I'm trying to install an Hp LaserJet printer, simple task... but then, after a couple of "next's" in the installation, a message pops up saying i have no administrator privileges... ok, after reading about the famous UAC, it still wont install after disableing it... I also tred moving some of the options on the administrative tools - local security settings... but thre's no way. I have reinstalled Vista a couple of times just in case and still nothing. I'm Runing Windows Vista Ultimate, tried with and with out SP1.
I am trying to install a HP printer on Vista Ultimate.I finally got the compatibility for to XP but now the install says I don't have administrator rights. The user account is an administrtor user account. Tried rebooting, short of booting computer out the door, but I can not get the HP printer to install as I can't get past this hurdle. Auto run will not work and will not install from the run setup.exe. Will not allow this either.
I use a HP LaserJet 1012 printer with two WinXP/2 PCs on a wireless network. I also have a Vista laptop but Vista and the HP 1012 are not compatible. Are there any signs that HP or MS will address this compatibility problem any time soon? Is there a workaround?
I have troubles getting my laserjet 1018 to work with my Vista Home laptop. The printer is set up to my desktop computer wich runs Vista Ultimate and i have shared it in the network. Everything works alright until I adds the printer on my laptop. After that I can't print from any of the computers and the printer que just fills up and i can't empty it. If i reinstall the printer drivers on the desktop computer its start working there again but I cant get it to work propely when i have installed it on the laptop.
I have Vista 64 Ultimate & Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe board.I have tring to hook up a HP 4000n printer with a parallel port. It just won't work. I have tried everything including downloading 64 bit drivers, changing the parallel port settings in the bios, etc. I suspect it has something to do with the port because the printer does not respond at all to anything I do.
If Vista no longer or hasn't been able to install your trusty Laser Jet 1000 printer driver, then you are not alone. The solution is to connect a slower 1.0 USB Hub in between the LaserJet 1000 and Vista. For my particular resolution a Belkin F5U021 USB Hub was the key to success. Once the hub was connected, Vista expeditiously recognized and automatically installed the HP Laser Jet 1000 driver, created for WinXP.....
I have a Vista Desktop that has a wireless router. I have shared a printer, but I would like my Mac laptop to be able to print to it. Do I install the printer driver on the Mac or on the Vista machine? If I install on the Vista machine, is there a special installer? The printer is an HP DeskJet 2445.
I am trying to install software that I downloaded, but cannot. I keep on getting an error message saying I must log in as an administrator. I am the sole owner/user of my laptop.
I have coursework due in tomorrow and i havent used my printer in a while. I've installed a new OS since i've last used it, and assumed it wasn't working because I hadn't installed the software from the CD it came with. Anyway after ages of searching in my loft i find the disk, try to install and it's telling me NTPrint & Print Spooler services are unavailable, please enable them.
Run - services.msc, i try and find both of these services and they ARE NOT THERE! I've done alot of research since then and found out i need to use SC.EXE to kinda create the service, or i could do it through the registry. Only problem is i don't know how!! Please help it's one of my final pieces of coursework i really need this printed! I cant install my printer without enabling the services NTPrint & Print Spooler, but they arn't there. I need some commands or a regedit tweak to create these services. (Note - Please don't ask me to check msconfig or services.msc it is NOT there)
i had high hopes that installing printers on Vista would work better than previous version of windows but as it turns out it is worse! I have an HP P2015dn printer. I hooked it up to my Vista enterprise machine via usb and it was recognized. The wizard took me to a point where it was asking for the driver disk. I dont have the disk so i decided to hit "Cancell" so that it would be recognized and take me to the same prompt in the near future after i had gotten the cd or downloaded the drivers.
I got the cd, plugged in the printer again and this time it says USB Device not recognized. I thought "OK" i will just go to the printers control panel and install from there. Well wouldnt you know, you cant autodetect a usb printer from the printers control panel. It says "USB printers will be auto installed when you plug them in". I went to device manager and removed all usb items including the "unknown device" and rebooted. still no go. how i can clean up the machine to restore it so that the printer is recognized as a printer again? Or how can i do a manual install of a usb printer?
After doing a system recovery on my laptop, I can't print. Everything says the printer and drivers were installed. I could print before the recovery. If I plug USB into the laptop, it prints. When I try to print without the cable, I don't get an error or anything, it just doesn't print. I found something that says to /browse to the Temp folder of your user account, C:Users\AppDataLocalTemp and create a new folder and name it LOW. Then there are other instructions. I can???t find this C:Users, etc. Can anyone tell me exactly how to get there? I'm using Vista.
Can not install a Laser Jet 4l printer using Vista Home Vista x64. When I boot pc it tries to install the driver but i get it can't find the devices. I am using a usb to parrell converted to hook up my printer
I need to get Vista install my HP printer/scanner PSC 950. It recognize the printer and try to install drivers for it, but does not find any drivers. It asks me to input my CD for the printer, and I have tried that with no luck. On HPs website the say that my printer is built in to Vista and that Vista should install it with no problem. This is not true since I cant make Vista install it.I have tried to unplug/plug the USB cabel for the printer, and Vista does the same thing every time, trying to install the driver for it with no success. I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion dv6000.
I have found hundreds of threads on not being able to install a printer on an XP to a Vista machine, but not one about my problem. Home pear to pear workgroup network. 1 Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 2 XP Pro's, 2 XP Home. Lexmark Z600 printer hung off of the Vista PC. Working fine. Trying to use this Lexmark printer as the main printer for one of the XP Home PC's. From the XP Home PC can see the Vista share printer.
When installing, told that this is not the correct print driver & does not install. Solution 1 - Tried installing the standard XP 32 bit driver for this printer on the Vista PC so that the XP machine can download that driver during shared install. Vista says this tyep driver is not correct and will not allow me to install it for network sharing.............
I have Toshiba notebook with Vista. I need to connect HP LaserJet 1160printer. My notebook doesn't detect the printer. How can I install dot4 porton the notebook?
I was able to load Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 without a problem. I was in hopes that it would help me with the issue of trying to print to a networked printer on a shared XP machine from my Vista laptop where I have the SP1 loaded but that was a crock. Still getting error 0x0000000d when trying to connect to the printer after install. I am about to go back to XP and dump this OS. I just can't see how MS can justify not fixing these BIG problems that have been around for a majority of the users since the OS was released. Anybody got a pocket sized printer they will sell me cheap?
Has anyone successfully installed Lexmark X 4500 printer on 32bit Vista Ulimate? I have been at it for a few days also with tech support and so far no luck. I had downloaded the vista driver software from the Lexmark web site *cjb3500-4500en.exe* - it installs the software but cant find the vista driver. I have tried a clean uninstall, reinstalling the drivers, installing the drivers manually with add printers, and nothing has worked!!! also restored the vista to a before point and reinstalled still no use.
I am trying to install this printer (HP Laserjet P2015d) on my Vista 64 machine. It works fine on my XP Pro machine. HP has posted drivers for this OS/printer configuration (HP LaserJet P2015 Printer series*-* Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center).
However, the installation programs does not work. The installation program does not seem to recognize the printer even when the printer is connected and turned on. Ironically the device (occasionally) shows up on the Vista Device manager panel, but not on the printer panel. The installation instruction mentions that the new hardware wizard should pop up on connecting, but it does not.
I contacted HP support (a nightmarish labyrinth of automated messages). After negotiating through this maize for more than 15 minutes, I finally reach a human. Guess what? They want money to fix their own problem! It is hardly a year old.
I can no longer print front to back, looks like I lost the driver that let me do that, the HP drivers and the default don't work. There is an option to print on both sides but nothing happens when I click it. Anyone know the fix?
I have a Toshiba laptop running Vista home basic. I use an HP laserjet 1100 parallel printer which I plug (via a USB-to-parallel converter cable) into a USB hub which feeds into one of the USB ports on my laptop. Very often, when I try to print (Word document, web page, pdf file, anything) nothing happens until I remove the converter cable from the USB hub and then reconnect it. After I have done this, the printer will then work fine from then on, but will then stop working whenever I reboot the computer. If, when I reach the point at which "nothing happens", I remove and rejoin the converter cable from the printer cable, or remove and rejoin the printer cable from the printer, that doesn't solve the problem. And if I have an extension USB cable joining the USB hub to the converter cable, and remove and rejoin the converter cable from the extension cable, that doesn't solve the problem either. The only thing which works is removing the cable from the USB hub and then reinserting it, and this usually works every time. It's not a big problem, but it's irritating to have to scrabble around about the cables. how I might be able to get my printer to start each time without having to fiddle about with the leads?
Trying to get "AMD Overdrive" to run on my computer. No matter how many times I try to add permissions under the main exe, I get "AOD failed to start. Please make sure run it as administrator." It doesnt matter if I shift+right click and "run as" administrator. Anyone know of a thing that could be keeping me? Been trying to get it to work for a week or 2
Setup Vista Ultimate x64. I have the following printer HP color laserjet 2605dn and it won't let me print in duplex mode looked on Hp web site for installation drivers and found nothing, then I found this file EZInstall, but It can't find my printer on the network.
I changed laptops in a docking station and used a drivers CD to install the printer which was attached. Test pages and anything else I try to print goes into the print queue but never prints, finally showing an error. I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and installed them, but this hasn't fixed the problem. The original laptop still prints fine from that docking station. The old laptop was WinXP, this one is Vista. I ran the "FixIt" diagnostics but it said all problems were fixed, and it still won't print.
I now have Vista Home Premium 64bit. My HP Laserjet 1022 prints just fine... BUT it won't let me position the image on the page the way I want it to. Sometimes I have a 16x22-inch image that I need to print full-size--what I've always done in the past (when I had Windows XP) is print it in four different sections. When I would start to print, it would automatically show me how the image was positioned on the page and I could move it around to get it in the right position to print one-quarter at a time. Now it does not give me that option.
We're on a network and all the pcs only have one user and therefore I am administrator of all. One pc now won't let me access stuff. When I try and go into Windows defender or Manage windows start up programs, a window comes up saying "contact Administrator". ?? Can't access folder options either. There's a virus on it (darn kids) which I'm trying to get rid of (despite having McAfee, Windows defender, Ad-Aware and Stinger). Could it be the virus causing this? which is hard of course to get rid of if I can't have any access to security files.
I just puchased a new Gateway computer and printer package. The Gateway is a FX7020 and the printer is a Canon MP210. The OS is Vista Home Premium. I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but the printer software never recognizes the printer and as a result does not complete the installation. I have rebooted as directed, but the problem persists.Here is the history: Prior to installing this new Canon MP210 printer I already had a Canon IP4200. This printer also had problems installing, but I was able to manually configure the printer by going to "Add New Hardware" in the Control Panel, select printers and then select the Canon ip4200 in the list. I configured it for port USB2* that was on the screen. For whatever reason, each time I restarted the computer the "New Hardware" dialog box came up and for many days I would just close and go on.
I did not have any printing problems and things seems to work OK. This morning I select "Don't ask me again" on the "New Hardware" dialog and could not print any longer. So I uninstalled the Canon ip4200 and started over, but this time the USB2* port was not available in the list of ports for the printer in the manual Add Hardware dialog boxes. At this point, I was tired of fooling with the Canon ip4200 and since I had new Canon MP210, I decided to install it and move on...So now you know the full story... I follow the instructions precisely and the drivers will not install. I look in the Add Hardware configuration dialog box and the USB port does not show up. I am guessing that by telling the "New Hardware" box to quit prompting me about the ip4200, it has disabled the USB ports or something.
I?m trying to install a network printer on a Vista machine. Vista is able to locate the printer on the network but when I select it for installation, for some time, Vista tries to connect and then pops up this message: "Failed Connecting to Printer - Access Denied" And then another window pops up with this message: "Spooler Subsystem Application stopped woring and has been closed." In fact the spooler service always stops, so I have to restart it on the services windows, within Administrative Tools of the Control Panel. The machine is new and has been installed yesterday. Everything else works fine. The printer I am trying to install is on a Windows XP Professional machine within the same network (naturally).
I have a Dell PC with XP Home and a Dell A960 Printer attached to it. I also have a new HP Laptop with Vista premium that has also had the same printer attached to it at times so the drivers are installed on HP laptop. I recently installed a router so I can use laptop wirelessly. That works fine. However, I am unable to print to the host printer wirelessly. I get message saying printer cannot communicate with computer. I tried everything I found on Google searches. I have enabled printer sharing on both. Do I have to make the Workgroup names the same and if so do I change the Dell with XP or the HP with Vista? I changed the Dell once to no avail so I changed back. Do computer names have to be same? I am a novice at networking.
