Hi downward_man,

Here's the instruction on how you will install your HP Laser Jet 1320 Printer:


1. Access the HP hardware support site to retrieve the HP LaserJet 1320 driver download.

2. Click the link that represents your computer's operating system.

3. Scroll down the page, and click the "Download" action, below the "Driver - Universal Print Driver" table. Opt to save the driver, as the download file has the setup application that is needed to install it.
4. Double-click the setup application's icon from its new file location on your hard drive. The HP installation application will open automatically.
5. Click "Next" to proceed to the first installation steps.
6.Select all of the HP recommended installation options, and click "Next" to begin copying the driver's files and components to the computer.
7. When the HP installation wizard asks, plug the HP LaserJet 1320 USB sync cable to the USB port, located on the back of the printer hardware. Connect the other end of the cable to an open USB port on your computer.

8. Click "Finish" to complete and conclude the HP LaserJet 1320 series driver installation process.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Yes a normal Printer USB cable (2.0) will work.

Try changing USB cable. Your USB cable might have got corrupted.

Your usb2.0 to parallel cable might be incompatible. If you have usb port on your printer use it. But check if this is really capable of doing that. Example even the straight thru usb to ps2 doesnt work as expected, there something some communication capability before it can run.

Here a manual for printer you can check it.

1.check the cable compatibility
2.install the driver HP laser jetIII

Just downloading the PCL5 driver was not enough for my computer. Maybe it is enough for other users' computers. But in addition to downloading the drivers, i had to also download and install the "HP Laserjet 1320 plug and play print driver solution" at the bottom of the driver list. Save the file to your desktop, double-click it and follow instructions to install, then reboot. Then when I checked my printer list, the HP Laserjet 1320 was there. I printed a test page, and now i am good to go. Hope this helps.

Better if you get USB HP printer to use with it. The only way to use that what you have it to get a printer server that supports parallel cable and connect the print server to your router using Ethernet LAN cable.

well..you may find that driver here, though

The HP LaserJet 1320 has a USB port and a Parallel port.

The HP LaserJet 1320n has a USB port and an Ethernet port.

USB-to-Parallel converter cables, like this one, are designed to attach a parallel device to a computer's USB port.

But you need to do the opposite (attach a USB device to a computer's parallel port). A USB-to-Parallel converter cable will not do this.
