colour laserjet 1600

[StudentSarah]

Hi, I dont know if anyone here can help but I do hope so.

I have gotten my old hp colour laserjet out and I am having a problem getting it to print. I have installed the correct drivers an managed to print a test page, but it wont print from my computer if I send a document. I get the notification that there is an error.

The printer itself has also changed its language to, I believe, Polish or Russian, which I cannot read.

If anyone has any tips which I could try I would be really grateful!

Thank you in advance.

You could try the below. Keep in mind windows 10 supports usb 3.0 and the printer has usb 2.0 and I do not know if the computer will accept 2.0. This is something you need to check. Of course if you can use network it would be better.

NVRAM initializer
NVRAM init will perform the following functions:
● Resets all customer-accessible menu settings via control panel and software back to the factory
default settings
● Resets the language to the value set at the factory
● Resets the default media size to cold reset media size
● Resets the symbol set to PC-8
Use the following procedure to execute an NVRAM-init.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the (Select) and (Cancel Job) buttons simultaneously.
3. Turn on the printer.
4. When you see the message Permanent storage init displays, release the (Select) and
(Cancel Job) buttons.
When the NVRAM init is complete, the printer will return to the Ready state.
