Cannot delete the HP printing software

Try to remove the hp Windows software Panel 8 and reinstall from the disc. Receive message that says 'my printer a pending jobs', but the printer has been removed from the screen "devices and printers". I left a few fragments somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Hello-

Have you tried refreshing the page printers and devices to see if the icon shows up?

In addition, restart the PC. Then go back to the devices and printer and look for the printer icon.

If this does not work, try the following steps:

  1. First stop the print spooler. If you try to copy or delete all the items in this folder, the print spooler is started, you will get an error indicating that the items are in use.
  2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Usually, when you get to the PRINTERS folder, you will get a pop-up message indicating that you need administrator permission to enter the folder, and you need to do is to support to continue.
  3. There will be two elements in the file for each item in the print queue.
  4. If you copy the print queue, Ctrl + A to select everything in the folder, copy all the elements. Create another folder on the desktop and paste the items in this folder. (If you want to manually remove the job queue instead, you can simply remove the items at this time here.)
  5. Start the print spooler upward.
  6. You can uninstall and reinstall the printer at that time here.

I hope this helps.

  • Cannot start the HP printing software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello

    When I double-click the icon of the HP software on my desktop behavior strange results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After a while I get the following error messages:

    instancefinderdlg.exe

    werfault.exe

    Then after that - my computer restarts so all by himself. But not a complete reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I get my password from Windows and displays the desktop.

    I am running Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit). The printer is set to work wireless.

    After doubleclicking on the HP software icon and wait for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and open Task Manager. I checked the services running, and there were multiple instances of a service life of HP (I not only remember the name but there seems to be dozens of the same HP service running).

    I also completely uninstalled all HP software use Revo Uninstaller and then reinstalled the software / driver for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this package did not make a difference; exactly the same problem occurred again.

    It happened only in recent days. Before that, I could double-click the HP software icon and open normally and I was able to check the settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer seems to always work well - I can print in Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. Just, I can't open my desktop HP printing software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi jedasa,

You fill find the basic driver, study for improvement of the product, HP Officejet 8500 help. Be sure to do not uninstall other HP software, especially if your computer is a HP computer. I generally use the date as a reference. Printing software would have all been installed on the same date.
    4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

  • M651: Cannot download the HP printing software

    So for the last few months we have had serious problems trying to download the HP software and drivers from the HP support center. We have been able to the squeek by using older drivers and manually configure printers via web interfaces.

    However, today, we have an essential asset, which is getting an error, and apparently the patch will update the firmware of the printer (I'm talking about 99.09.67 error).

    So we have an asset that is down and we are unable to download the firmware from the HP website, located HERE.

    If there is any work around this very frustrating issue and nature, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I am able to download the firmware file on the HP site without any problems, the downloaded file immediately within 2 minutes.

    Try to download the firmware directly from the following link and check if this can work:

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL54097/FP-130552-9/cljM651_fw_2307851_000048.zip

    If one of these fails, with that I suggest trying another browser or a download manager, if even he still can help by communicating your guys TI and check if there could be no matter what local issue preventing your access to the site as the site of HP do not work as expected...

  • Machine of Windows 7 cannot see the new printer

    Again Deskjet 4625 connected to my LT on windows 8.

Printer shows offline, but I can see it on the ASUS router. Light is lit in blue on the printer.

    Hi there RNRMusicMan.

    Followed your advice, but the result was "software installed in vain."

    The Wifi is connected. It works fine on my laptop Win8 where all of the HP software installed OK.

    I also have had to print via Windows 7 via the Wifi but cannot install the W7 HP software and therefore no Scanner.

    I tried turning Norton. I tried a start-up in minimal mode, but without success. I have tried many other options of threads, but without success. Clearly the HP software does not like W7!

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.
