• the printer port does not recognize hasp key

  I recently bought a Dell rebuilt to replace a running xp sp3 which had overheating problems with windows xp sp3.  I am running a previous software (7.5V2 friendly technology FlexiSign Pro) program that requires a hasp on a parallel port key.  I never had problems with the old computer recognizing the hasp key, but when I try to use this software on the new computer does not recognize the HASP.  I think what may be due to the fact that my new computer printer port is configured as instead of the lpt port ecp.  Is it possible that this could be my problem and I can change the port of older style? Any guidance is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Greg

  If the problem really is whether the parallel port in ECP mode, you can switch to EPP mode in the BIOS.  Restart the computer and keep a close eye at the beginning of the boot sequence for the message that tells you what key to press to enter the BIOS (change system settings or similar).  Restart again and press the key when the message is displayed.  You will have only a few seconds.

• Impossible to see or set the printer ports for printer Lexmark Z35 with Vista

  I've been using a printer Lexmark Z35 with Vista Home Premium and then it stopped working.  When I go to the control panel of configuration/printers look at the properties of a printer (even PDF printer), when I click on the Ports tab, nothing happens, it just hangs.  I left alone for 45 minutes and it is still stuck.   I searched online but could not find anything on this.

  Uninstall and reinstall the printer.

  See:

  Add or remove a printer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-or-remove-a-printer

  Then, download and install the latest vista drivers for the Lexmark support site.

  The modem uses a virtual com port. It s not a real port.
  I wonder why it usually happens after the installation of the new operating system, you must install drivers Toshiba together in the right order
  Installing the chipset utility is important

  The modem driver should do the work and you n t need to activate com ports
  Please choose the right side of the page of the Toshiba driver modem driver after installing the OS correctly. I think that's the key

• LaserJet 4000 TN: The printer HP Laserjet 4000 Series PCL5: error state & quot; message & quot;

  I sent the following message to Microsoft after a ' update:

  I have a printer HP Laserjet 4000 Series PCL5 TN which worked beautifully "black only" for many years. A recent update (Windows 10:12 / 22/15) seemed to put the printer in the "printer error state", when you try to print a simple document. It has been my default printer for a long time. I followed the suggestions of printer "windows 10", that is, unplug and plug - check cable (not USB) connections, remove the printer from the list of print devices /, reinstall drivers HP for Windows 10 (following suggestions from HP on HP site) - nothing seems to work. It has a network cable connection, but it is directly connected to my computer, no other computers are connected. See screen capture below. I even did a "recovery" of before 12/22! Any suggestions? Thank you. GM

  I received instructions from Microsoft:

  You run the printer Troubleshooter and identify the cause?

  If this isn't the case, we will do that by visiting the link below and see if it helps.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/fix-printer-problems

  Check also the update (KB number) has recently been installed on your computer.

  You can also restore printer drivers and check.

  To restore the driver, you can follow the steps below:

  • Press Windows + R on the desktop screen.
  • Type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
  • Expand the printer drivers and do a right-click on the driver and select Properties.
  • Go to the driver tab and click driver RollBack.

  Can I assume that you use a parallel cable to connect the printer to the computer.  If you do this is a known problem that can be solved.  Go to Device Manager and then click ports.  Double-click the lpt for the printer port, and then click on device settings at the top.  Change the default setting of the middle box checked in the box below to use any available interruption. I would also check the legacy down.  If necessary, turn the computer off and then turn it back on, but most of the time this solves the problem without a reboot.

• Is no longer able to print on a network HP 6310 printer - printing error (works fine, now the printing error returns)

  Was printing fine, no problem, then had problem with printer HP 6310 showing as offline while he was online
  Fix this problem by unchecking the box SMTP on the printer port.
  Now shows that it is printing, but after a minute or so, it returns an error ("error printing")

  Interesting, when I try to cancel the document does not print, I have to click Cancel to remove the document - the first time I get a "send error" - the second time, the document disappears.

  • I am running Vista home Premium (64 bit) on computer laptop Dell Studio 15, updated with Service Pack 1.  This error has occurred even after a cold reboot.

  It worked very well - I think that the original problem (printer showing as offline) happened after a hibernation, but problem now Vista think it's printing (after turning off SMTP setting on the printer port), but it's not.

  Hello Ibusby2000,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  I suggest to go to the manufactures website and download the latest drivers and or updates.  You can also remove the printer and add it again.

• Print jobs may not reach the printer

  I have a machine in which everything was working fine until he was not part of the domain. Since it was added to the field, he has stopped printing.

  If a draw is sent, he goes to Quebec, she disappears, but does not reach the printer. It shows the same problem even with the local administrator account.

  It is a network printer and works great for other users.

  Printer driver has been updated.

  Spooler service works very well

  No errors in the event logs.

  This paragraph is confusing.  The computer is now connected to a domain or not?

  I have a machine in which everything was working fine until he was not part of the domain. Since it was added to the field, he has stopped printing.

  The problem you describe appears if the printer port is not directed to the correct address.  This often happens with wireless printers, but if your computer is connected to a domain, you should ask your network administrator for assistance.

• Files to send to the printer remains in the print queue

  My printer Brother HL-5470DW many years and has worked well as recently as a couple of days. Now start yesterday, everything I send to it (I've tried so far to print from Word, Notepad and Adobe Reader) just sits there in the print queue. (Also, I hear no sound, as if no communication to the printer took place; "I think that I do not usually such a sound, as if the printer wakes just.)

  It has always been possible to click Cancel for work out of the queue (which is what I do to ensure that each test is not blocked by the one who joined the queue before him). But by clicking on restart has not led to a change. No sound. Nothing, as if I had not clicked on it at all.

  I restarted the computer and that did not help. By turning the printer off and on again did not help either. The other printer on my network works, so the problem is specific to this printer. This printer is networked, too, but the network seems to recognize since, when I pull the ethernet cord our back, my computer seems to usually two tones you hear when you unplug a USB device as an external drive, and you hear the other standard two-tone when you plug the power cord back in - even ethernet once the same two-tone means when you plug a USB device.

  Troubleshooting Windows app recognizes a problem, presenting little yellow triangle used with an exclamation mark inside), but can't find anything wrong, despite the announcement of a great many things he checked with the result "there is no Question."

  This must be a common problem? But I have found no solution so far.

  I also opened a trouble with the brother society report on this subject, but they have not responded.

  Thanks for your help.

  I suddenly remembered that I have an account with Geek Squad which entitles to support me on their part so I called them, and the problem is now resolved. As a public service to anyone who is interested, I will present a report which re-start the computer, turning the printer then next turn, and re - installing the printer driver did not help (even if by turning the printer and turn it back on (that is, unplug and plug again at least there the message in the window of the printer to 'Pause' in 'Ready').)

  After these changes, we have reached at least point jobs were sent to the printer (they were no longer in the print queue), but when they got to the printer the results was simply that 'Data' and 'Error' lights came.

  Finally, something else has been tried: taking the paper out of the feeder and everything put back in. There is no reason that I see why this would work, but now all of a sudden he made. He had been without paper jams in this printer for months and months so that should have nothing to do with it!

  Although I don't see the connection, the tech support guy said that it had to do with the configuration of the printer port. And that fits at least with the fact that it is a new computer. According to that is the fact that - once we have solved the problem on this new computer - the old computer could no longer print: actually there now have exactly the same problem the new computer was seen: files sent to the printer simply remain in the print queue.

  If someone saw to offer as to how something so strange by removing the paper and put it back could solve that problem, I would like to know about it. Is there a way that this incident can be changed to a question in a discussion?

  Can anyone enlighten me as to what type of configuration of ports is involved and how you achieved it?

• Connection to the printer driver problem

  I am trying to connect to the printer (hp business inkjet1100) that is connected to a computer running xp (sp3 pro) to my computer laptop under vista (home prem x 64). That just seems confused reading this way: (printer) >>>(xp/desktop)<(vista aptop).="" i="" already="" have="" a="" network="" set="" up="" and="" can="" share="" file="" with="" no="" problems,="" so="" i="" thought="" it'd="" be="" easy="" to="" connect="" to="" this="" printer.="" i="" was="">

  I try to connect to the printer by going to control panel > printers > add printer > network printer > the printer name after what in fact share on the xp computer (the name displayed on the computer to vista so there no problem). While vista has attempted to connect to the printer (bless his heart), but had a problem (no surprise), he couldn't find a driver and asked me to manually find the .inf file. No problem, just download the driver for the hp site, right? Evil.

  Apparently there is no driver for my printer for windows vista, however there is a solution. You can use the drivers for the printer series 1000 and basic functions should work (I hope it includes printing). The problem is that workaround tells me to manually configure the printer (port, pilot, etc.), then reconnect the printer to the computer (the problem is the printer is not connected to the computer in the first place).

  Now I consider myself fairly well with the computer and fix most of the problems without help (and unfortunatlly end up helping a lot of family with their problems), but it's just annoying. I decided that it's time to call in the experts (from India).

  I choose the live chat, because it always seems faster and I haven't had one that had playing music while I'm waiting (some may consider something positive). The problem is that I need to find my serial number and product number. I copy down the 2 easily labled numbers, but that is not good combonation. So, I searched for 'find the product number', and I get a page just like what I get (finally some lucky). After clicking on printers, I get to a page called "find the name of your product." At this point, I give up on the hp site and just write down every number on the back of the printer. Finally the stars aligned and I can start to chat with someone. A couple of auto messages pop up and then he asked me to confirm the information, I'm just entered (if she was wrong how do I live chat?), then continues to inform me that my warranty has expired and it will be $ 25 for support. I ask him if there is any other type of support, and he says that the best he can do (probono) is to give me a link to a Web page on the site of hp (I've been there believe it or not), I thank him for his time and move. I hope that the expired warranty matter here (but if it ignores just this part that was a total lie just to see if you would really help a guy without a guarantee (to test if you were really good people or just simply...))

  Thanks in advance for your time

  Laptop: AMD, Vista home prem 64 bit

  The following has worked for me, allowing me to manually select the driver

  Another method 1. 1. click on the Windows icon > Search > printers Type and press ENTER. 2. click on 'add printer '. 3. click on "add a local printer. 4. click on ' create a new port:'. 5. do not change the "port Type:'." By default, it is selected as "Local Port". Let it remain the same. 6. click on "Next".

  7. in the small ' Port name: "window, type the following command under" enter a port name:'

  NOTE: Names must be exactly the same. They are case-sensitive.

   

  \\computer name\printer name

  For example: If the computer name is 'John' and the printer name is "HPprinter", you must type the exact name with all characters, including spaces.

  This is why in this case it would be the following:

  \\John\HPprinter

  8. click on OK.  9. click Next and complete the wizard. (It will now install the printer and driver) I used the driver of the 7400 series for my 7550 but it works.10. Try to print a Windows test page and check the functionality of the printer. 1 click on the start icon on your control Desktop.2.Select Panel.3.Double, click on the printer icon.4.Select and right click on the printer HP Photosmart 7550 series icon.5.Click on properties.

  6. in the Properties window, click on Print Test Page tab it starts printing a Page of Test Windows
