Printer Driver Hp Laserjet 1320 Free Download
Mina Delahoussaye
Hi! I would appreciate any help. Windows 10 operating system cannot recognize my Laserjet 1320. It is not in the list of printers, even when I try to search for it. I tried to add it manually but I did not succeed - there is no HP in the list of drivers.
Has anyone tried to get a HP LaserJet 1320 to work with Windows11?
I see it is not on the HP list of compatible printers, but wondered if anyone has found a generic driver or something that would work.
If not , does anyone have any good suggestions for how to reuse a perfectly good HP LaserJet 1320?
An overnight software update from Apple (to Catalina 10.15.7) killed my ability to print to hp 1320 laser jet printer. This happened to both computers in the house that run Catalina. When trying to print to the hp 1320, I get a message that "hpPostProcessing.bundle" will damage your computer. When I respond to the error message, the printspooler stops.
The postscript driver is really slow. There is another better driver in the list. You have to look closely in the driver list but around the middle is a generic PCL 4-5 driver. It prints with the same speed as the old 1320 driver and has a check box for duplex printing.
The generic PCL driver looks like the best choice. HP has updated the certificate on the newer printer drivers but not on the 1320. It is too old I guess. The Generic PCL driver is working fine for me. I tried loading the Apple HP driver package to try that but on Big Sur, I get a message from the installer that the package does not support my operating system. Maybe the will release a version that supports Big Sur eventually but if HP won't update the driver certificate, it may not. be much help.
Instead of selecting Generic Postscript printer, under use select software and select HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5. It prints way faster than the postscript driver. Pretty much like the original driver. You just need to select Duplex in the options and then Duplex printing option will be available when you print.
I went back to a backup of about 2 weeks ago, which still uses hplip 3.9.4b which uses the hlip-hpijs which gets replace by hpcups when you upgrade to hplip 3.9.6. Printer works fine again, now just updating all but hplip. I think I was wrong about it being letter format, it was just 50% of A4.
Packman only seems to have the new one PackMan :: Package details for hplip
Hplip site itself seems to cleanup old downloads also
RPM Search shows a few version, not the 3.9.4 unless you have suse 10.x then its there (RPM Search hplip-3.9.4b-15.pm.11.i586.rpm), might work, might not.
I am not sure but what you could do is go to yast and instead of selecting the 3.9.6 from packman select the 2.x version of the default suse repository, its a big step back but I dunno how else to move backwards.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I tried the suggestions but just could not get a driver that served my purpose. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but it just seemed as if I was not getting anywhere close.
noticed a new update 3.9.6b and also a new version on packman so removed current printer in yast, installed 3.9.6b via packman, started it, came up with a dialog that there was no printer, click the setup button, did that part, entered root login stuff when it asked for it and printer was added.
Have you tried setting it up from the hplip setup?
Open a terminal and run hp-setup as root.
If the printer is connected locally, it will find it immediately.
I find this the most reliable way to set up my jetdirect networked hp printers.
Once setup, you can modify it in yast and cups server.
Yes, it's supported (I have two in my work). But if you use any other driver (yes, I tested Postscript and hpcups from latest hplip version) and then you print anything to the printer... the printer won't stop printing copies. Infinite copies bug!?
You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version, it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee):
3) Click the Update button next to the flagged printer driver to automatically download the correct version of this driver (you can do this with the FREE version), then install it on your computer.
PCL 5e and 6 with Postscript 2 emulation, out of the box, parallel and USB connection, 250-sheet tray built-in, extra 250-sheet tray available. Inductive "Instant On" fuser for very fast pre-heating, first page after around 8 seconds. For basic printing functionality use the Postscript PPD or one of the PCL drivers. For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS). The PostScript mode is very fast for pure text, and very slow on images unless your printer has been upgraded with extra memory. It allows the maximum resolution of 1200x1200 DPI to be used, which makes it the best driver for workloads that require high image quality. HPIJS is very fast for text and image printing, but it is limited to 600x600 DPI resolution, which is not the device's maximum capability. It is the recommended driver for this printer as it has the best performance across all workloads. Please try also "pxlmono". It is somewhat faster than PostScript when only the default amount of memory is available. Note that the printer also easily runs out of memory when printing images in 1200x1200 dpi. Reduce the resolution to 600x600 dpi to get faster and more reliable printing.
If you need to see how to install the driver to work this way, here's a guide on how to do it. The driver link is in the guide.
There is no way around it - you need to configure the printer manually to make this work right, as the other modes are touch and go in many cases.
I have to disagree with your answer, Kelly. My suggestion to use the HP UPD bypasses the Windows Compatibility Center nonsense with a very good chunk of LaserJets. My 1012 "is not compatible with Windows 7", yet I can work around it like it's child's play anyway. The Windows Compatibility Center is a joke when it comes to many Laser printers other then HP, too. I will say many reports with Inkjets tend to prove true there but not so much with a laser printer.
However, because this answer isn't technically incorrect but it's ignoring the HP UPD I'm not going to downvote it. You do bring up a valid point but as a advanced user I have to disagree but I don't think that warrants a downvote.
To print to a Windows installed printer - so use a Windows printer driver - you would need a DOS-to-Windows print processor like DOSPRN ( -print.htm). Such a program will capture the ASCII data streams sent to a printer port (LPT or COM), convert it to input for a Windows printer driver, and send it to that printer.
