LaserJet 1600: laserjet 1600 and Windows 10

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and trying to reconnect my Laserjet 1600 up to it.  I am having some problems.  Snooping on the internets, apparently I'm not the only one, but I failed to find a solution that works for me.

I write this, I'm a little frustrated that windows 10 is not recognize my printer because: A) even though he is old, he is in perfect (speaking mechanicaly), working condition, despite B) is the age it's still frig'n dear to replace toner cartridges, I did recently before reconnecting (because it would not work without new toner) and C) trying to find an email to send tech support a very simple question ("Hi I have a Laserjet 1600, how to operate on Win 10?) is impossible to find, forcing me to comb through pages and web pages..., sorry, I'm starting to rant, and I don't want to yell.

SO, I have a Laserjet 1600, windows 10 and am looking for a way of do communicate with each other.  How do I do that?

then I unplugged the printer Laserjet, uninstalled the driver and left alone for a day.  Tonight, I plugged it to my computer, he felt, reinstalled the drivers...

and it now works perfectly.  And I have no idea why.  But it works, so, hazzah!

  • LaserJet p1006 and windows 8 pro 64-bit

    When released drivers for the laserjet p1006 for windows 8 pro 64-bit? I have a printer which i cannont use...

    Passed Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8, had all the problems mentioned above, trying to install Laser Jet P1006.  Downloaded and installed Windows 7 64 bit P1006 drivers from HP web site, hp_LJ_P1005_Full_Solution_Row.exe, and ljP1000_P1500-HB-pnp-win64 - in .exe.  Had to install both in the order listed above, printer would not work with a driver in itself.  Printer works like a champ, can't install the new 64 bit drvr Win8 when (if) HP comes out with it.

    Update: A worked well for a week, out of nowhere the same document is sent to print twice, one showing file size, a display 0 kb to the size of the file cannot be deleted 0 kb file without unplugging the printer and restart the computer.  May have to do with the installation of Office 2010. Back to the drawing board.

    Update 2: after failing to uninstall driver, used HP print and Scan Doctor in order to get the docs on the queue, and how 'delete device '.  After that, couldn't find no port selected in "Print properties", I use the usb port 2, but was not yet registered, usb 1 was for my other printer (Lexmark).  Computer restarted, a second icon p1006 printer/device manager, was listed usb port 2 and was selected.  Printer worked.  Uninstalled first icon legacy p1006, unfortunately the two p1006 icons disappeared.  Computer restarted, windows detected printer and installed, p1006 icon reappeared in Device Manager, usb still selected as port 2.  At the moment the two printers work.  All I have to ' do now is of fig on the flag "yellow" on my pc modem... 8 windows aah.

    Also:
    1. recently installed Office 2010.  In previous versions of windows and Office, had a similar impression of the problems with the hp laserjet p1006 queued default printer.  The fix was to choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer as default, and then select the printer that I want to use in the program when I tried to print a document.  Even once just in case.
    2. having two HP printers (for example a deskjet and a laserjet) downloaded on your computer causes all sorts of problems of print queue.  Has to do with both printers using common files. HP has ever imagined a fix for what I know (haven't checked lately), so if you have an HP printer that is installed, and you want a second printer, you have to buy a different brand as Lexmark for your second printer printer.  Suppport from HP will talk about common files, but not on the installation of a different brand printer, then you will have to take my word for it that it works.

  • HP LaserJet 1020 and Windows 8

    Hello

    I have a HP 1020 Laserjet connected to one of my Windows 7 x 64 PC, the printer is shared on my home network. Everything works fine if I feel of other widows 7 x 64 PC on the network.

    I converted a PC Windows 8 x 64 and I can not print any file more on the printer that is connected to Widows 7 PC on the network.

    I can connect to the printer and print a windows test page 8 PC, but any other application will fail to print, I can see the file in the queue of the coil, but it never prints the application on windows 8 just pointing out that it stops working.

    The problem is very easy to reproduce, just try to print any document. IE: With Notepad or any other application from a windows 8 PC to the printer connected to a windows 7 PC on the same home network.

    Yet, if I connect the printer locally on windows 8 x 64 PC on a USB port, the printer seems to work very well.

    Looks like there is an incompatibility with the current driver available trying to be rolled up a file to the network for HP 1020 laserjet printers, I don't see one for windows 8...

    A specific driver for HP 1020 will be available for windows 8?

    Thanks, F.G.

    Hi fg2001,

  • LaserJet P1005 and Windows 7

    I have just download and install the latest drivers for Windows 7 64 bit from HP for my Laserjet P1005 website.  However I can't get the printer to work.  I tried the basic so the star driver.

    With the automatic configuration, I go to the step where it says connect my printer (the fundamental and comprehensive driver), but I never get an option to conitnue.  When I connect / turn on the printer, I see the device in the control panel Windows 7 as an unknown device, but the installation wizard n no change to give me the next button.  So I can't do anything.

    When I try to install manually, I can successfully install the Windows printer c can be seen, but when I go to print, the first time, the light flashes right on the printer and after that, the printer does nothing.  If I remove the task from the queue, when I go to print again, the work just stay in the queue and printer normal lighting.

    Any1 have any ideas or are there problems with the drivers.

    Thank you

    Daniel.

    SOLUTION!

    Hello

    I think I found the solution.

    I downloaded the latest driver on the HP site. I run the Setup, and as the instaler asked me to plug the printer I did. Of course, nothing happened.

    I left the open Installer and downloaded this tool:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-59850-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&OS=1060&product=3435668

    I run the tool, and still nothing.

    Then, I opened the Device Manager and discovered the printer kisted under "unknown device". I cliocked on her right and updated the driver, I selected to check the drivers online as well.

    The driver is installed in seconds and the installer HP always open recognized the printer, making me now to install the extended functionality.

    I have a Bud pretty testpage my hand. All of this has worked. I don't think that the plugandplay recovery tool was essential to make it work. But I posted it in all cases.

    Hope that helps.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2840 and windows 8.1

    I was using my printer HP Color Laserjet 2840 all-in-one and then upgraded to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and a new computer system.  I was told that this printer is compatible with 8.1 (by HP support staff) only to find out that I can not format my analysis in a pdf file, a jpeg file only.

    I'm curious to know why Windows 8.1 does not support the PDF on this printer?  So I wonder if I mess with the jpeg file or to splurge on a new printer.  Will there be an upgrade on the printer driver on HP that would restore the pdf to this printer on a scan function?  I have reviewed again printers still want a Color LaserJet all-in-one and found the HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 at a reasonable price that is supposed to be Windows 8.1 bearable.  Any comments or solutions would be appreciated!  Really want to buy a new printer, if I did not also.

    All you need is a PDF Converter.  There are many other free published on the Internet through web services and applications that you can download to your PC.  With a PDF converter all you need to do is create a new scan in .tiff and leave the converter format for you.

    . PDF is a file owner belonged to Adobe type.  Only licensed products are allowed to create. PDF documents from scratch.  If I had to guess that the particular license with your expired for Win8.1 and HP printer model are not interested in this renewal.  Therefore, you will need to use the free image formats and work with an Adobe product on your own for. Supported on this model of printer.

    If you are considering the purchase of a new model of the printer, then check the full software downloads that are available.  If HP has a comprehensive software solution that is available then the chances are good it can withstand. PDF on Win8.1.  If no complete solution is available then HP may be the development or licensing to support and you will have to depend on the free TWAIN drivers and free file formats that are universally available.

  • Duplex with our laserjet HP4100 and Windows 7 network printing

    We have two new HP with Windows 7 desktop computers and you try to use the front and back of our network service HP laserjet 4100 dtn can you suggest the correct drivers or settings please?

    Hi, this might be the question why his does not work.

    It's a bug in Windows 7. The duplexor is reported as not installed by default, so you'll have to change that.

    Go to the Control Panel, find the devices and printers, then click on it. Then right click on your printer icon and choose 'printer properties '. In the new screen go to the "Device settings" tab and under "automatic duplex print unit" set installation options on installed. Should be on is not installed by default, so change installed, then click on apply. Restart the software and perhaps even your computer and check that duplex printing is an option now.

  • Color laserjet 2840 and windows 8.1

    Hi, I'm running for laptop HP Pavilion dv9700 entertainment.

    Just finished the clean install of windows 8.1

    Run big so far.

    Before I went from Vista 32 to 8.1 Windows I used this same printer on my machine and I used a suite of HP called something like (HP Solution center), which allowed me to manage my features all-in-one printer (print, copy, fax) via a single user interface.

    My q, is there a similar package I can use in windows 8.1.

    By default, I don't see anything, and I don't have the solution center software to reinstall. ??

  • HP LaserJet 4050: Error printing on HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 Windows R2 2012

    We have recently migrated our Windows Server 2003 environment to Windows Server R2 2012.  Some of our printers, specifically HP Laserjet 4050 and 4100 no longer work with Server R2 2012, even if we downloaded the drivers for Windows R2 2012 from the Internet HP site and made sure the printer was using the new driver from HP.  When you try to print from the server or terminal connection, we get a "printing error" in the status field in the queue.  We do not know what to do to get these printers to print.  We have several of them and redirect users to print to another printer which is further so they can print.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Best regards

    Paul

    If you cannot print from the server, then on the server, the parameters must be incorrect.  You can even ping the printers on the server?  Since you have more than 1 printer with this problem I doubt that all the printers hp all wrong.  Something else in the way that you configure these printers must be the issue.  If you can ping and also access the web server, then I think you have problems with active directory.  If you can not ping so perhaps have changed the ip addresses or the road you take these ip address has changed.

  • Windows 7, LaserJet 1200 and collating copies

    I recently upgraded to an office with new machines that came with Windows 7. Two Secretaries use still old HP LaserJet 1200 s, and while I got them to print and scan, there is a problem with multiple copies. If I disable the snack, they can print several copies. Otherwise, it will only make a copy. Anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to get the old printer at the same time make several copies and collect? Thank you! Seth

    For someone who comes across a similar problem, I found a solution in this thread: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/LaserJet-1200-and-Multiple-Copies/m-p/1161674/highlight/true#M189760

    The tread is long enough, but at the end of the day, I followed these simple instructions and now several copies with Assembly work.

    "The problem is caused by the default Mopier enabled Mode.  The idea of the Mopier Mode is to minimize the computer and network traffic by sending only 1 copy on an appropriate equipped with an internal memory printer.  That the stored copy is then used to produce multiple copies.  LaserJet most have no appropriate internal memory and therefore a copy sent by the computer is printed.  To turn off Mopier Mode:

    1. click on start

    2. click on devices and printers

    3. right click on your LaserJet printer

    4. Select printer properties

    5. click on the device settings tab

    6. scroll the page up to the botom

    7. click on Mopier Mode

    8. Select Disable

    9. click on apply. »

    I am trying hours now to find. I'm so frustrated.

    Link by link, do not get any closer. All text and links, and no driver at the end.

    The cat does not work because it is not happy with S/N, or model number.

    Thanks to all those who want to help.

    You are the very welcome.

    I guess that's what you have to do unless you can connect your PC to the internet.

    You can also download the stand-alone update from the Microsoft update catalog to another PC and copy to that you have the printer using a usb flash drive or you burn on a CD.

  • Driver HP LaserJet 4 for Windows 7

    I just talked to HP and they did not intend to write a driver for my HP LaserJet 4.  I love this printer and it is 12 years old, it works fine and I don't want to throw in the landfill.  HP suggested that contact Microsoft for a patch so that I can use my HP LaserJet 4 with Windows 7.  Y at - it a patch or some way that Microsoft can help me with that I can use my HP LaserJet 4 with Windows 7 (either 32 or 64 bits - I havene't yet ordered my new PC).  Thank you!!!

    Hello
    There is a driver for this printer but you must select Windows update when you are in the Add Printer Wizard. It will take more than 10 minutes to get a list of printers that are updated, and during this time that the window will appear frozen, it is not. Be patient.

    I have a printer HP LaserJet series II (much older than yours) and she also had a driver for it.
