• printer not shown in devices and printers - teacher of windows 7, 32 - bit

  I am running windows 7 Professional, and my parallel printer (hp laserjet 5 p) does not appear in my list of devices and printers. I can also access via my LAN.  It doesn't, however, work very well as my default printer. what I have to do to get on the list, I can change the attributes to share?

  launch printmanagement.msc, it is the tool provided by the spooler team to administer local printers

  Apparently the devices and printers will fire this printer on your computer if the parallel port is configured for the SPP.  If you right click on the computer in devices and printers, you can see the menu item printer properties there.    You can change the configuration of the BIOS of your computer.  If the parallel port is an addition on the map please let me know the manufacturer.

  But frankly printmanagement is a better solution.

• Devices and printers icons

  How do I change the icon of the generic printer for a period that best represents my printer. No problem on the other two systems with Win7, but the new machine gives me a way to change. It is for me a custom icon for my HP printer, but a generic for my Epson printer. Have some custom icons for the two printers on other machines in Win7. Help!

  There is a lot of information on the web about this.  For example, to see the results of this research--> https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+7+devices+and+printers+icons+change&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

  This tutorial explains how to make custom icons for devices Printers &--> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/224162-devices-printers-change-device-icons-custom-icons.html

  But since your other Win 7 systems give you a specific device for your printer icon, I think all you have to do on this system is to check the appropriate box as shown here--> http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-7-download-latest-drivers-icons-devices-automatically once you check the box, you need to maybe reboot or do a manual Windows Update check updates to download the correct icon.

• Devices and printers is empty

  Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I read all the advice given previously, but still do not see anything in devices and printers.

  Things arise in Mode safe mode but not in cleaning Mode.

  Bluetooth and printer spool show as automatic.

  I tried scannow but who told me only it were corrupt and referred me to the CBS logs that I can not open, not even the command prompt - I enter the string as shown on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/928228/en-us and nothing happens, not even an error msg.

  I did a check of memory, I've updated the USB driver which was presented as a problem in safe mode and nothing has worked.

  Help, please

  TIA

• Desktop appears as a laptop in devices and printers - no ethernet

  My desktop computer Dell Vostro 460 appears as a Dell laptop, the type of unknown model in the menu "devices and printers". It has a yellow sign with an exclamation point in the icon and offers to solve problems. When I click on this option, it offers to install a driver for SM bus controller and a driver for the ethernet controller. I click on apply, but this utility is unable to find a driver for either.

  Other details:
  -Windows 7
  -J' have recently replaced the 2 sticks of RAM. Didn't notice this problem until after I installed them, but it could be a problem because my ethernet has never worked.
  -My works wireless.
  -No UBS has already been connected.
  -No battery indicator never appeared. It appears only as a laptop in this menu.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  I suggest you to contact Dell technical support to obtain the updated drivers. They help the issue.

• Suddenly, a window devices and printers in Windows7 Starter shows 0 items.

  After trying everything I could, I came across suggested fix by Alan Morris, entered a long command.

  This produces the following message: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. »

  I'm new on Windows and have no idea of what I'm supposed to do.

  Moreover, several attempts, using the restore of the system to solve the problem all failed, reporting a "unknown error 0 x 80070005.

  I see in this forum a lot of people with the loss of the window there devices and printers since at least February.  Microsoft Corp. never solves problems in the software it sells?

  I hope someone can put me on the right track.

  Finally discovered that it's actually a problem of bluetooth services. I don't know even why I looked there-

  THE DIFFICULTY at least for me...

  Click the Start button, type "services" in the search programs and files. This will display a list in the menu, select Services. "This should open a list of local services on your system..., Find ' Bluetooth Service" and make sure that it has begun, click right and put on 'automatic' (mine was already fixed), select 'Bluetooth Support Service' and start, set to automatic (mine has been on dsabled).

  This fixed my issue, I hope you do too...

• Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

  Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

  I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

  

  If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

  The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

  I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

• Photosmart HP 7520: 2 printers appear on devices and printers

  I'm not technical so need help to understand why when I look in the control panel under devices and printers 2 printers appear.  We're the printer default HP Photosmart 7520 series (network) and the other is HP96DC72 (Hp Photosmart 7520 series).  I've included a snapshort of the properties of the two printers appears under devices and printers.  I combined 3 pictures into one.  Point 1: shows the properties under the default printer with the menu drop down list 2 printers, reason why two of them?  Point 2: shows the properties for the second (HP96DC72) indicating that it is a printer web services.  Point 3: displays the properties of the default printer.

  Can someone explain what the hell this is all about?  I have a printer, but defined it in my router as a printer for printing, although I him have not used for this purpose again.

  Any comments will be appreciated.

  Thank you... Ralph

  

  Hello

  Those are two logical printers, and you can use both:

  1. the first condition is connected to your WiFi network normally.

  2. the other is directly connected, you can print even when your network down.

  Webcam is displayed in devices and printers, but can not get turned on?

  Hello

  ·         What operating system do you use?

  ·         You're using a built-in or external webcam?

  ·         What is the brand and model of the webcam?

  ·         Were there recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to check in Device Manager if you can detect the webcam. See the link below to open the Device Manager in windows 7:

  Try to update the drivers for the webcam from the manufacturing site and check if it works:

  For return options have been lost, you need to uninstall and reinstall using the latest drivers from HP. This should retrieve all of your options.

• Photosmart 5515 shows like a scanner in Windows 7 devices and printers

  Product Photosmart 5515-B111H (CQ183B) running on Windows 7 PC. Software seems to have loaded ok.

• Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

  I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

  The problem has been resolved.

  HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

  When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.
