Help with installation of LaserJet 4200 L with USB on Windows 7 laptop/Vista desktop

Hi, I have a HP LaserJet 4200 L printer I need to set up home. He is a former model of printer is not a LAN Jack for a Cat-5 cable. Provided with a parallel to parallel cable.   I need to install it on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. I bought a parallel to USB cable - connected to my computer, but can't seem to put in place. It automatically installed Deskjet 2500 printer on my computer - I still can't get it to work. I tried to download a new driver for the 4200 (Windows 7, 64-bit compatible). But still can't make it work.  I also tried to install it on your desktop with Vista 32 bit by plugging it into the USB port, but he did the same thing: installed a printer deskjet 2500. New driver has failed. I'm obviously a bad thing.

What I am doing wrong?  Can someone help me with a step by step instruction? I'm not an IT professional.

Thanks in advance for your much need help!

Thank you, David! I appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI". Y at - it solution or another method?

    Hi ErikLee,

    Do you have MS Outlook installed on your computer?

    Windows mail import and export opportunities are limited to an Outlook .pst file or an Exchange Server mailbox. They are available only if MS Outlook is installed.
    If MS Outlook is not installed and you start an import or export action, the necessary support files are not present for Windows mail complete the operation. Then I suggest you to install Outlook temporarily and see if the problem is resolved.

    Follow the instructions below and check if the problem is resolved.

    1. reboot your computer, and then start Windows Mail.
    2. on the Tools menu, click Options.
    3. in the connection tab, click on edit to open the Internet Properties dialog box.
    4. in the tab programs, click on an application other than Windows mail e-mail in the e-mail list. Click on apply and then click OK.
    5. click OK again to close the Options dialog box.
    6. exit Windows mail and restart Windows mail.

    If this does not work, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail to import or export messages that may help you resolve the issue.

    To download Windows Live Mail, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    For more information about Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    I am currently the owner of desktop HP Pavilion 500-214.

    I noticed that the USB 3.0 ports do not seem to work.  Tried with 2 different brands of USB cables now.

    I connect my Samsung S5 with USB 3.0 desktop.  It connects to the 3.0 for a few seconds and then gives the message "cannot connect USB 3.0 devices.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, how to fix?  Or the troubleshooting steps that you might suggest?

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    "So there is no way to use USB 3.0" so it seems.  It is a problem of Samsung and Windows 10 and not HP

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5 - 1140d: need help with relocation to Windows 7 from Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Hello. I am currently using a Windows 10 Technical Preview in my office and want to install the official version of Windows 10. However, Microsoft has answered me, in order to install the FREE Windows Home 10 fresh new official retail version, I have to go back to the previous version which is Windows 7 then updated via windows update. I tried to check with HP Recovery Manager, but there is no option to return to windows 7. Only it has option to reset the tech 10 preview windows. So I went to the Microsoft website to download the ISO of Windows 7 files to install in flash player, it asks for the product key. And then I entered the key correctly which is stuck on my Windows product key sticker desktop. But he didn't and the message that this is a key of the OS preinstalled, contact your manufacturer. Now, I'm stuck with how to return to Windows 7! I need help ASAP! Thank you. I did backup and everything so much already.

    Yes, M$ makes it seem as if the OEM product key will work, but it does not work. There are choices and it depends on how you wish to just to proceed.

    As the model number is not included in the post, it is only a general Council, here.  You can make one of these to restore Windows 7 to useful step.

    (1) reinstall Windows from the recovery disks set - if you do not, order of HP for a low price ~ $ 25 - $30 US

    (2) check if the recovery Partition (usually D :) there is and run recovery from that)

    3) reinstall using Winows 7 retail disc and allows to activate the COA key

    (4) buy 10 Windows and install

  • Help with error message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.

    Original title: help with error message... Please...!

    I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003.  When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.  He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."

    I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual.  I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality.  I can not type in a new product key because I did not.  I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!

    I'm quite desperate, I travel docs to print and e-mail to answer and I don't have any idea what is happening.  Please can someone help with this not very IT clued-up DTP...!

    Moved from Vista programs Forum.

    You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

  • Need help with upgrade from WXP MCE for Vista Ultimate on Qosmio G30 - 175

    Hi all, I tried to search for the problem following without success so I would be very grateful if someone could help and point me in the right direction:

    "Tried to upgrade XP to ultimate and he arrived at the stadium and BSOD unpacking" Session3_initialization_failed (xxx STOP: 0x0000006F (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) appeared several times.) I tried again and the same thing happened.

    I have already updated the BIOS and stripped the conflict out of the suite of Toshiba of programs and update Advisor gave the OK on several occasions before attempting this exercise.

    Help... Dave

    I forgot to mention also that I'm running with 2 x 2 GB of Ram and no software or additional material has been added before attempting the upgrade. The medium I use to upgrade is that a full version recently bought 32-bit Vista Ultimate (which also includes a 64-bit in the box version, too).

    I was in contact with Microsoft Support these days and they told me that my hard drive seems to be defective as the reason for the failure of the upgrade. Infact last week with Microsoft on the phone did us try a clean install, but that just lead to me having to give up the clean installs and rescue my laptop back to original XP MCE... flipping hell!

  • Help with download of Windows Live Movie Maker!

    Hello!

    So, I tried to download because of Windows Live Movie Maker I have some videos that I want to change, and I heard that Movie Maker is awesome!
    When I go on the site for download, I get this:
    This version of Movie Maker is not available for Windows XP. Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is available if you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
    So I tried to download a lot of things, but in weakened technology with faculties, I found myself with a lot of unnecessary things.

    I was wondering if someone can give a microsoft site, where I can download Windows XP Service Pack 2? As a reliable site, preferably from microsoft.
    I found this on the microsoft Web site:

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers

    But I do not know or think that that's what I need. All I want is Windows XP Service Pack 2 so I can use Movie Maker.

    Help would be much appreciated!

  • Need help with the decision of the laptop

    I'm sorry for the length of this post, but I really need help. I am buying a laptop and what should be a very exciting perspective (my first laptop purchase) turns into a nightmare that had me pretty much in tears over the weekend.

    My budget is not big - absolute maximum of 600 pounds, but I'd rather spend a little less than that.

    I mainly work of office (Word, Excel, database and PowerPoint) and also some Photoshop work. I also play a strategy game called Caesar 3. I want to charge my copy of XP on the computer or replace Vista or as a partition.

    Looking through the available templates in my price range and rising benchmarks, I found the following:

    Most have processors such as the Intel T5250 or T5450 or AMD TL 58, which are all rated as ok, but not very well. Some have the AMD TL 60, which is a little better and one or two have the T7200 Intel which is even better.

    On most of the machines graphics cards are the ATI Radeon Xpress X 1200 or the Intel GMA X 3100. These two are calibrated as not terrible and the review says that they cannot manage strategy games. Some of the models have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 and HD 2400XT and one or two have the HD 2600.

    The problem is that the models that have the best processor have the lower rated graphics card and those who do not have XP drivers, I see.

    Don't mind a 15.4 screen "(although the 17.1" would be very nice to have) and want a pretty big hard drive (160 +). I get 2 GB of RAM.

    I'm at my wits end. I don't want to buy a computer that will eventually take a minute or more to refresh a screen when you have more than two things open, or you will have to keep rebooting to make it work. I want to be able to play my one and only (Caesar III) game which is a strategy game and I want to be able to work in Photoshop and maybe one or two other things open at the same time, as a website perhaps.

    Help me please, anyone. I asking the impossible? I can't get my hands on an email address for Toshiba try to get clarity on their part on the issue of drivers and they will be available in the future.

    Then there is of course the issue detailing as each stock only a limited number of models, and we must choose between those detailing.

    I hope someone can help me!

    Hello

    The problem is you want to buy a laptop all over the place but don t want to spend a lot of money.

    In addition, you want to change the XP operating system and have XP drivers.

    Well it's boyfriend very difficult decision ;)

    A laptop for gaming with the graphics power full card cost slightly more than £ 600
    If you need to make a decision; You want to buy a gaming laptop and to spend more than £ 600 or you will have a notebook that is ideal for everyday use, like watching DVDs, in collaboration with the office software, etc.

    The Caesar game is unknown to me, but I assume that it doesn t need a graphics card high performance and it should work on a normal phone too.

    I think that a Satellite a200 is not bad choice for you, because some A200 laptop computers were shipped with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.

    And very important is that all the XP drivers were already released ;)
