• 2545 HP Deskjet printer: my printer shows offline

  Hello

  I have connected my printer Hp Deskjet 2545 wireless all-in-one with wireless using the SSID and the state my router shows connected, but in devices and the installation of the printer, it shows 'offline' how to change to "online"?

  Help, please...

  Thank you

  Hi @3427 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

  I see that you are having connectivity problems.  I would like to help!

  I recommend you to perform a power reset.   Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  I also suggest this document on Center of troubleshooting wireless printing.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

• hp4100 printer shows offline

  HP4100 printer shows offline. BUT it prints a page of test well and when printing if you press the pause button and then press on resume it prints very well. So obviously this isn't 'offline' but I have to do this each time I print?

  Thank you

  If you haven't already done so, try to reset the printing system.

• HP LaserJet 4100: Problem with the universal print driver

  Desktop: HP Envy 700-214

  OS: 10 64-bit Windows

  Printer: HP LaserJet 4100 (with a USB to parallel cable)

  I was able to properly use my LaserJet for Windows 8.1 through my Windows 10 crossing (which I upgraded to about 18 months ago).  Quite recently, I welcomed Windows Installer a upgrade, and at this time there, I lost my ability to print.   It has been on my default printer, but gave an error message when I tried to print.

  I tried to "Add a printer" and selected the HP 4100 connected to the LPT1 port.  It would not print a test page, and the printer does not like in the reception of data.

  I then tried to install the (PCL6 and Postscript) universal print driver with similar lack of results.

  I tried uninstallinDeg and reinstall the drivers, but once again no joy.  Incidentally, although I'm going to Device Manager > printing queues and remove the drivers, when I set up an application like Word and select the Menu printing, many copies of drivers rest yet.  When I go to remove them using the printui/s/T2, it is said that they are currently in use and cannot be deleted.

  Yet once again, I repeat - it is not a hardware problem because everything worked well before Windows upgrade.  I just need to find a way to reinstall a driver who will speak to my printer.  It of frustrating because I was able to do that before, but may not know what I am doing wrong.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello GaryLynn,

  You saw did a lot of things to try to solve this issue.

  However the USB to parallel isn't anHP officially supported connection type.

  in any case, what suggests I´d, is that you try this:

  • Unplug the hybrid cable that you use
  • Uninstall all copies of the printer and its duplicates.
  • Stop the print spooler by using the services on windows (type on cortana services.msc) locate print spooler and stop it
  • Go to run and coil type, look at the Printers folder and delete all the files that are there (if any)
  • Restart the spooler to print services.
  • Download and install this driver package
    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=FP-148007-1
  • Turn on your printer and connect the cable.

  After this exercise, check to see if windows 10 has managed to find the best driver to use your printer.
  If widows did not automatically find it, try the manual on add a Printer Wizard.

  If not reading as LPT1, check ports either USB00 ' # ' or a port DOT4, those who should be the ports to use.

  I hope this helps you get your printer going again.

  Thank you

• Problem updating firmware on LaserJet 4100

  Hi all

  Looks like I can put my subject in the wrong forum. I have no doubt I should have put my question here in the forum of firms. If someone could take a look at my problem and update (here or here, I subscribe to two topics), I'd be happy.

  https://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printing-issues-troubleshooting/LaserJet-4100-firmware-unable-to-updat...

  If an admin can move my post on this forum (or anywhere where it belongs) so that the right people see I understand that too!

  Sorry, new to these forums and forums of discovery of the 'user' before I found the forums 'enterprise '.

  Thank you

  Hello Derek Cunningham, I am an engineer of the HP technical support. I am taking the floor for me and not for HP, but I believe that I can help you.

  Well, it took some searching.  The latest version of firmware that I could find was little out August 2, 2003 (version 1.040.2) part No. C4168-67907 listed as "HILL of DIMM KIT - ROCK".   That said, as of March 31, 2009, the product is no longer a support and spare parts may no longer be available.  I gathered this information by your request directly - however, don't believe not that the firmware update will solve the problem of 'page spew' reported.  I went through the list of firmware for different DIMM firmware versions fix and see nothing corresponding to your symptomatic behavior.

  If your workflow printing is to point and print (customers who print via a print server) Please ensure that the server and clients pilots match.  You can always remove the printer connection client and restore to ensure that binary correspondents sells.  Driver version is important, because the old specific drivers are not supported or even stable with current operating systems.  I suggest you switch for the driver of Microsoft OS Inbox for testing.

  Suggestions were made to try to PCL 5 or PS, I think that the essential thing here is to make sure you are using the latest driver for your product and the OS.

• C4780: printer showing offline

  Hi, my printer worked fine wirelessy, then stopped and on my Macbook shows the printer as 'printer offline' & BT router Hub are connected wireless and the BT Hub and my laptop are connected wirelessly.  I downloaded the latest driver for my laptop on the HP site which has successfully installed, but the printer still shows offline.  I tried initially to use the installation disc HP original, who got almost 90% through the installation and then says "error" and disconnected.

  Your help would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hi @sheamansenior.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you are unable to connect to your printer via the wireless network.

  If the printer is to maintain the connection to the network, try to go in the paper. Printers HP - printer keeps Wi-Fi connection. He has a pretty good network troubleshooting steps.

  If you have any questions, or if this does not resolve the problem, let me know.

• 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.

• HP Laserjet 4100 on Windows 7 X 64

  I have a Laserjet 4100 I used on Windows 7 X 32, without incident. I recently installed X 64 version and now I cannot print at all. Windows 7 installed the driver automatically, but I also tried to install the universal print driver for 7 X 64 for this printer (typical installation), and I scheduled the LPT1 port (there is only 1 parallel port), but also tried the default DOT4_001 port. When the driver installed first I printed a page of test, but after that it would never work successfully. I have triple checked the cable. Windows detects the printer, but I get a printing error in the queue and it prints ever. I tried to run Mats_Run.printing of MS and found no problem.

  Solved. For some reason any, if I have only one parallel port, it is considered LPT3, maybe because it's a PCI expansion card. If I set the port to LPT3. I had tried this post install and it did not work, but once I chose LPT3 during installation, it worked.

• Connect to a printer HP Laserjet 4100 (parallel port only) to a USB 2.0 on the 64-bit computer.

  Can I use a parallel (connector 25 pins) - to - cable USB adapter to connect a HP Laserjet 4100 to a computer on Windows 7 (64 bit)? There is no other available ports on this old printer

  It is possible, but there have been many reports of the USB parallel adapter does not.

  The Belkin adapter seems to work for many.

• HP 6100 shows offline

  Have a HP Officejet 6100F & Win 7 and now won't print wireless and in the Configuration Page of the network it shows "offline".  In the print dialog box, it does not show in offline mode. Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

  I found my own answer to a question in calchap and responded by garytech. I used printing HP and doctor Scan and the printer works now. At least it printed a page I asked.

  Thanks for being there. I remember in the past that the printers (and features) in Control Panel, there was a place you could check to be on or offline, but it isn't here now. Using the print dialog box where you can check and uncheck the same thing, he said I was online. Go figure!

  Anyway, alls well that ends well, thank you guys for being there.
