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.

  • 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.

  • My printers are not displayed in devices and printers

    When I click on devices and printers appear none of my printers.  I need to remove a printer that is installed on a computer crashed accidentally got checked as a default printer.  When my used printers appears and I deleted a printer he would show back up again.  Now, I'd be happy if I could see them listed.  Windows runs to look for, but no icons never appear.

    I need to access my list of installed printers to manage!

    I'm confused.

    Each machine can have a different default printer - so why would you need to remove the printer to a device has crashed? The fact that the aircraft crashed had a particular printer as default does not affect any other machine.
    You are now working on a new machine?
    If Yes, have you actually installed your printers? (Are they not magically...)
  • Printer does not appear in "devices and printers".

    I recently "upgraded" to Windows 8, after that my laptop was stolen and have spent hours trying to restore comparable to my new functionality.

    My workhorse printer, I've used extensively with Windows 7, is a EPSON Artisan 1430

    I have correctly installed by download on the new computer and print a test page, but the printer does not appear in the devices and printers folder, so I can't use it.

    It is listed in the Device Manager folder, under the Print Queue, but of course, it is not usable there. Who does nothing but confirm that it is installed.

    My devices folder and shows the default two printers printers I don't have not and CUTE PDF, which I installed it without problems.

  • Mice are not appearing after the last update of Windows 8

    After update to the last version of windows 8, my mouse does not work on my computer no more. I use a "HAMA Optical Mouse AM-5000" and a 64-bit Windows 8 operating system to my office. Before the update, everything worked very well, but a little at the time (perhaps a week?) there was a software update that began when I shut down my computer for the night and after, my mouse wouldn't just appear. Then I want to restore my computer to before the update and everything would work fine. It happened maybe 3 times in the past week. Today, however, every time that I restored it to an earlier date, the mouse still does not. I tried the following things:

    Deactivation and reactivation of the mouse
    Uninstall the drivers and search for updates
    Try different mouse (2 USB, 1 green connector)
    Using the troubleshooting in the Device Manager tool, a fine of the question
    Non of them did it no matter what and I wonder if I'm the only one to receive the problem. and what I can do about it. Trying to navigate in windows using only the keyboard becomes very annoying XD.
    Thanks for the reply of Kevin,

    In the (Control Panel > system and security > Windows Update > View Update History) all there is "you have not tried to install the updates for this computer. There "18 updated important and 5 available optional updates to install, but I think that those who might be updates that have been the cause.

    In the (Control Panel > programs > programs and features > Installed Updates) there are a bunch of installed updates. The most recent is "Word Viewer 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3): WDVIEWSP3" which has been installed on 26/09/13 and "update for Microsoft Windows (KB2889543)" which has been installed on 25/09/13.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from the mouse on the site that you have linked and no change. By chipset are you referring to the processor (Intel i7)?
  • Drive external hard drive does not appear under "devices."

    Hello

    I just updated my OS to Sierra of MacOS. I have connected my external hard drive (HDD) and it does not appear under "Devices" in my Finder window. It worked fine before the update.

    I use a MacBook Pro (end of 2013), currently running MacOS Sierra (Version 10.12). My external HARD drive is a SeaGate Slim SL Media (500 GB).

    The external HARD disk appears in disk utility application. He also appears on the about this Mac > system report > USB. I don't know what the problem is, the external HARD disk is identified but does not appear for use in the Finder window.

    I read that it could possibly be in mode 'sleep' and putting the MacBook to sleep (while it is plugged into the external HARD drive) and it to wake up again should solve the problem. However, it did not work. No more restarting my MacBook. It was mentioned in another post that it may require extra power, so I attached power adapter and again, without success.

    I do not want to clear the contents of the external HARD drive.

    Is there a way to get my external HARD drive works as expected with my MacBook?

    Thank you much in advance.

    I also have this problem.

    My camera is Macbook Pro 13 "retina 2015 and Seagate Backup more 1 TB (NTFS - Paragon NTFS)

  • 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.

  • CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

    I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  • How can I remove the documents from my iPad added when it was running regular Acrobat, now that happened in DC?  The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not appear to be a function of deletion for non-cloud docs.

    I use an iPad.  It switches me automatically in Acrobat outdated in DC.  How can I remove the documents that have been on my iPad with the old Acrobat?  They are not in the cloud, and DC does not appear to be a function of deletion for them.

    Hello

    By default, Acrobat DC IOS shows the consulted files recently.  You need to switch to another file location (for example, Local, Document cloud creative) to delete, rename, move or duplicate files.

    You can switch to the Local, if you do not want the files and folders that are stored locally on your iPad.
