My LJ 1300 is connected via USB to a Windows XP Pro box and shared over my network. I also detest the HP 'Universal Print Driver.' Even if the LJ 1300 has been discontinued, it isn't that old. I agree that HP has done a particularly poor job here.

It is time for hp to supply a specific driver for the Laserjet 1300 - not a universal, and not one that is backward-compatible for some models, but one specifically to address this long-known and widespread problem. So it doesn't really help, in a Discussion setting, to say 'Go to the hp page and download the PCL 5 driver' or, I did it myself and it worked just fine. Many of these individuals really know their way around hardware and software installation.

My point is that you have customers - owners of the popular laserjet 1300 model - who have reported all over the web that the drivers provided are not working. It is time for hp to supply a specific driver for the Laserjet 1300 - not a universal, and not one that is backward-compatible for some models, but one specifically to address this long-known and widespread wrote:

Windows doesn't provide a driver that matches the model, and HP claims there is a category 3 fix, but as I said, their options don't work. This is very time consuming, and it should be a seamless process for people upgrading to Windows 7. But the PCL 5 and PCL 6 don't work for the laserjet 1300.

I don't doubt that some respondents have gotten it to work - somehow, and the details are often left out. I have a HP Laserjet 1300 and the driversprovided do not work for it. I don't know if the driver that was automatically found is the same as the generic driver you're using, but it does not seem to be the 'Universal Print Driver.' The one I have seems to be hpLaserJet 1300 PCL 5 (61.53.25.9) based on the 'About' tab of Printer Properties.

I then re-connected the LJ 1300 to my XP computer and changed the port on the Win 7 computer to point to the XP share. It downloaded and installed whatever it found and finally the LJ1300 was installed.

First it found the USB_DOT4 driver, then a PRN_DOT4 Driver, and finally - after several minutes - found a printer driver that it liked. Sure enough, Windows recognized the device and then started looking for drivers.

Which driver did you install? When I went through the normal process of looking for a driver for my LJ1300, I got to a page that said that HP didn't have a Win 7 ењ†4 driver (and there was no indication that any was coming), and offered instead the 'universal print driver.' I had tried that on Vista ењ†4 and found the install very confusing, so I wanted to avoid it if possible.Д«ased on another thread here, I connected my LJ1300 to my Win 7 ењ†4 computer with its USB cable with the Win 7 computer connected to the Internet.
