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.

  • No printer not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

    This is quite disconcerting, and after a thorough search, I can't find an answer to work.

    Basically, I installed a printer on my machine here Win7Pro.  The printer can be printed from various applications.  However, the printer does NOT appear under devices and printers.  The printer appears under print management.

    The printer is an Epson color Stylus 2200 connected via USB.  The computer is a Dell D620 Laptop.  Win7 has been properly installed - no upgrade.  The printer is visible (for example) of Corel Paint Shop Pro X 2.

    Anyone has any ideas what setting I need to enable the visibility of printer under devices and printers?  Is there something other wrong here?  It's easily fixable?

    UPDATE: I just added a shared printer (connected to a WinXP machine brother 7040) networking for this laptop Win7 and it isn't too visible under devices and printers.  However, what is different here is that this printer is also not visible under the management of printing.

    Network connections are not in print management.  They should appear in printers and devices IS very disconcerting.  Normally, this will occur if the print spooler service is not running, but then your local machine would be displayed with a red indicator in printing management.

    I guess that you have a standard USB and not a parallel converter cable USB cable.

    Check the security settings for the properties of the printer.  Make sure that your user account is listed at least print access.  Devices and printers opens with the standard user security token.

  • Printers are not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

    I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium (x 64) for Windows 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade went quite well, but none of my printers did not work after the upgrade.  The software warned me that for my Brother HL-1240 driver could be a problem, so I wasn't surprised, but my HP Inkject 2230 Business also did not work.

    The two initially appear in devices and printers.  But I deleted and reinstalled to get the upgraded drivers.  As I did, I realized that I had given wrong directions LPT ports to two printers.  However, now, printers do not appear in devices and printers, but appear when you access via other software.  I need to remove so that I can redirect the output to the correct printer, but can not find anywhere to remove.

    Help!

    Steve

    Most likely devices are appearing as part of the computer or the parallel card in devices and printers.  Do a right click of the side card or computer, if you have a printer properties menu item is the printer you are looking for.  If you have ultimate or use Pro printmanagement.msc whenever you need to change something with local printers.

  • Why does my drive usb 2.0 portable external hard appear under devices and printers and not under computer (Windows 7)?

    I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on.  Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive.  Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"...    Thank you for your understanding!

    Hello ShamedMonkey,

    Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
    First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
    (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
    FAT32:
    This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
    NTFS
    This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
    Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.

  • Photosmart 7520: Must the Photosmart HP 7520 TWO black ink cartridges (complete and installed) to work?

    Hello

    I read a few threads where people are struggling with the question of black ink with this printer. These threads, it seems clear that HP didn't design this system very well, and I would tend to agree. Even if someone said I could find the cartridge (bowtie) smaller at Staples, I can't find it. Even if I could find it, I don't want to have 2 kinds of ink black to store all the time. And my printer does not print black with only a new XL Black 564 installed. Is there a setting I'm missing in the menu where I can choose the XL cartridge only? The manual is not clear on this, and I think it's something that should be clearly explained.

    My question is simple, and please, one who answers, read my questions and do not provide a generic incomplete response and then put a little check mark 'Resolved' next to this problem. With 3 wires, that I read on this subject, the question NOT yet resolved or fully explained.

    The printer may be used and black printing using only the right XL cartridge or do I need to have both complete and installed black cartridges to work? And a follow-up, the left cartridge (bowtie) should stay there so he works or can I remove it and keep filling the cartridge XL to go forward with the empty to the left slot. If you work for HP and you are reading this and 100% do not know the answer... call someone at HP who has designed this printer and know please let me know.

    Thank you!

    The printer requires all cartridges having ink - they don't need to be full, but they all need to be installed and have adequate ink.  The thick black cartridge is pigmented black, mainly used for text and graphics on paper.  Thinner bowtie is the photo cartridge.  It contains dye black ink based and is designed for printing on photo paper.  Black pigmented ink is not compatible with the glossy photo media, black of the photo will be used in cases where the photo paper is selected in the driver or detected automatically.

    The Photosmart 7520 has separated from the inks and printheads, with plumbing to connect.  All inks must be present to prevent air intake in the plumbing or the print heads and keep the printheads from clogging.  See here for more information on using ink.

    Short computer news:

    Computer 1 - ENVY HP dv7 running 64-bit Windows to 8.1

    Computer 2 - Dell XPS 12 running 64-bit Windows 8

    I recently bought a new 8620 Pro of Officejet and currently am having problems actually use it.

    I have already installed the driver for long from the HP website, but the printer does not appear in devices and printers. Not only, I'm unable to send print jobs to the printer from my computer.

    However, the thing that is most troublesome is the appearance of the printer in places such as Device Manager and the print dialog box. I would like to remind that even using the print dialog box or print through any application (E.g. Microsoft Word) in fact the print job never crosses.

    I already reinstalled the driver several times only to get virtually identical results. This problem only seems to occur on my computer main use who WANT a HP dv7.

    I have however a second computer is a Dell XPS 14 where I can use the printer very well.

    With the results of the SFC is not not a complete success and the issue be isolated to this computer, I think that it is time to perform a Refresh of the Windows 8 operating system.

  • 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.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

  • 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.

    In addition, only connected external devices or devices that can be removed will appear in devices and printers.

    I'm used to be able to print perfectly in any program.

    Now, I can print from Gmail - or I can print from this forum, however in Publisher or Word, or a genealogy program I use, the Photosmart is not one of the available printers listed.

    When I go to Device Manager, I can right click on all the printers I have and see a long list of options, such as set as default printer.

    But on the Photosmart, I right click and only get 4 options; create a shortcut, troubleshoot, remove the device and properties.

    I downloaded new printer drivers and went through Assistant support, rebooted, unplugged and replugged etc.

    I can't understand this one!
