strange name in the hp Solution Center

When I open the no hp Solution Center only have the officejet 7680 operational and unregistered, but shows another device.

the name of this device which does not exist is $friendlyprinter$.

I am running vista.

How can I remove the $ $friendlyprinter?

Thank you

Jim

Ok. In the registry, navigate to HKLM > software > Hewlett-Packard > Digital Imaging > HP Officejet L7600 Series and you should find 2 inputs with 10-digit numeric name. When you click on it, you will find the correct details on the printer to one of them (such as the serial number) and no useful information for the other. You must delete that has no useful info. until you delete it, make sure you do a right click on it and click on export to perform a backup of it.

Once that is done, open the solution center again. The entry of $ $FriendlyName does not appear anymore. Let me know how it goes.

    PinkCloud,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    You must install the full features software for your printer: Printer Wizard (the new name for the Solution Center) is installed as part of the installation of the printer software.

    General instructions to install the printer software

    • Open drivers HP & downloads
    • Enter your printer model information
    • Select your printer in the list of the 'results '.

    OR

    • Enter your operating system from the menu drop-down
    • Click NEXT and scroll down
    • Find the category driver - software product installation
    • Select the base driver, e-print, or a full features software
    • Save the *.exe installation package (s) on your computer

    The files will probably save in the "folder"downloads. "

    If it is available, you can download print and scan doctor and / or other programs of the category-utilities

    TIP:

    Install the utilities / tools first. bit installation packages are smaller in size

    • If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click" to install it, otherwise just right-click, select run as administrator and install.

    NOTES:

    •         Look at the bottom half of the main Web page for your printer for helpful videos help with the installation of the printer software!
    •         Scroll through the list of videos back until you find the video that best fits your situation.
    • Connection USB: download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    • Ethernet: connect the printer to the network and (optional) assign the printer IP address to the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, make sure that the printer is on, and then install the printer software.
    • Once the initial installation is complete and functional, check / install category - updated

    There is valuable information about the Web site, including Manual, pages How-to's , Troubleshooting and SOLUTIONS section and alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take a comprehensive look at what's available.  To bookmark the page.

  • Suddenly won't scan hp 8600 function, and the hp Solution Center does not connect?

    I have been regularly using scanning, copying and printing to my HP 8600 printer features 4/1. All of a sudden when I click on the printer icon only functions of the printer are listed. When I click on the HP Solutions Center (which I have not had to do was s/u w / a previous printer) the message says: HP Solution Center cannot run b/c your device installation is not complete. PLS, connect the cable usb or re - run the Setup program from the installation to a network installation CD. If this does not work...

    I insert the CD, re-directed the s/u and nothing has changed. Please notify.

    HP 4/1 8600

    Windows 7

    I see that you have had previous HP products, Katharine. I'm glad to know that you have the software installed for the 8600 with success now.

    However, the center of Solution software you used with the previous units is more used to the 8600. The software installed for the 8600 should have placed an icon that resembles the printer with the name of the printer it labeling on your desktop. This icon opens the wizard of HP printer with options to control the printer.

    Good impression!

  • Problem with the HP Solution Center

    Hardware: ASUS Eee PC laptop

    Photosmart C410a Prem (All in One)

    OS: Windows 7

    32 bit

    This morning, the HP Solution Center worked perfectly.  This afternoon, opened it to scan and instead of the name of the printer, the following appeared $FriendlyName$

    Could not repair, so uninstalled printer and all the drivers, software, etc.

    Installed the printer with the 'full installation' who says he understands the solution Center.  Connect printer, scanner works, but there is no access to the scan function of the computer without the Solution Center.  To print using print files.  Solution Center does not appear in the programs anywhere.

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

    SThomas826, I would like firstly to uninstall the printer from the computer entirely. First unplug the USB cord (if one is used). Then make sure that all related files or programs are completely deleted or removed from programs and features, devices and printers and Device Manager. Then, restart the computer.

    Do not connect the USB cable until the software asks.

    Then go to http://goo.gl/y346H and find your appropriate drivers and software for your particular printer model. They are all available as free downloads. You will want to use the "Full Feature" of the software version.

    I would like to know how it goes!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 All in one – disappear from the HP Solution Center guard

    Background:

    I have two HP all-in-one devices, at the office of one while a 8500 A909a and at home and Officejet 7310 all in one.

    My Dell laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit.

    I had the laptops and printers for several years, the two were connected through connectiosn fine wired via routers with printing/scanning also up and running by the HP Solution Center.

    If I work in the office and he wanted to scan a document I woul open Solution Center and left two printers would come to the top. I could click on the installed 8500 in the office and it worked fine. Even if I was at home I opened Solution Center, click the 7310 and could very well sweep.

    Problem:

    In recent weeks the 8500 keeps disappearing from the HP Solution Center. He still appears in Control Panel and other applictaiosn of windows like Word and I can print again, BUT not is more visible in the solution Center.

    I load the installation of the driver software (recently downloaded from the website of HP, file name OJP8500vA909_Full_14 (1)) and charging/install the 8500. It takes about 20 minutes to make. The 8500 appears then, but with a suffix like Officejet 8500 (7) after him in the solution Center.

    I can scan then very well but the next day when I start and get to the center of the Solution, it has disappeared again. It's infuriating and wastes a lot of time.

    Please tell us what can I do to load the correct software once and for all for allowing me to use two printers without them disappearing from the solution Center.

    Thanks in advance.

  • HP6830 unrecognized in the HP Solution Center

    I have an HP6500 E709n connected wireless systems VISTS/XP/W7 and it appears in the HP Solution Center. I just installed a HP6830 and it is connected wireless systems XP/VISTA/W7, and I am able to print to the HP6830 of these systems. However, the HP6830 does not appear in the center of HP solutions like my previous installed hp6310 did.  I would like to see the HP6830 in the HP Solution Center (or perhaps an updated version of this product) so that I can assess the condition of all of my printers from any system on the network.

    I tried to reboot the system after installing the HP6830 software from a CD, but the HP Solution Center software does not always detect see / the HP6830.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hello

    The HP Solution Center software is not affiliated in any way with the Officejet Pro 6830 and cannot detect the device of this model.

    To access the software HP printer Assistant which applies to your new printer, click the HP Officejet Pro 6830 icon on your desktop or in the Start Menu HP folder.

    Hey @HoopsHopes ,

    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.

    I'm gathering that you have problems with your HP Solution Center and seek advice before uninstall/reinstall.

    My advice would be... to do a uninstall and reinstall. This you will get the updated version and save you to address the problem that you are experiencing. If you need help to uninstall it and reinstall, let me know.

    Can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • All-in - one Photosmart C8180: I'm unable to use the HP Solution Center to scan a document into the computer.

    I downloaded the updated driver that is located on the HP site for this printer. I uninstalled and installed this driver three times. I keep getting an error message when I use the HP Solution Center to scan a document to a PDF file. I restarted the program, rebooted the computer and reinstalled the software, as had been suggested in the error message.  I'm losing my patience! Anyone have any ideas as to the cause and the solution to this problem?

  • Why the HP Solution Center will not find the printer and then closing?

    I reinstalled the HP Solution Center Suite software for my Officejet Pro L7590 (all-in-one) on my wife's computer and was able to print but the solution center not working anymore.  Then, I connected the printer to the network and the driver/software installed on my computer.  I am able to print as well, but when I open the Solution Center it says "Products HP undetected" and then closes.  I have Windows XP Pro on two computers and before that I did a reinstall of the software on my wife's computer, everything worked well.  Where should I go from here?

    Thanks for the Document of all possible solutions.  What I found was the "Digital Imaging Monitor" wasn't not and by going to the directory C:\Program Files\HP\Document Imaging\Bin and find the run file hpqtra08.exe, clicking on that and pressing the key ENTRY, the digital imaging monitor started and the icon popped up in the projection of bar good lower program that it is running.  Once who was running, I was able to open the HP Solution Center to my scanner, etc.

    The only problem I had was when I restarted my computer, the Document Imaging Monitor does not open and the icon show up in the lower right of the bar program.  So this time I went in the directory C:\Program HP Imaging\Bin, click once on the file hpqtra08.exe , then created and right click a shortcut icon on my desktop for this run.  Now, whenever I need to use the HP Solution Center I double-click on the icon that I created that starts the digital imaging monitor and then I am able to open the HP Solution Center.

    Of course, there is a defect in the installation but I reinstalled the program 3 times without success so I'll stick with manually from the digital imaging monitor, because I know it works.
