Laptop with window 7 won't print to network HP printer
purchased a Toshiba Laptop and cannot get it to print to my HP PSC 750 network printer. I have downloaded the drivers and made sure it was compatiable with that printer. It installed the printer with no problem. It shows "ready" but when I send a test print or any other type of document to it it will go to the que and shows "printing error" When I troubleshoot it shows that there are jobs in the que and needs to be cleared....but when I do that and try another test page I get the same scenario. I have also turned off the firewall to my desktop and tried to print. I have a desktop with XP home and 2 other laptops with XP and all three of them will print to that printer. I contacted the Geek Squad and they don't have a fix either. Is it something with the new Window 7? HELP! I have spent about 10 hours trying to get this printer to work and about have given up!
Many Vista driver are compatible with Windows 7, have you tried installing these? Then, have you tried to make windows search for new drivers? It has even compatible ones, they could work. You can force your windows to search for new drivers even pluggin your printer directly to your pc, once the're installed, you can make the connection procedure to the printer in LAN.
Excuse me if my English is not perfect..

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
ThanksA couple of other things you might like to try :-
- Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ? Can you access the Windows 8 store ? ) If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection. If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
- Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
- Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
- As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall.
One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did. I'm using it now ! -

I have an airport extreme. i am trying to connect a laptop with windows 7 to a wireless printer, with no luck. any ideas?
The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan. -

Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I had an early version of Photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the Photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older Photoshop?
I think you mean Photoshop CS2. Photoshop 2 is from around 1992. The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?
How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?
You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer. The setup is done as part of the installation.
Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed. There is a video to assist - see below!
Install Printer Driver / Software
If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues. There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success.
You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS. For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System. If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
(Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
Software controls the programs that interact with the User
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Officejet Pro 8500 Series
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
NOTE: You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s). The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool. Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
NOTE: If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step. During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software: The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software. Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in. After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed. Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTES:
If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates - check Category - Update. The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware. Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

HP FQ834UT USB Universal Docking Station software won't work on my HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit
I am using Windows 7 and when i went to load software for my docking station, HP FQ834UT USB Universal Docking Station, it said it couldn't use the driver. Is there a software upgrade to allow this driver to work on a HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit operating system?
I have the same issue - I have it installed on my Windows 7 64-bit machine and although it is running, it doesn't work. I am sitting here in Starbucks, which has a Verizon Wifi hotspot (actually Boingo - which is what Verizon Wi-Fi uses) and the "Connect" box does not appear. I had the same issue at an airport recently. It's one of the worse pieces of software I have had the misfortune to use. When it fails to connect, it causes the Wifi connection to drop (incompatibility with Lenovo Access Connections, maybe). I don't think that Verizon understands the meaning of "QA" and "Software Testing".

I am running a laptop with windows 7 and am trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and it wont let me save as anything. Can someone please help me with this?
A screenshot of your Photoshop work area showing the open file you want to save as, the Layers panel open, and the Save as... dialog open might give us a clue as to what is going on.
To take a screenshot and save it as a file
For Windows 7, Printscreen, open a New File in Photoshop, Ctrl v to paste, then save as jpeg (the other trick was for windows 8)
Use the Camera icon on your reply to upload it.
Also File > Save for Web is a good workaround if you just need a jpeg, png, or gif.

Why does new PSE 8 and 9 both crash on my new Toshiba laptop with Windows 7?
I bought new PSE Elements 8 and 9 and both crashed immediately on my new Toshiba Satellite P 755 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS. I tried going into Properties of PSE 9 and going to Compatability and putting in Windows 7 but it didn't do any good. Please help!
Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
