How can I print my Microsoft Surface running Windows 8 RT?
How can I print my Microsoft Surface running Windows 8 RT?
Most new wireless printers have an impression of the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT problem. Everything you need to make these printers is tell them to print and they will. Older wireless, Ethernet and USB printers should not have driver officially supported in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printer working. There are different requirements depending on how the printer is connected to the Surface.
Note: All the steps below are only for other HP ink Jet, DeskJet, PhotoSmart and OfficeJet printers. These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers. These steps may not work for all inkjet printers. If these steps do not work, try different drivers in the list until you find the one that works (you'll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below). If none of the drivers work, your printer does not work with the Surface.
For (Ethernet or wireless) network printers, all you need is Surface keyboard or a USB keyboard to connect to the Surface. It is simply what you have to type more easy to type. You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.
- From the right edge, drag your finger to the left on the screen Surface to appear charms bar.
- Press search.
- Under the search box, tap Settings.
- In the search box, type devices and printers.
- Press devices and printers.
- Contact add a printer.
- Tap "my printer is not listed.
- Select the TCP/IP option and then press Next.
- Enter the IP address of the printer and press Next. Note: You can get this from the network printer, or list DHCP in your router Configuration Page.
- The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it. Installation fails, and the Surface will be asked what you want to do, look on the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
- Press 'I want to choose from a list of drivers.
- If no driver is in the list, make sure that the box next to 'Show compatible drivers' is not checked.
- Choose HP in the production list.
- Choose driver DeskJet PCL 3 class in the list of drivers. If this driver does not work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the driver Officejet PCL 3. (Thanks JonW for letting me know about these other alternates.) )
- Press Next.
- Tap Finish.
- Test print.
For USB connected printers, need you a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer.
- Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
- Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
- Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install. If she go to step 14 below.
- From the right edge, drag your finger to the left on the screen Surface to appear charms bar.
- Press search.
- Under the search box, tap Settings.
- In the search box, type Device Manager.
- Press Device Manager.
- Tap view and select Show Hidden.
- Search for the printer in Device Manager. It should be in the other devices section with a yellow warning next to her sign.
- Select the printer in the list.
- Press Action.
- Update driver to touch or to install any what it displays.
- The Surface will ask you what you want to do, look on the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
- Press 'I want to choose from a list of drivers.
- If no driver is in the list, make sure that the box next to 'Show compatible drivers' is not checked.
- Choose HP in the production list.
- Choose driver DeskJet PCL 3 class in the list of drivers. If this driver does not work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the driver Officejet PCL 3. (Thanks JonW for letting me know about these other alternates.) )
- Press Next.
- Tap Finish.
- Test print.
I hope this helps.

How can I restore my Acer laptop running windows Vista to the factory specifications?
I was given an Acer Aspire laptop. It is running Windows Vista with 512 MB memory RAM. It has been used and I want to try to restore it to the factory specifications. How can I do this? I tried system restore and it fails every time.
Hello
you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista
System Restore should not perform a recovery plant
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
____________________________________________________________
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs
__________________________________________________________
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Dell etc recovery disk
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
These are special cables, but they are not expensive.(You can configure a network or a host group (see below))
Connect two computers using a crossover cable (XP - Windows 7 may be the same)

How to print to the printer HP Laserjet of Microsoft Surface running Windows 8.1 RT
I have a HP Laserjet P1006. The MS Surface RT said that it is not a compatible printer. Is there a way to get this working so I can print from the Tablet Surface?
Hi Printertrouble,
Welcome to the HP Forums! Do you get this message when you print or try to install the software? If you get it when you install the software, it causes RT of Windows does not support executable files. I have included a document on the installation of the printer software in Windows or Windows 8 on a Tablet, this will show you how to set up the printer in Windows RT.
Thank you

How can I get my 6 Fusion running Windows 7 to connect to my internet Home Office?
I've been running 6 merger with XP without any problem. Upgrade to Windows 7 to run MS Project 2013 for a project I'm doing and the upgrade installed fine.
However, the Win7 update does not connect to the internet. My Mac connects to fine the station wireless but not Win7. I tried NAT and bridged the settings several times without success.
Fusion 6.0.4
MAC OS: 10.9.4
Windows XP used/supported other network cards virtual than Windows 7. What I suggest is that you stopped virtual machine, create a snapshot (for a way back home in case something does not work as expected), change the guest operating system Windows 7 and save the settings. Then again open the virtual machine settings, remove the existing network adapter, add a new network adapter, save settings, and power on the virtual machine. If it works, you can delete the snapshot. If not, you will need to edit the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file manually and add ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?
How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?
I found the info in this post...
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-files/for-Windows-7-can-i-print-a-listing-of-what-is-in/b233cbeb-647d-4E32-ae1f-8523d62b2dc9Here, a link takes me to an article at this link...
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321379This article explains then that I need to download and run blindly 'Fix - It' application to obtain the simple ability to print a directory window... but it does not say what I'd do once downloaded the general application of "Fix - It" to get this option which should be part of the Windows 7 basic features first.
Or, the article told me that I can "modify the registry" (?) in order to get the print option window... but I know that by having a character moved when editing the registry, it can bring down the entire computer and make it completely unusable.
Those are really the only options to print all simply a window?... in addition to several screenshots and melted together in Photoshop and then print this image?
Why not just give Windows 7 a 'PRINT' button under 'FILE' as other operating systems have always done... has always done Windows default this feature?
This seems just crazy... This misunderstanding?
Thank you
NuMetro
I tried to copy and paste the name of the window... This time I tried while holding down the SHIFT key and it sticks anything in Notepad.
This is not what I've proposed.
- Select the files whose names you want to print. CTRL + A selects all.
- Hold the SHIFT key, then right click on a file and select copy in the path from the context menu. This will put a list of filenames (path) to the Windows Clipboard.
- Click inside a document, and the stick.
Have another go.

How can I determine if I am running XP Pro 32-bit or 64-bit?
How can I determine if I am running XP Pro 32-bit or 64-bit?
How can I determine if I am running XP Pro 32-bit or 64-bit?
In general, with Windows XP, if you have to ask what architecture you are running: you are running Windows XP 32-bit.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
- Click Start.
- Do right click my computer and then click Properties.
If you don't see "x 64 Edition" in the list, then you are running 32-bit Windows XP.
If "x 64 Edition" is listed under system, you are running the 64 bit version of Windows XP.
Another surefire Tip: If your system is fully patched and you have SP3 - you run 32-bit. 64-bit has only until a SP2.
