Hp Printer Error W2 Invalid Pers
if it means invalid personality which I suspect it does, could it perhaps mean that there is a postscript simm installed that doesnt belong to this printer.If you open the side door that contains the memory chips (you have to take off the side coverfirst) is there a chip in it (other than a mere memory chip) and what is the serial no on it?Ian by unknown on Jul 23, 2003 at 9:17am Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 The way I understand the "W2 INVALID PERS" message is that a job sent to the printer is unable to print it, because it doesn't have the correct personality, to do so. It is a warning message, not an error message. An example is, a postscript (PS) job sent to a printer that that just has (PCL) personality. In this case, a PS ROM chip would need to be added to the printer for it to be able to convert the job properly. by Anonymous on Jul 23, 2003 at 12:18pm Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Could it also be that the driver being used is the wrong one: eg could the job be being sent to a Postscript driver when it is a PCL job, or ivce versa? by unknown on Jul 23, 2003 at 1:18pm Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 It is definately a driver problem. I just installed my HP Laserjet 4 using WinXP and got that message. I at first used the Laserjet 4/4M PS. This is a Post Script driver and not the right one so, of course the error appears. (I had at first not seen the correct driver in the list!) After using the correct driver for only Laserjet 4...no problem! by unknown on Aug 1, 2003 at 12:41am Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Dear Doctor DudeIt appears you were using a postscript driver for the printer when theres no postscript simm installed in the printer.Should you need or wish to print in postscript, you will have to get the simm postscript chip and put it in the printer.Funny

I'm a virtual computer illiterate idiot, so bear with me, Tom. thanks for the help. Expert: Tom replied7 years ago. Some HP printers have in printer setup have a choice between auto,postscript or pcl.If you do not see that choice then we'll assume it is just PCL already.

They have great software for this printer at gimp-print http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php Delete your printer and reinstall it. Then choose the gimp print driver instead of the HP.
