Don't port look for a printer in windows xp mode and virtual PC

Have an older Calcomp plotter.  Used with Win xp.  The drivers are not compatible with windows 7 (64).  Upgrade to Win 7 Professional, downloaded xp mode and virtual PC.  All right.  Installed my plotter in xp Mode, but can't seem to find the plotter to printer usb port is connected to.  Knowledge tracer works because as I tried different ports, the test print on my HP printer that is set up a home network.  Reading the different instructions, but they are above my head.   Have HP touchsmart w / three usb ports on the back.  One of these ports to connect printer.  I think I need to make a set to the top of USB devices in xp mode, but do not understand what I have to do.  Anyone using xp mode and windows virtual PC with windows 7 that can simply explain it would be appreciated greatly.

In XP Mode, set the plotter to XP Mode in the USB menu in XP Mode header bar.

  • Aspire One D255E don't look for a printer connected to the USB port

    My D255E an Aspire don't look for a printer connected to the USB port.  I've never used a printer on this computer before.  Windows 7 Starter will support a printer?

    It should be.  Try these steps and results reports:

    When you turn on and connect the printer via USB, shows tasks for animation in the system tray at the right end of the bar, click it and monitor driver installation.  If the pilot goes then printer must print and perhaps scanning of base via the Windows fax and scanning utility.  To find such a piece of utility type its name in the search box.

    If the driver does not load type of devices and printers in the box to start the search, open it, check if printer is already displayed, right-click on it to open the properties, and try to print a Test page. If it does not print right click on printer again to solve problems.

    If the printer is not listed visit Support downloads of the printer Web page to download and install the base driver.  If a wireless printer, you will need the complete package to do it fully implemented.  If you want to be able to scan from the top of the printer to the PC, then you also need the full package.  Keep track of the configuration screens when you install the software.

  • Looking for a printer

    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking for a printer that suite me for about a week now and still have not decided what to buy. I am inclined to it right now

    I print around 10-50 pages per month and I decided to get an all-in-one printer with a USB 2.0 support.

    I'm not interested in Wifi or network printer as I have a pogo plug in unit.

    I don't mean for print speeds high I print very less.

    When I looked at the HP inkjet printers, means advised pages to print is 400 pages per month, which is much more than what I will use eventually.

    My friends tell me, inkjet printer when it is insufficiently used to frequent replacement of the cartridge and that I should go for Laser alternatives. With my needs as a kid, I don't feel comfortable for a costly option.

    Is there a printer that will suit me?

    I have very little knowledge about printers and would appreciate any help

    Thanks in advance,
    Marie Charlotte

    Hello-

    Officejet printers would work very well in a situation like this. They will perform auto maintenance that keeps the head of printing and cartridges in good health. As long as you turn off the printer correctly (with power button / stop) they joined the cartridges in the "Service station".

    I would recommend an Officejet 6700:

    Is there a way to 'batch' record as very? We have a customer who regularly sends files without all the embedded fonts. To clean the files for digital printing, save us as Postscript and pass them through Distller. "Save as Postscript is the longest part of the process, then I would be able to automate it.  Any ideas?

    This is the worst absolute way to embed fonts for PostScript through deletes dynamic transparency, color management, bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. Yucck!  You are in many ways to ruin the files, do not clean them.

    Acrobat Preflight has a correction for embedding fonts. Takes only a few seconds per file PDF. And if you have a bunch of these files, you can create an action to do this.

  • installation of the software of the printer for my printer in windows 8.1

    My computer crashed and I need to do a factory restore I did successfully a few weeks before and when you are prompted in the installed updates Windows 8.1 (I was already on Windows 8.0). I installed all my software with success except the complete software and drivers for my HP Officejet 6500 e709n wireless. I downloaded this in 'download' for HP.com, no problem, however, when I try to run the program, I can't get to the extent where to extract the files. They extracted, but nothing happens after that. I looked on this website and generally in line, tried everything imaginable, but still no luck.

    I can print but I cannot use the scanner and really this need.

    I have since the pnp (Plug & play) for the printer is missing any ideas where I can find it.

    Hi anotherangel

    Sorry, it's so frustrating.

    I have provided a few steps by which you can try to see if you can get the printer working on the Win 8.1.

    Run all windows updates.

    Here is a url to temporarily disable all the startup programs to see if one of them is causing problems.
    http://winsupersite.com/Windows-8/Windows-8-tip-manage-startup-applications

    You must follow the same steps to enable all again when you have finished the installation and testing of the printer.

    Here is a document to restart the spooler to print on 8 to win.

  • various error messages - cannot get old matrix printer that works with xp for the printer in windows 7

    I have a new pc with windows 7 - I have an old panasonic kxp 3696 PARALLEL port printer that works fine with xp - I bought a decoder directional bi to convert the port PARALLEL to the usb port and is connected to my lenovo m81 - computer came with pre installed epson fx series 1 136 driver in the Inbox (this is the driver of windows 7 recommended by panasonic for this printer)-I managed to print a test page and something of Word-, I then downloaded our accounting software and added an hp printer - in the process, I removed the usb connection and later reinstalled anbother port - since then I could not print all documents or bills - I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer - I deleted and created ports - initially the docs crammed into a queue for printing - I then changed the setting to print online and print test page new - now I send documents to print and they do not appear in the print queue - it seems to be multiple of the printer on the computer copies when I reinstall - also get a message that is not network printer (the printer is connected by usb) and another message00? 0000? etc.

    I used the printer add - local port - function and then create a new port that I called epson - someone can talk me through the process in detail.

    specifically what port should I use (local or create new)? I used the port usb - is that correct?

    If I print a test page? I would be able to print documents?

    If I get epson 1 and exemplary epson 2 - has actually deleted the printer driver?

    Please note I have contacted panasonic who can't stand the printer-I called epson that does not support the old drivers and lenovo that says it's a software problem talk to microsoft.

    We also run windows 7 64 bit in xp for the printer mode if so? How?

    Hello

    I suggest you to uninstall the printer drivers and then use the driver file that you want to install by using the procedure - below

    a. click Start, click Control Panel , and search for printers , and then double-click Printers.
    b. now, click Add Printer.
    c. Select Add a local printer and click create a new port.
    d. Select Local Port and click Next.
    e. type in "[\\computer name\printer name]"(sans les guillemets) for the Port name and click OK. ""
    f. follow the instructions to complete the installation. During the installation, when you are prompted to choose a good driver; Click the "disk".
    g. navigate to the driver file that you have on the computer, and then click OK. Now, check if the printer is correctly installed.

  • "looking for credential tiles" - unsuccessful removal of Veriface and ReadyComm - HELP :(

    Hello

    I did some research and tried and called and did everything, but can't seem to get my Lenovo to play nice.

    I bought this computer only a month or two before and have placed since my materials of the entire work here so a total rebuild of the system's very unnatractive.

    My main problem is, when I put up Outlook 2010 (expensive full version) with my exchange account that is hosted by Go Daddy (who were very patient with me and all my calls - it was also the expensive full version and all settings have been checked several times so it isn't a fault it), if I config it automatically or manually , the "Windows - Microsoft Outlook security - connection to [name]@[domain].com - looking for credential tiles]" pop box and will not die.

    I have read the forums and I saw that people had success uninstall (or the less disabling) ReadyComm (which was very difficult to find, but I did) and VeriFace I went and made through Control Panel.

    I restarted my computer and VeriFace has obviously not been eliminated, and the message of credential tiles was always there.

    I started my computer in safe mode, fact the msconfig and c:\programdata steps, actually purchased a software that promised to help me remove programs during good behaviour and all nothing is helping.

    I'm at the point now where I just want out of here, all programs from Lenovo (even if I'm afraid of the stuffing something upward) and all the downtime of not being able to use Outlook correctly (and trying to uninstall everything) drives me crazy.

    I actually did call to Geeks2U services, and even they couldn't fix it.

    Why is it so difficult to get around this? How can I make without a comprehensive re - build? Is there anyone out there?

    I do some reading in the tiles credential... my apologies in advance, as I'm not familiar with windows key rings.

    It seems that your research is correct: VeriFace interferes with the authentication system.

    Have you tried to reinstall VeriFace from the site, so that you can do a complete uninstall of it? If this does not work, could you post the errors that occur in your event viewer? There could be an indication as to where the authentication will fail.

    So that this can be closed, I'll make my own answer and that might help others.
