    How to install HP Laserjet 6p in win 10


    I reinstalled win 10. Now there is no Hp Laserjet 6p in the printer list anymore.
    Before installing I did what is in this tutorial:
    Backup and Restore Printers in Windows

    I found it afterwards, but I did what is told here.

    It goes wrong regarding the HP LJ 6p. He was installed in win 10 64 and I wanted it to in stall it again in win 10 64.
    I get a message that tels it is a 32 bits driver.
    I'm aware of this:

    Note
    If you exported printers from a 32-bit Windows PC, you will only be able to import them to a 32-bit Windows PC.

    If you exported printers from a 64-bit Windows PC, you will only be able to import them to a 64-bit Windows PC.
    I have a laptop win 10 64 left with installed Hp laserjet 6p.

    Are there possibilities to copy something from the working laptop to the new installed desktop to get this printer working?

    I can publish the error log here, but it is in Dutch....

    Why not click "add printer" and answer the questions, that are asked for? (Maybe you have to delete the old driver first). In this way I connected my very old LaserJet 4M without problems to my W10 64bit PC.

    Go to HP Support to look for any guidance on your printer.

    Go to HP user forums to look for any guidance on your printer.

    I mentioned:
    Now there is no Hp Laserjet 6p in the printer list anymore.
    So this way of installation won't work.

    I also went to HP, but those drivers aren't valid for win 10.

    BUT I've found in one of my backup files the word HP Laserjet 6p: prnhp001.inf_amd64_081cf2b90ec9e6d5
    Selecting this when installing on the regular way, it installs on the usual way.
    Dit cost some time to find this way, but now It works.

    Sometimes Microsoft does not have all drivers in their repositories and onboard Windows, so you do have to download and install. Since this is resolved, Check that a solution was found at the top of your post.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case.
    The HP Laserjet 6p is in not onboard and in no repositories anymore, as I stated in the first line.

    Yes it is the case. Not every device has a driver in Windows Driver folder or in the Microsoft driver repository, so you end up downloading or installing from your personal software repositories. That printer had no more support after XP/MacOS 9.

    If you want a really good Laser, look at the Samsung M2825DW series. I have one and it is rock solid. HP/Compaq bought out the Samsung Laser line to replace their Laserjet series.

    It works for me works the solution as below:
    1. connect usb to parallel port adapter and wait for its driver installation
    2. Add Printer -> Add local printer -> Use existing port USB001 (Virtual Printer Port for USB)
    3. Download the universal drivers for pci 5 or something like that.
    4 select those drivers and it worked.

    As mentioned before, I have the driver backuped: HP Laserjet 6p: prnhp001.inf_amd64_081cf2b90ec9e6d5
    It is now in a rar file and 12.457kB in size. It exeeds the file size limit of 4mB to upload.
    Is there an other way to share this file for users of this site? I could put it in we transfer but this is only voor 7 days available.
    Upload every time again is not what I want.
    Is there a way to put it in parts on tenforums ?

    I succeeded to split the file.
    Download, unpack and in the printer driver screen choose prnhp001.inf
