• UPD PCL 6 and PCL XL 5 errors

  Hello

  So I recently had to change our UPD PCL 6 driver in our HP LaserJet Pro 400 UPD PCL 5 printer as it would not print a PDF without raising a PCL XL error, now the problem that I face is that the PCL 5 driver is originally very slow draws. A few minutes each print - y at - it a solution so that I can have a normal printing speed bypassing PCL XL errors?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Then in the end after several tests and trying to the source of the question - I found that printing of PDF as an image seems to work (in the printer Menu of Adobe Reader - advanced - print as image) but I can't ask my team to do whenever they print. So we tried to look at Adobe InDesign, because it is what allows us to create our brochures and we thought it is the melting of Oswald, who doesn't seem to work with the HP printers - printers do not like this policy. Something for HP and Adobe to work really - can not continue to change drawings of policies to respond to the printer. in any case, it seems to work.

• After update for HP UPD PCL 5 on the network drivers, local printers now very slow printing

  I've recently updated the HP Universal Print Driver PCL 5 on my Windows 2008 R2 file and print server.  All printers on network HP 5 now show the new driver of the UPD PCL 5, and 5 all seems to work fine from all clients on the attached network.

  However, as soon as I had updated the drivers from server, anyone with a printer connected locally HP began to test response times very slow when trying to print jobs to their local printer or even bring up the properties of the local printer.  I think that it is because local printers also use the HP UPD PCL5 driver, and something "broke" when I updated the driver on the server.   If the local printer is set as default, trying to make it appear a Properties dialog box takes several seconds (before it was instant), and clicking PRINT in any application results in a noticeable delay for the print dialog box to appear, followed by another notable delay (as in 10-20 seconds) before work is treated and control the application returned ot the user.  The printer takes then to another a few seconds to process work.  Essentially print jobs local just went from 5 seconds to 30 seconds or more for each task to start to print more.  This is unacceptable.

  I tried to remove all printers on network among the PC client, and then deleting the local printer as well.  I restarted, then used the install.exe HP UPD PCL 5 to start the installation on the local computer, choosing to do an installation of USB.  I turned on the printer local return and it has been recognized and loaded the new HP UPD PCL5 driver, but the problem persists.

  So after messing around with this more yesterday I think I narrowed down it to a port number.  It seems that when computers with local printers connected downloaded the new UPD PCL 5 form the network (updated their drivers for network printer), he reconfigured the USB port for each printer connected locally.  The USB port on the local printer will now appear as "DOT4 generic IEEE 1284.4 support printing", while before I'm pretty sure he showed as "DOT4 HP Laserjet one."   This white paper (which is unfortunately for Windows XP) appears to support the hypothesis that the port has changed and that the generic port is much slower (this is what we see now with local printers).  White paper on the issue of generic DOT4 port

  I tried to delete all printers that use the UPD from a local system and then using the install.exe form the UPD package to install the local printer as a USB printer (disconnection of the latter before installation and then in reconnecting it when you are prompted by Setup), still the same generic port is re-created.  How can I change the generic port to a specific port HP driver for printers normally respond again?

  Furthermore, I opened a ticket with the help of HP on the issue Monday afternoon, it is now Wednesday morning and the only response I received was a request to make sure that my cables were not more than 6' long.  Seriously HP support?

  My best guess is that you do not use the name of specific driver to the version on the print server.   Driver version-specific name will look like "HP Universal printing PCL6 (v5.9.0).   Non-specific to the version name will look like "HP Universal PCL6 print.

  When you work with print servers, it is recommended to use the name of the version-specifc driver.   I think what happened here are that the driver has been updated on the server, and this update was then pushed to clients through point and print because the pilots names.

  You have indicated that you are using the PCL5 driver.   In a general office print PCL6 offers the best combination of performance and print quality.   I recommend you go to PCL6 immediately, unless your devices or custom applications/solutions are not compatible with PCL6.  (This is very rare)

  If it were my system, here's what I'd do.

  1. Download UPD PCL6 5.9.0 and PARK of www.hp.com/go/upd
  2. Install the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 on my print server using the name specific to the version - create a temporary queue.
  3. Run AutoUpgradeUPD.exe from the PARK to remove queues existing impression on my print server and re-create them with the PCL6 driver.   (See http://youtu.be/mYCVx1RBp9w for more information on this utility)
  4. Remove the temporary queue
  5. On my clients, I would remove the existing printer USB connections.
  6. Run the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 installer and select the USB - Plug and Play mode and make sure that both check boxes are enabled.
  7. Re-connect local printers.

  Something else I could try to implement PRNCON of the PARK on each client.    It will be delete and re-create the connections to printer to the print server.    This can be run without command-line switches, but I like to use the '-2000 w' command to force a second 2 the delay between the removal of the printer connection and recreate.

  In a last time, I'll make sure to remove any old/unused drivers from the print server.

• Times New Roman 11 point shrunken feel justified with HP UPD PCL 5 results in characters

  Since the duty switch to the driver for HP (PCL 5) universal print several months ago, when we made the jump to Windows 7 (it seem not to be any specific device Windows 7 x 64 drivers for most HP printers) that we had a very specific problem with printing documents (especially from Word 2010).

  When we print a document that has the Times New Roman 11 point police, and that the document is fully justified, the output will of characters that are "crushed" together in different places on the pages.  For example, the 'l' and the 'e' in 'legally' in part of a page could be printed too close, almost on top of the other, while the same Word may appear later in the page and end.

  This strange behavior output is consistent when the document is printed several times with different HP printers (all using the UPD PCL 5).  In other words, the shriveled characters will appear in the same place on the same pages of any printer send us the task to (we have printers ranging from an old 4050N and a whole new m602) or how many times it is printed.

  Since one of our departments has literally thousands of legal documents that use Times New Roman 11 point fully justified, it's a pretty big deal.  For the moment, we have been print these documents to a photocopier to avoid the HP UPD question, but this isn't a permanent solution.  I need to know how to solve this problem for HP printers so we can print documents we have where we need.

  I should mention that I've already updated printer drivers network (Windows 2008 R2) to the last UPD PCL 5 (July 2014).

  I have some ideas on this issue.

  First of all, for more general printing Office such as from Word and other applications of MS Office, you will get the best combination of performance and print quality using the PCL6 driver.   Unless you have a legacy application that requires PCL5, I would recommend moving to PCL6.

  Second, when you moved to the HP UPD did you create new print queues or to update an existing queue by using the new driver option on the Advanced tab of the driver?    When you use the pilot 'new' option, Windows did his best to keep the old queue settings and put them on the new pilot.   This may cause missing, additional incorrect registry entries, corrupt or simply on the queue.      I always recommend to create new print queues when changing drivers.   If you have a large number of print queues that must be deleted and recreated, I suggest you try the AutoUpgradeUPD.exe utility from administrator print Resource Kit (PARK) at www.hp.com/go/upd.     For more information about this utility, see http://youtu.be/mYCVx1RBp9w

  Finally, some Microsoft Office applications save some driver with the file information.   I see this more often with Excel, but I guess that Word may depend on as well.   The problem is that the application passes data from the former driver for the new driver and it can create unexpected results.    To see if this is the case, open the print dialog box, and then click on printer properties to open the user interface for the driver.   It is enough to click OK to close the window and the driver information will be updated in the Word document.    Now, click on print and see if the output is improved.   If Word prompts you to save your changes when you close the document (and you make changes) that's a clue that the driver information has been updated in the .doc file.

• HP Laserjet Pro M402dn: Pcl 5 works or not in hp m402dn?

  I bought this printer because in descriptions of languages, includes the pcl 5.

  Do not work installation CD drivers. I'm looking for a UPD pcl 5, and I see that's not available pcl 5 for this impression in the UPD.

  What can I do?

  Although the site says the printer hp M402 does not support the universal PCL5 driver, I tried changing the driver, and this is the solution.

  Install a universal PCL5 driver supplied in Windows 7 and this is the solution. Thanks for your replies.

• Windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x0000007e

  Hello

  OS: Windows 7 x 86 SP1

  Print server: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x 86

  Printer: HP LaserJet 8150 printer shared and listed in the directory

  Problem:

  When I try to install the printer in the Add Printer Wizard, choose install a network printer, she finds a driver on the server, installs, then brings up an error (see topic).

  In the Print Service logs, I see the following:

  "The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module, 0x7e error code. See the user context information for event data.

  I can install the printer very well if I choose local printer, new port, TCP/IP, and enter the IP address. This isn't a solution, as users cannot be expected to go through this process, or for me to go around all the machines and do it manually. More I want than the print jobs to the print server's spool, and I think that the local installation method uses the local spooler.

  I tried to install the driver of HP UPD PCL 6, x 86 and x 64, on the print server.

  When I check what the client machine pilot chose to install by going to the properties of the print server, I can see that he chooses the former driver "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PCL 6". I presume that it is incompatible with Windows 7, that's why I am getting the error cannot connect.

  How can I get Windows 7 clients to use the UPD?

  I left our Windows 2003 print server to a Server 2008 and comes to install the HP UPD x 86 and x 64 for each printer. Now everything works perfectly! All XP and 7 customers can install printers network without problem.

  I suspect that the problem was due to have many different versions of drivers on the old print server, and customers did not know which to use?

• LaserJet 3020 AIO Printer One: print error

  Printer driver: Laserjet 3020 UPD PCL 6

  Hello

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I can certainly help you with this problem.

  You can check the following setting in the printer drivers.

  Go to the printer properties -> Printing Preferences->Advanced tab

  Under the option of features of the printer, click on "Graphics Mode" , you will see two options.

  "Send a graphic under Vector Optimize" or "graphic under frame"

  Note: B & w toggle this two parameter. Click OK to save

  Then the next option ' Send TrueType as Bitmap ' , you will then see to Activate and then click on apply and then click OK.

  Try to print and check.

  Other options: You can try to install HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript (64-bit)

  Hope this will help you

• Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251n: LJ Pro200 M251n not print not some font sizes

  My new printer does not print text to certain sizes of fonts using Word or Publisher 2010. Until 60pt, it's good, but not 72, 100, or 120. However, it will print 240 pt. It will also display these text elements of the pdf document.

  Is this a driver problem? I use PCL6 but cannot find any drivers on the HP site. Do I need UPD PCL 6?

  Hello

  Update the latest firmware for the printer, which should solve this.

  Use the next tool if it is connected with a USB key:

• HP LaserJet Pro M277dw: HP LaserJet Pro M277dw is not compatible with Vista 64 bit?

  Hello

  Please could someone HP please tell me if the scan and printing on HP LaserJet Pro M277dw works on Windows Vista 64-bit? I'm tempted to buy it but was put off by reading threads like http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/HP-LaserjetPro-M277dw-printer-and-windows-vista-drive...

  I have even print or scan wireless I just want to be able to connect through my PC.  I appreciate the thread above is almost a year so wanted to check if HP had supported the question now that I don't want to upgrade my PC either.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The printer is not supported on Windows Vista 64 bit, it is only supported on Vista 32-bit, as indicated by the Requiremetns system below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Color-LaserJet-MFP-M277-series/7089945/model/7089949/document/c04515051/

  64-bit support is only available for the later versions of OS like 7, 8 or 10.

  You can only get the features of the printer using the HP Universal Print Driver for your printer, no alternative is avialable for the OS, which means no Fax or Scan feature is offered by HP for Windows Vista 64-bit.

  As a reference, you can see Page 8 of the following user guide:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04474163

  If necessary, you can download and install the HP UPD PCL 6 driver for printing to the printer features:

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL39348/LJ-95981-14/UPD-PCL6-x64-6.2.0.20412.exe

  Well that the analysis is not supported by the client for your operating system HP software, you can get limited scanning functionality using the features of digital as Scan to Email or scan to a network folder, such can be defined without the need of any software.

  Kind regards

• Resolve error: series 1200 Protocol not supported network home

  1 Laserjet 1200 HP

  3 Error Message: PCL XL error

  Subsystem - kernel

  Error - Protocol not supported

  Operator - 0x0

  Position - 0

  4. no changes to the network printer

  Have already installed a printing device to a laptop connected to a shared printer on the desktop computer.  Installed the HP Universal printing PCL 6 (v 5.6.0). Also have a printer all-in-one wireless inkjet that works successfully from the laptop.

  He worked successfully for about a month. Then suddenly would not print, but has continued to communicate with the printer via the office. Wireless printing still works fine.

  Print path

  Laptop to router to desktop for printer 1200

  Configuration of the laptop Port

  Port: \\DesktopName\hplaserj

  Port Description: Local

  Printer: HP Universal PCL 6 (v 5.6.0)

  To date:

  1. have you deleted device printing PCL 6 of the laptop, reinstalled.

  2. the footsteps of PCL 6 removed from the register; re-installed the printing device, deleted the old port and created a new port.

  3. just did print no, same error message.

  4 repeat step 2, but installed the universal HP PCL 6 driver. Same result and same error message.

  Can anyone suggest something else to try or point me in the right direction?

  Basically, Shlomi has proposed a solution that worked. Thank you.

  That's what I actually did.

  For Windows 7 and 8, HP has apparently developed universal print (UPD) for the old PCL 6 and PCL 5 drivers. Had already downloaded the 64 bit version of the UPD PCL 6. 64 bit versions re-downloaded and re-installed UPD PC5 and PCL 6. It wasn't the problem.

  Then I followed the suggestion to connect directly to the printer 1200 via the USB cable.

  1 first removed from the registry, references to PCL 6 and PCL 5 printers

  2. then restarted the print spooler (computer-> manage-> services)

  3. Add a printer in devices and printers, this time using the DOT4 port.

  4 bingo, could print a test page.

  5. from print properties, change the local port to \\computer name\hplaserj, the shared printer on the wireless network.

  7 bingo again. Has been able to print a test page and were able to print additional documents.

  Still don't understand what the problem was or what caused it suddenly appear, but it works now.

• Best practices for the design of a printing environment?

  Greetings,

  If there is a better place for this, please let me know.

  Objective:

  Redesign and redeploy my printing environment with best practices in mind.

  
  

  Overview: VMWare environment running 2008 R2, with about 200 printers. I have a majority of printers HP ranging from 10 years old again. LaserJet MFP, OfficeJets, etc... etc... In addition to the copiers Konica, Xerox and Savin. Many of our models of printer are not taken in charge in 2008, and still less x 64.

  Our future goals include services eprint, as well as the desire to manage the print quality, and levels of consumition by something like Web Jetadmin.

  Currently we have a 2003 Server x 86 server running our printers very old and 6 months ago the rest on a single x 64 server 2008r2. We ended up not giving it the attention to detail, it is necessary and pilots have become very congested, this led to a PCL6 only, UPD update that ended up corrupting several drivers through the UPD PCL 5 and 6 of the spectrum. At this time, we brought a second server 2008r2 and began to emigrate to those affected. In some cases, we were forced to remove manually the drivers off the customer system32-> coil-> driver and reinstall.

  I've not had much luck finding good best practice information and thought I'd ask. Some documents I came across suggested that I should isolate a universal driver to a single server, such as 3 servers for PCL5, PCL6, and Psalm then, there is the need to deal with my various copiers.

  I appreciate your advice, thank you!

• HP Officejet Pro L7650: PCL 6 driver for HP Officejet Pro L7650 printer all in one

  I have an old HP Officejet Pro L7650 all in one and due to new software that I use for my small business, I was told that I must download PCL6/drivers for my printer to work with the new software correctly. I searched and found the right driver online and downloaded, however, during installation to choose the machine and it lists just about everyone but the machines HP Officejet Pro L7650. I was wondering if anyone has an idea or knows a PCL 6 driver that will work for my particular all in one machine. Any help is appreciated. The driver I downloaded was the HP Universal print for 64-bit systems driver specifically (upd-pcl6 - x 64 - 6.0.0.18849). Thank you.

  According to the specifications of the charges (see http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c00839084 ) and in common with many (but not all) peripheral inket printers OfficeJet L7650 use the Language of Description of Page PCL3 Enhanced - they do not support PCL5 or PCL6.

• LaserJet p3015: print with the printer driver universal pcl 5 of Collator

  We use the universal PCL 5 driver for printing on a Windows 2008 R2 file and server to our printers laserjet printing network.  Our enterprise application doesn't have a way to bring together several pages together, so this will be done by the printer driver and settings.  However, I don't see an option to collect pages in the printer settings.  Is this possible with the PCL 5 UPD or it will need to be upgraded to achieve?

  As I mentioned in my previous answer, most small LaserJet printers will not print collate.

  They will just print a copy, or (as your symptoms seem to suggest) just ignore the Collate setting.

  This is because the true ranking of multiple copy requires the use of Mopier Mode, which in turn requires the availability of a hard disk of the printer - printers in most small do not have a mounted hard drive.

  To get the same effect as the standings, drivers for these printers will send multiple copies of the print job in the same connection.

  But they do if the driver configuration indicates that Mopier Mode is activated, so you must ensure that the configuration shows that it is disabled.
