  • Why Microsoft XPS Document Writer became my default printer instead of my HP printer and why can't he going back?

    Somehow Microsoft XPS Document Writer became the printer by default - I don't know what it is. We have an HP printer. We cannot go back. I need the Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

    The XPS printer is a "print to file" type of printer, it is not a real printer as such, but to behave like one.  XPS files are kind of similar (but not) PDF files, I prefer to consider as images.  They can be quite handy, suppose that you want to save a web page, as when you place an order or make a payment online (or anything else) you can only use the XPS printer to print and save a file without a real printer or using a printer and paper.   XPS files can easily be found (such as PDF or other image) and if yo need a copy paper, it can be sent to a printer.  It's a practical way of conservation documented records without having to print and store paper prints.

    Why can not redefine you your HP printer to default?  What happens when you try to do?

    If you do not want the XPS printer you can just delete it as any other printer (in the control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and printers).

  • Default network printer continues to change in XPS Document writer.

    Original title: default printer

    I set my default printer to a network printer. The next time I do something he returned again to the XPS Document Writer. How can I stop this.

    See control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Center\Advanced sharing, sharing settings, verify that file and printer sharing works properly on your machines.

    See control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Hardware and Sound\Printer

    See if something interferes.  Maybe a firewall or other security program?

  • Cannot print even after installing drivers.

    All-in-One driver for 6210xi all-in-one

    I downloaded the driver for the officejet 6210xi all-in-one and the result was a download for a Conbverter PDF of Foxtab, a microsoft XPS Document writer & a Fax of Officejet HPS. I tried all the and can not get the printer to print or do anything else besides. I am about at my wits end to solve this problem. The only option that is available to me at this time is to buy another printer and it will not be done by HP. I have had this printer for about 6 years and really liked the way in which it worked until during a recent upgrade of my ability to access whent HP away and has been subtuted with this converter of Foxtab.

  • XPS Document Writer under Win 7 x 64 fails to create print files.

    This used to work, but for some reason, it stopped.

    Basically, if I try to print from any application in XPS Document Writer, I am invited properly to a file name, but then, according to the application I get an error message, but in any case I do not get a file.

    for example, for the notebook, I get the message "the i/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".  Internet explorer 8 I don't get any error messages at all.

    I tried to delete the printer driver and Add again and I've also added a generic printer and then adjusting the details of the driver.  In both cases, I have the same problem.

    I turned and on windows for Services of XPS and XPS Viewer features.  Once, this has made no difference.

    I even restarted the printer spooler.  No difference.

    When I try to print test page, I get an "unable to print Test page.  You want to discover the convenience of printing support?  Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003e3).

    Clues someone?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi jcmm33,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. What is the full error you receive when you run the Print Troubleshooter?

    I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

    Any help please?

    And it does n average boot t?
    You get an error message? The laptop freezes on start up? Do you get a BSOD?

    I put t know how you can solve this problem, but can you go into the advanced boot menu? You can start in safe mode?

    In my opinion Microsoft installation synchronization destroyed something in Windows and in the worst case, reinstall the whole OS.

  • OfficeJet 8600 N911a MAC wireless stopped working after installing Win 7 Hello

    Since my original installation of this printer in August 2013, I had a simple and flawless printing installation wireless for Macbook Pro (10,9), Macbook Air (10.7.5), iMac (10.6.8) (7.1.1) iPads and iPhones (7.1.1).  Last night, I tried to connect Win 7 laptop to HP via Bonjour.

    All devices except the iMac are now impossible to print.  10.6.8 OS seems to be ok.

    All devices to recognize the 8600, but nothing prints. iphones and ipads acknowledge the 8600, but nothing happens when I click on print.

    I tried to reset the default printer, download the drivers, reboot the wireless network, etc.

    HP printer utility opens fine on the Mac, and I can see the power levels and other information related to the printer.

    Help!

    Einstein said to do the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is insanity.

    After reading the other posts on this forum, I have "reset" my mac printers, deleted my printers, reinstalled my printer, downloaded and installed the printer drivers, unplugged my router, power off my printer at least 3 times each, and that's all working again now.

    I believe in putting in place this laptop Windows POS on my print caused network failure.  I was no problem since I stopped using windows about 5 years, and then this.  Lesson learned.

  • How to connect a USB-wireless printer to a wireless network without PC

    Some HP printers do not have a Wizard of wireless configuration integrated into the façade to connect to a network.  These models install to a computer via a USB connection and the software then sends information wireless via the USB cable to the printer.  However, you do not always have a present computer and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network.  You can use a wireless, like an iPad device, to do this.  For the example below, I used an iPad and a printer Deskjet 3510.

    The first step is to make sure that your printer is aired at an (Ad Hoc) network.  To do this, turn on the printer and press the wireless or wireless Tower, and then in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the signal being broadcast by the printer wireless.

    Once the iPad is connected to the printer as long as a network connection, open the Web browser on the iPad.  Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to this site.  Printer status page should load and look like the picture below.

    Click the network at the top of the status page.  You can get a quick warning while being redirected to an HTTPS site.  Click Ok in the message box to continue.  When you click OK, you can get a warning about the identity of the server or the certificate.  Select the option that allows you to continue.  The wording can vary from a browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.

    Network status page should now be loaded at this point.  Select Assistant wireless to start the installation of the wireless network and click Next.

    When then is selected, it must list the available wireless networks.  Select your network from the list and click Next.  When the network is selected, it should be noted.

    Enter the network password if necessary and click Next.

    A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled.  The message below which must indicate that the settings have been saved successfully.  If it indicates that the settings were saved successfully with an error, the configuration of the network is more than likely operation.  Click Ok at the bottom.

    After selecting OK, select status to check that the printer is connected successfully.  It may take a few minutes for light wireless to the printer to stop flashing.  Once it is a solid blue, the printer must be on the network and operation.

    Once this is over, then you will be able to reconnect to your wireless (wireless router) normal signal for internet access.  Now, the iPad and the printer are on the same home network.

    I hope this helps.

    Hey there @LMACE!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I see that your printer is not printing black once the print head had been replaced.  I would be more then happy to provide you with some suggestions that can make things work again.  The first thing I would suggest is to remove the cartridges and printheads the printer and manually clean the electrical contacts on the printhead and the printer.  It is possible ink sprayed on the copper contacts causing a bad connection, when the new print head has been installed.  If the printhead is not getting a good connection, you may notice messages on the printer error and poor print quality.
