Connect a printer HP Laserjet 4 parallel via USB using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - HELP!

I have a new Dell PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) that does not have a parallel port to connect an old HP Laserjet 4 printer.  I bought a USB to parallel to connect the PC to the printer.  When turn on/off the printer, W7 installed an IEEE-1284 controller that appears in the unspecified list of devices in the control panel.  I "Has added a new printer", select "USB001 virtual printer USB port", then choose the correct printer driver (after "Windows Update" get a longer list).  When you try to print a test page, the 'ready' light on the printer starts to print, but nothing else happens.

After experimenting with different settings, I was able to get a page to print that says "* s1M.  I don't know how it happened or what it means.  This suggests that the PC is 'talk' to the printer.  However, I was unable to reproduce this.

HP support was able to help me, and I've been searching for an answer.  Someone at - it suggestions?  I wouldn't give up using a "workhorse" reliable printer for years. "

You do not have a parallel port on the machine.  Whatever it is sent to the parallel port device should fail on writing.   Change the port to the port of USB00n, created when you plugged the cable.  You will see the port listed in the list of ports.  This will usually USB001 when you have not all printers attached otherUSB.

  • How to configure a printer LPT when adapted to use a USB Port - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

    I have a computer that does not have an LPT port, and the printer that I want to use (EPSON Stylus Color 850) is not a USB Port or Ethernet.  I bought a cable USB2LPT and attempted to get the printer to work.

    My problem seems to be the choice of the port to use.  Here are the steps I followed:

    1. pick "Add a printer" of the control panel. Printers
       2 choose 'Add a local printer' (even if using the USB Port, like when I plugged the USB cable into the computer, I received the message installing driver recognition but not familiar "bong".)
       3 selected "use an existing port.
       4 select "USB001 (virtual printer to USB Port) - it was my best estimate of the long list provided."
       5 choose the EPSON Stylus Color 850 ECP2/PCS.

    The pilot was then installed without error and tried to print a test page which is that hangs without error.

    I deleted the printer then tried to assign the LPT1 port.  No help here either.

    If someone can help me with the installation, so I can get my documents to print I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you

    Dave

    You do not have an LPT port.  When you select the LPT port data are always written him even if your computer does not have the hardware installed to make it work.  It would work if you have installed a parallel PCI Port card.

    USB001 would be the first choice, then USB002...

    The next step as Fouzan points out is to contact the supplier of cable or Epson for support of printer you.  Start by Epson.

    You can try other cables, parallel PCI card or another printer. Alan Morris Windows printing team; Here Microsoft Knowledge Base search: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

    Hi all

    I am trying to establish remote desktop TO my new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) on my computer (Windows XP) work via a VPN. The VPN Client connects to my network to work with no problems, but when I try to use the remote desktop connection I get an error message:

    Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

    (1) remote access to the server is not enabled

    (3) the remote computer is not available on the network

    Make sure that the remote computer is on and connected to the network, and remote access is enabled.

    Items 1-3 are working well, so I guess that the problem is caused by another issue?
    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thanks for your response Al. To answer your qus:
    (1) cisco VPN Client for 64 - bit.

    (2) I don't know how to ping through the VPN tunnel - I don't see this option, anywhere in the Cisco customer (I'm not a professional, just a user)
    (3) Yes. Also, I can connect to the host PC via my old laptop XP (xp) of fine House, just not my new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) so the problem must be with my new laptop rather than at the end of the host PC.

    After that you connect through the VPN tunnel open a command window, IE. go in Start > run , then type cmdand type ping DRC-hostname or IP-address-DRC ping.

    When I clicked on any of these accounts, he was asked to enter the password and tried to connect.  But he couldn't and showed me back to 2 accounts login screen user.

    I rebooted my system several times, but the situation is the same.

    Please help me solve this.

    Thank you best regards &,.

    Ludovic pokora

    Hi Ludovic,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We apologize for the inconvenience caused due to updates.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1: When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2: If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Method 3: If after performing the above steps, you are able to start the computer and access the desktop then try to Uninstall KB3097877 update if it is installed, and then reinstall it.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • DCR-TRV260 NTSC via USB for Windows XP Home edition home

    Hello!

    I'm trying to help a friend to connect its DCR-TRV260 NTSC to his computer HP Vectra VL420 (Yes, a very old machine).
    The computer is HP P/n: PS660AV #246, with a processor Pentium 4 (Willamette) of 478mPGA socket @1. 70 GHz, installed on a HP
    card system with an Intel i845 NB A05 and and Intel 82801 SB, the latter is, I suspect, the culprit.
    We lack a clean new install of Windows XP Edition family with Service Pack 3, with 384 MB of PC133 SDRAM.
    I know it's something Museum but hey, it works and it can not even buy a more recent machine.

    The problem: I can't do the camera be considered a via USB removable storage device, in order to download still images on the computer, he recorded on tape, not a stick of memory, there no card IEEE1394 and no budget to buy a.
    I installed the software included in his CD that comes with the camera, and I can work
    streaming USB tool and watch motion pictures and still images through it, but I can not D/L to the computer.
    I removed all the foregoing, as well as all instances of the camera Device Manager, then set up PMB56_installer1108a, to my dismay, because he wants to only use IEEE1394 (I understand why, but it should offer the USB option).

    How we manage to always download these images, recorded on tape, on his computer?
    I suspect the Intel 82801 SB is at fault, because even if it does not detect the camera and every time I plug it, Device Manager
    updated to reflect the three instances related to the camera, the Sony imaging device, digital video USB Composite and Audio USB
    Device, it cannot be seen as a removable storage device.

    Of course, I read the manual for the camera and the computer application s/w, but I can't find anything related, none of the people
    two elements indicate how do what my friend waiting!

    I read all the messages mentioning USB as a search term, and the question is: is WXP just incapable of such a feat?

    Help, please.

    Hello!
    After all this time, I discovered the answer to watch me on page 25 of the PDF manual camera operations.
    They are not always photos within the meaning of the word "cybershot", they are
    still images recorded with sound, then it's just a frozen video image recording with
    seven seconds of audio.

    Now we have captured it with Windows Movie Maker and export it somehow to jpg still images.

    Thanks anyway!

  • Cannot print in windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    I have a new PC with Win 7. I can't print from MS 13 office (Outlook, Word, etc.) 11 Explorer IE, Chrome, etc. The printer is communicating with the PC, I can scan a document to your computer. I reinstalled the HP printer driver for my Photosmart 6380 and I was able to print a test page for the HP software, but I can't print a test page for the printer configuration in windows. I see on the Microsoft forums that it might be a compatibility problem; I can't find a compatibility setting in one of the printer config options (properties, properties of the printer, etc.) Suggestions?

    Hi William,.

    I understand that you cannot print using Microsoft office, Internet Explorer and Chrome.

    Basically, you cannot print anything.

    This problem may be caused for the following reasons:

    • Drivers are corrupt.
    • Problem of the printer.
    • Conflict of third-party application.

    I checked the compatibility of the printer, it is compatible with Windows 7.

    1. Since when are you facing this problem?
    2. You recently made any changes to the computer?
    3. How the printer is connected to the computer? (With or without wire)
    4. What happens when you try to print?

    Please follow the methods and check them off below if it helps:

    Method 1: Clean boot

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    Note: After troubleshooting, consult this section «How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting»

    Method 2: Uninstall the printer and reinstall

    Please uninstall the printer, and all applications of the printer and scanner in Control Panel.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 2 - Office suddenly abandoned internet (via e-thernet), does not connect unless I have stop and restart manually

    A few days ago I pressed the space bar to wake up my (HP pavilion m8100n) office, and I met several things at once:
    1. the icon of the internet was just two monitors blinks back
    2. a box pops up saying "an audio input jack has been disconnected" (when NO such thing has happened!) and now I have no sound and just an "x"symbol next to the symbol of volume." I tried connect headphones, still no sound at all.
    3. my wireless mouse works most completely (again, I don't have anything) I had to use my Intuos3 Tablet mouse click autour.
    Then I restarted the computer, unplugged and replugged the usb for wireless mouse thing, solved #3.
    #2 is still pending.
    #1 takes a strange turn.
    The computer more remained in mode 'sleep', even if I told him to go to mode 'sleep', and every time he woke up upward, I had no internet (just two monitors flashing back and forth.)
    I went to the Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer to disable internet to save energy, at least now when it comes out of sleep, he maintains the internet.
    The computer also doesn't stop- every now and again, he normally stops when I said to, but more often now I have to force it to close hold the button down.
    The question of the internet has gotten worse. While we had a few problems because of the company's Internet, we called and it is resolved.
    I know the router is not the problem because that all computer laptop in the House can connect to him easily.
    My computer always had problems with wireless cards, is also connected to the router via e-thernet.
    The only way I can work around the issue now is to stop (be it by asking the computer to stop or forcing), from, he and hope I get internet.
    If I don't have internet and instead just get the flashing monitors symbol, I tried to tell the computer to restart, but this does not resolve the issue.
    When it restarts, there not even internet.
    I still close, wait and start again, and * hope * I have internet.

    When I have no internet, and I'm trying to diagnose and repair, it always ends up by saying "Windows cannot solve this problem."
    When I click on network and sharing Center, he says that I'm connected to a 'network unidentified' - which is meaningless, because when the internet works, it says that I'm connected to the private network of our House.
    I tried Googling autour, but I really can't find someone else who has the problem as well as the problem of the e-thernet restart/stop.
    Any help with this would be massively appreciated, I do commissions online my source of income and I need this computer to work, because it's my graphic computer.
    (I've included all this other info in case it helped to identify the problem.)

  • Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit on a Dell Studio 140g running a NETGEAR WG111v2 54Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 adapt and loses the connection permanently

    I have a problem with this program-it very often loses the connection, so with any live video as a conference, he fall causing problems with, naturally, the frustration on both sides. The router is in another room may be just 25 feet away maximum which the signal passes through 1 wall and offered "free of charge to AT & T TV and Internet clients" so a technician said as saying "it's just a basic router", but the signal goes further to a TV, another 20-foot more away and had no problem connecting unless it is with the AT & T network itself. Even if he reconnects automatically most of the time, but sometimes I have to manually reconnect which can take of time also a lot of time. I had another SATA driver and separate, which was working fine then one day abruptly stopped and now that the driver to reconnect and I was forced to use the old and original driver and I'm back with the same problems. I can't find where it is that I found this other, independent driver, even with a search, and now I have no idea how to solve. I tried all suggestions with Microsoft Fix It without modification done or as it says "no changes have been made, your driver is up to date" and I have tried these suggestions and now I'm here. I also went to CNET to search for a driver, but not luck to everything I've read about the drivers there. Finally, I intend to go with another program called Easy Wifi Radar and I don't know what would be better to use Wifi adapter and since I have a few target (store) [s http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=wifi+adapter & category = 9975894% 7CAll % 7Cmatchallpartial % 7Celectronics & lnk = snav_sbox_wifi + adapters] I guess I'll take the adapter on their part and their site search , I see a lot to choose gift cards, but who would work better with my system and this program of "Easy_WIFI_Radar"? Any suggestions? Maybe a better deal with another source of in-store/online Wifi adapter?

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have connected the external NETGEAR WG111v2 USB adapter to work with wireless internet and the connection is intermittent.

    Maybe it's because the wireless USB card driver and it is perhaps because of the hardware (USB wireless card) itself.

    Try the suggestions below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can try to download the latest Firmware utility from Netgear support site and check if it helps.

    Check out the link below to download the latest firmware for NETGEAR WG111v2.

    http://Downloadcenter.NETGEAR.com/en/product/wg111v2#searchresults

    Method 2:

    Dell Studio Hybrid D140G may come with the card wireless in the generation in it, you can try to disconnect the external USB NETGEAR WG111v2 adapter and try to connect to the network card wireless wireless generation.

    To connect to the wireless network, please visit the link below.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/view-connect-available-wireless-networks#1TC=Windows-7

    Method 3:

    Try disabling your antivirus software that may block the incoming connection wireless.

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hope this information helps, please reply with the status of the issue for further assistance.
