• Devices and Printers dialog box empty

  When I opened my "Devices and printers" dialog box, it is empty; nothing shows, and registration of the order of the day says "0 items.

  Printers appeared in the devices dialog box and printers and devices box earlier, but now are gone from the dialog box.  However, they are still in the system, everything seems to work.  The problem of trying to define the preferences for the devices and printers, because they cannot be seen or accessed.

  Anyone got ideas on how get the devices and printers will appear again?

  Devices and printers will show a device when you set up multiple printers for the same device.   There is a passage outwards the menu to access all the other printers on the device.    Use teams of spooler UI, printmanagement.msc to display all local printers on Pro and Ultimate.

  The old printers folder can be launched if you run Home versions.

  Open a command prompt and paste this in.

• The "Devices and printers" folder does not appear anything-

• Devices and printers takes a long time to open

  In Windows 7, the devices and printers open almost instantly. In Windows 8 Pro x 64, devices and printers takes almost 30 seconds to open, and it takes a long time whenever I open it. How can I shorten the time required for the devices and printers to open?

  Before you answer, please note the following:
  • I don't get an error message when I open devices and printers.
  • I have not made any recent hardware or software changes to the computer.
  • I experience the same behavior when Windows 8 starting in a boot environment.

  My problem is solved.

  Instead of wasting time on generic solutions, I should look for a specific cause from the start. In my case, the problem was with my scanner. In devices and printers, I open my scanner and selected properties of analysis. On the events under Actions tab, Windows had chosen to 'Interrogate what program to run.' I changed it to "Start this program" and choose my scanner software in the drop-down list.
  Devices and printers now opens almost instantly.

• 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. When the install window appears the USB and other connections are indicated, USB has been selected but the connection does not appear on the next screen.  When I looked at devices and printers from the start screen, the 5515 appears as a scanner without the attributes of the printer.  It disappears when the 5515 is disconnected.  How can I connect the printer properly?

• 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...

  I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

  It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

• ASUS VS247H 23.6 "LED LCD, is detected by the generic devices such as 'PNP monitor' Manager My video card is detected correctly. Win 7 Pro 64-bit. It also shows that Asus VS247 in devices and printers

  This monitor works fine but is detected by the generic as 'PNP monitor' Device Manager. My video card is detected correctly. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. It also shows that Asus VS247 in devices and printers. I checked the Asus support and they do not have a monitor driver.

  Any comments would be appreciated.

  Roger,

  I'm glad to hear that.

  Just to let you know, it is often the case with the monitors.

  They will be the "default"setting, but still have the correct driver.

  Happy computing,

• 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" do not show the printer on LPT1

  I recently added a printer on parallel port LPT1: on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit edition.  The installation was successful.  I can print a test page and you can use the printer from applications, including Notepad, Microsoft Word 2010, and command prompt.  I find it puzzling, however, that the printer does not appear in the list of printers in the "Devices and printers" Control Panel applet  Is this a bug in Windows?  Microsoft has a fix available?

  Hello Tony,.

  Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

  Sometimes, this problem appears when printers or other devices using the same driver and port on Windows. When you view the printers installed in "Devices and printers", you may notice that some of the printers or other devices are grouped and are associated with the same printer icon. Scenarios like two or more printers are installed using the same printer and installed driver with the same printer port (i.e. LPT1) shows this kind of behavior.

  I suggest you follow the steps described in the article below to get this matter resolved.

  Printers using the same driver and port on Windows are grouped as a reporting in devices and printers.

• 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.
