• Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

  Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

  

  If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

  The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

  I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

• Computer listed under devices and printers in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I was wondering, is your computer itself supposed to be listed under devices in the peripheral zone and printer to Windows 7? Or is it a driver problem.

  Thank you

  It's normal.

  In addition, only connected external devices or devices that can be removed will appear in devices and printers.

  Hi all.  I normally wouldn't have a problem with that, but I must be missing something.  I want to create a home network or small business between my desktop running windows xp pro sp3 and my laptop running windows 7 Home premium.  I want to share files and printers.  My desktop with windows xp computer is connected to a wireless router.  The printer is connected to my desktop as well.  My laptop is wireless with the wireless router.  I tried everything I can think of to get these two devices to the network.  If anyone can help.  Don't forget, my printer is connected to my desktop with windows xp and is connected to my wireless router which is connected to my cable modem.  Internet works fine.  the laptop with windows 7's wireless and internet works fine.  just impossible to get the two see each other or share what anyone.  Thank you.

  With respect to the sharing of printer (s), microsoft has a utility called 'Print Migrator'

• Photosmart 5515 shows like a scanner in Windows 7 devices and printers

  Product Photosmart 5515-B111H (CQ183B) running on Windows 7 PC. Software seems to have loaded ok. When the install window appears the USB and other connections are indicated, USB has been selected but the connection does not appear on the next screen.  When I looked at devices and printers from the start screen, the 5515 appears as a scanner without the attributes of the printer.  It disappears when the 5515 is disconnected.  How can I connect the printer properly?

• Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

  I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

  The problem has been resolved.

  HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

  When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.

• Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

  I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

  It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

• No printer not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  This is quite disconcerting, and after a thorough search, I can't find an answer to work.

  Basically, I installed a printer on my machine here Win7Pro.  The printer can be printed from various applications.  However, the printer does NOT appear under devices and printers.  The printer appears under print management.

  The printer is an Epson color Stylus 2200 connected via USB.  The computer is a Dell D620 Laptop.  Win7 has been properly installed - no upgrade.  The printer is visible (for example) of Corel Paint Shop Pro X 2.

  Anyone has any ideas what setting I need to enable the visibility of printer under devices and printers?  Is there something other wrong here?  It's easily fixable?

  UPDATE: I just added a shared printer (connected to a WinXP machine brother 7040) networking for this laptop Win7 and it isn't too visible under devices and printers.  However, what is different here is that this printer is also not visible under the management of printing.

  Network connections are not in print management.  They should appear in printers and devices IS very disconcerting.  Normally, this will occur if the print spooler service is not running, but then your local machine would be displayed with a red indicator in printing management.

  I guess that you have a standard USB and not a parallel converter cable USB cable.

  Check the security settings for the properties of the printer.  Make sure that your user account is listed at least print access.  Devices and printers opens with the standard user security token.

• printer not shown in devices and printers - teacher of windows 7, 32 - bit

  I am running windows 7 Professional, and my parallel printer (hp laserjet 5 p) does not appear in my list of devices and printers. I can also access via my LAN.  It doesn't, however, work very well as my default printer. what I have to do to get on the list, I can change the attributes to share?

  launch printmanagement.msc, it is the tool provided by the spooler team to administer local printers

  Apparently the devices and printers will fire this printer on your computer if the parallel port is configured for the SPP.  If you right click on the computer in devices and printers, you can see the menu item printer properties there.    You can change the configuration of the BIOS of your computer.  If the parallel port is an addition on the map please let me know the manufacturer.

  But frankly printmanagement is a better solution.

• Printers are not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium (x 64) for Windows 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade went quite well, but none of my printers did not work after the upgrade.  The software warned me that for my Brother HL-1240 driver could be a problem, so I wasn't surprised, but my HP Inkject 2230 Business also did not work.

  The two initially appear in devices and printers.  But I deleted and reinstalled to get the upgraded drivers.  As I did, I realized that I had given wrong directions LPT ports to two printers.  However, now, printers do not appear in devices and printers, but appear when you access via other software.  I need to remove so that I can redirect the output to the correct printer, but can not find anywhere to remove.

  Help!

  Steve

  Most likely devices are appearing as part of the computer or the parallel card in devices and printers.  Do a right click of the side card or computer, if you have a printer properties menu item is the printer you are looking for.  If you have ultimate or use Pro printmanagement.msc whenever you need to change something with local printers.

• Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

  I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

  It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

  .. .for a while.

  About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

  I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

  I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!

• Why does my drive usb 2.0 portable external hard appear under devices and printers and not under computer (Windows 7)?

  I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on.  Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive.  Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"...    Thank you for your understanding!

  Thank you for your helpful answer.  I tried all through and including uninstall NTI Echo without any resolution.

  During the process, I found myself 'Computer management' which includes 'Disk management' where I saw the external hard drive in 'offline' status due to a conflict of signature.  I clicked to the external drive to go "online" and now, it seems to work fine and is visible to E:
