OfficeJet Pro L7580 appears as a network drive in Win7

I have a new Dell with Win7 64-bit desktop computer.  I installed the printer with last full 64 bit HP software program downloaded from the HP website.  My all-in-one L7580 load on my network as a hard drive.  When I click the link it reports: "LOCATION is NOT AVAILABLE.  Z:\ is not accessible.  An unexpected network error has occurred. "When I right click on the link and select 'Properties', it displays the properties of a typical hard drive and not the properties of a printer.  When I right click on the link and select "Disconnect", it switches off this "Z drive".  L7580 functions perfectly whether or not I let this "Z drive link" in my network list and if I choose to disconnect the drive "Z".  At this point, it's just a boring anomaly.  However, I have a Lexmark Black and white on that same network laser network printer and the Lexmark does not exhibit this behavior.  I have a small home network (cable modem, router 4-port Netgear with two computers and these two printers plugged into the router 4 ports.)  The router assigns the two printers IP addresses and I can connect to the web page internal to each printer with its information and settings just by entering their respective IP addresses in my browser (192.168.1.x).

Just curious to know if one of the members of the technical forum have some ideas about this anomaly.  Can live with it, I won't if I don't have to.

I don't think that it is an "anomaly". IIRC, the printer has memory card ports. So when you install the printer software, network drives are created as a reference for the memory card slots. They will appear even if you have all the cards inserted. Even if you remove them now, they will reappear after you restart the PC. All I can suggest is to ignore it.

  • I can't find a driver for HP Officejet Pro L7580.

    Updated my system to Windows 7 after years of using Vista.  Now, I can not use my HP Officejet Pro L7580 because it cannot find a driver to install.   Each tab has said that the device works perfectly.  I deleted all of the HP software... it off... rebooted... reloaded and still the message says that this driver is missing and it can't find on the site of HP.  He also said that he is not allowed to update the drivers.  During the audit in this area... that's bad.  Updates are always automatic without authorization by this tab, you open to change the settings.  I can't see the problem/solution... can anyone else?

    Hey there,

    Make sure you first if you use Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit then follow this link:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=2512008&

    If you choose the recommended base or full software driver are the official drivers from HP for the product.

    I hope this helps!

  • OfficeJet Pro L7580 will not hold settings network by hand... not visible on the network

    Yes... Once again... Another question about the famous OfficeJet Pro L7580 all in one.

    I can't write all the IP settings and get the machine to save.  No matter how many times I try, it's always defaults to "automatic" and when I print the network settings page I get all the relevant numbers as 0.0.0.0.  I tried the network diagnostic tool, I have read all the instructions, I am a network expert.  I searched this problem on Google and all I see is to throw this thing in the trash.

    I also downloaded the official patch from HP for Windows 7 64 bit network, but when I try to run this fix, it is said that the patch is not provided for Windows 7.

    Should I trash this thing or is there a fix. ?

  • Connect my Officejet Pro L7580 on my my wireless home gateway

    Is it possible to connect my Officejet Pro L7580 all-in-one directly to my Motorola Wireless Gateway?  I consider the printer becomes visible by other wireless devices and would allow me to print wireless laptops, my iPhone, etc.  Currently, the printer is connected via a USB cable directly to our pc at home.  From a wireless perspective, I currently have the available printer to print wireless connection first via the pc at home.  It works intermittently and the home pc must be on to make it work.  My Wireless Gateway has only an Ethernet port which is connected to the pc at home and it has a USB port.  Not sure of the term appropriate for the size of the USB port, but it is not standard and the size is associated with the USB output on most printers.  Thank you!

    Yes, you can keep it connected, but I don't know why you would want to.  All of its features will be available through the connection to a gateway.

  • I have an Officejet Pro L7580 all-in-one. How do you find the printer did how many copies?

    I have an Officejet Pro L7580 all-in-one.  How do I know how many copies the machine made?

    Dragon-fur (unusual name!)

    Thanks again for your suggestions, which led me to the answer.

    Looking more closely at the options in the HP Solution Center, which I thought I had already exhausted, I followed these links - settings, print settings, the Toolbox for printer, information, reviews, myprintmileage, source, which led me to the total number of pages, number of total jobs and many other information, which, apparently, is monitored by HP.

    Thanks for the clues get me there.

    Kind regards

  • How can I change the margins on my hp officejet pro l7580

    Some forms print have information of compliance at the bottom which is necessary to properly process the document and margins on my hp officejet pro L7580 (printer), often cut out of the bottom of the page. I need to adjust the margins on the machine itself. How can I do this? I have searched everywhere online and my manual and can't find the answer.

    Unfortunately there isn't a way to set the margins on the phone itself, but you can enable the printer to print without margins (that is) that your program has full control of the border) by following the instructions in the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bpy21049

    Once you have done this, you should be able to adjust the margins through your program without limitation.

    What is the information that you need?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 appears twice in the selection of drop down menu printer with each of the different names.

    Hello!

    I recently acquired an Officejet Pro 8600 and immediately connected to my network wireless as stated in the manual. No other type of connection has been used beforehand and the operating system is Windows 7 64 bit.

    After that the installation of the printer driver appears twice each time that a program asks me to select a printer from the drop of the printing devices in the typical menu of preparation of printing.

    There is an entry for "Officejet Pro 8600 (network)" and something in the sense of 'HP95CDN' (Officejet Pro 8600). I can't remember the exact names off the top of my head, but it is the name of the printer with the 'network' in brackets in one case and a kind of shortcut ID printer with full name in parentheses in the other case.

    According to the program, one of the options gives the desired impression while the other simply causes a queue of indelible impression for the name of the unit in question that is stuck to a few KB of data transmission.

    Usually printing works with the device with the identification of the printer in its name, but I recently had a case where with LibreOffice printing only works with the other choice.

    Can someone explain to me exactly means?

    See you soon,.

    Direct entry Wireless will be visible under menu so direct wireless is on... However, since you are able to print another icon (not the network icon) I assume direct wireless is off coz you will not be able to print from wireless directly on the printer if you are connected to the router.

    I believe that the icon of the printer (not the network icon) has a port WSD assigned and is automatically detected by the operating system and installed.

    Go to service window and check if you have any input that says function Discovery Provider Host and see if it is started. Try to stop the service, and remove the icon of the printer (not the network icon) in the print server properties.

    Restart the PC and check if the icon comes back or try to uninstall and reinstall

    Let us know the result

  • HP Officejet Pro L7580: "Automatic duplex printing Module is missing" message.

    Although the double-sided printing works fine, the "Automatic duplex printing Module is missing" message, as I updated to Windows 10. I installed the latest drivers. Maybe a firmware update can do the trick?

    More from my side:

    I thought a little more on this subject and maybe we can solve this problem with a printdriver alternativ.

    Let's try a driver "HP Officejet Pro K550 series".

    Perform the following steps to install the printdriver alternativ:

    • Right click in the bottom left of your desktop and select 'control panel '.
    • then select "devices and printers".
    • Click on "add a printer".
    • Then click on "my printer is not listed.
    • then mark "local printer" (bottom)
    • Select "HP" on the list on the left and "HP Officejet Pro K550 series" on the right
    • After that finish the wizard

    After you have added the printer with success mark this printer as "standard printer" and allows to have an eye on printing and we'll see whether or not the error appears again.

    Kind regards

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium: my printer driver has changed and it's HORRIBLE

    I have been using my HP 8500 a all-in-one with a few years now with no problem.  Day before yesterday, I met a problem: when I tried to specify certain pages of a document to print, I get an error message.  However, if I chose to print the entire document, it would print.  I assumed that my driver to be updated, so I downloaded from the HP website.  WHAT A HORRIBLE MISTAKE IT WAS.  My scanning utility has changed, I can only print even when I choose to print an entire document.  I can't print at all in an Excel worksheet.  I tried uninstalling the driver and re-install.  I DON'T want to network this printer, but now whenever I have try to reinstall the driver, I can choose to connect via USB, but on the pop - up next, it does not give me the option to proceed.  It gives me the possibility to 'come back' or 'jumps' USB connection.

    What the hell is happening?

    Hi @LMKos,

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I hope you have a pleasant experience here.

    I want to help you with driver/software problems that you are having with your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-one printer and your computer Windows 8.

    It seems that your software is may not be installed correctly, in addition to the common issue of 8.1 to Windows Installer automatically update Windows drivers.

    First of all, with the USB cable plugged in, we want to remove all instances of your printer in Device Manager (so when you plug the USB cable back in during the new installation, it will be seen as a new device).

    1. Open your start.
    2. Start typing 'This PC', it will come under results of research. Right-click on computer and select Manage.
    3. Click Device Manager on the left side.
    4. In the main part of the window, locate in the following categories for all HP entries: Bus USB controllers, printers, imaging devices and other devices.
    5. If you see your HP printer in one of these sections, right click and select Uninstall. Keep an eye out as well for all that said device unknown and let me know if you see this at all (these are also well uninstall).
    6. After have removed all entries of HP, unplug your USB key and leave it unplugged. Do not reconnect the USB until you are asked when reinstall us.

    Next we want to remove printers from the printers and devices folder.

    1. From your desktop, or drag from the right to open the bar of charms, or press Win key + C on your keyboard.
    2. Select settings in the bar on the right.
    3. Select Control Panel
    4. Under hardware and sound, select devices and printers
    5. Right click on each icon you see for your 8500 has (even if there is only one) and select remove an instrument, or delete.

    Once this done, allows to make a cleanboot from your computer (this turns off all non-essential startup programs, so if there is another program running that interferes with the installation we can avoid it).

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Once the computer restarts, try to download the HP printer install wizard to complete the installation for you. It will automatically detect your device and install the appropriate software.

    Please reply to let me know if that solves the problem.

    Good luck!
