Windows 10: I have an old HP1320 printer i use a workhorse for printing large B&W files Driver will not...

New Lenovo X1 Carbon Win 10- HP1320 printer off of USB port



I have downloaded appropriate 64 bit driver from HPs site. I have tried to install and uninstall 5 times now. Installation runs and computer says printer is set up but yet in printers tab it says driver is unavailable. So I go to device manager and try to update driver and get installing PCL 5 driver which is correct and the one found online and the system comes back with "windows found drivers for your device but encountered and error while attempting to install them".


I've tried to set up multiple ways, traditional mode and USB plug and play same result.


Thanks for assistance

:)

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

 

Printer prints in color even when I select B&W

Hi Killian,

One of the possible reasons why the printer is printing in color even though it was set to black and white is due to an incorrect printer configuration.
To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to ask the following questions:

• What is the make and model of your printer?
• Have you made any recent changes before you encountered this issue?
• What is the build and version of Windows are you using? To check the version of your Windows, type
  winver in the Search box and send us a screenshot of the information window.
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

We look forward to your response.
