HP LaserJet 1320tn Driver

The HP LaserJet 1320tn driver connects your HP monochrome laser printer to Windows, allowing applications to send print jobs and access available printing options. If you’re setting up this network-ready printer, moving it to another computer, or troubleshooting printing problems, choosing a compatible driver is an important first step.

Key Features

• Reliable printing: Helps Windows communicate with the printer so you can print everyday documents, reports, and correspondence.
• Print settings control: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, resolution, and automatic two-sided printing, depending on the driver selected.
• Paper tray configuration: Lets you configure available trays and paper sources so print jobs use the intended paper supply.
• Network setup support: Enables printing over a local network when the printer is reachable and its network address is correctly configured.

How to Install HP LaserJet 1320tn Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check your system architecture. For this older model, driver availability and installation methods can differ across Windows versions.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your HP LaserJet 1320tn driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported operating systems and printer models. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your setup; a newer package is not automatically compatible. Prefer a free download from HP’s official support resources or a driver supplied through Windows Update.
3. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer. For a network installation, connect it to your local network and find its IP address on the printer’s configuration page. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable.
4. Install the driver. Run the downloaded installer and follow its prompts. If the package has no installer, use Windows’ Add Printer option and select the extracted driver files when prompted. On Windows 10/11, you may need to add the printer manually by its IP address.
5. Verify the setup. Print a test page, then check duplex printing and tray settings in Printer Properties. If printing fails, confirm the selected port and connection before reinstalling.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible update addresses printing errors, security concerns, or Windows compatibility. Check the release notes before making changes, and keep a copy of a working driver so you can restore your previous setup if needed.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installer fails or stops at “printer not found”: For USB, connect the cable only when prompted, run the HP LaserJet 1320 series installer as administrator, and select the PCL 5e driver. For network use, assign a static IP and create a Standard TCP/IP port.
• Device not detected: Confirm the 1320tn is online and ready. Try a known-good USB port/cable, or ping the printer’s IP. If no port appears, add the printer manually with Add Printer and the correct USB or TCP/IP port.
• Version conflicts/old driver errors: Remove existing HP LaserJet 1320/1320n/1320tn queues and drivers in Print Management, reboot, then install one matching PCL 5e or HP Universal driver. Avoid mixing PCL 6 and UPD entries.
