I'm trying to install the HP printing software, but the error message that the firewall must be enabled. However, I'm unable to turn on the firewall. The sytem keeps taking me in circels telling me I can '; t activate the firewall because the service is disabled.

Anyone have this experience? Suggestions to solve? Thank you!!

  • 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,

    I guess you can start to feel frustrated. I did some additional research and would like to try a few things. I want to delete the printer Assistant icon, open devices and printers, right-click on your printer and choose open. In the window that opens, please right-click on the Printer Wizard and click on create a shortcut. Now we can go to the desktop and see if it will be open from there. The icon will now by HP in a blue circle and say HP Printer Wizard below (see image below).  If it opens and works, we use this going forward, but if it does not continue with the steps below.

    1. Hold down the Windows Logo key ( ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    3. Unplug the USB cable (if connected), open programs and features, click Editor (all HP software will be together now) and uninstall all software associated with the printer. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    FTP://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...

  • I can not start the Windows Firewall service in Windows XP SP3

    I discovered this problem when I installed a new Brother MFC-7860 DW in my network. Although the computer can 'see' the machine, I can't print to it. The error coming from the troubleshooter has informed me that the firewall might be the problem. Now I find that I couldn't open the firewall. I tried the solutions in previous discussions. It seems that Windows Firewall is not yet installed on my machine even if the icons are in the control panel. When I tried MS Fixit for the firewall, it gave me an error and sent me to a web page that does not seem to address the situation. Help, please.

    (1) you have a third-party security software installed?
    This could be due to that... What are the analyses of different viruses that you already have... It may be a product of firewall or security of third parties that interfere the windows firewall, disable one by one your security scanners and try for windows firewall

    (2)if you do not have these installed firewall products, this could be due to malicious software or some other problem...

    If you have an antivirus up to date solution its definitions and do a full scan of the system...

    If you do not have an antivirus solution, or one does not work, use one of the recommended tools (use only one at a time)

    Hi Rob,

    You must install first Windows XP and upgrade to Windows Vista.

    If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, after you install Windows XP you can contact support for Microsoft's Activation to activate the copy of Windows XP.

  • Services of Windows Vista 64 does not, please help!

    Hi thanks for reading.

    Noticed the other day my firewall is not running. A few weeks ago my AVG anti virus asked me if I wanted to move to a premium account for a 30 day trial and contained their own version of a firewall. He said that he would resort to Windows Firewall when finished.

    30 days passed, and he asked me to return to the original settings and the free version. I don't check if windows firewall started running.

    And so back when I noticed.

    What Ive tried: Panel > Security > windows firewall - says "windows firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer" and there is a button for "update settings now" which when you click on it, I get the thing of glass hour for a few seconds and nothing happens.

    Run > services.msc > Windows Firewall - said State 'arrested' firewall service and when you are prompted to start, gives me error 6801

    Also noticed now that windows update and windows Defender will not be updated. Windows update search updates, but up quickly the code Error 80070426 and once again, to enforce > services > windows update/defender does not work.

    Then in flicking around, I have observed under the information system in 'computer' tab, he says: 'this copy of windows is not activated, click here to activate now' and Im thinking it is crazy! I have not had my PC very long, but I have activated vista right after that I installed it when buying. If I click on the link, and it says: 'a problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code 0x80070426

    Edit: just thought of something that can help. Awhile back, before this all started, windows update prompted me one afternoon to install Service Pack 2 and I thought "why not?" Well, after a complete system failure and me to have my friend rally and he manages to get into the command prompt and run 2 types of checkdisk, I go back to my computer. Now, I don't think it off anything, or whatever it may be disabled, but something could have been damaged?

    IM puzzled and any help would be massively appreciated! If anyone needs more info, let me know!

  • Cannot add the new printer port for Central Output Server 5.7 under Windows Server 2012

    I am my output of an old Windows box to a new server migration and have problems with the new ports.  I have 6 installed instances and the last looks OK, but all the others get errors when all output is sent to them, even a Windows Test print. I have them all the same thing, with the format \\.\pipe\jetform\server5 configuration port

    When I installed the software, I installed all 6 instances then went through and added 6 local printer ports - it seemed to configure them OK this first time.

    My test was then on the 6th and last instance and went well.

    When I wanted to test the other forums, I found all simply erroneous jobs on the queue for the printer.

    If I have one of these printers connected to the 6th port, it worked fine.

    I deleted one of the ports that did not work and I tried to re-add. Then I got the message "the system cannot find the file specified."

    I tried to add the port via the registry - he added, but would not yet print.

    Then I noticed in the output server control center, when I tried to stop Central and start one of them, I got the error "unable to connect to the channel named"\\.\pipe\jetform\server5.ctr"

    I use a domain account that is configured to run Adobe services, he is a Director of field with all required fees

    I modified the local security policy to enable users to add printer drivers.

    And I have now run out of ideas! Someone at - it a?
