detected but printers do not print

My Sony Vaio detects different printers and installs the required drivers, but when we try anything Print print.  Tried on different printers that work with laptops.

Any help gratefully received.

Hello
 
Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. I don't understand how he feels when things don't work the way they should.

How you try to connect to the printer? It's USB or wireless?

Are you using any printer sharing (sharing of USB device) software? This can cause this kind of behavior. In addition, it could be a USB problem. Try changing the printer on another USB port.
 

Follow the steps mentioned below and check if this is useful:

Method 1:

 
If this is not the case, the printer sharing go all printers in control panel/devices and printers/remove / unplug USB login/restart.
After you start your system and then connect the printer usb connection and Windows 7 should find that a new device is added.
 
Method 2:
 
Temporarily disable the firewall, and check if the problem occurs.
 
Note: Enable the firewall after you perform this step, because it would protect your computer from threats.
 

Method 3:

Windows 7 printers will not work if you try to use incompatible device drivers. The problem where Windows 7 printers will not work is solved when you download and install the latest drivers for the printer device is connected to the computer running the latest operating system from Microsoft.

Among other problems is that the printer is not detected when you attach it to a Windows 7 computer via the USB port. In this case, Windows 7 is not able to find the printer or even if it does, it can not find a device in its data base driver. If the computer is connected to the Internet, the operating system tries to access the Windows Update database and find a compatible driver. Although this version fixes a few problems, in other cases you will need to personally find a compatible driver.
 
Uninstall the driver:
a. click the "Control Panel" button located on the window Menu 'Start'.
 
b. double-click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the "Control Panel" window This will create a window that will scan all installed software and present it to you in a list. This list may take a few minutes to complete, depending on the speed of your computer and the number of installed programs.
 
 
c. scroll down the list of programs and locate your printer drivers. These will have the name of your printer manufacturer and the model number in them.
 
d. click after the entry of the driver and then click on the "Uninstall/change" button that appears to the right the driver announcement.

e. follow the on-screen instructions provided by the manufacturer of your driver such as they appear to you after pressing the "Uninstall/change" button to remove the drivers.
 

f. restart your computer for changes to take effect.

Then reinstall the driver.


To search for, download and install the latest drivers for your printer device, log on to the site Web of the manufacturer of the printer and check out for the latest device drivers compatible with Windows 7. Download the software pack and install it manually by double clicking the device driver installer that you downloaded and by following the instructions on the screen. You can open devices and printers from the control panel to check and change the default settings of the printer.

    4. start - devices and printers - add a printer - add a local printer - create a new port - local port and name it QBD_PDF.

    5. Choose install AMYUNI Technologies - Amyuni Document Converter 300 (click the button update windows if it is not on your list).

    6. If windows detects you already have a driver and then choose to replace the current driver. The printer name Quickbooks PDF Converter - do not share the printer - NOT set as the default printer. Finishing

    7. start right click - devices and printers - printer QB, choose printer - properties and go to the Advanced tab.

    8. remove the checkmarks in the 4 elements with square next to them (lower part of the screen) boxes, and then select "Print directly to the printer" press OK to close the window.

    There is no Windows 7 driver for your printer, BUT...

    HP provide instructions that should get your printer working at least... follow them to the letter...

    BTW, the printer MUST be connected through a USB cable...

    I recently downloaded Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print.  Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print.  Can you help me?

    You have installed the drivers and software for your printer?  Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers?  If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

  • I reset my router, now my two wireless printers will not print wireless.

    I reset my router and now none of my HP printers can print wireless.  They print with a USB key, but the installation program for the Wireless does not detect my wireless network.   I use an iMac and Airport extreme router.

    I have a different brand printer that works wirelessly now.  I don't understand why HP printers attached to the network.  Printers are c4780 and 4500.

    I tried your solution but still could not solve the problem.  I called HP support.  After a few minutes they determined that since it was an old printer and I recently updated my software on the computer and did a upgrade to the router, when I reset the router was not compatible with my printer.  They also suggested that I try with an old computer,.

    So, I ordered a HP OJ8600 at a great price and will move the printer on another computer.

    So Bravo are so your information, even if it was my fault for failing to provide more complete information, and given that the printer works somewhere else and I have a compatible printer on the way, I consider that this problem is solved.

    Thank you very much for your help.  I appreciate it.

  • Both my h/p printers do not print my emails properly

    The problem of Script went sofar on Hyves and multiply it with the two explorers.

    In Hyves when you type a message and clicking on send, he said: was unsuccessful. When I looked for the message, it is sent. Also the window with the message; Script runs on this 'page '. You want to continue or stop?

  • I can't have printer to print emails from direct mail, but it does not print attachments

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M9 with Windows 7 Pro installed. I have also a double configuration works very well.
    I use Live Mail on both and last week installed Office 2010. Everything worked fine
    with the HP Laserjet P1102w but the configuration of my wife with the series (Netrwork) Photosmart HP 5510
    would not print directly from Live Mail. Accessories including HTMs) print very well but the plain text
    directly from Live Mail does not print. Print commands do not come to the top. I rebooted Live Mail.
    Advice would be appreciated.

    @anna1943, you should be able to press Ctrl + P to display the print settings.
