Help! Computer connection issues / printer after Windows 7 upgrade

I HOPE THAT SOMEONE HERE CAN HELP ME!  I am frustrated beyond belief.

I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.  My computer is a hp dv5 pc, 64-bit.  My wireless printer is a hp OfficeJet J4680c.  Before the upgrade, wireless printing was perfect.

Since the upgrade, when I try to print, two things will happen:

(1) when I try to print, there is a mistake that the document cannot print.

OR

(2) when I try to print, the printer icon appears that the document will print, but nothing happens.  When I right click and open the Active printer, it shows that it is "printing", however the number of pages displayed is n/a.  After 2-3 minutes, the document simply disappears from the print screen, as if it printed.

I went through the troubleshooting steps on my hp PC help & support, I have read the forums for hours and tried various fixes, I went through the center of solutions hp printer troubleshooting steps...

The final diagnosis is that the computer is unable to 'find' the printer. Here is some additional information:

I was able to print occasionally during the troubleshooting process (see below for more information)

All the drivers are up to date.

Computer and the printer are connected to the same network wireless in my house.

Whenever I have manually print the "HP Network Configuration Page," it shows that the printer is "ready".

Windows defender is OFF

The Windows Firewall is DISABLED

3rd party firewall Vipre has been RUNNING, with the same results to be

What follows can offer anyone a clue as to the problem:

Four times during this process of troubleshooting, I completely uninstalled printer and then reinstalled using the updated driver and instructions on the hp Web site.

Whenever during the installation process, the computer does not find the printer, and I have to manually enter the IP address of the printer.  Then, the computer does not find the printer, and the installation continues.  Until he comes to the end, when it is completed at 98%. Then, I get a message:

"Rediscovery printer detected problems. Maybe your PC is not able to track changes in the online status of your printer. If you use firewall software, make sure the port UDP 427 is unblocked from your printer at 192.168.0.5 for your PC. To resolve the problem, try to feed your printer market. »

(of course checked summer port and the printer power is turned and the...) I followed all steps completely).

Then, I give myself a choice or continue installing the software without connecting to the printer, or to continue with the installation of the printer.

When I tried the first choice, install the software without the printer, then I went back later to install the printer. During the installation of the printer, I'm at the same point at 98%, with the same message.

I also tried to install the printer in any case and it ends up all right, and then the printer worked for a day or two. But after a day or two, I'll be once more cannot print, and I will either receive the error message, otherwise it is not only print (SEE the BEGINNING OF THIS POST).

I've tried everything I know to do and no message forum or troubleshooting is now offering me any new information.

Can you help me???

Have you tried the 'updates' on this page?  There is a couple who look like they would help.

  • Print spooler problems and cannot install printer driver after Windows 7 upgrade (80070706)

    I just upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate.  Once installation is complete, I tried to update the drivers and install the latest updates.  Everything worked except for HP LaserJet 4 L driver.  As a first step, whenever the driver tried to install it, the print spooler service may stop working, and the driver installation failed with error code 800F0246.  I then removed everything from the spool directory, rebooted and tried again.  This time, the print spooler service has not prevented from working, but the driver still does not work with error code 80070706.

    I can't find the information for this error (80070706) anywhere on the web.  Any help would be appreciated.

    More information: the HP LaserJet 4 L printer is connected via a parallel to a prolific USB docking cable.  Windows recognizes the printer as the IEEE-1284 device, but says it needs driver to work.

    Update: I was able to manually add the 4L driver using the print server properties dialog box, BUT if I try to add a printer after that, I get "the print processor does not exist.  If I try to add a printer without installing the driver, I get ERROR 0 x 00000002.

    Everything is running as an administrator.  It worked perfectly under Vista.

    Thanks for these links, but these proposals did not help nor solve the problems.

    After a long and painful journey through the registry, I determined that this workstation was already installed 3rd party software, called "Pharos".  Apparently, this software was redirecting the default print processors and was clearly not compatible with Windows 7, although the installation of Win 7 never mentioned a problem of compatibility.  Once this software has been removed, and all the remains erased from the registry, there is now no problems with printers or print spooler.

    In the future, it would be useful that Microsoft has actually provided certain types of useful information when these accidents occur.  Cryptic error numbers and unnecessary event log entries did not provide useful clues.

  • Cannot connect to internet after Windows Update

    I was not able to connect to the internet after windows updates 7 of 14 October 2010, unless I have to restore the system to October 13.

    Hi jlm00926,

    ·        Update that you installed before the problem?

    ·        Are you able to connect to the internet properly now?

    You can set up your computer in a clean boot state. Subsequently, download & install the update manually from the Microsoft Download Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Clean boot will start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs and helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual according to step 7 of the article: how to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    I bought the software update Window 7 Ultimate. I followed the instructions on the box:

    Click the Start button

    In the search box, type Windows Anytime Upgrade

    Click Windows Anytime Upgrade and clide enter an upgrade key.

    Yet, there is no link that says enter an upgrade key. There is only a link to the site Web microsoft talks Windows 7.

    I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Advisor. I did everyting that he told me to do. He checked that the computer was eligible for an upgrade (Toshiba Satellite running Vista).  I tried again with the Windows Anytime Upgrade again. There is still no link to enter the upgrade key.

    What should I do to get to the place to enter the upgrad key?

    Please note that there are no Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) for Windows Vista to Windows 7. There is only Windows Upgrade (WU) in which you need to buy a Windows 7 disc and upgrade of the key. You can refer to the link below for more information about upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7.

  • Portege M800-10V - creator of recovery after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hello

    I have laptop M800-10V protected, which was under vista. I buy an upgrade to windows 7 for my m800.
    first: how to reinstall the toshiba recovery tool creator to save it?

    2nd: the toshiba recovery partition is stay hide, but I don't know how or where is luncher it this function?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The creator of recovery disk can only be used on the pre-installed operating system, in your case of Windows Vista. After upgrading to Windows 7, you can t more use it.

    With other words disk recovery contains only Vista and you can create a new one with Windows 7. After using the recovery disk, you also have the Windows 7 upgrade disk.

  • SOLVED! -Bluetooth not found after Windows 7 upgrade process - U350 only or other institutions?

    Man, I am hoping somone will be able to point me in the right direction...

    Anyway, has received Windows 7 Upgrade disks in the mail and decided to install them today because I had little time. Chose to 'upgrade' to the previous version of Vista (don't hate me for not doing a custom installation, 'clean'), and everything seemed fine, until I realized that my Bluetooth is not working (or even found in Device Manager).

    Run the separate drive Lenovo sent with the Win7 upgrade disk and made me worry more because the installation of driver told me that he could not find a Bluetooth device (which confirmed the same as Device Manager). Tried to download the drivers manually on the internet without success.

    Someone at - it ideas? The only possible 'factor' would be that I usually leave the Bluetooth in Vista, and when I ran the upgrade, Bluetooth was off I would have thought that Win7 would have seen the device anyway (regardless of the situation).

    Thanks to all in advance!

    Really should try to do a Forum search next time (instead of just google)...

    The answer to this was the Fn + F5 to ACTIVATE the Bluetooth module FIRST, before the system would see the in-camera. Once you actually turn, drivers can be installed according to normal... Thank GOD!

    CONGRATULATIONS to all the pioneers who have actually found this in the first place. Hope this was able to help some lost soul who has the same problem a few hours (and installs / uninstalls useless).

    Hi @Raggetty ,

    I understand that you are having problems with the printer via the wireless network. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Since you have moved, you must install the printer on the network.

    If you haven't already done so, restore the default settings of the network printer. Go to configuration, network, restore default network.

    Then set up the printer on the network again.

    Follow this document:

    Configure the printer to a wired network or wireless for the HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-One Printer Series.

    If you need help to set up the printer on the network, let me know.

    Thank you.

The first always computer very well if I unplug the router or modem in any order and reconnect. I don't know how to solve this problem. Ive tried a method due to unplug once, but it worked until I turned off the computer and turn it on again later. I am also under 2 xboxs without any problem. I used cisco connect to diagnose the problem, but he just told me to power and the modem unpulg television cable and I did it with no luck. Please help me with this...

    question aside. second priority.

    Although I have good equipment, the internet is quite slow.

    I have the best service from my supplier that indicates it has up to 50 Mbit/s download speed.

    I ran the speed test internet cisco and only got a maximum of 20 download and upload 5.

    How can I speed this up?

    I really appreciated all help I wouldn't have had to pay $ 30 for a a time phone supports no call for a service that is not of the same cisco.

    First PC is fine, 2 XBOX connect correctly. There could be some settings of the computer that you are trying to connected to the router which prevents from connecting to the internet.

  • Pavilion dv6000: Pavilion dv6000 can't connect to the network after windows 10 upgrade from windows 7

    Need help; I have upgraded to windows 10 and my old laptop has given fresh life.  He hastened to start and stop, did not freeze the computer programs and internet was super fast.  Then it wouldn't connect all of a sudden, or even acknowledge all networks.  No internet is portable useless.  I researched and found that many had problems with card after the upgrade to windows 10, so I started windows 7 and have no problem connecting.  I had a glimpse of what was possible with windows 10 and I want it! can someone help me understand what driver I need to download it to a flash drive before moving on again to 10.

    Well, there is little hope for you, since you have an Intel wireless card.

    I have a HP nc6400 with the same card as yours and it worked very well on W10, and then he leaves suddenly.

    Not as bad than what you lived, but I had to keep restarting the machine and sometimes, it would be just the connection and would not reconnect.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem with mine, so I hope it will work for you too...

    I used this driver... a first on the list for 32 bit.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22116/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-software-and-drivers-for-Windows-7-

    Then I changed some advanced settings for the card in the Device Manager.

    There are more settings on the link that we have for our particular model card.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005585.html

    Hi all

I was able to get the wired machines and the printer goes very well with Windows Vista and the Linksys software. I could not connect wireless laptops. I used the Network Magic program, the Vista network program and the HP Wireless asst without success. I tried using auto detect it on the router, to connect directly from the computer to a wireless network and using the magic network programs, including manual connect and the parameters on a loading USB device and try this on the computer to connect. I'm at my wit's end! Ideas by steps out there on what to do? I rebooted the router and Comcast cable modem x 2 x 4 and all computers at least once. Thank you.
