Konica Minolta 164 Drivers For Windows 7 32-bit

[Mood Phaneuf]

Theway I have it set up is that my laserjet 1000 is plugged into a seperate old PC running windows 2000 with laserjet 1000 drivers loaded on it as its shared by various household computer ranging from Macbook to XP and now windows7.

I have tried what you proposed, but unfortunately I have a window saying "Please make sure the printer is connected to the USB port and powered on. Detecting connection..." and it remains stuck that way.

Then, Right-Click on the Laserjet1000 printer > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Change Parameters > Driver > Updated Pilote > I chose the "choose drivers locally" and then choose "Konica" as manufacturer, then selected the "2430DL" model. After driver insalled, I made the proposed change (Winprint/RAW), but when trying to print the test page, nothing happens, and the printer enters the error state.

Thank you so much Anthony! How in the world did you figure all this out?

For those of you who need a little more direction, I will elaborate on Anthony's instructions with a step-by-step guide:

The printer needs to be plugged into a computer that is running a 32-bit version of Windows and networked to your Windows 7 64-bit machine. The computer running 32-bit Windows will be your print server. On the 32-bit machine, install the HP drivers found here:

and share the printer over the network.

On the computer running Windows 7 64-bit, download and unzip the magicolor 2430DL driver that Anthony pointed to.

Double click on \mc2430DL_win7_x64_v2024200\En\Setup.exe.

When setup asks what components to install, only select the driver, deselecting the other options, and click OK.

Next, it will ask you whether it's a local or network printer. Select Local Printer and click OK

Next, under Select Port, select Other, leaving the drop-down box as is and click OK.

Change the name to 'hp LaserJet 1000' and click OK.

The printer driver should install successfully.

Next, click on the start menu > Devices and Printers and right click on hp LaserJet 1000 and click on Printer properties.

Under the Advanced tab, click on the Print Processor... button then select winprint for the print processor and RAW for the default data type. Click OK

Still in Printer properties, go to the Ports tab and click on Add Port...

Select Local Port and click on New Port...

For the port name, type \\your print server's name or ip address\printer's share name.

For example, if the name of the 32-bit computer that is directly hooked up to the printer is WATSON and its ip address is 192.168.0.13, and the printer's share name is Printer5, you type:

\\WATSON\Printer5

or

\\192.168.0.13\Printer5

Click OK and that should be it.

If you don't know the name of the 32-bit computer acting as print server, or the printer's share name, do the following:

For Windows XP 32-bit:

Right click My Computer and click on properties, then under the Computer Name tab it will tell you the computer's name next to 'Full computer name:'. This is not to be confused with 'Computer description:', thought they may be the same. For the IP address, click on run in the start menu, then type cmd in the text box and press enter. In the command prompt, type ipconfig and press enter. The IP address will be displayed.

To find out the printer's share name, in the start menu or control panel click on Printers and Faxes (Devices and Printers in Windows 7). Right-click on hp LaserJet 1000 and click on Printer properties. Under the Sharing tab, it will show you the share name, which may be different from the name that appears in Printers and Faxes. If the name is greyed out, check Share this printer, give it a share name, and press OK.

I haven't tried to get this to work by hooking the printer up to the Windows 7 64-bit computer directly via USB cable, but if I figure it out I will post an update.

I did not go to the extreme of modifying things like Los15 did. You may have to do this if you have a Win 7 machine hosting the printer. I left my print drivers unaltered and started on #11 like erpp. I installed the host based drivers a long time ago. If you do not have the DOS driver installed, then install the host based driver.

I) On the 32 bit system I just left the printer installed as it was - only performed steps 11 and 12 on the LaserJet 1000 DOS, which was already installed. I changed the port to USB1, which is the one on which the printer is installed.

II) On the 64 bit Windows 7 system I followed the whole procedure described: steps 1 to 4. The LaserJet 1000 DOS, showed up as Printer under "Devices and Printers", so that was the printer name I used to create the Local Port. Had to update the HP printer list originally presented by W7 because it did not contain the HP LaserJet 1100 MS, which only showed up after the update. Printer is installed as HP LaserJet 1100 MS. Installation was rather fast. Worked fine. If there are any hitches later on its functioning I will update this post.

I am very glad to be able to continue to use this printer because it has worked great throughout 8 years and, additionally, the HP printers that replace it seem to work with a 1600 page cartridge, vs. 2500 pages for the LaserJet 1000.

After working on this for a while, I've pieced together some solutions offered by other frustrated HP customers. Below is a solution that will work for Windows 7 64-bit clients printing to a Windows 7 32-bit shared LaserJet 1000 printer:

7. After successful install you will notice two printers. One is the LaserJet 1000 and the other is the LaserJet 1000 DOS. They are not read to print. Need to fix driver issue on LaserJet 1000 in the next step.

I have same computer and cannot get the solution for the printer to work, It seems the installation of drivers of the konica printer is my issue, which ones do i use? a more step by step instruction may be what i need. But, can't get it to work now. I have my hp laser 1000 conected to a gateway running xp through usb and it shares fine with all xp computers but now none of the windows 7 will print to gateway computer.

Phil, do not use the konica driver. Use HP's host-based driver (DOS printer) on the WinXP print server and use HP Laserjet 1100MS driver for the Win 7 machines. If you do not have the host based driver, download it from the HP support page. Make sure to update the drivers first on the Win 7 machine in order to see the HP Laserjet 1100MS driver.

I resolved this problem recently. Host the HP Laserjet 1000 on a 32-bit machine like WinXP. Assign this as your print server on your home network. Your Windows 7 machine will be somewhere on the network. Install the host based drivers on the WinXP machine. Modify the DOS driver and change the port to USB. On the Win 7 64 bit machine, install a new printer as a LOCAL PRINTER (although it is not attched to the Win 7 machine). Create a new port. Local port type. For the port name use \\PrintServerName\PrinterShareName. Click on Windows update button next to update the drivers. Choose HP Laserjet 1100 MS as the driver for the Win 7 machine. Save with whatever name and do a test print.

I have one Win 7 computer connected to a Laserjet 1000. I downloaded the Konica driver and followed the instructions, but nothing. I do not have a network or a print server, just one computer connected to one printer. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am not a super wiz at this stuff so detailed instructions would really be appreciated.
