HP LASERJET 6L IMPRESSORA LASER EM PORTUGAL

Duas impressoras HP LaserJet 6L Uma é nova na caixa, nunca foi usada. A outra está a funcionar mas não tem toner. Atenção - esta impressora tem porta paralela, podendo ser ligada a um computador com uma porta LPT ou através de um cabo LPT/USB. Poderá ser instalada no Windows 10. No site da Microsoft está indicado como fazer a sua instalação. PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLING A HP LASERJET 6L PRINTER ON WINDOWS 10 USING A PARALLEL CABLE Between them, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard have made installing a LaserJet 6L printer on Windows 10, using a parallel port, a bit of a treasure hunt. Windows 10 installs it using a Postscript class driver, which the 6L does not support. Using that, try to print anything from the PC, even a test page, and you get gobbledegook and waste a lot of paper. And getting the failed print document out of the print queue and the printer's memory is a further waste of time. I found that following suggestions by HP and others to use Windows Update to install a more relevant driver always failed. If you try that, your mileage may vary. But I spent a day finding a workaround which seems robust and allows other networked PCs to use the printer. Here it is: 1) Using the front panel button on your printer, print a test page. Probably at the bottom left will be a box saying something like “Enhanced HP PCL5”. If this box indicates that the printer is using PCL5 or Enhanced PCL5 then proceed with these instructions. If the printer is not using a form of PCL5, then stop here – these instructions will not apply. 2) A Windows 10 PC is very unlikely to have a parallel connection unless one has been retrofitted. If yours doesn't, install a parallel card, e.g. in a PCI Express expansion socket. 3) Once the card is installed, use Device Manager to find out which port the card is using. 4) Connect and power up the printer. 5) Reboot the PC. 6) In Printers and Scanners, remove the printer as installed by Windows. 7) Download the file upd-pcl5-x64-6.1.0.20062.exe from http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/PRINTER/HP/HP-Universal-Print-Driver-PCL5-61020062-64-bit.shtml. This file is the last version of the HP Universal Printer Driver for 64-bit PCs which supports PCL5, the printer language used by the LaserJet 6L (see https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c04324001 for confirmation of this). I make no warranty that Softpedia has not installed adware or anything else with this download, but I scanned the file with Avast and Malwarebytes and found nothing. I found nothing on machine-wide scans either. 8) Run the downloaded file and follow the instructions. Install the printer as a local printer on the same port as the parallel card (see step 3 above). 9) Set the printer, which will be called HP Universal Printing PCL5 (v6.1.0), as your default printer. 10) I found that Windows soon installed the printer again using the useless Postscript driver, calling it Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6L Printer. I left it there so Windows did not reinstall it on every reboot but otherwise ignored it. Just remember never to use it when you print anything or you will get a lot of junk and waste a lot of paper.
