Printer scanner to the computer problem.
I have a HP officejet pro printer 8600 and I cannot scan photos/documents the printer on my computer. I am running Windows XP. I get the message "scan lower cannot be established." What can I do? Windows may have some corrupted files? If yes what can I do? Also when I go to windows update updates do not install.

My printer hP model 2540 series deskjet A9U27A not print from my computer. It passes over the Network Setup page test, also has good test print. The printer is set up wireless. Have you tried the scan and printing doctor, but it says there is a software problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software with the original disc, then provided with the software most up-to-date of HP. I did this step several times. Tried several drivers. Tried a static IP address. I'm through with this printer. have also tried to this cycle. Also tried to reconfigure the system. Nothing seems to work. NOTE: When I got this printer I got the same problem, but since it was under warranty Hp remotely solved the problem. They said that the issue was the software so they installed a kind of universal software. Can someone get to the challenge to help me solve the problem printer? Thanks in advance for any help.
So after a search much more, someone else came up with a solution to my problem. For windows users, it is a question of the evolution of the drivers. A specifically. The 990c driver. I'm not sure of the exact user or the subject header, but it goes like this for windows vista.
1. click on start
2. click on Control Panel
3. click on printers
4. right click on the printer in question
5 point to run as administrator, and then click Properties
6. click on continue
7. click on advanced
8. click on new driver
9. click on next
10. click on HP under manufacturer
11. under printers, click HP deskjet 990c
12. click on next
13. click on finish
14. click on apply
15. click on ok to close
This is very similar for all windows programs operating.
with a little research, you will be able to find the exact measurements for each operating system
Hope this helps all who have the same problem

Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)
Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.
My Boot.ini file at this time was:
[boot loader]
Timeout = 5
default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
[operating systems]
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
"signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetectI looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477
(The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)
I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.
He gave me something like:
[boot loader]
Timeout = 5
default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
[operating systems]
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
"signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetectI also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).
I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".
I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.
I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.
I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...
My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?
Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx
Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...
Someone has an idea?
PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!
Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.
Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...
In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).
In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html
(except I've had the first installation already done).
Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.
EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

Printer does not print to restart the computer
My LasterJet Pro 400 M401dn (new) print only when the computer is restarted. I changed the USB cables, USB ports, turn off sleep on my Toshiba laptop utility. I use Windows 7. Other previously directly attached printers worked fine.
Within 4-5 minutes to restart, I am unable to print. When I restart the documents in the print queue to print very well.
Any help would be appreciated!
Julie
Hey JAGSM,
Which driver you use with the printer? Have you installed the driver full features here?
Or
Have you installed the driver of the UPD on the same page?
I would try this printer uninstallation and reinstallation. Try the full functionality and UPD to see if it is a driver compatibility problem that leads to this problem.

I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.
Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank youHello

The printer indicates that online, my laptop said that it is in offline mode, I've deleted and reinstalled the printer and still the same problem, please help
You are not quite correct. Some newer wireless printers have only a wireless connection. No USB port and a standard Ethernet cable port.

Hello1. What is the brand of your printer?2. when the question is is produced?3. you remember to make changes to your computer before the problem?4. when exactly you get this error?I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.

He tells me I'm the operating system (Windows Vista - 64 bit OS) is not compatible.I remember that I kept getting error messages when Microsoft Updates running on my computer and I followed some "fix" for the error to go away in a few months.

My printer recently started telling me it was in a State of 'error' and could not print my documents. Sometimes I could turn off the printer market and all that was trying to print would then print, if documents or Quicken checks. Now I can't print from the computer at all, or it will print checks from Quicken even if I turn the printer power off and power on. The HP Web site indicates that it is connected. It is the second computer from HP Officejet 4620 of the original that I bought. The first has a problem that has been covered by the warranty, and this one doesn't seem to be much better.

I recently purchased a Brother (MFC-J265W) all-in-one printer that has a wireless capability. I finished configuring wireless from the machine, however when I tried to install the printer drivers by using the CD-ROM, the installation failed because an error message indicates that "arguments are invalid". I contacted brother customer service and they said it's a matter of Microsoft.
A few details:
I use Microsoft XP Home edition 32 bit SP2. It came installed on my laptop (Acer).
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times, but I get the error message.
I tried to download and install the latest driver from the Brother Web site, but I still get the error message.
Specifications (in the manual and on the Windows website), the printer IS compatible with Windows XP.
I would like to know how to solve this problem and also to understand what means the error message.
Thank you
When a hardware vendor says "It's a problem of Microsoft", without providing further details, you can be sure that you talk with a person of lazy tech support who wants to end the call and does not know how to solve your problem.
I suggest that you completely uninstall some pieces of the printer driver and the associated software are already installed using the directions here: Article 1. Then, disconnect your computer from the Internet, run your antivirus application disable (disable realtime protection) and install the printer as if you planned it or connected to the computer via the USB port, but do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted to do so.
If you successfully installed printer as a USB printer, converting the wireless connection should be reasonably simple :-).
If the above procedure doesn't help, especially if you get the same error, return brother support and request that escalating the issue until you find someone who can help you.
