Can't install networked HP LaserJet 3055 on HP Mini

Not a resolution issue. HP mini 1101; Windows XP home SP3. Virus protection and Firewalls off.
HP LaserJet 3055 All-in-one is hard-wired (Ethernet) into wireless router. Mini accessing network wirelessly, and is able to see Internet and other computers on network. Successfully installed printer (using CD) on two desktop computers on the network, both running XP Pro (one wireless and one hard-wired to the router).
Since I don't have a CD drive, I downloaded lj3050x-309x-PCL6-pnp-win-en.exe. I ran the file and installation failed. It kept telling me to make sure the printer is on and connected to the network (yes, and yes).
I downloaded lj3050x-309x-PCL6-pd-win-en.exe and tried to manually install. Wizard can't find the printer (installing as network printer). I ask it to browse, but it only sees Microsoft Windows Network and the sub-item WORKGROUP. Instead of browsing, I type the name of the printer, but it doesn't recognize it.
Printer's name is "Henry". I typed "HP LaserJet 3055 Series PCL 6", "Henry - HP LaserJet 3055 Series PCL 6"  (both with and without spaces and/or underscores), and the IP address of the printer... nothing.
Is there a specific way to type the name of the printer, or a different address I'm supposed to use? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Hi @Memphis-Cat 
It would help if you could post a little more detail. Can you print from NotePad? What happens when you try?
If I understand correctly, you have the printer installed but can not print, is this correct. If you are having difficulty with the install itself, please download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
Also, the Print and Scan Doctor should give you the option to choose your default printer, can you please run it again and let me know the outcome?
Please  let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • My wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?

    Generally YES.
    It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
    Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
    Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
    Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
    After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
    iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
    Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
    That's all.

    PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

  • How can i install 8 gb ram on a mac mini early 2009 when it says i dont need the EFI firmware 2.1?i can only install 4 gb but the side of OWC says i can install 8 gb? what to do?

    i have a mac mini early 2009 and i want to install 8 gb ram but it doesn,t work.
    it says on the OWC site that i have to install the EFI firmware 2.1 update but it won,t let me,it says(the mac mini)that i don,t need this update.
    my kernel is 32bit but my EFI is 64 bit,how can i install 64 bit so i can use the 8GB cause with 32 bit i can,t use more than 4gb ram

    Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM version;
    1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac
    2. Click More Info Under Contents
    3. Select Hardware
    If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
    Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06

  • Can I install "just" windows XP on my mac mini?  no bootcamp. no parallels

    Hi,
    The question is can I (and how can I) install only the windows xp home or professional OS on a mac mini 1.5 core solo (i.e., turning it into a windows only machine). I want to be cIear that I don't want to duel-boot (i.e., boot camp) or use a VM (ie., parallels), but just a regular x86 computer that is running (sigh with me) Windows.
    I imagine that if I do a clean and proper format of the mac mini, start it up and insert the Windows disk, everything will work.
    Another question I have is, after 2 years, will I be able to put OS X back on? (Let's assume I have backed up all my files on an external drive.)
    Mac mini    

    Hi Matthew!
    Boot Camp will be the closest you'll come to your goal. A Mac is afterall intended to run Mac OS software first and foremost and Windows is only a secondary OS. But it is possible to boot into Windows after using Boot Camp to get it installed and then delete the Mac partition. You can always reinstall the Mac OS later.
    Or you can still use Boot Camp to get Windows installed and just never boot back into Mac OS X (leaving it on its own partition). But why have Apple hardware just to do that? You'd be better off selling your Mac Mini and purchasing an Intel machine that will run Windows natively.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Can i install new OS in other laptops of mine?

    I just bought a new 15" retina Macbook pro with factory install Mountain Lion OS, I also have 3 other Apple laptops (1 Air & 13" macbook pro (runnng Lion 10.7), and 15" Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Can I download Mountain Lion OS for free on behalf of new 15" macbook pro I just bought and update for all my other laptops? I heard Apple allows registered owner to download latest OS already installed in one computer to all his/her other older computers for free.
    Please confirm and let me know how to do it.

    No. For your other computers you must buy Mountain Lion once. You can then install it on as many computers as you own. This license is not the same as the one that came with your new computer. That license only allows you to install OS X on that single computer and no others.

    how about Leopard 10.5?
    10.5.8 is fine. Obtaining it may be more difficult.
    You'll need a Leopard retail install disk.
    This info is provided by TexasMacMan, with updates from me;

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). {Note - this is now very unlikely, but no harm in asking}.
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on Amazon MP, eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A , MC094Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A , MC095Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

  • Can't install network printer.. Drivers won't install

    I am currently upgrading my Window XP pro machines to Windows 7 Ultimate "32 bit" I have software on the workstation that is VITAL to operation and no longer available for download and media is destroyed. I was successful in upgrading to Vista
    32 and upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate. The updates all installed and I figured I was home free.. :Not so MUCH: When I try to install any network printer It errors out at point of installing the driver. I am only having this issue on upgrades to Window 7 Ultimate.
    On Machines I only upgraded to Window 7 Professional, the printer install fine.  I am receiving the same error on any printer of any manufacturer, HP, Ricoh ,Canon..... 0x00000f0d...etc.  I have cleaned out the printer and drivers, stopped and
    started print spooler, and am running out of options.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi，
    What is the detailed information of the error message?
    I suggest you install the driver in a compatibility mode, see instructions in the following link
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/80cae5ee-dc98-4a2f-8284-a1ab826059b7/how-to-install-a-hardware-device-driver-using-compatibility-mode
    And it is recommended to view the manufacture website or contact the printer manufacture to check if they have a appropriate printer for Window 7 Ultimate.

  • Can't install Clamxav on new Intel solo core mini

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and also apple mac's having just abandoned Windows after my 3 millionth crash.
    Anyhow, after reading the forums I'm aware viruses aren't such a big deal, if at all, however I'd rather be safe than sorry so I was looking to install clamxav with being free etc. I'm used to getting by on AVG on a PC ie with it being free, I don't do anything online that would mean me getting a virus and have never got one on Windows, just needed that peace of mind.
    I've tried installing Clamxav but it won't install, when I open the .dmg file it asks me to drag the icon to the applications folder, which seems to be ok, but when I double click the icon to run/install the program the icon just bounces in the dock for what seems like forever and I have to force quit the program to make it stop as the program stops responding after a while.
    Does anyone have any ideas and or can anyone recommened another solution? (free if at all possible but don't mind paying, just want to avoid Norton at all costs).

    A response in the ClamXav forums says:
    It doesn't yet work with Intel Macs. Sorry. The new version which does work with them is currently being translated into the various languages and as soon as they all come back to me, I'll release it.
