My client purchased an HP LaserJet Pro M501 USB printer, but I can't
get it to work in an xHarbour app. Prior printer was a Kyocera
FS-4000DN that worked fine but died. I've tried several different
drivers for the HP printer but no luck. Can someone recommend a low
cost USB printer that works in the xHarbour environment? Or maybe a
recommendation on how to get the HP printer to work?

TIA

What OS? I assume the Kyocera was an older printer than had no new driver updates.

If Win11: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-printer-hp-laserjet-pro-m252-problem/36e429f7-d96b-4578-b188-fceecd627065
.... may or may not be of help.

How are you selecting the printer in the application? How do you reference it code? Are you depending on an LPT1: mapping of anything?

Hi Scott:
I use an HP Envy Series inkjet Printer: Model 6455E . It is USB plus Wireless.
Works great on my Win 10 Laptop. Also works with a Harbour app. But I haven't checked it on an xHarbour app yet.
But I'm running a series of txt2gdi print jobs and testing output. Seems to work as expected.
I bought this machine in Arizona a few months ago for $159.99 + Tax

Thanks for the replies guys. Finally located a Postscript driver that
worked.
