  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02681060

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

    Hope that answers some questions.

  • Designjet 130: Two printers Designjet 130 do not print with Windows 10

    I have two printers Designjet 130. Both work fine with XP/Vista/Windows 7. They do not work with 10.

    I spent 20 hours trying to get these things to work with no luck. I tried TWO different machines running windows 10 does not. These printers are running via a USB connection.

    I can install, make the printer by default and PRINT TEST page! I can also print from the HP Scan DR who assures me that all is well. However, when I go to a program such as Notepad, they will not print. Notepad returns an error "The deal invalid. I tried researching this message, but it leads to good spirits more that I can understand.

    My machine is a processor Intel X 5960, 32 GB of memory and a motherboard Asus x 99 Deluxe.

    I tried to launch the installation of the HP software in a variety of modes compatible with no luck.

    I'm out of ideas other than to roll back my 7 software, which I really don't want to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok. I finally solved this problem. I went to the HP site and even ONCE downloaded the driver Designjet 130.

    Download driver on Dec30, 13:34 had a 2 652 k file size

    Today at 11:53 driver has a file size of 3099 KB.

    Maybe they (HP) fixed.

    Maybe my original upload has been altered.

    Very simply:

    Connect your printer. Windows will find and automatically install the USB printing as well as a device driver option. This driver won't work, however, you end up being able to print a test page. This ultimately will always be a false confirmation. The driver version 7.00 is for Vista, Windows 7 and 8. It doesn't work in either compatibility mode.

    Go ahead:

    Go to devices and printers.

    A series of beautiful graphic icons opens.

    Double-click your printer.

    Double click on "customize your printer.

    Go to the about tab.

    Check your installed printer driver version

    10 Windows will install default v7.00 and will keep you in saying he has the best version

    available. Don't believe that.

    The Hewlett Packard scanner DR software will tell you the same thing.

    Do not think that either.

    You want to version 8.10. It is available on the site of HP in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Download it. I unzipped in a folder on my desktop.

    Now, go to the Device Manager.

    Scroll down to "printers". Click on.

    Right click on your printer.

    Click on "Update driver software"

    Do not click on the first option by default.

    Do not click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

    Click on "Search for driver at this location software '-specify the folder on your desktop and select"include subfolders. "

    Click Browse. The software will make a satisfying update.

    Return to the file "Devices and printers" and the option "customize your printer.

    Double-click. Return to the 'About' tab and confirm that driver version 8.10 is installed.

    Close to everything and to print something.

    Just to check myself, I printed my second document to confirm a nagging doubt.

    The impression is confirmed. Good year for me and anyone else reading this.

  • HP LaserJet 6 p printer range does not print with windows 7

    I installed the drivers that came with Windows 7, but the printer does not print. I run the diagnostic tool; It removes the work and says it's fixed.  It is not the case. HP says they cannot help.   I love my 6 p and would rather not have to buy a new printer.  Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Windows 7 does NOT support printer HP laserjet 6 p.  It is a HP note:models 6L and 6 p in the LaserJet 6 series are NOT supported in Windows 7  I got and downloaded the driver on the Internet somewhere by typing: driver of HP laserjet 6 p.  You can check the box to add printers over the Internet.  I'm not looking for the process.  Try and I hope it helps.  In the meantime, I'm troubleshooting why my 6 p prints (parallel to 6 p and USB for laptop HP cable).  Don't forget the impression of 'biodirectional' is not checked in Ports (USB001, 2 or 3) place (lower-left) in Device Manager. Right-click on your printer, you will see 'printer properties '.  I say that linear, but you will get it.  Let us know.

  • HP LaserJet p1006 is not printing with windows 8

    I have a HP Laserjet P1006 and recently installed Windows 8 on my computer. I downloaded the drivers for windows 7 and down them in a mode of compatibility with the installed printer. The problem is that, although it is said that it is printing something, nothing happens. The computer says that it has communicated information about ot the printer, but the printer is not printing. I ran the torubleshooter and it says that the printer must be connected to a USB 2.0 port. Not only my USB 3.0 is backward compatible (I checked), I have even a hub USB2.0 connected to the printer. There is no error message, depending on the computer, all right: but the printer is not printing. Help please?

    You should probably wait until the official drivers are released. The driver page I found for LaserJet compatibility with Windows 8 said that he should be released "Spring 2013", so it should be available soon.

  • C4480 does not print with Windows 7

    I have a HP C4480 all-in-one printer. It worked fine with Windows XP. Since I upgraded to Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed the compatible version of the HP (v13.0) software I can't print from any application. I can print alignment page and test page and I can scan, but when you try to print from any application I get the normal print message and the document is added to the print queue, but no printing happens and the queue is empty.

    After installing HP Print Diagnostic Utility (Utility of diagnosis HP Print), I found that the driver I had installed from HP page had a compatibility issue. The proposed solution was to uninstall the driver, disconnect the cable from the printer, restart the computer, and connect the cable again so to make Windows Installer the driver and then I was able to print normally.

    Now my mind is at peace

    4. click on the paper/quality tab

    5. Select the best mode

    6. click on apply

    Now try printing from Excel, you still get blank pages? Please let me know the results if you are still running into errors let me the following information:

    1. What is your current operating system, Windows or Mac and what version?

    Hello JMG121250

    For any future reference do not include you the serial number in the forum posts.

    On a much lighter note, you will find the driver download page. Simply choose your version of Windows 7. I asked you the entire CD because it is more than likely that it contains only the driver Windows XP or Vista.
