Printing from Vista 64 bit

I have an old but superb HP Deskjet 720C printer, it worked fine in XP via a parallel to USB adapter cable but, even if it's on the list of compatibility of Vista it won't work for Vista 64-bit!

When I try to print, the printer turns on, gets as much as to load paper then it's there with a flashing light.  I turned off the printer, then he feeds a sheet of paper blank and closed its doors?

I deleted the printer, plugged re, Vista has found and loaded the driver but the printer will not work.  Tried the HP diagnostic prog that tells me that there is no printer and no driver, but Vista tells me that the HP 720 C is the default printer and is ready to print. Also, it shows a document in the queue, and then indicates an error printing.

HP say there is no new drivers and Vista already has the driver more appropriate.

My system is an i7 920 cpu, 6 GB of RAM with Vista 64 bit (SP2 now) Although it wouldn't work on SP1.

Question 1.  It is possible to work?

Question 2.  If this is not the case, what inkjet is guaranteed to work with V64, as well as WIn 7 when it comes out?

Can anyone help?

  • On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

    I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

    4. check your hard disk for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

    If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Problems printing L7590 (Vista 64-bit); works perfectly on XP Pro SP3

    Hi all

    New L7590 on Vista 64 bit on HP Pavilion A6720F has problems.  When I print a page to test simple (or something else), she prints about half the page and prints then completed three pages, each with one or two lines of strange characters at the top (small faces, @ signs, hearts, call you).  Meanwhile, the computer makes that sound that you hear when you connect a new USB device about 4 to 7 times.  It also provides that the sound when you copy just a document, but it works.

    I have attached the printer from the box of my XP Pro SP3 and it printed as a champion of CorelDraw and Adobe Acrobat Pro, in addition to a good one to test page printing.  None of these USB connection sounds were heard.

    ideas?

    The problem is not with the printer!  It is with the Pavilion/Vista 64 operating system.  HP Pavilion support solves the problem.  HP OfficeJet does not know how to solve the problem.  Here is the address that they realized that me and once the drivers have loaded issue resolved.  http://www.NVIDIA.com/Object/nforce_vista64_15.24.html good luck.

  • Satellite A500 - how to move from Vista 64 bit to 32 bit?

    Hei guys,.

    Recently, I bought my new A500 series - 14 c and installed the 64-bit version of Vista. What is happening is that I later discovered that a USB sound card that I use doesn't have vista64 drivers yet, so I wanted to reinstall the OS and choose Vista 32 this time.

    I was wondering how I can do? Can I just create the recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery? Who will ask me this that IF I want to install or will it just restore the latest version?

    What other ways can I try? My computer did not bring any DVD, so I guess that the two KIND of facilities are always stored on the HARD drive. I don't know where or how to use them.

    > I recently bought my new A500 series - 14 c and installed the 64-bit version of Vista

    I guess that you have formatted the whole HARD disk during the installation of 64-bit Vista.
    Is this good?

    If yes then you would not be able to get the Vista 32 bit OS back because you n t create the recovery disk before installing vista 64 bit OS.

    The Toshiba laptops Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool.
    This tool allows you to create the recovery disk that you would help to redefine the laptop to factory settings.

    If you don t have this drive and if you are not able to create it so you could order from this page:

  • Can I switch from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit on hp pavillion d4790y?

    I have 2 gig ram, but really need to accelerate up to 8 GB. I would also like to get win 7 for the office. Before all this, I need to know since my current OS is 32-bit, but 64-bit capable, if I install windows 7 64 bit will it pass from 32 to 64? And then the 8 GB of RAM will actually work if I buy that as well? Will I run into all the problems of the material inside (processor or motherboard (intel core 2 cpu [email protected] ghz))? I do not understand 32-bit to 64-bit conversions... Thank you

    Hi, Ciaroman:

    As I explained to wb2001, there is a difference between an upgrade on the spot and a custom (new installation).

    An upgrade in place means that you keep all of your files, programs and settings when you upgrade to Windows 7.

    While I always recommend backing up your files in case something goes wrong, all you do is pop in the disk on the Windows desktop and it installs Windows 7 and other than that, your PC is just the way it was before you upgrade, except that you now have Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.

    You may need to install a couple of pilots, but that should be all you need to do.

    When you move from a 32-bit to a 64 bit OS OS, you can do an upgrade on the spot.

    You have to backup all your files and completely reload all programs, files and personal settings once your new 64-bit OS is installed.

    This installation method is called a custom or clean installation.

    Now as for the memory... Basically, Crucial memory is the same as the memory that I posted from NewEgg.

    If you feel 'safer' purchase of Crucial, by all means do so.

    I just give you options for less expensive, but also as a decent memory.

    This choice is yours.

    I can't say, I bought my memory from NewEgg (essential or patriot) for laptops and for a few years now and never had a problem with backward compatibility still.

    Here's an article on the latency CASE that explains better that I could. Basically the more latency, faster memory performs. This is not the same as the speed in MHz, it performs to.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

    So, as the number 5 of the same 800 Mhz memory chip should give you a slightly better Windows experience index # a chip number 6.

    I'm not an expert of memory. I didn't even know there were fleas in CASE 5 PC2-6400. I thought they were all CASES 6 and that all modules in memory PC2-5300 cases5.

    In any case, I went with Crucial memory because it was cheaper at the time.

    So, to summarize...

    Upgrade on-site is NOT the same as a custom upgrade.

    In place keeps all the files and settings and install just the OS on the existing.

    Custom: All files and programs must be reinstalled after installing the OS.

    CASE 5 memory 'faster' than the memory of 6 CASES.

    Just for fun, when you get your floppy drive to install W7 (I recommend buying retail package so that you get a 32 bit version and 64), put the 64 bit OS installation disc in the DVD drive on the windows desktop and see what happens.

    Then, remove the disc and insert the W7 32-bit installation disk and see what happens.

    You will then have proof positive, there is no way you can do an inplace upgrade to an OS 64-bit to a 32 bit OS.

    Personally, I would do a custom (clean install) of a 32 to an OS 32 bit or 64 64-bit OS anyway. I am suspicious of an upgrade inplace carrying luggage old to the new facility.

    Please report if you have any other questions or need additional assistance.

  • Reinstall from Vista 32 bit to 64 bit Vista: problem CD available without CD keys

    Recently, I sent my laptop to change its hard drive. Then of course the current operating system on my laptop (Vista Home premium 64) must be reinstalled.

    However, the technician only reinstalled a 32-bit Home Premium for me.

    It is therefore possible to reinstall and install a 64 by a link of sorts? I have the CD key with me, but my laptop is not equipped with a CD for the operating system.

    Hello

    No links for Vista 64-bit.

    Why you do not get the repair shop to do the job properly? You paid money.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Cannot print from Vista laptop after going DSL ATT Uverse. __

    Have a XP PC with a Canon Pixma 310 connected via USB.  Before Uverse, I was able to print from my Vista laptop that is used wireless.  I checked to make sure that the printer is shared on all parameters. When I try to print from laptop, I get a window indicating the printer is not enabled.   I spoke with Cannon and Uverse mean that it is a Vista setting.  not need to change anything, other than the DSL, uverse.

    You use a different wireless router now that yopu use Uverse?  Is the printer connected to a PC in your local network, or is it wireless itself?  Open your printers folder and right click on the print queue.  Click on properties.  Select the Ports tab.  Scroll down to the port that you use for the queue.  What is an IP address?  If so, is this the right place?  If you have changed wireless routers, the local address may be different from what it was with the old router.

  • upgrading from vista 32-bit to 64-bit computer win computer 7 B

    So I plan on selling my old computer (only for parts) and keep my driver's license for windows vista, then buy a new computer. My current computer is windows vista family 32-bit premium, but I want to go to windows 7 Home premium 64-bit on the new computer, I can buy the upgrade, or do I have to buy a new license? I'm also curious of what is required to install the upgrade, you need your vista license every time that install you it? Or is this a one-time thing?

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.

    It must be done with a clean install.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

  • Printing from Vista as negative?

    A friend of mine with Vista has a printing problem, its PC print photos as negative, what happens when printing my pictures or Photoshop, but they print correctly by using the printer software?

    I wonder if this is a setting in the color management that could be the problem?
    If anyone has had this problem I would like to know how you fixed, or can anyone offer advice on how to fix this?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Waseemulla and sirot

    As promised I'm report how I arrived at this problem.

    I am happy to report that I got the problem fixed - but not by one of the methods above.

    Reminder, the problem was with printing photos from Windows or Photoshop - they have somehow transformed in negative (monochrome not - just like watching a negative color film before the digital age). Strangely, everything printed fine - color web pages, color of text in documents, etc. were all OK.

    Step by step, that's what I did:

    I ruled out a problem with the printer, as this worked fine using the Canon software.

    There was that a graphics card from nVidia in the PC with it associated software, there was an update to the driver, what was the next step.

    After a reboot, the problem was exactly the same, I could see the preview before printing, so doesn't need not keep waste of ink and paper.

    I then looked at the color management (in Control Panel) and noticed he didn't profile associated with the parser - bought the monitor with the PC and the colors went well, including looking at the pictures in their records. I decided that there should be a profile and looked through all installed profiles and not knowing which was the right chose the standard sRGB profile because I knew it would be close enough.

    Bingo! that fixed it. Tried to print a photo and it looked very good, pretty much exactly as it appeared on the screen so the color match is good.

    Next time that I'm home, I can look on the monitor manufacturer's web site to get the appropriate profile and put it on, but it may not be necessary because I think that the colors went well - I will keep control with my friend if other photos, it prints look the same as they do on the screen.

    I hope this information is useful to others.

    Thanks again for your help people, you can't have provided the answer, but you got me started in the right direction.

    Hi derekdel,

    For 32-bit to a 64-bit system on any operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7), you will need to do a clean install.  The upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit is not available on any Microsoft OS.
