There is no Windows 7 driver for my HP printer

Original title: cannot remove unspecified device

There is no Windows 7 driver for my printer, because it's an older printer (about 5 years I think) so I had to use another driver provided by HP that I could print correctly.  Problem is that the printer appears under devices not specified.  I removed the device in Device Manager, but it still appears under devices not specified.  When you right click, you don't have the ability to remove the instrument or run it as an administrator.

If anyone knows how to remove the device, please let me know.  Thank you!

    Is there a Windows 7 driver for the video capture card TV Tuner HP P/N 5188-7344?

    Hello Thirdsmith, I read on another Forum that the Member had the same card that was in his system, the same model as your number and it installed in another system with Windows 7 x 64, went on the Windows Update site and the device was found and drivers downloaded and installed for the Asus NT SC/ATSC TV card.

    I can't check this, since I have no personal experience with this TV card.

    Please join Microsoft Community where you can find the necessary information on Microsoft products!

    You can not install Vista Service pack 2 and get the error with code 800f0a09 and the message that there are problems with the driver for dell latitude.

    The problem may occur if some of the components of the update are corrupt.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to check if the problem is with the update components:

    Method 1: Reset the update components

  • Windows 7 driver for Canon BJC 210 inkjet printer

    I need a Windows 7 driver for my Canon Bubble Jet BJC - 210 printer.

    Does anyone know how to get a printer driver for my old inkjet Canon BJC-210 printer.  When I bought in the late 1990s a driver disc wassupplied with a driver for Windows 3.1, and he continued working when I upgraded to a laptop running Windows XP.

    Now have a new laptop with Windows 7 loaded and Microsoft no longer supports the driver.
    Does anyone have an idea.  The printer is a nice, small, just to feel and I was always happy with it and I have lots of spare ink.
    It would be a shame to have to throw away sust in the interest of a printer driver.

    1990? If the drive was origonally to the win3 its will not work under win7. The printer is not compatible with win7.

    If you have win7 Pro or Ultimate installed there are some options, which can be complicated to impliment.

  • Help, please... I need Windows XP driver for my CQ40-121TU

    Help, please... I need Windows XP driver for my CQ40-121TU

    Please send me a full links to the driver for CQ40-121TU thank you very much...

    Your computer came with XP? If your computer came with VISTA and was never made for XP, so no XP drivers will be available for the system. I looked at the HP site and could not find XP drivers, which probably means that it is a model of Vista, not XP. If it came with XP then call HP and they will be able to send you a XP disc for a small fee, like $15 or more.

    Need a (free) compatible with Windows 7 driver for Lexmark Z13

    Hi nikua,

    According to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center https://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Lexmark%20Z13%20Inkjet%20Printer&v=Lexmark&uid=16000&pf=3&pi=0&c=Printers%20%26%20Scanners&sc=Ink-Jet%20Printers&os=32-bit the Lexmark Z13 is 'compatible' with Windows 7 therefore the default drivers should be sufficient.

    Of course this model is no longer available for Lexmark won't provide drivers for Windows 7. If you can't get your printer to work then maybe it's time to think about buying a new.

  • 8.1 Win driver for my MX870 printer

    Just got a new Dell with Windows 8.1. When I plugged my MX870, Windows has installed a driver. The driver for printing looks similar to the original driver Canon I had 2-3 years and installed on my old Dell with Vista.

    But I do not see a Canon driver for scanning with the MX870. I don't see the applet Windows Fax and Scanner lame, but which is really lame.

    I see that the web page of Canon has a Windows 8 driver for the printer. So, always cautious about installing anything - I guess I should uninstall the installed driver Windows 8.1, then install the driver on the website of Canon?

    If so, should I install the driver with the printer NOT connected to the computer?

    Thank you

    Joe

    1. check that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop is correct and if this isn't the case, please click on the drop down menu to select your operating system.

    2. then, click the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click on the drivers of MP file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click the box below the button DOWNLOAD, and then click DOWNLOAD to start the download. The time for the download process can vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.

    Once you have downloaded the MP drivers file, please follow the steps above to download also the rest of the printer software, except in step 2, you can click the red arrow next to the word SOFTWARE to view and download the software.
