Difficulty installing and using HP printers on the same two Win XP machine

It is a question of both parties please.

I have two HP printers, a PSC-1400 and a C4280, which I connected to my generic desktop computer Win XP Pro.  I have always used the drivers for the two that come with Win XP and all two prints very well but I would also like to be able to use the scanners in the two that seems to require that I have install both disks that came with the printer.  My problem is that the discs do not autorun when it is installed and I do not know which files must run to start a full installation of the HP software.  Will someone tell me please where to start with the installations?  I have more printed instructions that came with the machine.

A second issue is that I actually have to run both disks for these two machines?  Because the C4280 machine is the most recent of the two, the software include and provide the functionality of AIO for the older machine like the C4280?

Thanks to all those who may be able to get me made in the right direction with this problem.

This announcement will close this request for assistance.  I have two AIO machines work enough for my needs.

To get this far I first removed all HP using my Revo Uninstaller and remove all residues that it found.  Then I took my PC to a Restore Point prior to my attempts to install my HP software.  Of course, I rebooted after the two actions.

Then, I created a fresh Restore Point and then installed the drivers and the base software for my C4280.  It is installed without incident.  No more fatal errors.

With fresh confidence, I installed the full package for my PSC 1410.  He hung up at the stage where he had to find the printer/scanner.  Knowing already that my PC could see the machine OK via the Device Manager, I replaced the printer USB cable but nothing better - the stage of the installation still does not see the machine.  So, I selected the option to connect the printer/scanner later and installation completely without more trouble.

Finally, I tested printing on both machines and could do it without problem.  Then I tested with each scan and was pleasantly surprised to find that two scanned just as they should.  At this point, I have no additional problems in this regard.

I don't know enough about what anyone to explain this sudden success but is not looking for any gift horse in the mouth and thus ends this request for assistance.  One respondent, I thank you a lot for your links.  You must me files downloaded from HP so I was not forced to work from the HP discs.

    I have an adapter that plugs into the micro-usb port and has two connectors USB (life-size). I have attached a USB mouse and one USB key to another and worked well. However, if I plug in a USB mouse and the plug of the charger on the other USB connector (via a USB cable at each end full size) what happens? Would like to fry my tablet, because (in my opinion) I would like to put something in the (electricity) Tablet at the same time as I was taking something (the mouse) via the same micro-USB? The Tablet could not bear, or would I ask it to do too?

    I know this sounds a bit garbled but I did my best to explain what I'm asking, and if someone who can understand what I'm going to talk can help, please, it would be so awesome.

  • Minimum configuration required to install and use adobe products, let me know the specification of the system.  Thank you.

    can someone tell me the system requirements to install and use adobe products.

    Thank you.

    Not a problem at all. Apart from the usual annoyances of big and small, all computers, you can buy currently fully support products CC. Not even expensive computers have enough juice to run most programs, otherwise all of them perfectly smooth (video applications are more demanding).

    I have used Acrobat Pro DC to embed a video clip in a video and, when prompted, updated my copy of Flash Player to 17.0. Now, even if the Adobe site confirms that Flash Player 17.0 is installed and enabled on my system, the video still does not play when I click on the Start button. Instead, I keep getting the prompt direct me to install the necessary revision of the Flash Player. Can any clarify what is happening here and I need to do to remedy this? I'm working on a system with Windows 7.

    You must install the NPAPI Flash Player (for Firefox, etc) not the plugin for Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin. Acrobat cannot use the ActiveX version.

  • May 5 HR and 8 HR be installed and used on the same PC?

    We have several RoboHelp Office X 5 HTML and RoboHelp Office X 5 for Word projects that we manage, none of which are under version control.  We just bought RoboHelp HTML to 8.0 and I would use it with RoboSource Control 3.1.

    May 5 HR and 8 HR be installed and used on the same PC?

    Brian

    Hello

    Here's my setup. I've got RoboHelp HTML X 5, 6, 7 and 8 all laid out side by side and no one is throwing stones at each other.

    Just note that you cannot use 8 to edit an X 5 project then expect to still edit X 5 project later. 8 will change the files and makes it impossible to come back.

  • I built in webcam but you want to install and use a second. Is it possible to where both are used at different times?

    I am wanting to install and use a different webcam sometimes but I have a already built in. I installed the other cam.but it says device cannot be used or already in service; I'm guessing that because I already have a cam. Is there a way I can do and use them both at different times?

    Hi Texaslovely

     

    You cannot capture images using two webcams at the same time. You can try to disable a webcam from the Device Manager, and then try to use the external webcam. See the steps below to disable a device-

    a. go to Device Manager, open the Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation

    b. in Device Manager, look for the device and if you want to disable, and then double-click the device, and then click Driver tab and click on disable.

    I hope this helps.

  • Install Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32 bit on the same drive

    I have Vista 32 bit installed on my laptop. Media recovery is on a recovery partition, I have no recovery DVD such as $85 for something that should be included with my expensive laptop anyway, it is a bit much

    I have a drive to upgrade Windows 7 from my laptop manufacturer that allows me to each upgrade or to start from scratch.

    I want to install Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition for the installation of my 32-bit Vista, but when I boot on the DVD there is no option to select the 32 or 64 bit, it only allows me to install the 32-bit version. I have partitions installed correctly then they arnt the problem. If I try to boot from the recovery partition to install Vista 64 bit on a separate partition, to upgreade can leave, he simply don't say so, it doesn't allow the recovery or replacement of my existing Vista installation. Also, often when I boot to recovery mode, by organizing 0 start up, he simply waits some time and the Vista of boots in any case.

    How should I do to dual boot Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit, as all possible ways I have tried do not work, and I can't afford to buy the madmen of... Toshiba recovery media ?

    The 'disc Windows 7 from the manufacturer of your laptop upgrade' can be used to improve the qualification system of operating from 32-bit of Windows Vista that was originally installed on the laptop.  It cannot be used for any other configuration or purpose. Carey Frisch

    Actually, this isn't just a "upgrade drive" it's a full disc of Windows 7, I know that I can install full Windows 7 32 bit in a separate partition for Vista.

    The problem is solved in any case, I managed to hide my Vista (C) install with Acronis and boot to the WIndows 7 DVD. It then allowed me to install Windows 7 64 bit on the other Partition, because he did not think that 32-bit Windows Vista has been installed on the HARD drive. I managed to deceive it by showing the menu options of 32 bits or 64 bits in this way... I assumed it was a protection system put in place by Microsoft to stop upgrade problems if soemone tried upgrade Vista 32, Windows 7 64

    Now under Vista 32 and Widnws 7 64 on the same computer.

    Creative desktop cloud applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of the operating system. However, the activation is limited to two machines per individual related to the composition, and you may not use the software on these devices simultaneously.
