DeskJet D2660 - errors Windows 8.1 - don't Print - out

Hello!

I have a HP Deskjet D2660. I have a Dell

Inspiron 15R 5521

. I have Windows 64-bit of 8.1.

When I try to print a document, or PDF printer will sometimes just leave the document in the queue and change the "status of mutiple symbols such as *! ^ #% ~ ~ * & instead of saying "printing error, deletion, etc...". Sometimes the HP Solution Center will send a pop up and tell me that the printer cannot print. Sometimes, I get an error of communication. But no matter, I am unable to print whole pages. When the printer decides it wants to print it will show 1/4 of the document and stop with a pop-up that says "unable to print document" Center of HP solutions also appears and says the same thing.

I tried the "guided" solutions I stopped and restarted the "print spooler" from Device Manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my software to print several times as deleted and reinstalled all the drivers of hp associated with this printer model. I ran the HP program doctor. I used the "HP Updater" that tells me that there is no update and I'm updating. All this without result. I need a solution that works and I need it as soon as possible. I'm at the point where I'm ready to take this printer and run it with my truck because being able to print is a very important aspect of my office at home I prepare tax returns and must be able to print. I don't want to change the printer because the printer has always been reliable and does exactly what I need to do it, PRINTING of DOCUMENTS and. PDF files. But now it won't.

Please help me to get this resolved as soon as possible! I appreciate all the suggestions that I have not tried!

To solve the problem I bought a used HP F4180 and it works fine with my system. I guess the d2660 is just old. Thanks anyway!

  • Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

    Hello

    I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

    I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

    I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

  • Photosmart C5580: Printer on Windows 7 networking don't print network shared computer

    I've been trading emails with HP support for several days now on this problem and they are unable to solve.

    I have a Photosmart C5580 all-in-one printer connected to a computer HP Pavilion 64 bits with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  I shared the printer and created a homegroup with one not also loaded with Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit HP.  Also on the network is a laptop HP with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    That is the problem.  I can print the C5580 of the host computer and the HP laptop.  The printer will not respond to the 32-bit computer with the print job hanging in Quebec with an error.  Of course, the window Troubleshooting Wizard is no help.  I installed the package of windows 7 HP printer on all three computers.  I added the printer through the Add Wizard of the printer, tried to add network printer connection, add a TCP/IP port for the printer properties to the 32-bit computer.  I followed the instructions of

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01886193

    HP and I have run each step resolution of problems they can think of and we begin to repeat.

    Does anyone else have this problem and how did you solve it?

    It is a 32-bit to 64-bit problem. Turns out that the driver for the x 86 processor must be installed on the two computer and vice versa for a 64-bit computer, trying to pint on a x 86 processor.

    I found the solution on microsoft technet at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverprint/thread/6067a35d-d9ac-4f52-8beb-9aca3f116e9e

    Here's what I did to remedy.

    On the printserver 64 bit, I opened the printer sharing tab properties.

    Then I opened the button drivers additional.

    The x 86 processor has not been installed.

    I sailed on the network to the 32-bit computer and wanted by the printer drivers in the c:/windows/system32/driversStore/fileRepository to find the prnhp00r.inf.

    After I installed this driver, the printer would answer correctly.

  • When I try to add a network printer to my laptop I get the error: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation can not be completed (error 0 x 00000006).

    The printer is connected to the queue printing is an Epson Stylus Color 740.  I can print to it, if I connect to my laptop directly to the printer.  I also have this error for any printer I am trying to add that is on the network.

  • Deskjet D2660 printer: unable to print from your PC Windows 10 using printer HP Deskjet D2660 shared connected to Windows 7 PC

    Hello

    I have two PC Marge and Homer connected through a NetGear router:

    Margin: A Windows 7 32 bit laptop computer with an HP Deskjet D2660 printer and one scanner HP Scanjet 2400 attached to it. All these devices work perfectly well.

    Homer: 10 64 bit Windows desktop without devices.

    The two computers share their photos, music, videos and documents folders and printers via a homegroup. However, although Homer can see the printer connected to the margin, if I try to print anything from Homer, it fails. To give an example of this, if I print from 2013 word on Homer, the dialog box is shown below:

    At other times, on Homer, the item to be printed appears in the print queue, spool but then disappear. Moreover, I am aware of the problems of HP driver causing the elements to disappear with the disappearance of print queues in Windows.

    All the HP diagnostic software I tried did not detect the printer, perhaps because it is an older model.

    Can someone advise?

    Thank you

    Martin O'Shea.

    For the Dissapperaing of print job in the queue. Please follow the path below.

    Step: 1 Goto C drive--> Windows System32-->--> coil--> printers (right click and click Properties).

    Step: 2. under printer properties. Click the Security tab.

    Step: 3 Under Group or user name-> click on each one, then click on modify.

    Click on allow on all the paramaters (Permission) and then click on apply and then click ok.

    Step: 4 reboot the system and unplug the power cable from the printer without pressing the power button on the printer.

    Problem should be solved, it's usually because that computer allocates the permission for printing.

    I hope that this should take care of the concern.

  • Don't click Desktop error "Windows explore does not work.

    Original title: Do not click on the desktop.

    My desktop computer has worked fine and now all of a sudden I am unable to click anywhere on the desktop. I am running windows 7 64 bit. If I click on the desktop, it will be then to come crash with the message Windows explores does not work then he'll recover. Other differences is that all desktop backgrounds are brighter and it disappears once it restarts, but returned about 5 seconds later. That I can not click once again. Are there any suggestions? I tried to start clean and had no success?

    Hi Nicolas,.

    I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

    I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

    Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-us

    Note:
    1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    4) note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

    What are 10 Windows users supposed to do when they are run this problem?

    Hello:

    As you know, Windows 10 has made it impossible to hide or ignore updates (or so it seems).

    I found this tool from Microsoft that allows you to hide updates that don't work, or mess up your PC if they work, (as a synaptics touchpad update has done on my laptop).

    I saved this tool on my PC for use in the future if necessary.

  • HP Deskjet 6122 and Windows 7

    I just bought a new Windows 7 laptop. My printer HP Deskjet 6122 USB plugged in, and it was recognized as not specified. 6122 driver windows update indicated that the alternative driver is the 990 c. install the 990 c driver, LPT1 used but no luck. Driver installs successfully but is not communicating with the 6122 printer. I don't want to buy a new printer, but it seems that the 6122 is not recognixzed by Windows 7. How can I get the 6122 to work with my new laptop windows 7?

    Simple answer is that LPT1 is parallel. You must correct this to USB. The 990C driver is correct.
