laser jet to usb conversion cable

I have a HP laser Jet 1100 s in perfect condition and I would continue to use it with my new laptop, but I need a conversion cable which would replace the connector to a USB connector 25 pins. Y at - it a possiblity that a cable like this is available and will work.

?

R. Gale Harter

Earlier made the conversion. That's what I did. I ordered a USB adapter cable female parallel printer DB for $5,46. This allowed me to use the original printer with smart card cable. I plugged the usb connector on my laptop and windows 8 load the driver and the printer works like a charm. Can be a turn on the way to solve the problem, but it works. I want to thank you for your comments.

  • How to get a hp 4600 Color Laser jet print on a vista or Windows 7 64 - bit OS PC which does not have a parallel port connection?

    My hp 4600 color Laser Jet uses a parallel cable to connect to a Windows PC. When I had XP as the OS it worked fine. But now after the upgrade to Vista or Windows 7 64-bit OS it will not work and my PC does not even recognize it when it is plugged into the PC with the parallel to USB cable that worked so well before. So, what should I do to get the PC to recognize the Hp 4600 and have it printed again as before? (My first plan is to try to get the printer to work by hooking up through Wireless. Does anyone know if it will work? I'll answer my own question, if it does. Wish me luck! (Thank you!)

    According to the HP support site, there are drivers available for Vista and Windows 7 If you're lucky it. Download the appropriate drivers for your computers. According to the information of product from HP, this printer can be connected directly to the network by an ethernet cable. I don't see where it has wireless capability, but in any case ethernet is preferable for printer connections if possible.

    Connect the printer directly to your router or switch connected to your router and assign a static IP address outside the range the router DHCP. Then, install the drivers that you got from the HP website for your operating system.

  • Laser Jet 4100N: direct connection of Laser Jet 4100N using a crossover cable CAT5/6

    Hello

    I want to connect my Laser Jet 4100N directly to my laptop which only has USB and LAN ports.

    The printer has a parallel port and a LAN port.

    I have access to WiFi internet, the modem is located in another room.

    I have a CAT 5/6 connecting cable.

    I get the 192.168.1.8 IPv4 address for my computer by typing IPCONFIG at the command prompt.

    I connected the crossover between my laptop and the printer cable.

    Turn on the printer lit up an indicator on the LAN port on the printer.

    In the menu devices & printers, I added a new option of "using TCP/IP" printer and 192.168.1.8 provided IP address.

    The computer search TCP/IP but end in nothing.

    Please help me to communicate with the printer.

    Thank you.

    You try to use your wireless PC address to print with a wired device.

    Your PC has two network adapters, they are not in fact cards, they are integrated into the motherboard and but I will refer to them as cards for simplicity, or I could call ports.

    When you find the IP address of your PC you are probably finding an IP address wireless, but since you're wired card has never been configured statically and is not connected to a network there is no ip address.

    What I would do would be statically configure the IP address of the port wired on your PC, & I would something like 192. 168 2. 2, with a default gateway of 192. 168 2. 10, & a subnet mask of 255. 255 255. 0 and don't worry because you do not connect you to the largest network on the DNS servers. Then I go to the printer and change the network settings and give it a 192 IP address. 168 2. 10 and its default gateway I would set it to 192. 168 2. 2 and the subnet mask would be the same that you set on the PC.

    Regarding the process of search for the cable network on your PC etting sand information in map, I think you need to do some research of the internet based on your operating system. I mean version of Windows operating system. Windows 7 would be different from Windows 8 in perhaps a few minor details.

    The reason why I change that a number from 1 to a game in your IP address is that it puts the port wired into a network separate from the wireless port, in my view, that will keep your PC of confusion as to which port uses to communicate with the printer.

    And back to another part of the discussion, the default gateway of a network printer on a small network is often on the IP address of the printer because the printer has never try to connect to what outside the network, but in your case, we want to put the IP address of your PC wired port to ensure that When the preacher looking for information, outside of himself, he sends will go to your PC.

  • Laser Jet 4000

    Is it possible to make a Laser Jet 4000 printer a wireless printer?

    Well, it took a bit of digging to find a solution for this old printer but I don't know yet, it works as a reservoir.  What I see in the manual, this printer had a connectors series and parallel.  No USB, no Ethernet.   These types of connections are blindly for wireless installation.  With the help of 'conversion' and cables using a wireless USB print server may or may not work, same Ethernet may not work.

    You are looking for more on the above, but here's another solution that can help.

    If you have a desktop running Windows 7, get a card series or parallel to install inside.  Now install the printer drivers that are included with Windows 7.  Now, just SHARE the printer on your network with the computer connected wireless or wired to your router.

  • HP Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP: No compatible Twain installed device

    Hello

    I hope someone can help please. Yesterday, I was using my printer color Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP multifunction scan a few pages. The analysis went through fine without problem like so many others before. No changes have been made to the system and I am the only person using the computer and the printer.

    About 45 minutes after the last scan, I went to scan another page when I got this message:

    "No Twain compatible device installed, please install one and try again.

    The scanner wouldn't work. I tried restarting the computer and the printer on and outside, does not. I thought that maybe there was a problem with the machine itself or a loose cable or connection but the machine still print documents.

    I tried to use HP printing and doctor Scan and it does not work. He guided me to several pilots. I downloaded and tried one called "CM1312series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA1-v5.1". The installation will not fully cross and reverses. The same thing happens when I try to reinstall the original software that I used to use the scanner a few years back.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Thank you

    I finally solved the problem the next day after several hours of frustration.

    I would like to uninstall the driver software, disconnect the USB cable, and restart the computer. After the reboot, I would try one of the options mentioned previously. At some point, the installation process asked me to reconnect the USB cable and then click on the button 'OK' or 'Continue' in the dialog box for installion.

    However, I noticed that as soon as I plugged in the USB cable, but before I could click the button, Windows would automatically begin to install a driver. That would be doing the same thing. He would install components 6 or 7, 4 or 5 would move to print successfully. A separate status dialog box would jump to the top showing these parts installed. A green check mark appears beside the print functions. However, 2 components dealing with sweeping would not install properly. These components would get a red X next to them.

    During this time, I would have clicked on the button 'OK' or 'Continue' in the dialog box for installion. After a few minutes, the installation abort itself and I would end up having to uninstall the driver and restart everything again.

    Finally, he appeared on me that 2 separate facilities are taking place at the same time. What finally solved the problem after uninstalling the driver and restart again, I started the original installation process, but when I was asked to connect the USB cable, I first disconnected the computer from the internet and then connected the USB cable.

    Before I could click on the "Continue" button, I noticed that the separate installation process began again. Immediately, I clicked the X in this dialog box to put an end to this facility. I then clicked 'Continue' on the installation dialog box desired and it finally all settled. Once it is installed, I reconnected it the computer to the internet and the scanner now worked.

    Thanks for your advice in any case.

  • laser jet 100 color mfp M175nw

    OK, I'm about to explode a joint here. I bought a new router and I have now the 100 HP Laser Jet color MFP M175nw problems to connect. I can connect and print via USB, but not wireless. I can see the printer on my computer in the Network Center and he has five bars of signal WiFi. I uninstalled everything and run the MS Utility and then reinstalled the software. Even with the USB cable plugged in, I can't open the Toolbox HP because it does not connect. I can connect to the printer via a network cable to my route, and I can see but not print. Right now I use a network open with bonds. The blue wirless button keeps blinking on the printer. I have reset the default printer. I connected to my router and I tried to conect it there as well. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Hi @flexcuff ,

    I see by your post you are having problems setting up the printer on the wireless network. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Restore the default settings of the network printer.

    • Press the Setup button. (key)
    • Select the network configuration Menu.
    • Then select default settings.

    Print a configuration report to ensure that the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is disabled.

    Print a Configuration report.

    Here are the instructions to set up the printer via the Direct wireless set up the printer on the network as the Infrastructure.

    Turn the wireless directly on the printer.

    On the printer, press the setup button, select (key) and network configuration menu, select wireless menu, select direct wireless and turn it on.

    On the computer, in the lower right corner, click on the wireless icon, and select the printer from the list to connect to. Then open Internet Explorer and type the IP address (192.168.223.1) of the printer in the address bar.
    This will load the web server integrated for the printer.
    Select the networking, Wi - Fi on the left side.
    Fill in all your information network, select infrastructure, select the name of your network, set password and encryption type. Apply the settings.

    Click on the wireless icon and connect to your network name.

    Print a configuration report to ensure that the IP address is valid. (192... or 10...)

    Now, create a new port, this will save you the time, instead of uninstall and then reinstall the software.

    Go to start, devices and printers, right click on the printer, go to the printer properties, select the Ports tab.

    Click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
  • Laser Jet 2550

    I have a Laser Jet 2550 PCL6 who decided not to print. Correction - it will be auto printing but nothing I try I have only a mistake of the printer. Have tried everything short of uninstall and re install.

    Everyone comes through this?

    Hi egglady,

    Thanks for the information.  I suspect that it is within the connection.  Try to connect the printer directly to the computer.  If it does not, add the driver through Windows with the USB cable connected directly to the PC.  See the information below about the drivers to use.  Here is a link that will provide measures for this. Link

    Additional information:

    1. follow the steps above provide links to add the driver

    2. for the manufacturer choosing HP, for printer select print HP Universal PCL5 or PCL6-either will work

    or

    3. the universal driver file can be download from here

  • laser jet 4 p: hplaserjet4p

    Can someone tell me the type of cable I would need to be able to print to my hp laser jet 4 p compatible with my home network air. I understand that a USB cable works except there is no USB port on the printer.

    You must be able to connect to your network so that you can consider using a JetDirect 300 x attached to the printer connected and parallel cable wired port on your router.

    Not sure if that will get with Apple Air Print, but it will get the 4 p is connected to the network.

  • Print Page of cleaning HP Color Laser Jet CP1215 problem

    I have a HP Color Laser Jet CP1215 connected to a Windows7 64 bit operating system. The printer prints the shadows cast on the left and right of the paper edges, but also the light shadows in the printing.  I saw the HP Toolbox for my printer and tried to print a cleaning page.  All I get is a text box indicating that the printer could not be accessed, even if it will calibrate and print a test page. I need different drivers or is there another solution?

    Hi eitooc,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that you found shadows on the page when printing.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    The driver may be corrupted not allowing all the features work.

    There could be a problem with the toner or the fuser unit causing this problem.

    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. Try running Cleanup again.

    Here is a document to solve problems of quality Print. Follow the steps to see if that will help solve the problem.

    If you still have problems you can uninstall and reinstall the latest version of the software.

    HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer Drivers. Select the operating system, and then click Next.
    Click on driver - product Installation software and download the drivers.

    Then try to re-run the cleanup page.

    This happens with all applications?

    What kind of paper do you use?

    You use genuine HP toner?

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a great weekend!

    Recently, I pulled out my old XP machine to a new one running 64-bit Windows 7.  My old PCL6 Laser Jet 2100 always worked fine on XP but I can't get anything to print on the new machine.  When I plugged it in the Win 7 box it installed in a minute or two and said all was ready.  When I sent a test page to him, it showed print but nothing happened.  The printer displays printer status is ready, but nothing happens.

    I use a cable GB adapter cable to the parallel port on the printer to a USB port, same as I did on the XP box.  Do I need a newer cable?  Is it possible to make my old workhorse 2100 printing in Win 7 box?

    2. Click on Service.

  • HP Laser Jet 4250 printer: installation Laser Jet 4250 Windows 10

    Laser Jet 4250 is compatible with windows 10?

    If you still can not get the printer to work with usb, this printer has 2 EIO slots, and you can use one of these locations to insert a network card EIO (610N, 615N and 620N) which are not that expensive on ebay. Once you install the network card, you will be able to connect the printer to your router or switch if you have one and then have computers attached to the printer by using tcp/ip.
