Deskjet 2541 Not Installing

I have tried to install my deskjet 2541 multiple times and keep getting an error saying the object already exists. I have tried to follow the trouble shooting steps and it's not working still. I have tried to use the disk provided to install it as well as download from the website. Any further suggestions?

3) printer worked on win XP, after migration of win 7 system can't detect it.

Hello @Skatuser , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing USB installation issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend following USB Printer Installation Troubleshooting.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

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.

Hp deskjet 2514 driver install issue

My deskjet 2514 driver will not install properly from the website or cd provided and this is very upsetting. I can't not use the printer from my laptop running window 7 at this point in time. I have runned the install wizard and troubleshooter and still can't get the driver installed and I have had no issues with a different hp deskjet1000c on my desktop running WinXP. I need to know as to why the driver is not installing at all. I saved the driver onto another cd (blank) to try it and still fails to install. How can this happen when the printer is brand new from the store and is useless.

I have the same exact problem. I get driver 82801EB 24D2 during the initial install, then I went to troubleshoot and it says it found the problem and to install again and each time it gets the same driver issue but a different ending suffix. it goes from 24D2 to 24D7 and 24Dx.

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

Password for HP deskjet 2541 all in one

I can't conect my HP Deskjet 2541 all-in-one to my tablet surface. Is it a problem that it has windows RT 8? My surface can find the printer, but then, when I try to set it up, it ask me for a printer password? HELP!!!!! I can not believe how difficult could be to set up a wireless printer!

How do you find direct wireless password once you have already printed info page once? Daughter accidentially threw the info sheet away

Hi,
You may locate the Wireless Direct password by clicking the Wireless Direct button () for 3 seconds, a Wireless Direct report will be printed, including the password.
If you have a router, connect to the printer first and then browse to http://192.168.223.1
Open the Network tab and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your router, then reconnect your tablet to your wireless router.

Deskjet 1010 not printing

I've just bought a Deskjet 1010, I've installed the drivers from the disk, but I'can't print a single page. I've tried to disintall and install again, I've tried the Print&Scan doctor (it seems everything allright but I can't print anything)
The only result I've reached is the print cartridge alignement result page.
What can I do?
Please help me...

Oooops, it was my fault. I had not installed the Service Pack2 of the OS. Now it works well.

Well, where do I begin! Got my 1st Ipod 2 days ago & still unable to use it! I have installed & uninstalled the itunes 7 software numerous times. On phone w/ Apple for 1 hour...followed by online chat help w/ Dell.
I've tryed 4 different USB ports on my computer. The device Manager shows the Ipod w/ a ? and a ! in yellow. The add new hardware tells me, "Drivers for this device are not installed. Code 28." My computer reconizes that the ipod is plugged in, but will not do anything. There is no communication between the 2. Keeps telling me to insert cd for software for ipod.

A few weeks ago I had to reinstall itunes on my PC because the latest itunes update did not install properly. Ever since doing that something called Mobile Me keeps popping up whenever I open email (outlook) and slowing it down. How do I remove MobileMe

A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it. I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod. However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program. This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email. From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes. I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC. I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it. Any suggestions on how this can be removed?

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

After the last update for OSX 10.9.5, I get messages stating that I need to re-install the update because it did not install properly - How do I do this

On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update. I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?

You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update (Combo)

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Elements Organizer does not install when reinstalling PSE10

I have a problem that I cannot seem to resolve. Previously Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 had been running flawlessly on my computer and was easily opened by clicking the desktop icon which had a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe" target. After uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 10, when I click on the Desktop icon to start the application, I get a dialog box that says "The item 'Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly". If I right click the Photoshop Elements 10 desktop icon and check properties, the Target says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe". When I open Explorer and navigate to where the target says the application file should be, the "Elements 10 Organizer" directory does not exist. The only directory that does exist is the "Photoshop Elements 10" directory and it contains the 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Yes if I click on that file the Editor opens, however when I try to load the Organizer workspace once the editor is open, it does not load because the entire folder and application is missing. I even tried searching the entire C-Drive to find the Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe file but it was nowhere to be found.
To be specific, I had PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10 installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 computer. I decided to uninstall PSE8 & 9 because I had just purchased PSE12 and wanted to make room for the PSE12 installation. When I tried to first uninstall PSE8, the uninstaller stopped with the warning that PSE8 was installed in the same directory as PSE10. The uninstall then terminated when I clicked on OK. Next tried to uninstall PSE9 and received the same warning and uninstaller termination. The same thing happened when I tried to uninstall PSE10. Faced with the situation that all three products were installed in the same directory and would not uninstall individually, I found it necessary to uninstall all three applications manually according to the directions on the Adobe's knowledgebase.
To uninstall PSE8, PSE9, & PSE10, first thing I did was create a system restore point which is something I always do just in case something goes wrong. Then starting with PSE8, I first printed out the Photoshop Elements Help "Manually remove Photoshop Elements 8 | Windows that I found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/826/cpsid_82673.html. Subsequently I printed out the directions for each product, PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10, are all on the Adobe website. Next I followed the directions contained in each article except for running the product uninstaller as I mentioned above and removed all three applications then rebooted my machine.
Next I reinstalled PSE10 and tried to open it only to find that it did not fully install especially the Elements Organizer. As mentioned you can open the Editor by going directly to the executable file however you cannot access the Organizer because it did not install and cannot be found anywhere on the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE10 five time now each time using the product Uninstaller plus the "Manually remove PSE10" directions and I still cannot get the Elements Organizer to install.
My question is does Adobe have a utility that can be run after manually installing a specific product that would find registry entries that were not removed after completing the manual removal process? The problem I see is the manual removal process which shows possible registry entries to remove manually is built on the assumption that you were able to run the Uninstaller which is not the case with my problem.
Secondly does anyone have any suggestions on how to install both the PSE10 Organizer and Editor?

I believe I found a solution but I need help in changing some of the parameters to reflect for a United States program install.
If you go to "Elements 10 Organizer is not installed [SOLUTION]" at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4745941 you will note the Poster says it is possible to force the install of Elements Organizer 10 by using the command line:
msiexec /i "E:\Adobe Photoshop Elements 10\ElementsOrganizer\Elements 10 Organizer.msi" TRANSFORMS=1031.mst ELEMENTS_DE_DE=1 ORGANIZER_DE_DE=1 STARTWATCHSERVICE=1 SUPPRESSREBOOT=0 NOT_STANDALONE=1 /l*v "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OrganizerInstall.log".
I found that the above command line input does in fact start the setup for the PSE10 "Elements Organizer" Installer except it is in a language other than English.
Is there anyone familiar enough with coding and command line prompts to change whatever paramenters are necessary to have the installer run in English.
Hopefully there are some Adobe Staff monitoring this message that can answer the question for me.

Can not locate Workgroup Manager; possibly not installed?

Here's the story:
I'm trying to get my new camera software installed and one of the steps is to launch Image capture.
Image capture gives me an error saying: "No Image Capture Device connected."
Apple says to fix this I need to open Workgroup Manager (in /Applications/Server/) and change some preferences.
But, I can not find Workgroup Manager for the life of me. I used spotlight with no luck. I also don't have a folder in Applications titled Server. This worries me and makes me wonder if the program could have been deleted or not installed at all?
Any suggestions on how to find WgM would be welcome.

Whoa... somebody got confused someplace... I wouldn't guess you are running OSX Server on a MacBook, but the oSX CXlient instead, so no idea how Apple came up wih that solution.
You likely should not have a Server folder there, nor the APP they speak of.
What kind of Camera exactly, and how does it connect?
