Hp laserjet 1100 driver update windows#
When you have so many USB connected ports build by Windows it's a pain for trying to find which one is the right one to use. I have only 4 USB connected ports here (Win7 圆4) - usb001 003 004 006 and my another XP x32 has about more than 100 USB connected ports because that's my job to test and fix printers. (still Chinese edition) (Win7 圆4 - same as Win10 圆4 when using)

Here are my two drivers of HP 1100 and yes they are both use the same connected port USB004. That's why you need to change from port USB001 to 002 003. In such case (already plugged into Win10 but not the first time) you need to find it out which port was given to. What i said all the steps to plug parallel to USB cable into Win10 means only the very begging when you use it, once you have done that before (plug the cable into Win10) then Win10 has already known it and will not give it second change to assign it another USB port. It appears to me that there is no way to software-connect any hardware device to USP2.0-Print. Likely I need to go back to the Command line and clear the spooler again. When I repeated the hookup sequence, a 2nd USB2.0-Print device appeared. When I tried deleting it again, it seemed to lock up. As soon as I plug in the USB connector, that Unspecified/USB2.0-Print device shows back again. I have been using Port USB001 previously, as that seems to create no conflicts with my other two USB printers.Īnyway, I tried your sequence of connecting things from the LaserJet 1100 back to the computer. I cannot find a way to attach HP LaserJet 3050 PCL5 to it - unless perhaps it is a Port listed that I don't understand.
Under Hardware/Devices and Printers, I noted not only a Devices and a Printers folder, but also an "Unspecified" folder containing a single item, "USB2.0-Print", which when I drill into it, says no printer attached. Not matter what edition Win10 圆4 you are using the steps are the same.įirst I deleted the existing printer HP LaserJet 3050 PCL5 - and also an enigmatic item that appeared back at the beginning of my problem: What you see in the pictures surely not the same as yours because the Win10 圆4 which i was using is Chinese edition. It'll work too only if the parallel to USB cable is good not bad. But you can skip the ones have been used by other printers. If you connect the parallel to USB cable to Win10 first then you have to try to change the connected port in Win10 printer property from USB001 to 00x if you have more than ones.

The exactly steps to install a parallel to USB cable to Win10 should be that power on HP 1100 -> connect to parallel cable -> connect to parallel to USB cable -> the last step is the most important is that plugging USB to Win10 -> Last step Just want to prove it to you i took one of my HP LaserJet 1100s and connect it to Win10 圆4 with a parallel to USB cable.Īnd as i plugged the USB into Win10 圆4 within few seconds Win10 圆4 installed HP 1100's driver all by itself and i did nothing. I am willing to hear more, but am also prepared to give it up.

If only someone out there would confirm that he or she has gotten their HP LaserJet 1100 working under Windows 10 (64 bit), then I might have something to go on.īased on what I have learned so far, this seems very unlikely to work at all.

The lecturer opened with the statement, "Software is hard, and hardware is soft." His meaning was that software is where all the complexity is in computerized systems. I remember well a lecture that I attended about 25 years ago introducing the subject of Open Systems Architecture. Now I realize that the parallel/USB cable could be the fault, but this is a low probability failure mode. When I look at Printer Properties/Ports I note that USB001 has been assigned, and that USB001/HP LaserJet 3050 PCL5 appears in the Ports list TWICE! This is precisely what "HP Universal Printer PCL6" was doing when it had hung the print spooler. Sending a Print Test Page does not print anything, nor does it cause an error message.
Then I reinstalled the printer "HP LaserJet 3050 PCL5". After this, my other printers began to work. That I could remove all experimental printers and print drivers. It wasn't until I came across this in an internet search: The "hung" spooler was also causing lights to flash on my HP Deskjet D4360. I had tried installing and using so many print drivers that I had "hung" the print spooler - Windows prevented me from deleting printer "HP Universal Printer PCL6" and its driver.
