HP 4050 Installation CD
Can some kind soul let me borrow an HP 4050 laser printer installation CD - it will be returned.
Please don't say "it can be down-loaded from the internet". Been there, done that, got the wet T-shirt... Barry |

Re: HP 4050 Installation CD
What is the problem getting it from the HP website? I ask as I regularly used to download the drivers etc when I was chopping & changing printers about once a month and dowmloaded the software for the 4000T a few months ago without a problem. If necessary, can I download ot onto a CD for you?

What operating system is it for? I have an original HP disk you can have but it's only suitable for Windows NT 4.0/9x/3.x or Macintosh System 7.x/8.x. I think that because of the age of the printers there was no later disk Its got PCL 6, PCL 5e and PostScript drivers. If it's what you're after then you are welcome to have it FOC and to keep. I've got several of them but I never use them as I always use the latest drivers from the HP website. HTH TimR

Re: HP 4050 Installation CD
Thanks lads.
All my serious CAD and DTP work is under DOS (I haven't got the patience for new technology!). The beauty with HP printers is that they are backwards compatible, but the trouble is that without the proper disc some problems arise when printing from DOS programme via a Windows PC. PM on way to Flyingtech , and thanks for the offer Sean - I may be back in contact. Barry Last edited by Paul Stenning; 27th Aug 2011 at 1:01 pm. Reason: Removed unnecessary comment |
