HP Photosmart c4780 will not install

error message is:

Cannot install the printer.  Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003eb).

says it can't find a driver.  I have a gateway with Windows 7-64

used to connect wireless broadband, d-link router n cable

printer finally takes her (wireless) to 02:00; reinstalled from downloaded file.  So win 7 is working now, but the xp connect only the usb cable.  Always work to put in place the new - old laptop with all its applications again.  But at least we can print.

  • HP Photosmart C4780 all-in-One: Photosmart C4780 will not install on laptop dv7 Pavilin

    My C4780 will not install on my computer laptop dv7. I downloaded the current software on the HP site and tried to use the disc that came with the printer. In both cases, that the installation program begins to run, goes through four steps and when it is installing updates, it disappears from the screen. I do not understand that because it has been installed and operating at once through my wireless network and still work on my desk. I totally uninstalled all the software before you try to reinstall. I even checked to ensure that the appropriate records were in place after not install for the first time. I went through this about six or eight times, try different things each time. I also disabled my antivirus (Panda Cloud AV) and that made no difference. At this point, I'm out of ideas and really need help. I also read some relevant posts in this forum without good results. I need help in the worst way! Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sorry it took so long to get back but things have been hectic. I really believe that my problem was one or more files that are damaged somewhere, so I took the easy way and installed Windows 10. After that I installed the printer and everything is fine now. But I really appreciate your help.

  • HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on a brand new desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software, and when I run it, the installation window disappears shortly after it starts.  No error message.  I ran into several related issues lately.  I can't install a ScanJet 5590 on a new laptop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  Said it ends, but nothing is installed.   Could the fact that there are other HP printers installed on these computers (network printers) installed using driver only before attempting to install the software cause problems?  I spent hours trying to solve these.

    OK, much better progress!

    If the software is always installed, tell him you'll connect later.

    Go to devices and printers, look for the printer here, make sure you that no documents waiting to print and delete the printer if it is there.

    Then go into Device Manager and remove all photosmart series 3200 drivers you find, you may need to click displays hidden on the view menu.

    Thirdly, go back to the devices and printers. Select another printer, as the writer XPS comes with Windows. Along the top, with adding a device, add a printer, print server, you will see properties. What to choose and go to the tab drivers. If you have the HP drivers in there you do not, select them and choose delete and "delete the driver only."

    Now restart and go to your Start menu and your HP folder. You must have installed the software, just no device driver, select "add a device" or "printer setup and software." Installation should complete without problem.

    One last thing, you must temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus installation, in which case he mistakingly tries to block the attempt to install.

    Good impression!

  • Photosmart B8350 will not install

    Help! Bought a new laptop, tried to install the Photosmart B8350 printer, and it fails. I had email HP support and followed their instructions, used the link to download the driver, tried to install it in the selective startup, etc etc, I tried to many times (HOURS), each time starting from scratch. The last email from HP told me to ring a such no (60 p per minute) that I did, to order the CD of form pilot because he could not install driver downloaded. First time it cuts me, second time that he told me that I could not order CD driver, they would not help. So why HP told me to ring their? He told me that I had to order website, so I followed the link, and it took me to a third party site, who said they couldn't help. Where should I go now? I have an expensive printer, a new laptop, and absolutely no functionality! Microsoft Help referred me to HP, Toshiba (laptop) refer me to HP. Please someone take pity. Should I give up?

    Thanks to this forum! I have read thousands of threads and can't remember who wrote that worked for me, but I know that I am very grateful. This worked was going through the Device Manager, show hidden devices and clicking the printer, hey presto, I am in business.

  • HP Photosmart C6380 will not install on windows 8.1 after upgrade. Can print but not scan.

    I recently updated my windows 8.0 to 8.1 Dell desktop and my 6380 photosomart would not work.  I downloaded the updated driver, and the installer hangs on "rotating disc icon" who then disappears.  It seems that the print function has been installed, but the printer doesn't scan.  Multiple level 4 uninstalls, restarts as well as disabling the firewall during installation;  I can print but not scan.   I know that the printer works fine I can scan my laptop.

  • Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install

    Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install and I think he got the other updates to the installation.  How difficult or get rid of it?

    Hello
    In my view, that it is a software HP printer problem. Please, try the following:

    If you have the HP software on your PC support (printers, etc.)
    the disc when the pop-up window displays a location '1'. Click Browse
    then open the HP disc in the CD drive. A named icon status should
    appear. Click on this icon and load. This will get rid of the
    Status.msi loop.

    If you do not have the original disc. Uninstall HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software and HP update program - then only reinstall the HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software. Do not update, just live with it. The web link for the full features of the software download is provided below.

  • HP Solution Center will not install

    I installed the F4180 Deskjet on my Windows 2000 computer.  Printer works fine but I wanted to check the ink levels and could ' t find the HP Solution Center software.  No registration under program files.  So I released the CD and tried to install again.  There was never an indication that he was installing the Solution Center or HP photosmart software.  So I clicked on run and entered in D:/Setup/SolutionCenter.  It finds the file solutioncenter.msi and a list of zip files that are identified as central to solution.  I have dbl. solutioncenter.msi-click and I get the message "Setup has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package.  The error code is 2732. "So I uninstalled everything and only reinstalled under mode in advance where I am supposed to be able to approve all items being installed.  Well it has finished installing and the last screen said there may be additional screens that appear to guide you through the intstallation of additional software.  No screens never not appeared, and I still haven't installed HP or HP Photosmart software solutions Center.  The CD is damaged?  How can I get this software?

    Thanks for your help.

    The Solution Center will not install on Windows 2000. It is not a bug/problem, but that's just the way it was designed (don't ask me why). If you need to check the ink level, then you have to go to the Toolbox of the printer on the printer properties page.
