Download Hp Laserjet 600 M601 Driver

[Miina Hunker]

Ihave a laserjet 600 m601 printer that is giving me an error code 59.00.30. I have replaced the pickup motor assembly and its cables, unplugged and replugged all the cables connected to the main control board and even replaced the pickup drive assembly. Im running out of ideas on what could still be causing the problem. Anyone out there that can help me?

1) With the Paper Feed Motor (M101) connected to the DC controller but NOT screwed into place (just hold it outwards so that you can see its gear), boot the printer and see if the error comes up again and the motor spins. You can verify if it is working by doing a Component Test.

3) If the motor does not spin and the printer still boots to the same error 59.00.30, then you have to check the connector (J191) on the motor and the connector (J91) on the DC controller if they properly seated. Check of any damage on the wire itself. Next step would be to replace the M101 motor. Finally, replace the DC controller.

3) I have switched out the motor (m101) and its respective cable with one from a functioning printer of the same model and the error message still occurs. I have made sure that all of the connectors are completely seated, and I have even replaced the DC controller with one from the same functioning printer, but the error message still comes up.

Thank you for the help and updated information. I did not realise there was an updated manual. I took the fuser motor out of the bad printer and decided to put it in the good printer first (i was hesitant to put the good motor in the bad printer for fear of ruining it if it met too much resistance from the gears.) Upon starting up, the good printer now has the error message 59.00.30. I think i have isolated the problem now and will be ordering a new motor.

Update 3 December 2018: So far, the furthest progress I've made has been with CraftyB's answer. Here is the output from his PowershellOutput instructions. It identified the .inf file for my printer as prnhp001.inf. I don't think this is a "default driver" as some have suspected. Also perhaps worth noting is this is purely a network printer on my home network.

Update -- Mission Complete. Using CraftyB's answer, I took the entire folder indicated in the "InfPath" results of his 2nd block of code and browsed there at the "Have Disk" prompt during install and it worked. For those who many not have a working pc to harvest the driver from in order to get their laserjet5 working on Windows 10, I provide them here.

The driver file is "upd-pcl5-x64-6.1.0.20062.exe", I could not find it on HP's support site, so I did a search, and found several locations listing this universal driver set. I found a site that didn't charge, but did plant a cookie ... which I will now have to elliminate. BUT, IT WORKS!!! I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but I suspect that it will work for several PCL printers "no longer supported".

If you persist in struggling to get it to work in Windows (despite the very generous bounty), you could buy a cheap Raspberry pi and install CUPS on it. The Laserjet 5 is listed as perfectly working with Linux (and equally macOS):

You should then be able to add it as an IPP (internet printing protocol) printer and print over the network from your Windows clients. Here are more verbose instructions for printing to a CUPS printer from Windows:

You may find the name of the .inf file in the registry under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DRIVERS\DriverDatabase\DeviceIds\PRINTR-NAME.

You will find there entries whose name is that of the file-name.For my printer the name was oem15.inf.
