Hi:

 

You can get the driver you need from the link below.  The first driver listed is for W10 32 bit.

 

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Laserjet%206L

 

Here is how you need to install it...

 

1. Download and install this free file utility.  The first link at the top of the page is for 32 bit.

 

http://www.7-zip.org/

 

2.  After you install 7-Zip, download and save the Laserjet 6L driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog link I posted above...1st driver.

 

3.  After you download the printer driver file, right click on it and select 7-Zip from the list of items on the menu.

 

Have 7-Zip Extract to:  and let it extract the file into its long folder name.

 

4. Use your add printer wizard to manually install the printer.

 

When you get to the part where you need to install the driver, click on Have Disk, and browse to the printer driver folder 7-Zip created>prnhp001 setup information file, select the HP LaserJet 6L printer from the list, and the driver should install.

Thank you.  I have another issue.  When printing multi pages go through the printer at the same time.  How resolve so one page at a time goes through the printer and is printed?

You're very welcome.

 

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you with that problem.

 

I suggest you start a new post.

Hello!

 

I had the same problem and the solution is harsware change inside the printer. You need to buy some parts as the ones shown on:

You need to replace all of those! Good luck! I did it with full success!
