Installing HP printer on USB port

Home computer - trying to connect HP Photosmart B8550 printer to the USB port and have computer recognizes it.  Crochet all - computer restarted - turned on the printer and it says see "Computer for more details" - none appear.  In Preferences system - printer & Scanners - it does not appear, and no list for her when I try to add a printer.

Open system information (located under Applications > utilities), and then select USB in the left column. The top right pane will display all bus USB on your Mac and the printer should be listed under one of these buses. If it's not then try another USB on the Mac or another cable to USB printer port. Once the printer appears under one of the USB bus, you will then be able to add the printer via Printers & Scanners.

    Hello

    This looks like a driver compatibility problem.

    USB 3.0 ports are designed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. When you connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 port, the unit will simply operate at USB 2.0 speed.

    Lexmark support - select a product:

    http://support.Lexmark.com/index?page=productSelection&channel=supportAndDownloads&locale=en&UserLocale=en_US

    If Windows 7 drivers are available, try installing the driver in Compatibility Mode.

    1. download the driver for the previous version and place it on your desktop.

    2. right click the driver installation file and select Properties / Compatibility tab.

    3. place a checkmark in run this program in compatibility mode for.

    4. in the drop-down menu, select Windows 7.

    5. click apply / OK.

    6. right click the Setup file and select run as administrator .

    Let us know the results.

    No, you can't do this with Android, you need a software such as:

  • Satellite L50-C-215: failure to install Win7 via the USB port, pb and toshiba.bg bug ' workshop

    Satellite L50-c-215 is a laptop sold without optical drive or OS.

    We bought it today.


    Questions:

    -We were told "it is compatible with windows 7", but what a salesman said, everything can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site
    -While watching the Web from Toshiba site, a link says 'no system operating inside'. Link is corrupt
    -2 "official" companies are listed for the Bulgarian Web from Toshiba site are wrong: nobody told on the phone that they are not official support from Toshiba


    Technical questions:

    -J' tried to put several Windows 7 ISO on a USB key, using the official Microsoft tool and Rufus, but I got error that says "CD/DVD Driver is missing."
    -In some forums, it is said that test the spirit of the thing that a USB 2.0 can solve if USB 3.0 will fail. Each USB failed.

    Sales question:

    -Although the European commercial law says people have a little more time to restore a non-working product and be reimbursed, when we returned to the computer at the Technopolis shop a few hours after the purchase, employees told us ' problem is not hardware: we do not cancel the sale, we can take over the computer and give your money. " "Problem is software: see with Toshiba.
    The best we could get was the address of a computer service non-Toshiba to try to ask if they might be able to install Windows 7


    I already spent half a day working on it
    What can we do to install Windows 7 or get the computer returned and refunded?

    Tried Tnings at night:

    -> Intall Ubuntu 12.04: card WiFi can't work, no Ethernet cable to update from the Internet

    The drivers are on the website of Intel, but solution install require packages to download on the internet, not USB

    -> Last Debian version: error starting in the command line

    -> 14.04 installed, Ubuntu box checked during installation to use the Intel Wifi device
    Re: software WiFi cannot connect. Spent a few hours on forums to try to understand how to install the Intel USB drivers. Does not work.

    For people who want to buy this model, try to get a player of optical disk to install Windows, a good cable to Linux, update or be prepared to spend time and money for the service simply be able to use the computer.

    Oh, another thing: Technopolis company is not able to provide you with enough information before buying a product. I will not say that they rip off, but almost: especially to overseas buyers, buy refusal refund to anyone who is not able to have an argument that was screaming in Bulgarian with them.

  • LaserJet P1102w, why not install it via the USB port on a second system to dual boot Windows XP/Windows XP?

    A seriously paralyzed malware on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1318 running Windows XP Professional SP3 with 3 GB of memory. Some key files have been deleted, and I can't open all .lnk files. After some research, my solution was to start from a clean format. However, I have some programs on the old system that I really need and impossible to reinstall on a new system. So, I chose to install a new WinXP as a dual boot on a separate partition (I have also a third partition that I use for user files); keep the old system for when I really need.

    After installing the new WinXP, the detector material caused my LaserJet P1102W printer install pop up box. I was busy to install other drivers at the time so I canceled the installation of the printer later. When I came back to him, he went for the bulk of the fine saves but then abruptly stopped, saying: "the printer installation failed. On the HP site, I went through all the HP printer Diagnostics steps without good results.

    I really want to get this printer working on my new system. What can I do?

  • Can I set up my printer with USB port and wireless?

    Yes, you can connect your printer wirelessly to the top and the USB. If you have 1 computer connected to the USB printer, you can also download the software and drivers for computer #2 and wireless connection.

    On the printer, you will need to put it on the network (router).

    If you need assistance, please be sure to ask. You can connect several computers to the wireless printer, but could only be plugged into the USB cable.

    Hope this helps everyone.

  • Photosmart 7960 installed via the USB port on the PC under Win XP Pro acting as a print server

    I have a PC running Windows XP Pro, which acts as the home network file and print server.   The Photosmart 7960 is connected to this computer via a USB cable and configured to be "shared".   When I go to "Add a printer" on another PC, in Windows 7, which is also part of the same network, I can navigate to the 7960 correct, but the installation wizard is unable to find the driver for Win 7.  I still have what in the HP see basic documents that tells me how to add this shared printer on my Win 7 PC.  Looking at the support page drivers I saw that Windows 7 already has the driver.  True, but the only way, it seems that I can get to it is to connect the printer directly to Win 7 PC via a USB cable.   Any suggestions?

    Apparently, the solution is as follows.  First connect the photosmart 7960 directly to the PC running Windows 7 via USB cable network.  It will be auto-install drivers.  Reconnect the printer to the PC under XP pro server.   From the PC running Windows 7 where you have installed the printer via USB, you can go ahead and remove the photosmart 7960 from the list of printers; This will not remove the just downloaded drivers.  Next, select Add a printer, and then select 'Add a local printer' (no network).  Select 'Create New Port' and click Next.  In the next dialog box, type the name of the host server and the name of the printer.  In my case, it's \\mainserver\HP photosmart 7960. Click Next.   In the "Install the printer driver" dialog, click "Hewlett Packard" and find the 7960 in the printer list and click Next.  I was able to successfully install the printer this way.

  • How to configure a printer LPT when adapted to use a USB Port - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

    I have a computer that does not have an LPT port, and the printer that I want to use (EPSON Stylus Color 850) is not a USB Port or Ethernet.  I bought a cable USB2LPT and attempted to get the printer to work.

    My problem seems to be the choice of the port to use.  Here are the steps I followed:

    1. pick "Add a printer" of the control panel. Printers
       2 choose 'Add a local printer' (even if using the USB Port, like when I plugged the USB cable into the computer, I received the message installing driver recognition but not familiar "bong".)
       3 selected "use an existing port.
       4 select "USB001 (virtual printer to USB Port) - it was my best estimate of the long list provided."
       5 choose the EPSON Stylus Color 850 ECP2/PCS.

    The pilot was then installed without error and tried to print a test page which is that hangs without error.

    I deleted the printer then tried to assign the LPT1 port.  No help here either.

    If someone can help me with the installation, so I can get my documents to print I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you

    Dave

    You do not have an LPT port.  When you select the LPT port data are always written him even if your computer does not have the hardware installed to make it work.  It would work if you have installed a parallel PCI Port card.

    USB001 would be the first choice, then USB002...

    The next step as Fouzan points out is to contact the supplier of cable or Epson for support of printer you.  Start by Epson.

    You can try other cables, parallel PCI card or another printer. Alan Morris Windows printing team; Here Microsoft Knowledge Base search: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

    How are you trying to install the network printer?
    Make a double click on it or something?

    Well, the PC with the printer should provide Vista drivers if you double-click it to install it because the PC is running Windows XP.
    But you can also download and install the printer drivers on your PC and then choose the network as port or IP address.

  • USB ports no longer works after L7680 OfficeJet Pro printer installed...

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Before you load the printer all my ports worked (4 on the monitor, 2 on the front of the PC).  Once I'm installing all of them stop working.  The only option is to work with one on the front of the printer.   I am able to get my Western Digital HD to work on the USB port printer, but this one is fickle and only works sometimes (I have to restart to operate when it gives out).  I'm not able to use on the printer port USB flash drives. I f the usb port on the printer does not work, so I have no options.  I tried with a powered hub and it works at all.

    I was chatting with representatives of HP without result. If a HUB on the printer does not work it is a useless tool for me.  I need one that has no readers, etc.  Is this a reason to return to the item under warranty?  Or y at - it a way to get this thing to work.

    HP wants to tell me it's Dell.  Dell says it's HP.  I'm so confused and frustrated.

    What I discovered, after about 3 years, the computers are generally obsolete.  My computer was 1.1 ports and the printer connection 2.0.  As see you all new USB components say they are 2.0, but can work with 1.1.  Long story short, after reading this somewhere, I decided that I had to upgrade my ports.  I went to Microcenter (they have an online store as well) and bought a USB 2.0 PCI Card for $11.00.  At opened her top and broke in the new port and everything works well again.  It may not be what you want to hear, but it was all I could do.  I was told all empty printer resources USB and this is why the upgrade was necessary.  Hope this makes some sense to you.
