Hp Laserjet P1005 Driver Pack For

So I decided to check for updated drivers and found your support site with the Basic Driver pack for this printer.

I tried to install, but installation got stuck in the beginning, without error message.

Thats when trouble began, because now my printer did not work at all anymore, and no drivers at all would install anymore.

Then tried to install the Basic Driver pack, but it got stuck again (after about 10).

Hp Laserjet P1005 Full Driver Pack

Cleared everything again, as above, and tried to install the older full driver pack which worked partially after the Win10 update.

At this point the printer is not even detected by Windows as a new USB device.

Reverted Win10 to the point just after the upgrade.

The printer shows up in Windows devices again, but its offline and it stays that way, whatever I try (followed all steps on your support site) - Tried several different USB ports.

The printer works fine with a Win7 laptop, so the cable, printer and power are fine.

Then, I tried running all HP diagnostic tools (print and scan doctor etc) but they tell me that this printer is not supported.

In one desperate try I installed the Basic driver pack again, and this time it DID install fully.

However.the printer is still offline and it stays that way.

I do have an error message (yellow triangle) in Windows hardware devices, which says: Quest Software USB device can not be started because of damaged configuration or registry files.

The printer, however, does not show up in the list of hardware devices from Windows.

If you disconnect the USB cable does the entry for the error go away in the Device Manager If not, if you backed up the registry before editing it, I would suggest to go back.

I would run the uninstall and reinstall the printer in Windows 8 compatibility mode.

HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver.

Extract the files.

Right click on the setup file (HPSetup or Setup.exe, your might be different) of the driver and select Properties.

Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select Windows 8 from the drop down list.

If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.

Thank You.

However, I did not actually edit any registry, just have RegCleaner remove any unused files.

That should not have been a problem, I hope I went ahead and tried the compatibility mode anyway, but the installation gets stuck again.

More suggestions please, because it seems you have a better clue what is going on than I.

When is the installation getting stuck (when it is searching for the printer, before searching for the printer) Leave the USB cable connected, delete the printer from the Device Manager.

Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers look for yellow exclamation mark, USB Printing Support and Mass Storage Device or anything with a unknown device.

How do I get into Windows Device Manager If you are still getting the yellow exclamation mark, let me know.
