"Devices and printers" do not show the printer on LPT1

I recently added a printer on parallel port LPT1: on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit edition.  The installation was successful.  I can print a test page and you can use the printer from applications, including Notepad, Microsoft Word 2010, and command prompt.  I find it puzzling, however, that the printer does not appear in the list of printers in the "Devices and printers" Control Panel applet  Is this a bug in Windows?  Microsoft has a fix available?

Hello Tony,.

Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

Sometimes, this problem appears when printers or other devices using the same driver and port on Windows. When you view the printers installed in "Devices and printers", you may notice that some of the printers or other devices are grouped and are associated with the same printer icon. Scenarios like two or more printers are installed using the same printer and installed driver with the same printer port (i.e. LPT1) shows this kind of behavior.

I suggest you follow the steps described in the article below to get this matter resolved.

Printers using the same driver and port on Windows are grouped as a reporting in devices and printers.

  • has obtained a new wireless network and I can not connect the printer to it.

    I have a photosmart c4780 wireless.  Got a new Airport Express Wireless yesterday.  It is connected to my MacBook Pro without problem, but I can't get the printer to connect to it.

    I have a MacBook Pro, OS v. 10.6.  My HP Photosmart C4780 worked perfectly on my old system wireless (Apple product).  Yesterday I bought a new wireless Airport Express and I can't get the printer to recognize the new system.  Where it shows the name of the printer in the system, the box below (called location) is empty.  I tried to put the name of my Airport in it, but no luck.  I know it just needs to be connected internally somehow, but can't find where the information goes.  I don't have a USB port.  The printer is connected to a modem, and the modem is connected to the radio (is this is what is called the router?) Airport Express - just like it was yesterday when he was working with my old wireless.

    So far, I found all these shapes to be completely useless and a waste of time. I found out how to fix this and it looks like that many people would have put me the answer out there because nobody else will or knows it.

    -Start

    -Explorer window

    -C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS

    And

    -C:\windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS

    -Right click on a folder at a time and select Properties, then on the Security tab and add the user you want to grant access to print and check that the 'Total control' box is checked. If the user name is already there, check the box "total control".

    -Note: Never simply put the group "Everyone" it as it will cause problems if you use a vulnerability scanner.

    It was on a Windows 7 operating system.

    Who should do this; Well it worked for me at least.

    Thanks for nothing, Microsoft and all the people here! ***

    Roger,

    I'm glad to hear that.

    Just to let you know, it is often the case with the monitors.

    They will be the "default"setting, but still have the correct driver.

  • printer not shown in devices and printers - teacher of windows 7, 32 - bit

    I am running windows 7 Professional, and my parallel printer (hp laserjet 5 p) does not appear in my list of devices and printers. I can also access via my LAN.  It doesn't, however, work very well as my default printer. what I have to do to get on the list, I can change the attributes to share?

    launch printmanagement.msc, it is the tool provided by the spooler team to administer local printers

    Apparently the devices and printers will fire this printer on your computer if the parallel port is configured for the SPP.  If you right click on the computer in devices and printers, you can see the menu item printer properties there.    You can change the configuration of the BIOS of your computer.  If the parallel port is an addition on the map please let me know the manufacturer.

    But frankly printmanagement is a better solution.

  • Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

    I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

    It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

    .. .for a while.

    About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

    I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the report viewer for all errors that occur.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620 appearing does not in devices and printers

    Short computer news:

    Computer 1 - ENVY HP dv7 running 64-bit Windows to 8.1

    Computer 2 - Dell XPS 12 running 64-bit Windows 8

    I recently bought a new 8620 Pro of Officejet and currently am having problems actually use it.

    I have already installed the driver for long from the HP website, but the printer does not appear in devices and printers. Not only, I'm unable to send print jobs to the printer from my computer.

    However, the thing that is most troublesome is the appearance of the printer in places such as Device Manager and the print dialog box. I would like to remind that even using the print dialog box or print through any application (E.g. Microsoft Word) in fact the print job never crosses.

    I already reinstalled the driver several times only to get virtually identical results. This problem only seems to occur on my computer main use who WANT a HP dv7.

    I have however a second computer is a Dell XPS 14 where I can use the printer very well.

    With the results of the SFC is not not a complete success and the issue be isolated to this computer, I think that it is time to perform a Refresh of the Windows 8 operating system.
