would be very, very, very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hi my HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer will not print envelopes and labels. I can print documents in the usual way. I can print on the plateau of encelope, but I can't use Word 2003 to print an address.  When I check "what is the impression he's a doc of the envelope and he says Envoy."  The 'Attention' on the printer flashes.  Troubleshooting says it's a problem with the printer.  I ran the auditor of problem of HP and the message I get, is that the problrm is a paper jam. There is no paper jam!

    I would be grateful for any help

    Thank you

    Ron Barker

    Hi @RonBarker ,

    I see that you have problems printing of envelopes. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    The Word software, to change the auto power.

    When the light is flashing on the printer, if you open and close the cover, the printer should resume printing, it acts like a resume button. Given that this model does not have the button. But I've provided the steps to make the changes via the Word software.

    In Word, click on tools, select letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels, box of the envelope will be opened in the envelope tab, enter your address, click Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the autopower supply, it is probably set to manual. Check the food method to ensure that it is correctly set.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

    Hi phoneman007,

    Noboy here can speak on behalf of HP. We are just users of Windows help as much as possible - and when we can - Windows users: a commnity in other words.

    As I wrote drivers Windows Vista and Windows 7 is basically running on Windows 8 - I have 4 Windows 8 non-specific drivers that proved workso away.

    If you want a answer final about your question, I would say raise you to HP as - yet - no one here - but the user experience - can provide the kind of answer you'd expect (whether it works or not). That said, you can find information about the asset. the HP Universal Print Driver series for Windows here and say the Release Notes:
