windows 2003 server drivers for LaserJet 4xxx printers

[Matthew Clarke]

is there a resource for drivers for many laserjet 4000 series printers? typically 4300dtns, 4100 and 4000 and one laserjet 5m colo(u)r printer.

before changing to our new 2k3 server, i need to know i will be able to use the printers and other periferals.

thanks,

matt

Matt:

For instance (LJ4000):

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?locale=en_US&pnameOID=14952&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25474〈=nl&cc=nl&swEnvOID=1005

and LJ4100:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=29118&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=83436&prodTypeId=18972&swEnvOID=1005

Those were found by going to:

http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

and clicking on 'Download drivers and software', entering the product name in the 'for product' field and clicking on the arrow (begin your search) and then drilling down.

The other two products do NOT indicate WIN2K3 support on the HP website. For those products, go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx

and click on the hardware tab, slect Printers and the appropriate sub-class, then use the 'Search within Category' to refine the search. When I tried this, I found no indication that the Colo(u)r Laserjet 5M was supported, but the 4300dtns indicated PCL5e, PCL6, and PS drivers for all versions of WIN2K3. My WIN2K3 server is not available at the moment or I'd look in there for the LJ5m.

Make a great day!

HI Matt,
I'm currently using some HP laserJet 4050, 4100, 4200 with some Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition (using it as Shared Printed and in Terminal Server Connession) and I haven't see any problem yet.

Hope it help you...

Nice day

Luca
