HP Laser 1008a Driver Download

HP Laser 1008a Driver enables the computer to recognize this print-only laser printer over its USB connection. During setup, the software identifies the printer so the operating system can send print jobs to the correct USB device. After installation, the driver translates document and print-setting data into instructions the printer can process. Because the HP Laser 1008a uses a direct USB connection, the driver is part of the local computer-to-printer setup rather than a network printing configuration.

HP Laser 1008a Specifications

The HP Laser 1008a is a monochrome laser printer, not a multifunction machine. Scan, copy, and fax parts are absent, so the hardware is limited to print work. A single black toner cartridge feeds the laser engine for text output. The front panel keeps control simple, using Power and Cancel buttons plus LEDs for power, toner, and attention warnings.

Black output reaches up to 20 pages per minute on A4 paper. From ready mode, the first sheet can come out in as fast as 8.3 seconds, which matters more for short document jobs than the full engine speed. Sleep recovery is listed at as fast as 18 seconds after 15 minutes. Best black quality reaches 1,200 x 1,200 dpi with ReCP processing. SPL is the print language, and two-sided pages need manual duplexing through the driver rather than an automatic duplex unit.

Paper loads from one 150-sheet input tray, and printed pages collect in a 100-sheet output bin. That output capacity is lower than the input tray, so long print runs may need attention before the tray empties. Standard sheets cover A4, A5, A5 long-edge feed, B5 JIS, and Oficio. The same feed path also takes DL and C5 envelopes. Custom sizes can run from 76 x 127 mm up to 216 x 356 mm, with listed media weights from 60 to 163 g/m². Plain paper, labels, cardstock, bond paper, archive stock, and envelopes sit within that range.

A nearby computer connects through one Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The 1008a does not carry the wireless hardware found on the HP Laser 1008w, so network-free USB setup is the expected connection method. Inside, 64 MB of memory works with a 400 MHz processor. The duty cycle reaches up to 10,000 A4 pages, but HP’s recommended monthly volume is much lower at 100 to 1,500 pages. With its trays closed, the body measures 331 x 215 x 178 mm and weighs about 4.18 kg.
