HP printer device manager! Symbol, "failed to connect" Windows Sound - still Printer Works

Every time you start, I hear the sound of the device "Windows failed to connect.  How can I get rid of this?

I have a printer HP of J6480 with WIn 7.  Device Manager does not recognize the printer driver.

In Device Manager, the printer appears with the! error symbol.  No other devices have an error symbol.  The HP Solution Center and the printer work again.

(1) I tried install fresh of the current HP software full functionality.

(2) I tried the HP uninstaller program, through all five uninstall programs twice.

(3) I ran CCleaner to clear the registry problems.

(4) I tried to delete the Device Manager "Officejet! Entry J6400 series.  The Solution and the printer Center then do not work.  Apparently, the Device Manager recognizes the printer but not the driver.  I have to go to 'Programs', 'HP', then 'Officejet J6400 Series' to reinstall the software.

(5) I tried to get the Device Manager to recognize the software.  When I click on «!» OfficeJet 6400 series', I get the message "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28).  If I then click on 'Update Driver' and select' Browse my computer for driver software"then click on"Browse "C:\Users\Myname\Downloads", where I have the Sofware HP 13.0 full feature software and basic print and Scan Driver files, he says "Windows cannot find driver software".   If I click on "Search automatically by the driver software", I get the same message.

I would appreciate ideas!  Thank you!

Friendlycomputr,

OK, if a few things stood here:

1 windows its "cannot connect device" sounds only with a direct connection, not a network connection which is what you have. (Ethernet)

2. have you had any other device installed on this computer is more active?

I would like you disconnect the Ethernet connection and go below:

1. uninstalling the printer software

2. make a restart on the computer, when it starts, do you hear the sound "device cannot connect?

Let me know.

  • Treo 800w not found in Device Manager and does not connect to ActiveSync

    I just got my Treo 800w and I have ActiveSync it once.  After that, I had a lot of trouble trying to get activesync to say that it was connected to the computer.  After doing some research on Google and help forums looking around, I discovered that the Treo should appear in my device manager when you are connected to the computer.  I went to my device manager and of course, it wasn't there.  After a lot of time trying to make it work, I found that the best thing to do is remove the battery and plug it in again.  Then the computer will find again.

    However, I also learned what was causing my problem and I don't know if it's a windows or a problem of palm, but it is a question.  If you connect a Treo 800w on a WinXP (I don't have Vista so I don't know if this problem exists) and even if you touch it connected the power button on all Windows POPs a message saying a USB device has malfunctioned and will cease to recognize the device.  I then told my wife (the main user of the Treo) to never touch the power button and even less the Treo at all while it is plugged into the computer.

    If this question has already been posted... I'm sorry that I'm not looking for it...

    If you read my entire post it says I already found the solution.  Try all the things you listed didn't work for my problem.  I write only because I believe that it is a bug/problem with palm or windows and the device.  Take the battery, put the battery back in, and reconnect the unit is the only thing that works.

    I also tried to uninstall ActiveSync, reboot, install ActiveSync and the battery... it works too, but it's much faster to just remove the battery then put it back and reconnect the device.

    To answer your other question on ActiveSync Yes, I've got 4.5.

  • Smartphones blackBerry Device Manager update failed

    Hello

    I use a BOLD 9900. lately, BB DEVICE MGR has not detected the 'disconnected' phone, so I installed an update reported by MGR of DEVICE.  the updated bundle 2108 v7.1 2807 bundle v7.1 update. during the sequence of steps displayed on the screen (SAVE; INSTALL; RESET; RESTORATION), the process has stalled to restart the COMPUTER, reports from CONNECTION to the DEVICE (this may take a few minutes). the phone is turned off and nothing has changed in 1 hour approximately.

    Hello ColinMorton,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you experience connection problems after that you run a Microsoft Update. I would recommend you look at the HP support document: Safe Mode of Windows 8 (8.1 is exactly the same) and the safe boot mode. Once you are in Mode safe I would recommend that you look at and follow the steps in the HP Support document: use Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) (8.1 is exactly the same) and restore your system a few days before the update that caused you this problem. This will not affect your applications only personal folders that you have installed in the past few days and/or the settings that you have probably changed. You can simply reinstall the applications and/or re - change the settings later.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

    What you see could be linked to a task that you have schedules (such as anti-virus, defragmentation of the hard drive, etc)

  • Why are there two drivers for my printer in Device Manager?

    Product: HP Photosmart Premium C410 all-in-One printer

    I had several cases where I had to reinstall the printer software. Several times in the course of the last few months, without reason, that I can attribute it to when I try to print, I get an error message that the printer software is not installed.  I followed the instructions carefully for the resettlement of the printer and the printer as HP installation wizard, I downloaded. After deleting the printer in the menu devices and printers and reinstall the printer, I find myself with 2 copies of the Photosmart driver Prem C410 series.  Even if the printer seems to work ok, the Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox keeps giving an error that the printer driver is disabled and asks me if I want to activate.  When I check the drivers in Device Manager. Two copies say they work normally and all information is the same that is to say: driver date, version, details, etc...

    I disable or remove a driver but that we have no idea.

    It's windows, the Device Manager, that means some how windows think you had two different instances of the same printer, this could be due to the installation of several trying, or have you had the unit repaired or replaced? or maybe you changed the connection method (usb/wifi/LAN)? I simply remove these instances and then uninstall the drivers (if they still appear in uninstall) and then download and install the driver full hp.

  • Satellite L300-170 - no network card in Device Manager

    Hello

    I use Toshiba Satellite L300-170.
    I install Windows 7 and realized that my LAN connection does not work.

    In Device Manager, I have only the wireless network adapter which works fine.
    My question is: is - nothing I can install LAN adapter manually and then install driver although my OS does not recognize LAN adapter?

    Hi mate

    First of all, please set the BIOS to default settings.
    Then save changes, connect the LAN cable to the LAN port and reboot the device.
    After that please check in Device Manager if the LAN Controller would appear once again.

    AFAIK some newer laptops supports a new energy saving feature.
    The LAN card is active and appears in Device Manager only if the LAN cable would be connected!

  • "No audio output device is installed" no sound, video controller and game on the Device Manager section,.

    my laptop has no sound, it says no audio installed and the speaker symbol has a red cross on it. I tired all help but nothings worked, and the thing to fix auto could not fix. The Device Manager there is not even a sound, video, game controller section. Sometimes when I put into hibernation and back on I have sound and everything works fine (except when I run itunes and it stops again), but I say that I have no audio device again to restart the laptop. I have the vista updates this. All ideas

    Thank you

    I had the same problem with my Compaq F700 series laptop. His was a work day and does not not the other. I couldn't use most of the patches because they need to have the tab of sound, video, game available and also lacked this tab.

    I tried to do system restore and rolling it back, but the problem has not been resolved. What finally worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, as one month before the problem. When finished restoring the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) necessary to re - install a bunch of updates and after the updates have been installed, everything worked. I suspect that the original problem was a bad update (I.e. has not installed correctly) and one to ride the system goes back to a time before the bad update and then re-installing the update was the fix.
    That said, if the restore option does not or cannot be I would try searching through the Add/Remove programs in the control panel to uninstall the updates of the system, and then restart the computer and let updated them, re - install.
    Good luck
  • Lack of exit Realtek Audio in Device Manager

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop no longer plays sound through speakers or headphones. The icon indicates that there is "no speakers or headphones connected.

    I checked the sound settings, and Realtek audio output (I don't remember the exact name of the device) was absent. So I went to the Device Manager and the only thing under Sound is the ATI high definition Audio Device. I'm not using HDMI is not what I'm looking for.

    Support Windows told me to re - install the drivers my computer manufacturer Realtek, but I got the drivers for the device Realtek Acer Recovery Manager and re-installed them. My sound still does not work. For good measure, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers directly from the Web to Realtek site, but no improvement.

    I'm really running out of options here, given that Windows basically told me that they could not do much to help me. I hope that someone here could help me understand what the problem with my laptop.

    My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5542 running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium, 64-bit.

    Thank you.

    Thank you very much for your quick responses! I was about to follow your instructions to start Windows re - install something. For some reason any, he decided at the time of re - install the driver, so my audio is fixed, and it appears in the device again Manager. I have no idea of what has past (Windows Update did nothing), but my problem is corrected now I was scared, it was a hardware problem, but I guess it wasn't. I'll give Kudos to you for your help, always ^^ thank you!

  • Device Manager doesn't detect external cd drive

    My external LG DVD writer Super Multi play more on my Acer Aspire One. under Windows XP. He plays on a different computer, so I know it works very well. I used a flash drive on all the USB ports on the Acer so I know they work. I tried the disk drive on all USB ports, but did not work. Fix tried regedit "upper and lower filters" found on the internet - did not help. I tried Windows Quick Fix - did not help. He noted that some corrections have been made, but there will always be problems. It does not say what - the next button just to leave me with a window asking what they could do to help. (Stupid question). I reset to a previous set value - did not help. The LG say that they provide no drivers that all their products run on native Windows drivers. Acer technology referred me to people from Microsoft Windows. The LG player correctly purrs when it is plugged into the USB port and the glow of green light. I ensured that the player was clean (/ alcohol swab). The disc is clean. Once again, I have played the disc on the drive but attached to another computer and everything worked fine.  I think that it is a driver problem. I read the forum messages that say when Windows sends updates that they often ruin the drivers and some people report that they continue to re - download drivers for their external players. Anyone know what to do about this situation? Thank you. -J.

    Want to add that he won't play disk program or cd music disk.

    Your post says "Device Manager doesn't detect external cd drive" if so you cannot change the driver if your devive is not listed in Device Manager. Try to connect to a powered hub.

    Hey Harcjk,

    For your first question, go through this article.

    None of the items appear in the device list manager when you open
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/311504

    For the second question, here are some suggestions:

    Method 1: Uninstall & install Parallels tools

     

    NOTE: we highly recommend you make a backup of the virtual machine before you continue.

    a. start your virtual machine and cancel the installation of Parallels Tools Wizard.

    b. Click Start--> Panel--> Add / Remove programs and remove the Parallels tools in the list of applications.

    c. restart Windows.

    d. install the Parallels tools by clicking on the Virtual Machine--> install the Parallels Tools.

    Method 2: Uninstall antivirus software

    If the problem persists, try the following:

    Temporarily uninstall all the antivirus software to the virtual machine and repeat steps of the "Uninstall & install Parallels Tools" section above.

    Note: Don't forget to install the back antivirus software, once the problem is resolved.

     

    Method 3: Uninstall, clean & install Parallels tools

     

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • HP Pavilion G6-1215ex: could not find "Wireless adapter" in my device manager.

    Hello.

    I recently formatted my HP Gseries laptop and reinstalled all the drivers. Towards the end of it, I couldn't find my adapter wireless listed in my device manager. I can connect to the internet via a connection fixed but the Wireless does not exist. When I try to install the wireless driver, the Setup program cannot detect the wireless network card.  I tried the following, which none has seemed to work:

    Turned on the wireless devices. Bluetooth works. Wi - Fi nope.

    Checked for possible compatibility problems drivers.

    There was something a little "unrecognized network controller" in the "other devices" category, which I assume is my wireless adapter. Therefore, I have included the hardware below id if this would be of any help. Please help me find the appropriate patches for my problem.
