Error 0x000003eb

HP DV73028-CA

Windows 7 64 bit

Printer: Kodak Hero 5.1 wireless

I swear I've tried every fix for this problem... I'm completely stumped.

I deleted the ports, uninstalled, reinstalled, ran, cleaners, spyware, viruses... everything.

Someone at - it a fix for this problem.  product software installed error 0x000003eb tried to connect through the network.

Connected by USB all readers for the installation of the printer (including scan) very well, when down the printer fails.

So now, I have a scanner, but always without printing capabilities.  I decided to just delete all printers installed on my computer and maybe found the problem, but I can't fix it.  I have a canon selphy installed but for the name of the device, it shows the name of the printer that I am trying to install, so I wonder if it is a conflict.  When I removed the printer and restarted, it still shows with pending delete.  I tried to delete the port, but said that the resource is in use.

I've been at this for 3 days... any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This printer makes me crazy. I'll try EPSON next time.

This procedure works well for me.

Do them at your own risk.

Backup registry before doing anything!

Stop the "Print spooler" service first

Then based on your platform to remove all keys below the version-3
for 32 bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3

for 64-bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3

go to the folder '3 '.
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
Rename the in '3.old '.

Start the "print spooler" and install your printers

to start and stop the spooler service, I started cmd.exe as administrator and typed SPLOOER of NET STOP and NET START SPOOLER.

    I was not able to have the installation completely pgm.  It always returns the error 0x000003eb code, and it stops.  As far as I can tell that the only left to install is the driver.  My os is Windows 7 sp1 32 bit printer is new out of the box.  I tried the software supplied with the machine (cd) and a download from the brother Web site.  I have not tried a boot because I don't want to risk having to reinstall windows.   I've seen a number of questions and answers regarding the other printers most HP, but none on brother machines.  I spent an hour on the phone with a brother technician, which concluded with his enunciation of the problem (and the solution) is owned by Microsoft (I'm supposed to think that they hven t had this problem before?).  I did find something interesting in the knowledge base, so I ask the rest of the world for help.  Earlier, I can find something that works, I can finally start early by using the machine.  If anyone can give any help, I changed my email address, so I guess I don't know how to look for answers and I'm not going to post my email address here.

    I'm running Windows 7 (not Vista) and trying to install a Kodak printer driver and get "cannot install the printer. Operation could not be performed. error 0x000003eb"I searched constantly everyday for a fix. You have a solution other than what answers are already in this forum.  I uninstalled and reinstalled tried wireless and usb, installation driver separately, tried to install it in safe mode, run now utility scan.  I think that the problem began with an update of Windows 7 which has hung up and eventually having a corrupted file?

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

  • Vista recognizes the printer but does not load the drivers - error 0x000003eb

    Have even tried to load drivers generic, just to see if it works, no chance.  I have on other computers with XP Pro on them and they picked it up, drivers loaded and works very well, but Vista is a different game. Tried plugging USB and gives the same error. Add a printer recognizes it, but it does not load the drivers. I can type the IP address of the printer and use a little from there prints 3 pages of a point, two pages are all kinds of different characters, it waste paper.

    Microsoft has looked everywhere and they want me to pay for OS problems out there and I'm not a fact. Program there is the problem that they should back is no Vista how the wrong subject.

    Looks like you can have the wrong drivers or not everything you need (drivers, firmware and software) or you do not have the installation in the right order (some require that the printer is connected and on, others require it only and power off, and other required he be attached and powered at a point issue).  I suggest you go to the Xerox support page for your printerhttp://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6250/sprt-enus.html and download everything you need for your printer and your version of Vista.  Then read the articles about how install and configure the printer (unlike many other devices, printers are not intuitive and are picky about the way in which they are installed and will not work if not done according to the instructions). If necessary, that it includes a toll-free technical support number where they may be able to guide you through the process, or at least make sure that you understand the conditions, steps and the order of the steps to do it right yourself.

    I checked on the error and this can mean many things for a great many printers - but I could not find any reference to your specific printer to help us.  It is said that it was a mistake than if you have enabled and UAC if off and then back on it would solve the problem - but that sounds not just for me.  You really need to discuss this with HP and I don't know that they will have you place and operate at any time.  I don't believe technical support is costly (there is no mention of this at all) - but if the fact of telephone support, information on the website is free and they have other means of contact which are free (but are not as effective as a telephone conversation).  If you do the research and read relevant articles, I am sure that you can do.  No, Vista makes it as easy as XP, but it can still be done.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • M276 - Win7 - cannot install the printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003eb)

    Hello

    I have encountered this same problem after charge a laptop Win7 twice.  When the problem occurs, the laptop is impossible to install any printer object on the machine of any provider in the field of devices and printers.  We use the latest solution of complete software from HP.com.  It is a USB printer installation situation.

    The scanner and fax functions are able to install without problem in Device Manager.  We can run the scanner with the HP software without any problems.  However, the print in Device Manager device remains in the category other devices and fails to install every time.

    Anyone has any ideas on where to start for this one?  See the attachment for a screenshot of the error when executing addition MS one assistant of the printer.

    I was able to solve the problem for now.

    We tried a number of solutions:

    1 Add/Remove from Device Manager

    2 Add/Remove tab of device drivers drivers and printers

    3. Uninstall and reinstall with the latest software

    4 charge the laptop

    5 disable HP Smart Install

    6. create alternative USB printer objects in devices and printers

    7. Mrs. FixIt 50979 and 50984

    What ended by us to install the object HP Printing in Device Manager is a manual cleaning of the two areas.  Once these areas have been cleaned for restart us the print spooler, manually pointed objects in the Device Manager for the the driver files on the machine and finished the installation wizard triggered AutoRun automatically power off.

    We have removed all the contents of this folder:

    C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86\3

    We have also removed all HP registry entries in this area:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3

    It was of course a pain in coming to this conclusion, but at least my user works again and be able to print.  Time will tell whether or not something will come and corrupting its Setup again.

    Hi Zyfot,

    First of all, I would say that you add the printer on the vista computer and check.

    1. open Printers by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, hardware and soundand then click Printers.
    2. click on Add a printer.
    3. in the Add Printer Wizard, select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.
    4. in the list of available printers, select the one you want to use, and then click Next. If your computer is connected to a network, only printers listed in Active Directory for your domain are displayed in the list.
    5. If prompted, install the printer driver on your computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    6. follow the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.

    Also, make sure that the print spooler service is running on the windows vista computer.

    A print spooler is the service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.
    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    1. open Administrative Tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    2. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.
    4. under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    5. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Startand then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Driver HP PSC 1317 wont install on windows 7 - please help

    Hi, I really hope that someone will be able to help me solve this problem. I tried for more than a week to try to install the drivers for this printer and nothing has worked!

    I am running windows 7 (64-bit).  I downloaded the driver from the HP website, I tried to install, uninstall, reinstall, I tried all the troubleshooting options (disable the start up programs, firewall, remove temporary files, etc.).  I tried to use windows update, which fails to install updates for the driver as well.  I tried windows update troubleshooting, HP print and scan doctor and everything else that I found online.  but nothing has worked.

    I tried to install the driver from the hp website and it installs everything other than the driver, if I try to install just the driver fails, I get the error message 'Fatal error' no code error with it and there is a check mark next to any other than the driver, which has a red x next to it.

    When windows update tries to install the printer when I connect the usb port of the printer to the computer it finds the driver, try installing and then only comes up with "unable to install the driver"

    another message, that I had on the numerous attempts to install is 'error 0x000003eb', but none of these options of troubleshooting the problem.

    Please someone is able to help me solve this problem?  its driving me crazy!  I just want to be able to print documents, im not bothered about scanning or something else

  • Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

    Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

    First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

    Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

    Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
