  • Service Pack 1 will not install after that the pc has been reset to the factory settings

    At my pc reset due to problems of crashing and freezing factory settings, when turned on after resetting received masses of updates Service Pack 1 has not been installed, but it shows in the story as being successful. He reappears in the form of waiting for update installation, but when the terms & Condtions accepted the installation takes a few seconds, history shows successful but it has not yet installed. So I can't install SP2 to update Internet Explorer 9

    Hello.

    Thanks for the reply. I found a previous question with a similar problem as mine, there was a solution that I followed and was able to install SP1. I should have done this before my question!
    I also installed SP2. Resetting to the factory settings was a last resort due to a problem I was experiencing, but after installation of SP2 my original problem reappears. The problem is now in terminal phase and looks like a new pc.
    In any case, once again thanks for your help, I know where to go with future questions I have.

  • Want 4500: I get a message saying that the "the printer is not connected.

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500 all in one printer.

    I can't print to it without having to restart it every time.

    I get a message saying that the "the printer is not connected.

    I can access the built-in web server, so I am sure that it is connected.

    It seems that he is going to sleep but cannot be awoken by activity.

    I checked network settings changed and tried to change the Hello Service of priority higher to 9100 (because the default Internet Printing Protocol) seems odd, but makes no difference.

    The State indicates that the power of the wireless signal is 5 - that sounds just because it's six feet from my PC that has a great wireless signal.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.

    The restart is only viable if the printer is restarted and sent instantly - work if you wait a few minutes (energy saving option is set to 15 minutes and it's inside that) is the same thing - the said printer dialogus "Opening conection printer" and then, almost immediately, "the printer is not connected.

    If I try to scan I get an error-9923

    Hi @jpkeates,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you can not print with your HP Envy 4500, once he falls asleep on your computer Mac OS X 10.11. I'm happy to help you!

    Please, try the steps in this guide, "printer offline" or "printer not responding" Message (OS X). It is also important to ensure that:

    Make sure that the multicast is supported

    If you use a wireless network, make sure that muticasting is supported and enabled on your router.

    If the new connection is working, you know that the printing problem is tied to the computer.

    If the new connection does not work, then the printer may need to be repaired or printed using a different type of connection.

    Disable IPv6 (network connection)

    Disable IPv6 on the printer to make sure IPv4 is used on your network.

    If your printer has a control panel with display, find the IPv6 settings in the advanced network configuration menu and set it to Off or disabled.

    If your printer does not display, use the built-in web server (EWS) to disable IPv6.

    From a computer on your network, type the IP address of the printer in the field URL of your Internet browser.

    NOTE:

    If the Web page appears empty, try another Internet browser.

    Click on the tab network or network, and then open the section or page corresponding to your type of network - wired or wireless.

    Select enable IPv4 only (or similar).

  • Distiller 4.0 will not be displayed in the topic of my printer (XP)

    Hello

    This isn't the right forum, but I couldn't find one that applied because I use XP and my system and SW is old but still works fine.

    I was deleting unnecessary files and deleted adobe pagemaker 6.5 which unbeknowst me deleted Adobe Distiller 4.0 that came with it.

    I love Adobe Distiller 4.0 because I can make a .pdf of what either.  I often use it to make a PDF on a Word, Excel, and even Web pages.

    I reloaded it, but it will not be displayed in the printers section.  Basically, I go to print something and choose the option to distil instead of my printer and it would create the .pdf.

    I was wondering if someone could help.  I don't really like to download any free .pdf decision-makers because I really liked how distillation works.

    Thank you.

    Paula

    To clarify a bit for you (I don't know which Acrobat Distiller 4 was designed for, but probably 4 or 5). At that time, there were 2 distillers that caused confusion. One was the printer driver that you are talking about and the other was in the program. The print driver was actually Setup to run Distiller in the background, where the name of the driver. In current versions, the driver was renamed the Adobe PDF printer. This may have been distributed as part of package PM that you had, but I don't think he was probably part of the packaging itself, but an add on. You should seek an additional part of the distribution to install. In addition, you also probably have Acrobat Distiller installed program and be available in another program in your system.

    When properly installed, you should have, the pilot program of printing and AcroTray.exe running in the background. (Listed under Acrobat Assistant a few announcements at the beginning of the program) is a program that runs in the background to allow the print driver send print file (.ps file) to send to distill the PDF creation to complete. All three should be there. You can check if you have an Acro... or such driver in the System32 folder. That would be your printer driver is needed.

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. You receive an error message?

    Method 1

    See the articles below and check if it helps.

    Method 3

    If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.
