Unable to install a printer HP Photosmart 2520 on Windows 8.1?

Original title: HP Photosmart Windows 8.1-compatible?

A HP Photosmart 2520 is compatible with Windows 8? I have the disc but it will not be installed. The printer is not compatible?

Hi Loretta,.

Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to know that you can not install a printer on Windows 8 HP. What happens when you try to install a printer? You get the error message?

You can go to the Windows Compatibility Center to check if the printer is compatible with Windows or not.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/home

However when I look up in the HP website the same printer HP Photosmart 2520 is not there in the list.

Not supported in Windows 8 HP printers:

Could not get information about HP Photosmart 2520 to the HP Web site. What is the correct HP printer model number?

Here is a link on how to install a printer and see if it is installed or not.

If the printer is not compatible with Windows 8.1, try to install the printer in compatibility mode.

Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

I hope this helps to solve the issue. If the problem persists, get back to us. We will be happy to help you.

    However, a printer driver compatible for your product is provided with the Windows 7 operating system. There is no need to download any additional software.
    Follow the steps in this document to identify the product-compatible printer driver, install the driver and then set it up in Windows 7. When this driver is installed, you can use the basic functions of the product. »

  • I'm unable to install the printer driver for HP OfficeJet G55xi

    I am trying to install the printer driver for HP OfficeJet G55xi.

    When I went to the HP site, it said to install Windows 7 operating system printer driver, by plugging the printer on my Windows 7 computer using a USB cable.  I did, but it was not installed.

    I also need to install the HP Director software.

    I had a computer technician to connect remotely to my computer to install the printer.  He had to install additional tools that are available on the same site where I tried to install the printer driver.  I don't know how he did, but I watched it.  Anyway, he managed to install additional tools, which resulted in the printer being installed correctly.

    It's a pity that the site where I download the printer driver does not provide adequate instructions for how to do this.  I guess the solution is hiring a computer technician to do it for you.

  • Cannot install driver printer for Photosmart C7180 All-in-Ohe

    It is a complicated mess.  My operating system is Vista Ultimate.  It started with a print job stuck in the queue.  When I did as indicated by a technician of HP, and I did not yet do not forget that I was told to do more, after a reboot, the print job is still stuck.  I spoke with another HP tech and finally, he told me that I need to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall.  It wouldn't reinstall, and I got the error message "HP Recovery to install plugin has stopped working".  Then I learned from another technology that the pilot was incompatible with IE8 and I had to uninstall IE8, install the printer driver, and then reinstall IE8.  After uninstalling IE8, it was still impossible to install the printer driver.  I got the message error "HP Installer preinstallateur updated plugin has stopped working".  Another technology, the fourth in the order, said it was a Microsoft problem.  I called Microsoft and got a tech who has done everything in his power to circumvent the problem and this is what I have, workaround.  I can print from my desktop via my laptop, that is shared over a network and who does not have the printer driver installed.   The technology of Microsoft told me it was a problem of HP.  How can I get the driver reinstalled on my desk?  I keep getting the error message "HP Installer preinstallateur plug-in update has stopped working," if I try to load the printer driver on the HP or my installation disc download site.  Any help would be most appreciated!  I don't want to buy another printer when this one worked very well except for a print job stuck in the queue!

    I am answering my own post!  Took a chance and bypassed the recommended installation and custom installation.  When the custom install window that is displayed, I selected all the elements and the printer driver installed!  Hooray.  Now I'm still wondering how to get a print job stuck out of the queue - he would not cancel.

    Thank you.

  • Printer driver Photosmart p1000 for windows 7

    where can I get a driver for my Photosmart P1000 for Windows 7?

    Thank you

    Jack

    I have correctly installed Photosmart P1000 with HP Desk Jet 970Cse driver to Windows 7 by following your steps (part I) and part II; steps, I found to suport-amlabels-for moving item not specified in the list of printers.

    Note: When I used HP Desk Jet 990c (do not use) he connected the printer to the computer but would send paper without printing - DJ970Cse worked perfectly for me.

    Here is the entire process part I, part II, part III.

    Note in part II I was not able to find the right driver, because I wasn't able to do the update of windows from there.  There may be an easier way to do it, but it worked:

    Part i:  (to turn on the windows update)

    1. go on devices and printers.

    2. click on add a printer.

    3. replace LPT1 port USB.

    4. click on windows update (to load the drivers more) - Once loaded - click on HP (Hewlett-Packard not stated), then clickDesk Jet 970Cse

    5. after the directions at the end (not alarmed that the test print does not work - this step is only for Windows Update to register for part II - later allows you to uninstall this printer useless).

    Part II

    A problem that may be encountered during the installation of your printer of labels on the Windows 7 operating system is put in the list of devices not specified, even though you think that you have installed the drivers correctly.

    Now to remove the unspecified list, please follow these quick steps:

    1. From the Windows taskbar, click the Windows, right click on computer icon, and then click Manage . The computer management window opens.
    2. Click Device Manager in the left pane of the computer management window under System Tools. A list of installed devices appears in the right pane of the computer management window.
    3. Right-click of your product in the list of other devices and then click Update driver software . Opens a dialog box to locate the driver software.
    4. Click Browse my computer for driver software .
    5. Click Let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer , and then click Next . The Add Printer Wizard opens.
    6. Under manufacturer , in the installation of the printer driver window, click on the manufacturer of your .
    7. Under Printers , select the driver replacement for the product (listed in the table in step to determine compatible driver appropriate ), and then click Next . Opens a window to update driver warning.
    8. Click Yes to continue the driver installation.
    9. Pull up a document to print, and then select HP Desk Jet 970 CSE (1 copy).  It should display the color and black.
    10. Go to part III delete the first printer installed.

    Your device will now be fully assembled and ready to use.

    Part III

    1 cancellation test print of the first installed printer HP Desk Jet 970 CSE

    2. Uninstall HP Desk Jet 970 CSEdo uninstall (1 copy)

    3 (1 copy) will replace the printer uninstalled.

    I hope you have success faster than I did - it took me two hours to finally combine those two processes and then I also had to restore my computer to a version prior to restart after installing HP 990 C JD.

     

  • installation printer hp photosmart 7550 on Windows Vista system

    I managed to install the printer and print jobs show ready to print but not printed.

    Not sure if this printer is compatible with my operating system?  Site Web of HP said to use a driver for a deskjet 5550 but did not specify where this driver can be downloaded.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    CARVER405

    Hello

    You are right. There is no 7550 driver for Windows Vista, and you must use the 5550.

    Step 2 explains how to get the driver here:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00808478

    Note in step 7, 'select the printer driver appropriate replacing' means that you must select the DJ 5550 in your case.

    Hope that help.
