Hello

Computer in general, any piece of hardware needs software to operate. Printer is the same, without software, it's a piece of plastic, metal... set up. For printer, depending on the complexity, it is, BUT there are essentially 3 software components

(a) firmware: firmware or hardware.

(b) drivers: go between the operating system and firmware, Operating ssystem commands to convert to something firmware can understand and tell the printer to do the job.

(c) other software: to make life easier such as HP Assistant printer, HP solution... Center and/or for many printers MFP or AIO new OCR software.

I hope this helps.

    Hello

    • Have you tried to connect your printer manually (not through the router, but via a USB connection)?

    The problem is related to the HP software. Then I suggest that you contact HP support for assistance.

    Hi Mauritis,

    Thank you very much for your answers.  If you don't have administrative rights, then you will need to get them.  It may be possible to solve the problem with the drivers that are currently listed, but this problem can be caused by the initial install the disc. I would try the steps below to see if that solves the problem.

    Note: administrative rights must be obtained *.

    1. completely uninstall the device from programs and features

    2. make sure that all instances of the deleted software (programs, Device Manager, etc.).

    3. download and save the correct software

    4 reinstall the unit DOWNLOAD

    Hope that helps and have fun on vacation!

  • I need to install antivirus software on a virtual machine if I only use vm to a printer driver only for windows?

    Hi all

    Searched for an answer via Google and there, qualification so far found no.

    I am currently set up with Fusion 3.0.1/XP Pro on an iMac / Snow Leopard.  The only reason I use the merge on this machine is as follows.  We have a Sony SnapLab Pro UP_CR20L digital photo printer for our personal use.  Brief history on printer: these printers are sold on the commercial aspect of the site of Sony, generally used in kiosk, sales retail store settings.  Sony has provided only a Windows printer driver for this printer, so my need to use Fusion to print from my computer on the SnapLab.

    That being said, I don't want to use the virtual machine for anything other than this one function: printing photos to my photo on the side of Mac through XP for the printer folder.  No internet on the side navigation XP. Period.

    Can anyone offer upward not reasons to play with headaches run the anti-virus on the virtual machine software?

    Thank you all ~

    NONE.  Windows is not also subject to security as everyone seems to think.

    Firstly, Windows is that ALTHOUGH the user.  If you use this VM, and you surf the NET and download files, the USER is the reason Windows crashes, not Windows.

    Windows makes it EASY because you are an administrator rather than forcing users to degenerate into a user Admin Linux by default.

    So if you install Windows 2008 or Windows 7 leave the enabled user access mode, do not put the user Admins member and you will have NO problem.

    So no, YOU can't BC

    What exactly is the software that you have installed?

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    The software is called RegWork.  I had to pay for it.  It is not yet enabled.  It seems to be just a type of utility to clean my system scan.  Since it was recommended by Microsoft Security Essentials, I thought it was the right thing to do.
    Should I continue to carry out this activation or should I unstall it.

    What makes you think that Microsoft Security Essentials recommended
    It? That cannot be good.

    You must uninstall it. Registry cleaning programs are all snake
    oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Leave the
    Only registry and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what a lot
    people think, and try to which suppliers of software record cleaning
    convince you to have used really doesn't hurt registry entries
    you.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    and also
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about your printer Envy and ePrint and wanted to help.

    If your PC comes with printing software already installed, you probably don't need to install it again.

    But... the complete software package includes much more than just the drivers and stuff ePrint.  It installs a shortcut to a Web page where you can check your printer, scan, check the ink levels and many other things.  It includes an OCR software.  It includes the installation of an HP update feature that checks regularly with HP for the printer driver and software updates.

    So, if you don't have these things, it is best to install the complete package from this link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-5600-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/6809225/model/6809226

  • LaserJet 200 color M251MW: driver software cannot find printer wireless HP Laserjet 200

    I have printer HP Laserjet above 200. It's worked great for me and another person in my office. However, I've changed computers, and no matter what I do, the driver cannot find the printer. The other person in my office can always print very well, and my old computer can print always very well. I have disabled the firewall, turn off network security essentials (it is not yet installed antivirus software), provided the IP address, network address, the name of the device, let the software to set up my connection Wireless for HP Direct print. I restarted the printer, restarted my computer, restarted the router wireless, connected the printer directly to my computer via the supplied USB cable. It does not find the printer. I can ping to the IP address of the printer and get a quick response. I can print to other printers on network in the building, I just can't connect using HP. !

    None of that helped him. What is strange, is that when I plug the USB in, it feels immediately there is a printer is connected. It starts to install the software, asking me to acknowledge T & C before you get a read error "unable to create the folder to extract webpack". I am an administrator on this computer and the network, and he gave permission to run. However when I use the driver from HP, it cannot find the printer, even with connected USB? The HP print and scan doctor finds the printer immediately, on the network, but then try to install the same software that does not find the printer.

    I have finally however solve the problem, the key was to not install all other HP services, other than those needed to print. Deselection of all the software options (components 6-8) allowed him to immediately find the printer maybe 2 seconds, select these elements and not found the printer. HP needs to offer a thin driver that actually works, rather than trying to sell ink, just something that allows you to print would be useful. It's frustrating to spend 6 to 8 hours trying to configure a printer when the problem appears to be with the driver.

    For others with this problem, run the HP print scan doctor, download the driver again through this software, deselect all option provided with the driver software and continue.

  • Lexmark printer driver needed help...

    Hi - I have a Lexmark Z23 color inkjet printer I've owned for years, and not having no problem feature on its own.  I've just updated the Windows operating system on my machine from XP to Vista and cannot get the driver software to install.  Lexmark said that they no longer support this model because it is too old and they have confirmed that they have no driver software to install printer Windows Vista model.

    Anyone found a fix for this problem?  I scoured online to see if I can find a 3rd - party that created the necessary files, but have had no luck.

    Thank you!

    If Lexmark says that there are no Vista drivers available, there is nothing that can be done.

    Lexmark wrote the drivers for their products, not Microsoft.
