• Same printer install several times

  I use a laptop and so I don't always have my connected printer.  Whenever I plug in my printer to use, Vista considers it as a brand printer and installs it again anywhere.  I had several copies of my printer here at once.  How to prevent this from happening because it's very annoying.
  Thank you!

  Hello ehaily,

  When a device is connected to a new port for the first time, the device driver is recovered by the system and then installed. It may not make much sense, but it happens. However, this should really be a 'behind the scenes' process, and you should not see multiple entries when you go to Control Panel > Printers.

  So, I'd like to point you to the information provided on another post found here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/e796c318-86fe-4a3e-8fff-a736334166b5. If you are comfortable with troubleshooting, he will guide you through manually remove the system printer. Once completed you can then download the "current" package from your printer manufactures website.

• Windows Vista has been installed twice on my PC, I can remove one?

  Windows Vista is installed on my laptop twice. Is there a way to delete one of them? If so, how?

  
  

  You don't say what divides, or how and why you have 2 installs.

  The best way is to start > wipe both installs > reinstall correctly.

  And don'ts that confused with an Installation of Vista recovery drive.

  See you soon.

• Photosmart B8550 - make the XL 564 cartridges ink also incorporate the same print head?

  Photosmart B8550

  XL 564 ink cartridges sit also in the same print head? Or do I need to buy a big print head to accommodate XL ink cartridges?

  I ask this is because 564 plain ink cartridges seem to fit pretty snuggly here, so I don't see how a wide range of ink cartridges could go in there!

  Or what is the standard ink cartridges are only half full and XL ink cartridges are full, so they use the same ink cartridge?

  Thank you!

  As long as you use the same number 564, etc. 940 XL just means that it gives more volume page. So, you can use the same print head...

• How can I install the same printer twice?

  How can I install the same printer twice, with different printer for each preferences? I got my printer configured this way with my old Win XP system, but can't find a way to do it with Windows 7.

  I do it all the time.  The devices folder and printer stacks multiple instances on the same device on top of the first unit (since it's the same device).  If you have Pro or Ultimate, you can use the UI created by the spooler, printmanagement.msc team, to manage your local printers.  The former team of spooler printers folder is also around, but it's really hidden.

  This command will launch the printers (no authorized device) folder

• Photosmart C410A: HP Solution Center install on 2 PCs for the same printer

  I have two PCs running Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit and a HP Photosmart C410A printer, wireless connections to my network.  The solution Center has worked well on the first PC, it was installed on.  I tried to install it on my new PC, but I get an error on USB hardware and software; It will not attempt to connect and install wireless.

  My question: can you run Solution Center HP of two different PC for the same printer Photosmart C410A?

  Thank you.

  Yes,

  You can install the HP Solution Center software on several computers connected to the same netowrk as your printer.

  Try following these steps to solve the USB error during installation:

  Click the Start button and type folder in the search bar, then open the Temp folder indicated.
  
  Open the last HP installation folder that begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
  Open the installation folder.
  Find the file usbready.exe and rename it to usbready.old.exe
  Navigate to the main extraction folder (folders that begins with 7z) and run the Setup.exe file.
  
  Now follow the installation and check for the difference.

• I use two browsers, Firefox and Safari. What I need to install twice, once launch each browser?

  I use two browsers, Firefox and Safari OS x 10.9.4.  Do I have to install Flash twice - once to launch each browser?  Or the card lies in a sort of cache, connecting on any browser he committed?

  Hello maxlexs,

  No, you don't have to install twice.  The same plug-in lies in a location accessible by Safari and Firefox and works in both browsers.

• Unable to connect to a network printer with Win7 x 64 machine

  I have a printer that is shared on a Server 2003 server is installed. I can find the printer when I add a printer, but at the end of the installation it says "Windows cannot connect to the printer. I am trying to install this printer on a Win 7 Pro x 64.

  I installed this printer on a Windows 7 Pro 32 x machine.
  I have the same printer brand a "HP Laserjet P2050 Series PCL6' installed on my W7x64 machine but from another server (Server 2003 yet).
  If the driver is already installed on W7x64.
  Also, I was able to install it using the IP address, but our software companies used the \\Server\printer convention for their print programs. so, it should be installed like this to work with our enterprise systems.
  It's very frustrating.

• Can I use the same product key in a virtual machine that I use for the Windows installation that hosts the VM?

  I have a valid Windows 7 Professional installation as well as a copy of VMWare Workstation running on Windows 7. I would like to install a VM Windows 7 that I can "break" without worrying about my host system. Can I use the same product key for the virtual machine that I currently use on the host system, or do I have to buy a different product key for the virtual machine?

  Thank you!

  No, you will need to purchase an additional license. The virtual machine is considered to be a separate computer.

• Is it possible to install Firefox on multiple machines with plugins already installed using a flash drive?

  I am currently install Firefox on several machines and would like 2 plugins installed with installation. At this point, we have to install Firefox, then go back and install the 2 plugins. There must be an easier way. Plugins help our content company to load properly on machines.

  Oh boy, I see you don't have experience with this... ok, you've been around here, once you paste the file C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla you need to install firefox, firefox installs in C:\Program Files, and you're done, once firefox opens it checks the contents of C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and load all the information there , addons, history, passwords, etc.
  In the plain English there are 2 files in Mozila\Firefox, one in C:\Program Files and contains ONLY what it takes to run firefox.exe, other Mozila\Firefox is located in your USER folder and contains your personal profile that has your plugins, addons, paswords, history, bookmarks, if you delete this folder once you run firefox it will create a new and start over If you have this folder you should have if you did stick it in the new machine, so when you install and run firefox it will be the contents of this folder and run, his cloning as your current firefox in another machine, but you need to install firefox because she needs to add extra stuff to the registry and stuff, BUT it is an alternative If you want to have both these files without having to install anything, just copy and paste, then you need a Firefox Portable, which will work with installation 0, being a little slow to start, but once opened will be will work also quickly as one installed (the disc depends on his work, a hard drive is fast (, a USB is faster an ssd we the fastest).
  If you still have questions feel free to ask. If you go the route portable firefox there are many videos on youtube that will show you how to do or where to download it. Good luck.
