Cannot install the printer driver - windows encountered an error trying to install it

I need help with my HP f2180 printer. I have windows 7 and so far, the printer was working well. Recently, the printer has decided to not work and all my attempts to uninstall and reinstall the complete software of features of the HP of the site result in: FATAL installation ERROR. When I plug the cable USB printer appears in the control panel. When I try to upgrade the driver I get this message: "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. Extended attributes are incompatible. »

I can still scan and copy the printer but cannot print.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Brooke

    Hi azza675,

    ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and many others). What you describe, sounds like you are trying to convert a file * to * PDF. Have you ever started a trial of Acrobat, maybe? (So that you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF don't allow you to convert files to PDF.)

  • Mac OS 10.5 Hello cannot find the printer driver for P1606dn connected via a wired network.

    I tried to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I have connected the priner to my LAN via the Ethernet cables and Switch 8 port NetGear.  I then properly installed printer driver from the CD provided on the Mac and went into system preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of the connected printers.  Click on the button «+»  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (kind = Hello).

    I chose this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the pullodwn "to Print using" listed the message 'Please select a printer or driver model' greyed and a spinning wheel called 'Search for new drivers' appeared underneath.  The dialog box search but never find the printer driver (I waited for 20 minutes without success).  I installed some other HP printers in this way on this machine with no problems, for example, HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why this method does not work with this printer?

    I was able to connect to this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my house through this arrangement of LAN.  Is the printer driver for the Intel Macs only?

    I disconnected the printer from the local network and connected directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  The same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully print a document page.  Although it gives me a work-around for Mac G5, I need to share this printer with other Macs in my household.

    I went on the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on Mac and repeat the steps for the arrangement of LAN (above) complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog box.  The result was the same: spinning wheel looking for a printer driver are not.

    I don't know what else to do, or why this facility will not work.  I would much appreciate it if someone could give an explanation for this or any suggestions as to what can be done?

    I'm sorry to get back to you on this so late.  I was OOT Sunday all day.

    Ok. So, here is what happened.  As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I was in the process of resetting my printing system, repair disk permissions, then restarting.   Reset the printing system wiped out all my printers in the "Printers" pane in the "Print & Fax" system preferences dialog window  I moved forward and fix permissions of the drive on my system disk.  A number of authorities have been repaired, but nothing that I could decipher impression related ro.  Finally, I restarted my Mac and went directly to the dialog box print & Telec.

    As the printers pane was still empty, I'm gone before adding the simplest of my printers (LaserWriter 360 connected via AppleTalk) who has always been correctly added to the list printers in the past.  No chance!  WAITED a few minutes everything is was "Looking for new drivers.".  I tried the Color Laserjet 2605dn.  No luck.  Then the Laserjet P1606dn.  No luck.

    Thus, this way of solution did not work, and now I was without any driver associated with one of my connected printers.  I decided that I had no choice to rebuild the operating system.  I started my DVD of Installation OS 10.5.4 to rebuild my system (without reformatting my HARD drive).  Once which was finished, I've immediately went to the Print & Fax dialog box and tried to add in each of my printers.  In a few seconds the LaserWriter was added successfully, then the HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and FINALLY, the Laserjet P1606dn.  Thus, it appeared that my upgrade to OS 10.5.8 was at the origin of the problem.

    I proceed with Sofware Update to restore the computer to OS 10.5.8 and again once, went to the dialog box Print & Fax to experiment with the addition of each of the printers again.  Stopping before the acceptance of each 'Add', I could find quickly and successfully the drivers for each of the connected printers.  So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with OS 10.5.8 find printer drivers.

    After reflection, I concluded that the problem must have appeared during the upgrade to OS 10.4.11 OS 10.5.4, but it remained hidden until I tried to add these new printers to the list of printers.

    I appreciate the reference to the last download Laserjet full feature software.   Since I was able to solve the problem without it, I mind not do the download.

    I want to thank you for patiently stay with me during the last two weeks, your advice and comments.  Just having someone to "talk" about it, it was reassuring and useful that I went along to apply each suggestion to the problem.  I tried to solve this problem several times on my own before that, the search of the forums, and I hesitated to participate actively – to reach out.  I'm feeling very different about it now.  Once again, thanks a lot.

  • Cannot add the printer driver for Deskjet 1010 on Mac OS 10.9.5

    I installed the printer driver on my Mac Mini running 10.7.5 almost without problem (Finally, among the first impressions really get a glimpse of accentes, but that was only once and can be another problem) and it print fast and well. But now I try to add this printer to my MB Pro runs 10.9.5 and he's still that software can currently not be loaded from the server (since 2 days now).

    I guess that means that my Mac Mini, which probably only has drivers for the oder to OS X. I also tried to install the drivers directly (downloaded from Apple support pages) but always without success. I always get this horrible message.

    He resolved myself: connected the printer via the USB port, which has installed the driver. Then I could remove the local USB printer and use the network printer.

  • New computer cannot find the printer driver

    Just got a new computer and now I can't use the printer wireless.  Help

    OK great. First thing, I suggest you do is:

    1. Go to start - Control Panel - programs & features
    2. Scroll through the list and locate any attempt installation of software/driver for your HP Photosmart D110
    3. If the list, uninstall and remove all components of the HP Photosmart D110 (be sure to select this particular device)
    4. Disconnect the USB connection or remove wireless attempt * (if any)
    5. Follow the prompts on the screen, including any necessary reboots
    6. Start the computer and to go to this site for the latest driver for your device-> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-80511-1&cc=ie&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4062&product=4023246&sw_lang=
    7. Download and install, support to follow all the screen instructions - do NOT connect the USB or try a wireless connection until the installation program invites you to do
    8. Re-attempt to print from your computer once the installation of the driver is verified and complete.

    * just as a side note - a wireless connection from a PC to the HP Photosmart D110 is possible only if there is a present wireless card/adapter in the computer. It is more likely to be present in a laptop or a desktop computer. If this is the case, a USB connection is your only option for a desktop computer.

  • Cannot find the printer Laserjet 5100 for Windows 7 driver

    I have a HP Laserjet 5100 printer installed on a computer running XP that is on a network without internet access working group.  I have a new Windows 7 computer to the same workgroup.  I want to print documents created on Windows 7 computer with the Laserjet Printer, but I need to install the printer driver Windows 7 to do this.  The drivers of HP support site says the necessary driver is built into Windows 7, but it tells me it's name or I would like to download it.  Suggestions on how to find or download the driver or what is called?

    Hi micror,.

    Drivers for Windows 7 are only available online through Windows Update...

    If the specific computer is unable to access the web, you can download the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    As you the not mentioned your operating system type, you can find the two options below...

    If you are not sure of your type of operating system, follow the steps below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02033168

    For the edition of 32-bit operating system, use the first result, 64-bit for the third or the fifth option (that very of your processor type, wrong that does not...)

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=LaserJet%205100

    To download the Microsoft driver, first add the required file to the basket.

    Then click on view basket and follow the download link...

    Because the packet is compressed, you will need to use any archiver program to extract (for example Winrar).

    Last but not least, as a printer is installed on Windows XP can not be automatically shared with the new client OS you need to add drivers to manually as follows:

    1. After you download the right driver to extract it to a temporary folder.
    2. From the Client (Windows 7) go to printers and devices and click Add a printer.
    3. Select this option to add a local printer
    4. From the port selection screen you can create a new port by selecting a Local Port.
    5. In the port name fill a \\HOSTNAME\Sharename prefix
      • To locate the host name of your HOST computer (XP PC), made a right click my computer and select Properties, the hostname will be listed on this screen...
      • To locate the name of the share go to printers and faxes, click right-click the printer icon and select Properties... Then, go to the sharing tab and appears the share name.
    6. Continue add it an assistant of the printer and the driver selection, click on disk... Browse ocntaining pilots the INF folder from your printer.

  • Driver HP PSC 2355 - cannot find a downloadable driver - Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    OK - when I plug the printer to the USB port on the PC, I get an error message saying cannot install driver.
    I then went through the whole "Add a printer" boxes dialog, then in the "Failed to Load" set of dialog boxes and in the end find that there is no downloadable driver for this printer that is available online.
    I tried to find a version also only get the same result.
    Help please...

    There is a driver for it in Win7 (I used to have one of them before the scanner engine bed is dead). This is how I got it to work:

    Go to devices and printers, click on "Add a printer" at the top of the page. Select "Local printer", and then "Use an existing port", and then click Next. When the "Install the printer driver" window, click "Windows Update" down. It can take a minute or two to complete, depending on your connection. Scroll down to "HP" in the left pane, and then select 'HP PSC 2350 series' drivers in the right pane.

    If the printer is already present in printers and devices, then select it and choose 'Print server properties' at the top of the page. Go to the tab drivers, and then click Add... at the bottom of the page. Then click Next, next, then "Windows Update" and follow the same procedure as before.
    You can also delete a driver that has not worked in the tab drivers using this method.

    If you get the error message "Windows update is busy. Try again later", go to this site http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=psc%202350> and choose the driver you need (the result of research found 121of them), download and install it.
