@Amoranemix2 - you logged in yesterday but didn’t update - still need help?

[Amoranemix2]

I needed to restart the computer in order to open the Printer server properties.
I again chose to remove the driver and the driver packet.

It again can’t be removed :

[ATTACH type=“full” alt=“Kan opnieuw niet verwijderen.png”]10405[/ATTACH]

I notice the print spooler is running again. If I stop it, I can’t open Printer server properties.
I suspect I’ll have to restart the computer while preventing the Print spooler from starting.

I didn’t try the rest.

Try to remove in safe mode

Mispost. I got confused about what was posted and not. I am about to read post 20 now.

[Amoranemix2]

I tried to follow the instruction from the link in post 21. Step two failed :

[ATTACH type=“full”]10414[/ATTACH]

Removing the printer driver with Powershell failed because the driver is allegedly in use by one or more printers.

Trying the instruction from post 22. The printer is not listed :

[ATTACH type=“full”]10415[/ATTACH]

Moreover, the device properties windows don’t have an Advanced tab, only a General and Hardware tab.

I’ll try to prevent the print spooler from starting with Windows.

[Amoranemix2]

I prevent the Print Spooler from starting.

I try the instructions ifrom How to completely remove printer driver on Windows 10 - Pureinfotech again.
Deleting print driver using Print Management fails because no drivers are listed.
Removing it with Powershell fails as well because the spooler service is not reachable.

So I restart in safe mode. The drivers still aren’t listed (so I can’t remove any) and the Print Spooler can’t work in safe mode.

Lets try this
Yor pic in post #24 shows no printer installed.
Go too control panel and install the printer.
When the wizard runs untick the box that says it will query the printer for the driver.
When it ask for a print driver choose Generic driver>Generic text only
Test from notepad

[Amoranemix2]

I installed the printer as TCP/IP printer with generic text only driver.
The test page only pinrted once.

Using the Generic / Text Only printer in Notepad worked and it only printed once. The HP LaserJet 1022n is also visible in Notepad, but it doesn’t do anything.
Printing with the generic printer from LibreOffice printed single a blank page. Printing with the LaserJet from LibreOffice didn’t do anything.

[PeterOz]

Download this driver
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers...Id/ds-99374-25
Extract to somewhere you know
Go to the generic printer
Right click
click on printer properties
Click on Advanced tab
Click on New driver
point to the downloaded extracted driver
Test notepad

[Amoranemix2]

What does “Go to the generic printer“ mean?

If I go to ‘Apparaten en printers’ as in the second image of post 24, then I get stuck because there is no Advanced tab.

I can also go to ‘Printers en scanners’ :

[ATTACH type=“full”]10423[/ATTACH]

Righ-clicking doesn’t do anything. I can however find an Advanced tab there somewhere with a New… option for driver which starts ‘Wizard Printerstuurprogramma toevogen’, which gets me to here :

[ATTACH type=“full”]10425[/ATTACH]

In there ‘Bladeren…’ expects me to point to a CD with an .inf file.

‘Volgende >’ (Next) is ambiguous. The next screen has a ‘Voltooien’ (Complete) button, but it fails to explain what that will do. I try it anyway. It closes the wizard and doesn’t seem to do anything else. (I also tried selecting Generic under 'Fabrikant, no avail.)

In Device Manager i can also find the generic printer in the print queue, but I can’t find an Advance tab there.

[PeterOz]

That is because you did not go via control panel
When you have this point
[ATTACH type=“full” width=“391px”]10430[/ATTACH]
Click on Bladeren
You will get a pop up window Install from disk
Click on browse

Then change the path to where you have the PCL file you downloaded in post #28
then finish the wizard
Test with notepad

[Amoranemix2]

I go back to “In there ‘Bladeren…’ expects me to point to a CD with an .inf file. "
I manage to get Explorer to show me the .exe file. Clicking ‘Openen’ having it selected produces the error dialog box sound and seemingly does nothing else.

I cancel and close the wizard.
Printing from Notepad using the Laserjet doesn’t do anything. Printing from Notepad using the generic driver prints one page.
