OfficeJet 5746: Why my printer does not record twice in devices and printers (direction)?

My HP Officejet 5743 presents itself as the default printer.  Also the appearance is HP649F6A (series HP Officejet 5740).  Why it appears twice with different BOMs?  Will it affect anything if I remove it?

Hi @Metal1,

Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request.

I understand that you use a HP Officejet 5743 e-all-in-one printer with a Windows 10 PC and printer appears twice in the file devices and printers in Windows, with slightly different names. I would like to help with that.

I was looking into this and found that there is a solution, concerning Direct eventually picked up by your PC if directly on wireless wireless signal the printer is 'On '.  Try the post with the answer of the @vthapa by clicking here.

Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • Why my printer does not work with a second laptop?

    I have 2 laptops Asus X55U.
    No problem with the printer printing from my computer, but it will not print to my wife's computer.
    I have a HP Deskjet 4280.
    Before printing, the "Devices and printers" page on each of the laptops has a green check mark in the lower left corner of the printer icon.
    When I click on 'Print' on the page to print, HP page rises and now says "printing" but nothing happens.

    I fixed it myself.
    I uninstalled the printer on two laptop computers and re-installed.
    Whatever the problem, it's the printer now works on both computers.
    Thank you very much for your work on this.
    It is greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Webcam not no projection in devices and printers?

    I'm 68, not all that up on laptops and systems, but recently bought a laptop Sony Vaio (SVE1512M1EW) with built in webcam, installed system was Win 8.1 I found that I could not come up with...

    I bought Windows 7 and with a new larger hard drive, installed instead. All updates, ready to go.

    I checked in the Device Manager to see all the drivers have been installed, and there is no lack.

    As it was a new install I had to install Skyp and configure my account again, what I've done and my webcam worked fine.

    So I was very surprised when I went into 'Devices and printers' to find the webcam missing?

    I checked the Device Manager again and it shows as being installed, and it works with Skyp, then why is he not in devices?

    Unless I am on Skyp I'm unable to use it.

    I tried to run "Convenience store" no problems detected. I also ran the addition of new material, just in case, but no use.

    Need someone with a lot more experience that I have to solve this one.

    I would be grateful if someone could find the answer to this riddle.

  • Using the function of scan macOS Sierra HP Officejet 7300 series network printer does not work; He had no problem with El Capitan...

    Printer HP Officejet 7300 network series that allows to work flawlessly with El Capitan does not work after the upgrade to Sierra.

    With macOS Sierra, when used as a network print service printer works fine however scan does not work. Programs like the Image Capture, HP Easy Scan etc does not see the printer. However, if the printer is directly connected to the Macbook Pro using the usb cable, a new printer is added to the list of printers (it shows print and scan functions while the printer network in the list shows only printing function) and the scanner works well with Image Capture, etc. If the usb cable is removed disconnects this printer in the list and there is no way to turn it on. I have the latest update for the printer installed from the App store. It looks like a driver issue, but I wonder if there is a work around for this problem...

    Open Preview.app. Under file in the menu bar, you see import of 'name of your scanner?

    While I was waiting for your last response, I went my firewall and changed the settings (even though I shouldn't have had that I had not changed in the first place). Received your note, and downloaded the HP Diagnostic Utility. Don't know what he did, but now I have the possibility to print again. I don't like having my settings of firewall change, esp as he points out he blocked 393 points in the last 6 days, but I'm going with it for now. Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Why my printer does not print the images in sizes that I have to say in PSE10?

    My printer prints correctly in other programs (for example. The printing press 2). I have a Mac 10.5.8 and a HP Deskjet 4480 printer. Support staff Adobe uninstalled and reinstalled my printer software and drivers (twice) with no effect. They also reset my settings in PSE10. When I say PSE10 to print a 8 "x 6" custom size image, it regularly produces an image 2.25 x 3 ". I contacted Adobe Support several times and I am both incredulous that Adobe is still in business, and I'm terribly frustrated. Can anyone help (with the printing problem)?

    Exit the editor first and then relaunch it all by pressing command-shift-option. Keep the key down until you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

    Now, what about resizing: you need to do better in the editor. Don't let not the tool culture pace your image. Open the window to the size of the Image, then set it to the 300 PPI, with resample disabled image. Now use the Rectangle tool > size fixed, enter your number of thumb and highlight the text scrolling. Place it where you want and then Image > Crop.

    Now, enter the PSE print window. First go to layout and choose the HP, not any printer. Try now choose actual size in step 3. What is going on? (You are not trying to make an impression without border, are you?)

  • My new printer does not appear in the list of printers

    I bought a new HP Officejet Pro 8715 and I had great difficulty it is set up to use. It seems the method to print and scan drivers has changed dramatically since my last new printer. HP supplies over a CD with the software, but rather is supposed to happen automatically via the Apple software when I plug in the printer. This was not the case.

    At this point, I have the printer (4 hours) work, but I can't get the software "Readiris' of scanning to work. Yet once again, I am told that if I just plug the printer via the USB port and turn it on, then the OS knows what software to load. In reality, he doesn't "know" or "do" something.

    I tried to configure manually by going to System Preferences > Print & Scan and then by clicking on the sign more to add the printer software. This will show you a huge list of printers, but the list ends with "Officejet Pro 8660." My printer is a 8715, so there is nothing for my printer. Installation of the software for 8660 did not help to solve the problem.

    Two questions:

    1. why list of Apple printers does not have my printer?

    2. How can I get the Apple software to see the drivers for my printer?

    Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

    1. If the printer is a new model and HP did not provide Apple with the driver software, Apple would not list.

    2. go to the HP site to find and download the driver software.

  • Photosmart Prem C310: Printer does not appear in the list of printers - but is on the list of devices and printers

    I'm used to be able to print perfectly in any program.

    Now, I can print from Gmail - or I can print from this forum, however in Publisher or Word, or a genealogy program I use, the Photosmart is not one of the available printers listed.

    When I go to Device Manager, I can right click on all the printers I have and see a long list of options, such as set as default printer.

    But on the Photosmart, I right click and only get 4 options; create a shortcut, troubleshoot, remove the device and properties.

    I downloaded new printer drivers and went through Assistant support, rebooted, unplugged and replugged etc.

    I can't understand this one!
