• How to uninstall the printer software

  I can't get my printer HP Deskjet 3940v at work; I tried the troubleshooter without result. I want to completely uninstall the printer.

  I have the original disc for the printer that it is came with, so if I can remove all of my hard drive then I can re - install the printer and see if that solves the problem. I don't think that the problem lies in the hardware itself. HP offers more support for this printer.

  Here is the problem and my question for the forum: (I am a novice) I went to Control Panel then printers and removed the printer from this location. But I don't think that uninstalled everything. I looked in programs and features, and I see there, no program to uninstall. (No HP, no Deskjet, no program to a printer).

  I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and it still doesn't show any HP or other programs of the printer on my computer. But there must be something that has to do with the printer still on my computer. I looked in other posts on this site but didn't know what steps to uninstall a printer under Vista.

  Can someone tell me the steps to completely uninstall the printer software?

  I use Vista Home Premium OS on my Sony Vaio computer.

  Hi Mike,.

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following question:

  Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  You can uninstall and reinstall the printer in Device Manager and check if that does the trick.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600: Uninstalled the printer driver and now can not download it from the Web site!

  The error message "printer is off-line" showed a day all of a sudden

  I tried to download the driver of scanning and printing doctor as suggested help forum, never downloaded.

  The download (or Install) window presented with percentage bar.

  but the percentage remains at 0% for 10 minutes.

  I thought that something was wrong with the Scan Doctor

  I decided to take the alternative; uninstall the current printer driver in my computer (computer laptop HP 'Pavilion', Windows8).

  I uninstalled it then tried to download the same driver on the HP site.

  It is same as the pilot of scanning and printing doctor;

  same window, "0% download" forever.

  Now, I'm totally at a loss. Have what wrong I done?  How can I make my printer work again or how do I know what is the problem?

  The driver is big enough, I would say save to disk, and then run the installation program.  You could do a right click on the link here, select "Save as", then download the file.  Depending on your internet speed, it make take some time downloading.  If it doesn't for you please specify exactly what is happening when you try to download the file, and any error messages see you.

  I installed a Samsung universal and now impossible to uninstall with Windows 7 printer driver.  I removed the printer and still no luck.  I read your previous posts and pointed out that the Windows cleanup utility apparently in is no longer available.  How can I remove this driver?

  Hi Peter,.

  Uninstalling the driver is a little different from the uninstallation of software.

  Please follow these steps to remove the driver:

  1. Unlug the printer and restart the computer
  2. Use this guide to remove the old driver: http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm
  3. If you want to use the printer, then install the correct driver now
  4. Plug the printer back

• cannot re - installing the printer driver deskjet 920 HP computer Vistas (inadvertently, removed by mistake)

  When cleaning a Windows Vista laptop, I uninstalled the print driver for the HP Deskjet 920 because I thought it was for a different printer is no longer used.  Usually, you can just download a driver from the HP website; Apparently, this was included in the software for the computer when it was purchased and cannot be downloaded.  There is no way to re - install or I'll simply use another printer?

  Try to download the Deskjet 990c driver.

• How to get around the problem of printing from the printer driver Adobe PDF for Notepad instead of a PDF Document?

  How to get around the problem of printing from the printer driver Adobe PDF for Notepad instead of a PDF Document? I tried the tool 'Repair Acrobat Installation' and other problems listed on the forums, but nothing worked. In the Notepad document is the following ' % [ProductName: distill] % X937B6DD4 not found, using the mail service.» X07BB154E not found, by using the messaging service. % [Page: 1] %% % [Page: 2] % % [Page: 3] % % [Page: 4] % % [Page: 5] % X4EEBB81F not found, by using the messaging service. %% [Error: invalidfont;] OffendingCommand: show; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets ss %% [Flushing: rest of work (end of file) will be ignored] %% %% [warning: PostScript error.] No PDF file produced. ] %%."

  The log file indicates that the Distiller cannot find fonts and besides, fonts with very weird names. (These names can often appear when printing from an application, WPF such as Internet Explorer 9, 10 or 11.)

  My best guess is that the problem is with the options set for the PostScript of PDF from Adobe printer driver instance. Exit the application you were initially impression since. Open the Adobe PDF printer Properties . Then click the Advanced tab. Then click on the button default printing . This should produce a significant window default print Adobe PDF is already opened in the Adobe PDF settings tab. On this tab, there is a checkbox to rely on system only fonts; do not use fonts in the document. If this box is checked, uncheck it and press apply , then OK. Then go to the general tab and press the button Preferences giving the window entitled Adobe PDF printing preferences. Again once, look for the box to rely on system only fonts; do not use document fonts. If this box is checked, uncheck it and press apply , then OK. Then back in the Adobe PDF Properties dialog box main, press apply (if it is enabled), and then click OK. Re-enter the app you were original print and try to print again. Let us know if that fixes the problem.

  PS: Unfortunately, rely on fonts system only turned on by default, causing problems for many applications. I always recommend turning it off (i.e., unchecking it)!

• C6280: Could not locate the printer driver base download

  We have lost our ability to print on the same day as Windows 10 has been applied automatically.  The next day, I have restored our computer to Windows 7 without error, but we have lost our ability to print.  Then, I downloaded the print driver full of features, but received an error message that Setup encountered an unexpected error (code 2203) during the installation of this package.  I tried to use the two methods (USB and ethernet).    I uninstalled and reinstalled the software again, but the same problem has resulted.    I also used the "HP Print and Scan Doctor' and 'impression' Assistant and still have the same problem.  Something in the printer driver fails during installation.  I spent days looking for possible solutions.  Now I'm ready to just install a basic printer driver - but I can't find where it is on the site of HP for Windows 7 (64 bit) for the HP PhotoSmart C6280 all-in-One.  Can you help me?

  What exactly is the software that you have installed?

  Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

  The software is called RegWork.  I had to pay for it.  It is not yet enabled.  It seems to be just a type of utility to clean my system scan.  Since it was recommended by Microsoft Security Essentials, I thought it was the right thing to do.
  Should I continue to carry out this activation or should I unstall it.

  What makes you think that Microsoft Security Essentials recommended
  It? That cannot be good.

  You must uninstall it. Registry cleaning programs are all snake
  oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Leave the
  Only registry and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what a lot
  people think, and try to which suppliers of software record cleaning
  convince you to have used really doesn't hurt registry entries
  you.

  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
  It can have.

  Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

  and also
  http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.

  Method 3:

  If you have the latest version of the software and the error persists, this could be due to malicious software on the computer. Run an anti-malware program to identify and remove malicious software.
