Windows 10: HP LASERJET 1320 CLP 5 PRINTER WONT CONNECT USING WINDOWS 10

Windows 10 driver for hp 1320 laserjet printer not working

had a hard time to make this work and this is why I am pasting the solution here in order for everybody to find the solution more quickly than I did (I lost around 2 hours on this).

We just installed the Laserjet 1320 USB on the newest Windows 64bit

but it was a big hassle and trial and error troubleshooting.

The key to the entire process is to click Remove Device on the

1320 that is not recognized in the Devices and Printers window

in Control Panel and unplug the actual printer from the computer.

Then you Add Printer new and make a local Laserjet 1320 printer

where you select the HP Laserjet 1320 PCL5 driver in the devices list

and just set it to LPT1 local printer - making a non-working printer.

Do not plug the printer in yet. When you are successful the

non-working 1320 printer appears in the Devices and Printers

window with the correct printer graphic icon. Then keep the

Devices and Printers window open and plug in the Laserjet 1320

cable into a powered USB port on the computer tower - not into

a USB hub. Then Windows10 pnp somehow works properly, and

another instance of the printer finally shows up next to the

non-working printer. Then delete the non-working 1320 printer

out of the Devices and Printers screen.

HP Laserjet 1320 Printer -- ECONO Mode

Just an after thought,

The first thing I tried was to go through the Windows 10 Printer settings but I was not able to locate the HP 1320 printer in the list when I entered HP.

So I went directly to the HP support site.
