Deskjet 6122 Printer Assistant Software

The Printer Assistant Software that came with the Deskjet does not work with Windows Vista.  It previously enabled me to view how much ink was in my cartridges.  Any suggestions on how to tell the ink level?

Hi - This isn't an ideal solution since it doesn't show you how much ink is remaining, but it will identify a cartridge that is low on ink.

  • HP Printer Assistant Software Missing Scan Option on DeskJet 2542

    I have installed the Printer Assistant Software on both an HP Desktop and a Lenovo Laptop.  I have two HP DeskJet 2542 Printers in two different physical loactions that I connect to with the Laptop.  On the Desktop computer the install of the software has a SCAN function Button that launches a SCAN mode where I can scan files to PDF, etc.  That option does not appear on the Laptop.  I have re-installed the software on the Laptop and still cannot get that function.  Why?  Makes no sense that it woud install and show up on the Descktop computer, but not the laptop.  Is it because the Desktop is HP and the laptop is Lenovo?  How can I get the SCAN button and functionality in the Printer Assitant software on the Laptop???

    Hi.
    Uninstall the software, then reinstall its latest version from the HP site and not from the supplied CD:

  • HP Printer Assistant software always opens in full-screen mode

    Hi
    I have a large screen and it is just annoying that the HP Printer Assistant software opens in full screen mode and I have to make adjustments to the window to get it out of the way every time I open it. Does anyone have a solution ?

  • Deskjet 960c printer assistant

    Hi Guys
    I am using my old Deskjet 960c with my Windows 7 desktop until I run out of ink cartridges
    I have the drivers in order to print from Windows 7 but can not use the original installation disc to install the desktop icon Printer Assistant
    HP website no longer supports this printer and I just wonder if anyone has any ideas as to whether I can use another software utility to access the printer settings, ink use etc on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer?
    Thanks

    Jackieh2009,
    I am sorry you are having an issue with your HP printer assistant.
    Printer assistant is actually only available for newer HP printers. The only driver that is able to be installed is a windows OS driver. The problem with this is it's a basic driver and doesn't have the functionality to show the ink levels.
    I hope this answered your question.

  • Deskjet 6122 print with only black cartridge?

    I got this oldy but goody through the local Freecycle list (with two sets of full ink!) after finding out it works with Linux and that openprinting.org lists it as working perfectly. Plug and play setup with Ubuntu 14.04, recognized instantly.
    I think it's indicated just by the old school type print cartridge/head, but I should be able to use this one with the black ink cartridge only right? I know newer ones will force you to have both. I like that the cartridge prices for this one are very economical too.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Deskjet 6122 requires an electrically sound black and color cartridge to be installed in the printer to allow printing.  It is not necessary to have ink in all the colors, but both cartridges must be installed.

  • HP deskjet 3070A - 'Printer Assistant' gone missing

    Since using printer to photocopy, the option to access the Printer Assistant has disapeared from the menu  when accessing the device via the control panel on networked devices. 
    The other 3 options 'See What's Printing', 'Set Preferences' & 'Customise Your Printer' remain as before.
    Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling (3 times) with laptop restart before re-installing with CD - but no effect.
    Tried disconnecting router, turning off laptop, turning on printer then re-starting Laptop... no better.
    Laptop running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    Also have separately lost ability to use wirelessly - although worked fine for first few months.

    Hi DSBVIC and welcome to the HP forums!
    You have an Officejet 8500A that no longer has the scan options in the HP Printer Assistant? I'd be happy to help you resolve that issue!
    I will recommend that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Once it reaches the end, after running either Fix Printing or Fix Scanning, you will see a screen similar to the picture below. I'd recommend selecting the Uninstall/Reinstall option and your issue should be resolved.
    Let me know how that goes for you

  • Deskjet 6122 Print color is off

    I have successfully used this printer for many years. I replaced the color ink cartridge 78 (vivera) with a new cartridge (same 78 vivera) because the color was off and it was toward the end of the cartridge and I thought maybe one of the colors was depleted. With the new cartridge that is not expired I am getting the same effect. The green/blue seems to be missing. However, if I clean the ink cartridges it will print correctly. A couple hours later it is back to the color being off. I did all levels of ink cartridge clean, and prime. The black (45 cartridge) is current. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    There has been no changes to the setup, printer connected to single pc (windows xp). I know it's getting to be time for a new printer, but I've got $75 in genuine HP ink in this one and it would be nice to get the use out of it.

    Hopefully, you get a response.  I have the same problem and have posted it.  Something changed in the night.

  • Unable to install printer Deskjet 6122 on windows 7 (64bit)

    I bought a new HP Pavilion Model HPE h8-1237c running Windows 7 Professional (64bit). I’m not having any luck at trying to install my old HP Deskjet 6122 printer. Drivers on disk and newer downloaded ones are not compatible with the 64 bit OS. HP suggests installing drivers for Deskjet 990c as alternative. That didn't work either. This new computer only has USB ports and not the old parallel one like my old Pentium 4 Windows XP computer. The printer does have a USB hookup, but windows doesn't install the printer as plug and play since there are no drivers available. I've tried installing it running Windows Virtual PC in XP Mode. The printer install software runs fine in the virtual mode until it gets to the "print test page." At that point the install fails to find any printer at which time it completely reverses the install.  Pffft ! !
    Help please!      I've been going crazy for two days to solve this problem. I haven't even begun to attempt installing my trusty old HP Scanjet 5530 flatbed scanner. I suspect it will be a similar nightmare as is this current printer dilemma.
    Am I destine to have to buy new hardware that’s compatible with windows 7 (64bit)?
    This question was solved.

    The Deskjet 6122 driver should work fine on Windows 7 using the DEskjet 990c driver, but many folks (myself included) have been having problems getting the Deskjet 990 driver to download from Windows Update.
    You have probably already done the steps here, but if not start with that. If the HP Deskjet 990 does not show up after clicking on Windows Update as shown in step 8 and you get a message that "Windows Update was unable to find a list of devices, try again later" then see the solution here.  If the problem still exists then you can download the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog site, but this is not very easy to use.  If you need to use the catalog site post back here and I will write up some directions.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a printer assistant

    Hi! 
    So, I replaced an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Plus with an HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911. Subsequently the HP Printer Assistant desktop shortcut disappeared from my computer --  and apparently from the computer entirely because it eludes searches as well. So multiple times (like, 20 times) I have removed and reinstalled the printer on this computer because sometimes -- not every time, infuriatingly -- immediately after installing the printer from the online driver, the Printer Assistant opens -- but there doesn't appear to be a way create a desktop shortcut for it. As soon as I close it, it's gone forever, and it's just not practical to have the Printer Assistant open all the time. The next time I want to scan something wirelessly, I have to go through the process again. It's driving me insane.
    Is there any way to download just the HP printer assistant software, or some sneaky way to create a shortcut for it? It's the only efficient way for me to interact with the printer for scanning (the bulk of the printer's usefulness) at my home office, and if I cannot get it to work consistently, this will be the last HP product I buy.
    Thanks in advance!

  • HP Printer Assistant is not working ...keeps loading...

    Hello, I have purchased a HP Officejet Pro 6830  All in One printer and have installed the software from the CD, installed updates and already used the HP Docter software but the Printer Assistant does not load. It keeps on with a blank screen, with the message that the Assistant is loading and Default Text message (see screenshot) it is just that, My system is Win 7 professional and compuer is Asus. The printer and scanner are working but the Printer Assistant software does not work.  My previous printer was also an all in one from HP and it had HP solution Center to manage the printer and scanning process but reading the forum I understand that is not a solution for this problem. 

    Hi,
    Although the issue seems different, try following this document and install the included patch, then check if you may able to load the HP Printer Assistant again:

  • Cant print banner on Deskjet 6122 with Windows 7 64 bit (with driver HP 990c). Please help

    As a teacher, I frequently print banner with my HP Deskjet 6122.  I just got a new computer that has Windows 7 64 bit as the operating system.  THere is no Deskjet 6122 driver for Windows 7 64 bit and I therefore used the HP 990c driver (recommended on the HP site).  While the HP990c driver works fine for regular printing, I cannot print banners as 'banner paper' is no longer available in the paper option for printing.
    Is there any way I can print banners with my HP 6122 using WIndows 7? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    THanks

    Hi @crobin678 , and welcome to the HP Forums!

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600, HP Printer Assistant does not install when software is installed from CD

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 e all in one printer
    Windows 7
    I have had Printer Assistant installed and working on my computer for at least a year then there was an update and it no longer works.
    I have uninstalled the device and software and reinstalled both from the website and directly from the CD with no success.
    The only error I receive is when I first start the install and there is a red 'x' next to windows update .
    The install process will complete, the computer will recognize the printer and I am able to print but I have no control of any functions becuase none of the options in printer assistant are enabled.  They are all grayed out.   The most important feature I need is the archival of received faxes.  
    Another person in my household had the same issue but was able to reinstall from the website and no longer has any issues.
    Thanks for any and all help.

  • HP Photosmart & Printer Assistant

    I have a laptop running Windows 8.1. I noticed I do not have Printer Assistant for the photosmart. I removed the printer and downloaded the driver again. It does show up after downloading, but then it disappears. When I double click the HP icon, I get a screen for connection options. I am usingthis computer wirelessly and my connection is working fine. I also downloaded driver and software for a new Deskjet 2540. No problems there. What should I do?

  • Can´t find HP Printer Assistant

    HP Deskjet 1050A J410 with Win 8.1
    Have tried numerous suggestions from various sources but I cannot get Printer Assistant to open. I cannot even find it on my computer eg .exe file.
    Have deleted HP software and re-installed with different combinations , eg full package, basic software only etc as per suggestions but no joy.
    Does Printer Assistant have a particular file name/path for win 8.1 so I can search for it ?
    If not , any suggestions on how to completely remove any ref to HP so I can start from scratch ?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanx.

    Hi Alinspain,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with locating the Printer Assistant.
    I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot the issue.
    First off, please remove the USB cable from the printer and from the computer and leave it off.
    One very important step with the printer is, 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.
    The next step would be Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the software has been removed, please make sure to restart the computer.
    When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    Please do not connect the usb cable.  The installation will prompt you when to do so.
    Once the printer has been reinstalled, check for the Printer Assistant.  If you are still having issues, please click on the following link for the HP Update Software Utility.
    Please feel free to write back if you have any other questions or concerns.
