6Foot2 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I am trying to add Windows 7 drivers to my 2003 print server. Whenever I try to download drivers from the HP site I get a time out error. Example URL that times out: Link: ftp:*/*/*ftp.*hp.*com/*pub/*softlib/*software11/*COL33807/*lj-*84320-*1/*P2055_default_in*stall_v6.*1_ww.*exe Can anyone point me toward a website where I can get updated drivers for my network? Google searches just land me at websites that do not have anything to offer [except games and useless utilities downloads] Many thanks.
Chris-W- Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I get a timeout on Chrome and IE, but not Firefox? Which browser are you using? 1
6Foot2 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I get a timeout on Chrome and IE, but not Firefox? Which browser are you using? Chrome. I will try Firefox now. Thanks. Edit: This worked. Thank again. Edited July 28, 2011 by 6Foot2 Add detail to the post.
glen_j Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 downloaded ok for me, i put it on mediafire see if you can download it from there P2055_default_install_v6.1_ww.exe 1
6Foot2 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks. This isn't the only driver I need though. I will take the Firefox approach and download each one in turn. The problem I am having now is getting the driver to apply properly at the server while still maintaining my XP drivers.
Psymon Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I have found the HP Universal Print Drivers work really well. We have a single driver for x86 and x64 installed on the server supporting all HP Lasers. Si

We have a single driver for x86 and x64 installed on the server supporting all HP Lasers. Si Have HP improved the login times yet? I tried the UPD last year and found if i deployed printers via GPP it increased the login times dramatically. It seemed to take some time to even install one printer.

ZeroHour Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 As a tip Dave I would use Microsoft Update Catalog to source Windows 7 printer drivers, certainly the early drivers HP released for 7 caused lots of issues. 1
