Compaq Elite 8300 All-in-One, Windows 7 Prof Caps Lock on or off freezes typing

I have bought a brand new HP8300 & find that when I use the cap lock, either on or off, it freezes typing & I have to reposition the cursor to restart typing. Being a touch typist & typing many schedules & reports this is becoming annoying. Tried various Windows settings & 3 keyboards wireless & wired & it happens with all. HP Tech advised me to try resetting the BIOS to default which cures the problem, but then during the day it reoccurs again. Restart causes it to default back to the fault unless the BIOS is reset first. Anyone heard of this? Is this a BIOS fault, any ideas what I can do please. Thanks

Thanks for your help, did try it but unfortunately it made no difference. The BIOS setting back to default seemed to be the only way to stop the problem, but then it returned as soon as the pc started up again. Eventually HP replaced the BIOS and I reinstalled Windows 7 which has cured it so far. The pc was the business edition by the way. Thanks again

I have an HP PSC 1410v All in one - Windows 7 Prof. w XP compatabilty : worse: I can't save anything

In trying to salvage the editing program "Image Zone" express and HP Solution Center to do scanning and
editing, I upgraded to Windows 7 professional with XP compatability as I had read online, but it's
a complete nightmare.
The XP program cannot scan from the printer, (HP ALL IN ONE: HP PSC 1410v), I have to go through Windows 7 and transfer it to my "z" drive and work with the image there.
I had my computer salesman's tech at my vendors talk me through
getting a scanned image from Windows 7 useable in the XP mode / Image Zone mode where I could edit, but once I
was able to edit there was no way to save it. IT WILL NOT SAVE. I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE THAT THE FILE
IS NOT CORRECT OR THE DISK DOESN'T EXIST OR OTHER SUCH MESSAGES.
sO IT'S USELESS IF I CANNOT SAVE MY EDITS. ALSO IN PULLING UP A PREVIOUSLY SCANNED DOCUMENT
THE QUALITY LOOKS INFERIOR AND WITH THE PRESENT SETTINGS IS UNEDITIBLE.
WAS SOMETHING LOST OR CHANGED IN THE TRANSFER OF THE IMAGE Zone 5.3 ? .
This was a waste of nearly $300 for me to go from Windows 7 to Prof. version wXP just for something that
doesnt work.

Hi,
Indeed the provided functionality offered by Windows Image Aquision scanning is more limited and does not PDF support.
If you Have MS Office you might be able to scan PDF files with it in some of the editions (I believe MSOffice should support WIA scanners as well):
For example, Office 2007 can provide those capabilities as you may see within the linked document.
You may also check 3rd party software (as VueScan for example) which support your scanner and provide PDF and OCR scan capabilities.
For ink level, i believe the Extended Self Test report should provide the ink levels, however i'm not perfectly sure.
You may try printing a report as following:
Press Setup and Start Color . Press the Right Arrow to scroll to Model Number and Press Enter or OK
You will not be able to get any functionality back, as te device does is not fully compatible with Windows7..
Hope it helps,
Shlomi

HP compaq elite 8300 Display port options

HI
I can't get picture from HP compaq elite 8300 minitower DisplayPort at all. I have only adapter DP -> DVI, and DVI - DVI cable between HP LP2465 monitor, because there is only DVI inputs. I think, that Elite 8300 give only VGA- signal...
shall I get and try DP -> VGA adapter, and then VGA - DVI cable (my monitor can take VGA signal through DVI port)?
VGA port work for me with VGA-DVI cable, but need 2 monitor. I have Intel® Core™ i5-3570 Processor in my mobo... Aclac
This question was solved.

OKAY... my mistake. When I done some researching, I got the point to my broblem. HP compaq elite 8300 minitower manuals have complicated told and hard to find how, and what signal each video port send an my minitower. I find out that, DP port send digital, and VGA send analog. My monitor ports are both DVI, but only first can handle digital signal, and I tried port 2... of cource! I change DVI connection to port 1 and voila', I got picture. - Aclac

There are a few ways to print from your Android phone to your HP printer.
Send an email from your phone to your printer's ePrint address (ex. [email protected]).
Download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from the Android Market to print photos and documents to your HP printer over your wireless network or through ePrint.
If you need assistance with either method of printing, please post again.

Safari browser-how to keep tabs all in one window

How do I keep the tabs all in one window like you do with the Opera browser. It's the one thing keeping me from using Safari. I asked this question about one year ago and I tried something but it didn't work and then it caused problems with my Desktop and with other functions of my computer. Since then, I have updated the operating system (10.6.8) and the Safari browser 5.0.5.
Is there an easy way of doing that? I often have 30 or more tabs open at the one time and I do not like to scroll or use the arrows or whatever to see the last ones. I prefer to have them in the one window.
I am asking because I found Safari the fastest browser to use and would like to keep using it. The tabs thing though is the deal-breaker for me.

I don't need a keyboard shortcut; I want to see all the tabs in the one window. I don't want to have to click on the arrow to see the other tabs.
For example if I open thirty tabs, I want to see all 30 tabs at the top in the one window. So I can click on any tab to open it right in the window without having to click on the arrow to get a list of tabs.
And how did you create those 30 tabs in the first place? Once upon a time you opened them one by one (cmd-t or open a link into a new tab). And they must have been layed out one next to the other. But there's a limit and that's you browser's window width. So the browser must make some convention to handling a large number of tabs. Safari shrinks the titles up to some minimum and then creates a list for the excess. I use firefox and have an addon (TabMixPlus) which allows me to have all my tabs in multiple rows, for example,
Maybe safari has an addon to do this, maybe not. A quick google search did not turn up any safari addon for this. So if there isn't any, you'll just have to decide if you can justify safari's "faster" speed with the inconvenience of selecting some of the tabs from a list.

Psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit,

psc 2110 all-in-one, Windows Vista 32-bit, Tried to scan and now printer will not scan or print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. HP diagnostic said I needed a new driver and HP by passes that request.
Scanner hasn't worked very well since I put the printer on Vista. How do I get a download for a new driver from HP?

Hello 2_old ,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back" to the HP Forums.
I see that you are receiving an error message about the left ink cartridge on the printer.
It is possible that the ink cartridge is low or even empty.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the error is still on the printer after the unit has been connected to a wall outlet, I suggest you try another cartridge.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

You will not be able to upgrade that PSU, model # 508154-001. It is not possible with those connectors. The most absurd item was that the hardware (drives) actually are powered off the motherboard. (Just like you said).

My text tool is all in capital letters even though caps lock is off.

My text tool is all in capital letters even though the caps lock button is off. Also I cannot click on the set fond style button. What seems to be the problem?

Hi Neale --
I am having the exact same issue, and it's a problem with any & all fonts I've tried. Of course, my keyboard's CAPS LOCK feature is OFF -- and I've tried many different font styles, nearly all of which allow for standard, non-ALL-CAPS usage.
I'm intending to use Century Gothic for the work I'm doing right now, but it's been an ongoing issue for at least a few weeks -- but I know I never had an issue with this before recently. (Note that I typically don't use or need the text tool for most of the photo editing work that I do w/PSE, so I'm not sure how long this has been an issue.)
In addition, I would like to access other font-setting-related features, like kerning, character spacing, small caps, & other adjustments, etc. -- but I don't see ANYWHERE within the program (or on this forum...or online) how to adjust these relatively standard settings.
Please help

L7780 All in One - Windows 7 Clean Install - Error when printing

I have a huge problem with a failry new L7780 all in one. I has stopped printing from my laptop. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 with a clean install from Vista....ergo I formated the disk and then reinstalled Windows 7 . And, now every time I print I get the following message "the job has failed due to an error on the printing system"
The printer is selected as default.
The printer does connect through wireless onto my network , and does appear on my PC as connected. However, once I press print after a few seconds it seems to disappear.
I have not altered any network settings and MAC address is off on my router. It was working fine on 2 Home pc's running XP, worked great with Vista. And its only this one Laptop with Windows 7 that can't print to it for some reason.
However, sometimes when I have shutdown...all of a sudden it prints out what I asked it to 30 minutes ago.
I have tried installed and re-installing drivers.
I have tried forced start ups .
Switching it off at the mains.
Resetting the network adpater.
I can only think at this stage there is a compatibility issue with Windows 7.
Any clues? Any help anyone can offer.
Cheers,
Steve

If this sounds like your issue:
After installing the product on a network, you turn the computer off, and then on, and the product loses functionality. The product no longer prints and the product icon disappears from the Devices and Printers menu in Windows 7 (64-bit).

Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Windows 8 driver not working

Hello!
I recently got a new Dell Inspiron computer running the 64-bit version of Windows 8, and I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer from a long time ago. I don't have the disc version of the driver, since I purchased the printer before Windows 8 came out, so I tried to download it from the HP website. Whenever I try to run it, however, it says that it is extracting, but once the extract is finished, nothing happens. The Installation Wizard doesn't pop up, and there is no error message explaing it. Help please?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Can I check if your Officejet Pro 8500 is A909 or A910? Alternatively, you can install the class driver built into Windows 8 to print to your printer. There are also a couple of Windows Store apps (HP AiO Remote and HP Scan and Capture) that would work with your printer.

I have an HP C6300 All In One Printer (wireless). It is always going "Off-line".

We have an HP C6300 All In One Printer that is wireless. We try and set the Properties on the laptops to "Use Off-Line" but that does not help. At points some of the laptops work and some don't. Now none of the computers can print. I have unplugged the printer and re-assigned it to my wireless network and nothing is working. we are out of warranty so I would have to pay for any tech support which is probably more than the printer cost, so if I cannot solve this I am getting rid of this printer!!

HI,
You should be able to just leave it on, it should have a sleep mode which it will enter after a while.

HP C4180 all-in-one, Windows Vista 64-bit, purple in photo prints out looking like blue

Driving me crazy. School colors are purple and white. Anytime I print a photo of our football team, the purple turns out blue. HELP!!

I have the same freaking problem and I have this problem on two of the 3 computers I have it installed on. One of the computers is a 64 bit windows 7 Ultimate and the other is 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a feeling that it is caused by uninstalling and reinstalling to many times or using a recovery software program, and as I know HP doesn't have a uninstall utility for the C309a series printer that uninstall everything, including the registry keys. And I'll bet that is where the problem lies. If anyone know a fix for this problem PLEASE LET US KNOW!
