[REL] [x86, 32 bit] DriverPack Printer HP v7.05.15 (Page 2 of 3)

You removed some directories..

1- Is the removed directories (or drivers) still working via dir "01" ?
ex: the previous dir "08" - HPlj 1300.

2- I noticed that all hp drivers in dir "02" can be added via Add Printer Wizard in Windows XP. so what is the need?

3- Can i remove a dir, then compress the folder "DP_PrintersHP_wnt5_x86-32_70515" via 7z - Ultra without problems.
ex: dir "07".

.....

maxximum,
The printer pack dir didn't removed and stay in the %systemdrive% after the setup.
although i'm using "Disable KTD".

Is this usual or not?

Let me say it in another way:
I'm using Disable KTD.

Why this directory especially! stays and not removed,
althought all other packs directories deleted.

(and if i'm using KTD.. it should reside in the %Windir%\DriverPacks\D not in %systemdrive%)

It's annoying me and the size of it too (?? MB)

Follow HowTo in this forum.

Maybe it is because in pack PCL5e version, not PCL6, recommended by HP and installed by default?

I don't think the problem is PCL6.

I think this "HP Universal Print Driver Series" doesn't have the driver files for which called "Supported Printers" , OR i have less experience installing it.

The problem still exist in the latest pack, while the previous pack could detect those printers (ex: hp LJ 1300)

I would like to help Maxximum,

But i don't think that THIS "Universal Print Driver (of any type: PostScript, PCL5, PCL6)" can install THOSE "Supported Printers" as an unknown devices.

Cause i extract the exe: "hpupd40pcl6-32" - Universal Print Driver (PCL6) ...
but didn't find the driver files for those "Supported Printers - Ex: HP LJ 1300"

I'm sure that this "Universal Print Driver" is concerned with something else other than installing an unknown printer.

ok it seems the universal driver is completely screwed, just tried on an HP 8150 too...presume its the driver itself?
Incidently it also can't see full res of printer on 2300 or 8150

Please download this .doc from below link and open in word, print it and you will see most of the fonts get totally screwed up,

If you want to rebuild with individual drivers I wil lbe happy to help.

Hmm no replies still, I took liberty to remove the existing pcl5 driver (sub-dir 01), then have added the latest pcl5 v4.0.0.0 (its been fractionally updated) and also pcl6 v4.0.0.0 universal drivers. Both dated 16-Apr-2007
I don't know if the newer pcl5 driver fixes problems above (not tried it) but presume will be same issues - maybe other people have had better luck with it?
Also in this release I left in the HP setup program incase anyone KTD's it and wishes to use it that way at a later date, only adds a couple of meg to size (both are untouched from extracted source)

If anyone is interested the PCL5 'system' is meant to be more robust and less susceptable to crappy cabling/network than PCL6. (HP say if you get lots of PCL errors on printouts running PCL6 then to try PCL5 instead.)
