Printer error: "Unsupported personality: PCL.
I'm running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS M1530. I have an HP Laserjet 1012. I installed the driver for the lj 1015 and it worked for awhile, but when I try to print something, anything out of print now is the message: "Unsupported personality: PCL.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I seem to remember (but did not attempt to verify) that:
- The LaserJet 1012 is a host-based printer, which means that he doesn't understand or support for, the traditional Language of Description of Page (PCL5, PCL6, PostScript).
- LaserJet 1015 does PCL5support, as well as the Protocol host-based; Therefore, at least one of the pilots may very well be an a PCL5.
- The LaserJet 1012 probably has a rudimentary ability to treat a small amount of text, gross, and maybe some PCL5 simple sequences, in order to provide a diagnosis / capacity report, but this will work only until the page of the printer buffer is full.
- Turn off the printer and then again clear the buffer of the page, then it will again appear to understand some non - GDI entry until the buffer is full again.

Hello
HP will not develop a Windows 10 driver for this printer. The best option is to buy a new printer or get a laptop computer with the operating system prior to Windows 7 because this error occurred on Windows 7 computers due to inadequate software support driver for the printer. Perhaps a simple shooting turn also works as described in the link.

Error HP M1536 PCL XL or reverse PDF document
Hello
We're going to get in trouble with a printer all-in-one m1536dnf one of our customers recently acquired. The printer itself is connected to the network via an ethernet cable and computers that are like him either by cable or wireless. They are all using Windows Vista or Windows 7.
They seem all print correctly, with the exception of a few PDF documents from some of their clients. These documents do not print either and we get a print to a PCL XL error (when you try to print from Adobe Reader) or print, but with black background and white text (Foxit Reader).
The PCL XL error is:
PCL XL Error Subsystem: KERNEL Error: ExtraData File Name: kerlib.c Line Number: 9024
We already tried things:
-update of Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader
-updated printer driver (unfortunately there is only one version available: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3974... )
-update the firmware of the printer
-Reinstall
-installation via USB or printer sharing
-given a page ( http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00064499 ) describing our problem, but couldn't find a way to move to a PCL 5 driver
-using the generic driver is found here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=4157320&...
-installed on a PC with Windows XP
It appeared at one point that a solution was to change the printing resolution of 600 to FastRes 1200 (both with active EconoMode). However, after doing this another document presented with the same problem. It may not seem like a serious question to some, but with a bunch of users who have only basic knowledge on the use of computers, questions like that can turn large problems.
We also have little information on PDF documents and their source, but as far as I could understand at least most of them is generated by scanning from other multifunction printers.
We also bring the printer to our supplier and explain the problem. We could also demonstrate with a PDF file but could not leave the file with them due to privacy issues. They tried to print with the generic driver but no joy as the matter kept showing. If we send it to the guarantee that they will most likely print a certain number of documents and to say, it works well (I'd do the same in their position ), that's why I was wondering if people here have the same problem with this printer or have ideas on how to solve it.
Thank you in advance,
Eugen Sechel.
Hello
Sorry to answer so late. We solved the problem by installing the HP Universal print driver PCL5 version you can find here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=4157320&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=503548&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4062 .
This seems to work around the problem and also allow us to use the features of the printer.
I guess the test that the guys at the service was incorrect, that it seems to work for us.
Sandy_Sanz, I don't know whether we also tried on one of the computers. If I manage to test it some time, I will do my best to come back with more information. Thank you and I would mark your post as solution as well if I could .

We bought this new printer to Costco for more than a year. He began to send me general error message just now. I have replacement cartridges in it (not factory HP) and they are full and not leaking. For some reason it won't print with them. I bought also a CISS system for it earlier and he gets the 'General error' message with him as well.
I tried to reset and sometimes it works, it would reset (pull cable from the printer while the printer is turned on) it would show that the cartridges are full and he puts himself in 'cleaning up' and all of a sudden it gives me "General printer error" without specific code.
I removed all the cartridges, and then I tried the following:I would setup Magenta cartridge and it would show me the rest of the cartridges are missing
I'd install the Cyan cartridge, and it shows the rest of cartridges are missing
I'd install black cartridge and it shows the rest of cartridges are missing
If I install the yellow cartridge, it goes into "the General printer error.
I wonder if it's a general malfunction with head of printing or something else?
I called HP customer service, but they were less than helpful. Basically told me to reset it (by pulling on the cord) and see if it works, has not. HP person then proceeds to tell me how their printers are and asked me if I wanted to buy one! I was very anxious at this moment there, I spent several hundred dollars on this printer and I just want to make it work. Its a great printer - when it works.
So I wanted to just update. I didn't need printer for awhile until the end of last week and I decided to tinker with it even more.
I researched still more and saw a video of someone rinse a print head in warm water under a sink. I decided to do as a last resort. After I rinsed, I dry real and reinstalled. I reinstalled cartridges installation and the test page printed printer. Ive printed several pages again later. I changed cartridges of the CISS system installation and printed a few pages to test and it works fine! Looks like it might have been just blocked and had to be rinsed.
Printer works again and I hope to keep working for a long time. I was considering using it as a target shooting, perhaps at a later time, then

I use Adobe InDesign CC 2015 on Windows 7 and a book with several chapters, each chapter being a separate document. Several attempts to export the book to Adobe PDF failed with the following statement:
"Printing error: Adobe Print Engine failed at the end of your data due to an unknown problem."
When I run the command 'Package book for print', it shows that there are some fonts and missing images. However, as far as I know, I replaced all the missing fonts and I'm unable to see all missing fonts or images on the computer screen. Person documents in the book export to Adobe PDF with no problems, but the book does not print as a whole, affecting the table of contents and the page numbering (e.g. Roman in the front-end vs Hindu-Arabic in the rest of the book). I'm frustrated because InDesign doesn't tell me what the problem is. I'd appreciate any help in this regard.
No, I wasn't trying to PRINT to PDF. I tried to export the book in PDF format in following file > export... and then click on PDF for output. That did not work. However, I just realized that I can export the book by clicking on the small arrow in the upper right corner of the menu that shows all the documents in my book (I don't know how it's called). From there on, I chose "export book to PDF...". "and voila! It worked.

HP Officejet 4630 series: printing error
Hello
My printer was fine until 'Windows10 update 1607' has been downloaded on my desk a few days ago. Now every time I try to print anything for my computer. Status reports "error-printing". I ran the trouble shooter print a test page, I printed a report of diagnosis of HP print and Scan doctor. Everything seems fine, but it always brings a printing error. So now I'm re-printing a document, it now says "printing" on the device, but it feels very, very slow, 10 minutes and it's still printing the first page. What can I do to fix this?
Your help in this matter is much appreciated!
Welcome to the community @BeeAnn HP
I saw your post on the slow printing problem and wanted to do some of my own suggestions.
You can try the following:
1 reset the printer, then restart the computer. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
Turn on the printer.
With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.
If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
2 run printing scanning and Dr.
3 try to make copies to see if they are too slow. If they are, then it's showing us that there is a problem with the hardware with the printer.
4. Uninstall and reinstall the printer driver and software.
Let me know how make you out!

Photosmart HP 7520 e-all in one printer - printer error

Does anyone know this problem also?
I just bought this printer and installing the printer the printer software is also updated.
Thanks for your help
Thanks for all the help.
I returned the printer shop ro. They tested the printer and found no errors.
I talked to a technical guy in the shop and he told me that my wifi router was the problem. I had to download the utility "inssider". as utility showed me that the channel of my router was on was very busy. I changed the channel on my router to a different channel and everything is fine after that.
I hope I helped other people with this solution.
