Want 5660: Software HP "patches" changed my setup without warning or explanation

All trying to solve a problem with my printer series HO want 5660, I ran the HP Print application and doctor Scan and him allowed to update my software.

The behavior of the application behind my icon 'Series HP Envy 5660' is now different.

Prior to the update of the software, this icon has launched an application that allowed my to manage my printer, doing things like checking ink levels, check the settings and much more.
After the update of the software, this icon only of the choice to connect a new printer, reconfigure the wireless settings, or add more software.

I have experienced and fixed me my problem.

The problem occurred when I ran printing HP and doctor Scan. This 'well designed' software, announced it was changing the configuration of my port. HE DID NOT IDENTIFY WHICH CHANGED, GIVE THE USER THE POSSIBILITY TO ACCEPT THE CHANGE, OR AN OPTION FOR HER. I certainly will not use the utility again and am unlikely to buy another HP product because of bad software.

Anyway, I solved the problem by removing the printer that has been automatically added to the configuration of my little time after that I configured the printer. and reconfigure the printer that I added manually to use a standard TCP/IP printer port.

The printer automatically added himself moments later. «The printer is called: "HPCE5020", which is a "printer web services", configured to use port "TH4AL680Q7064T", desctibed as the re-discovery of HP network port monitor»

E series icon HP Envy 5660 now opens the HP printer Assistant, as it should.

  • Lately everytime I open firefox I get the window «do you want this program to make changes to your computer...» »

    Hello

    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a  new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    

    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.

    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    

    Thank you thank you very much in advance. I can't use this browser if that's going to happen, he finds himself on my nerves.

    A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

    Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
    If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

  • HP Envy 5660: KP want 5660 will not print envelopes

    I just started to try orint envelopes, but my printer HP Envy 5660 of four months will not be printed #10 or other envelopes.   Machine prints letter size and scans OK but no joy with envelopes.  The value wraps #10 and the loaded paper envelopes.  printer starts to take the envelope then freezes with a "thud" sound and displays the following error message:

    Paper size difference «»

    Detected by the printer paper size does not match the selected paper size. »

    I re-downloaded and installed the latest version of the HP 5660 software, still no joy, as above.

    Very frustrating!   Should I have a defective printer?

    I thought about it!  HP will be happy to lnow that the problem was not with the printer HP 5660.  It is with my need to learn how to configure Word 2003 to print envelopes with this printer.  After several visits to help offline in Word 2003 is included on my machine, I have found how non-intuitive to envelopes that run with the 5660.  It evolves your envelope and the graphics setting in tools/Word/letters and direct mail/envelopes and labels/add to the document and then saving them as a Word (.doc) document.  Then, to get the envelope to print, load the envelopes into the printer, then press file/print and then (totally intuitive) configured to print the "current page" or page # 0.  For successive envelopes, you edit the address if necessary in the Word document and then file / print... again.   It seems to work like a charm!

  • m8100y stopped no boot, no beep, light food. No software or BIOS changes.

    Hello

    I have a m8100y PC which ceased boot, no beep or any other activity (spining hdd or all other front panel lights) light on power visible from outside is light up. There is no software or BIOS changes. He used to work fine and the next day it does not start. I spent the cord with my monitors cord to make sure it's good. Also open the front panel to ensure that the contact of the switch is good.

    What would be my next steps to identify I have

    (1) power supply is ba

    (2) card mother or other components are a problem

    It is a machine for 3 years and older, can the CMOS battery cause me to not start? What does the beep System x many times to warn that. I hear no beeps and the CD wont open, so I know that there is a power problem. But the power supply has an outside light that truns when I plug in the power band.

    You will appreciate a help about what my next steps should be to identify the problem.

    Thank you!

    NB.

    Naimy, welcome to the forum.

    I think you may have a defective power supply unit (PSU).  Are the replaced component in a computer.  You can disconnect all unnecessary items, for example, hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, etc.  After these items are disconnected, try to start the computer.  Here's a guide to troubleshooting of the PSU.

    If you need to replace the power supply, I like Corsair and OCZ.  I normally recommend at least 550W for peak power needs.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.
