    HP Laserjet Printer update in Windows 10 ver 20H2


    I am facing problem in the installation of HP Laser Printer MFP Pro M29W model. The file has been downloaded but it shows"pending installation". The following is displayed when I want to check my Windows update:


    Windows 10 update: Error encountered: Hewett Packard Laser Printer M29W: Installation problem. error code: 0x800f020b.

    It displays Error encountered: Pending installation


    Following message is displayed on the windows update screen


    " A current driver on your PC may be better than the driver we are trying to install. We will keep trying to installation"

    The installation is not taking place of the update for this printer : Hewett Packard-USB 6/1/2018-12:00:00-46.2.2631.18152

    HP support team failed to resolve this issue and directed me to talk to technical support.

    It is rather irritating to to see this display every time when I want to check my windows update.


    Can someone advise me as how to solve . Mainly I do not want to see this display of:


    " A current driver on your PC may be better than the driver we are trying to install. We will keep trying to installation"


    Thank you


    DR

    Windows 10 Driver for HP LaserJet 4


    I tried this after doing a clean install of Windows 10. The list of printers that comes up does not include the Laserjet 4 plus which is the printer I am trying to connect via usb. How do I get that to come up?

    Windows 10 Driver for HP LaserJet 4


    for those who have a HP (Hewlett Packard) Laserjet 4 or Laserjet 5M I finally found how to connect up the computer to these great printers when OS is Windows 10. Follow step-by-step. This really works!! I love my old printer:

    Win 7 with Win 10, and as others have reported the drivers for my older printer did not load.
    Although it is a HP Laserjet 4 plus, that appars to be not so important, other than the fact that the original cable has been replaced with one with a USB connector for my more modern laptop.

    After struggling and Googling for far too much time, here is what worked very well.

    --press teh Windows icon in the lower left corner
    --select "settings"
    --select "devices"
    --select "add printers & scanners"
    --select "add a printer"
    -- it probably will scan and deliver a message like "printer ----- isn't listed"
    --click on that message
    --scroll down to "add a local printer"
    --accept "use existing port" then scroll down and select USB001(virtual port for USB)
    --it is possible that if you are using the original cable that the default LPT1 is the correct choice.
    --that will lead to the same list of printer drivers that you would have had with Win 7 (my understanding, or misunderstanding, is that when Win 10 loaded it retained the Win 7 printer drivers, but did not make them particularly accessible.
    --select your printer
    --print a test page
    --all done
    --you may need to make that your default printer

    HP Laserjet Printer update in Windows 10 ver 20H2

    Install HP LaserJet 4M Plus

    Printer is connected to router with EtherNet cable, was able to print test page which gives IP Address of: 10.0.0.81, and did find drivers but attempting to install with any of the LaserJet 4 drivers listed below, gives the error message, "Printer Driver was not installed".

    This printer has both Postscript and PCL personalities.

    Thumbnail sketch of what I did:

    Settings>Devices>Printers & Scanners>Add Printer and Scanner>[Clicked on the text, "the printer I want isn't listed"]>chose "Add a local printer" using existing port 10.0.0.81>did Windows Update and each of the following LaserJet drivers for this model of printer failed to install:

    HP LaserJet 4 Plus
    HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 300
    HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 600
    HP LaserJet 4/4M PS
    HP LaserJet 4/4M PS (300 dpi)


    the USB port mentioned in the 400 day old post on this topic was not a choice.

    rig is an i9 7900X running at 4.5GHz w/32 GB Ram with an Asus X299 MOBA.
