Color laserjet 2840 and windows 8.1

Hi, i am running HP Pavillion dv9700 entertainment notebook.
Just finished clean installing windows 8.1
Running great so far.
Before i switched from Vista 32 to Windows 8.1 i used this same printer on my machine and i used a software suite from HP called something like (HP Solution center), which allowed me to manage my all-in-one printer functions (print, copy, fax) through a single user interface.
My q, is there a similiar package i can use in windows 8.1.
By default, i can find nothing, and i don't have the solution center software to install again.??
Any advice.

Hi davisj-oaktree, you'll need to repost as the business forums are seperate forums (in fact, you'll probably have to sign up again to post there).

  • Hp color laserjet 2025 and windows 7

    Subject
     I have two hp color laserjets.  Toolbox cannot be installed with windows 7 pro.  Toolbox worked well with windows xp pro. How can I determine amount of remaining color toner and other necessary information without toolbox.  There is no toolbox upgrade on the hp website. 

    The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • HP Color LaserJet 2840 driver missing scanner option

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-In​stall-Setup/How-to-load-the-scanner-driver-for-HP-​...
    Dear Experts
    I have installed a HP Color LaserJet 2840 on windows 7 OS (I am not sure if it supported OS or not ) that was given to me by a friend.
    It is a network printer but the driver that I had installed ( downloaded from HP website ) doesn’t have a scan utility that can be used by any PC connected to my home network.
    What I am doing right now I connected the printer using a USB cable and I am using “Windows Fax and Scan ” option to do scan.
    Printing no problem all PCs are able to print
    Any suggestion how can I overcome this issue ?
    Thanks

    Hello zillah2004,
    I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, for this type of printer, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums. This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue. Good luck.

  • HP Color laserjet 2840 Windows XP (under VMware Fusion on a Mac).

    I have been using this printer succesfully for years and now all of a sudden when installing it to a new machine it keeps giving the error " page to complex" then refuses to print this is the first time i have used it via a usb port as it has always been on the network via a hub. i have tried to revert to the hub but it will not install "no printers found " etc etc.
    Is there a series of key pushes on the printer that will remove everything from memory and allow me to start again?
    i thought i had cured it but a spurious printer keeps installing itself in the printers and faxes (color laserjet 2840:#1
    any advice would be great thanks

    The cable for your card reader has been knocked lose - if you pop the side cover off you can put the cable back on.  If the cable is firmly attached, then the card reader has died.  There was supposed to be a 2830 released that had the fax but no card reader but at some point they canceled that decision.  However the firmware was written for all 3 models, so when the printer sees a fax but no card reader it reports itself as a 2830.
    The squeaking carousel and not pulling from tray 2 means it needs servicing by a genuinely trained HP tech on that particular model.  Tray 2 should be easy enough to fix, but the carousel may need to be realigned and that is not an easy job.  You may have to call around or go out of your way, but find a service center that is certified in this model printer.
    I've worked on this models myself for a couple years - if you think one squeaking carousel is bad, try listening to 4 or 5 of them all at the same time!!!

  • Acrobat 9.0 Scan From HP Color LaserJet 2840 Sheet Feeder

    Running Windows 7 32-bit on HP computer and HP Color LaserJet 2840 all-in-one.
    Attempting to scan from sheet feeder and getting pages clipped at bottom.   Windows Scanner program works correctly.
    The Acrobat 9.0 Pro scanner setup (WIA, not TWAIN) only allows me to select "automatic" paper size - no other paper size options are presented. Acrobat was recently reinstalled; all software is updated to current revision levels.
    Any ideas?

    Experiencing the same issue.  Mac OS X 10.8.5, HP Easy Start Version 1.1.1 (33) Correctly identifies my HP product, searches for and suggests the appropriate drivers (I'm assuming), and fails when clicking Install. Dialog box says the same exact message as the previous post.  Network is obviously working. Can we get direct links to these driver downloads? Essential Software version 4.0.0.32HP Scan version 4.7.0.46  Can't find them anywhere on the HP site. Thanks.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2840 misidentified as 2830

    Hello, Everyone
    We were having problems with our HP Color LaserJet 2840 so I took it to a local computer store for repair.  (The problems were that the printer was squeaking really bad, and tray 2 had ceased working...)  So, I got it back from the shop, and those problems still persist...  But that is a different issue, to be taken up with the store I had it "repaired" at...
    Here is my new problem: I plugged the USB cable back into the printer and put the power cord back where it belonged.  Interestingly, Windows XP decided to not only detect it as a new piece of hardware, but it insisted on detecting it as a  HP Color LaserJet 2830.  Again, we have a "2840", not a "2830"
    I do not know what the difference is between the two models, I just know that Windows XP has never detected this printer as a "2830" before.  I then proceeded to delete all the printers and then re-install the appropriate driver.  Unfortunately, the install failed.  Which, again, has never happened to me before with this printer.  I halfway suspect that if I could get Windows XP to detect this printer as a "2840",which it IS, instead of a "2830", which it is NOT, that perhaps the driver install might work.  But that is sheer opinion
    One reasonable question that you might have is "Are you sure that they gave you YOUR printer back?"  All I know for sure right now is that the model number printed right on the top of the unit says "2840", not "2830"  There was at least one note that someone from our Church taped to the printer.  I will look for that the next time I see the printer...
    So, I have two real questions:
    1. Had this problem ever happened before, and what might be the cause?
    2. And, the BIG QUESTION: How do I get Windows XP to understand that this is a 2840 and not a 2830?
    Thank you for your help

  • How do I scan with my hp color laser 2840 using windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm using an HP color laserjet 2840 all in one printer with my hp Pavilion dv7-6163us laptop.  Before I upgraded to this new computer using windows 7 64 bit addition I was able to scan documents with this multifunction machine.  Now with windows 7 I no longer have this functionality.  When I look at HP's help section they tell me that drivers for the 2840 for printing and scanning are built into windows 7.  How do I get my machine to scan a document?

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • Does HP Color Laserjet 2840 work with Lion?

    I am considering upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion.  Will my HP Color Laserjet 2840 work after the upgrade?

    I don't know if you have sorted this but I posted this elsewhere on the Forum. I have my HP 2840 working fine in Lion. Occasionally the Director software fires up and can't find the printer so I just turn the printer off then on and everything works OK.
    I got a reply from HP who said that they don't make the printer any more and so don't support it. It will only fax and print.
    Here is my post:
    Has anybody had the frustrating time that I have trying to get their precious HP LaserJet all-in-one scanner/fax/printer working under Lion?
    I have spent ages looking over the net and on HP's own site and worked out that formally Apple and HP only support printing on these machines now. The so-called in-built functionality of Lion using Image Capture or Preview etc simply won't work with the HP2840: the HP2840 does not appear as a scanner.
    Anyhow, I also found that the HP site does not sem to have the old drivers any more but fortunately I had them backed up in Time Machine so I found the old driver (LJMFP28x0OSX10.5Update-v8.2.dmg).
    I tried just running install but it falls over quickly as the 'Start here" link is broken. So I dug around the package and found an install app calle Aio. I ran this and after what seemed ages of countless loops and after the installation program closed down every other app running (I've never seen apps closed so quickly but this may be a Lion thing) the Mac re-booted.
    And hey presto! My scanner appears to be working. When it has finished I get the "HP Scan quit unexpectedly" window come up. But otherwise everything seems OK. I then ran the Mac software update and it (re-) installed the HP driver updates and the HP Director program still works and scanning is still available.
    If anyone else needs the .dmg file let me know and I will uplaod it somewhere. I assume you can post here and I will be notified.
    If someone knows more about this problem or can even get HP to do something better about the (lack of) support I'd be delighted to know.
    Good luck!

  • Import *.csv file in phonebook form All-in-One HP Color LaserJet 2840.

    We use a HP all-in-one printer ; HP-Color LaserJet 2840. I should like to use the faxing option of this all-in-one for faxing large numbers of faxes. In other words ; batch-faxing or mailing-faxes.
    It is possible to use the phonebook option in the faxing part of the software that is installed together with the printer-tools ( dirigent). To enter a large number of customers it is possible to use a *.csv file to import the entries to the phonebook. I have made the *.csv file exactly the way suggested in the instruction; It is possible to export the customer entries from programs like Lotes Notes , Outlook , or Outlook Express. So I export it to a *.csv file in a dos-format as well as a windows-format. But everytime when i try to import the file in the HP-phonebook i receive the mention ;
    > "An error has occurred , ...No valid directory entries in this file. Select a file with valid directory  entries."
    Who can help me out this issue.? Every suggestion is possible.
    Another question ; is it possible to use the faxing option of the all-in-one printer for sending large numbers of faxes ? May , someone has experience ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series are 16.4 and are included in 10.6.4.
    Reset your printing system and see if your Mac can find the printer.

  • Cannot scan from HP Color Laserjet 2840 All In One Any Ideas?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with OS 10.5.8 on it.  I recently had my MAC in for service and a full reinstall of the OS was necessary.  I was hoping that once I reinstalled the OS and other programs that everything would work.  Apparently I was wrong.  I could get my HP Color LaserJet 2840 printer working, however I was unable to get the scanning feature to work to scan documents into a folder on my computer.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail.  I looked inside the HP Director program and it showed that no Scanner or Utilities could be accessed.  They were greyed out.  Everything in HP Director was greyed out.  I took a look at the connections on the printer, restarted the printer a couple times, nothing worked.  My printer is connected through my network.  I am unsure what to try next.  Any ideas?

    Have you installed this driver?
