HP Laserjet 4050N: old printer - new windows

I have an old printer (HP Laserjet 4050N) and just got a new office with Windows 10. I have two printers connected to it but the 4050N simply won't talk to her. HP printer and scan doctor told me there is nothing wrong, but no test page will print or it will print from other programs.

HP Laserjet 4050 n is hooked up through the usb port.  I changed usb ports, changed cables and uninstalled and reinstalled programs from the official site of HP. I bought a USB connector series and still have the same problem. I even swapped the 6 ft USB connection cables between the two printers and the Epson print very well. Whenever I connect the HP, I get a message unknown USB. The printer will print within his own menu, but not from the computer.

It seems that something in the printer menu may prevent the connection but I don't know what else to do. I connected each port it has to the new computer and still have the same result.

These days, the best way to hang an old legacy printer is with an EIO network card.  You can buy them for little money on ebay.  You can use 600N, 610N 615N that everything will be cheap.  The card fits into one of the EIO housing at the rear and is very easy to install.  In fact looking at your post again once you have the model 4050N meaning originally, it came with a network card.  If there a just do a google search to configure the card.

  • HP LaserJet p2035n: LaserJet p2035n Duplex printing in Windows 7 x 64 error

    I added a Windows 7 x 64 computer to the home network. Duplex printing works, but the second manual side does not invert the order of the pages, resulting in a controlled print job. In XP, of course, there was an option to reverse the order of pages when you print the even pages. Any ideas how to make it works with the Windows 7 printer driver?

    Well, I finally thought to it after trying various options. The solution is completely counterintuitive, is not yet documented anywhere on Earth, but it works. Here's how:

    Select "Print on both sides, flip on short edge pages."

    Press 'print '.

    Once the print job is done on the first side, the troubled yellow icon at the top of the printer starts flashing.

    Remove the printed pages of the delivery tray and place head downstairs, side white upward, in the manual feeder.

    Press the button on top of the printer paper.

    Second side will now display in the correct order.

    Thank you, HP, whereby we understand such things on our own.

  • M277 LaserJet MFP Pro: Printer 10 Windows just stopped working

    My printer worked for at least a month after the upgrade to Windows 10, and then it stopped working.

    Initially, I didn't find any game by default, and the ability to set it wouldn't work.  I tried to run the software install, V14309, but the installer just turn and quit, finally tells me to restart.  I did, the default value of the printer was there, I could change the default, but it wouldn't print and finally gave me a protection fault errors, telling me that the printer was not installed on this computer and restart my computer.

    Help!

    An update:

    After several reboots, the software uninstalled the software installation and after a reboot, I then reinstalled it.  He printed a copy of test, but when I checked on the printer to set preferences, it wrong agin similarly and told me not to have any software installed!

    A final update, I think:

    When I reinstalled the software I notice 2 printers: the original and a (1 copy) and the installation had set the default version (copy 1).  I tried to use the original and is the one who has failed and exploded with the error 0x1f622f2b.

    I then tried (copy 1) and guess what: what WORKED ON!

    Why is it so I have no idea.

    I spent a very unproductive hour, trying to get the help of telephone support HP in India.

    If a Windows 7 driver exists (if it's an old printer, a Windows 7)
    driver exists may not) you can find it on the Dell web site.

  • Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 5 p - old printer printer does not work with this new computer

    Just bought new PC and it has Windows 7.  Old HP LaserJet 5 p printer has always worked with last PC (XP).  This printer uses the parallel so purchased and plugged port with a parallel to USB printer cable.  Thought everything was cool when it seemed that the printer was recognized as "new device" but would not print my Word document.  Review of the Panel's PC recognized some other strange printer, so it has been deleted and I used the troubleshooter to find and download the old printer driver.  PC now shows the correct printer but my documents still won't print.  What can / should I do for these 2 working together?  Don't want to have to buy a new printer just to get something that works with 7.

    I was too frustrated. Finally, I solved the problem. I bought a parallel to USB cable head Gear. First attempts do not work. Unplug the printer from the computer. That removing all printers (some I just created trying). Make sure that you do not have the test pages in the queue (cancel all), otherwise impossible to remove printer. Also update windows drivers (to add the printer section). Turn off the computer. Connect printer USB available on the computer again. Turn on computer. And. You DID!

  • New Windows 7 machine and old printer HP OfficeJet J4580

    I just bought a HP P7 1234 Windows 7 machine.  I plugged my old printer to my vista computer on my new HP machine.  It's a HP Officejet J4580 all-in-One.  Windows find drivers that work, but it did not load the HP Solution Center.

    I loaded the 130.0.44.62 HP Solution Center, but the function 'Add a device' does not see my printer connected to the USB port.

    As you can imagine after that reading the messages here, feeding high things and bottom, connection and disconnection of the devices is not work or help.  I can't not work printer from the HP Solution Center scan functions.  I am a loyal customer of HP, but it shouldn't be rocket science.  If there is no patch from HP that will make my HP Solution Center see my printer, or if not, there are only a few easy steps to solve this problem, can you recommend a current HP printer all in one for about $100 that will load and play as announced?

    Chris hoping he doesn't have to cut, delete, load and restart, load and restart, ad nauseam.

  • Installation/use of an old printer to a new laptop

    Can I install a HP laserjet 1000 series printer I purchsed in 2005 on a laptop brand new - probably HP - that I will buy in the next few days? Or do I have to buy a new printer?

    Hello

    Your new laptop runs Windows 7 (unless you spend it) and no support from HP for your old printer driver. It seems that you have to buy a new printer and it's the way sellers (all) make money. In fact, the development of new products is much less expensive than to support the old products so all I can say: it's LIFE.

    Merry Christmas.

    PS I do not work for any provider and I hate them all.

  • 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

  • LaserJet 4050N: cannot connect the printer to the network.

    Hi all

    I recently moved my house, where a new router. My HP LaserJet 4050N was previously connected to my router to another and worked well on the network. However, in my new House and my router (ethernet port connected to the printer) I can't find the printer on the network. I tried to change the IP address, but still when I try to ping, I get the timeout error.

    Help, please.

    Hi Calstar,

    I suggest you uninstall the printer and then reinstall it with the new IP assigned to the printer. Let me know what you find?

    Hello

    Hoping someone can give us a helping hand,

    We have 2 laptops, but do not have the computer knowledge with regard to the way in which they work outside the office.

    I just got a HP Laserjet 4050n, who was printing when I bought it, but I can't print now that I have it here at home.

    I tried to install the PCL5 and PCL6, both are sitting there in the Printers folder, but I can't use them without an error message.

    Too old for plug-and-play, it seems that HP support even more in their stuff, so completely lost in what to do.

    Advice please? is anything too technical, but someone who can guide me through the steps to get this think to print?
