HP Officejet 8500 A909g is not recognized by my computer when plugged into the usb port

I received an email from HP recommend I install new software for my Officejet Pro 8500.  I downloaded the software and installed.  The printer was working, but it would not scan. I got an error message telling me to re install the software because the analysis part has not been installed. I have downlaoded software again and installed it. During installation, the mode had to unplug the printer, so I did. (It is connected using the usb cable directly to the back of the computer).  When installation instructions came at a certain time, it told me to plug the printer. I did, but it was not recognized.  I checked the box to install all the software and install the printer later.  Now is back, and the printer is still not recognized by the computer.  Help, please.

Hi Steve_finch,

What operating system you have installed on the computer?

Have you tried a new USB cable or a USB port on the computer?

  • U2312HM monitor is not recognized by my computer, when you use the USB cable

    I have a Dell XPS L702X running on Windows 7 Professional.  When I connect it to my Dell U2312HM monitor (using the USB cable), does not recognize it at all.  My monitor has a mistake about it, saying: now the VGA cable.  When I try to select the input Source, USB isn't even an option.  I tried to change the ports on my laptop, reboot with the connected monitor, making sure that all the cables are properly inserted.  Nothing seems to work.  Any help would be great.

    Thanks in advance,

    Daniel_hicks1,

    You've lost me. You try to send a laptop computer VIDEO signal in the monitor through a USB cable? If so, it will not work. USB upstream cable connects from the monitor to the computer to activate the USB ports monitor downstream. To get the video from the laptop to the display, you must connect the VGA, DVI or DP of the monitor cable to the laptop.

    I have a xp desktop machine, an external hard drive, computer laptop xp and a computer laptop win7 on a network home via my Lynksys wireless router.  My friend attached external desktop.  Then shared these discs on the network.  He shared them as drives E and F.  I can access these drives very well.  The problem is that on the computer laptop xp now when I click on my computer if there is no zip drives or anything else connected to the computer laptop USB ports it does not show them.  If I go into Device Manager, it shows the mass storage device connected here.

    Hi Mike,.

    Just to follow up with you on that, that very well may be the cause. Especially when it comes to mobile phones, the real cable you use is very important to have all the features when it is plugged into a computer. Where you can try a new USB cable yet, I hope that whoever is completely compatible with this phone.

    If I plug my camara to the computer and show the image files and now when I plug it for the second time that the file showed that copy and the custom of photos to display at all in my computer or any other computer. who is wrong?

    Does this have to do with Internet Explorer 9? In any case...

    Please provide:

    -brand and model of the camera;

    -format of images, for example,. JPG or. NAVE;

Try making sure that your device is set to take the files. JPG or. Format JPEG as Windows will recognize these (or install the codec).

  • Headphones + microphone does not when plugged into the headphone jack on Macbook pro.

    Hello

    I have a problem that has caused me a lot of irritation just because it seems so simple to fix, but Ive tried practically everything that I can think to do better and it has really improved.

    I was skyping the other day and I took my headphones into the headphone. They have a microphone in them. When I plugged hide them in, I could hear the other person, but they could not hear me. It was the first time Id used for Skype, but still, something must happen in this brief moment of ruin.

    So I did some research here and on google and I couldn't find much. The page here titled "Why slope my friend hear me on Skype" seemed to work correctly the first time, I followed his instructions, but to test it, I unplugged my helmet again. Once again, it fouling all upward. I even wrote the settings he was conducting (apple System Preferences) and Skype and when I put them in the way it was when it worked, it worked this time.

    Just to be clear, I fixed it, but then to test it, I took out my helmet again and it has stopped working and even with the same settings, it will not work. It's extremely frustrating.

    It will work when I plug my headphones into the audio jack, but then I can't out of my helmet, which defeats the purpose of having them.

    My headset is not broken and my helmet is not broken because I can listen to music through my headphones and use my headset to call my friend on my helmet.

    I feel that somehow, my helmet (which previously was transmitting my input headphone MIC perfectly) has become messed up somehow (I feel like there must be a setting or something that Im overlooking) and I just need to configure it to work at the time of entry and exit instead of having input/output divided between the helmet and the microphone port.

    I hope this was clear enough. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions that you may find useful.

    I can't tell if it's a Skype problem or a problem of mac, but Im asking here just see what I can learn.

    Thanks in advance

    Too bad. I forgot the first rule to set anything on the computer: turn off and on. It works, but it seems absurd that something like that (what I think is something fairly common) would need to restart your computer.

    Well.

  • USB key into the USB port does not appear in 'my computer '.

    Original title:-drive Flash USB port does not appear

    I have laptop Dell A 4 years and cannot use USB ports. My data flash drive lights flash but nothing shows up in 'MY Computer'

    It turns out that there is a problem connecting to the motherboard... so it ' s not worth repair. However, I believe that I can connect to the Internet by the yellow cable supplied with the router. There is also a card I can buy known as PCMIA card that will give me 2 additional USB ports. It's cheap enough to give it a try.
