• Why does my drive usb 2.0 portable external hard appear under devices and printers and not under computer (Windows 7)?

  I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on.  Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive.  Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"...    Thank you for your understanding!

  Thank you for your helpful answer.  I tried all through and including uninstall NTI Echo without any resolution.

  During the process, I found myself 'Computer management' which includes 'Disk management' where I saw the external hard drive in 'offline' status due to a conflict of signature.  I clicked to the external drive to go "online" and now, it seems to work fine and is visible to E:

  Thank you, once again!

• 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.

• Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

  I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

  It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

• Printers are not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium (x 64) for Windows 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade went quite well, but none of my printers did not work after the upgrade.  The software warned me that for my Brother HL-1240 driver could be a problem, so I wasn't surprised, but my HP Inkject 2230 Business also did not work.

  The two initially appear in devices and printers.  But I deleted and reinstalled to get the upgraded drivers.  As I did, I realized that I had given wrong directions LPT ports to two printers.  However, now, printers do not appear in devices and printers, but appear when you access via other software.  I need to remove so that I can redirect the output to the correct printer, but can not find anywhere to remove.

  Help!

  Most likely devices are appearing as part of the computer or the parallel card in devices and printers.  Do a right click of the side card or computer, if you have a printer properties menu item is the printer you are looking for.  If you have ultimate or use Pro printmanagement.msc whenever you need to change something with local printers.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Unknown PC shown in devices and printers

  Original title: does anyone else have access to my computer or is a microsoft program?  The name of the PC / multimedia is Tina.

  When I opened my device and printers today, I see that a (pc) device under multimedia that is unknown to me?  Author is Microsoft and the State is in offline mode and the properties are unknown.  Does anyone else have access to my computer?

  Hey Jeannie,.

  Unless you have given access to your computer to someone, there is no way that someone else can access your computer.

  Devices and Printers window shows the devices that are plugged into the computer. Usually, the first PC icon you see will be the name of the computer. Make sure that it is not the name of the computer.

  -Type of Panel in the Search and then click on system and security category and choose the System.

  -If the name of the computer and the name displayed for the PC icon in devices and printers are the same, then you need not worry.

  If it's something else, then go into devices and printers, click with the right button on the PC icon and click on remove device. Restart the computer to ensure that the changes are applied.

  Hope this information is useful. If you have any questions, let us know.
