I have installed the following printers: Epson LX-300+II, HP Laserjet 1010, HP Colour Lasterjet 1515, Canon IP5200.
The printers work and are all displayed from Word, IE, etc, but only one printer shows up in Windows 7 Devices & Printers - usually whichever is selected as default printer. If I remove the displayed printer, it shows me another one. When I first installed, it showed me all the printers, but problems started after I had to remove and reinstall my printers.

I'm about to get a 2 terabyte external hard drive and I would like to move all my user installed programs to it without uninstalling them and reinstalling to the new drive. My question is....1. Is it safe to drag and drop the program files from C: to the new drive, and 2. If it's not a good idea to perform a drag and drop is there another option?

In this tutorial, we demonstrate the new Devices and Printers section of the control panel. This new feature of Windows 7 aims to make it easier to work with and troubleshoot peripheral devices, such as printers, monitors, external storage devices and game controllers. Instead of trying to find your device in a big long list, Devices and Printers tries to assign an icon to it which represents the actual device more clearly.

every time I clicked on my devices and printers section, it will never fully load. The green loading bar will only get so far then it would just sit there and not load anything. Also it won't load no matter which path I take. I have tried to research solutions for this matter such as I have tried putting my bluetooth on enabled, turning off my printer spooler and removing ccleaner but nothing has helped.

I've got a brand new Asus G53jw-A1. I took some settings from my old Asus m50vm-B1 when I bought it. Now when I try to print, the G53 is using the settings of the m50vm and gives me an error saying it can't find a computer named m50vm-B1.
I'm hooking up the G53 to a HP Deskjet 6988 via USB and it won't print or even let me go to Devices and Printers so I can delete all the printers and let Windows recognize them fresh.
I tried searching my registry for all keys "m50vm-B1" and deleted them, then restarted.

The following is an extract from from an Article by Paul Thurrott on his Review of Windows 7
"Devices and Printers Tool
I mentioned this feature in my Windows 7 Beta review, but I'd like to point out again that it's not just Device Manager for Dummies: This new Windows 7 feature can actually find and fix problems with your PC. And it really works. I've used this feature to find missing drivers on two different PCs now, and in both cases a similar search via Device Manager netted no lover at all.
Here's how it works. Launch Devices and Printers (use Start Menu search) and locate any devices with a yellow bang graphic on its icon. Right-click and choose Troubleshoot to launch one of Windows 7's stealthy new features: A troubleshooting infrastructure that links back to Microsoft's data center to always provide the most up-to-date help. The troubleshooter will detect the problem and look for solutions.
And while I can't claim a 100 percent success rate quite yet, it's certainly worked better than device manager: I found a biometric driver and fixed a Bluetooth problem on my laptop, and found a system management bus driver on my desktop using this tool. Nice!

I am having an issue with accessing the Devices and Printers page in Control Panel. Each time I click on it-it never loads (look at the screenie to see my point). This may be due to an issue with my Bluetooth drivers. They install successfully but they can never find a device nor can I open any settings page for the Bluetooth. If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful. This is what is keeping my Windows 7 experience from being perfect.

Are the icons in the Devices and Printers window (Device Stage) replaced immediately upon any system update, or do they just show up and get replaced at random whenever Windows 7 feels like doing it?
I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 on two different machines (Ultimate x64 on one machine and Enterprise x64 on another) and the devices listed show the stock icons even though the drivers for those peripheral units are installed. All "Update" settings are set to recommended and automatic on both machines.
Weird thing is before I re-installed Ultimate on the first machine, the true icons showed up in Devices and Printers for my monitor, keyboard (MS keyboard), Canon scanner, Brother printer... I didn't quite pay attention how/when that happened, but I was pleasantly surprised with the extra access I had by just clicking that life-like icon.
Now, since the re-install, all I get are the stock icons.
Funny thing is when I hit "Properties", say - for the keyboard, which is a Microsoft 3000 kbd, the info simply reads: "Unknown Manufacturer", "HID keyboard Device". The MS drivers are installed though.
Same thing for my monitors (Dell 2209WA). Windows downloaded the drivers, but the properties info shows the monitor as "unknown manufacturer". How weird is that?
Something I'm missing? Or is this Device Stage fubared somehow?

Dell Lap Top, XPS with Windows 7 Ultimate. When I click Start, Devices and Printers, the panel opens as it should in Control Panel ^ Hardware and Sound ^ Devices and Printers but it just sits there and does nothing with the little circle spinning that shows that it is busy. It will just sit there all day doing nothing.

I downloaded the latest Windows update just a bit ago. When the comp rebooted I had an Adobe Flash update (which I installed). Rebooted, then opened Word to print out a document and it couldn't locate any printers. Tried to "Add printer" and got the error "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."Perplexed, I decided to check my printers in Devices and Printers--and it is no longer there! Not that I click on Devices and Printers and it is black--the Devices and Printers option is no longer there when I click on the Start menu.

I installed Windows 7 Professional and the devices and printers windows was loading just fine. Then I noticed that it wouldn't load at all, and just get the green status bar thing across the top of the screen. Here is what I have tried:1. Restarted the Bluetooth support service which is the preferred fix, and that didn't work.2. Created new profile, and the windows appeared. However, as soon as I added a network printer, though the printer works and I got no errors installing, the Devices and Printers window is back to the not loading situation.3. I have downloaded Windows 7 specific drivers for the printer and still the problem occurs only when I add a network printer.Edit: I did want to add this was an upgrade from Vista Business that I performed. I have not, and am trying to avoid, reinstalling the entire OS from an image on the server. I did use CC Cleaner when in Vista, but I wouldn't think that was the issue carried over to 7 when the devices and printers screen works until you add a network printer. Just adding more info and glad to be here!I am on a domain, though I don't think that is the issue

Whenever I try to open "Devices and Printers," the green bar at the top of the next window begins moving from left to right slowly and never completes the trip to the end of the bar and the Devices and Printer window never opens. I have to open "Devices and Printers several times over several days with the same result.

Whenever i enter to Devices and Printers on the laptop it enters immediately but when i do the same in PC (which is way more powerful machine) it enters but has a little (i mean little LITTLE, almost a second xD) but still noticeable delay...So my only guess right now to explain that behaviour is because PC has more usb devices attached to it (3 usb devices), 2 monitors, also the default Fax and XPS printing icons..Is that correct, im being too paranoic??PS: Please post if you have many devices and you have the same behaviourPS2: I attached the same devices that were connected in my pc to the laptop and menu still loads almost immediately in laptop and has a delay in PC.But i've found something, whenever i right click the PC name icon in Devices and Printers in my pc it delays to show the right click menu and doing the same in my laptop and right click in PC name icon it loads menu faste

So my only guess right now to explain that behaviour is because PC has more usb devices attached to it (3 usb devices), 2 monitors, also the default Fax and XPS printing icons..

Ok, i love this feature where Windows 7 recognizes my hardware and adds icons to match ,however not all my products model numbers are available thus rendering the feature useless for external h drives etc.
Question:- is is there any way to give the system this information or to change the default icons manually?

I have a printer icon in "Printers and Devices" that I can't get rid of and I believe that it is causing conflicts with my being able to use my printer correctly, i.e., I have downloaded drivers for my printer but when troubleshoot the correct printer icon, the results show that there is no printer driver installed for my printer. The offending icon is the "HP Universal Printing PCL 5" icon.(Please see the screenshot in the attachment.) I have tried the "Remove Device" option many times, but the icon reappears. Also, frequently, when I click on the IE icon, the page that comes up is blank and I have to go into Tools/Internet Options to get my home page back. I don't know if these problems are related, but I wanted to mention them both in case they are.

How can I rename a game controller in Devices and Printers? I have a saitek p2500 rumble pad controller that the computer is picking up as Cyborg Force Rumble Pad for some reason. I've reinstalled the software for a million times and the programming software for it is also picking it up as Cyborg Force Rumble Pad. Cyborg Force Rumble Pad doesn't exist anywhere on saiteks website. The .INF file nams it saitek p2500 rumble pad. I'm using the latest drivers for the controller. The blue light used to be real bright a few times along with the correct name.
