Joined Nov 18, Messages 1, FWIW, my Samsung laser installed flawlessly. From my experience lasers are not as picky as All in One printers or inkjets. I know HP Lasers are not very particular about what drivers you use. Hell, you could you HP Laser Jet 4 driver for just about any HP laser out there except color and even then it some times works.

Joined Jun 16, Messages The installer is flaky and crashes the print spooler service but after a restart I verified the built-in print and scan features in Devices and Printers work properly. Joined Feb 21, Messages 2, I'm using a HP laser, it worked as soon as my W7 install was done. Hell, everything has worked perfectly for me, I haven't manually installed any drivers nor have I got the old installing new drivers screen.

If you load the 32bit print driver onto the 64bit machine you will need the Windows 7 32bit driver. You can do this if you have a Windows 7 32bit machine on the network to push the drivers up to the machine sharing the printer.
The key to print sharing success between machines running different architecture processors is driver name matching. I have a laptop running Windows 7 bit machine that I want to print from. The laptop is wireless on a home network. The desktop is wireless as well and is running Windows XP.
The desktop has a Canon Pixma iP printer hooked up with a parallel cable. I have installed the latest XP drivers for the printer on the desktop.
The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a USB cable and the drivers will download automatically and it will print fine. However, I cannot connect this printer using the wireless system. I can go on the laptop to the Home network and navigate to the printer and try to install. It does an automatic search and says it cannot find the proper drivers.
I can Browse to the install file on my desktop, but it is an. Drivers that aren't WHQL signed are also known as unsigned drivers.
Drivers that are WHQL signed are also known as signed drivers. Search any one of the following locations for a non-WHQL signed driver for your printer:. The printer emulation type and the physical features of the printer are important printer property values. The physical features of the printer are things such as duplex mode and the number of paper trays.
Printer emulation is the most important of these two printer property values. Printer emulation describes the type of encoding that Windows uses to transmit the page data to the printer. Printer emulations are sometimes referred to as printing languages.
A computer that's running a bit version of Windows must transmit the page data in a language or emulation that the printer understands. If the computer that's running a bit version of Windows doesn't use the correct emulation, print jobs aren't decipherable.
There are many other common languages on printers in the East Asian marketplace, because some East Asian regions require more complex fonts. Modern inkjet printers may not use a common set of printer languages, because precise ink control is typically a compatibility issue. Some printer manufacturers may interpret different printer emulations in different ways. If you use a printer driver from the same printer manufacturer that supports your printer emulation, you can possibly prevent some compatibility problems.
For example, if your printer supports PostScript level 3 as its default printer emulation, look up the list of printer drivers that are supplied with the bit version of Windows. You can do it to find another printer from the same printer manufacturer that uses the same printer emulation. Here are the steps. When you use the following method, the print job is printed locally and the print job is then redirected to the network path.
If you use this procedure, you don't receive printer updates from the print server when you update the printer driver on the print server. On the computer that's running a bit version of Windows, check if the correct printer drivers are located.
You can also visit the Windows Update Web site or the printer manufacturer's Web site. If you can't find the correct driver, continue to the next step. Sign in to the computer that's running a bit version of Windows by using an account that has administrative permissions.
On the physical printer, use the device menus to print a configuration page. The printed configuration page typically lists the supported printer emulations. Select Local printer , clear the Automatically detect and install check box, and then select Next. In the Port Name dialog box, type the path of the printer by using the following syntax:. In the Install Printer Software page, select the correct manufacturer under the Manufacturer column. Then select the name of a printer that supports the same printer emulation as your printer.
In Printers and Faxes, right-click the printer that you added, and then select Properties.
