• Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

  Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

  

  If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

  The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

  I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

• Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

  I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

  It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

  .. .for a while.

  About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

  I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

  I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!

• Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

  I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

  The problem has been resolved.

  HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

  When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.

  Hello

  In Control Panel, open administrative tools and select abuse.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

  Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

• Photosmart Prem C310: Printer does not appear in the list of printers - but is on the list of devices and printers

  I'm used to be able to print perfectly in any program.

  Now, I can print from Gmail - or I can print from this forum, however in Publisher or Word, or a genealogy program I use, the Photosmart is not one of the available printers listed.

  When I go to Device Manager, I can right click on all the printers I have and see a long list of options, such as set as default printer.

  But on the Photosmart, I right click and only get 4 options; create a shortcut, troubleshoot, remove the device and properties.

  I downloaded new printer drivers and went through Assistant support, rebooted, unplugged and replugged etc.

  I can't understand this one!

• How can I remove errors shown on my PC in devices and printers in Windows Pro 8.1

  Here's what I see

  Of course, I get anumber of error when you try to print or after printing.

  I'm not able to see the "Printers" section in the screenshot, but it seems that the printer has not been installed correctly.

  Your HP LaserJet printer properties box says: "the drivers for this device are not installed.

  If you recently updated to Win8.1 of Win8, it is likely that you need the new drivers of Win8.1 software.

  If this is the case then uninstall, reboot, then re-install both of your printers using the HP Win8.1 drivers.

  I would also setup of the Firmware updates that are available for models as well.

  1. navigate to Panel > hardware > printers and devices.

  2. click on your printer icon, and then on the menu bar, choose "Print Properties Server"

  3. in the tab drivers , you can install a driver...

• M276 - Win7 - cannot install the printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003eb)

  Hello

  I have encountered this same problem after charge a laptop Win7 twice.  When the problem occurs, the laptop is impossible to install any printer object on the machine of any provider in the field of devices and printers.  We use the latest solution of complete software from HP.com.  It is a USB printer installation situation.

  The scanner and fax functions are able to install without problem in Device Manager.  We can run the scanner with the HP software without any problems.  However, the print in Device Manager device remains in the category other devices and fails to install every time.

  Anyone has any ideas on where to start for this one?  See the attachment for a screenshot of the error when executing addition MS one assistant of the printer.

  I was able to solve the problem for now.

  We tried a number of solutions:

  1 Add/Remove from Device Manager

  2 Add/Remove tab of device drivers drivers and printers

  3. Uninstall and reinstall with the latest software

  4 charge the laptop

  5 disable HP Smart Install

  6. create alternative USB printer objects in devices and printers

  7. Mrs. FixIt 50979 and 50984

  What ended by us to install the object HP Printing in Device Manager is a manual cleaning of the two areas.  Once these areas have been cleaned for restart us the print spooler, manually pointed objects in the Device Manager for the the driver files on the machine and finished the installation wizard triggered AutoRun automatically power off.

  We have removed all the contents of this folder:

  C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86\3

  We have also removed all HP registry entries in this area:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3

  It was of course a pain in coming to this conclusion, but at least my user works again and be able to print.  Time will tell whether or not something will come and corrupting its Setup again.

• Cannot use the printer wireless

  I use Windows 7 and my computer is connected to the internet. I can't print wireless, I was able to before but not now. The printer is wireless and shows that it is connected. I tried to reinstall the printer, following the programs in case of problem, but everything for nothing. I was able to print a test page, but it happened once and now nothing prints. Another computer has no trouble printing to the same printer.

  What is the brand and model of the printer?

  How it shows that it is connected?

  What is the brand and model of your wireless router?  Please, look at the label on the back or the bottom of the unit and include any version of the material mentioned.

  This problem occurs quite frequently with wireless printers, usually when the printer has been turned off for a while during which other devices are connected to your wireless LAN.

  Printers almost all (if not all) are configured by default to automatically get an IP address from your router wireless.  When you initially installed the printer, Windows found the printer to this IP address and set up the printing system to direct its output to this IP address.

  If during the time that the printer is turned off you connected to other wireless device (for example, another computer or smart phone), the router can assign the originating IP address to the other device.  The router will then assign a new IP address to the printer.  The problem is that Windows is always configured to print to the original IP address... but the printer is no longer there.

  The solution is to assign the printer an IP fixed or 'static' instead of him to use its default value to obtain an IP address automatically.

  To confirm the diagnosis above, read the manual of your printer and either print a configuration page or use the LCD of the printer (if she has one) to show its current IP address.  Write it down.

  On the Windows 7 computer that does not print, open devices and printers.

  Select (click) any printer.

  Click on 'Print server properties' on the toolbar at the top of the printers and devices window.

  Select the "Ports" tab

  Scroll the list of 'Ports on this server' until you find the one for your printer.

  Expand the 'Port' column until you can see the full IP listed for your printer.

  If the IP listed here is different from the IP address by your printer, you will need configure the printer to use a static IP address.  If the IP address here is the same one reported by the printer, you have a different problem.

• No printer not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  This is quite disconcerting, and after a thorough search, I can't find an answer to work.

  Basically, I installed a printer on my machine here Win7Pro.  The printer can be printed from various applications.  However, the printer does NOT appear under devices and printers.  The printer appears under print management.

  The printer is an Epson color Stylus 2200 connected via USB.  The computer is a Dell D620 Laptop.  Win7 has been properly installed - no upgrade.  The printer is visible (for example) of Corel Paint Shop Pro X 2.

  Anyone has any ideas what setting I need to enable the visibility of printer under devices and printers?  Is there something other wrong here?  It's easily fixable?

  UPDATE: I just added a shared printer (connected to a WinXP machine brother 7040) networking for this laptop Win7 and it isn't too visible under devices and printers.  However, what is different here is that this printer is also not visible under the management of printing.

  Network connections are not in print management.  They should appear in printers and devices IS very disconcerting.  Normally, this will occur if the print spooler service is not running, but then your local machine would be displayed with a red indicator in printing management.

  I guess that you have a standard USB and not a parallel converter cable USB cable.

  Check the security settings for the properties of the printer.  Make sure that your user account is listed at least print access.  Devices and printers opens with the standard user security token.

• printer not shown in devices and printers - teacher of windows 7, 32 - bit

  I am running windows 7 Professional, and my parallel printer (hp laserjet 5 p) does not appear in my list of devices and printers. I can also access via my LAN.  It doesn't, however, work very well as my default printer. what I have to do to get on the list, I can change the attributes to share?

  launch printmanagement.msc, it is the tool provided by the spooler team to administer local printers

  Apparently the devices and printers will fire this printer on your computer if the parallel port is configured for the SPP.  If you right click on the computer in devices and printers, you can see the menu item printer properties there.    You can change the configuration of the BIOS of your computer.  If the parallel port is an addition on the map please let me know the manufacturer.

  But frankly printmanagement is a better solution.
