Cannot be set as the default printer Officejet 4500

I installed a printer wireless Officejet 4500 on Windows XP and it works fine. On a Windows 7 computer that is connected to the wireless network I "added" the OJ4500 that has been properly installed. Although it appears in the "Printers and faxes" window it can be defined as printer by default and does not appear in the list of printers, when printing. I downloaded and installed the drivers from HP, but still I am unable to access the printer under Windows 7.

Download and install the drivers from the HP website solved the problem on the Windows Starter machine.  No need for other answers.

  • Canon MG5450 cannot be set as the default printer, error 0 x 00000709, please help!

    Hello MS community.

    I'm lost, I tried several things to solve this problem, but could not succeed.
    My system is:
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, stable and works well with a score of 5.9
    My printer has been installed and deleted 3 times already and I tried both set up as a network printer or a USB connected. At the moment I installed it as a USB, but this will not let me install the default printer.
    First the printer is accessible and print successfully from Word, ACDSee and some other applications but is not recognized by Adobe such as Photoshop & Acrobat products and does not Excel print. I know that this error has been discussed in several other threads, but yet I could not find a solution that worked.
    I tried to repair the registry as following the instructions here about something else:

    (a) click Start.
    (b) type regedit in start search and press enter.
    (c) access the site mentioned below.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

    (d) in the right column, you will find key device, change the value of your printer name.
    (e) it is for example in the format: "HP LaserJet 4250 PCL6, winspool, Ne03:

    (f) right click on the value and click Rename, replace with the name of your printer.

    When I try to change the key it doesn't let me, even if I ran regedit as an administrator. It is said:

    Cannot change the device: error writing to the new content value. I wanted to put: series of Canon MG5450 printer, winspool, draw:

    even if in the example, she said winspool, Ne03. I thought I could leave I had in default.

    i also see another key which is:

    Load REG_SZ C:\Users\-(my user name here)-\LOCALS~1\Temp\mshikra.bat

    This also I do not know what because if I go to this folder this .bat file is not present.

    I also tried this tool:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

    and when he said will analyze it: series of Canon MG5400 printer is not the default printer, and then I clicked on fix it and id not said, not successful.

    Now I don't know what else to do.

    The only true left to try perhaps would be to reset all the settings of the printer (the printer connects to the home network with the wifi password) may disable the wifi wireless option, if possible. Switch it off and remove all the entries of the printer and try again to install it, but then perhaps on the administrator account.

    ideas? suggestions?

  • HP1510 0 x 00000709 can not set as the default printer

    I installed my new HP1510 printer on computer with Windows 7, but I can not set as default in Control Panel printer, get error message 0 x 00000709. This means I can't print a PDF file as my previous printer, which I uninstalled it, is always shown as default in Adobe Reader. I can print emails ok. Please help as I bought the computer to print a PDF file!

    Hello lanto17,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you cannot set the default printer and are experience PDF problems. Please, try the following steps to answer all your questions:

    Click Start, type Regedit in the search bar. Right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Now, find the following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

    You will need to give this key all permissions. To do this:

    (a) right click on the key that you need to change and/or delete. Click on "permissions...". »

    (b) click on 'Add' in the window that appears.

    (c) there will be an empty box under "enter the names of the objects to select. Type "Administrator" (without the quotes), then click on "check names".

    (d) an administrator name appears, click 'Ok' when it does.

    (e) you should be able to select the profile (click) the administrator under "group or user names. Once you click on it, click on "Advanced".

    (f) click the 'owner '.

    (g) click on the Administrator profile, then put the checkmark in "replace the owner of subcontainers and objects".

    (h) return to the "Permissions" tab, then make sure the Administrator profile is selected.

    (i) in the "Permissions" tab, put a check in each box available. Boxes will probably accompany "Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object" and "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.

    (j) then click on 'change '. Put a mark chark in "Full control" under allow. Click Ok. Now click on apply (you may receive a message of Security window, simply click 'Yes'), and then click Ok.

    (k) out of the registry, and then restart the computer.

    The last step is to restart the print spooler. To do this, type services.msc in the search bar. Right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Find print spooler and stop it, then start it.

    Now try to set the default printer like PDF files and printing. Let me know what happens. Thank you!

    Have a wonderful day!

  • How is to send the native port of the printer command, when the printer is set as the default printer?

    I installed on a Windows XP printer and set it as default printer.

    I also have the manual provided by the manufacturer of printers, which defines the

    commands that can be sent over the serial port, then the status of the printer

    is extracted.

    Thus, for example, by sending an order consisted of 3 bytes: 34,56,78 to the printer (COM5) COM port

    I can get an answer advising me on the State of the printer.

    However, when you send this command to COM5, I get the following exception:

    "The given port name does not start with COM/com or is not resolved to a valid serial port. Parameter name: portName. »

    for which the printer vendor insisted on request microsoft support center.

    The port name of the printer is properly set to the correct a (COM5).

    Any ideas?

  • Change the default print for all printing on OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus

    OfficeJet Pro 8600 more

    I want to change the value print factory set in the default print setting. I want the documents I send to the printer via AirPrint to print in black and white, not color.

Is this possible?

  • How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

    Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

    PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

    1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
    2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
    3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
    4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

    As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

    For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

    Thank you for your help in this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Larry A. Coates

    Hi larryc57256426,

    You can set your default printer following the steps mentioned in this document KB change the default system printer.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium error 0 x 00000709 cannot set the default printer

    I bought my new HP Officejet 6700 Premium on February 1, 2013. I use a HP Pavilion dm4 laptop under Windows 7 Home Premium. The installation seems to give no problem. However I'm unable to set the default printer and have the error message 0 x 00000709. Excel, Adobe, Outlook does not allow me to print.

    I spoke to the HP printer Department February 1st and they sent me some software of diagnosis which I sent back. I called again on 6 February and was told my problem was always open and they were trying to reproduce the problem (it appears on the net without a patch work). It is now February 10, and I hope the good people of HP to recall with a solution soon. You try to run a small business with no printer is not ideal.

    Someone at - it else ecountered this problem, and you have a solution.

    I ran HP utility, installed uninstalled the driver etc etc etc.

    I seem to have fixed the problem by changing in the registry keys. If HP wants a donation to charity, I would be happy to provide it to them :-)

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125-M126: cannot set the default printer

    quick response is appreciated,

    Hi @darshan9 ,

    I see that you have problems affecting the default printer for users and you cannot print over the network.
    I'd love to help you.

    Do you mean the configuration of individual computers with the printer on the network users, or a computer with multiple users?

    You have administrative rights on the computer to make changes?

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.

    I suggest you to check if you have another account user or an administrative account.

    I also suggest to create a new user account and check if you are able to set the default printer.

    Create a user account. Create a user account.

    If you're still having problems, run the Fixit tool. Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer.

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

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