Photosmart 5515 shows like a scanner in Windows 7 devices and printers

Product Photosmart 5515-B111H (CQ183B) running on Windows 7 PC. Software seems to have loaded ok. When the install window appears the USB and other connections are indicated, USB has been selected but the connection does not appear on the next screen.  When I looked at devices and printers from the start screen, the 5515 appears as a scanner without the attributes of the printer.  It disappears when the 5515 is disconnected.  How can I connect the printer properly?

    The problem I have is that I don't see the printers in devices and printers, however, can I print two printers of any application.

    I've seen a lot of posts about windows 7 and Bluetooth, however, these PCs is not Bluetooth.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Suddenly, a window devices and printers in Windows7 Starter shows 0 items.

    After trying everything I could, I came across suggested fix by Alan Morris, entered a long command.

    This produces the following message: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. »

    I'm new on Windows and have no idea of what I'm supposed to do.

    Moreover, several attempts, using the restore of the system to solve the problem all failed, reporting a "unknown error 0 x 80070005.

    I see in this forum a lot of people with the loss of the window there devices and printers since at least February.  Microsoft Corp. never solves problems in the software it sells?

    I hope someone can put me on the right track.

    Finally discovered that it's actually a problem of bluetooth services. I don't know even why I looked there-

    THE DIFFICULTY at least for me...

    Click the Start button, type "services" in the search programs and files. This will display a list in the menu, select Services. "This should open a list of local services on your system..., Find ' Bluetooth Service" and make sure that it has begun, click right and put on 'automatic' (mine was already fixed), select 'Bluetooth Support Service' and start, set to automatic (mine has been on dsabled).

    This fixed my issue, I hope you do too...

  • 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.

  • "Devices and printers" do not show the printer on LPT1

    I recently added a printer on parallel port LPT1: on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit edition.  The installation was successful.  I can print a test page and you can use the printer from applications, including Notepad, Microsoft Word 2010, and command prompt.  I find it puzzling, however, that the printer does not appear in the list of printers in the "Devices and printers" Control Panel applet  Is this a bug in Windows?  Microsoft has a fix available?

    Hello Tony,.

    Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

    Sometimes, this problem appears when printers or other devices using the same driver and port on Windows. When you view the printers installed in "Devices and printers", you may notice that some of the printers or other devices are grouped and are associated with the same printer icon. Scenarios like two or more printers are installed using the same printer and installed driver with the same printer port (i.e. LPT1) shows this kind of behavior.

    I suggest you follow the steps described in the article below to get this matter resolved.

    Printers using the same driver and port on Windows are grouped as a reporting in devices and printers.

  • 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.

    I'm glad to hear that.

    Just to let you know, it is often the case with the monitors.

    They will be the "default"setting, but still have the correct driver.

  • Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

    Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

    If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

    The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

  • 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.

  • Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

    I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

    The problem has been resolved.

    HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

    When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.
