When I run the diagnostic troubleshooting Microsoft online he recognizes the HP4L, shows my problem is just a document qued up in spool it printing, solves the problem, but not so much.

  I saw other post of problems with windows7, print USB and the HP4L connection - if anyone can help me with this frustrating problem, I would be very grateful.

  stop the print spooler service restart the computer and start the Printer Spooler service. This is to fix it.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Hope these helps.

• Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 4 Plus

  I have a new laptop with windows 7 and a printer LaserJet 4 Plus old (but very reliable).  I managed to download drivers from the HP site, but it still won't print.  I get no error messages, just nothing happens when I try to print a document or test page.  I have to change something in my settings?

  There are three areas major problems installing a Laserjet 4 in Windows 7:

  • Ports.  The Laserjet 4 and its derivatives have a standard parallel port, but most of the Windows 7 machines no longer have a parallel port.  The most common solution is a USB-parallel conversion cable.  This can be problematic, because many of the converter cables do not support Windows 7.  [Edit - here marked positions have the models of cable converter in the forum users has reported as working in Windows 7]. In addition, most cables have no documentation (or even a brand name) makes it difficult to solve problems.  The converter can provide a parallel port simulated as LPT3: or it may be a port USB001.:  Another option with the Laserjet 4 would be adding a JetDirect card that would provide a network for the Laserjet 4 port.  This will require the Laserjet connected to a router and would provide access network on multiple computers if you wish.  A typical JetDirect card for the Laserjet 4 is shown here.
  • Drivers.  The Laserjet 4 drivers (and 4 M and other derivatives) are sent through Windows Update.  If Windows Update is enabled (as described in the method of step 2 here in the section "configure Windows Update for"...) you may be able to simply plug in the USB cable and install the driver correctly.  If not do the following: click on start Orb, devices and printers, add printer, and then select the appropriate port.  When the list of printers, click Windows Update.  It will take several minutes for the list to repopulate, when it is finished the Laserjet 4 series printer won't be available under HP (Hewlett-Packard).
  

• Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 5 p - old printer printer does not work with this new computer

  Just bought new PC and it has Windows 7.  Old HP LaserJet 5 p printer has always worked with last PC (XP).  This printer uses the parallel so purchased and plugged port with a parallel to USB printer cable.  Thought everything was cool when it seemed that the printer was recognized as "new device" but would not print my Word document.  Review of the Panel's PC recognized some other strange printer, so it has been deleted and I used the troubleshooter to find and download the old printer driver.  PC now shows the correct printer but my documents still won't print.  What can / should I do for these 2 working together?  Don't want to have to buy a new printer just to get something that works with 7.

  I was too frustrated. Finally, I solved the problem. I bought a parallel to USB cable head Gear. First attempts do not work. Unplug the printer from the computer. That removing all printers (some I just created trying). Make sure that you do not have the test pages in the queue (cancel all), otherwise impossible to remove printer. Also update windows drivers (to add the printer section). Turn off the computer. Connect printer USB available on the computer again. Turn on computer. And. You DID!

• Windows RT and HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401w

  I'm trying to connect the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401w to my Surface tablet running Windows RT.

  I tried to put in the IP, wireless sensor and using the USB cable.

  He is not with the IP or wireless detection.

  With the help of the key USB Cable it things is a CD Rom   If I add a printer and trying to choose manually the printer isn't on the list.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi SydsMom, welcome to the Forums of HP. If a product contains the necessary built in the RT drivers, he just needs to be plugged and RT Windows should recognize and install it.
  
  I did a search for "HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw Laser printer" with the: Windows Compatibility Centerand it's Windows RT 8.1 compatible.
  
  Microsoft provides these simple instructions: install a printer in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1
  
  In addition, I'm not familiar with that printer, as it is a business model supported. I suggest posting in the trade forums, to get more input. You can do this HERE.

• Windows 7 and Outlook 2007, Microsoft Word won't open

  Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 - Microsoft Word attachments are not open.  Word opens but not the file.  Excel works fine.  Sometimes just Word opens and says not responding do not.  If I erase the data word file in via regedit it solves the problem. Also, whenever I open Word I get the question if I want Word to make changes to my computer.  In addition, I can't open Word files by double-clicking.  I have to open Word first.

  Techie Microsoft asked me to change a setting of compatibility on the winword exe file and it fixed the problem immediately.

• Windows RT and HP PSC 1510 all-in-One printer connection

  Hi, I have a Windows 8.1 RT (Microsoft Surface 2) Tablet and HP PSC 1510 all-in-One printer cable. Now when I plug the printer via the USB port, there is no driver who finds himself to make this printer work with my camera. Does anyone have this problem or solutions? I tried to look at HP support and nothing there has been useful.

  Hello

  I'm afraid that the printer is not supported on Windows RT, as you can find listed in the following support document:

• Windows 8 and want to 4500 using Adobe Reader printing problems

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion (July 2013) with the dreaded Windows 8 and HP ENVY 4500 printer (November 2013). I will have questions, a booklet for printing Adobe Reader that displays only a few pages, and then the print job is canceled. I also noticed that a blue dialog box comes up saying an error has occurred and can not print, added to that, I now leave the printer in standby because another blue dialog box used to say that the printer is offline and I couldn't get it back in line without uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer. I have installed and uninstalled Adobe Reader X 1 and also the Adobe Reader X and I have also installed and uninstalled the printer about 6 times.

  The strange thing is that the same pdf file will appear as a brochure when I use my old Pavilion laptop (Circa 2009) which has Vista as the o/s.

  Anyone know how to solve the problem?

  Click on driver - product Installation software and download the drivers.

  You can try and set it to print a picture to see if it will work.

  Go to file, print, click on the Advanced button and select print as Image.

• LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro: Pro LaserJet MFP M177fw can't print in color

  I recently bought a new printer and decided to go for the color option. I am wanting to set up so it appears only in black because I only print in color occasionally! I've changed all the settings that I can see and put them in black and white, but always through a program called bistrack, which he still print in color! I've even increased the low threshold of are color cartridges and said to the printer to print in black when the threshold is reached... but still, it prints in color through a program.

  PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

  Hey @robertsinclair,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have problems with printing in black only from your printer Laserjet M177fw range when you use Bistrack. The printer works properly black from other programs, the problem is with Bistrack. I suggest you contact their support solve your problem.

  Either way, I'll mention that the printer still uses a little color when printing in black as a base to give your impressions the sharp looking you would expect from a Laserjet. If the printer gives you a warning that you are very low on a color toner, replace it. This time will keep your bright impressions and will prevent the printer to get damaged.

  Please let me know if this resolves your problems or if you go to a resolution. If you do, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.
