I have been trying to install an HP 1300 printer on my network at work and cannot seem to get the driver to install. I have followed the advice at:
Laserjet 1300 Driver for Windows 7 64 Bits - HP Support Forum
and was able to get the printer to work if it is directly attached to my computer but in a work situation the printer is in another room where it is more widely used. The PCL5 driver seemed to install if I plugged the printer directly but now that the printer is back on the system I cannot configure that install to find it on the network. It is visible when I try to install a printer from the control panel but it just cannot deal with installing it on another computer.
Any ideas how to reconfigure the port to see this printer? I have tried to add an TCP/IP port but it will not configure to see the printer.
This new computer is pretty useless unless I can get it to print on the network. I also have a Sharp printer scanner with the same issue.
