HP LaserJet 6L Printer
I have used the latest XP driver for HP LaserJet 6L
printer but if the computer is booted up with the printer having no paper in it, the PC doesn't recognise when paper has been added. Normally it is necessary to re-boot the machine so that printing can be carried out. Please advise if there is a solution to this problem. Regards Glenn |

HP LaserJet 6L Printer
Mary,
Thanks but unfortunately it isn't so simple. When the paper is put into the hopper after booting up, the green light correctly operates on the printer but the Windows XP does not see this. There was no problem with Windows 95.

You might post this to comp.sys.hp.hardware where a couple of HP printer experts hang out. I have two 6L printers and found that the XP-compatible HP driver does not work at all well (printers getting "lost" from time to time) but the native XP driver does. You might try the native driver; it retains most of the printer capabilities. Also, the 6L is getting near the end of its useful life and the switch might just be worn out. You will find references to replacement part suppliers for these printers on the hp.hardware ng. Q |
