Windows 7 and Deskjet printer 722C

I tried to install my office 722 C on my Windows 7 32-bit system.  Windows has detected the hardware & after you download the driver, said "your device is ready to use.  However, he said also "no installed printer.  Could not print because there is no printer listed.  Tried added my printer, but it was not on the drop-down list.

Tried using 720 C series HP's CD to install the printer, but there was only LPT1-3 listed as choices, no USB port.

I currently use this printer on an XP with a cable converter USB / parallel that I bought in 2008.   The cable would be the issue?

On the HP website, it says that my printer is supported in Windows 7.  Needless to say I want to buy a new printer.

I don't know what to do.

Only, I have solved my problem.  I saw on a forum when you use Windows 7's "add a printer", there is the possibility of a more extended list of printers to choose from (with Windows Update).  I tried & the expanded list did not have my model 722C, but not 720C, I use the same driver.  So I chose 720C & the printer has been installed successfully on my new Windows 7 system.  And it even prints!

Yes!

Thanks HP for your forums.

    "they have installed?  You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?

    The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed.  Download and run the MGADiag tool.  If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP.  While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.

    When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all.  Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it.  (Note: remember "Step 4".)  "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)

    I just installrd Windows 7 (64-bit) and can't get my HP 895cxi printer at work. It is supposed to be compatible. I think I downloaded a driver for 895cxesomehow. I removed the device from my computer several times, but when I plug in the USB slot, it is confused with a cxe. When I try to print I get always a printing error. I tried to download the right driver from the HP site and get a message that the driver is to download, but never have evidence she managed to my computer and the printer still does not print. How can I remove the cxe driver, getting correctly identified my printer and download the right driver?

    If your printer is not connected to your network, you may need to set up a temporary ad hoc wireless between the printer and a PC. Once you do this, you can enter the printer wireless configuration pages and configure the SSID of the network, wireless, encryption type, encryption key, etc..

  • Printing - Windows 7 and HP printer wireless problem

    I'm having a problem with wireless printing on... I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, on a a new HP laptop and an hp officejet pro 8500 wireless device.  As another user on this forum... it will work if I plug in the usb cable, but it is not an acceptable solution for me.  I have two other computers on my wireless network... a mac and an office (both on different operating systems) that are printing the printer wireless without a problem.  It will remain not connected my laptop (Windows 7).  What seems to happen, is that I lose my connection to the network.  This is not moved until I started trying to print wireless.  But now that I am printing wireless I can print a job or two, and then I lose my connection.  If I run upstairs and power to the bottom of my router, I'll be able to print again... briefly... and then I lose my wireless connection and I start over again.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  I installed the correct drivers (and I am able to print... but I'll have to restart my router every 30 minutes approximately).  If I'm not looking to print wireless from my laptop (with windows 7) I don't have this problem... I lose no connection between my laptop and the wireless network unless I'm wireless printing.  Other computers on the wireless network will continue to work very well, but I have to restart my router in order to get reactivated the ability to print.  Print a couple of jobs and then * poof * I can't print more.     My router is a Belkin N + B1F688.  My printer is connected wireless to my router and is recognized and used by two other computers.  I spent COUNTLESS hours trying to solve this problem.  I have lived my configuration of the firewall.  WHAT SHOULD I DO?

  • Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 4 Plus

    I have a new laptop with windows 7 and a printer LaserJet 4 Plus old (but very reliable).  I managed to download drivers from the HP site, but it still won't print.  I get no error messages, just nothing happens when I try to print a document or test page.  I have to change something in my settings?

    There are three areas major problems installing a Laserjet 4 in Windows 7:

    • Ports.  The Laserjet 4 and its derivatives have a standard parallel port, but most of the Windows 7 machines no longer have a parallel port.  The most common solution is a USB-parallel conversion cable.  This can be problematic, because many of the converter cables do not support Windows 7.  [Edit - here marked positions have the models of cable converter in the forum users has reported as working in Windows 7]. In addition, most cables have no documentation (or even a brand name) makes it difficult to solve problems.  The converter can provide a parallel port simulated as LPT3: or it may be a port USB001.:  Another option with the Laserjet 4 would be adding a JetDirect card that would provide a network for the Laserjet 4 port.  This will require the Laserjet connected to a router and would provide access network on multiple computers if you wish.  A typical JetDirect card for the Laserjet 4 is shown here.
    • Drivers.  The Laserjet 4 drivers (and 4 M and other derivatives) are sent through Windows Update.  If Windows Update is enabled (as described in the method of step 2 here in the section "configure Windows Update for"...) you may be able to simply plug in the USB cable and install the driver correctly.  If not do the following: click on start Orb, devices and printers, add printer, and then select the appropriate port.  When the list of printers, click Windows Update.  It will take several minutes for the list to repopulate, when it is finished the Laserjet 4 series printer won't be available under HP (Hewlett-Packard).
  • DeskJet 2546 b: Wireless print job stays in queue and poster printer offline after the upgrade to Windows 10

    I write a fix I found for a pretty annoying problem involving 10 Windows and HP wireless printers.

    My Deskjet 2546-b printer was printing OK wireless to the point 8.1 of Windows until that I upgraded my computer to Windows 10. Immediately after I upgraded to Windows 10, I could not scan, so I reinstalled the printer software and has worked for a day or two and then the printer would print not unless I restarted the printer or the computer - sometimes 2 or 3 times. This went on for a few weeks, sometimes it would be nice, sometimes, usually after the computer restarts, he would simply go offline. Once, he went offline 3 times when I was printing about 20 postage labels, recently he went 1 week without any problems.

    Long story short, after a lot of troubleshooting and to help a friend to HP, I found the problem to be associated with the WSD/service Port in Windows 10. My printer still maintains a stable connection with my Netgear router (wireless to the printer light stays on blue) and I was able to scan from the HP software and I could ping the printer... but printing would be just stuck in the print queue (the spooler service) and the printer showed offline in the queue, hardware and windows devices , or when printing from a program like Windows.

    I learned that if I went in devices and printers, until I sent a print job, if the printer showed offline, I could save time by restarting the printer simply and he would come every time (less painful) online.

    But it's just a solution and not a solution.

    Nothing worked... not even print and scan doctor. The final fix that worked was to define an IP address manually for the printer, and then I put the print driver to use a standard TCP/IP port.

    Here is the step by step. Your printer must already be connected to your network (solid blue on printer).

    Step 1: Make sure your printer uses a manual IP address

    (1) to obtain the IP address of your printer:

    • If your printer has a control panel with a menu, it's easy... Just look in the settings menu without wire/report and write your printer IPv4 address.
    • If your printer is not a menu of fancy and repower the computer and printer HP Print and Scan Doctor network menu display use (wireless), or you can connect to your router from a web browser (usually 192.168.1.1) and look at attached IPs (like me). Some printers can also print a report of the network when you hold down some buttons everything back up and running, but you will need to search the web site of the Internet or HP to find the process for your printer model - the report displays the IP Address of the printer.

    (2) once you have the IP address of the printer number, type this information in a web browser... like 192.168.1.x (where x is the last number of your printer)

    Web page of the printer should find - otherwise, use another browser (you can use a tablet or iPad if you want). HP has several different forms of printing of web pages (embedded web servers) depending on your printer model, but they all have a large number of parameters.

    (3) since the network tab or section, look for a manual IP address configuration.

    (4) suggest an IP address or type in a new.  I've personally used suggest and then replaced by the last number 241. You want to use a high number, something in the order of 240 to 250 to reduce the risk of problems caused by your router assign this number to something else on your network. Note the 4 digits for the new IP address manual, you will use them later.

    5) click apply and close the web page of the printer.

    Step 2: Make the print driver using the manual IP address of the printer

    Open the devices and printers in Windows, right click on your printing device and select printer properties. Follow the prompts to get the WSD port and on a new local port...

    1) click on the ports tab.

    (2) add the Port.

    (3) click on after the first screen, and then click new port type.

    (4) enter the IP address of the printer.

    (5) next.

    (6) select the new port.

    7) click OK.

    You have now two pilots displayed in the printers and devices window, you can now print... but you might not be able to scan and the HP printing software may not work as he might want to lets you add a new printer when you open it... If Yes, proceed to step 3.

    Step 3: Remove print devices and install a new one.

    Need to do this to get the software back HP synchronized so you can scan.

    (1) right click 2 print devices listed in the window of your printer and remove them by clicking on remove device.

    (2) open the HP printer Assistant software (from the icon on the desktop or you can search Windows by using the name of your printer).

    (3) installation/add a new printer... go fast and a new device icon is added to the printers and devices window.

    4) return to the printers and devices window and open the properties of the printer again for your printer icon.

    5) go to the ports tab (yet) and you'll see a new selected WSD port, select Port Standard, you created earlier in step 2.

    (6) you have now two print devices in the window (again), but now everything should work.

    These two devices alone from here on out. Do not remove one and everything should work fine. At least it worked for me. I hope it works for you. I'm hoping a Windows update resolves this problem soon, I see many people who cannot print or scan wireless after they upgraded - not just the stuff of HP.

  • HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

    After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

    I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Hi there @lesart55.

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

    I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

    Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

    Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

    An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

    I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

  • HP Deskjet 6980: windows 10 + HP6980 to print YELLOW

    The driver for the HP Deskjet 6980 for Windows 10 mistranslates colors sent to the printer. It's what I use is the only new driver for this printer for Windows 7/64.

    Specifically, the YELLOW does not print at all - anything this spell either green blue. I tested this feature by printing two versions of color bars. Indeed, there is no yellow printing, and all the Greens are printed blue. And, Yes, I use new color and black cartridges, so no need to ask about it.

    I built a computer completely NEW with NEW hard disks and a clean install of Windows 10/64-bit via USB 3.0 drive. The only two things that the surplus of my old Windows XP system are the printer and the scanner (HP Scanjet 4370) which worked perfectly on XP system. The scanner has its own problems with Windows 10 and the HP Photosmart Premier does not work (but it is a different matter). I downloaded the new drivers for both devices.

    Apparently, from what I read on the site of HP, the printer or the scanner are supported any longer. I consider that very rude and unacceptable, especially since no appropriate replacement printer is available new from HP with good quality that I've come to expect from HP.

    All that said, is anyone know how I can get my printer to print YELLOW?
