• "Devices and printers" is empty, crashes, empty

  Hi all:

  Sincerely, I apologize if my problem has been resolved already.  As the title says, when I opened Orb-> devices and printers he always appears empty. I tried every associated bluetooth post, including the upgrade of drivers, check the BT services (both) are running, the suggestion to use the script from cmd registry IE8 etc.  Virtually all positions were point to BT, so I disabled, uninstalled all drivers, reactive, re-installed, etc.. At each step, I tried the devices and printers with the same results.

  Adding a few details:

  1. My printers installed works perfectly
  2. My scanner installed and works perfectly
  3. 2 phones with BT installed work perfectly, including: make a call, transfer files (both directions), listen / control the music player, navigation via a modem BT internet
  4. As with the devices and printers, printers and devices-> devices Bluetooth is also empty (even using BT with success)
  5. This is my 4th W7HP Installer but my first with BT others have no problems in this area to all the
  6. It is a brand new Asus 1201N, built-in BT, all the drivers have been pre-installed, model Broadcom BT, 2, 25 GB HD, Atom 330.
  7. Printers and drivers was empty of the first point in the course of which the BONE has been configured after first power upward.
  8. All my machines have a C: for the operating system and a separate D: partition called USERDATA. Never had a problem with it in Vista or W7. Very convenient for restoration (see below).

  I'M PULLING MY HAIR looking for a solution without success.  I'm using Paragon Disk Backup so I don't mind my registry hacking or other configs and I am brave enough (crazy hardy?) to try almost all the suggestions, because I can always do a full restore of the OS Partition.

  Appreciate any comment. Please, no 'check your BT services. Been there, done that.

  I just tried this and this FIX works...

  Click the Start button, type "services" in the search programs and files. This will display a list in the menu, select Services. "This should open a list of local services on your system..., Find ' Bluetooth Service" and make sure that it has begun, click right and put on 'automatic' (mine was already fixed), select 'Bluetooth Support Service' and start, set to automatic (mine was set to manual).

  Really weird. Joel, can you please explain.

• Devices and printers is empty

  Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I read all the advice given previously, but still do not see anything in devices and printers.

  Things arise in Mode safe mode but not in cleaning Mode.

  Bluetooth and printer spool show as automatic.

  I tried scannow but who told me only it were corrupt and referred me to the CBS logs that I can not open, not even the command prompt - I enter the string as shown on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/928228/en-us and nothing happens, not even an error msg.

  I did a check of memory, I've updated the USB driver which was presented as a problem in safe mode and nothing has worked.

  Help, please

  TIA

  I use Windows 7 on a computer to which a printer is connected directly by a USB cable.  I am able to print, but cannot find the printer when I run control/devices and printers Control Panel. In fact, no devices appear at all.

  Can someone help me with this?

• Windows devices and printers, no work

  When I click on the Start button, then click on devices and printers a blank window opens and a slo-o-o-seniors green progress bar makes its way across the top of the window. But it stops just before the end and stayed there so the window is never completed. This isn't a window I regularly so I don't know when this started. Any ideas please?

  This can happen if some services (spooler, bluetooth etc) are not started correctly. See this article for detailed troubleshooting steps. One of the measures listed should help.

• Devices and Printers dialog box empty

  When I opened my "Devices and printers" dialog box, it is empty; nothing shows, and registration of the order of the day says "0 items.

  Printers appeared in the devices dialog box and printers and devices box earlier, but now are gone from the dialog box.  However, they are still in the system, everything seems to work.  The problem of trying to define the preferences for the devices and printers, because they cannot be seen or accessed.

  Anyone got ideas on how get the devices and printers will appear again?

  Devices and printers will show a device when you set up multiple printers for the same device.   There is a passage outwards the menu to access all the other printers on the device.    Use teams of spooler UI, printmanagement.msc to display all local printers on Pro and Ultimate.

  The old printers folder can be launched if you run Home versions.

  Open a command prompt and paste this in.

  Start shell:::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

  I had exactly the same problem. All my printers and devices work as expected, but no icons appear under devices and printers.

  I use Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

  I followed the advice on a previous page to simply run the tool 'Fix It '.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2793718/en-us

  I ran the "Light version" of tool Fix. It restart my computer now and all is good!

  When I opened the window devices and printers, all my printers are now appear.

• 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.

• 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.

• Photosmart HP 7520: 2 printers appear on devices and printers

  I'm not technical so need help to understand why when I look in the control panel under devices and printers 2 printers appear.  We're the printer default HP Photosmart 7520 series (network) and the other is HP96DC72 (Hp Photosmart 7520 series).  I've included a snapshort of the properties of the two printers appears under devices and printers.  I combined 3 pictures into one.  Point 1: shows the properties under the default printer with the menu drop down list 2 printers, reason why two of them?  Point 2: shows the properties for the second (HP96DC72) indicating that it is a printer web services.  Point 3: displays the properties of the default printer.

  Can someone explain what the hell this is all about?  I have a printer, but defined it in my router as a printer for printing, although I him have not used for this purpose again.

  Any comments will be appreciated.

  Thank you... Ralph

  

  Hello

  Those are two logical printers, and you can use both:

  1. the first condition is connected to your WiFi network normally.

  2. the other is directly connected, you can print even when your network down.

  Kind regards.

• 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.

  For return options have been lost, you need to uninstall and reinstall using the latest drivers from HP. This should retrieve all of your options.
