• Deskjet 6988 printer to wireless network (laptop Envy w / Windows 8.1)

  I got my printer HP Deskjet 6988 years and still it was connected to my desktop via a USB 2.0 cable. I bought a laptop HP Envy with Windows 8.1 and want to connect the printer through my servant/Belkin router network, as the USB 2.0 cable provided with the printer does not seem to work in the USB ports of the desire for direct printing. The software disk did not work in the laptop, so I downloaded the software and utility software (printing and scanning) to 8.1 on the HP site.

  I ran the download, the installation wizard has started, said "the wizard will connect to the internet and help install the best software available for your printer." I clicked on next, and opens a window "Device discovery" and then an another "recovering the device" then... nothing.  The wizard window closes. My installation manual is useless. It tells me to use the wizard on the software disk that does not work on my laptop (and is obsolete and for the operating system still wrong, because it was for my office, which took place on VIsta.)

  I somehow managed to get the printer installed on the laptop - I can see it under the available printers.  And if I have an ethernet cable connected directly from the printer to my router, it will print. But if I unplug the ethernet cable, it will not print. I can't keep the ethernet cable is connected for printing, because the router is in my living room, behind the TV and my office is on the floor. I prefer not to keep my printer on the floor of the living room by our TV, so I really need to work wireless!

  My problem is how to make the printer added to my network (Belkin router) servant. The wireless router is all set up and functional - I use actually it from now to access the internet and to post this message.

  So, my printer is installed on my laptop. The driver is the most recent, intalled today HP.com and I don't have a software disc to use for a Setup Wizard.

  What are the next steps to connect my printer on the network, so I can print wireless? If all goes well, I gave enough information. I have read all sections of the HP.com customer help on service and none of them seem to tell me what to do.

  Thank you!

  By a lot of trial and error, I actually thought about it myself. I did a lot of jumping around, so I hope that I can remember what I did:

  (1) install the printer driver using the diskette or download.

  (2) connect the printer to the router by an ethernet cable, which looks like a big phone cord (no need to connect the printer to your laptop).
  3) implement the system of the laptop 'search' on your laptop and in search type "Network" and then click on the 'Network' link to open it.

  (4) you should see the icon for the printer on your computers and other devices already present on the network.

  (5) double click/tap on the icon of the printer and it will open 'web page' the printer in your browser.

  (6) click / tap the 'Network' tab near the top of the scren.

  (7) in the left sidebar, under 'Connections', click 'Wireless' to open it.

  (8) start and use the wizard to enter your router information. (You must specify the printer a different name here, so you can distinguish it from all other printers on your laptop.) For example, I named mine "Deskjet" 6988 Network)

  (9) unplug the power cord of the printer ethernet.

  (10) If your wireless printer does not appear in the list of printers when you go to print something, you'll need to add:

  11) open looking for new portable computer system and type "Devices and printers" and click / tap on the link.

  12) click on the link "Add a printer" upward. The computer will search for printers and the new network printer should appear in the list (hint: he wil have an IP address in the 'Address' column rather than a file.)

  (13) add the network printer and run the test to ensure that it works. Make your default printer and may delete all other 6988 printers listed if you want to.

  (14) you should now see your network printer in the printer list when you go to print something.

  I hope this helps someone else someday!

• HP Deskjet 6988: The problem is how to get to 'double-sided automatically' with 10 WIN my HP Deskjet 6988 printer

  My Deskjet 6988 has been printing double-sided automatically (I have the setting of appropriate material) for the last 3 years. However, when I upgraded to Windows 10, who have enough work. No pilot is available online (HP site) and the disc that came with my printer does not work with Windows 10. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Really, I love my printer and do not think I should buy a new printer for automatic two-sided printing.

  On Windows systems, the function "automatic detection" used by some drivers on the install (or update) does not always; make sure the driver knows that a duplex unit is present on the printer (assuming that a single is present):

  • For the instance of the printer in question, bring up the printer properties dialogue.
  • Select the device settings tab.
  • Make sure the duplex unit is set to installed and not installed.

  You will probably need to be logged in with administrator credentials in order to change the settings of the device.

  If your model does not have a duplex unit equipped (i.e. not one of the models with a suffix "d"), then you can't do automatic duplexing. You can do manual duplex printing (assuming that the printer driver supports this).

• DeskJet 6988: prints without custom border deskjet 6988

  I want to make a card (5 x 7) which means I have to print 10 x 7. I tried to do a custom size by clicking on "without borders"but I still have the white border.» The option without borders works with no custom sizes?

  Hi @mhm45,

  Can I have found some information about you on your Deskjet 6988 borderless printing options.

  Please NOTE: With all models, print custom page sizes are n ot guaranteed from Windows, it usually ends up being a limitation of the operating system presets. All these settings are error.

  I think you're right, it should use an option without border defined by the operating system - but you can review the information provided in the user guide for printing without margins to see if you missed something. PG 59-61.

  This information has been in the User Guide for the Deskjet 6988;

   

  Print borderless photos

  Use printing without margins to print to the edges of some types of paper and printing on a variety of paper-paper photo sizes 3 x 5 inches to a custom photo size 210 x 594 mm (8.5 "x 23.4").

  Guidelines

  ● For high quality results, use a print cartridge photo in combination with the print cartridge three colors.

  ● do not print photos without a border in ink-backup mode. Always have two ink cartridges installed in the printer.

  ● Open the file in a program such as Adobe Photoshop or HP Photosmart software and affect the size of the photo. Make sure that the size matches that of the paper on which you want to print the photo.

  ● If you have installed the HP Photosmart software, you can use it to assemble panoramic digital photos before printing.

  ● For maximum strength, use HP Premium Photo paper.

  ● Check that the photo paper you are using is flat. For more information about the prevention of photo paper to curl, see photo paper storage instructions.

  ● Do not exceed the capacity of the tray in: 25 sheets of photo paper.

  Prepare to print

  To print a single small photo, use the photo/envelope feeder.

  To print several photos or more, follow these steps:

  1. check that the printer is turned on.

  2. for small photos, remove the output tray. For large photos, lift the sliding top. Remove all paper from the tray in. 3. drag the width of the paper all the way to the left guide and then pull out the paper length guide.

  4. check that the photo paper is flat.

  5. place the photo paper in the tray, with the side to be printed on the bottom. If you use paper photo with a detachable tab, check that the tab is so opposite of the printer.

  6. slide the paper guides against the paper.

  Note: Some formats of panoramic paper may extend beyond the edge of the In tray.

  7. for small photos, replace the output tray. For large photos, lower the output tray.

  Print

  Note: If the software includes a photo printing feature, follow the instructions that are provided with the software. Otherwise, follow these instructions.

  1. open the photo in an application that allows you to edit, such as the HP Photosmart or Adobe Photoshop software.

  2. open the printer properties dialog box.

  3. click on the shortcuts tab print Chapter 5 60 HP Deskjet 6980 series

  4. in what you want to do? drop-down list, click borderless Photo printing, and then select the following options:-print quality: normal or best. Note for maximum dpi quality, go to the paper/quality tab and then click Maximum dpi in the drop-down list print quality. -Paper Type: A picture appropriate paper type - size of paper: a paper size appropriate photo without margin - Orientation: Portrait or landscape

  5. set the HP Real Life technologies.

  6. click OK to print the photo. If you have printed on paper with a detachable tab, remove the tab to make the document completely without borders.

  Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

  I look forward to hear from you!

  Thank you

• Deskjet 6988 print cartridge 'door' - cannot access ink cartridges

  This printer has been giving me excellent service for many years, so I'm not surprised that he can do a little wonky. Yet, any advice would be most appreciated!

  Recently, this "door" has popped up, preventing me access to print cartridges:

  

  It seems to say "turn the printer off," or perhaps "turn off and on again," that would be logical, as requiring to do her little dance and restarts. MOST of the time, it does no good. The cartridges just sitting there, and the door rest.

  However sometimes turning market causes a mechanism to move, and the door up and down and sometimes stays down.

  I saw no references to this 'gate' in the manual. Anyone know what it's called?

  Is there a way to force the printer to zero and drop the door? A factory reset did not work.

  Thank you!

  This fixed/figured it out!

  Remove the Panel on the right side of the printer. It's like two hooks on the top and two clips on the bottom. Gently pull down to unclip. Upwards, you will see the mechanism that connects the cover to a switch. For me, the wire time the "capture" disengaged, and I need to restore the link so that it is engaged when the lid rises or falls. After that I did, the cartridges behaved normally, and the mysterious "door" is never in the way.

After the upgrade, the "Add a printer" window would not show my printer. I installed HP v2.1 for Mac OS X printer drivers (available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) and also tried to reconnect my printer with an ethernet cable.

  I was able to manually add my printer by following these steps:

  -Install Mac OS X 10.6.1 using the software update

  -Install the latest drivers from HP printer from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  -Open System Preferences and go to the "Print & Fax".

  -Click the "+" button in the lower left corner of the window of preferences "Print & Fax".

  -Click the icon of the "intellectual property" at the top of the window "add a printer".

  -Select "HP Jetdirect - taken" in the "Protocol:"drop-down box.

  -Make sure that the "print using:" drop-down list reads ' HP Deskjet 6980 series ' "»

  -Click on 'Add' in the lower right of the window "add a printer".

  Your printer should work! The key ingredient is to select 'HP Jetdirect - taken' in the 'Protocol' drop down box, I tried "Line Printer Daemon - LPD" and it did not work.

• How to download "HP solutions Center" Deskjet 6988 8.1 on windows

  I have a Deskjet 6988 printer and a Scanjet G3110 on 8.1 Windows and you can get the base drivers to download for them.  I can scan and print, but I want to download HP Solution Center software so I can control the making of copies.  How do I do that?  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  I actually called the Deskjet 6988 only I was confused by the title ;-)

  For the Scanjet G3110, you have a complete solution available.

  If the scanner is already connected to your computer, make sure to open devices and printers, click with the right button on the Scanjet 3110 and select Remove.

  Unplug the USB and install the following software:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=DP-127945-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4158&product=3723467&sw_lang=

  I'm not surwe if the HP Solution Center will be available as well, or can the software of HP scanning only, however the copy of the front panel button will woirk once the software will be intalled.

  Kind regards

• Printer stopped working after I removed a paper jam - Deskjet 6988

  I removed a paper jam today, according to the instructions. But since I did it, it will not be printed. The power light is, as if it's OK, but he absolutely refuses to print.

  My printer is a HP Deskjet 6988 and I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Whenever I try to print, the print queue displays the print job for about a second, then he faints. I try to print again, it disappears. Then, if I do it a third time, it appears in the list and stays there, but the printer does nothing.

  After two minutes the queue no longer mentions it as the "impression". Instead, it says, "error printing". I try to delete the print job, but it just sits there, saying "error printing". It will not erase. The only way to remove it is by the printer stop or restart the computer.

  If I try to print after that stuff all over again.

  I tried closing the printer and reboot, restart the computer, power cycling (stopping the printer, unplug the cables, waiting..., plug again and restart).  I ran the Diagnostic Utility and it tells me that it works very well - well, very good for a very large paperweight.  I used troubleshooting via the Control Panel, and he said: "a print job in the print queue prevents other printing of print." But as I have already said, delete the print job does not solve the problem.  I am stuck in a loop of the removal of print jobs and nothing works.

  Help, please!

  Hey Tigger,

  It may have been stuck in the diagnostic mode - not able to move forward or backward for a time very long.

  Next time, if this never happens again, you can try a Reset of the printer:

  Here are two types of reset the base printer:

  (1) if there is a keyboard, turn it off, then on and press on # and 6 (press and hold while turning on the printer).

  (2) without a keyboard?  So unplug that LEAVE unplugged for 30 seconds to a minute.  Reconnect it.  (Be careful with this one - will not shock).

  It can become a little more complicated than that, but a basic reset sometimes "will have the printer attention" if it's just "spinning" and nothing else will not physically.

  I'm glad it works again.

  Maybe printers receive loners.   The smile.

• Test page for the wireless ad-hoc print only Deskjet 6988

  We have 3 os x 10.5.6 cell phones and a computer running windows XP. I got an ad-hoc wireless network set up with a Deskjet 6988 and a router from Dell. I was starting to have problems with the router, so I bought an AirPort Express. After you configure the AirPort Express, everything was fine except that I couldn't print. After a lot of efforts, including the setting of each computer to the printer cable ethernet and update the software and try something different by connecting a USB cable from the printer to the airport. When this does not work, I went back to an ad hoc network. I eventually so I can print wireless from a test page, but that's all. For everything else... emails, word documents, etc., I get an error message. The message flashes too fast so I can't read it. Any thoughts?

  Bruce,

  You should be able to add the printer without having to reinstall the SW.

  Try to remove the 6988 since the printing section printer and faxes in the folder System Preferences, then add new.  If you have recently updated your Mac SW, 6988 driver should be part of Mac OS and in this case, the printer driver is automatically installed.

  Best regards / Jim B

• Problem printing Deskjet 6988 and Windows 8.1

  I have problems printing multiple copies on my 6988 Deskjet Windows 8.1. I tried to print several copies of a PDF document as well as an Excel spreadsheet, but all I get is a copy. It seems that I must go to the printer properties and set the number of copies here.

  Is this a known problem with Windows 8.1 for this printer driver?

  Hi Stephen0118,

  I understand that you have a Deskjet 6988 which is not allowing you to print multiple copies, unless you go to the properties of the printer. I will definitely do my best to help you with this.

  Because the driver you are using is an OS driver, which means it is integrated into the operating system, it will be less characteristic than a full pilot of features. I will suggest that you run your Windows updates to make sure that everything is up to date, but others, while it looks like everything works as it should.

  Hope this helps, have a nice day!

• HP Deskjet D4360 printer

  Help!  HP Deskjet D4360 printer is practically new out of the box - probably printed a dozen copies to date.  Ink cartridges are genuine HP and also almost brand new.  The printer has been used for a few months, which has never been a problem w / my previous 4360.

  Initially "printing" white pages; re-installed the software and provided a sample page in various shades of blue, with the "20" in the almost invisible centre.

  I cleaned and re - clean cartridges (basic and intermediate); aligned and re-aligned; calibrated and calibrated; primed and re-primed - to no avail.  With printing alignment, I'm not able to determine any # s in order to answer the questions about the visible lines least.

  Undertook to research further and was guided on how to print a 'diagnostic' page - the printer chatters and click on that it will do something, but nothing.  The instructions give no indication of how long to press the power & Cancel buttons, so from different eras have been tried.

  Also turned the printer off and restarted it about half an hour later--had no effect.

  I need to use this printer today - any of you experts can help me?

  Have you tried to install new cartridges?

• HP Deskjet 1010 printer does not print

  I was copying and pasting into LibreOffice in order to print, but it's much too long. Hoping someone can help. Thank you.

  In my original post, I said that I had downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the HP site.  I haven't restarted after installing the drivers of thinkI.  A few days later, after that I restarted the system, the printer work properly. Just a reminder to restart after an update like this.   Thanks for your reply.

• Re: HP Deskjet 710c printer driver will work for 712c printer under Windows 7?

  It's very interesting, but my Windows 7 64-bit system does not list any driver printer tor the 710C.  Printer drivers are for the 450, 460, then 5100.  If the 710c driver is not available, including available pilots would argue the DeskJet 712C printer?

  The drivers are sent through Windows Update.  Try the following: click Start, devices and printers, add a printer.  When the list of printers, click Windows Update.  Wait a few minutes to fill out the list, and then select HP for the manufacturer and HP Deskjet 710C.  For the x 64 version of Windows 7, you must apply the patch after you install the driver.  [Edit - patch is available here.]
