Satellite A100: Parallel Port to USB with Vista printing error

I have a new laptop Toshiba A100 with Windows Vista installed. I can't make my printer A3 HP works via USB with a USB/parallel cable.

Vista recognizes the connection and says driver installed. Try to print, and it just says: "error" Vista will not let me load the driver supplied with the connecting cable. Anyone got a solution for this?

Hello

Are you sure that the driver that came with the connection cable was designed for Windows Vista?
I assume that the driver is compatible with early versions of Windows like XP.

    Maybe your TCP settings are not correct? Try searching on google for some tools that configure your tcp and internet settings correctly, then maybe you can solve it this way.

  • Satellite A100-147: problem of Bluetooth with BT dongle for mobile devices

    Hi guys, take it easy because this is my 1st post.

    I see there are some problems with BT and yes I am here with problems too!
    I recently had to reinstall XP PRO due to a virus, I ve installed all my drivers and even tried the recommended download links but nothing.
    When I load a BT2stack (tried different install x 64 etc.) installation driver, it came with small BT symbol in the taskbar, but when I clicked to toggle the box was just 'grey' and cannot be enabled.

    I noticed the code BW on the underside of my lappy is slightly different, but the a, just do not know if it s compatible with its location in the code.

    Code ends with 15WBT/DS2/LM/W... This seems ok or am I Bluetooth less!

    Whatever it is, the strange thing is I ve it works ok in the past by a BT toggle was having taken in the usb port, no probs in the past using this with my cell phone, but on the purchase of a new (old we had stood on) one mini disc 'pilot', it came with comes up with "E:\ is not accessible" and my disc drive is ok! weird but my 1st rocking didn't come with a disk and the other the box "found the new device" came it was straight forward.

    Axious even now I need this facility to work.

    Please, if anyone has a simple step-by-step tutorial for me to follow then that would be great. I m obviously missing something, but all leads come to a dying.

    see you soon... pete!

    PS. do not operate my FN + F8 but F1 etc seem to just put me on another page on this site?

    I confirm the information published by Blue2S.
    Satellite A100-147 was NOT equipped with the Bluetooth module!

    So you can not activate because there is NO BT!

  • Driver files that run the parallel port and USB port

    In the system information utility where to look to find the parallel port and the port driver USB, name of file that manages these?

    Know the drivers specific, is only half the story.  Why you looking for these drivers?  You have problems with your parallel port or USB port?  This can be caused by problems with drivers or it could be a hardware problem (hard to diagnose a hardware problem without good parts to swap and test).  If you need to update the drivers, you must use device (not msinfo32) Manager - or maybe clicking on an executable file that loads the drivers automatically (depends on how it is sent by download).

    Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need drivers (I assume that you want to the parallel port and USB ports), get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Or run the Setup program of driver provided by the vendor of the computer or the manufacturer of the device.  Be VERY careful get Vista compatible drivers for these devices are difficult to identify (they usually come with the numbers of model or something like that if they can have serial numbers) and using the wrong drivers could make the problem (whatever that is) worse.

    If you update the drivers succerssfully and the problem persists, then it is probably a hardware problem.  In this case, contact the manufacturer of your computer for technical support (hopeully it is still under warranty) or bring it to a professional computer repairman (NOT Geek Squad or one of those big store centers because they don't really know what they're doing and charge a lot for this level of expertise) to have the components tested and possibly replaced.

    I hlpe that aid.

    Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

    Please call Microsoft. You must activate Vista by phone.
    As far as I know the phone call is free. After that it all works again.

    Is there a repair partition on the hard drive?
    If yes how do for her?

    Jef

    I don't know what the problem is here, but if you're not able to load Vista using F8 and safe mode, then there must be a serious problem.
    I think the best solution for you is to install Vista using recovery media delivered.

  • Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

    I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
    Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
    I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

    Hey guys

    You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
    Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

    It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.
