F4140 not working. cant remove, software says it's not installed but then wont re-install

The printer isn't working so I want to remove and re-install BUT the printer is not in Add/Remove Programs (I have XP).  I downloaded the complete install package and tried to uninstall it that way, but the unistall program says nothing is installed.  So I tried to install it but it says the software is already installed and doesn't install anything. I am really stuck this time.  I wish HP had a "cleaner" utility because obviously the registry or something is out of synch.  Please HELP!

Hey there,
Here is how you can uninstall using the scrubber that is built into the software. I included both options on how to access the scrubber. Just choose whatever option is easiest for you.
Option 1: From Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-64285-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
Option 2: If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Type %temp% in the run field
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-64285-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
Hope this helps!

    'appeared' elements 4.0(c2006) installed but then won't import photo to work area & says id/serial no. or company name are invalid(no reason they should be and the company address wasn't i think a required field-it seemed to have gone through anyway).
    I called up Adobe and they do not support for anything pre Photoshop Elements 8.0. The menu bar is all greyed out so cannot do anything there but the photoshop elements icon is sitting in my dock and the work station screen fills my screen-

    If you have a mac, forget it. PSE 6 is the earliest version that will install sucessfully and run without trouble in 10.6 or 10.7. If you have PSE 4 installed when you upgrade to 10.6 it will continue to run but the installer just doesn't work in recent versions of OS X, so you can't reinstall it if you need to do so.

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

  • Firefox 4 search bar and "Tips" bar are blank windows that do not work. Removed F4 and downloaded again three times but no joy. Gone back to F 3.6.17.

    On Firefox 4 home page the "Tips" bar and search bar above it
    are both blank windows. The search bar does not say Google on left side. I can type in search bar but when I click on search nothing happens. ( Desktop XP Pro)
    On my Laptop (XP home edition) Firefox 4 works fine and I have not found any faults so far.
    It's a shame losing RealPlayer downloader for YouTube. I have to go to IE for that.

    Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
    Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
    Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
    I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
    :| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
    Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

  • The redemption code they sent me in an email does not work...it says it is not active and to contact the store i purchased it from? Adobe is the one who sent this to me and i cannot get in touch with anyone. Very frustrated

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Face time is not working between our 2 touches.  It pops up but then does not give you time to accept??  Does it matter they are registered both at the same email?

    I have 2 touches for our kids to share.  the 11 yr old has her own email but apple said she is too young to have a registered itunes account so i put them both under my account.  is that causing me problems?  kids just want to face time???

    When all this is going on can you open and surf the web on the browser?
    All your errors can be from no internet connection also.
    It seems wide spread it could also be from a update to facetime possibly.

  • Installer does not launch LR 5.7 It makes a feeble attempt but then quits without installing the downloads. How can I correct this?

    Hi: I have been trying for several hours, in fact all day and into the late evening, trying to get Creative Cloud back to its usually helpful self. My older laptop finally gave up on me but it still holds over 2000 of my recent images and I want to get them back unto a working version of LR. .
    I am in Florida and my desktop is in my house in Ontario, Canada. So I picked up another Windows 7 ACER laptop. Actually it was a Xmas gift for my wife who had been suffering from Windows Hateitis .She has recovered and almost likes 8 now. So I get to play with the newer laptop until we get back up north in late March.
    However the gremlins seem to have got there before me and Creative Cloud's installer just won't do it's job.. It stutters along weakly for a few seconds and then quits without launching a single byte.
    I have downloaded the. exe files but Mulder and Skully are no longer around to solve the mystery.
    Perhaps one of you can.
    Once I get LR on board I can work on getting those 2000 plus raw files from a dead laptop to a hopefully healthy one. At least it is not a hate.
    Regards
    LRNav

  • My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software.  I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

    This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
    I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
    If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

    Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?
