T400 Windows 7 64 bit can't find printer driver

Hi all

Maybe someone can help with this confusing problem. Just bought the T400 w/Win 7 64-bit on the Lenovo Web site. That's great, except for one thing.

I have a ThinkPad T22 of Win2k on the network with a port parallel printer HP laserjet 6L and a port USB HP DeskJet 970cxi. When I go to add a printer to the T400, Win7 search on the network and detects printers. For the 6 L have downloaded a driver and it works fine. For the 970cxi, he tries to find a driver MS website but can not find a driver.

When I connect the970cxi printer directly to a USB port on the T400 Win7 it finds a driver and it works fine. But not on the network? Even after he found a pilot when it was connected locally?

The network is a Linux Debian machine that can print on both printers. I turned on printer sharing on this topic. The T400 can find printers in the Linux box and print 6L and 970cxi.

I loaded VirtualBox on the T400 and then install Ubuntu Linux. The Ubunu Linux can find printers and print at the same time.

Nobody knows what the hell is going on here? Why the T400 can not find a driver for the 970cxi printer, but when it is connected directly that he finds the printer driver and works?

Is this a problem with Win7 64 bit?

No driver available?

Communication w/printer problem?

Buy a new printer and throw a printer perfectly well?

Thank you

Rich

I did as you suggested but now get a different error: 0 x 00000214

I googled this and found others with the same problem. I tried the solution and it worked!

Here is the link:

Problem network printer connection

In case the link is broken, I cut and pasted here:

1. click on start, click on Control Panel and double click on devices and printers.
2. click on add a printer.
3. Select "add a local printer.
4. Select create a new port ". Select "Local Port" as the port type.

5. in the "Enter a port name" box, type the address in the following format.

\\Network address host computer\ [the share name of the printer

And then click Next.

6. choose the driver in the list of drivers. If no driver available, click the Windows Update button, wait the process finishes and then search for the driver again.
7. complete the installation.

Thank you! Your suggection made me a mistake, that I could identify. And a solution. I hope others find this useful.

  • Windows 7 32 bit can not find the driver for printer Photosmart Premium C310a

    I recently had an update to the product directly on my printer Photosmart Premium C310a on Internet.  However, this then to Windows 7 (32 bit) to search for a driver for the printer but it could not find a.  If I click on devices and printers, it shows my device from the computer as requiring troubleshooting.  When I click on troubleshooting it signals that "Driver for Photosmart Prem 310 is not installed.  Install the latest version of the driver.  When I applied the fix, it indicates that the driver is not found.

    I tried to download the latest driver on the website of HP in various ways, finally to uninstall all HP software displayed in the Panel and then removing all the HP files remaining on my laptop.  I then ran PC Tools Registry Mechanic, disabled my anti-virus, restarted the computer software and reinstalled the complete C310a software on the HP site.  It ended without any problem, and after adding the printer to my list of printer, it is printed on a perfect test page.  However, Device Manager always reports the C310a driver is missing, but it cannot find a copy when it finds one.

    How can I convince the device manager that everything is going well (apparently)?

    apeace, I recommend you do as you did, uninstall the printer under programs and features but also by ensuring that this printer he is removed from the Manager of peripherals and devices and printers. Then after restarting the computer and by disabling the firewall, download the drivers and software for full adjustment and install them.

    You can also run this utility and see if that solves the problem automatically!

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I put in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x 64 to recognize during the installation. I tried the Intel Chipset drivers on the HP download site for my laptop. I also tried the x 64 drivers from the Intel website: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.

    I tried with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 does not recognize either.

    Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

    I understood why Windows 7 does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to install Windows 7 from a USB key. I burned the BONES on a dvd and booted on the dvd and he found the hard drive. It is trying to install Windows 7.

    Hi Emil

    I m wondering really why to install the 32-bit version if the 64-bit version is fully supported and you can find all necessary drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.
    As you probably know, 64-bit version would be better due to overall performance and RAM usage.

    Can you please tell us which GPU Intel is in your machine? I can't find the exact model name. It must be integrated Intel GPU with shared memory.

    Hello

    Specification of the reading for this Satellite specifications and I really wonder you want to install the operating system Windows XP Home edition on it. First of all this laptop is about 7 years old and I really do believe that the WXP can work well with this low hardware configuration.

    Secondly, this phone is not supported for Windows XP Home edition and because of that Toshiba has never offered drivers for this good old classic. If you can't find a driver on the manufacturer directly, I'm afraid there is not much to do.
