I work under windows xp.  When I go to print my pc crashes.  Just started happening today.  I have a brother MFC 7420 printer and a Dell dimension 4600.

zimmercara,
Here are a few things to do to try to clarify.

Check first with the Brother website for updated for this printer drivers.

Follow the steps in this article to resolve problems with a clean boot.  There may be another program causing a problem.

  • How to stop the print cover sheet when you print using eprint? I have a B211A 6510

    When you print using eprint address, I get an in addition to the document cover sheet.  I'm wasting paper and ink.  How can I stop this page from printing?

    There are a few options depending on where you are sending from. If it is a document that you join I guess its from a PC, but I'll give you the mobile option as well.

    The HP ePrint app on devices like iphones and ipads, or home HP ePrint and biz app on android, allows open files and send them via eprint not at home without actually sending an email. In other words, there is nothing in the body of an email to print. The link below you shows how to start with this app and use it.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01616126

    The other option is the use of the pilot of mobile eprint from your computer. Add a printing device of your pc that actually sends jobs through eprint by clicking Print on the file menu. Using this method, you can print the elements of any application that supports printing, and you have the advantage of being able to specify duplex printing (if supported on your model) and the number of copies. It also means that you won't have to save the file, open an e-mail, attach them to an email and then send it. It is done simply by clicking file, print, and then choosing the printer after the initial installation. The link below you ask your operating system and will then download and manual on how to use the software.

  • LR5 freezes when I never use

    LR5 freezes when I never use and you attempt to select 'other' in the profile.  I can choose AdobeRGB and Construction without problem.  Proofing all other functions work fine.  If I select 'other', it crashes.  I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.  I've upgraded LR and Windows.  I even tried to run LR as administrator.  I restarted twice.  I searched the web and the forums, and I couldn't find anything.  Any ideas?

    I finally found the problem.  I searched using "race" vs "softproof" and found the problem.  The profile window opened on my second screen that I was watching the TV on.  What a fool!

  • DeskJet 5500: When the printer uses the 57 cartridge?

    I thank very you much for your reply to my last post. Makes perfect sense.

    I'm doing a huge amount of B & W / grey scale printing; I use 56 about two cartridges a week and I reload them successfully for a few tens of cycles each.

    My 57 cartridges also mpty very frequently while I print almost any color - the only color is perhaps a small logo on the page.

    I tried to use the gray filter in Macintosh 10.4.11 system to send a grayscale image to the printer, but the 57 cartridge still empty quickly, even if the printed color is negligible.

    If the page still contains the least amount of color, 57 cartridge automatically prints the whole page, or the cartridge 56 prints black and the 57 print the little bit of color?

    If the 57 prints the whole page if it contains ANY color, is there anything I can do in the impression of New York to get the printer to use the cartridge 56 instead? I took to remove the cartridge 57, but when I put again, the printer goes through the cycle of test page, I want to avoid if I can.

    Thanlk in advance for your help.  I can't tell you how much it means for a user that a knowledgeable HP employee has actually answered questions through this forum. Other companies to let users themselves, often to hang in the wind without usable responses.

    Many use printers, not only HP, so-called 'underprinting' this is the pose of an ink of color on the page before the black ink.  Essentially, it is a primer for the paper.  The color dries quickly and is a base for black ink, allowing it to dry and cure without spreading out on the page.  If you have already printed with the cartridges out of alignment and saw a blue or magenta shadow to your text, you see the underprinting.  That's why, when the same printing black text, the printer uses a color ink.

    This printer is able to print reserve mode, which means it can print with 1 single cartridge installed.  The printing speed may be slower, but it's an easy way to make sure you are not using any color.  For reserve mode, remove the cartridge you want to use.  (Find a hermetic place to store this vertical cartridge with the nozzles pointing down as it is when it is installed in the printer, or it will dry out and become useless!)  To leave the reserve mode, put a good cart in the empty slot.

    Hello

    Eventually, the software that controls the serial port or the device connected to the serial port is not fully compatible with Win 7.
    I think that this should be checked first.

  • Random freezes when performing a stack, dv6-3110sg

    Hi all

    I use an HP dv6-3110sg laptop under Windows 7 Home Premium.

    For about a month now, I have experienced random system freezes when I was using the laptop on battery, i.e. without the charger plugged. Sooner or later, at a random time during the use of the laptop, the screen completely freeze, with not even a movement of the mouse cursor or anything else in response, until I took out the battery and held the power for a few seconds. This problem does not occur when you attempt to use windows safe mode, or a distribution Linux live USB, so I thought a recovery could help. However, after you recover the laptop the integrated minimum image and download of HP and Windows updates for several hours, the problem persists when you use the battery. I thought that the battery may be faulty, so I plugged in the phone my mother, which is the same model, but despite this, the system froze after awhile. Try to use the battery for HP Support Assistant check (what is said and all the drivers and software, are up to date, incidentally) yields a "Check the battery has stopped working" error message, although when you click on 'other details', the problem seems to be a 'file not found exception', so I could use a link to a check of the battery work for me download. I also used the battery test in BIOS diagnostics utility (by pressing ESC during boot by pressing F2 [I think] for diagnostic options, and then selecting test battery off of the menu), however, only one was completed after 15 seconds and apparently everything was fine there.

    So I could really use some help with this problem here, cause I can't understand what is the cause. Don't forget that so do a hard cover and replace the battery with a new one, have not helped so far. I would appreciate it so all the tracks on the way to proceed. Thank you!

    EDIT: I should also mention that this time he comes with the on dedicated mobility AMD and Intel HD graphics graphics. But only when executing a stack, it's fine if the laptop is plugged.

    I solved it now.

    Made a recovery not from the integrated partition, but the recovery of the DVD that I created after I bought the computer. Somehow, that did the trick, no more freezes. Why my installation and my recovery partition has become suddenly strange, I have no idea. But at least everything works now. Thus, one who reads this: don't forget to create your recovery DVDs!

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  • Excel freeze when changing cell color and HP LaserJet CM1415fn is default printer

    We use a HP LaserJet CM1415fn connected via Ethernet. The computer is running Windows 7 x 64 with the latest printer drivers available on the HP Web site as of today.

    When this printer is the default printer, there's a freeze occurring in Excel when we try to change the color of a cell, exactly as described here:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Office/Forum/office_2010-Excel/changing-font-color-causes-Excel-t...

    and here:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Office/Forum/Office_2007-Excel/Excel-not-responding-when-changing...

    Both messages suggested that set the default printer to something else solves the problem and that the problem lies in the driver printer, and indeed, the default printer to something other that our HP printer makes this problem disappear immediately.

    Could you please provide an updated driver or a workaround another that set the default printer to something else?

    To after what I read this peut be bound by printer drivers, but I doubt that the problem is caused by the printer driver. They do refer to is an editor of document to their default the Printers folder, which I do not have is - not - a printer driver. The XPS Document Writer 'prints' documents in a file, it is not really a printer driver at all and it's more a misnomer to consider it as such.

    The description of the problem, it seems always be attached to the Software Suite. If it is a problem that the effects of several printer drivers (according to the user), it wouldn't make sense to assume that the problem is the drivers for the printers belonging to users who have this problem, but the common factor uniting the experiences here, that would be the desktop software.

    What you can do is check the following link to ensure that A) all updates are applied correctly B) driver software is updated through uninstall/reinstall and (C) you ensure that the printer firmware is up to date:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&product=4089468

    It is possible, it's a hangup in the software, but if things internally within the program that it would not make sense of how the printer HP programming works.

    I would like to know how it goes!
