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.
