Photosmart 7520 - USB & drivers auto installed - WHAT?

Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP desktop PC.  I have a HP Photosmart 7520 all-in-one installed via a USB connection.  All my software Windows & HP's current, I think.   I have restarted 10 minutes there and had not printed whatever it is and really did not have anything except throwing IE - and I was viewing a web page.  Suddenly, I get a Windows pop up telling me there install the USB drivers and my printer - WHAT?  So as far as I could tell, 'install' ran OK.  But now when I see "start |" Devices and printers', I see icons for both my 7520 (which is my default printer) and a 7520 (copy1).  What is with that?  Also, I see an icon for what looks like a generic Windows fax device.

So-, none of you experts know what is happening here and if everything is OK?

Hello cwr64,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand when you restarted the computer, a pop-up shown installing drivers for USB connection and your printer. I will do my best to help you! Sometimes you can experience on a Windows computer if you have a USB cable plugged into the computer when it starts up. This does not mean that the Photosmart 7520 installation has a problem. I recommend you remove the copy of your devices and printers:

1) click on your Start Menu, then printers and devices

(2) right click on the Photosmart 7520 (1 copy) and select Remove the instrument

(3) now, you must have a printer, right-click on it and select set as default

Yes, you will have a generic fax install in devices and printers, because the software comes with a built-in fax software. You can delete this, if you do not use the fax feature. (However, if you remove and want to use the Fax software in the future, you have to reinstall the whole printer software package.)

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Photosmart 7520 usb

    I just bought a HP Photosmart 7520 and would like to know if I can connect a flash drive/USB memory key and print a document stored on the thumb drive?

    Hello Fast4stroke,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you want to print a document from a USB flash drive.  The printer does not have the ability to print documents from a card or usb drive. It is equipped only to print photos.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thanks for your time.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 USB drivers not installed?

    I get these annoying popup messages indicating that he has a problem to install the USB drivers. When I go into the Device Manager there is no exclamation mark next to all of the drivers in question. Here are as follows... 2936, 2937, 2938, 2939 293 a, 293C, 2934 and 2935. When I right click on them and get the drivers it gives me a warning that the new driver has been found to date but the problem install the new driver and I need to contact the manufacturer for a solution. Everything seems to work fine, but these popup messages appear on each startup, and it is rather boring. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also my computer has been updated to the latest version without any other question.

    Hello @Ria2,
  • Photosmart 7520 Intermittent 'USB device' new unrecognized on the new HP PC

    I have a HP Pavilion 23-xxxx all-in-One desktop PC that was bought with a HP Photosmart 7520 in October of this year.  The PC came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, which has been upgraded to 64-bit Windows 8 Pro following instructions provided by HP, including the installation of applications and specific drivers of Windows 8.  The computer has never been used with Windows 7, the upgrade was literally out of the box, the end of the first OEM installation.  Installed the printer software, downloaded from HP, which has installed fine.  As a first step, there is no problem with the printer - printing and functions of scanning performed as expected.  Then, after a day or two I started to do a random popup message in Windows saying "USB device not recognized" and something about Windows have stopped the device because it did not work.  The Billboard on the printer displays error and off-line.  If I turn on the printer, it will work again for a while.  Other USB devices connected to the computer - mouse, a keyboard and an external hard drive - continue to work very well.  I tried the printer connected to a different USB port, then changed the cable.  I ran the HP print and Scan doctor who reported that nothing was wrong.  Finally, I uninstalled the printer software and re-installed and everything was going well for a day before the same thing started to happen.  I used the software of the printer and the HP software that is provided for the computer to make sure that both devices are fully patched.

    Much obliged for all the thinking on the issue.

    The printer is probably defective. HP replaced under warranty after hours and weeks of troubleshooting. But to their credit that they replaced it with the more expensive 8600 OfficeJet, which worked without problems since then.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you can not install your HP Photosmart 7520 on Windows 8.1. And I'm happy to help you!

    To check the printer hardware is functional, you are able to print a test page from the printer control panel? Video: printing a Test Page. (The video shows a HP Photosmart 6520, but the same instructions will work with your HP Photosmart 7520).

    You see error messages on the display of the printer?

    In the meantime, please, try the procedure described in this guide, the printer (Windows 8) "offline" Status Messageand let me know what happens!

  • USB drivers are missing (after installing Win7).

    Hi all!

    I bought a laptop HP - pavilion 17-f008sr Energy star (G7Y08EA).

    There was a Windows 8 operating system. To work on this laptop, I installed a Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.

    That I started a system, I saw a problem with my USB in Device Manager (serial bus universal usb controller and Sm bus controller). As a result, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 did not work.

    I spent a lot of time to find different drivers to try to solve this problem, but I still have it. Drivers usb Intel and pilots much even not work with my laptop and do not install it because I don't have a good system for a large part of the drivers I found. Please help, Im very tired and I don't know what to try. Bravo to all, who know ways to solve the problem with the lack of USB drivers.

  • Disable auto-install drivers

    How do I turn off auto load drivers? I already tried to go through the menu system and tried both options - ask first and never check - restart

    But whenever I connect one peripheral USB Vista begins to load the drivers.  So I can not get rid of them and load my own

    This is important because manufacturers drivers include the serial number on usb port

    Install THE drivers before connecting the USB device to the PC.

  • Cannot install HP Photosmart 1000, blue screen, stops install to connect USB 2 cable for laptop

    Unable to install printer HP Photosmart 1000 to Compaq computer laptop, blue screen appears every

    time that I connect the cable as shown, (USB no problem installing Canon printer via a cable last year)

    The HP Photosmart 1000 printer worked fine on my old computer (XP Home Edition, ed.) pc

    until this pc has developed problems so I need to install this printer HP old (but reliable) for

    my Compaq laptop. HP printer has been connected to old pc via a parallel cable.
    HP printer has not been run on a front USB cable.

    Printer: HP Photosmart 1000, S/N: MX0BG1F2GB MODEL: HP C6723A

    Laptop: Compaq Presario V6700, S/N: CNF8102WLQ, P/N: GT814AV, OS: XP Pro,.

    Two USB ports are 2.0 compatible tested with another printer, scanner and flash

    readers. The two ports operate.
    Tested on scanner (work) USB cable

    So far, I've tried several things:

    Downloaded the latest XP driver from the HP website. (3511_enu_w2k_xp_release.exe)

    (However I do not know what to do with it or where to put it so it can be found by setup.exe

    or regardless of the cd for the printer.)
    I'll never wonder where to find the driver during the installation, because of the blue screen crash

    as soon as I plug the USB cable to connect the printer to the laptop. Even when the printer is turned OFF!

    Disabled antivirus software, firewall (Windows Security Essentials)
    and Malwarebytes... without change any help.

    Ran Check Disk... everything is good.

    Tried to install software without connected printer but when I got to where I was
    asked printer a blue screen again.

    The following information on a blue screen when I plug the USB cable of
    printer for laptop during this installation step and turn on the laptop.
    Then turn the printer on. (HP as directed in instructions to install step by step).

    pop up).

    Never used it before so I tried the XP program compatibility Wizard I forgot. That fixed the problem with the USB cord. I had downloaded the new driver for XP but didn't know how to use it and could not open or some nomatter what I tried or where I put nothing helped. Installation using old records kept asking for files, that I didn't of course. All tried, you know the drill. Install, uninstall, and more. Went back on Yahoo search (20' e time) and found a score to the HP page where I had downloaded the driver. «How to install «...»» "don't remember that being there when I got the driver downloaded. Then I followed the instructions, once more and double click on the new driver on my laptop and installed like a champ.
    I hope this helps someone else. Too tired, you miss things.
