Windows Vista 32-bit. The printer HP Deskjet 3420 (3600 series) will not work.

Hello

I tried to install drivers several times, and they all install. When I plug in my printer to the computer recognizes the printer, and it seems that the printer works. But as soon as I try to print a test page, it does not work. I think it may have something to do with the configuration of the printer driver. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Mark

Try to run a Microsoft Fix it that automatically diagnoses and repairs printing problems, installation of a printer, connecting to a network printer and other related errors.

b. double-click on Services.   If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. right-click on the print spooler service and then click Properties.

  • Windows will start, the screen starts flashing and then the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL all other functions will not work.

    Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen.  After graduating in the login screen I enter the password.  Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode.  All other functions will not work.

    Thank you

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.

  • Installation: Windows Vista Service Pack 2... Now my computer will not boot

    After you install SP2, my computer starts is no longer.

    When I turn it on, it brings me to a black screen where I can choose to start windows normally or let windows search for a solution to the problem. I tried both - NOTHING WORKS.

    I tried to restore my computer to an earlier date, let windows search for a solution, everything you can possibly do on the options list. Whenever I have let windows start normally, it brings me to a black screen that says "!" 0 x 0000034! "177/76190 (_0000000000000000.cdf - ms).

    I am extremely frustrated. It seems that Microsoft has ruined my computer. Looks like I'm about to become a defender-apple... Unless this issue is resolved as soon as possible.

    Have you tried the system restore, without success.

    See if that will fix your problem:

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • HP Photosmart premium c310, Windows 7 (64 bit) series will not work afterit is turned off and then on again

    I have photosmart all-in-one c310 printer and whenever we have a power outage, the printer will not print at startup power upward. I have spend hours trying to download drivers or updates and check the printer that says it's fine and the computer that says it can't find the driver. The last 2 times I finally got running again, but I did something different every time and I don't remember what it was. I just spent 2 hours on a hamster wheel keeps back me for a download, after you download it twice, I finally understood was the SAME download (the 3rd time I was directed here) and the printer STILL does not work. I'm pulling my hair out and I'm about to throw this worthless piece of scrap metal by the window. Help!

    Are you connected wireless? If so, you will need to reconnect the printer to the network of the SCW wireless on the printer itself. When you have power, he can hit just the printer off of the network from the router and just reconnect.

  • I have a windows xp 32-bit sp3 and a 3CRUSB10075 com 3, which will not recognise wpa2-psk

    I havea PC with Windows XP 32-bit SP3 and my 3CRUSB10075 Wireless will not connect to my modem that has wpa2-psk, it does not even as an option

    I would hazard a guess that this particular wireless does not support this type of encryption. You should check your documentation and should confirm. You have no other choice than to set your router to a supported type.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I get my running again print spooler? 'Microsoft Fix It' will not work.

    Print spooler does not connect. I have trried past in the back way with the steps to search Google for Windows XP. Nothing. Help. Thank you
    War * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    I have no idea (because you do not explain) that "the way back" can be.  It seems vaguely disreputable.  Here's my standard answer.

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

    AntiMailware MalwareBytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

    Cleaning of printers

    NOTE: If after completing step has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Use of the special procedure for printers Lexmark described below and follow in its first Article.  If still no joy, use the alternative method that is linked below.

    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.

    A special procedure for computers that have or had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer.

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)

    Type the following in the black command prompt window and press enter

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS
    output

    Note that there is no space before the =

    If you want to use a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer after having done the above, you will need to reinstall it.
