Need help W/HP 7660 printer & XP

I use xp on a Pravillion M380n directly connected to a HP 7660 printer.  But I can't talk to the computer in the printer.  Should what com settings I use?

You should not adjust the "com."

I assume you mean by "directly related" that the printer is connected to the computer via USB.  If this assumption is not correct, exactly how the printer is connected to the computer?

This printer never print from this computer?  If so, what is is past just before it stopped printing?

When you go to start > printers and faxes, y at - it an icon for the HP 7660?  If so, only indicates that the printer is "Ready" or "Offline"?  If it says 'offline', right-click on the icon and click on the entry in the context menu that says 'Use printer online'.

    original title: using network printer

    Everyone,

    That's what I had to do to get my printer working once Vista it has messed up. You do the first two steps on the computer to which the printer is connected. The last step that you do for your laptop or you want to connect the printer to the main computer. I hope this helps.

    Hey all,.

    We had this same problem...

    We had to follow the procedure proposed by Drompa...

    > 1) share permissions
    >> 1. In explorer, select C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
    >> 2. Make a right click, properties
    >> 3. Tab sharing
    >> 4. Advanced sharing
    >> 5. Check "share this folder".
    >> 6. Permissions
    >> 7. Grant everyone full control
    >>
    (> NTFS permissions 2)
    >> 1. In explorer, select C:\windows\system32\spool\printers
    >> 2. Make a right click, properties
    >> 3. Security tab
    >> 4. Edit
    >> 5. Add
    >> 6. Advanced
    >> 7. Find now
    >> 8. Select 'NETWORK '.
    >> 9. Ok
    > 10. Total control of the NETWORK grant

    AND THEN we had to install local printers, using the port trick...

    1. go to 'printers '.
    2. click on "add a printer".
    3 Add a local printer.
    4. "create a new Port.
    5. use the "Local Port" option
    6. on "Enter a Port name" enter: "\\Computername\Printername".

    And if all goes well should do!

    Good luck!

  • Need help to make my printer work with the new laptop.

    I just bought a laptop ACER Aspire V5-571. At the Windows experience index. Intel (R) core, 64-bit. My current project is gettting my 2005 Dell all-in - one 944 to work with my new laptop. I passed on the line and installed the recommended driver and used the printer to scan a document I then sent an email, but for some reason my computer any it will not print a page from an online account. Keeps saying needs of troubleshooting and I need to download the driver, which I did, a Vista 7 64-bit-compatible driver. How can I make this work? or what other driver or update do I need?

    It seems that Vista drivers are the latest Dell has provided.  I noticed that, they say, you have to install all the drivers for this device before installing the Vista (s).  I found the link depending on whether you should check out

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?&docid=270659&doclang=en

    Some older printers have no Windows 7 drivers, but usually the work of those of Vista.  If they are not, you can use XP mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate.  If you have the Home Premium version, you can use him anytime upgrade to professional for $90.  Of course to buy a new printer is always an option too.

    As you probably know, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide drivers.  Many manufacturers have refused to provide any Windows 7 drivers for older devices.

    Good luck.

  • Need help to install a printer on E520


    Hello again

    The Swedish helpdesk for konicaMinolta's response was that there is no driver for the printer. And my question if there wil be any is marked, I have no answer. You know there wasn't for the similar printer with fax.

    If I put the printer in my garage and went and bought another one with similar functions, a brand new 8030Cn Canon color laser and charger for paper entry. After I spent more than 4 hours, excluded 2 hours for buying, trying to get the analysis function printers to work. Canons support told me that the scanner does not work with the printer connected to the network that I had to use the USB port. After many relocations, restarts etc. I called support again once, so I had to wait a while and then they told me that printers scanning does not work with win 7/64...

    So now, I bought another printer without a scanner, a Lexmark C540n that works. I have a separate scanner (a canon Lide 210!) that works.

    In addition to that, I spent many hours on a seagate NAS (Go Flex Home 2 TB) where the software has never found the hard drive...

    The last without any shadow on my ThinkPad, but whence the Christmas vacation go?  :-)

    At least I can enjoy my ThinkPad

    Thanks anyway

    After having read the HP - compatible printers Windows 10 printers list @ http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04658195 , it says that my HP Photosmart 7660 is not supported by Windows 10 and there is no additional options.

    Does anyone know of an HP generic or other certified printer driver that will work for the printer HP Photosmart 7660 with Windows 10?  I got my printer HP Photosmart 7660 since 2004 and it is the best printer I've ever owned, and I hate the idea of not being able to use this printer if I upgrade my computer to Windows 10.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Finally, I bit the bullet and upgraded my computer Windows 7 HP for Windows 10. None of the suggestions listed in the HP forums to be able to use another driver with Windows 10 has worked for me. Some got to the printer, but any suggestions that would get to the printer the printer print pages additional and acting as a print job was sent to the printer. Then I tried something different and it worked!

    Here are the steps I took to get my old HP Photosmart 7660 printer yet faithful to work properly with Windows 10.

    Since the page devices and printers in Control Panel...

    1) click on add a printer

    (2) click on the printer that I want isn't listed

    (3) select Add a local printer with manual settings

    (4) select use an existing port and change the option in USB001

    5) click the Windows Update button to update the list of drivers and printer available

    (6) Select manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

    (7) select Printers: series HP Photosmart 7760

    (8) enter the name of the printer: HP Photosmart 7660

    It works for me with Windows 10 and the bonus is that the advanced options are more that you want or need. No thanks to HP for not providing a suggestion valid works to their customers who need a Windows 10 print driver to use with their old HP Photosmart 7660 printer.

    For those of you who have found this post and if my suggestion also works for you... Enjoy!

  • 'Use the cartridges SETUP' error on the printer, need help!

    I bought the printer last year in the months of August and after 6 months of use, it started having problems printing wireless. I always had to use USB to print from my laptop so I was recommended by people in this forum to reset my printer to the factory.

    I have reset several times and nothing worked, so I was advised to do so by using the Cancel button and the middle button that reset the printer. Now the problem is it says "Cartridges use SETUP" and my printer is out of warranty, it expired last month. I'm really confused about what to do. I am a student and I still have the print job and I can't afford a new printer. Calling support has no idea what to do and email support does not because of my warranty as you exhale.

    My printer is a HP Deskjet printer Wireless 3070. Product number is CQ191B.

    I really need help has begun the new year of college and I have a lot of missions to print.

  • New large Format printing, need help with 450 c

    Hiya, people. I'm SO happy to have met this forum. I need some serious advice with a purchase of Craigslist lightning. This morning, I picked up a DesignJet 450 c with legs/stand and a JetDirect 300 x print server. I did a quick Google search to see if the printer would work with my Macbook and the answer * seems * Yes, it will, using Gutenprint. I could not test the unit out before I forked over the money, but I have fire and managed to load paper, scroll the lightshow market, etc. Worst case, I can sell it on Craigslist.

    I've got it now houses, and I really have no idea how to do it get up and running. It is connected, turned on and it will print configuration pages (so-more in a minute), but something is not quite right and I need help, whether it is user error, bad consumables or a defective unit.

    When I load a sheet of paper and run the black print cartridge alignment routine, I get a sheet printed in alone cyan. When I run the color cartridge alignment routine, I get a printed sheet only in cyan. In fact, when I'll be whatever it is, it is printed in alone cyan. Good news is, the machine seems to be functional. bad news is, it doesn't seem to work correctly immediately.

    I removed all ink cartridges, shaken a little and reinstalled, make the flashing light "Ready" each time. That has really improved the quality of printing cyan, but they are still only cyan. I ordered the new cartridges, but in the meantime, is there anything else I should try? I have a series of questions, but I need to get the machine printing test pages correctly, I think.

    Thanks in advance for your help. Let me know what additional information you might need and I'll see what I can do.

    What is the address of the computer? It should be in the same frame. If this is not the same then the direct stream must be reset so that it can find an ip address that corresponds to your network. Outermost Jet directs reset if you disconect the power and then hold the test button and connect the power supply to. For a few seconds, then release. Wait about 1 minute and then press the test button to get the config page which should now show a new ip address. Type that ip address in your web browser, and it can have a web page where you can refine the settings to make the permanent address.
