2Software overview
The HP LaserJet 1010 series printers deliver LaserJet printing through a direct (local) universal
serial bus (USB) (or a parallel port on the HP LaserJet 1015). Network connections are supported
for the 1012 and 1015 models only via HP Jetdirect devices.
The printer comes with software for the following operating systems:
!Windows 95 (HP LaserJet 1015 only, printer driver only, not USB compatible)
!Windows 98 first edition (printer driver only)
!Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
!Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or higher, HP LaserJet 1015 only, printer driver only, not
USB compatible)
!Windows Me
!Windows 2000
!Windows XP (32-bit)
!Mac OS 9.x (v 9.1 and higher)
!Mac OS X v10.1 and v10.2 (Apple encourages OS X v10.0 users to upgrade to v10.1)
!Linux and Unix (drivers for the HP LaserJet 1015 are available on the web at http://
www.linuxprinting.org)
!DOS is supported only by the HP LaserJet 1015
The most recent printer drivers, additional printer drivers, and other software and documentation
are available from http://www.hp.com/support/lj1010. Not all software is available in all languages.
See the Late-breaking Readme document for the latest software information.
NoteLinux drivers for the HP LaserJet 1015 are supported by the Linux community. See http://

Installing the HP LaserJet 1010
4
NoteHP recommends installing the HP LaserJet 1010 series software before connecting the printer to
series software
the computer. Wait for the prompt to connect the printer.
Overview of software installation
This section provides information for installing the HP LaserJet 1010 series printing system
software using Windows and Macintosh operating systems. See page 9 for a list of the operating
systems supported by printer software.
The HP LaserJet 1010 series software is shipped on one CD-ROM. On Windows systems, the
Setup program installs the HP LaserJet 1010 series software from the CD-ROM to the hard disk
and updates Windows files. On Mac OS systems, the HP LaserJet 1010 series Installer program
installs the HP LaserJet 1010 series software from the CD-ROM to the hard disk.
On installation, you are presented with the following options:
!Typical installation (installs all of the basic components in the default locations)
!Custom installation (allows you to specify components and locations for installation)
On Mac OS systems, the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers use the HP LaserJet 1010 Installer.
Also, printer software will only install on the current system startup drive that contains the active
System folder.
NoteMoving the HP LaserJet Software folder after installation may cause the program not to work.
On all of the supported platforms, each install option presents you with a series of query dialog
boxes that guide you through the installation. The Installer will guide you through the installation,
whether you are configuring a directly-connected or networked HP LaserJet 1010 series printer.
The installer has the ability to detect hardware and network connections and help guide the
installation. For instance, if the installer detects an HP LaserJet 1010 series printer, it can
automatically configure the software’s connection to that printer. This saves the user several
steps.

Scrubber Utility
A scrubber utility is provided to remove files and entries that may not be properly handled by the
uninstaller. The scrubber runs in the followi ng ope ratin g system s: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0,
2000, and XP.
The scrubber program ("scrubber.exe") is an ini file driven program. The ini file ("scrubber.ini")
contains the specific information the scrubber executable needs in order to "scrub" any trace of a
product from the PC. The scrubber goes through the following functions in the order below.
1Run the uninstaller - The scrubber checks the system to see if it should first launch the
uninstaller. If so, the uninstaller is launched and run before the scrubber finishes.
2End problem applications - Any "problem" applications which are known can be added to this
list and ended when the scrubber runs.
Then the scrubber procedes to remove any remaining items. In steps 3-11, only the items that are
specific to the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers are removed.
3Remove printers and drivers - The scrubber enumerates the printers on the system and
removes any printers that use the specified driver. Print jobs pending for those printers are
canceled before attempting to delete the printer. After the printer is deleted the printer driver
is removed. The spooler is restarted on NT systems if an error is returned stating that the
printer driver is in use. The scrubber then reattempts to delete the printer driver.
4Remove language monitors.
5Remove print processors.
6Remove devices from the device manager.
7Remove inf files.
8Remove directories.
9Remove file s.
10 Remove strings from the device path key.
11 Remove registry keys.
The scrubber utility is available in the HewlettPackard directory on the Software CD. The ini file
and the exe file must be in the same location when running the scrubber. Execute the scrubber
from the DOS command line or Windows Run line.
When the scrubber is executed, no dialogs appear. It takes just a few seconds to run. The user
must restart after running the scrubber. If the scrubber is run from the host machine, a
scrubber.log file is created in the same location as the scrubber which helps diagnose issues if
they occur.

9Port communication
The HP LaserJet 1015 printer includes both an IEEE-1284 (parallel) port and a USB port.
NoteDo not connect the printer to the computer using both ports because printing results may be
unpredictable and this configuration is not supported.
Parallel port connections
If you are connecting the HP LaserJet 1015 using the parallel port, then the computer must
include a bidirectional data bus and cable. Ports are designated as enhanced capabilities port
(ECP), IEEE-1284, or PS/2 qualify.
Extended parallel port only (EPP-only) or unidirectional ports are not supported. However, some
ports can be set to EPP/ECP through the CMOS setup or a jumper setting, which is supported.
See Troubleshooting (page 105) in this document for parallel port issues and solutions.
Other parallel port devices
If connecting the HP LaserJet 1015 directly to the computer’s parallel port, then it is recommended
that you do not use devices such as a switch box, security dongle, or other device connected to
the same parallel port. Disconnect such devices prior to connecting and using the HP LaserJet
1015 series printer. Another option would be to have two parallel ports installed in the computer.
Parallel port expansion cards may be used, but they are not supported by Hewlett-Packard.
ENWWPort communication 97
Changing parallel port modes
This section provides the steps to make sure that the parallel port is configured to provide the best
performance with the HP LaserJet 1015 printers.
The mode for the parallel port determines how the parallel port performs with the HP LaserJet
1015 series printers. This mode can default to a number of different settings. Unfortunately, the
HP LaserJet 1015 software cannot automatically select the best setting. (ECP mode generally
provides the best printing and scanning performance.) Therefore, you need to check this setting
yourself.
Different basic input/output system (BIOS) options frequently exist within the computer
manufacturer’s range of products. Changing the parallel port mode is similar for all computers if
they have the capability built in. However, see the computer documentation for specific
instructions on changing the parallel mode for the computer.
Even though the label on the parallel port mode says ECP, it might not follow the protocol. If the
port mode option you choose does not work, then try another option in the Setup. If the computer
does not have the ECP capability built in, an external parallel port card can be installed to add this
functionality.
In addition to the parallel port mode being set incorrectly, there might be other areas of potential
parallel port conflict involving software and hardware from other manufacturers. If none of the
options in the Setup allow the HP LaserJet 1015 printer to talk to the computer, or you have other
devices that need a parallel port, you can add an external ECP parallel port card to your computer.
Then, connect the HP LaserJet 1015 printer to one of the parallel ports and connect the other
devices you have to the other parallel port. These parallel port cards are available at computer
stores and allow your HP LaserJet 1015 printer to communicate with the computer without
conflicting with other devices. For basic information on identifying and resolving device conflicts,
see “
To receive the most current printer status in HP Toolbox, on the Status tab, click Refresh
Status. To run Toolbox with debugging enabled, see page 112.” on page 99.
USB port connections
The Universal Serial Bus (USB), version 2.0 full speed, is also available for both PCs and Macs.
There is a distinction between a “USB Host” and a “USB Device.” The HP LaserJet 1010 series
printer is a “USB Device.” It can connect only to a USB Host or a USB Hub.
NoteWindows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 do not support USB cable connections and require HP LaserJet
1015.
98 Chapter 9 - Port communicationENWW
HP Toolbox and embedded Web server communication
The HP Toolbox includes an embedded Web server to provide the Advanced Printer Settings
functions of the HP Toolbox.
An embedded Web server resides in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers and the HP Toolbox
communicates with this embedded Web server. The HP Toolbox is installed during the standard
install process and runs in the Apache Tomcat Server (v. 4.03) and the Sun™ Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.3.1, allowing the HP Toolbox status and device configuration to
simulate an embedded Web server in a printer that does not contain a Web server. Status Client is
a native application that is part of the HP Toolbox software and runs on the user’s computer. It
communicates with the main HP Toolbox application. In addition to the HP Toolbox and Status
Client applications, the installer installs the Tomcat server and the JRE v.1.3.1, if it is not already
installed on the user’s computer. For more information on the Apache Tomcat Server, go to http://
jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html. The Apache Tomcat Server is open source software. For
more information on the Sun™ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) v. 1.3.1, go to http://
java.sun.com/j2se/1.3./.
