HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Laser Printer

Anonymous

I can't seem to get my HP CP1518ni printer to print properly with Win 7 64b. I'm using the PCL 5 UPD. Calling India wasn't much help. I'm getting very fuzzy printing on most bold fonts. All .pdf printing is a fuzzy mess. Test pages are O.K. I've done the calibration from the printer itself, but it doesn't seem to help. PCL 6 worked fine on my old XP computer, but I don't think PCL 6 is compatible with Win 7. Anybody have a suggestion? Thanks.

Answer 1

Can you tell me me how to reinstall PCL 6? My printer seems to have disappeared from my Device manager. I have the PCL 6 on my computer, but don't know how to match it up with my printer. If my printer is compatible with Win 7, is it proper to have an XP driver? I'm still confused. Thanks for your help.
