Windows 10: How do I print to an HP LaserJet 1320?

Question

I have an old HP LaserJet 1320 that is shared on my home network via CUPS and Samba. It has worked well until I recently upgraded to Windows 10. Windows does not automatically detect the drivers for it and the generic drivers on the HP website, depending on my Windows connection method, either do not talk to the printer or produce a black block where each line should be.

How can I make Windows 10 talk to this printer?

Solution 1

1. Click Windows Update button
2. Wait until windows refreshes the list of drivers
3. Choose your printer

Solution 2

Use the built-in HP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL 5 drivers on Windows 10.

The HP Laserjet 1320 supports PCL 5 and appears to be compatible. It may not provide all of the same quality options and features, but it allows basic printing for me. Tested against a Samba 4 server as well as a CUPS URL. Both worked in Windows 10.

"I do not know if this will solve the problem if it is another type of connection." > it's not an answer then. OP is using CUPS and Samba not USB.

I tried this for both a CUPS URI and via Microsoft's network sharing (SMB). I couldn't get these drivers to behave for a networked printer. I was routed repeatedly to HP's management window which had difficulty talking to the printer. When it did connect, I got black blocks where each printed line should be.

This appears to be working well. Thanks for the update, I have changed the accepted answer.

I had tried the universal printer drivers from the HP website without any luck. Thanks, though.
