• Unable to add printer drivers 64-bit to a 32-bit Server 2003 Server universal

  I have a Laserjet 2015n that is shared on the network by a Secure Server 2003 R2 32 bit.  I'm trying to add 64-bit drivers for my Win7 laptop can access.  The HP site has only universal printer drivers, I downloaded but when I try to add them I get "the specified location does not a driver...". "because the 2015 isn't in the INFs.

  How can I get around this?  I've seen solutions that suggest the Win7 laptop to connect to the printer via the USB port and install the driver in this way.  It is a major business issue so that the solution is not acceptable. I also had someone suggest using the hpfx64bulk.sys file but I can't find an inf file that works with either.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello again Shlomi,

  I tried the fix you suggested and got the error "unable to install the printer.  The print processor does not exist.  It's the same if I try to install the drivers for the shared printer or existing TCP/IP port.

  What I did in the end, is to change the driver that I used on the 2003 server to use the universal printer driver and then the 64-bit option was available.  Simple in the end, I guess!

  Kind regards

• I have I can not reinsttall printer drivers or uninstall the old that I can't find. Help!

  I have windows xp and a hp color laserjet 2600n. He worked for many years, but now I get an error of queue and cannot use one of the microsorf office programs. Error prevents from print or print previews. I tried to go into the printer and fax folder but cannot as it won't come back. Also, I went into Add / Remove programs and see some drivers to uninstall. I tried to install new printer drivers, but they will not install.

  Any help appreciated

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

  AntiMailware MalwareBytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

  Cleaning of printers

  NOTE: If after completing step has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Instead, go to the other link and download and get and use the utility 'cleanspl' such as described here.

  A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

  net stop spooler
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

  More information

  If you do not have the CD that came with the printer, download the driver here--> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=446154&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=446153&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=228

  Personally, I would use the 3.7 MB "package of Plug-and-Play" rather than the 86.6 MB 'Full Software Solution.'  In general, you don't really need all packages of auxiliary software that HP bundles with its printers - but it's up to you.

• Need to know where in the system folder of Windows Vista, I can access the printer for a shared printer drivers .inf files

  I have a printer that is attached to my system down Dell Windows XP, I want to access the floor running Windows Vista from my Sony system.  I managed networked the printer so I can see it in my Sony Windows Vista network folder.  However, when I try to access it, it gives me the following error msg:

  The server to the printer 'HP Photosmart 1215 series' doesn't have the installed printer driver.  If you want to find the right driver, click OK

  Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or the original equipment for the printer driver manuafacturer.

  I advanced and clicked on "OK". and the system brings up a box for me to find the correct INF file to load.  I went ahead and tried the DRIVERS/WINDOWS/INF and a few other places, but has failed to find (any) of printer drivers

  Can someone tell me where I can get these?

  Download the appropriate driver from the printer manufacturer's web site.  If it contains a Setup program, run the program and when it asks you to specify the printer installation, create a local printer whose name is \\xpsystem\printer where 'xpsystem' is the charing system printer and "printer" is the name of the share.  This should create the printer.

  You can also expand the downloaded driver and try to add the printer as you did before, direct the installation to the folder containing the driver that you downloaded.

  Xerox does not provide drivers for wiondows 64-bit system.  How can I use my printer Xerox Docuprint N17?

  Use the Xerox Global PS from Windows Update driver.  You can download the driver or the add printer, create the TCP/IP port (or however you connect) click on the Windows Update page template and select Xerox from the list and find the global driver.  If you have a CD Server 2003 x 64, you can use the disk and point to the directory on the CD amd64.

• Windows 7 network printers (2 always be disconnected) * not SNMP * printer drivers

  I have 100 pc windows 7 on this network and only 1 pc is having this problem with 2 printers.  For 6 months now, I've been googling and trying to solve problems with 2 of its 5 printers showing "offline."  All printers are installed via the server here on the site in the same way.  And only 2 of them are continually have this problem.

  I changed the SNMP

  All printers are on a static IP address already

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer through the server

  I deleted the ports and reinstall them manually manually using add/add printer port Wizard

  I removed from the print queue and restart the print spooler on his machine and my server

  I reinstalled the spooler to print on the local computer

  I updated to the latest manufacturers drivers for printers

  Printers in question are a 7800 Xerox and a scanner/copier Kyocera 5050.  Al these printers work and operatin fine on all the other machines on the network here, even when this machine is displayed in offline mode.  I'm tired of this issue.  We 2 of us in serving this office and 7 remote offices to the tune of 300 employees (I know, its ridiculous), and I don't have an easy way to simply rebuild his machine as we're overwhelmed, it is a production machine / I don't have a machine of temp I can put on that will be all applications will need.  If someone has a magic that they can send in a box, I'd be beyond grateful.

• Fax print drivers work well through Microsoft SDK

  When you use printer drivers Fax and Microsoft SDK to print a file in WIN7 or WIN SERVER 2008 R2 txt, open the tif generated with windows photo Viewer, it displays error "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file seems corrupted, altered, or is too large. We note that, a little more than two pages, the issue can be reproduced.

  And then, we reproduce the WIN8 question with the same code, it works well.

  So, we think that the Fax driver may be a bug in WIN7 and WIN SERVER 2008 R2.

  Here is the code:

• Windows can't open add printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1)

  When I try to "Add a printer" in the Panel in Windows 7, I have "Windows can't open add printer." Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1). »

  I uninstalled all the other printer drivers (I'm pretty sure. How can I know?).

  It's an all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I can use the scanner very well. I can't add the printer.

  Thanks for responding!

  I tried several solutions and searched many forums. This has actually been a problem for some time now, and I do not know what facilities of printer driver broke.

  I did put a lot of thought into it and just posted stuff to the network and printed one of my other computers. It became a problem recently, when I was too lazy to get up and turn on one of the other computers. :-) I then decided that I just needed to fix it.

  I read all the posts I could find for each version of Windows treats this problem and tried each of them. I removed all the old drivers (at least I think I did. I couldn't find anybody would say, 'Here are the drivers installed.'). I downloaded the new drivers from HP. I edited the registry. I went to the folder/Windows/System32/Spool/something and deleted all. I searched all references to Lexmark (my old printer) and deleted.

  In any case, last night my boot sector failed, so I ended up reinstalling Windows. I just finished now, and the printer works fine, now.

  No,

  PS I'm sorry that this thread will be of no use to any person responsible research. I found a lot of them, too.

• Windows 7 XPS and OneNote 2010 Printer Drivers not installed

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Office 2010 beta on a gateway M285-e. I can't print XPS or OneNote 2010 file. When I go to check the properties of the printer, I get an error reading:
  "The 'send to Microsoft OneNote driver 2010 Driver' (or"Microsoft XPS Document Writer") is not installed on this computer."
  He asked if I would like to install the driver. If I say yes, it takes me to the Add Printer Wizard. Where is this driver? Why these drivers would not be in the operating system if the printer is installed by default?

  After asking a few friends and family about the suggestions I found the solution to my problem. Apparently the driver "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" had for some reason any been uninstalled. Do not know why. I was able to reinstall the driver after Microsoft had it implemented as a physical printer on a custom port. To install I had to find the brand and model of the printer (make: 'Microsoft'; model: "Microsoft XPS Document Writer") in the master list in the Add Printer Wizard and complete the wizard. This fixed the problem of the XPS Document. It also fixes printing on printer OneNote 2010 as well. I was never able to find the driver to print to OneNote feature, but apparently the feature depends on printing on XPS document printer. Setting the XPS print driver paper fixed both of my problems.
