Cannot install my printer HP Photosmart c 4780

To install my printer in Windows 8.1, a "System cannot find the specified file" message on the computer. I have a dell Inspiron 20 model 3045. It won't even download the driver. I think it has something to do with my user account. I tried to change the file to .old as hp hpoins.dat on their Web site, but it still does not work.

Hello
Follow the steps below and check if it solves the problem:

1 open the Mcafee Virus and Spyware Protection software you are interested in, click on calendar and perform analyses. Click analysis in real time, and then click stop. Select until I restart the PC and confirm by clicking the button turn off.

Now, try to reinstall the HP software and check if the installation goes as planned.

If the problem persists, continue following the steps below:

2. open the dialog box run by clicking on the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type %windir%, and then click OK.
3. type hpoins*.dat in the search bar at top, if there is that no result rename the extention in old instead of dat. (e.g. hpoins1.old)
4. type hpwins*.dat in the search bar at top, if there is that no result rename the extention in old instead of dat. (e.g. hpwins1.old)
5. start the Run dialog box by clicking the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /Unregister. in the Run dialog box and click OK.
6. launch the Run dialog box by clicking the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC/REGSERVER in the Run dialog box and click OK.
7. run the installation file and check all difference.

Kind regards

  • Cannot install driver printer for Photosmart C7180 All-in-Ohe

    It is a complicated mess.  My operating system is Vista Ultimate.  It started with a print job stuck in the queue.  When I did as indicated by a technician of HP, and I did not yet do not forget that I was told to do more, after a reboot, the print job is still stuck.  I spoke with another HP tech and finally, he told me that I need to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall.  It wouldn't reinstall, and I got the error message "HP Recovery to install plugin has stopped working".  Then I learned from another technology that the pilot was incompatible with IE8 and I had to uninstall IE8, install the printer driver, and then reinstall IE8.  After uninstalling IE8, it was still impossible to install the printer driver.  I got the message error "HP Installer preinstallateur updated plugin has stopped working".  Another technology, the fourth in the order, said it was a Microsoft problem.  I called Microsoft and got a tech who has done everything in his power to circumvent the problem and this is what I have, workaround.  I can print from my desktop via my laptop, that is shared over a network and who does not have the printer driver installed.   The technology of Microsoft told me it was a problem of HP.  How can I get the driver reinstalled on my desk?  I keep getting the error message "HP Installer preinstallateur plug-in update has stopped working," if I try to load the printer driver on the HP or my installation disc download site.  Any help would be most appreciated!  I don't want to buy another printer when this one worked very well except for a print job stuck in the queue!

    I am answering my own post!  Took a chance and bypassed the recommended installation and custom installation.  When the custom install window that is displayed, I selected all the elements and the printer driver installed!  Hooray.  Now I'm still wondering how to get a print job stuck out of the queue - he would not cancel.

    Thank you.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor is not (winprint)

    According to the scenario:

    DC1 in site 1 runs Windows Server 2012 Standard, printing and Document services are installed. Many printers are installed and work.

    DC2 in site 2 is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit, printing and Document services are installed. I want to install printers that users in this site must be able to print with.

    Same printer exist in both sites. In Site 1 on DC1, I was able to properly install the driver, add the port and installed the printer.

    I took the same driver DC2 and installed. I created the Port with the IP address of the printer but when I finish the Add Printer Wizard I get an error message saying: cannot install the printer. There is no winprint print processor.

    I was looking in many forums and before you ask, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\winprint key does not exist on two domain controllers (tried to create thispost), but makes no difference.

    The winprint.dll file does not exist in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 directory on any of the machines, but is located under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 on the two machines.

    There seems to be no difference in configuration between these two machines, but as I mentioned abov, on DC1, I'm able to add the printer, and I'm not on DC2.

    Is there anything I can do to get the job to the printer on DC2?

    (And for those who ask why install on a domain controller, there is no member server in this site).

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,
     
    In addition to the suggestion of Palcouk, follow these steps and check if they help.
     
    Step 1:
     
    After you download the drivers from the manufacturer's website, right-click on the Setup file and run as administrator.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Temporarily turn off UAC (User Account Control) and try to install the driver.
     
    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor does not exist.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I am able to install HP LaserJet printers but no virtual printer.  I can not load the XPS from Windows printer or Print to OneNote.  I also tried to load more than one PDF printer and none of them work.  The error I keep gettig to "cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist. »

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    My laptop has been reloaded from a picture, and I was not able to start the print spooler at all. I have studied the issue and cleaned files and registry entries and was able to print on real printers, but not virtual. That's when I asked the question.

    Finished reimage the computer again, and once again, I could not start the print service. We discovered that the image that the laptop was built from was actually a VMWare virtual machine, so we started to look in that direction.   We had to delete the following entry in the registry and rebooting, how the print spooler began to work very well.

    [Print HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint for VMWare Port Monitor]

    You wanted to post this in case someone else ran into a similar problem.

    This is what worked for me.

    I copy the files from the print processor from another machine to work with the same architecture as the one who has the problem (x 86 or x 64).

    Step 1: Stop the print spooler service.

    Step 2: Copy all the files and folders on the system to work under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.

    Step 3: Make a backup of the system files listed in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 problem.

    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the system of work in the case of the United Nations, the problem system.

    Step 5: Start the print spooler service.

    Try to connect or install your net printer and it should work now.

    I hope this work for all of you.

  • Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

You have a solution other than what answers are already in this forum.  I uninstalled and reinstalled tried wireless and usb, installation driver separately, tried to install it in safe mode, run now utility scan.  I think that the problem began with an update of Windows 7 which has hung up and eventually having a corrupted file?

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

    If the problem persists, contact the printer manufactrer for assistance
