Loading printer driver problems

I'm trying to get my scanner on my new Epson printer to work.  I'm getting the communication error.  Working with Epson they said that the problem was when I transferred files from my old XP computer to my new with Vista that transferred the old files and I now have an x 86 program file.  This prevents the scanner to work

It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  • Epson Stylus Photo RX420 with Vista printer driver problem

    I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX420 Series all in one printer, copier and fax machine which worked perfectly on my old Windows XP computer.

    Unfortunately this XP computer has failed recently so I've upgraded to a new PC running Vista.

    When I try to install the Vista printer recognizes the device and research initially drivers preloaded to find the printer driver.

    He says so I need to use Windows update to download the right driver which I allow then (which is consistent with the information available on the Epson site that says I need to use Windows Update to get the correct driver).

    Windows Update, then go online and find the pilot, but finally errors saying installation fail due to a timeout problem.

    I have no other problems with Windows Update install the patches, fixes, etc. They all have download and install correctly and they should be larger in size than the printer driver.

    Any thoughts on how I can get the correct driver for this printer, download and install?

    Hi IanRP,

    I suggest to download the compatible driver for your printer from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

    If this does not work, try to connect to the Windows Update site. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site and install all updates.

  • Brother print driver problem

    Am tryint to install the control for a Brother MFC-9440CN Center, but guard give the error message - says need to install the Service Pack of Windows (R). Sought something like Microsoft and seems to not exist. Have you tried the other recommendation here: all programs... Updates Windows - Update of other things but does not solve this problem. Does (R) service pack exist? Does anyone have a link where this exact service pack can be downloaded? It's ridiculous how much time gets lost trying new softward FIX so that I can actually do my job. MICROSOFT - 1) provide a quality product 2) provide support for accessible customer.

    It seems that this printer driver was intended for a previous version of Windows.

    I suggest that get you the latest drivers for Windows 7 for this printer model.

    You can also run the troubleshooting of the printer.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under hardware and sound, click on use printer.

  • Connection to the printer driver problem

    I am trying to connect to the printer (hp business inkjet1100) that is connected to a computer running xp (sp3 pro) to my computer laptop under vista (home prem x 64). That just seems confused reading this way: (printer) >>>(xp/desktop)<(vista aptop).="" i="" already="" have="" a="" network="" set="" up="" and="" can="" share="" file="" with="" no="" problems,="" so="" i="" thought="" it'd="" be="" easy="" to="" connect="" to="" this="" printer.="" i="" was="">

    I try to connect to the printer by going to control panel > printers > add printer > network printer > the printer name after what in fact share on the xp computer (the name displayed on the computer to vista so there no problem). While vista has attempted to connect to the printer (bless his heart), but had a problem (no surprise), he couldn't find a driver and asked me to manually find the .inf file. No problem, just download the driver for the hp site, right? Evil.

    Apparently there is no driver for my printer for windows vista, however there is a solution. You can use the drivers for the printer series 1000 and basic functions should work (I hope it includes printing). The problem is that workaround tells me to manually configure the printer (port, pilot, etc.), then reconnect the printer to the computer (the problem is the printer is not connected to the computer in the first place).

    Now I consider myself fairly well with the computer and fix most of the problems without help (and unfortunatlly end up helping a lot of family with their problems), but it's just annoying. I decided that it's time to call in the experts (from India).

    I choose the live chat, because it always seems faster and I haven't had one that had playing music while I'm waiting (some may consider something positive). The problem is that I need to find my serial number and product number. I copy down the 2 easily labled numbers, but that is not good combonation. So, I searched for 'find the product number', and I get a page just like what I get (finally some lucky). After clicking on printers, I get to a page called "find the name of your product." At this point, I give up on the hp site and just write down every number on the back of the printer. Finally the stars aligned and I can start to chat with someone. A couple of auto messages pop up and then he asked me to confirm the information, I'm just entered (if she was wrong how do I live chat?), then continues to inform me that my warranty has expired and it will be $ 25 for support. I ask him if there is any other type of support, and he says that the best he can do (probono) is to give me a link to a Web page on the site of hp (I've been there believe it or not), I thank him for his time and move. I hope that the expired warranty matter here (but if it ignores just this part that was a total lie just to see if you would really help a guy without a guarantee (to test if you were really good people or just simply...))

    Thanks in advance for your time

    The following has worked for me, allowing me to manually select the driver

    Another method 1. 1. click on the Windows icon > Search > printers Type and press ENTER. 2. click on 'add printer '. 3. click on "add a local printer. 4. click on ' create a new port:'. 5. do not change the "port Type:'." By default, it is selected as "Local Port". Let it remain the same. 6. click on "Next".

    7. in the small ' Port name: "window, type the following command under" enter a port name:'

    NOTE: Names must be exactly the same. They are case-sensitive.

     

    \\computer name\printer name

    For example: If the computer name is 'John' and the printer name is "HPprinter", you must type the exact name with all characters, including spaces.

    This is why in this case it would be the following:

    \\John\HPprinter

  • HP c309g-m printer driver problem

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 2113 his laptop slot that W7 64 bit Premium & a HP Photosmart Premium printer c309g-m all-in-one. They are connected by a USB cable. (too many problems running a wireless system).

    I can't reload the printer drivers.

    Function printer still works perfectly, but very occasionally, I use the scanner & which almost always leads to problems. Tried to scan a document, but could not do this by selecting 'Computer' on printer window so used a memory stick but he saved the letter in JPEG not a PDF file. Strange! I couldn't change the setting in PDF format. And then got a message telling me that the printer drivers were not working. Went online, followed good advice to uninstall the printer software and reinstall. I tried this about 3 times using my CD (V14.1) & 3 times (v14.1) download from the HP Web site, but it still stuck to the last section. The area NEXT to the CONNECT YOUR DEVICE NOW is always grayed out so I can't complete the process.

    After uninstalling the software, the printer does not appear in the menu START > PRINTERS & DEVICES. After installing what it's going to go, I can see or add my printer in this area. In fact, the last time that I tried 2 printer descriptions were there: c309g-m & c309g-m BT don't know what BT means.

    Loss of printer drivers happened several times since I bought it & problamatic always seeks to sort out, but this time he won't answer. Any ideas would be welcome. PS I am reasonably informed with my computer, but not this technique please keep simple answers. Thank you.

    Thank you for your response. I did exactly as you suggested but to no avail. Yesterday I did a SYSTEM RESTORE & which has restored my printer (but gave me some other headaches)

  • Driver HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn problem? -windows could not load print processor "HP1100PrintProc".

    I have a Windows 2012 R1 Print Server that hosts a network HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn printer (driver version: 5.0.1.57036). Printers are successfully applied by group policy.

  • HP LaserJet 4100: Problem with the universal print driver

    Desktop: HP Envy 700-214

    OS: 10 64-bit Windows

    Printer: HP LaserJet 4100 (with a USB to parallel cable)

    I was able to properly use my LaserJet for Windows 8.1 through my Windows 10 crossing (which I upgraded to about 18 months ago).  Quite recently, I welcomed Windows Installer a upgrade, and at this time there, I lost my ability to print.   It has been on my default printer, but gave an error message when I tried to print.

    I tried to "Add a printer" and selected the HP 4100 connected to the LPT1 port.  It would not print a test page, and the printer does not like in the reception of data.

    I then tried to install the (PCL6 and Postscript) universal print driver with similar lack of results.

    I tried uninstallinDeg and reinstall the drivers, but once again no joy.  Incidentally, although I'm going to Device Manager > printing queues and remove the drivers, when I set up an application like Word and select the Menu printing, many copies of drivers rest yet.  When I go to remove them using the printui/s/T2, it is said that they are currently in use and cannot be deleted.

    Yet once again, I repeat - it is not a hardware problem because everything worked well before Windows upgrade.  I just need to find a way to reinstall a driver who will speak to my printer.  It of frustrating because I was able to do that before, but may not know what I am doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello GaryLynn,

    You saw did a lot of things to try to solve this issue.

    However the USB to parallel isn't anHP officially supported connection type.

    in any case, what suggests I´d, is that you try this:

    • Unplug the hybrid cable that you use
    • Uninstall all copies of the printer and its duplicates.
    • Stop the print spooler by using the services on windows (type on cortana services.msc) locate print spooler and stop it
    • Go to run and coil type, look at the Printers folder and delete all the files that are there (if any)
    • Restart the spooler to print services.
    • Download and install this driver package
      http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=FP-148007-1
    • Turn on your printer and connect the cable.

    After this exercise, check to see if windows 10 has managed to find the best driver to use your printer.
    If widows did not automatically find it, try the manual on add a Printer Wizard.

    If not reading as LPT1, check ports either USB00 ' # ' or a port DOT4, those who should be the ports to use.

    I hope this helps you get your printer going again.

    Thank you
