No response to the printers and faxes control or Word/Excel print command

No response to PRINT in Word or Excel or any other command print.  No response to access Control Panel Printers and faxes.

A fix for this problem?  Everything else works on Windows XP

If the printer driver is damaged, you must remove the old one first, either in step 4, described in an Article, or by using the procedures described in the article by Bruce Sanderson.

If you do not delete the old driver, Windows will use it even if you download and think that you install a new.

    Tried everything short of reinstalling XP on the server... running anti-virus and anti-malware scans, registry fixers running, restart the print spooler, all XP updates, etc.

    Unless someone comes up with something else that I have not tried before reinstalling XP on the server from scratch, this is my next step.

    He is missing, damaged or the wrong version or other files which depends on the printui.dll is missing or damaged, or incompatible.  You can do a sfc/scannow, it should correct the problem if it's one of the files, click here to learn more about the System File Checker: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

    If sfc/scannow does not solve things not try this:

    Is the file in the System32 folder, but Windows File Protection may not allow to replace, try this:

    1 - a copy of printui.dll should be found in the \WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder.

    2. rename the one in \WINDOWS\system32\dllcache printui.dll.old and then copy the folder \WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 for the dllcache folder.

    3 remove the printui.dll file in the \WINDOWS\system32, PAM will be replaced by the one that you have most recently in the dllcache folder.

  • Printer installation problem. Watch is printers and fax machines, but does not print

    I had to move my printers due to a collapse of the motherboard.   I moved my HP DeskJet 710C from a computer (under XP SP3, through LPT1:, where he was part of a network home and works very well) to another computer, also under XP SP3 on the same network, but who doesn't have a printer port.   I replace the cable with a USB printer and I tried to install if via a port USB001 printer.   The machine seems to install the printer (manually - it is not automatically find) and it shows in the printers and Faxes folder.   However, it does not print.   Any document disappears into the other, is not listed as a document to print, but it does not reach the printer.    I did everything I can find listed on the HP web site and run the FixIt program nothing works.   A search for network printers, are looking for a printer, provides a list, of which some are listed as invalid.   I think that I had uninstalled to printers to my computer until I tried to install this printer.   Now, I wonder if these "invalid" entries are mucking up of my installation.   How can I remove 'Invalid printer' names in my list of installed printers.   It seems in any simple way.

    I have my sure others must have had similar problems, but I can't find it on the net.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you

    I have found no useful HP support. They seem to only want to buy a new printer, but if I can't install my old I'll be able to install a new one? Or > when you think that you download using them, you actually download scanning for the third-party driver software, which has then finds all kinds of driver problems > and wants you to pay to get them replaced or updated.

    This isn't HP; That's the scammers try to sell you anything for an exorbitant price.

    As the computer receives automatic updates from Microsoft and works well otherwise, I do not trust software that detects problems everywhere in my machine. Or am I > stupid? Or is it driver/driver scanner software update that you can trust?

    Most of the pilot sites is not trustworthy. I used Device Doctor and found useful. There no drivers to download IIRC; It just tells you that drivers must update and where to find them. Here is an article on this subject (and no, that Thomas is not me):

    I'm still a little worried about 'Invalid printer' entries in my system network and feel that if I could get rid of them, I could make progress. When I try > print (via USB connection) my wireless network camera flashes with enthusiasm, typical activity out via the wireless network.

    What printer you put as a default? This should be where the printed document (Word of the device - expected :-)).

    Hi all

    Fixed a problem.

    It turns out the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers must be cleaned too - delete all subkeys (and their values) EXCLUDES the Internet Provider LanMan Print Services and printing keys (and their values).  A reboot is required.

    Hope it will be useful for people who have this problem in the future.

    Thanks for these folks spend their time to respond or read my question.

  • My new HP Officejet 6500 a does not appear in the printers and faxes

    The HP Officejet 6500 a printer is a wireless all-in-one with fax, print, copy, scan.  I don't intend to use the fax and who did not put in place.  But what displays in the start menu > printers and faxes is the fax but not the printer.  So I can't select it is my default printer.  This is the main problem.

    Which is OK - when I print (with the help of this device or another my printer), since the print page I can select which printer to use and as well the new printer and fax are displayed here.

    Misc info: my other (old) printer is HP psc 1300 all in one, is not wireless and includes a fax machine.
    I have Windows XP SP 3 v.2002.

    Hi desert Ginny,

    I suggest you to install the drivers by downloading it from the following HP support link and check if it helps:

    Download drivers - HP Officejet 6500 has e-all-in-One Printer series

    Also, take a look at the following link:

  • printers and faxes does not display when you browse another PC on my network

    When I navigate to another PC on my domain using------(ComputerName)-I usually see tasks scheduled as well as printers and fax machines.

    This is really useful when installation of printers and updating drivers remotely.

    I'm running XP 32.  I recently deployed a few new PC with XP pro 64-bit.

    When you browse my PC on the 64 bits of the PC I see more printers and fax machines.

    File sharing and printer is on.

    There are 2 PC 64 bit I CAN'T veiw the printers and fax machines on.  I checked eveywhere I can think and compared the two 64-bit pc (I can see the printers on one, and on that I do not see printers) and everything I find is the same.

    I've read that it could be due to the fact that Quebec of printer on the new 64-bit PC was not yet open, and once it is open it should appear when browsing from another PC.  I tried this and the printers and faxes are still not visible.

    Printer queue is launched and running without problem.  I also tried this restart.

    Connectivity is good.

    I have no problem either browse PC (32-bit and 64-bit) to other locations on my network.

    I also tried navigating from 64 bit to 64 bit, and the results are the same that when I travel from any other PC.  Some PC the list of printers and fax machines as well as scheduled tasks, some righteous display scheduled tasks.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Windows 7 backup works, but does not appear in the backup and restore control panel

    I have Windows 7 Pro and have had a running backup on a network drive for a couple of years now.  So far it has worked well.

    Recently, my wife asked me to postpone this off-peak hours and I went directly to the Task Scheduler and update annex it.  I also had to modify the scheduled task to wake up my laptop computer to perform the backup.
    Now, after making these changes, I can see the event log that the backup started at time exact (01:00) he succeeded 30 minutes later.  I can also see on my network drive that it saved at the right time and the registry keys indicate the location of the network right.  However, when I go in the backup and restore control panel, he told me to "backup Windows has not been setup" (which previously he would show me the network location and the last backup time and the other at the request of autonomy.)
    I know that backups are still viable can I do a restore to the correct network location and properly, it shows me that I have backups on this drive.  So, why the backup and restore screen is now showing me that no backup copy has been put up any ideas?
    I'm a little worried that this change to the schedule has whacked a key somewhere that is using the backup and restore screen and finally the backups will fail and I don't notice unless I am constantly reviewing the event logs (which, for domestic use, isn't it convenient for me).
