Deskjet 3940 and Vista - cartridge information?

Hi,
I've just got a new notebook with Vista hp installed and I no longer get information coming up on screen showing how much ink there is left in my cartridges; in fact there is no trace of any HP programmes at all even though my printer is connected and functioning normally.
My printer is a deskjet 3940 and when I tried to install from the cd that came with it the process stopped suddenly when, I was told, the required registry keys were not available.
I was advised to download a diagnostic tool, which I did but it didn't affect anything.
Suggestions welcome as to how I install the software associated with the printer. My previous os which accepted the software with no problem was XP pro.
Thanks,
Y.

Hello moxieman,
To change the default print settings, change it in the Printing Preferences from the Printers folder in the Control Panel: open Printers, right click on the D4260 (should be called Deskjet D4200 series I'd think) and then click on Printing Preferences.

Deskjet 980cxi and vista

hi
iv been using vista 64bit for a while now, the printer works but not all features are available, in particular the double sided printing option. in the driver section it says there's no driver support anymore except for the built in vista driver. does hp expect any vista user to a. not use vista or b. buy another printer?
i really miss the double sided printing and im not gonna do any of the above options so is there any workaround this?
This question was solved.

Have you enabled the duplexer? Go to the printers folder, right click on the 980c, Properties, Device Settings, Installable Options, Two-sided printing and set this to Installed, OK.

I have a deskjet 1000 and bought HP 61 cartridges.

I have a deskjet 1000 and bought HP 61 cartridges. The deskjet came with HP 122 cartridges. I tried to install the HP 61 cartridges but the message is "incompatible ink cartridges"

Hi,
You have to use #122 cartridges, I know 61 = 122/2 but this is not the case. Please go to the shop and ask for a replacement.

Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

Please Help... Sync BB8900 with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

I have trawled the web looking for an answer to this question and can't find any answers, please can somebody help me !!!
I have owned my 8900 Curve for about 2 months and love it, I used to sync it with my old computer running Windows XP and Outlook 2007 and had no problems.Unfortunately that computer died and I have upgraded to a new PC unning Windows Vista, my problem is this... When I try to set up the sync options for my calendar,contacts etc I don't get the option to sync it with Outlook, I only get the option to sync it with
1... ASC II Importer/exporter
2...Yahoo.
I rely heavily on my BB being up to date and without this function may as well go back to my old PDA.
I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager a few times and even downloading older versions of it to see if this fixes my problem, all to no avail.
Please,Please can somebody help.
Thank You In Advance.
Stuart

Hi,
By the "media control" I take it your were referring to the Vizkids Post, suggesting the mediad manager not be installed?
I didn't say that, I agree with it, but I didn't say it.

A friendly tip as this is your first thread, The User who suggested that has 4 more posts than you. He is new to the forum as well.
What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007
desktop, to start. You will see the history of the problems reading those subjects. You will see green resolution marked on most
Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past. Be sure to write your search results in you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
That's where the link I posted came from. Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?
I need some specifics on your Vista OS 32 or 64 bit?What version of desktop manage have you tried, removed reinstalled etc.?
Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
The installation was error free?
You setup the your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
you didn't have Outlook.
What steps did you try to resolve the problem?
Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,
Regarding the clean procedure post, The first part of the procedure states:
"To install BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Windows® based computer that
had a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed,
complete the five tasks outlined below. These tasks should also be
completed if the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation or
uninstallation procedures did not complete successfully."
Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old
registrations made by a previous DM installation.
Please let me know what parts are not clear.

Official release of XP and Vista drivers for Satellite Pro P100-465 PSPAEE

When will the drivers be available for both XP and Vista for the PSPAEE? Currently there are drivers for the PSPA4E some of which work, some not, on either operating system. Yes the laptop is preinstalled with the Vista Ugrade and the drivers work but two of the driver apps are blocked by Defender (NDSTRay / ConfigFree and VolControl). I could get no options to enable these (unclassified as yet from MS so they are locked out) I was told to disable Defender by tech-support!
I have tried a clean install of my own version of Vista Business and had driver problems with that as well.
I would like to run XP until Vista is, shall we say, more efficient but would like to use drivers specifically for it so a time-frame would be very useful.
I'd also like to know why there is a plug where a finger-scanner could go underneath the 0 of the number-pad, and a blocked-off lower PCMCIA (PCI-E?) port when neither of these are available as upgrade options? Did I miss those upgrade options or is this a case recycled from another model where they are available? If the latter then that's pretty cheap for a new machine :)

The Toshiba USA site offers comprehensive information on Vista upgrade and drivers for P100/105 machines which include similar ones to those released in the UK/Europe. If you want to be at the bleading edge of technology/take a chance see

Writing file with windows 7 and vista os..

hi,
since i am using Windows XP operating system with Labview, i made a executable file and i trying to install with Windows 7 or Vista OS installed PC.
when my device is detect it will gives the hardware information , that have to save in to the hard disk, where i am usually putting near to my Application
program exe file. using XP will not be any problem its creates and writes the information file.
for the Vista and windows 7 OS has a adminstrative writes it wont allow to create and write a new file where near to application exe file.
is there any method has to set these file for administrative rights on Windows 7 and vista OS?
i am using Labview 8.6 version
Regards,

You would need to log into the computer with an account that has administrative rights. Or, you could configure the application to run under the administrator account. Both of these are Windows operations.
Or, you could fix your code so it doesn't do that.

Wrong driver for Deskjet 3940

I had a paper jam on my Deskjet 3940, but when I cleared the jam, I could not clear the paper jam message and the printer would not print. I uninstalled the printer, then reinstalled it to see if that would handle the problem, but when I tried to print a document, I got an error message for a fax machine instead of a printer. There was no available download for the printer driver on HP's website, so Windows 7 downloaded the drivers automatically. When I connected the printer to another windows 7 machine which I have, it worked perfectly. My device screen on the problem computer shows the 3940 printer with the paper jam message still there, but attempts to print just result in the fax machine error message. Also tried unplugging and plugging back in the printer, but no change there. Can anyone help?

Hello rez33,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with a false Paper Jam error since you cleared a Paper Jam.
Please click on the following link that deals with A 'Mechanism Error' Displays on the Computer (Paper Jam) for HP Deskjet Printers.
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.

Best way to install XP AND Vista

Being an accountant, my girlfriend has no choice BUT to have a windows partition on her macbook. Even worse, she HAS to have XP AND Vista installed. What's the best way to do this?
I assume there's no way to create 2 boot camp partitions on one OS X partition.
But what if I created 3 partitions via Leopard's Disk Utility, using one for OS X, one for XP, and one for Vista?
Or can I only install a windows OS through bootcamp? Meaning no windows without Leopard?
Is my only option to create an extra large boot camp partition and then partition that partition via the windows install?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Just got an x200s with Vista installed. I would love to do a clean install of XP. I've noticed 2 other partitions. Lenovo describes them as ->
C: is your available file storage space.
S: holds critical start up (booting) information.
Q: contains the critical data needed for system recovery.
Okay. So if I want to do a clean install of XP on my system, are either S or Q needed if I never use Vista again? And what would be the best/safest way to install XP on my machine? I don't want to delete anything that cannot be replaced or is vital to functioning of the machine under XP.
Thanks!
im not too sure about "S" but "Q" wont be needed anymore if u dont intend to use Vista anymore. "Q" will restore your system to Vista state if you perform recovery. before you start, remember to backup all the stuff u need. If you have a XP disc, just insert it into the drive (make sure your boot sequence is set to detect optical drive 1st) and perform a format on C drive. avoid using the quick format. after formatting it, just follow the instruction on screen and install XP. i doubt there are any safe method to install XP. pretty straight forward thing.

I have project I want to run and need some information

Hi
I have project I want to run and need some information about technical, consultancy, architecture design
and what I need for this project (hardware and software(
I planning to stream live streaming 24 channels,
The feed is analog from pal STB cable or satellite.
I want to stream in 2 different resolution and bit rates
1. full screen 750-850k
2. 240x360 400-600k
the format is flash h.264
The channels are series, sport, news, and movie.
What recommended card (i have osprey 450e)?
What kind of requirement of computer I need (CPU, MHZ, CORE, RAM).
can i use i7 cpu or xeon cpu?
how many channels i can run in 1 computer?
I need cheap solution for this project around 20-30k$ for hardware.
thnaks

I am working on a similar project.
Actually, i can encode 2 streams in h.264 with a resolution around 640X480 on a Intel Xeon E3120 (2 core) 3.16 GHZ configuration.
OS is a windows XP 32 bits. CPU usage is around 75%.
(note: FMLE instances are run with FMLEcmd not GUI mode)
Does someone know if i can gain performance with windows XP 64bits ?
My goal is to encode 4 streams on a single machine, does someone know if a dual CPU, let's say 2 X (4 core) Xeon, is enough ?
I don't know if FMLE support multiple processor with multiple core configuration.
I am maybe wrong, but after reading this forum, it seems many people have problems using FMLE under windows vista. Do we gain performance on Vista vs XP ?

I have a deskjet D1420 and officejet pro L7780 neither print back to front

I have a HP deskjet D1420 and a HP Officejet Pro L7780 and neither one will print the pages from the back to the front. The option to print back to front has been selected on both printers.
i.e. printing 2 pages and the last page prints first followed by the first page
Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system?
I do not think the D1420 has an automatic duplexer, but the L7780 should be able to be configured for this. See the Vista/Windows 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

Black and magenta cartridges showing up empty on printer

Okay..my printer is a dinosaur. HP 6180 Photosmart. Last night I moved it as I was cleaning. Today when I went to print, the screen of my laptop said that the black and magenta cartridges were empty. I broke up my day, went out and bought and installed new cartridges. Hewlitt Packard brand cartridges purchased from Staples. I am getting the same message. The ink levels on the printer itself show that the black and magenta are full. If anything, it indicates the blue needs to be replaced soon. Have some photos that need printing...help!
Thank you and God bless.

Hi @mrsdider,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that on your laptop screen it is showing that the black and magenta cartridges are empty on your HP Photosmart 6180. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer can make a self-test page. Printing the Self-Test Diagnostic Page.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, if you are using Windows, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Only .m4v files crash computer in iTunes 7.2 and Vista

I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2. The computer will crash constantly if I try to do anything to Library or sync to iPod, but ONLY if it involves a .m4v (video) file. If I remove those files, everything in iTunes and Vista work great. Introduce a .m4v file into it, and you get a blue sreen crash. What am I missing here? Is there an incompatability with iTunes 7.2 and Vista when working with .m4v files, or is there an update, or a plug-in needed? I can't find any info on this topic.
Thanks!
Toshiba Portege M405 Tablet Notebook Windows Vista

Are the m4v files stored on a SATA drive on your system?

SoundBlaster Live! 24 and Vista - Deteriorating Sound Qual

I've recently upgraded to Vista Business, and my system informs me that except for the drivers for an ancient scanner all is working properly.
When playing music (using a Creative SB Li've 24bit card with the most recent driver installed), all starts off well (in fact playback is better than under XP Pro) but the sound quality starts to deteriorate badly, especially when I open a browser. Quite often the browser itself seems to freeze.
I have 3Gb RAM, with a 3.60Ghz P4 processor.
Task Manager tells me that often I am running at 00% of CPU capacity, though the problem seems to occur at lower usage too.
I've checked everything I know to check but just can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything I should be looking at?

Sadly no real progress.
I simply pulled the Soundblaster Live 24 out of the computer and am using the onboard sound instead which at least for me Arch recognized just fine.
I haven't been able to get any suggestions for why the Soundblaster was not working, but I am going to try another sound card a friend lent me and see what happens.
