• 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?

• 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.

• Install a printer LPT1 HP LaserJet 4 L printer USB port in Windows 7

  Before this "incident", I was able to print from my HP LaserJet 4 L (LPT1 to USB) printer.  I still have the correct driver.

  I was forced to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate and lost the ability to print from my LaserJet.  Windows only allows you to install it as a USB printer, but stop there in recognition.  I need to go beyond that point.

  It was working before and I know it can work again.  I just need help to get there.

• How can I get the total number of pages printed on my LaserJet 3055?

  I have a nice 1012 LaserJet that is not supported in Windows 7, but there is a solution which is to set up a Vista driver as if the printer is a LaserJet 3055.  It works, even if sometimes I get a printed statement that it does not work, and when that happens I just turn off the printer and turn on again immediately and it is fine.  I would like to know if there is anyway I can get the total number of pages printed at some point, as I could with the LaserJet 1012.

  P.S. This thread was moved from software for Laserjet. -Hp moderator of the Forum

  Please ignore my post on the LaserJet 3055.  With the help of a good soul on another thread of discussion, I was able to install and operate my LaserJet 1012 printer on Windows 7, exactly as it did in XP.  No errors, no slow printing, no problem.  The LaserJet 3055 thing helped initially as a work around, but the message about the bad personality who stopped the printer until you turned off and turned it back was boring.

• Print from TO Laserjet

  Hello

  I am an amateur so please forgive me if this is a silly question. I use Illustrator to design a brochure for my business, and I print on a Laserjet Printer brother. When I print a test page for the machine, it comes out crispy and the text is very clear. When I print from Illustrator, however, the text is a little pixelated, as if it was a little fuzzy. I tried different media and get the same result.

  I think that I export it wrong, but that's my question. I tried to create outlines, brochure pixelation and flattening, as well as the file I print without doing any of the things, but it looks the same. I also made sure the printer output is set to the PPP more high and defined for the specific media. Should I be printing from a different program, or have I missed something in my export file to the printer?

  Any help would be great!

  Thank you

  Pete

  Pete,

  I realize that my printer cannot print to the edge, but what adjustment will maximize the use of the paper and give me the smallest border?

  Everything is decided by the printer (driver)

  Also, is there anything else I can do to maximize print quality? I guess my quesition is, how can I save the file to make sure that my production is neat and clean. I'm printing brochures and leaflets and generally to use Illustrator. There are so many printing options, it's a little confusing for me. At the moment I put the maximum dpi (on the printer dialog box) and I usullay vectorize the text.

  If you have only vector illustrations and save to the PDF format, you can't do much more. No need to text, it can make things worse.

  Hello

  HP Laserjet 1100 is not a model number, a serial number of the printer.

  Select your correct link here HP model number, and follow it however to find if there are Vista drivers available.

  I hope this helps.

• Add a printer series using RS232 converter USB Vista

  I tried to use a converter USB to RS232 to connect a HP Laserjet 5 L printer to a laptop using windows vista.
  The driver for the converter has been added and is recognized by the computer, but I'm unable to add the printer from the control panel (I have the printer driver).

  Should I change the settings of the printer in the port section or any changes since the Device Manager?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hey Fabian,.

  HP LaserJet 5 L seems to be a very old printer and it seems that there are no updated drivers from Hpwebsite for Vista based computers: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=15005&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25480&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2093

  The printer is recognized as new hardware found?

  If possible, connect the printer directly to the RS232 port on another computer and check what is happening.

  Other USB devices work fine on this machine?

• Printer driver is not compatible with Vista

  The software with my hp psc 1210 printer is incompatible with my new laptop with Vista operating system. This screw my laptop closed loading! How can I find a driver download what suits Vista?

  and why put this here in the forum for Toshiba notebook if your printer isn't even a Toshiba product?
  The printer driver must be requested from the manufacturer of the printer and not the manufacturer of the computer/laptop.

  I guess it's an older printer and the drivers were only compatible with Win XP and more.

  To contact the manufacturer of the printer to get the drivers for Vista or Win 7

  PS: how about these drivers:

  Hey akis08

  you will need to go to the epson website and see if vista 64 bit drivers are availabe for your particular model printer

  If they download and install your printer

  If there is no vista 64 bit drivers it is time to buy a new printer

• Tried to install a printer in windows 7 using a vista driver. Now, I get an error 0 x 00000002.

  The problem occurred when trying to install a network printer on my laptop that is running Windows 7.  Now, when I select the printer in the menu "add a printer" and press "Next", I get 'Unable to connect to the printer' & 'the operation failed with error 0x00000002 ".
  The printer is a network printer, connected to my desktop running Vista.  In addition, it is a Brother MFC-8300.
  I can install the printer when it is connected directly to my laptop, but when I try to add it as a network printer, I have the problem that I have just described.  I should mention that I had to install a special version of the driver ("Brother MFC-8300 v.2") on my desk to solve another problem, I had with another computer on the network, which was running Vista-64 (see http://www.vistax64.com/vista-print-fax-scan/77226-brother-mfc-8300-printing-blank-pages.html).
  So basically this is what happens:
  (1) I click on 'add printer '.
  (2) I click on 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.'
  (3) I select ' Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on VISTAMACHINE ' and click 'next '.
  (4) a "Windows printer Installation" window appears and says "connection to Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on."
  VISTAMACHINE"and underneath"seeks pilot."
  (5) a "Add a printer" window appears with an "X" inside a red circle next to the mention 'to connect to the printer.
  "Windows cannot connect to the printer", and "Operation failed with error 0x00000002".
  Does anyone know what I need to do?

  Create two printers on the computer, the device sharing.  Make a word share name, do not use the name of the driver for sharing.  Spaces in the name to make it even more difficult when you set a SMB (local port) connection to the printer.  Set the Port for two printers shared the same (I assume that the device is connected to a USB Port).

  Use the driver Vista Inbox for the part for 32-bit machines.  Use the driver provided Brother (Brother MFC-8300 v.2) share for 64-bit machines.

• DeskJet 4535 & 1606dn laserjet: impossible to print some HP printable worksheets & impossible to remove the existing connected HP printer

  Hello.

  I just bought a new printer HP Deskjet 4535 at home and he registered so far as I can use HP pritables for my children. However I later discovered that another printer HP (Laserjet 1606dn) was alos registered to work under the same account. When I'm going to connect HP and list printable HP the default printer is the one labour (1606dn). Some pads cannot be printed for a reason any.  When I view the printable he says "it's available to print directly from your printer. Click on Add to My printable to print at the request of your printer display. ", but when I click on"Add to my platelets"it gives the error message"we couldn't add this printable. This printable is not supported on your printer. ».  Please help me solve this problem!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi @cakmak,

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem of HP pads.

  I understand that you have purchased a HP DeskJet 4535 use with HP all-in-one printer printable, but your work computer, HP Laserjet 1606dn, becomes in the way to be able to add a printable HP for your HP DeskJet 4535. I would like to help with that.

  When you go to HP connected , you should be able to remove the HP Laserjet 1606dn clicking the devices tab. The printer should be listed with its HP ePrint e-mail address and button settings below it. If you click on the settings button, there should be a picture of the Laserjet Printer and a "delete printer" option below that you can click to remove.

  Here is a document of support when troubleshooting printable HP - troubleshooting problems with HP ePrint printable.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.
