HP Printer Status Notification Pop-up messages

HP makes it easy to hate them. And I’m not the only one who does. Angry Technician does a fine line of HP hating. Today’s hate post topic? The HP Printer Status Notification Pop-up (SNP) message:

One of our customers complained about the message. They don’t want to be bugged by any printer [...]

Another day, another HP annoyance

On a HP DC7800 system, where do you think the Hardware Virtualization Technology setting might be?

Yes, that’s right. It’s in the Security section of the BIOS.

Unlike Steve Gibson, I don’t immediately associate Hardware Virtualization with security. It took me much Googling to locate where the setting was hiding.

"Use of HP UPD is in my experience counter productive."

Use of HP UPD is in my experience counter productive.

If you need to print to HP use the CLJ 9500MFP PS driver (or PCL6 or PCL5c if you must). This driver works on HP LaserJets. This driver is cluster compliant comes in 64bit and 32bit flavours and works with Novell/Iprint Citrix – the [...]

The printer does not print

The problem was described to me like this:

When you print to the network printer, and want to use the “URGENT” watermark setting, it does not work. When you print to a locally installed printer, it works.

The answer? When I install the printer driver on the Windows Server I specify WinPrint / [...]

I'm not the only one annoyed with HP's UPD print driver.

“Unable to store job at printer”

Saw this error while setting up a HP Color LaserJet 3525 printer, with the HP Postscript Universal Print Driver (UPD).

The problem was caused by several factors:

not doing an “Update Configuration” after installing the print driver. send a 250 page report to the printer. being forced to use the HP Postscript Universal [...]

Still a pack of cheap bastards

HP’s Universal Print Driver (UPD) v4.7.0 has finally been released. You might remember that I wrote that HP designed UPD because they are a pack of cheap bastards.

The one thing HP have been consistently great at is their Laserjet printer range. They just work. And now HP want to trash all that [...]

HP Office Jet Pro 7590

Occasionally a printer lands on my desk, for me to evaluate.

There’s not much wrong with the OfficeJet 7590 except:

standard black print cartridge only lasted 400 pages the install program for the printer software is truly horrible.

Aside from that, I’d buy one.

Officeworks (Australia) were selling them for $419.

HP Universal Print Driver - shame it doesn't work with Novell Netware.

Being cheap bastards conscious of the support costs of maintaining device-specific printer drivers, HP has come up with the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD).

Works great on Microsoft Windows based print servers.

Absolute rubbish with Novell iPrint.

When you install a Windows based UPD, the UPD says to the printer

What features do you [...]
