HP LaserJet 6P
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I need help to get HP LaserJet 6P working over network on Windows 10 (64bit). It is a great printer!

I looked on HP Web site …& cannot find any HP drivers for LaserJet 6P that will work on Windows 10 .

 

I tried HP Universal Print Drivers for Win 8.1 Ver 6.7.0.23989

But get Error message...KERNEL  Unsupported Protocol....when trying to set it up.

 

I tried Microsoft Driver Update for LaserJet 6P.

I tried a couple of those offered ...however...

They installed OK ...and I can print to printer …. but..

The printout document is corrupted...

I tried changing some of the Advanced Settings ...this made some improvement.....

But still printed document is corrupted in parts.....

 

This is a great printer... and I would like to know how to get it working on Windows 10.

Does anyone out there have an answer to this?

Thank you.

Office Boy

How are you connecting to the printer? USB or parallel or network? Support is likely spotty for this device but your best success would be to get a network to parallel adapter which will eliminate any conflicts with USB but based on age anything may be a challenge.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by marking my post as an accepted solution. Clicking "yes" on "was this reply helpful" also increases the chances that this solution will help others.

Hello Repairatrooper,
I am connecting to the printer via a TP-Link Single Parallel Port Fast Ethernet Print Server Model No TL-PS110P. I specify an IP for this Print Server on the ethernet.
Printer was working perfectly on Windows 7 with this setup. …and the printer faithfully printed out everything I saw on the screen.
It is only since I have loaded Windows 10 that I am having issues.
Thanks.
