• error 0X800f0214 when you install the printer driver

  When you install a printer driver (network), an error message appears saying that the action could not be completed - error 0X800f0214. The printer is shared and my firewall is set to off. I have absolutely no idea on what to do and would like to get advice and INFO.

  Marc DS,
  It would be useful to have a bit more information, such as the make and model of the printer, what version of Vista you are running and what type of network - wired or wireless (or both), if there are other non-Vista on the network computers, etc.  You get the error message corresponds to "the specified path does not contain any applicable device INFs" which means basically the location where the OS is looking for the driver file does contain a valid driver file.  There could be several reasons for this, but without knowing the configuration of network and printer, it's hard to identify.  Make sure that the driver is one that is suitable for this printer model and your version of Vista and make sure that the path (c:\ - or other) is correct and that the location of the driver file is shared.  I hope this helps.  Please post back with more information if you still need help.

• I have can´t install any printer driver

  I am having a problem when I try to install the Brother printer driver 8890 dw and displays the error message "WINDOWS COULD NOT INSTALL the PRINTER DRIVER in KERNEL MODE", this happens for any driver I try to install, I checked and the printer is compatible with windows 7 on my other computer works normally.

  Hi Lucas,.

  We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  Some of the kernel-mode drivers are not supported in Windows 7, because kernel-mode drivers could allow Remote Code execution.

  In addition, when a kernel mode driver is corrupted, it blocks the entire system as opposed to the user-mode drivers. Please see the link below for more information

  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS09-065.mspx

• I'm unable to install the printer driver for HP OfficeJet G55xi

  I am trying to install the printer driver for HP OfficeJet G55xi.

  When I went to the HP site, it said to install Windows 7 operating system printer driver, by plugging the printer on my Windows 7 computer using a USB cable.  I did, but it was not installed.

  I also need to install the HP Director software.

  I had a computer technician to connect remotely to my computer to install the printer.  He had to install additional tools that are available on the same site where I tried to install the printer driver.  I don't know how he did, but I watched it.  Anyway, he managed to install additional tools, which resulted in the printer being installed correctly.

  It's a pity that the site where I download the printer driver does not provide adequate instructions for how to do this.  I guess the solution is hiring a computer technician to do it for you.

• Canon printer LBP 810 instail in windows 7 operating system 64-bit

  free software canon printer LBP 810 instail in windows 7 operating system 64-bit

  Hello

  The only drivers on the site of Cannon for Windows 7 and Windows Vista are all the 32 bits that won't work on your 64-bit Windows computer.

  The printer was not displayed when I searched using Add printer in Control Panel-> devices and printers.

  If I were you, I would contact Canon directly for advice and if it's not compatible, consider buying a new printer. 3 third-party drivers can be an option, but there are always problems of quality and safety so, personally, I never use them.

• install a printer driver xp to a network printer connected to a windows PC 7

  Windows xp computer is a pentium 3.  64-bit version of Windows 7 is an I7 computer. the printer (epson stylus photo rx600) is usb connected to the computer, windows 7. router ethernet connected home network is set up, but have been unable to install driver epson windows xp 32-bit on windows 7 in the printer sharing, add the printer driver for other versions of the dialog windows.

  You can not install the 32-bit drivers on 64 bit systems. Share the printer in windows 7. Go to add a printer under XP and find the shared printer (select non-local network). Also make sure, both computers have the same workgroup name

  You may need to extract the first 32-bit printer drivers, then when it asks
  for pilots, it points to the folder created, point to the inf file. However NOT all printers support sharing. Even tho its got the sharing option
