Thought it might be of interest for anyone else with this 5 year old printer to know that on my system it works with XP drivers (downloaded from the Samsung site) but NOT Vista drivers.
Right-click on the driver file, select Troubleshoot Compatibility, and follow the instructions.
I have a computer using Windows 7 professional x64 with all updates current as of last Tuesday, hooked up through a Bell 2wire router (directly wired) and a laptop that is wirelessly connected to the internet through the bell 2wire router. I have a Dell Laser Colour printer on the main computer and can't figure out how to let the laptop share the thing. When I look at adding the laptop to the home group it says it can't discover any computers on the network.
I have a Dell 1720 laser printer that says it is compatible with windows 7 64 bit. Windows update downloads the driver but says there was a problem during installation. I've uninstalled the printer and tried several times to install it, but I get stuck at the same spot. I downloaded the drivers on the dell website and have the same problem, it just will not install.
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser printer that was hooked up to my old computer Windows ME now I have a Windows 7 computer and the printer won't print multiple copies so I have to print 1, then 1, then 1. I tried to download from Brother site didn't work changed USB wires also. Ideas?
A client of mine uses an old dos based database program that can't print to any printer that uses a USB connection, but it works fine with parallel. I've just upgraded them to Windows 7, and some of their printers (which I didn't know at the time, I wish I did), don't have compatible Windows 7 drivers. Does anybody here know of a new model printer that still can use a parallel port and works with windows 7? I know HP Laserjet 1300 works, because they have several of those, but I'm hoping I can find actual new machines (it's a longshot, I know).
All three lights turned ON as soon as i connect my HP Laser jet 1300 printer to my Laptop with OS Windows 7 and does not print anything. It is working well with Windows XP.
My printer is not printing. Everything seems to be perfectly fine (ink, paper, port plugged in) and the status of the Printer Spooler says it is Started and Running (Services). I did a Windows diagnostic on it and it says that nothing's wrong with it.
Can someone for the life of me please explain how i go about updating the driver as the default one seems to print graphics realy badly, compared to what the printer is capable off.
I have tried going to device manager, its not listed or im pretty sure its not.
i have tried going to the printer propertives through the Printer and Devices window, no update driver option there?
I have windows 7 and i've downloaded latest drivers for Samsung ml2240 printer. When I start to install, I got error "the arguments are invalid". How to fix this?
