HP 9010 Pro Printer Install
Purchased a week ago.
Been on phone with HP for hours to get this printer working on my home network. About ready to ship it back as defective. I won't go into the problems I have with it because it is not relevant to my current needs. I need to have this print from a WiFi connected Laptop running Win XP Pro. I have another B/W printer (Samsung) WiFi connected just fine. Samsung printers are absorbed by HP so no more Samsung printers. Seems no specific driver available for HP 9010 Pro on Win XP Pro 32bit. Google says use a universal HP driver can be used but I cannot find one for Win XP Pro 32bit. HP tech says he fixed the printers IP address to 192.168.1.159 Suggestions please. |

Ah well, try downloading it from here, right after where it says "HP Print and Scan Doctor Download for Win7/Win8/Win8.1/Vista/XP/Windows 10 (Update : May 22, 2019)" https://www.hpdrivers.net/hp-print-scan-doctor/ Ed |

Google for: "WiFi-Enabled Printer Using Raspberry Pi 3 and USB-printer" laptop ---/\/\ Wifi /\/\__ Edimax 802.11 Wifi ------ RPi 4 ------ USB printer connection | +5V power The advantage of the RPi 4 is it has more USB ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6PWYZScZk ******* The thing is, the HP software is laying in wait for you. You'll download some EXE from their site, and up will pop "your OS not supported by this here driver package". Even though it's quite likely it would have worked otherwise. This is about as close as I expect I'll get, and it's just not good enough. https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softw..._49.6.4502.exe Paul |

HP 9010 Pro Printer Install
Supposedly HP has some Universal Drivers that would work. Probably not
provide all the feature but would at least print. An idea where to find the so called universal drivers for Win XP Pro 32 bit ? |

The older projects at HP aren't likely to have metadata for the HP 9010 onboard. Go through the Repository and see if any will work. I don't see a reason they would. WinXP was supported up to the year 2014 or so. ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/UPD/ ******* When the print driver is PostScript, the metadata in that case is a PPD file. And I've successfully used old PPD files with newer printing software, to "make something" that works OK for my purposes. I took the 755CM or the 750 file from their real PostScript driver and moved the PPD forward to work with the Universal PostScript Driver. I don't know if PCL5/PCL6 makes that possible too or not. HPLIPS/CUP for Linux is another way to print. You could set up a Linux virtual machine and try that way. Purely silly of course. But we can't leave any stone unturned. When you bought the machine, the specification page right at the bottom, said which OSes are not supported. And when they list info like that, they're serious about it. It means they'll break on purpose, potential support for older platforms. It probably would have worked if they hadn't messed with it. The thing is, as hardware and computing systems mature, more of the hardware adheres to various standards, making it possible to do drivers "for peanuts cost". It's because the complexity is driven down to the hardware team. The printer definitely has its own CPU. And, it's own internal code. Some printers even accept PDF files as an input and print those for you directly. No print driver to get in the way. No, I don't know the name of that method/subsystem. but I was reading somewhere, that it's a new thing. That's sorta to keep in line with the scanning part of the AIO, scanning to PDF. It makes PDF a "unit of exchange" where it exists. ******* I suggested building a separate print spooler unit, to connect to the USB port on the printer, with a Edimax Wifi module on it so you could Wifi print. And that would be something implemented using the HPLIPS/CUP model. The print serving box (an RPi4), would serve files to the machine through a USB cable. The RPi family have similar prices, with the lower models consuming a bit less power in operation. But that's only if you at some point realize that there's no HP driver. If you can figure out how to get metadata for the HP9010 into an older UPD, then you're laughing. There's no way I can test this here, as I have no HP printers, nothing remotely close to "develop against". This assumes the UPD driver is using PCL5 or PCL6 (instead of the PostScript the Postscript Universal Driver uses). The processor inside your printer, reads the incoming PCL5 operators and makes a pixmap to be printed on the paper. It's why your printer has 512MB of internal RAM. It's a tiny computer center in there. Believe it or not, the purchasing process for printers is *not easy*. That's why we have IT guys to read all those web pages and realize most of the products are never going to meet all the requirements. You don't pick the printer based on "paint color". A printer purchase should never be an "impulse buy" or "it was on sale this week". Those are bad signs. Suitable for direct one computer - one printer, usage model. If you want to share a printer, the complexity instantly goes way way up. Paul |

HP 9010 Pro Printer Install
On my LAN I have a Win 7 PC that has the HP pro 9010 printer installed
and running connected via cat5 and USB. HP does not allow both wifi and Ethernet at the same time. From another laptop, a Win 7 Pro, I see printer and can print. So why is there no way to pass a print job from my Win XP Pro laptop to one of those PCs connected to the printer to do the printing (other than using teamviewer or some such ? |

Share the printer on one of the Win 7 PCs. Then you can print to it over the network from the Win XP laptop. |

The printer is available over wireless unless the wireless net is segregated from the wired net. At home I have one big net; I have wireless, DHCP, and DNS on the AT&T piece of **** connecting to the Internet turned off, and have two proper systems connected to it by Ethernet, both doing wireless in bridge mode, I have a small, old, machine connected by Ethernet acting as DNS and DHCP servers. Most fixed hardware is connected by Ethernet, including the printers. Laptops and cellphones and tablets use wireless, and with two WAPs I have good signal strength throughout the property. At the office we have two wireless nets, one for visitors etc., which has no access to anything on the main net, and one for staff, which does have access. Most fixed hardware is, again, connected by Ethernet. People using the staff wireless can print, see the file servers, database, etc. People using the guest wireless can’t do much more than see the Internet. I may implement a guest wireless net at home. 2 hook the printer to a server using USB, turn on the print server role. One of the older devices at the office, an elderly imagesetter, is connected by a parallel cable (no USB on that device, it’s too old!) to an elderly but younger than the imagesetter XP machine running print server software. Access to the print server is restricted to certain users as the imagesetter uses very expensive film, but those users can use machines connected by Ethernet or the staff wireless without problems. 3 hook the printer up to an ordinary desktop machine, turn on print sharing. Have users talk to the machine doing the sharing. Yes, I have an Active Directory network at home. It was trivial to implement, on first W2K and W2K3 servers, since retired, then on W2K8, W2K8/R2, and finally on W2k12 and later systems, all using actual legal licenses, many of them free thanks to Microsoft’s Dreamspark and/or Imagine. Setting up Apple servers is easier but OS X Server is crippled, though it’s only $20.00; setting up Linux servers is free but more difficult. If you have a few older machines available running your own servers is fairly easy and makes DNS, VOIP, VPN, and anti-ad systems much easier to install and much more effective. YMMV. |
