• OfficeJet 5746: Why my printer does not record twice in devices and printers (direction)?

  My HP Officejet 5743 presents itself as the default printer.  Also the appearance is HP649F6A (series HP Officejet 5740).  Why it appears twice with different BOMs?  Will it affect anything if I remove it?

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request.

  I understand that you use a HP Officejet 5743 e-all-in-one printer with a Windows 10 PC and printer appears twice in the file devices and printers in Windows, with slightly different names. I would like to help with that.

  I was looking into this and found that there is a solution, concerning Direct eventually picked up by your PC if directly on wireless wireless signal the printer is 'On '.  Try the post with the answer of the @vthapa by clicking here.

• 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?

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

  

  If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

  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.

  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

• Photosmart HP 7520: 2 printers appear on devices and printers

  I'm not technical so need help to understand why when I look in the control panel under devices and printers 2 printers appear.  We're the printer default HP Photosmart 7520 series (network) and the other is HP96DC72 (Hp Photosmart 7520 series).  I've included a snapshort of the properties of the two printers appears under devices and printers.  I combined 3 pictures into one.  Point 1: shows the properties under the default printer with the menu drop down list 2 printers, reason why two of them?  Point 2: shows the properties for the second (HP96DC72) indicating that it is a printer web services.  Point 3: displays the properties of the default printer.

  Can someone explain what the hell this is all about?  I have a printer, but defined it in my router as a printer for printing, although I him have not used for this purpose again.

  Any comments will be appreciated.

  Thank you... Ralph

  

  Hello

  Those are two logical printers, and you can use both:

  1. the first condition is connected to your WiFi network normally.

  2. the other is directly connected, you can print even when your network down.

  Kind regards.

• Webcam is displayed in devices and printers, but can not get turned on?

  Original title: webcam 270
  Webcam is displayed in devices and printers, but can not get turned on?

  Hello

  ·         What operating system do you use?

  ·         You're using a built-in or external webcam?

  ·         What is the brand and model of the webcam?

  ·         Were there recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to check in Device Manager if you can detect the webcam. See the link below to open the Device Manager in windows 7:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Device-Manager

   

  Method 2:

  Try to update the drivers for the webcam from the manufacturing site and check if it works:

  Method 3:

  Use the hardware and devices Troubleshooter to fix the problem.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  I was wondering, is your computer itself supposed to be listed under devices in the peripheral zone and printer to Windows 7? Or is it a driver problem.

  Thank you

  For return options have been lost, you need to uninstall and reinstall using the latest drivers from HP. This should retrieve all of your options.

• Photosmart 5515 shows like a scanner in Windows 7 devices and printers

  Product Photosmart 5515-B111H (CQ183B) running on Windows 7 PC. Software seems to have loaded ok. When the install window appears the USB and other connections are indicated, USB has been selected but the connection does not appear on the next screen.  When I looked at devices and printers from the start screen, the 5515 appears as a scanner without the attributes of the printer.  It disappears when the 5515 is disconnected.  How can I connect the printer properly?

• 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.

• 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.

  It would be wise to perform a backup system to be on the safe side.

• Devices and printers in Control Panel

  After the judgment of my HP Deskjet F4580 impression, I uninstalled in the box devices and printers in Control Panel but before could not reinstall it.  I downloaded HP Print and Scan doctor and it fixed my problem and the printer works now. (Yes!)  However, the printer does not display in the peripheral area and printers in Control Panel.  How can I show here?  Or, how can I check what is in the queue?

  Although chronologically I am bordering on seniors, computer tech stuff, I'm not still at nursery school.  Please be very simple!  Thank you

  • Clean boot the computer. How to perform a boot in Windows.
  • Re-install the software using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.

  I hope this helps solve your problem, and have a great day!

• 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.

• 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.
