What could be the possible cause of my HP Laser Jet 1300n printer not working or responding when connected to a desktop PC with Windows 7 bit 64 OS? I have tried to install its drivers of the printer on the desktop PC and jet still the printer is not recognized by the computer. What could be the possible cause? I tried reconnecting it to the formal computer it was connected to and it was recognized and working alright. It is possible that the drivers are outdated or the OS is also advanced for Printer’s drivers? If the drivers are outdated, which website is perfect for getting updated version because I have tried all means and yet still had no positive resorts.

If the printer still doesn’t work, check that the driver you installed is the correct version for your operating system. Try downloading the driver again from the HP website. Go to HP LaserJet 1300n Printer. Here, select your correct operating system if the detected operating system is not the one you are using. Download and install all available driver and software for your printer.

This should identify the printer properly on your computer. If this doesn’t work, try transferring the USB cable to another USB port. There are multiple USB ports at the back of your CPU plus one or more USB ports in front or in the front panel. Try using all available USB ports to troubleshoot the problem.

If this doesn’t work, try connecting and installing the printer to another computer. See if the printer installs there. If the printer successfully installs on the other computer, there must be something wrong with your operating system. In this case, format your system drive and install Microsoft Windows again.
