I have a laptop which is under XP Pro, and who has a connection with the network.  I downloaded the driver from HP on the laptop to try to connect with the 6940, but during the install process, I get the message "Printer not found - Setup could not detect all the printers on the network."

Firewalls on both computers is disabled.

When I type the IP address in the address of the host computer or on the portable bar, I page of the printer, including its SSID.

I tried to type the IP address in the field suitable for the installation of HP on the portable routine, however and always got the "printer not found."

Ideas?  TIA

  2. Under print jobs, click on "Add Printer".
  3. Click 'Next' in the Add Printer Wizard window.

  6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port Wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the same network that your computer is connected to. click on the button "next".
  7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP printer Port", enter the host name of the printer . You can also use the IP address of the printer if it is static. Click 'Next' and then click 'Finish '.
  8. Now, select HP in the manufacturers list, select your printer from the printer model list and click the button "next".
  9. If you can't find your printer, you will need to find the installation CD and use the 'Disc' option to select one of the files hp*.ini. You can also select another model of the same type HP printer.
  10. Add the name of print spooler and click on "next".

    Hello

    I use a CP1025nw for a while now on Windows 8 Pro use Windows 7 drivers.  Today, I found that Windows 8 drivers out there so I uninstalled the version of Windows 7 and I try to install the new however have great difficulties.

    The printer is connected by ethernet to the router, I can connect via the web browser without problems, printing HP Scan doctor finds the printer intermittently and the installation software can't find any.  The firewall is disabled, and of course the printer is offline, as evidenced by the web connection.

    Can someone help with this frustrating problem?

    Thank you

    I have the printer works now by installing the base driver and a manual installation, even Windows can not find the printer on the network despite the browser it's fine.

    The procedure was to install the base driver downloaded from the HP website, add a printer, choose "my printer is not listed", select HP JetDirect port, specify the IP address of the printer and manually select the driver in the list.

    I also have an ongoing case with the help of HP so no need to reply to this topic, but I will update if I hear anything that might be useful to others.

  • ePrint Setup could not connect to the network

    I have problem with my hp3515 all-in-one printer (two months). I am facing problem with ePrint. It has been installed correctly, but recently it has stopped working. HP wireless works and shows the IP address. When you press the ePrint button it gives the message that it could not connect to the internet. I tried to reconfigure ePrint and now it is not possible to reconfigure. I use a router D Link DSL-2750U.

    Hello

    First, I put a static DNS on the built-in web server (EWS). To do this:

    1. Type (example 192.168.XXX.XXX) IP address by itself in the address bar of the browser. Who will bring to the top of the EWS page. From there, you want to find the network tab. On this page, find the column that is usually found on the left and select 'network' and then on the network address to find net page (IP), then select this option. Who will bring to the top of the configuration page.
    2. You want to draw attention to section 2 entitled "DNS Configuration". Change the radial button to "Manual DNS"; for filling of favorite/primary DNS 8.8.8.8; for the secondary/Alternative fill 8.8.4.4 and then select 'apply '.
    3. If a message appears after it with an "OK" button carefully read this message! Most of the time this message is to inform you to click OK to cancel the change you made, if that's the message of case ignore, you can simply navigate to another tab on the built-in Web server to get away.
    4. Power cycle then the printer and it should then connect to web services

    As is printing wireless to other computers and static DNS should solve your problems of ePrint you would not need to uninstall at this stage.

    To reprint the touch of info page the button marked 'ePrint' on the front panel of the printer and that should bring up an option on the display screen to re - print information page.

  • Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

    Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

    Here's the situation.

    I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

    I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

    Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

    Thank you in advance!

    Maybe not...

    The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

    I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

    Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

    http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

    Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

    Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

    Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

    The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

    If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.

    QuickBooks worked very well under Vista? It should also work reliably on Windows 7.

    However, you may want to follow these steps.

    1. right click on your quickbooks start exe file and open properties.

    2. on the Compatibility tab, select the compatibility mode and run this program in compatibility mode for Windows using the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows (only if she worked very well with former Windows operating system)

    3. the control privilege level "Run this program as Administrator". Press apply/OK to close properties.

    4. start - devices and printers - add a printer - add a local printer - create a new port - local port and name it QBD_PDF.

    5. Choose install AMYUNI Technologies - Amyuni Document Converter 300 (click the button update windows if it is not on your list).

    6. If windows detects you already have a driver and then choose to replace the current driver. The printer name Quickbooks PDF Converter - do not share the printer - NOT set as the default printer. Finishing

    7. start right click - devices and printers - printer QB, choose printer - properties and go to the Advanced tab.

    8. remove the checkmarks in the 4 elements with square next to them (lower part of the screen) boxes, and then select "Print directly to the printer" press OK to close the window.

    9 restart you computer and open Quickbooks. Open the file - printer installation and make sure of Quickbooks PDF Converter is selected for any operation PDF printer that you use frequently. (on rare occasions, you will see not of Quickbooks PDF Converter on the list, reboot again and you'll get it).

    You can now perform operations of PDF in Quickbooks (works for 32 and 64-bit Windows 7)
