• Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

  Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

  Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

  Before you start

  Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

  If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

  Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

  1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.
  
  
  2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.
  
  
  3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

  1. installation Via USB

  Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

  2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

  For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

  3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

  For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  Alternative installation methods

  With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

  Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

  Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Hello @momodeda!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

  The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

  Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

  If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.
  
  To uninstall the HP software, click here: uninstall the HP software
  
  To perform a disk cleanup, click here: perform a disk cleanup

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• Why the print button does not to preview before printing?

  After the Firefox update suddenly goes to the window to print preview by clicking on the print button rather than just print the page.

  Three clicks you can now print a page, rather than one.

  Second, when to close the tab that was printed to focus now goes to the tab to the right of this tab rather than one that was previously active.

  When you need to print 30 pages (a backend of ecommerce for example invoices) is now much more time.

  Why make changes that introduces additional complexity?

  I hope Mozilla will see sense and reverse this strange change in the next version.

  Maybe watching the pref browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose the topic: config page.

• Why my printer say its OFF LINE?

  Confused about why a screen when I try to print, saying: my printer is OFFLINE. What makes offline when it is clearly now?

  Double U Dee and anyone who reads this, I am pleased to announce that the SUCCESS has been achieved.

  First of all, I had to keep trying and trying to make the download work, again and again. I took this tactic after reading that the PASV Port flight error is random. So my theory was that if I continued to try, I would eventually get the box to download. And I did it.
  

  And here's what I think was happening throughout cause not not at all of a sudden, my printer: when I bought this printer and used, everything was fine... except once a week, I would get a box that says my printer driver was preventing my computer from hibernation (he used another word, but the meaning is the same). I did not continue.

  Then maybe... by unplugging my printer and moving it somewhere else, finally high driver problem its ugly head, first with the OFFLINE area, then just the error message by the document as it is just sitting in the queue...

  AND the problem I had when I uninstall twice and reinstalled it, is not disconnect USB. Because this time, when I keep disconnected and reconnected only when the installation process told me of... the printer then began to work.

  Of course, the above is my theory. But I can say for a fact that correctly install the third time was the charm. 

  Thank you Double Dee U. I followed your 8 steps to the T and can now print. You pat on the back and remember and tell others that you give computer advice excellent!
