Error 1327 on installation of c309g photosmart printer - "invalid drive c:\.

Am running Windows XP SP3 and the printer is connected via a wired router

Have recently changed my HARD drive and reinstalled windows etc., original HARD disk is functional but not connected

Original letter from HARD drive is c: new HARD drive partitioned into I: J: & K:, with windows, etc. on K:

After the installation of windows on the new drive, original HARD C:\ drive was briefly re-established as slave to recover the 'Favorites' folder and then broke

When installing printer CD, all right until the error message "drive not valid error 1327 C:\ - go to the web support etc.»

Printing software seems to completely uninstall and requires a re-boot, but there are still a lot of HP entries in the registry

Went pages support web and found the error message that seemed to relate more to a mistake of the drive letter of the CD than the HARD drive but followed steps, copy the disc in the HARD drive, download the full drivers etc Web but every time got exactly the same message

Final solution should contact the support technician to correct the registry entries, but this seems to cost £21 so eager to find a solution elsewhere

Can someone please?

Hello sidsilver

The problem is that there is a problem with the the drive letters on your computer. Microsoft suggests that you change the system for anything other than C:\ drive because many Windows programs refer to specific drive letters. It is part of the reason that the system drive can not have his letter changed without reinstalling the operating system. Change, add, or remove a drive (windows.microsoft.com) Letter

At this point, the best solution would be to re - install Windows on the computer and install it on the C:\ drive/partition.

However, before you reinstall Windows try the following:

  1. Open the command prompt
  2. type: "subst C: K:\. "without the quotes and press to enter.
  3. Restart and try to reinstall again.

    Any ideas?

    David

    I know this post is very old, but it is the top google result when searching on this question, so I thought that a useful response would be in order.  I also had this problem, but I discovered the problem in the way I had my place set for My Documents, my pictures, etc..

    Short answer, you must use UNC paths for mapping.

    Longer answer - like you, I have a House (in my case sup) drive connected to my network of the company.  So, I can navigate to U:\Documents.  I had put the location of my documents (and other user files) to U:\Documents, well it worked most of the time it's really not the right way to do it.  If you open your drive mapped in file Explorer, the window title bar will show you the UNC patch.  It will look something like this: yourUsername (\\servername\home$).  Set the location of your My Documents, etc. to match - for example, to \\servername\home$\yourUsername\Documents

    Note that you can not change just the My Documents - you must fix all of your user files that point to a network drive letter (C:\Users\blah bla... is fine) in the format of a UNC path instead.  Then re-run the installation of acrobat and you should be golden.  If the foregoing makes no sense to you, or you do not have the required privileges on your workstation, talk to your resource and they will be able to sort it out for you.

    You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and it seems to be the cause of this problem for most, if not all, users.

    See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    I got McAfee, but the connection has started working again on its own so I thought I was clear of problems. However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually. So stick with McAfee you don't follow their procedure of fix would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated and, like other McAfee ads have since explained, the application did not refer to its database of threats correctly [and this could explain part of the variability of the symptoms of failure but all involved loss of internet connection]. Actually, I removed McAfee then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].

  • Photosmart printer

    I use my laptop via a router. I added a new router and now my 310 all-in-one a not print and the blue wireless light flashes.  What can I do?  My laptop uses Windows 8.  My office uses XP and is also not printing, even though it is directly connected.

    Your XP desktop computer is directly connected to what?

    Most probably, you use a wifi connection for your printer and the installation of the new router has resulted in the printer is automatically assigned a new IP address that is different from the IP address configured in Windows when you initially installed the printer.

    Is there an error message on the LCD of the printer? If so, please provide the full text.

    What you need to do is to configure the printer to use a static IP address and then re - install the printer on both computers so that they have the correct address.

    If you need detailed instructions on how to do the above, please start by providing the following information:

    FIRST PART

    1. is the printer connected by USB cable to do anything?  If so, what is it connected?

    2. What is the brand and model of your new router?  Please, look at the label on the back or the bottom of the unit and include any version of material that could be mentioned.

    3 follow these steps on each computer (use the one which lets you post your answer here).

    Open a command prompt window *.

    • In the black command prompt window, type the following command, and press ENTER after each line

    ipconfig/all > "% userprofile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Notepad '% userprofile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.

    output

    • In the opened Notepad window, click Edit > select all (or press CTRL + A) and then click Edit > copy (or press Ctrl + C)
    • In the body of your Question, right-click > paste (or press CTRL + V) the data of the Notepad window
    • Close Notepad and remove ipinfo.txt from your desktop

    * To open a XP command prompt window, click Start, and then click Run.  Type "cmd.exe" (without the quotes) in the "Open" box, and then click OK.

    To open a command prompt in Windows 8 or 8.1, see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/command-prompt-windows-8.htm

    SECOND PART

    In addition to the ipconfig information, print a Network Configuration Page using the controls on the front panel of your printer.  For instructions, see--> http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-Premium-e-All-in-One-Printer---C310a/4023238/model/4231204/document/c02788951

  • Photosmart printer 7520

    Bought the printer 7520 week last as a replacement for our Photosmart Premium C310. When we go to print anything, the list of options is so small, I wonder if there is an error in the installation of the software. We used to be able to select from about 5 different printing processes, select 2 faces automatic printing or not and in levels of gray or black print without having to go into the Advanced tab. He was there in the preferences. Can someone let me know if I made a mistake in installation or is it that 7520 fundamental?

    Hello

    It's much more simple default configuration and users can change if necessary for a particular job. Please use the preferences under the HP printer Assistant:

    (a) double-click the desktop printer icon.

    (b) click on set preferences.

    (c) click on advanced

    d select options to print to default ea,

    (e) click apply/Ok

    When a particular impression, you can override the default values. In many cases, the printer going more like deafault said without borders but you want to print duplex on plain paper.

    I've done an update for a long time on an old computer unused spare XP and Windows Update said that he had to update a large number of files, so I have left to download and install.  Once the 45 updates completed, I rebooted as instructed and proceeded to clean a lot of old data.  Apparently I deleted (7) files for Office M/S that must be installed, because the Winows Update icon in the status bar telling me I had 7 sto update to install.
