switch the printer on the computer

Re HP8600 Pro

The Control Panel does not light and I can print only.  HP told me that it is a hardware problem which has not been addressed and was told to buy a new printer.  I know that it is possible to set the options of the Control Panel on the computer.  Can someone tell me how?  There has been no change in system, and I tried ALL of the suggestions that I could find.  I can't afford to buy a new printer, and it is less than two years.  Thank you for helping us to be a non-techie!  (I am not a student). ?

Hi mek0,

I'm going to assume you have Windows 7, here is a document for how Scan: Windows 7 with or without the HP software.

You can do the scanning and the fax from the Printer Wizard so it's an icon that looks like the printer on your desktop.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you

  • roar of hard disk and the computer freezes for a few seconds

    My hard drive makes a sound whirring for a few weeks now and when I type in emails or messages like this, the computer freezes for a few seconds. Any ideas how to fix this?

    A desktop computer. Your problem could be overheating.

    You must remove the side panel right and remove dirt dust bunnies fans. Also, make sure that all the fans are working. Safety switch the computer off and pull the power cable before removing the side panel. You can then move the computer backon and check that the fans are working.

    Then, turn off the computer and some time for that cool. It is best to use a wrist band, which you set on the casing of the computer to you the earth before touching anything inside the envelope. You can buy one in a store of computer accessories. Static electricity can damage a motherboard if you don't take precautions.

    Then, you use a small brush to remove the sheep of dust around the fan on the processor. I used an electric razor, cleaning brush. I use an Air blower to clean the power supply fan. An air Duster is also useful fopr cleaning keyboards.

    Removal of the dust bunnies should reduce the noise that makes your computer. It can also reduce overheating, which can lead to errors of Blue Screen of Death.

    Another way to check the hard disk to see if it is overheating is to use HD Tune 2.55 (free):

    Having a printer at the office and one at home, but use the same PC for both? Unable to print at home after bring you it to the office (and vice versa)?

    If you USB, most of the time, the PC will recognize what printer is which. Sometimes PORTS does not commute. You can manually change the correct ports if necessary.

    CLICK ON THE MENU START

    1 devices and printers

    2 right CLICK on the printer

    3. choose the PRINTER PROPERTIES

    4. click on PORTS

    5. There will be a list of ports with one (checked marked). If it's on the wrong port, change to the right pair and choose APPLY.

    (NOTE: it must ALWAYS be on a USB port or a wireless connection.) Some ports wireless start with a #(adresse IP) or a SERIAL number)

    I hope this helps. Sometimes, you can create your own port if you have more questions.

  • No communication between the printer and the Red computer on switch flashing printer does on every time I turn it off

  • My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

    My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

    I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

    As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

    When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

    In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

    At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

    Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

    Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

  • The computer date went before a day, switched back and now Firefox will not record history.

    Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

    TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

  • I have can´t scan in Officejet 6700. Printing from the computer works perfectly.

    I have a new 6700 Officejet connected with the USB cable to the computer. (Windows XP) Printing from the computer works perfectly. Sannen works onl + y from time to time. When the attempt at analysis, he says that there is no connection between the scanner and the computer. I changed the USB cable to exclude damage to the cables. I tried all the help files for HP without result. Who please can tell me what is happening

    I think I know where banhien is trying to guide you. I'll explain his instructions in more detail below.

    1. make sure you are on the desktop view.
    2. double-click on the icon on your desktop that resembles your printer.
    3. under the section titled scan, you should see "Manage Scan to Computer".
    4. click on "Manage the Scan to Computer" and a window that's going to Enable.
    5. click on activate to activate computer scanning.

    If the icon is not on the desktop, or does not work, you may uninstall and reinstall the printer. If you need to do this, be sure to use the latest version of the software following the link. Hope this helps to clear things up a bit.

  • HP PHOTOSMART 7520E: HOW TO CONNECT THE 75 HP PRINTER TO THE COMPUTER AND THE ROUTER

    Here's my problem.  My modem from my ISP did not work properly and they brought a new modem and set up.  It is obviously not properly configured, and when I go on the computer I have to use the arrow in the lower right of my computer to connect to the Internet.  I also connect my printer using this same low right arrow.  My Internet provider tried to fix this error on the phone but IT does IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.  I call today for an appointment for a tech to come to my house to fix this.  That's why I can't take back my electronic impressions with crossword games, etc., until it is properly fixed.  I would ask BEFORE the tech comes to my home to BRING A MODEM it IS WORKING CORRECTLY.  When I spoke this morning with my Internet provider, I learned that there are other people in my neighborhood by using the same network, that's why I'm having this problem.  I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THEY HAVE INSTALLED THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE MODEM.  I HAVE THEM ALSO SAID SINCE I WAS 'SHARING' A MODEM WITH MY NEIGHBORS, I'LL ASK FOR A DISCOUNT ON MY SERVICE AND OF COURSE, THAT HAS NOT RECEIVED POSITIVELY.   I'll post an update when this problem is solved by my Internet provider.

    Hi @janmoore

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you can not print. I would like to help.

    So that I can help you better, I have a few questions.

    What is the printer connected to the computer via a wireless network or via a USB cable?

    Did you run the HP print and Scan Doctor? (If not, give him a race)

    You receive a specific error message?

  • HP Officejet 4620: Printer is in"error" and will not print, even though the computer says that it is "connected".

    My printer recently started telling me it was in a State of 'error' and could not print my documents.  Sometimes I could turn off the printer market and all that was trying to print would then print, if documents or Quicken checks.  Now I can't print from the computer at all, or it will print checks from Quicken even if I turn the printer power off and power on.  The HP Web site indicates that it is connected.  It is the second computer from HP Officejet 4620 of the original that I bought.  The first has a problem that has been covered by the warranty, and this one doesn't seem to be much better.

    Hi @Janilynn,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your post and wanted to help.

    I understand that the printer does not print when the computer shows that it is connected.  Please run the print and scan the doctor.

    I would like to know if it solved the problem or gives you an error message.

  • I can't find the hp printing software to activate the scan of the computer for my hp6800 printer

    My printer is working, but I want to be able to scan. But I can not find my HP printer on my computer software - outside of "all apps" or in the "remove programs" Control Panel I scanned the C drive with 8600 and can't find it. Where could else be?

    I started using this computer two months ago, and the printer just worked. It is attached wireless. It appears in the devices and printers Control Panel.

    Can you give me the number of the FPU / product number located on the back of the printer, just around the serial number?

    Because we have 2 variants of 8600 and I want to give you the driver for your printer, do not want to make mistakes here.

    'More' Officejet 8600.

    Please update me as soon as POSSIBLE. about to go now.
