  • HP Color LaserJet CM 2320fxi: how to remove printing HP and doctor Scan

    Recently, I downloaded the HP Print and Scan doctor, but now he jump - rises whenever I connect to my computer. It's very annoying. How can I get rid of this programm. I deleted you download fr has also removed the programfolder and the shortcut aswell. Help, please? Thank you very much.

    I see that you are unable to scan / install with HP Officejet Pro 8600 Windows 8.1 computer, I would like to offer a helping hand. I would you run the Installation Wizard of HP printer on the computer to acquire the software, it will download and install for you. Which is to remove the PSDr on your computer, you should be able to just drag the icon to your trash can (on the desktop). Of my knowledge and use of the PSDr is not installed on the computer, it will extract temporary files whenever the icon is open. If you want to delete temporary files, you can press the Windows key and R on the keyboard (from the desktop) and it will open the box run. Type %temp%, and then press ENTER, search the 7z files and delete them (you can delete all files and folders from here, if you wish). I read on the computer problems, you are seen and cannot delete printing and scanning Dr. My suggestion would be to try a clean boot, and then once the computer restarted, access your control panel and uninstall tool.

    1. Search for, and starting with 7z folder (example: 7zS2356)
    2. Open the Util folder
    3. The CCC folder
    4. If you have an HP computer, run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a computer not HP, run the L4uninstall.exe
    5. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    6. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
    7. Click Start and then click Run.
    8. In the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then click OK.
    9. Click Start and then click Run.
    10. In the Open box, type msiexec/regserver, and then click OK
    11. Run the Accessories\ System Tools Disk Cleanup
    12. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash, now we can restart the computer
    13. Download and install the software by clicking here > HP drivers and downloads

    I hope this has helped.

  • 300 satellite - cannot connect printer

    We have 2 Toshiba laptops, the other more old works perfectly and printing wirelessly via the NetGear print server, just bought the satellite 300 and no matter how hard I try cannot get the laptop to print wireless - can go through all the installation procedures, says he recognizes the printer, but as soon as I press to print the test page , he returned to "error".

    I then have to remove printer, uninstall the plug in the USB cable, plug-and-play drivers involved and I am able to print via usb cable, but I really want to print wireless!
    Can anyone help?

    The two notebooks use the same operating system?
    I mean that so old works with Windows XP Home edition and new with maybe Vista you don't have good drivers Vista. Who knows what is the problem here?

    In my opinion, you should contact the manufacturer of the printer and ask what can be the problem. If the WiFi on Toshiba laptop working fine and you can connect it to your router for Toshiba is the end of the story.
    Please don't get me wrong, but all questions with external devices are clarified with the manufacturer of the product. They have enough experience with own products and I'm sure they can help you about this.
    Do you agree with me?

  • Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

    When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

    Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

    Thank you all for your comments and help.

  • Cannot remove iCloud backup of my old iphone

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 6 s iPhone yesterday. Activation and downloading my settings and applications from the iCloud went perfectly. I am now trying to delete the backup of the iPhone 4 on the iCloud, so I can have enough space to save my iPhone 6 s. I get a message, "this backup cannot remove because it is in use". Any suggestions?

    Hi Poppabear5,

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you have a problem with deleting your iPhone upward iCloud. Let's see if we can understand what is happening.

    The type of message you see, looks like your iPhone 6s is not made backup upward. The best way to confirm this is to see if it is possible to make a backup with your iPhone 6s and see if Yes see a message in the sense of "this iPhone is currently being restored and will back up automatically when it's done.". If this is the case, then you want to wait for the restore before you delete the backup. Another thing to think about is if you still have your iPhone 4, make sure it is not turned on and backup. It would be considered in service as well.
