try to use the old printer using usb/parallel converter cable

trying to connect printer to computer hp 940c hp laptop pavilion via a USB cable conversion... windows vista

Hi Doug,

The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I appreciate if you could help me with more information.

1. What is the exact problem you are facing the computer?

2 do you have problems with the use of 940c on the Windows Vista computer HP printers?

3. do you get an error message/code?

For your reference:

  • The HP Solutions recognizes the photosmart just the old printer

    Hello

    Does anyone know why the solution Center recognizes that the old printer and not the Photosmart wireless?

    Thanks for any help, I'm new on this.

    Hello

    Try running the latest installer file and select the option 'add a device '. Once the process is complete, your printer should appear in the center of Solution once it's done.

    By the way, is the type of USB connection or wireless?

  • I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

    I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

    Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

    Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

    For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

    (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

    (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

    (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

    (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

    If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

  • With LabVIEW how to control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a USB RS232 converter cable.

    With LabVIEW how to control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a USB RS232 converter cable, since I do not have rs232 ports. I have two instruments I want for the control in this way. One is a guarantee of strength Imada SPAS with RS232 output. The other is a micrometer Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser sensor which is RS422. I have done significant programming LabVIEW using GPIB, but I have no experience with devices such as these. No matter what tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    When you plug the USB-RS-232 converter, it installs a driver under Windows which makes it look like any other RS-232 port.  You may need to install the driver of everything that came on the CD with the converter.  It will get a Com as Com5 port number according to what is the next available number.

  • Records of e-mail transfer using USB data transfer cable?

    I am trying to transfer some files I've done (original line or match purchases I had to record, etc. etc) in Windows Live Mail on my XP PC, on my Vista PC, I have the same version of Windows Live Mail on both PCs, but in Live Mail options (as opposed to the way it was in Outlook Express) You can import MAIL, but not the files, is there a way to transfer records I did and send them to my Windows Live Mail Vista from my old PC, so I can get those records as I did on the old PC?

    I have a USB data transfer cable, I also DISH internet so it limits the bandwidth and after all the Windows updates I did in Vista this month, I'm at my limit of data for the month, so I prefer to use the easy transfer cable, if possible, so how do I get records user performed off Live Mail of 1 PC the other PC and in Live Mail on this one?

  • Fresh paint crashes when I try to access the old paint in my Gallery.

    Hello

    I like the fresh paint, but when I try to access the ancient paintings from the gallery it crashes.

    is there a way I can save my old paintings. where they are saved on the hard drive.

    I have a Wacom cintq Companion.

    Thank you

    Steve Roberts.

    Hi Steve,.

    Fresh paint automatically saves your current paintings automatically every five minutes, whenever you come back to the homepage offresh paint , and whenever you pass the fresh paint to another program or app. You can also export a table to a PNG file. It is enough to click on theexport button and choose a location to save the painting. I suggest you to consult the following Microsoft community link and check if it helps.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-Winapps/fresh-paint-FAQ/552a7366-fbd2-4b19-a4b8-4021453a4835

    Usually, the fresh paint paintings are saved in the location "C:\Program Files-Windows App\", it will be hidden. Before you begin the search for the paintings, make sure that you have enabled hidden files in the view bar in Windows Explorer.

    I suggest you try the steps in the following article from Microsoft Help to solve problems that you are having with fresh paint application and check if the problem persists.

  • I replaced my printer, but in the meantime an automated program sends print jobs to the old printer, I need reasign these jobs to print on the printer. __

    I want reasign the print jobs to the printer and print documents because the documents are no longer available due to the automated process.

    Hello Fishinmad02,

    Thank you for your message.  Check-post of the thread located HEREDaniel.

    Is it possible to move or copy a print job to a different printer?  My problem is I printer a few documents on the web to a printer that has been disconnected (not plugged into my USB port).  Is it possible to move or copy print jobs to another printer that I have on my system?

    I have not found a way to do it directly.  However, I found a work around that worked for me in my situation.  I went to the print queue, go to the tab printer, then properties, then the Ports... I've temporarily changed the port to point to the IP address of another printer (by changing the checkbox).  After printing the queue, I just put the IP and port back.  My two printers were of the same type, so I don't know if it would work with different printers.
