Printers are not recognized, although visible and properly installed

First of all; Thanks in advance for your help. Many hours spent in research without result. I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 on an Acer Aspire X 3200-64 - bit. Recently, I ran a software (don't remember the name) which removes the "bloatware" preinstalled on computers in large areas. Be applied semi-ordinateur, I tend to exceed my capacities and I believe I also deleted a file that is necessary for the systΦme can recognize the printers... Or... Adobe associate... Or... not as likely, a question of IE. How far am I curious.

Plug

Acer Aspire X 3200-64 bit

Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2

2 different printers tried:

HP Photosmart C3180 - all-in-One

Dell Photo 924 all-in-one reference

Adobe Reader X

IE 9 (does not work on IE 8)

Actions - comments

Ran 'bloatware' remover - next print attempt failed (assuming that I deleted something I have not) what follows is a list of symptoms.

-Always visible as a printer available and all administrative options are available and seem to work fine with the ready state.

-Print the test/alignment page still works

-When you try to print from the internet the following message is displayed: "Before you can run a task related to printers, install a printer"... printers are always shown as ready and available , but the option is grayed out

-Adobe crashes when you attempt to print as soon as you press the printed confirmation - "Adobe has stopped working".

-Outlook shows "print is not available. There is no printer installed. ' - although, apparently, they are installed and functional drivers

-Ran that all printer related error utilities that I could find... spools are beautiful, updated version, correct 64-bit drivers, etc..

-Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer - no luck

-Borrowed from someone other printer Dell - no luck... which leads me to believe it is some part in communications hardware

I can't understand it. My next step is reformatting the system whole darn. :) Your guidance is appreciated!

towens777,

Repair IE8 (IE7) and IE9

For the Dell 924 printer...

First run delete print jobs to remove all print jobs stuck in the queue.

Unplug the printer.

Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

Restart your computer. Make sure that the printer is deleted. Driver Manual printer removal

Download and install the 64 bit Vista drivers. You will get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at the moment (power on)

You will find links to the patch/drivers to...

Dell 924 Photo-All - In - One Printer owners thread (W7)

Do not forget that firewalls and anti-virus programs will block communications.

If everything does not work, you may need to run the system restore both before running this program.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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...)
  • HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f.  What is a controller failure?  A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?

    dhobs,

    Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)

    You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.

    Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

    I recently bought a new camera from Sony a7 - ii.  the first time I tried to import raw images taken with it (with a. Suffix ARW) the program says "Preview not available for this file" and then "files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" I have the most updated version, I think as 5.7.  What should I do to get these files imported as raw files?

    Hi Bobsirkus,

    The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.

    Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

  • Cc of Lightroom will not import my files, it is said that they are not recognized, why it doesn't matter that a DNG and not a raw file, I use a canon 5 3

    Can someone tell me why Lightroom cc wants to import my files under a DNG, I used to import as a raw file, it says the files are not recognized, I use a Canon 5 3 and never had the problem before, he said actually the Raw Format is not supported in Lightroom.

    Thanks in advance John.

    Hi, dj_paige,

    I managed to sort it out, the problem was when I used my Kingston card reader to import my images in LR Cc, it would not recognize the file format, so when I thought a little more, tired of importing directly from my 5 d 3, it worked very well, so now I need to find a card reader supports LR CC ,

    Thanks for your reply, regards, John.

  • My USB devices are not recognized, but they have a power

    My USB devices are not recognized, the only ones to be recognized are my mouse and keyboard. Each device is powered (motherboard works fine), but Windows 7 isn't their read (although sometimes I'll get a code 43). I have the latest chipset.

    My external hard drive, ipod and other devices that involve the transfer of data seem to ONLY get power and nothing else.

  • Some tags are not recognized at all (mp3/ogg, always full albums)

    Hello!

    I encountered a strange problem. My rocket recognizes not all my files tags. — about 1/3 of my songs appear as 'unknown' as 'unknown '. My question is, someone bumped into what whether similar? I tried searching this forum but can't find anything similar.

    It's a little weird, like:

    • They are always full albums that are not recognized (i.e. newer than a part of an album).
    • I have not found a common application for the albums, tags are not recognized;
    • Some of them are MP3 (id3v2.4 I presume), some are OGG,.
    • some (most) is torn apart by myself CD, some are not.
    • I have them checked (of course) on the computer and all my software recognizes the tags.

    For example, 4 8 Weather Report albums are "unknown" - and one of them is OGG, MP3 3 and 4 which ARE recognized, 3 are OGG and 1 is MP3. I have my albums organized in the manner of MUSIC/artist/Album folders / *. [mp3/ogg] on the "rocket".

    All have been (re) marked with easytag, in fact, that I have recently relabelled/checked the tags of my entire collection with easytag (to ensure that it is usable on the "rocket"). There must be something wrong with my tags. I tried to format the device (in the menu), reset the database by deleting the device, but it does not... help on the updating of the database that is the same files that do not have recognized, however.

    Any suggestions or ideas?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi again!

    And, thanks to the advice of sansafix, this problem is now solved!

    It seems that id3v2.4 was the culprit - my files under 2.3 relabeling them does the job. In addition, my OGG files were (and still are) the ID3 tag, unlike what I thought. But now they are 2.3 work also.

    Don't know why some of the tags did work, however, even though they were all 2.4 - but their relabelling as 2.3 made it all work in any case. Also, in easytag, I can't seem to be able to prevent OGG files of the ID3 tag, I can only it stop him marking with ID3 alltogether (which is not nice, because I have MP3 and OGG). There is an option to avoid tagging FLAC with ID, however. Maybe I should post a feature request for the guys of easytag, this should be easy to implement...

    I have my tags to format UTF-16 also and did not encounter any problems (yet - my rocket is still so new I don't have time to see all the songs with characters & foreign languages).

    But, in any case, thanks again! Very useful forum, it is indeed.
