2600n: printing on Windows 10 always prints to the file rather than to my 2600n

I bought a new laptop which had 10 (64-bit) Windows installed already.

When I connect my 2600n printer to the laptop via the USB port and attempt to print anything, the print function recognizes the 2600n is available, but the software behaves as if I chose the option to "Print to file" instead of send data to my printer.

On the Microsoft Web site, I tried a Windows 10 compatible driver for the 2600n.  I had to download the Microsoft Update catalog that I searched.  The catalogue lists the 2600n, but it does not list Windows 10 like it in support.  The latest version of windows that supports 2600n is Windows 8.1.

HP has a driver for the 2600n that works on Windows 10 (64 bit)? ... or where can I find?

I noticed that my 2600n is not the default printer.  Even though I chose the 2600n for the print operation, Windows 10 boiled corn have a bug in the driver and it always sends to the default value.  The default is to print to a pdf file.

3 times in 3 different ways, I tried to change the default printer to the 2600n and my attempts have been ignored.
The 3rd time, it looked like it changed the default printer of what I wanted, but when I went to use,.
It's the same old problem.  Then I left the print operation and came out from the browser where
I tried printing and did something else.

I used the NotePad editor later, when I thought I would try to print something new and this time it worked.

Apparently change the default printer has not taken effect properly and I had to get out of the service where I was doing printing before it would work.

So the solution is to change the 2600n to be the default printer... and wait a little and do something else.
out of everything you did before you try again.

    How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?

    I found the info in this post...
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-files/for-Windows-7-can-i-print-a-listing-of-what-is-in/b233cbeb-647d-4E32-ae1f-8523d62b2dc9

    Here, a link takes me to an article at this link...
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321379

    This article explains then that I need to download and run blindly 'Fix - It' application to obtain the simple ability to print a directory window... but it does not say what I'd do once downloaded the general application of "Fix - It" to get this option which should be part of the Windows 7 basic features first.

    Or, the article told me that I can "modify the registry" (?) in order to get the print option window... but I know that by having a character moved when editing the registry, it can bring down the entire computer and make it completely unusable.

    Those are really the only options to print all simply a window?... in addition to several screenshots and melted together in Photoshop and then print this image?

    Why not just give Windows 7 a 'PRINT' button under 'FILE' as other operating systems have always done... has always done Windows default this feature?

    This seems just crazy... This misunderstanding?

    Thank you

    NuMetro

    I tried to copy and paste the name of the window... This time I tried while holding down the SHIFT key and it sticks anything in Notepad.

    This is not what I've proposed.

    • Select the files whose names you want to print. CTRL + A selects all.
    • Hold the SHIFT key, then right click on a file and select copy in the path from the context menu. This will put a list of filenames (path) to the Windows Clipboard.
    • Click inside a document, and the stick.

    Have another go.

  • How to print all the files in a folder without having to open each one?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to print all the files in a folder? I often need to print multiple files in a folder and it would allow me to save a lot of time!

    Thank you!

    I've done some testing, and it seems that Windows 7 allows print several files when they are all the same type of file.  So, for example, you can select and print 15 Word documents, but not a Word document and a single PDF document.

    To work around this limitation, you can print each file type separately.  For example, to print PDF files in a folder:

    1. Type *. PDF in the search for top-right box.
    2. For 1-15 files, press on CTRL + A to select all the.
    3. For 16 or more files, select 15 of them (click on the first, SHIFT + click the last).
    4. Click any file, and then click print .
    5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

  • Files window is always displayed at the top

    Since the upgrade to CC (could also be a problem in CS6, can't remember), files window is always displayed as the top of the window. I love having her fill a good part of my monitor so that I can easily see the files by ftp next to local files and also to see dates of the files. If I want to work in a particular file, I open, I have to close my sites window. Even more, when I leave Dreamweaver open in the background and switch to another application, the files window will always show above all else on my screen.

    Is it possible to change this behavior, or should it be reported as a bug. I'm working on an iMac running Mountain Lion.

    It seems after that run a lot of CC will update this morning, the problem seems to have disappeared now. Don't remember if Dreamweaver made the updates or not.

    If resurface the problem, I downloaded Jing and will post a video cast of the question.

    Thanks for Sidney respondent.

    How can I fix this error.

    Media Center worked fine until I installed SP3.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you have experienced, but don't worry, we are here to help solve the problem and guide you in the right direction.

    Ehshell.exe is a Windows system file that is used to run Microsoft Media Center. It is not a critical system file. However, the ehshell.exe file can become infected and cause errors trying to run certain programs. If the ehshell.exe is absent, it can also cause errors. Reinstall a clean copy of ehshell.exe with the Microsoft System Restore.

    (a) click on the "Start" menu, then click on "programs". Scroll down and click on "Accessories," then "system tools." Click "System Restore."

    (b) click on 'Next' in the system restore window to view a list of points of restoration which has been archived.

    (c) select a restore point created before the ehshell.exe file becomes corrupt or got deleted. If no restore point until this time is listed, click on "Show restore points more" to select the one that is before this date. Click 'Next' to choose which restore point.

    (d) click on 'Finish' to start the system restore. The computer will restart once the process is complete and the ehshell.exe file is reinstalled.

    If the problem persists, follow these steps:

    You try to run the following commands to re-register all Media Center services:

    (a) close Media Center

    (b) click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd , and then press ENTER.

    (c) in the command prompt, run the following commands to type (or copy/paste) the one at a time and press on enter:

    · Regsvr32.exe atl.dl

    · C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehl Sched /unregServer

    · C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched/service

    · C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer

    · C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr/service

    · C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer
