Photosmart C4780 installation fails at the "system cannot find the file specified."

• Photosmart C4780 installation fails to Select network

  Printer model: Photosmart C4780

  Operating systems: Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6

  Method of connection: USB

  Wireless network: Time Capsule from Apple (802.11b/g/n) and Apple AirPort Extreme (802. 11 b / g) with WPA/WPA2 Personal security and local access control (MAC filtering)

  Problem: Try to set up a new C4780, I installed the software on three computers HP run two versions of Mac OS X.  I placed the C4780 next to two different base in the AirPort network stations.  I have the MAC address of the C4780 in each base in white list stations.  I tried also turn off all the access control and all the network wireless encryption/security (briefly).  I even tried to connect to my neighbor networks.  In all cases, the C4780 was connected to the computer via the USB port and the HP installation wizard has been run.  'Select Network' page, the list shows both of my base stations (with the same SSID) as well as two networks in neighbouring houses.  Any network is selected, the process "in search for the network" succeeds forever.  On some attempts, a dialog box shows the network is out of range (even if the base station is the printer inches), but most of the time the "network search" process runs indefinitely.  I looked in the newspapers of the two my network of base stations and found no attempt to connect from the MAC address of the C4780.  Light on the C4780 Control Panel indicates that the wi - fi radio is on.

  I don't see any explanation other than a faulty radio in the C4780.  Any other ideas?  Thank you.

  I don't know why you have two airports and if they are configured to play well with each other, but...

  We will use the WPS from your printer and 8 function:

  Start the WPS process from the front panel of your printer (network menu). Then:

  Open Apple Airport utility
  Select your wireless router
  Select Manual Configuration
  choose Add Wireless Clients... in the menu of the Base Station
  Select the first attempt, and then press to continue.
  You must begin the process of Apple Add Wireless customer within 2 minutes of starting the printer WPS push button method. In fact, the order doesn't matter... you can start the process of adding on the Apple start router Wireless Clients then method push-button WPS printer.

  Your printer will now be connected to your router. Now all you have to do is install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax by clicking on the button «+» Find the instance of your printer with "Hello" next to it and click "Add" when it becomes available. "

  mrsjeffyg, I recommend that you completely uninstall the printer from the computer. Make sure that all copies of the printer and the associated files are removed from programs and features, the Manager of devices, and the devices and printers. If you are connected with a USB cable, make sure that the cable is removed from the printer for the duration of the present.

  Click START and type "%temp%" and press ENTER. This will open the temporary folder, and I want that you delete all the files that you can here. Some will not be able to be deleted, so ignore these files.

  Restart your computer.

  Follow this link here and reinstall it from the Full_Feature Driver and software.

When I update its driver or try to install the drivers it says system cannot find the specified file. also I tried installation correct latest drivers of my laptop from the HP site is no help. Thank you

  

  Thank you.

  Do not use the sp59632 or sp61795. They all have two software driver for Windows XP and Win7. Maybe that's why you got the error message. I extracted the softpaqs and took a look to see what was inside.

  

  It is for the wrong operating system

  

  It is also for the wrong OS

  

  sp58515 should work.

  

  Since your laptop came with Windows 8, why not use the Recovery Manager to reinstall the driver?

  I recommend this as the best method to use. It is a one stop shop and denies the need to search for drivers online. Your recovery manager will be the drivers for hardware that is installed in your laptop.

  Invoke the charm to search for and type Recovery Manager. Click the Recovery Manager. You should see a window similar to the following image. Now, click on drivers and reinstall the Applications.

  For problems to explore, which has nothing to do with this post, try this (which covers almost any problem).

  Explorer

  Explorer (explorer.exe) is the program that is the start menu and taskbar, windows folder and the office (which is a folder window).

   

  To see if a fix is available

  In Control Panel (and select Classic discovered in the left pane) select reports on the problems and Solutions (problem of type in the START search box), go to historical problem, right-click of your error and choose check for the Solution.

  You can also right-click and choose Details for more information. Post these details here. The name of the Module fault is important information.

  • Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete then Task Manager.

  Then to restart the Explorer after trying all of the following

• Restore failed image because of the message error "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Is my file of the backup OK folder structure?

  I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).  I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.

  According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders.  However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure.  Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.

  The differences above could explain the inability to restore the image and if so, any ideas on what to do about it?

• Windows Backup Failed: The system cannot find the specified file. 0 x 80070002

  Hello

  I had problems, make my weekly backups with Windows Backup and restore utility.

  I tried three different times, and they have all failed with the error message:

  "Failure of backup Windows: the system cannot find the file specified."   0 x 80070002.

  I went through almost all of the threads in this forum about this, and none of them seem to work for me.

  I went through the register of audit in this thread (http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2008/03/12/common-causes-and-solutions-to-backup-system-restore-and-complete-pc-backup-problems-updated.aspx) and all records were correct and have no errors.

  I also went through this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979281/en-us

  I'm confused how to proceed with a resolution of 1 scenario; I finished scenario 2 of the resolution and the resolution of scenario 3 does not apply to my problem.

  I was able to complete the portion of the data backup, just am not able to finish the part "create a System Image", i.e. when the error message appears. I check back up data with the options "Restore my files", and as far as I know, all the files are there.

  So, what should I do then?

  Suggestions or comments are much appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hi all

  I'm sorry to post an update so late. I was waiting for my 1 TB External Drive happen so I can retry the backup.

  I tried the solution in the link that User2@16 post:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/WindowsBackup/thread/53b7a2c4-33c3-4c0f-a6fd-715abe36f1f9

  And finish the backup without any error message more.

  What I did is to assign a "drive letter" in the drive titled "RECOVERY", which has no drive letter in a first time.

  Image of my system and backup were created successfully last night.

  Thanks again for all your help. It is much appreciated.

  Hello amywatsand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I see your are your printer installation issues.  I would like to help.

  I would say uninstalling the software of the printer.

  Once it is uninstalled, I suggest you put your system in clean boot mode in the configuration of Microsoft.  You can do this by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

  Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest to reinstall the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

• Error: System cannot find the path specified during the installation of most of the programs of the C drive

  I can't install most of the system disk c.It programs always show me "system cannot find the path specified." But, when I copy it to a disk D it starts installing. Most of the programs is not installed properly, because it seems that they cannot access some areas on the system drive. I tried already to check drive C for errors. It did not help. »

  I solved my problem. It seems that Windows 7 creates additonal 100 MB partition with the system partition.
