• Deskjet 6988 printer to wireless network (laptop Envy w / Windows 8.1)

  I got my printer HP Deskjet 6988 years and still it was connected to my desktop via a USB 2.0 cable. I bought a laptop HP Envy with Windows 8.1 and want to connect the printer through my servant/Belkin router network, as the USB 2.0 cable provided with the printer does not seem to work in the USB ports of the desire for direct printing. The software disk did not work in the laptop, so I downloaded the software and utility software (printing and scanning) to 8.1 on the HP site.

  I ran the download, the installation wizard has started, said "the wizard will connect to the internet and help install the best software available for your printer." I clicked on next, and opens a window "Device discovery" and then an another "recovering the device" then... nothing.  The wizard window closes. My installation manual is useless. It tells me to use the wizard on the software disk that does not work on my laptop (and is obsolete and for the operating system still wrong, because it was for my office, which took place on VIsta.)

  I somehow managed to get the printer installed on the laptop - I can see it under the available printers.  And if I have an ethernet cable connected directly from the printer to my router, it will print. But if I unplug the ethernet cable, it will not print. I can't keep the ethernet cable is connected for printing, because the router is in my living room, behind the TV and my office is on the floor. I prefer not to keep my printer on the floor of the living room by our TV, so I really need to work wireless!

  My problem is how to make the printer added to my network (Belkin router) servant. The wireless router is all set up and functional - I use actually it from now to access the internet and to post this message.

  So, my printer is installed on my laptop. The driver is the most recent, intalled today HP.com and I don't have a software disc to use for a Setup Wizard.

  What are the next steps to connect my printer on the network, so I can print wireless? If all goes well, I gave enough information. I have read all sections of the HP.com customer help on service and none of them seem to tell me what to do.

  Thank you!

  By a lot of trial and error, I actually thought about it myself. I did a lot of jumping around, so I hope that I can remember what I did:

  (1) install the printer driver using the diskette or download.

  (2) connect the printer to the router by an ethernet cable, which looks like a big phone cord (no need to connect the printer to your laptop).
  3) implement the system of the laptop 'search' on your laptop and in search type "Network" and then click on the 'Network' link to open it.

  (4) you should see the icon for the printer on your computers and other devices already present on the network.

  (5) double click/tap on the icon of the printer and it will open 'web page' the printer in your browser.

  (6) click / tap the 'Network' tab near the top of the scren.

  (7) in the left sidebar, under 'Connections', click 'Wireless' to open it.

  (8) start and use the wizard to enter your router information. (You must specify the printer a different name here, so you can distinguish it from all other printers on your laptop.) For example, I named mine "Deskjet" 6988 Network)

  (9) unplug the power cord of the printer ethernet.

  (10) If your wireless printer does not appear in the list of printers when you go to print something, you'll need to add:

  11) open looking for new portable computer system and type "Devices and printers" and click / tap on the link.

  12) click on the link "Add a printer" upward. The computer will search for printers and the new network printer should appear in the list (hint: he wil have an IP address in the 'Address' column rather than a file.)

  (13) add the network printer and run the test to ensure that it works. Make your default printer and may delete all other 6988 printers listed if you want to.

  (14) you should now see your network printer in the printer list when you go to print something.

  I hope this helps someone else someday!

• HP Envy m4 Windows 8 do not sleep and wake properly

  I recently got a HP Envy with Windows 8 m4, and every time I try to sleep, he never goes in mode 'sleep'. I'm assuming, since fans are always running up and the power light is still on (not flashing). If I try to wake him up, he doesn't. I tried pressing the power button, by clicking on the mouse and trackpad and typing on the keyboard. I tried to change the settings of the Control Panel, but nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey yal! So, I don't know when it happened, but the problem is solved. I think that there is an update at some point, but I still am Kapersky and am able to sleep and hibernation.

• I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

  I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

  Sincerely,
  A client who is a loss for words.
  Here are some problems in no particular order.
  1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
  The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
  3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
  Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
  5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
  6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
  7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
  8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
   

  The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  Scan of Windows is distinguished by the full feature software for your printer.

  Scan Windows does not specifically say it supports multiple scans in the same file - help and FAQ files are not come in detail on the subject.  Perhaps, it needs to use the ADF (document feeder) to access the features not already apparent.  ??

• How to remove bloatware of envy dv6 Windows 8

  Product name: Envy dv6

  OS: 8 64-bit Windows

  Error message: no

  Changes: No, just open the laptop

  Problem:

  What I try to do is simple:

  I recently bought a new laptop for my girlfriend, but was embarrassed to find that I could not remove all the bloatware that was installed with it (snapfish, games Wildtanget, HP +, HP Games, MUCH more).

  I read a ton of forums, tutorials and tutorials on removing bloatware from what I thought was Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, ect.  I found no usable information.

  I went to uninstall programs in Control Panel System. Frustrating although applications such as snapfish, HP + and HP Games, for example were not on the list of programs.

  I've restored the machine twice now and have found no change in the programs. The list of programs is unchanged. The laptop came with disks of recovery, and from what I've read, that they would also have the bloatware on them.

  How to remove these applications?

  Most new laptops have an option called Image minimized in the Recovery Manager.This recovery HP only reinstalls Windows and important drivers/software. Have you seen such an option?

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03489643

  BTW, HP Recovery Manager also offers the possibility to burn recovery discs.

• How can I activate my HP TrueVision webcam (HP Envy dv7;) Windows 8)

  Really, I'm losing my patience here. My laptop is brand new. I remember the first time I started it, I clicked on CyberLink YouCam and the machine worked. I even took a picture with her.
  
  Since then, I try to activate the webcam and it doesn't work. I wanted to video chat on Skype but the webcam was not enabled, there is no choice of webcam.
  
  I've read that if you go on Facebook and click 'Change your profile picture' and then 'take a picture' it activates the webcam, but not in my case.
  
  When I run CyberLink YouCam, it says that he has not found webcam and if I activate it if I a.
  
  So here's my question: how to turn on the webcam? Please, give me the instructions on how it works. What I have to press the key combination or whatever.
  
  I'm the HP dv7-7202eg with Windows 8. Bought and used in Austria, if that information makes a difference :-)

  If the webcam was working before, it may be "stuck".  If this is the case, then a reset can throw everything is free and you'll be "back in business" in a few minutes.  If the reset does not fix it, there are a few more options.  Stop when it works.

  Downstairs is a Help Guide that goes over the tests and the options you have available on the software to help you solve the problem.

  This is a whole new system. If all else fails, please do call HP and ask for help!  Just because the webcam worked before doesn't mean it works now.  These webcams little are fragile and they can break - the wires are tiny and they can be crushed, twisted or broken at any time.  If the tenacious webcam does not work, call HP and ask for help.  Something may have been missed or nit can be broken!

• Printer feeds a blank sheet with each printed page only with HP Envy and Windows 8

  My HP ENVY Phoenix h9 - 1440t PC running Win 8 causes my HP Photosmart C7280 AIO feed a blank sheet before printing each page.  The printer is connected wireless to the router and works normally when printing to my HP dv9000 equipped of VISTA.  Is this a problem of victory 8?  How should I do?

  Hi Gnerd5

  I understand that the computer with win8 feeds a blank page before printing the Photosmart c7280.

  You go to the website www.hp.com and download drivers for win8?

  The software may not be installed correctly.

  I would recommend that you download the drivers from the url I've provided, simply select the appropriate operating system and if it is 32 bit or 64 bit and select the driver-product installation software.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3204785&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&cc=us

  or you can run the installation of printer HP Assistant for windows from the link below.

• HP Envy 15 Windows 7 Professional clean install Driver questions

  This morning, I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my brand new envy 15 (LW897AV), which includes the deletion of backup partition as the partition driver HP.

  Unfortunately, many drivers not installed, and I can't find a way to find them. This includes Beats audio driver (I have the audio control panel, but it is not connected to the button on the side volume control) as well as the microphone and some drivers that appear in the devices Panel but the diagnosis is not able to find.

  

  Is there a way to fix this now, or should I cave and pay the $20 and get a recovery CD?

  Get it up to 3 Intel Chipset Installation Utility drivers missing... What the devil. I'll get the restore CD. Guess that's what I'm trying to be creative with my software. :/

• 24 - n014 envy: install windows Clean 10

  So bought this computer yesterday. Love despite the slow HD. No problem. Ill throw in my SSD to my laptop. Now can not activate. No Microsoft Help, no help from Hp other then the cat to call and get help for a fee, or talk to microsoft. The license is stored on the motherboard? Really? Went with HP because of the past support... Bad form...

  @nrschoen: what you miss, is that the key to particular product, while being stored in firmware UEFI on the motherboard, is linked to a specific version of Windows on a specific computer.

  You just can't move a disc, hard drive or SSD, with a Windows installation to another machine and expect to work or activate.

  In addition, product keys on OEM machines are tied to this machine, so while you might put a blank SSD in envy, reinstall the OS of HP recovery media, then THAT would activate because the version of the OS in the HP Media matches the product key in the machine version.  But, moving from an existing installation from another machine will not work.

• HP Envy TS m7 Ntbk E0K99UA #ABL: HP Envy laptop Windows 10, clean install and reinstall applications preinstalled

  Hello

  8.1 Windows, I've just updated my HP Envy laptop to Windows 10. I now have a Windows 10 product key (that I found using the Microsoft tool productkey. The update went well. All the drivers have worked. The question isn't here.

  I have to do a clean reinstall of the laptop. Too much shit...

  I know how Windows 10, but I don't know how I'll be able to reinstall the app pre-loaded, he came with the laptop.

  Firstly, Windows 10 kind of RecoveryMgr blocked... I just can't access more...

  If I boot with the drive D or the backup media, I created, I'm only given the opportunity to reinstall completely (but, of course, for Windows 8).

  Two questions:

  1. from the D drive or my backup media, is there a way to separately select application to install? (Everything seems compressed and it allows me to start the installation of each software program.

  2-if I reinstall Windows 8 using backup media, I created (or d reader app), I'll have my own installation... but I'll be able to re-update to Windows 10? (remember, I now have a product key...).

  Thank you.

  Sébastien

  Your best option would be to use the recovery media to reinstall the original OS. Since you have an activation key of license for the original operating system meets the requirement to update Windows 10.

  Once you have done this, you can use the key to creation of Windows Media to create a bootable installation flash drive or to proceed directly to Windows 10.

  Windows 10 installation as an upgrade has the advantage of you to have the applications installed at the origin of the original OS present and ready to use in your new installation of Windows 10.

  Otherwise with a clean install of Windows 10, the HP Recovery Manager wil do not exist, or you can install it separately.
