Laser Jet 4200 Windows 7 64bit parallel compatible?

[Iain123]

Hi Group

Any one successfully running 4200 on windows 7 64bit using a parallel port? Read further if you want no more detail.

I had not problem installing the driver 4200 PCL6 (from windows update), but when i print a test page a get the following problem

The 4200 prints a line of rubbish then spools to another sheet and once again prints a line of rubbish and continuous in this fashion

I have tried installing reinstalling and choosing other compatible drivers but also get above problem

I cannot confirm the parallel/LPT/PCI port is a worker (startech PCIPECP) on this PC as I have never used it before (successfully), but it has the most up to date driver which is supposed to be win7 64bit compatible. I tried to use the parallel port for a HP deskjet 520 but there is no official driver, so tried work arounds eg deskjet 500 driver but got a very similar problem if not exactly the same problem as on the "Compatible?" 4200.

Any one successfully running 4200 on windows 7 64bit using a parallel port?

Thanks

Iain

I am having a similar problem, I installed the PCL6 and am receiving a PCL XL error message more often than the printer printing the the correct data.

My error message is:
Subsystem: IMAGE

Error: MissingData

Operator: ReadImage

Position: 5021

The position number is different every time. Any suggestions?

Hello vytbcs

The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the HP Business Support forum for a better chance at finding a solution.

You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.
