  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...

• Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

  I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

  The problem has been resolved.

  HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

  When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.

• No printer not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  This is quite disconcerting, and after a thorough search, I can't find an answer to work.

  Basically, I installed a printer on my machine here Win7Pro.  The printer can be printed from various applications.  However, the printer does NOT appear under devices and printers.  The printer appears under print management.

  The printer is an Epson color Stylus 2200 connected via USB.  The computer is a Dell D620 Laptop.  Win7 has been properly installed - no upgrade.  The printer is visible (for example) of Corel Paint Shop Pro X 2.

  Anyone has any ideas what setting I need to enable the visibility of printer under devices and printers?  Is there something other wrong here?  It's easily fixable?

  UPDATE: I just added a shared printer (connected to a WinXP machine brother 7040) networking for this laptop Win7 and it isn't too visible under devices and printers.  However, what is different here is that this printer is also not visible under the management of printing.

  Network connections are not in print management.  They should appear in printers and devices IS very disconcerting.  Normally, this will occur if the print spooler service is not running, but then your local machine would be displayed with a red indicator in printing management.

  I guess that you have a standard USB and not a parallel converter cable USB cable.

  Check the security settings for the properties of the printer.  Make sure that your user account is listed at least print access.  Devices and printers opens with the standard user security token.

• 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.

• Printers are not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

  I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium (x 64) for Windows 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade went quite well, but none of my printers did not work after the upgrade.  The software warned me that for my Brother HL-1240 driver could be a problem, so I wasn't surprised, but my HP Inkject 2230 Business also did not work.

  The two initially appear in devices and printers.  But I deleted and reinstalled to get the upgraded drivers.  As I did, I realized that I had given wrong directions LPT ports to two printers.  However, now, printers do not appear in devices and printers, but appear when you access via other software.  I need to remove so that I can redirect the output to the correct printer, but can not find anywhere to remove.

  Help!

  Steve

  Most likely devices are appearing as part of the computer or the parallel card in devices and printers.  Do a right click of the side card or computer, if you have a printer properties menu item is the printer you are looking for.  If you have ultimate or use Pro printmanagement.msc whenever you need to change something with local printers.

• Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

  I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

  It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

  .. .for a while.

  About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

  I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

  I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!

• Why does my drive usb 2.0 portable external hard appear under devices and printers and not under computer (Windows 7)?

  I have been using this Toshiba 750 GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive to clone my computer with NTI echo regularly, but now I want to use the player to launch mirror Carbonite image on.  Because the player was not visible under 'Computer' on my machine, I tried the portable player to the computer for Windows 7 to my wife where it displays correctly and I was able to do a full format of the portable drive.  Despite this, my computer is not displayed under 'Computer' portable player, but it appears under "devices and printers"...    Thank you for your understanding!

  Thank you for your helpful answer.  I tried all through and including uninstall NTI Echo without any resolution.

  During the process, I found myself 'Computer management' which includes 'Disk management' where I saw the external hard drive in 'offline' status due to a conflict of signature.  I clicked to the external drive to go "online" and now, it seems to work fine and is visible to E:
