HP Photosmart 1115 drivers

Although the Windows 7 compatibility database lists the 1115 as compatible, which apparently only means the material will be recognized and placed on the device as a «device not specified» control panel    The device "not specified" still requires a driver to be recognized by Win 7 as a printer, allowing you to use effectively as such.

The latest driver for the 1115 (found in the HP support & drivers section) is '3511_enu_w2k_xp_release' and was published in 2003.   However, when running, the installation of the pilot program will block and expire at the point you will be asked to connect your printer (USB) so he can find it.   As far as I know, if Setup does not find your printer at this time, it will be, at the exit, automatically delete files that it installed.  And so the existing driver does not work as is.

However, there are a few general suggestions from Microsoft support.  Their first proposal, to run the installer in XP compatibility mode does not work.   The installation program always crashes when he's looking for the USB connection.   The second suggestion, to locate and manually associate the .inf, (essentially the raw driver) file, looks enticing, but I could not try because I have no idea where the installer puts this critical file since it loads multiple files in different directories.  In addition, the installation program uninstalls many files when it fails to connect, so I'm not even sure that the .inf file would be available.   Worse, I was unable to find the name of the .inf itself because it is not information HP paper.   Being an experienced user, I'd like to try the second suggestion to Microsoft, but the details needed to do are absent in the world.

I'd be open to any suggestion of workaround.   I need only basic print functions, and buy a new printer is out of the question.

Thanks, it works.

There is a vagueness in the instructions given in the link you gave, which can cause some confusion.   The difference is maybe simply due to the fact that the instructions were describing a Vista instead of Windows 7 installation.    The first part of the instructions in the "Installing and configuring a replacement driver in Windows Vista" are more or less the same for Windows 7.   The only thing I might add is that no matter if the USB cable is still connected when you first assign the printer to the LPT1: port via the "Add a printer" Wizard panel "devices and printers".    With or without the cable connected, the list of pilots eventually will appear, allowing you to associate the "unspecified" device of your printer to one of the default drivers.

The problem is at this point, the printer is now in limbo and still does not print, since the port USB is not the LPT1 port.

The critical step is to designate the LPT1 as the USB port or port "DOT4.    The Vista instructions are incorrect for Windows 7, however.    If you follow the instructions of Vista, right click on the printer icon in the "Devices and printers" Control Panel and selecting 'Properties' option would only lead to a general hardware information panel.    In Windows 7, you must instead, after right click on the printer icon, select "printer properties".  This new properties option is located in the Middle of the drop-down list for a long time, rather than at the end where sits the "Properties" option

The "Printer properties" option leads you to a panel with 8 tabs, 'Security', 'Device settings', 'Services', 'General', 'Sharing', 'Advanced', 'Color management' and 'Ports '.   The "Ports" tab in this Panel offers a long list of checkboxes, with LPT1: already checked by default.   Check-marking the DOT4 port will pass the parameter by default inaccurate LPT1: to the right port, in my case the port USB or DOT4.

  • HP Photosmart 1115: hp photosmart 1115

    Color cartridge is replaced with the new cartridge (bought today) authentic hp HP78XL. Get the following error: "the color cartridge is missing. "follow the cartridge completely in.  I noticed on the cartridge itself, the number is 23 (hp c1823d). The box says that it is HP78XL (c6578a). Could it be causing my problem? Worked fine until I replaced the cartridge.

    Both cartridges are useful?

    Hello @peterm9,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that after buying a new HP ink cartridge (C6578D) HABs 78XL and installing it on your HP printer Photosmart 1115 you get an error message "color cartridge missing". Thanks for the detail, even in your post regarding the part number HP 23 (C1823D) on the new cartridge you installed. I did research into that to see if there was any way that ink HP 23 would be compatible with your HP Photosmart camera and there is no. They are two completely different cartridges. It is very strange that the incorrect cartridge was in the box for your correct HP 78XL cartridge!

    To fix this, I recommend you contact our Technical Support telephone queue.

    HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

    If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

    Worldwide contact HP

    Please have the convenient cartridge as a technical support agent will need to collect information out of the cartridge. There is also a warranty date on the cartridge that the agent will have to. Even if the printers are out of warranty, cartridges have a guarantee of their own and are covered with support.

    I wish you good luck going forward with this!

  • Printing software/Old Photosmart 1115

    I have an old Photosmart 1115.  I want to connect it to my new computer (Windows 7).  What do I need?  In addition, the printer (it or my HP camera at the time) came with printing software that allows me to print a wide variety of sizes (and a variety of sizes on a sheet of paper).  I was not able to find a new program like him.  Do you know if there is?  There are even pages with label sizes, more he had album pages, along with all of the choices like 1 5 x 7, with 2 3x5s and 8 or 9 index everything on a single sheet for example.  Thank you.

    Regarding the printing software, I don't know about albums and size labels, but Microsoft Picture Manager will allow you to print different sizes on one sheet.   You can right click on a file photo on your PC, then select open with--> Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

    Once the software opens, you can choose File--> Print, and a new screen opens.  If you look to the right of the photo, there are options for picture formats and #/ photos per sheet.

    In addition, hp has a download of free software to manipulate photos.  I'll be honest, I have not used it enough to be too familiar with it, but it has some neat features.  You can read more about it here: http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/photo-creations.html

  • Photosmart 1115 on a home network

    I've recently set up a home network with a host running XP and another computer running Vista.  My Photosmart 1115 printer is connected to the XP machine and is shared.  When I try to connect the Vista computer to 1115 printer, I get an error of the pilot saying that the "the server for the HP Photosmart 1115 doesn't have the printer driver installed.

    So I go to the HP website and there is no driver available for Vista 1115.  So I check out some of the forums.  There are workaround posted this use other pilots, but they apply only to local printers.

    How to use one of the workarounds when I connect to a network printer?

    Thank you

    On the Vista machine follow these steps: Navigate to the Printers folder, add a printer, local printer Port, Create \\xpmachine\printername (use the actual share of names for the xp computer and printer share names), then in the list of printers click Windows Update, and then select the set of Deskjet 970 in the list.

    Just upgraded to 10 Windows to install my printer.  I have two options for drivers to install:

    Series of HP Photosmart C6100

    Series of HP Photosmart C6100 BT

    Which one to use?  My printer is bluetooth compatible, but it is usually accessible via the wireless network.

    Hi @brian3ps,

    I understand that you have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and now configure your Photosmart C6100 printer.

    Since you do not use the printer via Bluetooth, I suggest the driver selection of HP Photosmart C6100 series instead of the HP Photosmart C6100 BT series please let me know if you have trouble after completing the installation, and I will gladly do everything I can to help. Thank you.

    I have a Windows Vista operating system. I lost my disc for my printer Photosmart 7350. When you used to "Add a printer" there were dozens of printers listed under HP. The only one I have showing is Photosmart A640 series. It does not work.

  • HP Printer Wizard opens AMD Catalyst Install Manager to install the HP Photosmart basic drivers

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 and want to install HP print and scan drivers for my Photosmart 7515e. However when I try, the wizard always wants to open the Catalyst Install Manager and reinstall this software. I do not understand why this should happen or why there may be a link between the printer drivers and CCC. Does anyone have an idea or an answer? Thanks in advance.

    I spoke with some colleagues and one of them was something you can try.  JonW suggested that CCC could extract to a folder name such as HP software.  The way around this problem would be to access your temp folder, delete the content, extract the software of the printer again, cancel Setup, access the folder temp again, rename the 7z folder, move to a different location 7z folder and run the setup.exe from the new location.  I'm total, instructions from the bottom a little more in detail.  Give it a shot and let me know what happens.

    1. Press the Windows key and type %temp%.
    2. Click the Temp folder.
    3. Press Ctrl + A to select all, or right-click and choose Select all.
    4. Press SHIFT + DELETE to completely delete the contents of the temp folder.  If a message appears saying: it cannot remove a file because it is in use, move this file.
    5. Run, or download and run the installer again.
    6. Once the installation finishes extract and arrives the first screen, cancel the installation.
    7. Access to the Temp folder again.
    8. Click the 7z folder to select it.
    9. Right-click on the 7z file and rename it.  I would say something like HP 7515 drivers in this way it is easy to find.
    10. Right-click on the 7z folder and select cut.
    11. Open a new directory and paste the file or paste the file directly on the desktop.  You can even put the file on a flash/thumb/jump drive and run it from there.
    12. Open the folder.
    13. Find the Setup.exe file and double-click it to run it.
