• Printers are not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium (x 64) for Windows 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade went quite well, but none of my printers did not work after the upgrade.  The software warned me that for my Brother HL-1240 driver could be a problem, so I wasn't surprised, but my HP Inkject 2230 Business also did not work.

  The two initially appear in devices and printers.  But I deleted and reinstalled to get the upgraded drivers.  As I did, I realized that I had given wrong directions LPT ports to two printers.  However, now, printers do not appear in devices and printers, but appear when you access via other software.  I need to remove so that I can redirect the output to the correct printer, but can not find anywhere to remove.

  Help!

  Most likely devices are appearing as part of the computer or the parallel card in devices and printers.  Do a right click of the side card or computer, if you have a printer properties menu item is the printer you are looking for.  If you have ultimate or use Pro printmanagement.msc whenever you need to change something with local printers.

• Printer does not appear in "devices and printers".

  I recently "upgraded" to Windows 8, after that my laptop was stolen and have spent hours trying to restore comparable to my new functionality.

  My workhorse printer, I've used extensively with Windows 7, is a EPSON Artisan 1430

  I have correctly installed by download on the new computer and print a test page, but the printer does not appear in the devices and printers folder, so I can't use it.

  It is listed in the Device Manager folder, under the Print Queue, but of course, it is not usable there. Who does nothing but confirm that it is installed.

  My devices folder and shows the default two printers printers I don't have not and CUTE PDF, which I installed it without problems.

  Can someone help me with this headache?

• printer not shown in devices and printers - teacher of windows 7, 32 - bit

  I am running windows 7 Professional, and my parallel printer (hp laserjet 5 p) does not appear in my list of devices and printers. I can also access via my LAN.  It doesn't, however, work very well as my default printer. what I have to do to get on the list, I can change the attributes to share?

  launch printmanagement.msc, it is the tool provided by the spooler team to administer local printers

  Apparently the devices and printers will fire this printer on your computer if the parallel port is configured for the SPP.  If you right click on the computer in devices and printers, you can see the menu item printer properties there.    You can change the configuration of the BIOS of your computer.  If the parallel port is an addition on the map please let me know the manufacturer.

  But frankly printmanagement is a better solution.

• Webcam icon does not appear in devices and printers

• Why does my drive usb 2.0 portable external hard appear under devices and printers and not under computer (Windows 7)?

  I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on.  Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive.  Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"...    Thank you for your understanding!

  Thank you for your helpful answer.  I tried all through and including uninstall NTI Echo without any resolution.

  During the process, I found myself 'Computer management' which includes 'Disk management' where I saw the external hard drive in 'offline' status due to a conflict of signature.  I clicked to the external drive to go "online" and now, it seems to work fine and is visible to E:

• Photosmart HP 7520: 2 printers appear on devices and printers

  I'm not technical so need help to understand why when I look in the control panel under devices and printers 2 printers appear.  We're the printer default HP Photosmart 7520 series (network) and the other is HP96DC72 (Hp Photosmart 7520 series).  I've included a snapshort of the properties of the two printers appears under devices and printers.  I combined 3 pictures into one.  Point 1: shows the properties under the default printer with the menu drop down list 2 printers, reason why two of them?  Point 2: shows the properties for the second (HP96DC72) indicating that it is a printer web services.  Point 3: displays the properties of the default printer.

  Can someone explain what the hell this is all about?  I have a printer, but defined it in my router as a printer for printing, although I him have not used for this purpose again.

  Any comments will be appreciated.

  Thank you... Ralph

  

  Hello

  Those are two logical printers, and you can use both:

  1. the first condition is connected to your WiFi network normally.

  2. the other is directly connected, you can print even when your network down.

  Kind regards.

• Computer listed under devices and printers in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I was wondering, is your computer itself supposed to be listed under devices in the peripheral zone and printer to Windows 7? Or is it a driver problem.

  Thank you

  ryguy2008

  It's normal.

  In addition, only connected external devices or devices that can be removed will appear in devices and printers.

• My printers are not displayed in devices and printers

  When I click on devices and printers appear none of my printers.  I need to remove a printer that is installed on a computer crashed accidentally got checked as a default printer.  When my used printers appears and I deleted a printer he would show back up again.  Now, I'd be happy if I could see them listed.  Windows runs to look for, but no icons never appear.

  I need to access my list of installed printers to manage!

  I'm confused.

  Each machine can have a different default printer - so why would you need to remove the printer to a device has crashed? The fact that the aircraft crashed had a particular printer as default does not affect any other machine.
  You are now working on a new machine?
  If Yes, have you actually installed your printers? (Are they not magically...)

• Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

  I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

  It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• How can I remove errors shown on my PC in devices and printers in Windows Pro 8.1

  Here's what I see

  Of course, I get anumber of error when you try to print or after printing.

  I'm not able to see the "Printers" section in the screenshot, but it seems that the printer has not been installed correctly.

  Your HP LaserJet printer properties box says: "the drivers for this device are not installed.

  If you recently updated to Win8.1 of Win8, it is likely that you need the new drivers of Win8.1 software.

  If this is the case then uninstall, reboot, then re-install both of your printers using the HP Win8.1 drivers.

  I would also setup of the Firmware updates that are available for models as well.
