Printing to HP LaserJet 1300
You've obtained the Vista drivers & installed as per hp instructions, which
usually means installing software/drivers prior to connecting the printer? http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...ies Id=238320 "2120smak" wrote in message ... There seems to be no way to make my Sony Vaio with Vista print to my HP LaserJet 1300 - any suggestions on how to make this work? |

No - I did not - I was not aware of this. My previous private pc and the Dell
from work both picked up the printer without any interference from my side - and the Vaio picked up my Deskjet F380 also without any preparations or assistance from my side. But I'm willing to try your suggestion - I'll let you know if it works.

No luck - same reaction from the pc, i.e. nothing.
When selecting add a printer I get a choice between "only use this if you do not have have a usb-printer - windows installs usb-printers automatically when connected" and "add a network printer, a wireless printer or a bluetooth printer...."

There seems to be no way to make my Sony Vaio with Vista print to my HP LaserJet 1300 - any suggestions on how to make this work? Are you sure that the LJ1300's USB port is working? Vista does have a built-in driver for the LJ1300. The problem is getting the special HP DOT4 port. Just ignore the warning in the Add A Printer Wizard to "only use this if you do not have have a usb-printer." I'm not sure what besides HP's printer status monitor will *not* work without the DOT4 port, but it's worth a try. Alternatively, you could try HP's "Universal Print Driver" for Vista (although it looks like a big mess to me): http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...&lang=en&cc=us Be sure choose the correct one (Vista or Vista 64-bit) and read the install instructions. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |
