Windows 7 HP990c printer problems

Hello

When I print multiple copies using XP I have no problem. In Windows 7, it prints one (1) copy when requested but 2 or 3 times the number of copies at the request of several copies.  The XP driver is certainly higher, because it allows me to choose ink 'light' setting, which is very useful to prevent bleeding through the paper.  I checked my settings of printer several times for example "pages per sheet" 1 and 'copy the number' 1 copy, etc.

Everyone knows about similar issues and if so is there a cure?

I have no confidence in the search for a cure and hope I can add a second hard drive with XP installed on my new computer Windows 7 does not allow me to install XP on my existing hard drive.

Kind regards

The last comprehensive features for your printer driver package was released in January 2002. Of the generic drivers as included in Vista and Windows 7 will offer never the same level of performance. If you want a printer that works well, buy a new...

  • Windows 7 homegroup printer problems

    I have set up a homegroup with a laptop computer and computer of one currently connected and recognized Wireless Office. I have double/triple checked all the settings on both computers and everything is according to the needs. When we send a document from the laptop to the desktop printer (HP 1600), the status shows as having been wound onto portable printer information and it shows also have been wrapped and in the queue on the desktop, but it ends - nothing prints!  Here's the loopy thing - in desperation I re-uploaded the driver package for HP printer on the desktop and as it was be installed the printed document. However, when you try to send another document to print from the laptop on the 1600 HP desktop, first the laptop tells us that new printer drivers need to be downloaded on this one, which we comply to and then voila! We're back to the same problem - does not, but in the print queue. Repeat the re-installation of printer on the desktop drivers and it prints again during installation.
    I'm in a loop or maybe just loopy - HELP please.

    On the printer properties Ports tab, uncheck enable bidirectional.  This disables the HP language monitor

  • Windows 7 network printing problems

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista Home premium, the two versions are 32-bit. If you are using Vista and I tried to connect to the printer on my home network using a wireless network to a runing XP Home Office, I receive an error message that says: access denied. I get this same message using Windows 7. He sees the printer on the network but will not connect. If I connect the printer directly to the laptop, it works fine.

    Your "Access denied" error indicates that you do not have file/printer sharing set up properly.

    Configure file sharing / print:

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers.

    How install a printer connected locally to a different computer if the driver installation routine does not help:

    Go to the computer to which the printer is connected. Note the name of the computer that you will get to the control panel > system > computer name. Now in the Panel, go to the printers. Find the printer in question, right-click, and then click Properties. Note the name of the share. Of course you must have already set up file sharing / print on all computers involved and share the printer.

    Now, go to the remote computer to which you want to add the printer. Control Panel > printers > add printer

    Click Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list box is Local Port. Don't change that. Click Next. A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type in the \\FullComputername\SharedPrintername

    ex: \\mycomputer\HPDJ (that's why you wrote the names of computer and printer in the first step)

    Click Next. In the manufacturers list, select the correct printer manufacturer and the correct printer model in the Printers list. Under "do you want to use this printer as default printer select"Yes"(if you do!). and click Next. When asked to print a test page, select 'Yes', then finish.
