Devices and printers icons

How do I change the icon of the generic printer for a period that best represents my printer. No problem on the other two systems with Win7, but the new machine gives me a way to change. It is for me a custom icon for my HP printer, but a generic for my Epson printer. Have some custom icons for the two printers on other machines in Win7. Help!

There is a lot of information on the web about this.  For example, to see the results of this research--> https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+7+devices+and+printers+icons+change&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

This tutorial explains how to make custom icons for devices Printers &--> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/224162-devices-printers-change-device-icons-custom-icons.html

But since your other Win 7 systems give you a specific device for your printer icon, I think all you have to do on this system is to check the appropriate box as shown here--> http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-7-download-latest-drivers-icons-devices-automatically once you check the box, you need to maybe reboot or do a manual Windows Update check updates to download the correct icon.

  • Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

    Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

    The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

  • Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

    I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

    The problem has been resolved.

    HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

    When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.

  • Where are stored the icons "devices and printers"?

    I want to use the icons that appear for my devices in "Devices and printers", but I don't know where Windows stores. It is easier for me to see what the hardware actually looks like instead of trying to remember that drive E is in the dock but F Drive is a USB key connected to the doch, etc..

    The answer is integrated peripheral Windows\System32\DDOres.dllnfor and \programdata\microsoft\windows\devicemetadatacache\dmrccache\en-us\ with a unique folder for installed devices ID.

  • In devices and printers, I have an icon for a laptop with a yellow exclamation point. I have a desktop computer and remove this icon of the laptop.

    A laptop once was connected to my desktop via USB cable PC; It belonged to me.  The owner wants to access its database of the company, but in vain.

    Now, in devices and printers, I have a laptop icon that is not one of my devices, but the Device Manager lists in "Other devices" with a (USB) universal serial bus controller, which is also included in the icon of the computer laptop properties under the material.  The yellow exclamation point is for troubleshooting.  The problem is: I do not own a laptop device.

    I want to remove the icon of the laptop and its inscriptions, including the (USB) universal serial bus controller.  Both are marked by a yellow exclamation point, but, of course, they do not work because they do not exist.  But this icon of the laptop has name my PC on it.

    My desktop PC should not be listed in devices and printers, does it?

  • Cannot remove the icon of the printer generic devices and printers

    Title: Removing 'generic icon' page devices and printers in Control Panel

    I had reinstalled a HP Photosmart Premium printer and it worked last night, but this morning, I discovered that I was not able to print to the printer (the option for this printer was not available).

    I went to the control panel and the page devices and printers and clicked on "add a printer". However, I accidentally created a generic icon (printer, Scanner, copier) on this page.  I then added my printer and the icon that it is now on the page, but the generic icon is still there.  When I select this icon, I don't seem to be able to remove.

    It could be that this is a transient condition, but it's still annoying to have this icon (which is now useless).  What can I do?

  • Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

    I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

    It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

  • "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.

  • My printers are not displayed in devices and printers

    When I click on devices and printers appear none of my printers.  I need to remove a printer that is installed on a computer crashed accidentally got checked as a default printer.  When my used printers appears and I deleted a printer he would show back up again.  Now, I'd be happy if I could see them listed.  Windows runs to look for, but no icons never appear.

    I need to access my list of installed printers to manage!

    I'm confused.

    Each machine can have a different default printer - so why would you need to remove the printer to a device has crashed? The fact that the aircraft crashed had a particular printer as default does not affect any other machine.
    You are now working on a new machine?
    If Yes, have you actually installed your printers? (Are they not magically...)
