• Lexmark X 6100 printer drivers for the NEW Windows 8

  I have upgraded to Windows 8 and boy that I came across several problems...  The only problem I have most pressing difficulty is my multifunction printer/scanner/fax X Lexmark 6100 series. I have no driver for it.  Lexmark said Microsoft should have one for her, but Microsoft 8 can't find it.  Any suggestions?

  The latest Lexmark driver released for the X 6100 series is for Windows Vista.  It looks like the same old story - the manufacturer of the printer refuses to update its drivers so that they can go wrong in buying a new printer.

  For the same reason, "Universal printer drivers" Lexmark do not work for these no more.

• Printer drivers for Windows 7 64 Bit.

  Recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my new i7 computer.    Incredibly FAST.   I use the Autodesk REVIT 3D construction modeling program.   Make a model of quality higher on my old core 2 duo would take almost an hour.   With the 64 bit on i7 with 3 GB of ram and graphics card same OS, same rendering would take a little more than 1 minute!
  PROBLEM!   Cannot find 64-bit print drivers for 2 of my 3 Canon printers.   OK driver for Canon ix5000 A3 printer but no driver for Canon i865 my old BJC 5500 A2 or A4 printer bubble jet printer which is essential for my work.    Have you checked of course Canon Web site, but could not find what I need and Canon does not seem to help.   Might be there somewhere but couldn't find it.   Without printer drivers, the 64-bit system is useless.
  Surprisingly ALL OTHER WORKS on the 64 bit OS.   Even some older applications of v.   I expected instead that the drivers etc would be no problem since we are told that the world is about to go soon 64 bit.
  Someone there had business or relationship problems with the printer drivers for 64-bit Windows?   Any help appreciated coz I'd go 64-bit.

  Computer details:
  Core i7 920 CPU on the motherboard Gigabyte GA EX58 UD4P.   3 x 1 GB Corsair xms RAM 1600.   1 TB Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD.   With the help of old graphic card Asus EN8600GTS.
  Case Antec Solo.   With the help of an old power supply 450w awaiting the arrival of Antec Truepower PSU (No. Gaming) 550W.   Bought the new copy of XP Home but Windows 7 is currently experimenting and will certainly upgrade to Windows 7 when it was released.

  You can try using the Vista drivers. If they do not (or do not exist), your only recourse is to get hold of the gun and see if they have plans to write drivers for these printers (or to replace the printer or the operating system). The mftr material. wrote drivers for their devices. The mftr material. is the * only * person who will do that, not the creator of the operating system that you use (Windows). All hardware drivers that come with Vista and Win7 were written by mftrs of various materials. and provided to Microsoft for inclusion. If the material mftr. no no intend to write new drivers for a specific device, then it's the end of this story. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  But when I turn off the 1020 laser jet, then turn it back on then try to print windows 8.1 that it will NOT print

  Thanks Mike

  Hello

  I understand that you can not print with Win 8.1.

  Drivers for win 8 and 8.1 Win are the two Version 9.
  Make sure that you uninstall the previous printer software.

  Here is a url to completely uninstall a printer in Win8.

  Reinstall the software of the printer again. Select full features software driver.

  The drivers is not compatible to Windows 10? Any suggestion to solve this problems?

  

  Hello @chrislim2888,

  It is a great place to get help! I read your post and see that you are unable to install the printer on the computer Windows 10. Thank you for providing all the information and the screenshot. I want to help you solve this problem.

  I have provided with steps to unlock the hidden administrator account and the installation of the printer on this account to see if this will help this situation.
   
  Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.

  • Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
  • CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
  • Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
  • Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
  • When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
  • If your computer automatically connects to your account after the restart then go to your Start menu and click on the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
  • Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
  • Immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow the steps described in this paper: A Fatal Error displays during Installation of the software. This should resolve this error message.
  • Test the printer.
  • To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

  How is the printer connected?

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Lost my printer drivers (after a Windows 10 update)!

  Hello

  After the recent Windows 10 updates (one installed on Christmas day), I lost my (custom installed) to the printer drivers. No big deal I thought, ONLY MIcrosoft MOST inconvienience - I'll reinstall just them. But when I open the properties of the printer Panel, I found that ALL ADVANCED TAB where I needed access to reinstall drivers is now GRAY and completely unaccessable! I not only lost my custom drivers, I also lost my second tray of the printer (installed optionally) capacity! YES, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  Now I need help to reinstall (they gave me specific instructions for installation, so I won't bumble worse trying to install them differently (as a regular driver) without confirmation first.)
  This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why we should be allowed to choose for outselves when and what updates to install on OUR computer! I checked the Windows Update history and there is NOTHING there that would strike even he would have had to change printer drivers, nor I anthing that would affect them being changed (for example, allowing control HP from my PC to automatically updated drivers), but clearly something changted them.

  What I HAD... I use a printer Officejet Pro 8100 bought two years ago February next with the option second tray of the installed printer. I also use Officejet 8600 drivers in order to be able to print my graphic files properly (these drivers were recommended on this forum once I have posted having problems printing after the first installation. These drivers worked PERFECTLY in all of my PC (running Windows XP, 8.1, and 10), but now with the missing options, everytting is printing through the upper status bar (where I have a THICK paper). I don't have the ability to choose which try to print (Tray 1 or 2), and I need to change paper whenever I want to print on different paper (I always had a THICK paper on top (Tray 1) and plain paper in the lower part (tray 2) because it would not print thick paper from the tray at the bottom.

  To use the 8600 drivers, I was given specific instructions (on this forum) on install in the section "NEW DRIVER" of the ADVANCED TAB in the properties of the printer. Now that I don't have access to this tab, I need to know if there is a way to access new (my preferred method) OR another way to install (for example just install them as if I would install the printer (8600))?

  It's free enough explainatory tab FULL area is GRAYED OUT, but in case there are any doubts, I have attached is a screenshot showing what he looks like.

  I apprecate any help you could offer.

  Kind regards... Chugbug

  

  OK, now it's really WEID!

  I tried during the last 24 hours to get to the Panel in question, including the restart of Windows at least half a dozen times without success.  But now tonight after that I dug around the different tabs, once again, INCLUDING clicking on through security and permissions panels (but not to make changes) AND for posting my question here, all in the advanced Panel was suddenly accessible once more!

  I reinstalled my 8600 drivers again, then reset my printing (default) preferences (paper 2 / plain plateau), and everything is good again (kumbaya...)!

  Good thing, I took a screenshot of it (grey) or I can't believe myself!

  Happy holidays!  Chugbug

• Need to know where in the system folder of Windows Vista, I can access the printer for a shared printer drivers .inf files

  I have a printer that is attached to my system down Dell Windows XP, I want to access the floor running Windows Vista from my Sony system.  I managed networked the printer so I can see it in my Sony Windows Vista network folder.  However, when I try to access it, it gives me the following error msg:

  The server to the printer 'HP Photosmart 1215 series' doesn't have the installed printer driver.  If you want to find the right driver, click OK

  Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or the original equipment for the printer driver manuafacturer.

  I advanced and clicked on "OK". and the system brings up a box for me to find the correct INF file to load.  I went ahead and tried the DRIVERS/WINDOWS/INF and a few other places, but has failed to find (any) of printer drivers

  Can someone tell me where I can get these?

  Download the appropriate driver from the printer manufacturer's web site.  If it contains a Setup program, run the program and when it asks you to specify the printer installation, create a local printer whose name is \\xpsystem\printer where 'xpsystem' is the charing system printer and "printer" is the name of the share.  This should create the printer.

  You can also expand the downloaded driver and try to add the printer as you did before, direct the installation to the folder containing the driver that you downloaded.

  Go in the * Canon * Website and look. I can't tell you if
  the drivers, you need exist or not, but keep in mind that each time a
  new operating system comes out, the former hardware manufacturers
  often decide that it is is not worth their time and their efforts to develop
  new drivers for it. So, you might well be out of luck.

• Where can I find a Windows 7 driver for my Digital DEClaser 5100 printer? Windows uses drivers for XP and Windows 2000, but I can't find one for Windows 7.

  Windows 7 Add printer does not find the drivers for my digital
  Printer DEClaser 5100.

  Use the XP drivers.

  Either use the XP machine as a remote client, add them to the Windows 7 machine or unzip the files in the driver.cab file, and use the disk and point to the ntprint.inf from the XP CD.  If you have Windows 7 64-bit, you should the drivers from 64 XP or Server 2003 x 64.  I just installed the x 64 driver PS.  Seems simple enough.  I think that this device emulates the HP LaserJet 4.  There is a version of the 5100 driver PCL as well Alan Morris Windows Printing team research here Microsoft Knowledge Base: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1
