TouchSmart VA285AV-ABA: packard - other hardware, printer - print Null - HP Officejet Pro update

In windows, update this recommended update (Hewlett-Packard - other hardware, printer - print Null - HP Officejet Pro 8630) keeps trying to install and fails.  Everything started after I had to uninstall and reinstall the software for my HP 8630 because it did not work properly.  The printer works well so I'm not sure, this is a problem, but I try to keep all my software up to date.   Someone else has experienced this problem.

Hide, never update the drivers through Windows Update.

    How can I poster print using my officejet pro 8600plus? My 8500 had this feature.

    Yes, the Officejet 8500 driver works at full capacity on the Officejet 8600.

    You do not remove port 8600, you just right-click on the Officejet 8600, select properties from the Printer Ports and simply find what port the 8600 uses.  After writing this down, click Cancel to quit this game.  I suggest that you let the Officejet 8600 driver installed, you can install the version with the Officejet 8500 driver and simply select the printer you want to print time.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: Times New Roman fonts will print on HP Officejet Pro 8610

    My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 not print documents, spreadsheets or test pages to printer containing the font Times New Roman (of any size).  It does not have a job in the print queue.  In Excel, I get the error message "Generic_2_Q294552".

    My configuration: computer a HP Pavilion Elite NY809AV-ABA e9119t; running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1; HP Laserjet 5 L, HP 1310 PCS and HP D4360 all print do it very well.

    My new printer: HP Officejet Pro 8610, FDP1CN1502AR firmware revision, connected via a USB cable.  [Also connected via a cable to cable modem ethernet.]

    What I've done so far to help out the last 3 days: reinstalled printer (3 times), the most recent today with a published installer today. restarted the printer; restarted the computer after every significant change; updated the firmware in the printer; tried two different USB cables; tried to print fonts in Microsoft Word 7, Microsoft Excel 7 and directly from the font file; Reinstall the fonts Times New Roman of backup; visited the forums and tried all the solutions I have for any similar problem; tried the winprint, hpzppw71 and hpzpplhn print processors with RAW and NT EMF 1,008 formats data types; found and fixed all the problems I have found with all hardware and software, as well as to the latest updated version of the software.

    Finally, I seem to have problem solved for me.

    First of all, a few comments, just for the record:

    -in the affected user accounts, "Print Test Page" fails in the printer properties, but HP printer & Scanner doctor said that everything is okay, and printing test page without any problems

    -newly created user accouts working fine

    In the end, I recognized that my user accounts have a default TEMP variable: I redirect to the HARD drive to avoid piercing main SSD drive for temporary files. Setting permissions on this directory to the user everyone "Full control" (not only 'Edit'!) does the job: printer starts to print correctly. Phew!

    I hope that this helps you, Tom and others get this problem!

  • Cannot start the HP printing software (HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a)

    Hello

    When I double-click the icon of the HP software on my desktop behavior strange results. Nothing opens and my computer behaves erratically. After a while I get the following error messages:

    instancefinderdlg.exe

    werfault.exe

    Then after that - my computer restarts so all by himself. But not a complete reboot - it just goes back to the initial logon screen and I get my password from Windows and displays the desktop.

    I am running Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit). The printer is set to work wireless.

    After doubleclicking on the HP software icon and wait for the software to open, as I mentioned above, one thing I tried was a ctrl-alt-del and open Task Manager. I checked the services running, and there were multiple instances of a service life of HP (I not only remember the name but there seems to be dozens of the same HP service running).

    I also completely uninstalled all HP software use Revo Uninstaller and then reinstalled the software / driver for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910a - but this package did not make a difference; exactly the same problem occurred again.

    It happened only in recent days. Before that, I could double-click the HP software icon and open normally and I was able to check the settings, ink levels, etc. Interestingly, the printer seems to always work well - I can print in Word, print photos from Lightroom, etc. Just, I can't open my desktop HP printing software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi jedasa,

    I guess you can start to feel frustrated. I did some additional research and would like to try a few things. I want to delete the printer Assistant icon, open devices and printers, right-click on your printer and choose open. In the window that opens, please right-click on the Printer Wizard and click on create a shortcut. Now we can go to the desktop and see if it will be open from there. The icon will now by HP in a blue circle and say HP Printer Wizard below (see image below).  If it opens and works, we use this going forward, but if it does not continue with the steps below.

    1. Hold down the Windows Logo key ( ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    3. Unplug the USB cable (if connected), open programs and features, click Editor (all HP software will be together now) and uninstall all software associated with the printer. You fill find the basic driver, study for improvement of the product, HP Officejet 8500 help. Be sure to do not uninstall other HP software, especially if your computer is a HP computer. I generally use the date as a reference. Printing software would have all been installed on the same date.
    4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
  • duplex unit is no longer an option in the print screen - hp officejet pro 8100

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 that came with a duplexer. Until today, the duplexer has worked. Technically, I don't know that it does not work. But when I open the print screen in open office, adobe or any other program, it is no longer gives me the option to print double-sided. I have no idea what to do and there are no tutorials that explain how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

    Discovered after trying to reinstall the printer software that because my updated OS updated to 8.1 of Windows 7, my printer is no longer compatible with my computer. Is - this ridiculous or what? I have messaged HP, so I have no guarantee so I don't know that they will refuse any product support. It's okay, if need be I will take my business elsewhere. I would not have to pay for support on a product that they have outdated on purpose. Companies used to be a quality product. Oh how times have changed. It is an expensive paper weight.

    @KKissmann, welcome to the community of HP

    I read your post and I would try to help. Your Officejet Pro 8100 is compatible with Windows 8.1, so we should be able to get through this problem. Maybe you've tried running the installation from the CD, which is perhaps not a Windows 8.1 driver loaded, what can happen and you need to download the driver online instead. We will eventually get there

    Please click here to access the full functionality of driver and software for Windows 8.1:

    Driver and complete software of HP Officejet Pro features

    Once the download is complete, run through the installation until it is completely finished. Subsequently, test print and check if you have the option to print double-sided.

    Let me know if you encounter any problems!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Print borderless with Officejet Pro 8620

    Hello

    I recently bought a hp OfficeJet Pro 8620 and I'm testing now a few important functions for my business. One of them is printing without margins of leaflets in A4 format. But the problem is: even if I chose "A4 borderless" paper size and "photo paper" like paper it always prints a white border around entire page--so he is not chosen in the menu borderless printing. The flyers that I want to print all pdf format and print them with a program called "document viewer", but using another program for printing without margins such as gimp makes no difference!

    By the way: I'm (Lubuntu 16.04) Linux as an operating system, the printer is connected via usb and the driver that I use is "HP Officejet Pro 8620, hpcups 3.16.3.

    Please help me to find a solution to this huge problem, because printing flyers for my small business is one of the most important reasons I bought this printer for and I urgently need print flyers (without borders) for the weekend too.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello everyone,

    It's me again. Yesterday, I solved the "problem".  The problem is that the image of the pdf file that I wanted to print without borders had the size 210 x 297 mm (A4), but I had to larger scale to 214.5 x 300 mm, 9 mm up to what he had the correct size for printing without margins (A4).

    Unfortunately, these strange dimensions does not exactly appear in the dialog box size media in settings print HP Tools program but rather to the dialogue of the PDF Viewer, if you select the paper type and paper size. I do not understand this, but I finally works, and that's all I wanted. In any case thanks for trying to help me!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: Printing on HP Officejet Pro 8610 doesn't give any form printing

    Hello

    I'm trying to help a client to their printing problems.

    They have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation install, they are trying to print from. The printer appears to have been installed properly and had been using the steps described in this article: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03351547

    The issue, is that even when to print a test page, the page of the coils in the window "See what's printing" and disappears, as if she had been sent to the printer. No page out of the printer.

    I restarted the server several times.

    I can ping the IP address of the printer, and I can also access the page via Chrome.

    The Officejet works with their computer Windows 7, which are on the same network.

  • OfficeJet Pro 6830: MacBook Pro does not print wirelessly for Officejet Pro 6830

    I used to have an old HP Officejet 7210 who was once able to print wirelessly from my MacBook pro, but at some point, wasn't able to do wireless and had to print with usb connection.

    For Black Friday, we bought an Officejet Pro 6830 and on internet I downloaded the latest driver for my MacBook Pro and my windows laptop of wifes and our desktop PC. The mobile office and windows had no problem, but once more, I was not able to print wireless from the MacBook Pro. When I try to print wireless the printer dialogue indicates he's trying to deal with and then it says "the printer is currently in use". So I'll still have to plug the USB to print with this new printer is less than a month.

    I was able to print the wireless test page and he noted that the test page bypassed print drivers. In addition, I am able to go into the printer utilities and see how much ink, I have and the various settings of the printer but I just cannot print documents from applications wireless.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Want to b/w standard printing only - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Plus.

    Only - want b & w HP Officejet Pro 8500 more.

    I wonder how to enable this machine to use the black and white ALWAYS mm cartridge.

    I heard that the printer can use color cartridges even if I print in black only. I want to save color to photo print cartridges only.

    How can I ensure this? I can't find all the settings in the printer display saying "use black and white printing.

    And if there is a setting somewere therefor; which "desides" setting - if I have after setting b/w printing standard, chosen color in print for a photo windows? I need never color printing except if I print a photo.

    I also wonder if there is a way around the situation when a color is empty, and print black and white ends...! ?

    Help appreciated!

    You ask the most difficult

    It depends on what you are printing. I don't think that any printer uses much (if any) color with shades of gray.

    However, if tell you him to use black and white only (generally an option after clicking on the checkbox in grayscale), it will not print anything but black. The bad thing about this is that sometimes you can lose part of what you print if there are photos or font color in what you want to print. Anything that is not considered by the application as a true black could not appear in print.

    It could work well, if you're careful, but you may sometimes have something missing in the printout.

  • Problems printing on HP Officejet Pro 8600

    My printer prints not of any of my devices.  I have a wireless set up.  I ran through all the options on the HP site and nothing works.  When I try to print the jobs line up in the print queue but nothing happens.  I don't get the error messages.  I noticed that the print preview is blank.  But I hit the "print" key again and another job is listed in the queue, anyway... nothing happens.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    Hey @Beth45 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are having problems with your OfficeJet Pro 8600 do not print.

    Could you please tell me the devices on which you want to print and the operating systems installed?

    To check the network communication with the printer. On the front panel of the printer, you should see an icon at the top of the ((deuxieme touch screen wireless left) that looks like this:

    After pressing this button, you should see an IP address. (for example, 192.168.1.23) Write down this number and enter it in the address bar of a web browser (for example Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) and tell me if the printers (EWS) page load. If the page does not load there is no network communication.

    If the page is loading or not, try powercycling your network. Turn the printer off and unplug the power to your router. Wait at least 45 seconds, and then plug the router back in. Wait 1-2 minutes so he can get online, and then turn on the printer.

    Test the printer after that. If it still does not re - run the program installation wireless. To run the configuration, press the button shown in the picture above wireless, and then tap Settings. In settings, you should see wireless configuration wizard. Follow the steps to reconnect the printer, and then try a test print.

    I would like to know if any of this helps.
