Cannot find printer in Photo Gallery.

My hp color inkjet printer appears in the printer of the Photo Gallery window but my hp laserjet resources and white isn't even if it is marked to the default printer.  I like to use the laser for many scanned documents but I can't seem to figure out how to get the laser on the list in the photo gallery.

Hi gkrandolph,

Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

You can follow the steps below:

Method 1:

Set the printer you want to use as the default printer:

1. click on start, type control printers in the start search box, and then click Control printers in the list programs.

2 right-click the printer that you want to use and then click on set as default printer.

Note: A check mark on the printer icon indicates that the printer is now the default printer.

Method 2:

Sometimes this is caused by incorrect registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to delete the corrupted registry entries.

However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Windows will not open photos says windows cannot find the file (photos have been saved he previously said)

    Thank you

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. Form when you try to open pictures? Is it in Photo Viewer?
    2. What type of files you are trying to open?
    3. You are able to open the photos in the Photos App?
    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    5. You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the utility to search and index and check.

    a. press the Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.

    b. click on Troubleshooting.

    c. Select display all on the upper left corner.

    d. perform research and solving problems of indexing.

    Method 2: Restart the Windows Search service and check.

    (a) press Windows + R key and type "services.msc" and press ENTER.

    (b) locate the Windows Search service and right-click on it.

    (c) click Properties and check that the start option has been activated.

    Method 3: If the problem persists, I suggest you to run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner free is a downloadable security tool that allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Cannot find printer / computer

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 J611which a printer prints perfectly wireless or if the software is not installed, although it won't scan without software.  When I install the software, it works neither prints nor analyses.  What impression of the task goes to the queue but has not status and the scaning the printer says that it cannot find the printer.  I tried different cables and USB ports. When I try to uninstall the software I get a 2081883395 error, and it will not erase the software.  I managed to download a software that did delete and I reinstalled, have the same problem, but can't find the software again to remove the HP software.  I tried to install HP disc and download.  What is a 208 error?  How can I remove this software?  And how to install the software without this error (maybe it can work)?  Thank you.

    Thank you for your help and suggestions, but I had to find someone to help me, because it turns out not to be a simple printer problem but more a Windows problem that seemed just to be more often on the printer than anything else.  But thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

  • LaserJet 200 color M251MW: driver software cannot find printer wireless HP Laserjet 200

    I have printer HP Laserjet above 200. It's worked great for me and another person in my office. However, I've changed computers, and no matter what I do, the driver cannot find the printer. The other person in my office can always print very well, and my old computer can print always very well. I have disabled the firewall, turn off network security essentials (it is not yet installed antivirus software), provided the IP address, network address, the name of the device, let the software to set up my connection Wireless for HP Direct print. I restarted the printer, restarted my computer, restarted the router wireless, connected the printer directly to my computer via the supplied USB cable. It does not find the printer. I can ping to the IP address of the printer and get a quick response. I can print to other printers on network in the building, I just can't connect using HP. !

    None of that helped him. What is strange, is that when I plug the USB in, it feels immediately there is a printer is connected. It starts to install the software, asking me to acknowledge T & C before you get a read error "unable to create the folder to extract webpack". I am an administrator on this computer and the network, and he gave permission to run. However when I use the driver from HP, it cannot find the printer, even with connected USB? The HP print and scan doctor finds the printer immediately, on the network, but then try to install the same software that does not find the printer.

    I have finally however solve the problem, the key was to not install all other HP services, other than those needed to print. Deselection of all the software options (components 6-8) allowed him to immediately find the printer maybe 2 seconds, select these elements and not found the printer. HP needs to offer a thin driver that actually works, rather than trying to sell ink, just something that allows you to print would be useful. It's frustrating to spend 6 to 8 hours trying to configure a printer when the problem appears to be with the driver.

    For others with this problem, run the HP print scan doctor, download the driver again through this software, deselect all option provided with the driver software and continue.

    To change the folder in which Windows Photo Gallery stores your photos click on file > options > go to the Import tab, and where it says register to select the folder you want to save to.

  • Cannot import videos using Photo Gallery - "the video device is currently in use"

    original title: impossible to import the videos using Photo Gallery

    Whenever I try to import a video with Photo Gallery, I get the message,

    "Importing video.

    The video device is currently in use.  Close any other program that is using the device and try again.  If you need to start import video, turn off your import device and then turn on again. »

    No other program does use the video device I can say.  I tried to restart my computer, but also a gallery of photos of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I can't seem to do anything other than give me this message.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I'm downloading an older video camera, using a firewire cable.

    Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you!

    Personally I remove sd card from the device and try this way.

    Then click on the Start button and the computer.

    Insert the sd card a sd card reader slot is available, if you need to buy one,

    You can access the SDCard like any hard drive, it is the list, and then select open, do a right click

    Manually, copy and paste the files into a new folder.

    If it's an older device, you can try the factory site and search for win 7 drivers for the camera first.

  • Cannot open the Web Photo Gallery in CS4

    In my CS2 PS Web Photo Gallery version was already installed. In CS4, is not. I downloaded the plugin from Adobe, but it will not appear when I say PS / file / automate. The address where I placed the folder is:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 bit) \Presets\Web Photo Gallery

    Does anyone have an idea why I can not access it via the PS4, version 11? I have to "turn on" in some way to the PS?

    Thanks, Airpix

    You have installed the presets for the web gallery, but you also need to install the plugin:

    II WebContactSheet in the folder plugins/automate

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) \Plug-ins\Automate

    Make sure that you install the 64 bit version of the plugin WebContactSheet II.

    Added the: included in the download is a pdf file that explains the exact locations

    where goes the different things.

  • WPSM54G cannot find print server and not able to print the test page

    After several days of trial and error I am so far I'm willing to give up and put this peace of equipment for sale. It is my last attempt to find a solution.

    I have a Canon MP510 printer connected to the print server and I managed to configure the print server so that it establishes a wireless connection to the router. I can see the ip address assigned to my router print server and I can log on to the configuration of the print server page.

    When I want to set up your computer (software print copy of the Canon MP510 print server) I can not complete the wizard. Step 1 is successful. It shows the print server and the MP510 related to port 1, but in step 2, I get a message that the print server can not be found.

    I looked on the forums how to solve. I already tried a fixed ip address to configure the printer manually but not any which solution worked.

    Your print server must be set to a fixed IP address, try this IP address: 192.168.1.78... Disconnect ethernet cable between your router and the PS... Both devices power for one minute cycle... Follow the link here after changing the IP address on the PS...
