that means when the message tells me that the printer doesn't have a pilot - it's recording and the printer is working but does not connect to pc

This means that there is no driver installed on the system.  According to the printer model there may be a driver available via Windows Update or download on the website of the manufacturer.  If none of these options are available there may be a compatible driver that can be used by selecting a driver to a different printer model.

What is your printer model?

    Method 2:

    You can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

     

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

  • Can not get the printer to work under Windows

    I have a Brother Laser printer and a Canon ip8500 printer.  I tried to get one to run Windows XP Professional.  This week I installed the Hello printer software and it finds my printers but then I get this message "sharing is not supported for this type of printer.  When I click on settings in VMware, disabled the said printer icon.  If I close Windows and click on settings in VMware, the icon of the printer is enabled.  I'd appreciate it if someone could help me get one of my printers to work.  I must do something wrong and just can not understand.  I use VMware version 2 and Snow Leopard on my iMac.  Thank you.

    Hi @jotsol,

    I see you are having problems printing from Windows 10. I'd love to help you.

    I wasn't sure if you meant that you run Windows Update to update the drivers or downloaded the last.

    I would say to uninstall all old software of the printer, if you updated to Windows 10. Then, download and install the latest drivers from HP. color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.

    Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

    How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

  • After restarting my computer Windows Vista, I can not get the wireless to work.

    Re start my Vista and now l can't get broadband wireless, but before he started he was work ing great. Can anyone help please, or can I use my windows 7 on my laptop by paying a fee

    original title: Vista, broadband

    l cleaned my vista with my drive, everything works, but the broadband wireless

    Which means that Vista has erased my discs, how l can get the disks on my lap top?

    Actually - if you have installed Windows Vista from scratch yourself (booted from the Windows Vista support and followed along to do a clean install or use some CD/DVD by default) then you're the one who has erased your disks and all data about them.  In any case - your "wifi" does not indicate any wiping.  * smile *.

    If it's just a simple Windows Vista DVD, then * you * need to get all the drivers for hardware on this computer.  You may need to use a different machine (of course) in order to get the proper and then drivers transfer to them for the Toshiba by USB/CD/DVD.

    Is this REALLY a Toshiba Satellite L300-20 d?  (Click on this link to check...)
    The * number * of part is PSLB8E-0CK00YEN.

    You should be able to get the drivers you need here:

  • Can not get my printer to work - and no way of contacting HP

    OK, I have a mess.  I bought a new printer HP - HP 8600 all-in-one - N911a.

    He set up and worked fine for about a week.  Then I stopped working.  My wife says that she did that hit 'print '.  (in the meantime, I had to replace the hard drive, so I assumed that was the problem).  New drive hard, all re-installed, but I'm having the same problem with the printer.  Its not recognizing/no impression at all.

    I IYOGI they said that the printer must be bad.

    I connect through a USB cable.

    The computer says "unrecognized device" so I know that the cable is good.

    When I try to print the test page, it is just caught up in the print queue.

    I don't think that the printer is bad, I think that some his conflict with the printer stupid trying to be a network printer.  I'm not a respectable.  From time to time, the computer connects to a non-secure local network, but I did not.  I want to just plug in my printer dang!

    Why the world is so difficult?  And when HP stop supporting its products?

    Sorry, I am over 40 so I'm too old for this world and frustrated b/c it really cost me days to try to get all this done.  I swear, I'm going to just use a typewritter...

    OK, I FOUND a number on the HP support.  GUESS what the problem was?

    I plugged the printer into a power strip / surge protector.  It must be plugged directly into the wall.

    He has his own surge protection.

    It would be NICE that the manual says something about this...

    But mark this one RESOLVED!

  • Satellite Pro P100 can not get the screen to work again

    If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

    I bought a monitor to use when I am in the office (it's a LG Flatron L225WT), installed the software that came with it and plugged. Nothing seemed to happen, then in Toshiba HWSetup, I changed my power on the screen 'LCD + Analog RGB'.

    To cut a long story short, the external screen works perfectly now, but I cannot access the internal screen, even after changing the power supply on the display to 'Automatic Selection '. The Fn + F5 key does not appear to have any effect at all.

    I must have inadvertently done something to mess up the computer. Can anyone suggest how I could reset it back?

    TIA to all who can help you!

    -Laurence

    I put t know what laptop you have and don t know what OS you are using, but it seems that you have managed to set the external monitor as the main screen.
    You should change in display properties (right click on desktop-> properties)

    Somewhere in the settings, you should try to score the internal display (1) and should mark use this device as the primary monitor

    You won't find any similar settings or this will not help then set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. In this case all settings will be reset!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: can not get the printer to function after installing new wireless router

    I recently changed routers from D-Link to a Netgear R6400.  I could get my desk, the laptop and the i - Pad to connect to the new network, but not my HP Officejet Pro 8600 more.  When I try to change the IP address, which is what I think I do, the screen indicates "this feature has been locked by your system administrator or the one who put up the system."  I'm the only one using this printer and I put in place originally, but I do not remember 'locking' anything.  Will you please tell me how to solve this problem, so I can use the printer again.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP forum.

    A suggestion that we recommend is to uninstall and reinstall the software FULL of features.

    Alternatively, you can try the doctor print and Scan?

    Please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) tool to diagnose and solve your problem

    Got it... Finally!

    In my Tools.as file I had a static method named Split(Array,delimiter). I added this because I didn't like the stock of String.Split implementation... ie you get nothing if the delimiter is not found in the string, I wanted an array containing a single element in this document, the original string.

    in any case... There was a conflict of names with the Split method in the SDK because as soon as I changed the name of the method of SplitMeUp it worked and I got no longer error when loading of the WSDL.
