Print spooler problems and cannot install printer driver after Windows 7 upgrade (80070706)

I just upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate.  Once installation is complete, I tried to update the drivers and install the latest updates.  Everything worked except for HP LaserJet 4 L driver.  As a first step, whenever the driver tried to install it, the print spooler service may stop working, and the driver installation failed with error code 800F0246.  I then removed everything from the spool directory, rebooted and tried again.  This time, the print spooler service has not prevented from working, but the driver still does not work with error code 80070706.

I can't find the information for this error (80070706) anywhere on the web.  Any help would be appreciated.

More information: the HP LaserJet 4 L printer is connected via a parallel to a prolific USB docking cable.  Windows recognizes the printer as the IEEE-1284 device, but says it needs driver to work.

Update: I was able to manually add the 4L driver using the print server properties dialog box, BUT if I try to add a printer after that, I get "the print processor does not exist.  If I try to add a printer without installing the driver, I get ERROR 0 x 00000002.

Everything is running as an administrator.  It worked perfectly under Vista.

Thanks for these links, but these proposals did not help nor solve the problems.

After a long and painful journey through the registry, I determined that this workstation was already installed 3rd party software, called "Pharos".  Apparently, this software was redirecting the default print processors and was clearly not compatible with Windows 7, although the installation of Win 7 never mentioned a problem of compatibility.  Once this software has been removed, and all the remains erased from the registry, there is now no problems with printers or print spooler.

In the future, it would be useful that Microsoft has actually provided certain types of useful information when these accidents occur.  Cryptic error numbers and unnecessary event log entries did not provide useful clues.

  • Cannot install the driver for Windows Phone 7

    When I connect my Nokia Lumia 800 to my PC via USB, phone charges, and pilot the Software Installation icon in the lower corner of the screen indicates that the drivers are being found and installed.

    After a few minutes, what it says; "The software for this device has been successfully installed. Windows Phone 7 - finished, reboot required. »
    So I continue, and restarting my PC, when it restarts the Software Installation icon appears again and begins to reinstall the driver, and then tells me that a restart is required.
    Whenever I restart my PC to complete the installation, the installation process again, so I guess that the driver is eliminated during the restart?
    I haven't restarted my PC about 20 times, and every time it starts the process and invites me to restart.
    I checked the Device Manager before I have restart and it sees driver WP7 but with a yellow triangle, after the reboot, the driver is so more on the list until the icon to install the software driver in the bottom of the screen indicates that the drivers are being found and installed. And the cycle continues.
    Can anyone give me advice as to why my PC will not finish restarting after installing the driver?

  • Cannot install updates manually after Windows reboots

    Original title: updates do not.

    So I decided to reset Windows since I think I accidentally installed a few programs on drive C instead of d, and try to solve this problem would be like finding a needle in a haystack
    Thanks for the effort though.
    1 question though, since I have provided zero everything I have these 144 important updates that keep do not manually install.
    Should I just let it install on itself eventually?
    And then I start to download steam games and play them even if the updates are not complete?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi John,.

    I understand that you have reset your computer and therefore you can not find the installed applications.

    Reset your PC reinstall Windows and deletes all files, settings and applications, apps that came with your PC are stored, so you will not be able to find these applications.

    As far as updates are concerned, I suggest you to install automatically as it will only install updates that are applied to your computer that are required.

    You should be able to play the games, even if the updates are not installed.

    If you get an error message or facing difficulties during the installation of an update, please get back to us with the error message so that we can help you.

    Hope this information helps, let us know if you need help with Windows.

    Hi - I have a HP Elitebook6930P running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and a printer HP Deskjet 970Cxi with a USB connection.

    I try to get printing to work.

    HP have a support document - "HP printers - installing year Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB connection cable" - and I tried to follow this exactly a number of times without success.

    Just install Windows XP SP3 manually...

    Before do you - make sure you have restored all the way back to Internet Explorer 6 * and * all your drivers for hardware devices are the latest version of each of the web pages by the hardware manufacturer (Microsoft did not your hardware - to be of course checked manually for the most recent driver by visiting the Web pages or the manufacturers yourself and find the latest driver for any model device (s) you have - map) motherboard chipset video, audio, network, etc.)

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • Error message "the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page" when you try to install Windows XP SP3 update

    Original title: cannot use Windows Update to install Windows XP SP3

    I have done a complete reinstallation of Windows XP Pro from the original disc and managed to update to SP2.  However, when I tried to upgrade to SP3, I got an error that "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page.  I tried all the suggested fixes that I can find.

    During the last attempt, I discovered that several dll is missing.  Here's the msxml6.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll and c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll.  If they are critical, where can I find them, and how do I get support.

    In addition, mshtml.dll is available, but the DllRegisterServer could not find an entry point.  Is this critical?

    In any case, I still can I install Microsoft Update or download/install SP3.

    The computer is an IBM R50e laptop.
