Message of lack of print driver

I got a C5100, and it has been deleted/replaced by a C310a. Now, devices control panel and my computer to the printer icon shows a warning triangle and the problem seems to be that the computer tells me that the C5100 printer driver is missing. Well well, the printer everything is here, in the trash to be exact, but my cell phone as my wife gives the same message on the missing driver.

How to rid the computer to try to find a print driver that is no longer necessary?

Please send me the answer, [personal information deleted]

Hi Bill,

Thank you come back to me, I apologize for the late response. If you go into your control panel the two computer you still see the C5100 software? You always have the software cd is it came with?

I would like that you go into your Device Manager look under other devices and make sure that the c5100 is not listed, follow the steps below:

Start > Search 'Device Manager' > other devices > Please note that what is indicated here.

I hope hear from you soon, so we can continue to troubleshoot.

Thanks again,

  • Troubleshooting installation printer driver on the computer. error message: "the arguments are invalid.

    I recently purchased a Brother (MFC-J265W) all-in-one printer that has a wireless capability.  I finished configuring wireless from the machine, however when I tried to install the printer drivers by using the CD-ROM, the installation failed because an error message indicates that "arguments are invalid".  I contacted brother customer service and they said it's a matter of Microsoft.

    A few details:

    I use Microsoft XP Home edition 32 bit SP2. It came installed on my laptop (Acer).

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times, but I get the error message.

    I tried to download and install the latest driver from the Brother Web site, but I still get the error message.

    Specifications (in the manual and on the Windows website), the printer IS compatible with Windows XP.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem and also to understand what means the error message.

    Thank you

    When a hardware vendor says "It's a problem of Microsoft", without providing further details, you can be sure that you talk with a person of lazy tech support who wants to end the call and does not know how to solve your problem.

    I suggest that you completely uninstall some pieces of the printer driver and the associated software are already installed using the directions here: Article 1.  Then, disconnect your computer from the Internet, run your antivirus application disable (disable realtime protection) and install the printer as if you planned it or connected to the computer via the USB port, but do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted to do so.

    If you successfully installed printer as a USB printer, converting the wireless connection should be reasonably simple :-).

    If the above procedure doesn't help, especially if you get the same error, return brother support and request that escalating the issue until you find someone who can help you.

  • Error message when you install the printer driver

    First of all, let me tell you that I was searching and tried solutions for ten days, but can not solve the problem.

    My HP P1102w printer is three years old and is connected to my PC via a USB cable. It is not a shared printer. It worked correctly until 10 days ago. Suspecting corruption driver, I downloaded the latest version of the driver on the HP website. When you try to install it, I met with this error message:

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    In the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0

    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support.
    My PC OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Let me know what additional information may be required.

    Please sent me useful information.

    Thank you so much.you sent slove my problem how.

    It seems that the problem was due to corrupted driver files that were not replaced when I reloaded the drivers. I was able to solve the problem by deleting the files in the driver manually. I followed the following steps:
    step 1:
    Check out C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and delete everything that associated the P1102w printer, such as the hp1100.inf_amd64_neutral_56c36f106bed03b4 folder. If I remember correctly, there are two or three similar files that I deleted.
    step 2:
    Then I tried * 1102 on the path c:/windows/system32 and removed from files that have been associated with the P1102W printer.
    step 3:
    I'm not sure that this step is need, or you need to do this step before the other steps. However, in this step, I ran uninstall. exe from the HP driver CD supplied with the printer. After about 10 minutes I forcely closed the uninstall.exe process in Windows Task Manager because the uninstall process seemed to be hung.
    step 4:
    I ran setup.exe from the HP CD supplied with the printer and the printer installed successfully.
    I hope this answer helps anyone with a similar problem.

  • Lack of integrated old HP printer printer driver

    Hello

    I have 2 computers to Windows 7 which I want to install my old network printers HP OfficeJet G85 (with Jetdirect 300 X) + HP LaserJet 4050N. None of them are taken in charge by HP more (and universal HP PCL5 or PCL6 driver does not seem to print correctly).

    1 computer (Win7 Pro ~ default installation): after you specify the IP address of each printer, Windows directly printers recognized and proposed the corresponding printer driver. Print fine.

    Computer science 2 (Win7) company with probably custom gpo: After indicating the IP address of each printer, Windows comes to shows me the window with the list of the printer models left & right, printer manufacturers but neither OfficeJet G series or LaserJet 4050 Series is available.

    No idea what causes the difference between the 2 systems?

    Any way to recycle drivers (.inf & .dll) computer 1 computer 2?

    Kind regards

    Gauthier

    Share the printer on 1 PC to the network.

    Add the printer on 2 PC in steering it towards sharing on PC 1.

    Install the printer by getting the driver of PC 1 PC 2. I say should because that's the way it works normally, but in theory 2 PC should recognize that it has drivers already.

    Once the printer is set up to go to the printer properties and add a new port (TcpIp, Jetdirect) using the direct IP address. Make sure the default port.

    As you have already tried to implement, you may need to remove 1 port directly.

  • 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

  • C6280: Could not locate the printer driver base download

    We have lost our ability to print on the same day as Windows 10 has been applied automatically.  The next day, I have restored our computer to Windows 7 without error, but we have lost our ability to print.  Then, I downloaded the print driver full of features, but received an error message that Setup encountered an unexpected error (code 2203) during the installation of this package.  I tried to use the two methods (USB and ethernet).    I uninstalled and reinstalled the software again, but the same problem has resulted.    I also used the "HP Print and Scan Doctor' and 'impression' Assistant and still have the same problem.  Something in the printer driver fails during installation.  I spent days looking for possible solutions.  Now I'm ready to just install a basic printer driver - but I can't find where it is on the site of HP for Windows 7 (64 bit) for the HP PhotoSmart C6280 all-in-One.  Can you help me?

  • Printer driver crashes when printing with Office 2013/8 64-bit Windows

    Printer: HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi

    Printer driver: V5.1 (to date, downloaded from the HP support Web site) or generic V5.6

    OS: Windows 8 Professional 64-bit

    When I try to print an Excel document with Excel 2013 and V5.1 printer driver, the program freezes and must end with the Task Manager. This always occurs with the same document, but not with all the documents. Program also crashes when opening the preview before printing to the same document.

    The same document prints fine with V5.6 generic print driver and with the driver supplied with Windows 8.

    The same document prints fine with the driver version 5.1 on Windows 7 and Office 2010. The combination of Windows 7/Office 2013 has not been tested. Windows 8/Office 2010 combination has also not been tested.

    When I try to print an empty document with the word 2013 and the generic printer V5.6, the program driver crashes and must end with the Task Manager.

    My conclusion is that the HP printer drivers have a problem with Windows 8 or office 2013 or a combination of both.

    The printer driver supplied with Windows 8 and is installed automatically is useful as a temporary workaround, but it lacks some options, e.g. manual duplex.

    Upon request, I am ready to send the Excel document by e-mail for verification of the problem.

    For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    ULI

    It worked!  Thank you very much.

    Where others have difficulties to find the offending setting, here's another way to track him down.

    -> control Panel-> devices and printers-> (select printer-> right mouse)-> printer properties-> settings-> tab Installable Options (bottom)-> Printer Status Notification-> change on 'off '.

    Thank you!!
