HP LaserJet 1300 Printer Drivers and Software Download for Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS. HP LaserJet 1300 Driver for Windows 10, 8.1, and 8 – Download HP.

Hi, I had just downloaded the latest installation CD for Win10 (version 1803, Build 17134.81) and tried a new installation from scratch. My old printer HP Laserjet 1300 was recognized but only as 'Other device' and not as printer. I have had this problem in previous installations where the situation had been solved by Microsoft Update.

Unfortunately, not so with my current installation which failed badly with error message 'Microsoft driver update for hp LaserJet 1300 PCL 5 - Error 0x80240061'. The update log states error message 80240034.

Did not find any information about these error codes -- does anybody have any information about these codes? No way to get the printer working in this environment. Only way out so far was to return to a backup copy of my old Win7/Win10 system -- but I do really want to start with a 'clean' system after several years of continuous operation and updates. B.t.w.: I have noted that the installer package from HP refers to a printer 'HP LaserJet 1300 Series' but the printer shows up as 'HP LaserJet 1300'. Is this eventually the cause for the problem.

Hkey_current_user Software Microsoft Windows Nt Currentversion Printer Ports there. (I cannot test this since I do not have a tool to create a new MSI package) Regards PaulH. Hi, My name is Fernando.

I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to guide you with possible resolution to the issue you are reporting. The problem could be that the driver you have is an older driver and is not compatible with Windows 10. I do not see a Windows 10 specific driver on the HP website. However, I have lots of experience with printers. Kodak Esp 5 All In One Printer Problems more. Toothpaste Two Font Logos more. I have had much success with situations like yours using HP Universal print driver. You can download the driver at: I hope this helps.

Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes. Respectfully, Fernando Y. Yes, any attempt to install the current driver for LJ1300 from the original HP download pages does not show much of an effect after I permitted to run the installation. I see a very short flicker of a progress bar -- too short to read the message; then the installer terminates without any message. The printer is still shown in the group of 'Other devices'. 7-Zip does allow me to unpack the MSI file and see (and eventually edit) the INF file, however, I cannot produce a new MSI file with the change I would give a try.
