Unable to install printer Kodak ESP 6150 on XP 64 - bit processor. My husband did not check the requirements before you buy the printer! Does anyone know if there is a driver who will do the trick? Thanks in advance!
Hello
I'm afraid that the KODAK ESP Office 6150 printer software is not compatible with the operating system of Windows XP 64-bit; However I suggest you to get in touch with the OEM manufacturer for alternative solutions to install the drivers.

HP Officejet 4630 is unable to install the driver. Windows XP Sp3
Good evening
I bought this printer earlier today and a few hours already on this issue. The box is not too far away, and the printer could come back soon!
The printer works fine, it was connected to my router, the light is always on, it says connected to the wifi system. Print the confirmation of wifi connection page, everything is 'Success'
My problem is that whenever I try to install the drivers, the research of setting up a printer that is connected but not yet installed. He notice my printer with the right ip address, then copy the driver of a couple files and then tells me it is unable to install the printer.
The current configuration is OJ4630_198, I found an older version and tried it but roughly the same results, except that before it stops the installation telling me he fails to do so, it asks me to locate the HP CD on my cd player, looking for a fax facility facility .png but fails a second later.
I am naïve enough, I tried to install it manually, but of course the Communication Port is a little tricky with a wire less printer. I noticed there's a selection of "Create a new port" available in which appears an option named "Hp discovered Port Monitor (HP 4630 series)" which curiously is my new printer. Tried but it doesn't work.
I reset my router and printer, pc several times, tried to assign my printer to another port number, all ended with the same results. It connects to my wifi, but I can't seem to install the printer driver. So my list of printers is empty atm...
Thanks for any help,
Very appreciated
Windows XP Sp3
Cisco router
ZoneAlarm firewall...
Well, problem solved.
It is indeed a Windows problem.
Thanks to SAM from live chat assistance, he noticed the HP Installer wasn't working, so we tried to manually install the printer with the tcp/ip Protocol and former driver windows Xp Announces (deskjet 990c) who worked...
I hope that everything is still functional. But Kudos to SAM for a helping hand.

Problem installing printer driver
having trouble installing a driver for my printer hp on my Toshiba laptop.

Your best bet is to contact HP, because they support their printers, we don't support products microsoft here.

I just upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate. Once installation is complete, I tried to update the drivers and install the latest updates. Everything worked except for HP LaserJet 4 L driver. As a first step, whenever the driver tried to install it, the print spooler service may stop working, and the driver installation failed with error code 800F0246. I then removed everything from the spool directory, rebooted and tried again. This time, the print spooler service has not prevented from working, but the driver still does not work with error code 80070706.
I can't find the information for this error (80070706) anywhere on the web. Any help would be appreciated.
More information: the HP LaserJet 4 L printer is connected via a parallel to a prolific USB docking cable. Windows recognizes the printer as the IEEE-1284 device, but says it needs driver to work.
Update: I was able to manually add the 4L driver using the print server properties dialog box, BUT if I try to add a printer after that, I get "the print processor does not exist. If I try to add a printer without installing the driver, I get ERROR 0 x 00000002.
Everything is running as an administrator. It worked perfectly under Vista.
Thanks for these links, but these proposals did not help nor solve the problems.
After a long and painful journey through the registry, I determined that this workstation was already installed 3rd party software, called "Pharos". Apparently, this software was redirecting the default print processors and was clearly not compatible with Windows 7, although the installation of Win 7 never mentioned a problem of compatibility. Once this software has been removed, and all the remains erased from the registry, there is now no problems with printers or print spooler.
In the future, it would be useful that Microsoft has actually provided certain types of useful information when these accidents occur. Cryptic error numbers and unnecessary event log entries did not provide useful clues.

I suggest you follow the link below and run the printer Troubleshooter that diagnoses and repairs printing problems automatically:

a. Click Start. In the start search box type "devmgmt.msc", and then press ENTER.
b. Locate the printer in Device Manager.
c. click on the "Driver" tab, click "Uninstall".
d. Click Start. In the start search box type "appwiz.cpl", and then press ENTER.
e. remove the program that is installed by the printer.
Once you uninstall the printer, try to install it again by downloading the driver.

Unable to install printer Deskjet F4280 all-in-one Windows Pro 8.1
A week ago my laptop with Windows Pro 8.1 was a significant error and he stopped, then I restarted the operating system with a previous image of the hard drive C.

Unfortunately every time installation fails during step "product configuration" after a lot of minutes to expire. The error was the last time.

Multifunction,
Thank you for the update. The registry document I sent should apply to all computers in Windows 8. Please try to follow these steps.
If you do not provide the error log, which could be very useful. This will help me to refine the question. Also, I do not fear spend 20 minutes reading code until something is different.
I will help you with pleasure until the issue is resolved. If you find my help, you can keep tagging my posts with congratulations and accepted Solutions. It would be appreciated.
Have a great day!

I tried several times to use the original installation disc, the latest version of the software driver hp Forum, etc. All with no luck. And now, of course, my host system is all messed up with installs partial. I know it works because I saw another W7 - 64 box to connect to the same XP machine via the network. I need measures to clean first the disorder of my current box then the steps to connect to the printer on the XP machine over the network. This is similar to a question last may, who seems to have been abandoned.
Poster 8lives gives the following solution in another thread:
On the Win 7 computer...
Devices and printers
Add a printer
Add a local printer
Select create a new port:
Select Local Port for the port Type:
Enter the name of the network to the XP computer that is. \\XPcomputername\LJprinterid
Install the LaserJet 1020 driver when prompted
This did it for me.
