Windows 8 is recognizing my composite usb as a USB printer

I have connected my printer Brother MFC 7860 for my new laptop Windows8 and everything was fine.  However, after printing successfully for a day, I connected this same laptop to two new devices USB 1) a USB "splitter" which divides 1 USB port for 4 and 2) ethernet cable adapter that allows to connect my ethernet cable to my USB port (because I have no ethernet port on my laptop).  Since I connected these two devices, Windows 8 does not recognize my printer as your printer.  Instead, whenever I it chaque fois que je l' ai have plug in, it recognizes it as a "USB Composite Device".  Therefore, I can't print.

Help.

Hello

A composite USB device refers to a simple gadget that has the ability to provide multiple functions, that you have connected the USB splitter to the USB devices that you connect to the USB splitter will be detected as a USB Composite device.

The USB splitter is not directly connected to the motherboard of the computer, and so it allows to detect devices like composite USB devices. You can check if the printer is detected as a printer on the computer by plugging it directly into the USB port.

Hope that this useful information, if you need help on Windows let us know we will be happy to help you.

  • Impossible to install the driver Windows 7 for my Canon MF4150 USB printer and scanner-worked in XP

    Original title: Windows 7 x 64 Windows printer problems is not able to resolve

    The scanner and my Canon MF4150 USB printer was working fine with my Windows XP computer.

    I got a new computer with Windows 7 x 64 OS and I can't get the printer to work.

    I downloaded the printer driver specified for Windows 7 x 64.

    The installation program is not accepted as I get a message that the resource file are not available.

    I then added the printer manually without success.

    The strange thing is that it shows in devices and printers but nothing prints.

    Initially, it has the usual green check that the default printer then becomes a warning sign yellow when I try to print.

    Right-click on the printer and select "Printer properties" and select "Canon MF4100 series UFRII LT" in the SUP menu if it exists, this name may be different in your machine. After the Properties window shows tab select the 'Port '. change the port to another USB port (the one that the printer is connected to), and then apply the changes. Your problem should be solved.

    I hope this helps

  • When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

    I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

    However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

    I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

    Root for example E: /.

    -Computer #1

    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #1

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #2

    - WindowsImageBackup 
    -ComputerName #2

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    -Computer #3
    - WindowsImageBackup
    -ComputerName #3

    -202348 backup 2016-05-29

    -Catalogue

    -SPPMetadataCache

    -MediaID (file)

    I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

    However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

    Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

    Original title: restore the System Image

    Thank you all for responding with your advice and suggestions but the failure has been a bit of my doing (?).

    When I went to another port for the USB, everything worked fine! Simple solution, that I should have tried first - duh! :-)

    My USB 3.0 4TB drive was originally on a port USB 3 (which was either missing or not recognized by my Bios) and when I changed my old disk ports USB 2, everything has worked well!

    Thanks again, all...

  • Cannot access windows temp file .pdf Creator to function or install USB printer

    Nice day

    I was pulling my hair out on this one, please help!

    This is a new PC installed with windows 7 basic

    I haven't installed a physical printer via USB, no problem, then tried to install a PDF Creator to send statements of a rental program. Installation and opening the .pdf Creator program, I get an error that it doesn't have permission to open the temp folder. I then also tried to install a second printer via USB but constantly receive the message not recognized USB device! and the printer cannot be found or installed. The PDF Creator should create a printer under printers but it hasent. I was convinced after having scoured the forums that the two issues were related and had to do with - user account control settings - unfortunately after countless did stop it no chance neither will work.

    I tried the following

    • restarted the countless number of times disconnecting the pc
    • Turned UAC works with restarts in the meantime and attempt to install creator .pdf and the second usb printer install with this setting turned on and off with no luck.
    • checked the registry entry for the UAC sure he was totally disabled
    • verified that the second USB Samsung printer is 100% compatible with windows 7
    • downloaded the latest installation of creator .pdf files
    • cancelled all windows 7 updates with a system restore
    • uninstall all USB drivers who then reinstalled on reboot.
    • Tried to manually add the Samsung printer using Add Printer

    I am now at a loss and am convinced that the two problems are related. Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    Hi molon,.

    ·        What is the model number of the printer?

    ·        Did you follow the guidelines in accordance with the installation guide supplied with the printer?

    To refine the question

    Try to use the USB port to which the first HP printer was connected to the Samsung printer.

    To check if it's a bad USB cable unplug the USB cable from the printer HP to work and plug this USB cable into one of the other printers to determine if it will recognize and install.

    Hello

    Something similar happened on my laptop. The laptop has stopped to recognize the external device (USB HDD). Someone told me that it happened because I used the safely remove. Usually, if you want to for example disconnect the USB HDD or USB key, you must use the remove before disconnecting the device from the laptop.
    I just deleted all ports USB device and Manager after restarting the laptop operating system recognized all the USB ports again. Further, I have connected my external HARD drive, and it worked!

    I put t know which external USB devices you use, but sometimes the machines cannot be allowed because the ports USB don t provide enough power.
    In this case, you can disable the mode without power failure in the USB hub properties in Device Manager.

    Good luck

  • How to install Windows XP on my NetBook via USB

    Can you tell me how to install Windows XP on my NetBook via USB as there is no CD to my Samsung N100 NetBook?

    Go to the Samsung's Web Site, click on the "Support" link and find/download a manual for your computer.  Somewhere in the manual (sometimes in the appendix) the procedure of installing Windows XP on your model will be explained.  However, having said all that, my bet on the response from Richard Harper and you will probably have to you beg/borrow/steal/buy an external USB CD-ROM drive.

    Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

    Not directly.

    There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.
    But it is unlikely.
    In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.

  • Software to insert text in a photo and then take pictures of Windows to copy on an external USB to print at the pharmacy. Thank you

    You know a software product to insert text in the photo and then take pictures of Windows and copy on an external USB to print at the pharmacy. Thank you

    To achieve this product is Adobe Photoshop http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family/.  This not only allows you to do, but allows you to manipulate pictures in almost any way you choose above all.

    If you are looking for a less expensive solution (although nowhere near as functional), then Microsoft Photo Editor free http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/microsoft-photo-editor.html will probably do the job for you.  In addition, you can try the free Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003 to http://www.brothersoft.com/microsoft-office-picture-manager-171868.html.  I suggest that you try the free options to determine if it meets your needs before you spend money on Adobe Photoshop (as good as Photoshop is).

    All these programs have the ability to record in a variety of formats - certainly, including that which can be handled by your local drug store (call them to check to determine what types of extensions that they can support and don't forget to use this format when you are working with your photos).

    Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
