Deskjet 1512 Printer will not install....

Hi
I have a Deskjet 1512 "All in one" printer.
I have followed the setup and installation instructions down to the last comma- and still some 6.5 hours later- I still have a new printer that does not work.
I am running Windows XP / Service Pack 3 / Dotnet 3.5
I ran the installation disk (provided), made a cup of tea, ticked the boxes, answered the questions.
When prompted (and only when prompted) - connected my Printer and USB lead to the computer... that's where the issues began.
The "Full Feature" whistles and bells software began to try and detect my device.
It was beaten to it by Windows Harward "Wizard" - telling me it had detected a new device....but it could not be installed "Due to a missing Module".
About 2 seconds later - the HP "Full Feature" software spits out it's dummy and tells me to connect my printer and check the USB lead......
So- I replaced ther USB lead with 4 different ones I have spare, as well as try all the various USB ports on my computer.
Still the same issue.
However-
The Scanner had installed- and works fine.
So I attempted a forced "Backdoor" installation of the printer drivers- via Windows Hardware Manager.
This all looked so promising- the Drivers finally looked as if they were installing.
At 99%, the Hardware Manager pop-up informed me that my "device had been install successfully"....
About 1 second later- another pop-up appears- now telling me that it wasn't possible to "complete an action"? and that my "device was not installed".
A brief flick through driver manager showed me that my scanner was installed, but the Printer wasn't.
I completely uninstalled the HP software, and then Dot Net.... cleaned all Temp files, and removed all rogeu Registry Entries.
Then Restarted my computer (after checking that USB 2 was enabled in the Bios- which it was)
I then re-installed the upto date Dot Net (downloaded via HP website), and the Up to date "Full Feature" software (also courtesy of the HP website).....and.....
......still the same.
In short- I have tried:
Removing all previous installations of the HP software and Dot Net 3.5
Reinstalling all of the above
4 x Different USB leads
All the different USB ports on my PC
Swearing and Cursing (usually works with Microsoft Products only)
The only thing I have NOT tried, is Witch Craft and Country Dancing.
Any further suggestions would be much appreciated......
This question was solved.

Hi again
As I have pointed out in my previous postings-
I have updated my version of XP, it's service Packs and also the version of DotNet- which I downloaded from this forum, and have double checked that it is the most up to date- which it is.
I have tried to "Copy" documents on the printer, and it does not do anything.
A warning light (beside the X button) flashes Orange.
I then tried to scan the document as a JPEG image- and that worked fine, it scanned, and saved with no problem whatsover.
I have tried (about 8 times now), the "Device Setup Failed to Complete" - and that pretty much states the obvious things to check when something doesn't work- the same things I have been checking for the last 6 or so days.
The Issue, is something with the software, as the drivers will not install to be able to operate the device correctly- despite attempting Various Uninstalls, Re-installs and manual installs.
In simple terms, installing the driver manually is fine; until it gets to the last stage- and then it stops and windows (kindly) informs me that "My printer was not installed as their was a problem".....it won't state what problem.
By using the HP installer; you go through the processes, and when asked to connect the printer, the HP software doesn't detect it, (though the XP Device Manager does).
I have tried so far:
The Troubleshooting guide (as mentioned above, just seems to state the obvious)
8 Different USB leads of differing lengths.
All 6 of the USB ports on my computer- which otherwise work with other devices.
Un-installing the HP software, cleaning all traces from TEMP files and the Registry, restarting my computer and re-installing.
Manually installing the Printer using Windows Hardware Manager
Copying a document on the Printer - that doesn't work.
Scanning a Document on the Printer (That DOES work)
Ensuring that my version of Windows XP is up to date.
I have the latest version of Dot Not installed- which I have.
Installing "Next Driver down"- which does install the device, but it won't print.
I have been Unable to try another machine as yet, as I don't have another available.
But that I think is my next port of call.
Thanks for your help on this.

My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam.

Deskjet 3050 J610 will not install on Mavericks or new Router

I have had a deskjet 3050 J610 for a couple years and it has worked fine with our MacBook Pro (with the exception of updates) . We recently restored our MacBook and added Mavericks. We also have a new netgear modem/router. We can not connect the printer to our network or to the laptop wirelessly. Here is what has happened so far after spending hours attempting everything we could find online with no sucess......
-I can print from the Mac with a USB cable connected to printer
-I've restored the printers default settings
-Printed the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows our Network
It says my HP printer cannot find the access point.
Everything passed except network name found....this failed
Network status-Offline
embedded web server-http://0.0.0.0 I can't even get to the webpage
network name (SSID)-HPJ610a.0798A0
ip address-not applicable
The blue light for wireless flashes on printer.
When I go to Wireless Menu it says wireless radio is on.
My next option is Settings, Under Settings I have Disable, WPS and Defaults.
Under WPS I get Push Button or PIN......neither worked.
Printer DOES NOT have a wireless setup wizard!
I have checked for updates on the Mac and do not have any (Original CD not compatible with Mavericks). When I go to System Preferences-Print/Scan, it shows the printer as disabled. I tryed downloading software & drivers from HP's website, but when I go to my Applications menu, there is not an HP folder/icon.
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
Currently a full feature software is not available for your products for Mavericks, however there are some other workarounds to connect the printer to your network.
Please follow these steps to create a temporary ad-hoc connection and then set the wireless connection through the printer's EWS page:
On the printer click on Wireless, then select Reset Wireless.
Turn the printer Off and back On.
If the wireless light is not blicking, click the wireless button and turn the Wireless Radio On.
From your Mac click the Wireless icon and then on Join Other Networks.
Click on Show network and connect to the printer SSID which includes J610 as part of its name.
Note: Allow 1-2 minutes to fully establish the temporary connection.
Open Safary, then click the Bonjour menu and select the listed Deskjet 3050.
Note: if there is no Bonjour option at the top menu, click Safary > Preferences > Advanced and check both of the Include Bonjour options at that screen. click OK and the Bonjour menu will appear.
Go to Network / Wireless and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your home network.
On your Mac click the WiFi icon and reconnect the Mac to your home network.
Now both your Mac and the printer are connected to your network, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking the plus sign.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro Printer will not install

Hello All,
I have a new PC - Win 7 Pro x64 - and installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. The printer refuses to install. Gives error:
Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port and Printer. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The operation completed successfully.
I tried the Detect and Repair under Help, and I get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think that will be your solution. The printer driver is not compatible with newer systems, especially 64-bit ones.

C4795 printer will not install on XP Pro x64.

I purchased a C4795 printer recently, and it will not let me install it on XP Pro x64. I have no problems installing on Vista Ultimate x64. I load the disc and it just pops up with a compatibility error. You can download the install package from HPs website for XP x64, but still no luck. Thank You if anyone can help!

Okay, it sounds like the driver may have some corruption. On the MacBook I would do the following.
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete any file showing Canon MP460 xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver that you downloaded from the web. It should be 5.0.2.
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via Bonjour. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.

My epson sx525wd printer will not install/add to printer list on osx lion

I have recently installed osx lion on my macbook and imac and have had a few issues. the most frustrating one is using a new printer i bought, Epson sx525wd which i bought several months ago but hadnt got round to playing with it yet. Maybe my downfall in not installing on Snow Leopard prior to Lion intall.
Anyhow, When trying to add the printer in the printer system preferences panel, both usb connected or wifi, the message that appears is, this printer software is available to download from apple wound you like to download it, i click yes and it says there is not software to download and then wont let me add the printer.
So, i tried downloading the software/drivers and so on from epson, successfully and installed but add printer system preferences panel still asks me to download from software update and again says there isnt any software to download.
So, i tried doing a software update from the apple icon, software update. again no software updates available. Finally i found the CD installation disc that came with the printer thinking i had fool it. to my disappointment i found that the installation software on the disc was not working and said i needed to install rosetta. and to my further disappointment i discovered that lion has discontinued the use of rosetta.....? is this true.
I am unsure what to do...
would it be safe to say that i might have to revert back to snow leopard to install the printer then upgrade to lion again?
can anyone help or at least give suggestions?
Many thanks
Andy

Delete the /Library/Printers/Epson folder. Then try installing the software that you downloaded again. If that doesn't help, you can try downloading the full package of Epson drivers from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900.
It shouldn't be necessary to go back to SL and then to Lion to get this working.
Hope this helps.

Deskjet 3510 printer will not print

I moved to a new house and when I hooked my printer back up it won't print. It acts like it is printing when I tell it to print but no ink goes on the paper. In other words it feeds the paper though and makes the sound like it's printing but it doesn't put ink on the page. I have, however, been able to get it to put ink on the page when I printed a test page and an alignment page. That makes me think that it isn't out of ink, but maybe that is the issue. I am going to buy a new cartiridge but I am wondering if it could be something else.

Hi teach, I seen you have been having an issue with your 3510 not aligning properly and the pages printing out blank. I would recommend you follow this document step by step I will post a link to. You have already replaced the ink cartridges, so you will not need to replace them again unless they are low on ink. Before following these troubleshooting steps, ensure you have the printer plugged directly to a wall outlet.

HP 1510 all in one printer will not install

I have just purchased a new 1510 all in one printer.
I have installed the printer software from the CD supplied.
However when I try to run the printer HP assitant comes on with run time error.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer many times but with the same result

Hello @aka6812 ,
Thanks a lot for the question, now lets get you an answer!
I see you are experiencing a "run time error" when trying to run your printer assistant after installing the HP 1510 software drivers.
Here is a description of what a run time error is. Microsoft Run Time Error
This might be because you have an outdated operating system, anti-virus blocking etc. Please take some time to follow the 3 step procedure to see if that fixes the issue.
Here is also a separate way to download the drivers from the web instead of a disk. Just click the appropriate link - Install / Uninstall software & drivers
Let me know what goes on! Look forward to hearing back from you!

New Printer will not install on my Mac

Hello,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me since I have searched the internet and haven't really found something that has helped. I used to have an old canon computer set up to my mac and it worked great until the printer died. I bought a new canon printer (MP270) and just plugging it in (like I did with the old one) did not work when trying to install it. So then I used the installation CD and my computer will still not recognize that the printer is connected to it. Anyone know what else I can try? I appreciate your help!

Thank you for the advice. My brother recommended I try this first, but I guess he was wrong.

Have you tried looking at the support pages for your printer? that's where you will find the drivers, not here.

Hi Yaugen,
Try these instructions. The main task is to get Windows XP and Win7 to share resources.
Step one: Windows 7 Homegroup must be setup
Printer sharing must be setup in the Homegroup settings, if one of the computers in the network is using Windows 7.
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
4. Click Network and Sharing Center.
5. Click Choose homegroup and sharing options
6. If the Homegroup is not setup, you need to set up your homegroup before continuing.
Step two: Set the Workgroup on each computer
Each computer on the network must be set to the same Workgroup. The workgroup name needs to be changed from the default to a new name.
Windows XP:
1. Click Start.
2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
3. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP.
4. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
5. In System Properties, click the Computer Name tab.
6. Click the Change button.
7. Enter the Workgroup name that is used by your entire network. If you are changing the Workgroup name, use the same name used in Windows 7.
8. Click OK.
9. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
Windows 7:
1. Click Start.
2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
3. The Workgroup is listed in System Properties.
4. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP.
5. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
6. Change your Workgroup in Windows 7 by clicking Change settings.
7. Click the Change button.
8. Enter a new Workgroup name that will be used by your entire network.
9. Click OK.
10. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
Step three: Setup a share account on each computer in the network
Create a common share account on each of the computers, including the computer that is sharing the printer to the rest of the network. This share account must have the same name and password on each computer.
If you decide to use an existing account that appears on each computer all ready, this existing account must be password protected. If you do not want to password protect your default login, create a new share login as described in the following steps.
Windows XP
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click User Accounts
4. Click Create a new account.
5. Enter the same user account name created as the share account on the Windows 7 computer.
6. Click Next.
7. Under “Pick an account type”, select ‘Computer Administrator’.
Note: In Windows XP you must select Computer Administrator in order setup a printer.
8. After you new account is created, select it under ‘pick an account to change’.
9. Click Create a password
10. Enter the same password used when creating the share account on the Windows 7 computer, following the directions on the screen.
11. Click Create Password button.
12. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
13. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
Windows 7
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
4. Click User Accounts
5. Click Manage another account
6. Click Create a new account
7. Select Standard User
Note: The account created should be created with the lowest security setting necessary. Creating the share account as an administrator is discouraged.
8. Enter a new user account name. Use a name that is easy to remember as the account used for sharing resources across your network. For example: ‘ShareAccount’
9. After your new account is created, select it under “Choose the account you would like to change”.
10. Click Create a Password
11. Enter a new password, following the directions on the screen.
12. Click Create Password button.
13. Close any remaining opened windows, making a note of the new account name and password as you will need to create identical accounts and passwords on the other computers on your network.
14. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
15. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
Step Four: Share the printer to the network
The computer that has the printer attached and installed by USB must have the printer shared to the network.
Windows XP
1. Open the printers and faxes folder in Windows XP.
Note: A hand symbol under the icon for the printer indicates it is already shared to the network.
2. Right click on the printer to be shared to the network.
3. Left click on Sharing.
4. Click “If you understand the security risks but want to share printers without running the wizard, click here”.
5. Select “Just enable printer sharing”.
6. Click OK.
7. Select “Share this printer”.
8. If the Share name is acceptable, click OK.
9. If you want to change the Share name, enter a new name. Click OK.
Note: If the Share name entered is longer than 8 characters, you will get a warning that the printer will not be accessible from MS-Dos computers.
Step five: Install the appropriate software for your printer
Install the printer software on the other computers on the network that will need to access the shared printer. Install the correct driver for the printer model for each computer on the network. Not all printers will need to have a driver installed, only newer printers.
1. Check for available drivers – visit the HP website and download available drivers.
Note: Even if you have an install CD for your older HP product, there may be an updated driver for your printer.
2. Launch the driver setup by double-clicking on the downloaded driver.
3. If the driver install process requires you to attach the printer USB cable to continue, click cancel instead. This will roll back the install, but it will leave the driver files installed.
4. Select the USB connection type. Look for the checkbox labeled “Connect later – Do not connect to the printer now. I will connect it later”.
Note: You might have to select USB connection type before the checkbox is visible.
5. Complete the install without attaching the USB cable.
6. After the software is installed, delete any icons created on the desktop. They will not be linked to the shared printer and will only result in errors if used.
Step six: Install the shared printer.
Note: Computers that are not sharing a resource to the network may not show up by name when viewing the entire network.
Windows 7
1. Click Start.
2. Click on Computer.
3. In the lower left pane, click on Network.
4. Double click on the computer that is sharing the printer.
5. Enter the name of your share account as the “User name”.
6. Enter the same password created for the share account.
7. Check the box labeled Remember my credentials.
8. Click OK.
9. Right click on the printer, left click Open.
10. Windows will find the previously loaded driver for the printer and complete the install.

Windows 7 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers

My HP Pavilion p7-1297cb pc which is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers. All my windows updates are current, HP print and scan doctor did not fix it, I also tried MS fix it manager and did not work. When I try to use my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus installation CD or HP's download center, software almost installs, but says print drivers will not install. Also, I tried using USB connection and windows tries to install software, but does not work. Same for HP print driver support. I tried installing 3 different HP printers I had and all had the same issue. Any ideas on why my system will not allow any print drivers to install?

Hi rrfhp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand none of the HP drivers will fully install.
I will be happy to help you.
Are you signed in as the Administrator of the computer?
I would turn off all start up programs to make sure there isn't something blocking the printer.
Click on start, in the search box type in run, enter, then type in msconfig, click OK.
Click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
Then click on the start up tab at the top.
Click on disable all.
Reboot the computer.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software.
Then run the installation again by right clicking on the setup and selecting run as Admininstrator.
Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
Try printing now.
Then go back into msconfig and enable the All Microsoft Services and enable all on the start up tab.
Turn the Antivirus software back on again.
Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
Are you getting any error messages?
