LaserJet 4050: Laserjet 4050 connecting to the new computer

I just finished setting to the top of my new desktop computer (Maj MainGear - very nice!).  I started to connect my LaserJet 4050 via its cable parallel (IEEE-1284) to see that my new computer does not seem to have this port.  She seems to have only USB ports.  Any suggestions?   Is there a parallel to USB adapter?

Yes, there is such an adapter but your biggest problem will be drivers for the printer work with current versions of Windows. Computers have no parallel ports for quite a while. This is the cable of the adapter that I used with my Laserjet 4050:

You must use the "Universal" printer driver and it strips away any sort of advanced features, but don't let not the printer works at a basic level:

  • Installation Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in the new computer laptop with Windows 8, 64-bit

    Name of the product - HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 6 Driver

    Operating system: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64-bit

    Error message: cannot find the series 1200 on the network. To locate manually click ok...

    Changes Made - this is an installation on the new laptop, in Windows 8, 64-bit

    Description:

    1 installation of an existing network, consistedof a desk and two wireless laptops.

    2. the two portable computers have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above the named printer is accessed successfully for laptops.

    3 replaces one of cell phones with 8 64-bit Windows.

    4. the path of the 1200 series is: wireless printer to the router, router to the desktop via ethernet, from desktop to a printer via a cable.

    5. the configuration of the wireless printer is

    Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

    Port: \\Central\HPLaserj

    Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

    Driver: HPMCPM25. GPD 5.8.2008

    Problem

    Impossible to re-create this path with Windows 8, 64-bit configuration.

    a. when I try to download a driver always end up with a file called UPD-pcl6 - x 64 - 5.6.0.14430

    This seems to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, can successfully decompress the file and create a folder

    b. during installation, I can see the desktop ICON printer (name: \\central\HPLaserj); So far so good

    c. process is unable to locate a driver and ordered to locate manually.

    d. accessing the HP Universal Driver files fails because a driver is not found.

    e. caraa attempt enter fails because you can't enter address above (\\central\HPlaserj). Cannot enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.

    f. when the installation showed a list of drivers, the only one that I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought, I tried to download the original.

    This set up has worked successfully to Windows 7 64 bit. It seems that I need help much more expertise to guide me through this whole upward.

    Problem solved.

  • connection problems the new computer mobile printer

    Hi ive boaght a new laptop and im trying to connect my wireless printer but its request for a security key he never asked me for 1 on my old laptop

    Printer model number?  She asked the security key is your routers password SSID for a wireless connection.  This information is in your router that only you have access to.  Under the wireless tab, you should find your SSID, and then the password.  Consult the manual of your itinerary.

  • OfficeJet 6600 e-all-in-one: Wireless connectivity with the new router problem

    We had the printer since 12 months, workin with no problems.

    Just got a new modem/router (NETGEAR V7610) installed as part of the NBN implementation and I can't get the printer to connect to the new router. 5 and 2.4 G active networks. The two defined newtorks on security WPA2-PSK [AES].

    The printer detects the wireless (2. 4 g) network, but can't coplete the connection. Tried the two direct input the network key and using WMA.

    -The display panel shows "wireless invalid password (WPA) is entered.

    -The results of network printer test page indicates a FAILURE on safety.

    I was able to connect to multiple other devices (laptop, iphone, Kindle...) without any problem. Used the two direct entry of the key network and WMA.

    Anything else I can try?

    Find a new update of the firmware for the printer (May 9, 2016).

    After you apply the update, the printer is able to connect to the new modem.

  • Problem connecting to the new router

    When we all first our WVC54GC Setup was quick and easy, and we used it without event for 1-2 years. Now, we have replaced our old router with a WRT610N. Everything else, wired and wireless, connected to the new network without event after I have updated their SSID settings and security. (A new uses WPA - WP2, the an old WEP) but for this camera I can not to do. I read the articles on this page and plugged all the correct settings, but it still won't talk of it in wireless mode. (With a cable that is no problem). What I'm missing here?

    You must be identical on both devices wireless settings to establish communication between your router and the camera... Ensure that your camera settings Wireless 2.4 GHz of your router... Try Basic WEP security and see if that works, if WEP works you can change security to WPA... Once you have set matching the wireless settings, unplug the cable ethernet and power cycle the two devices and see if you can see your wireless camera...

  • WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium. It works continuously with a cycle detection, connection, loss of connection; detection, connection, loss of connection, etc... The router works through this cycle, basically acting as if I disconnected and then reconnected to the power to reset, it disrupts my Internet connection to my Wired iMac and wireless, another office to the floor. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access, he put up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After finishing, the problem still exists. When I told him that the problem had not been corrected, he said just wait an hour or two and it should work itself. She, of course, did not himself. Any ideas out there?

    Nevermind - I seem to have solved the problem with a simple firmware. Funny how the Linksys technician support don't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try to upgrade firmware first. However, he is quite good at trying to upsell me for a new router instead of trying to help me solve the problem I had. It makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thanks a lot!

  • My PC (Windows 7), will automatically connect to the new networks unknown wireless is in the range. I want to stop it.

    I found a variety of positions that describe how to disable the "connect automatically" option for a specific network you connected to in the past (via 'manage wireless networks), for example:

    They do not resolve my problem because my computer connects automatically on * new, unknown * networks that I've never connected to the front (and also, even after it connects to these networks, they do not appear in the list under 'Manage wireless networks').
    Apparently, it set to the default behavior to automatically connect to the new network he meets, and I need that to turn off. Thank you.

    Try to go to ftp.yourdomainname.com and see if you by entering your username and password allows through a browser.

    If it isn't, your host has really messed up something.

    Or I guess if the change happened fairly recently, DNS cannot have been activated yet and you could always essentially try to log the old servers.

  • Added the new computer but lost all favorite settings on old. I need new account keep different settings on both?

    My laptop (i5, running Win 7) is my workhorse computer that had all my favorite settings stored. I added a new office (AMD, Win 8.1) that will be used as a multimedia entertainment unit, but when I connected the cable to install FireFox it replaced all the settings in my laptop with the new computer. How can I keep the different settings on each computer? Must have 2 different accounts to be able to do this? I have now lost the web address for some of my sites, so it's quite painful. The "recently marked with a bookmark" folder is the main problem, because it is where I was monitoring my sites.
    Computer LAPTOP is Acer Aspire i5 & Win 7 runs the modules listed below.
    DESKTOP is a Medion with an AMD 3.8 GHz Turbo & Win 8.1, with the new version of the FF browser.

  • Cleanup of old files of e-mail after the importation of the accounts in the new computer.

    I have a new MacPro with El Capitan.  In the implementation of the new computer, I installed my email accounts, one in particular (a gmail account) had 7 GB of files.  I went into the settings Gmail and disabled Protocol IMAP AllMail, Archive, and several others that I didn't need on the Mac Mail.  It seems that there is a residue of all these emails stored on computer and I would like to remove them because they consume a lot of space on the hard disk.    Y at - it a particular cache that can be cleaned?  A special way to remove hidden files?

    You must remove the Gmail account in Mail in Preferences > accounts. This will bring you to system preferences > Internet accounts. Uncheck the Gmail box in system preferences.

    It seems to remove all the data, but it's actually still in the Mail. Go to the library (see below) Mail to the user folder. In v3, you will see several folders named like that.

    Check in the files with the alphanumeric naming. You should be able to identify what your Gmail account. If you have only one account other file would be for messages "on my Mac" premises. Delete the folder with your Gmail data.

    Then in email given, delete files that the envelope in the name.

    Sign out under the Apple in the menu bar.

    Connect and empty the trash.

    In system preferences > Internet accounts, check the Mail to your Gmail account. When you open Mail it will reindex messages that have not been deleted, then your Gmail messages will download from the server according to the ones you marked for synchronization.

    Note: You may find that the Mail does not well with the unsynchronized all mail folder.

  • Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

    photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

    If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

    Thanks again

    ===========================================
    Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
    originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
    to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
    folder on the new system.

    Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
    exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
    the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
    the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
    ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

    Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
    rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
    do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
    and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
    must be as it was before the change.

    Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
    Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

    The path to the version of Win XP is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
    Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
    Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

    Windows Vista:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    Windows 7:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

    (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
    do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

    The former article is a user experience
    with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:
