Deskjet 6980 direct to Lenovo T 500 Windows 7

Trying to connect Deskjet 6980 to Lenovo T 500 in wireless mode - not through router but direct. Can not seem to make this work. Any suggestions

If you mean a USB connection, connecting the PC and printer via USB (with the printer on), should cause Win7 to load the driver. There is no downloadable software from HP.

Windows 7 wireless connection to HP Deskjet 6980

My deskjet 6980 printer has been working flawlessly with Vista for many years. Since I recently changed to a laptop with Windows 7 64bit I have not been able to connect wirelessly. I have tried downloading the latest software and installing the printer through Windows but have had not success with either. I have also tried connecting the printer through a router and through it's own built-in wireless connection.
Is there any way to connect this printer wirelessly to a Windows 7 machine? Are HP going to introduce software for this in the future?
Any help would be much appreciated as not being able to print is a huge inconvenience!
Thanks for your time
Matt

I finally got my deskjet 6980 working on wireless network on Windows 7 64 bit.
Follow the following instructions Exactly! :
1)      Go Here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SupportTaskIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodS...
2)      Scroll down to "Network Setup" and click on : HP Deskjet 6840 and 6980 Printer series, and Officejet Pro K550dtwn Printer - Installing the Product...
Suggestion based on my experience:
- Follow the instructions closely.
- I found a couple of steps to be different than indicated in the above links.. those steps were:
a) Under Step 1 of Wireless Setup Only: "press the network butoon to print the product information" , but actually you gotta press the Report Page Button on the printer (one with image of sheet with a check mark) to printe the product info.
b) Step 5 of Wireless Setup Only describes setup using advanced options, I just used the available Network Setup Wizard instead
c) Step 7 and Step 8 of Wireless Setup Only ask you to "Disconnect Ethernet cable from the printer and t\print a test page using microsoft word..", but once i disconnected the ethernet cable the printer couldn't connect to the network wirelessly.  So, I had to restart the Printer, Router and Modem before the printer could connect to the wireless network. Also, once the printer connects wirelessly to the network you may need to add the wireless Printer to your computer (i.e. Go to Start - Devices & Printers: right-click and delete existing Deskjet 6980 printer cuz that one is probably for wired network. Then click on 'Add Printer' - select 'Wireless Printer' - select HP Deskjet 6980 from the list generated of all wireless printers available and ADD it and make it default printer.
Good luck !

Missing ink level indicator deskjet 6980

Hi,
I am trying to restore the ink level indicator on this deskjet 6980. I have gone through all the properties to no avail. I downloaded the HP tool, however, it when through the motions with progress boxes and just vanished. I thought the tool would check current drivers and software for updates.

Printing wirelessly with a hp deskjet 6980

I bought me a hp deskjet 6980 which is equiped with it's own wi-fi device for printing.
Has anybody experiences setting up the printer for wirelessly printing on Mac OS X 10.4.6 or Windows XP SP 2?
Cause I followed the guidelines in the manual but never succeded.
I have a wireless airport network for internet with a PowerBook G4 and a Vaio Laptop. What I want to do is sending printjobs from both machines wirelessly to the printer.

Here are the instructions that got me through this.
Good luck.
For your issues with setting up the Deskjet 6980 printer to your network
I would recommend the following steps. These steps are based on a
process you would use if the driver installation has already been run
through on the Mac.
If you want to utilize the printers wireless functions disconnect the
ethernet cable from the printer and the air port.
Reset the printer buy holding the report (check mark) button down.
While holding the report (check mark) button down press and release the
cancel (x) button three times then release the report (check mark)
button. Once all the lights except the power are off turn the power off
(this may take a minute). Wait for one minute then turn the printer
back on. While the lights are flashing follow the steps numbered below.
1. Ensure the blue radio light come on the printer then click on the
airport icon (on the top menu bar), select hpsetup
2. Once connected to hpsetup, Print the network configuration page from
the printer again (press and release the button with the check mark).
3. Open Safari (should say cannot open page), enter the printer's IP
Address (line 7 with the periods) into the address bar, hit return. An
HP site should open (this is the embedded web server on the printer).
* NOTE * If you do not have the printers report page with the IP address
on it simply press and release the report (check mark) button and it
will print out.
4. Select the Networking tab. On the left side of the window (under
CONNECTIONS), select Wireless (802.11)
5. Click on Start Wizard.
6. Select the network name from the drop down list, click next.
7. If there is NO WEP encryption, continue to step 8. If there is WEP
encryption, enter the key (You must know this key. If you do not contact
Apple to get it reset).
8. Click Finish, the printer's wireless and network lights should blink.
9. At the top of the screen click on the word Safari and then click quit
Safari. Once Safari closes click on the airport icon and switch back to
your network name. You may be prompted for a password.
10. At the top of the screen click on GO then APPLICATIONS. Next double
click on TextEdit. type any thing in this windows and then click on
FILE then PRINT. Ensure the Deskjet 6900 series is the printer listed
and then click on PRINT.
The printer should print the TextEdit words you typed in.

HP Deskjet 2540 scan does not work with windows 10

my HP Deskjet 2540 scan does not work with windows 10, however, it still does eprinting. i need the solution and i haven't got it.

OK, More information. Installed Media Portal 1. This works with the tuner card without additional modification, so this appears to be some kind of issue with the software. Media Portal 1 does install a different version of Direct X, I don't know if that could have anything to do with it, but HP MediaSmart Live TV still comes up with the same error and will not run.

Lenovo G 500s Insyde bios brick looking for right filename for biosdata to recovery

Hey,
as you can read in the subject, ich bricked my bios V2.02 when i tried to flash a whitelist-free-bios to my notebook Lenovo G 500s.
Before i tried to update bios, i made a backup of my current bios in .rom format.
I used Andy's tool to get the right filename, the tool gave out: "VILG1X64.F?"
Then I copied the biosfile to a usb stick with activity-led several times with dirrefent filenames and fileendings:
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG. fd/rom/bin/bi
Anybody with the same notebook, who knows which filename i need? Which file-ending is the right?
Some Info:
I also tried to use the .rom file from lenovo's .exe file bios update from official download centre.
Thank you!

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

Deskjet 6980 getting it to recognize new network from network when originally set up

I set a deskjet 6980 printer up 2 years ago on my home wireless network and it has worked great. I replaced my airport base station several weeks ago with an Apple time Machine and reconfigured the network and renamed it. Everything works great ( computers, tivos, etc.) except the printer will not work. It has a flashing light on the front next to the blue wireless light. Printer still works fine when I plug it into my computer but I cannot figure out how to change the printer setting so as to connect it wirelessly to our new home network. any ideas? the HP online support group has been no help.

Since you have replaced your network with new hardware, new SSID and perhaps other changes you will have to re-install the printer onto the network. You can use the method outlined on page 8 of this document: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00591746.pdf (probably the most straightforward with a Time Capsule setup) or try the other methods outlined in the document.
Try that and let me know how it goes!

Printing problem on HP Deskjet 6980

When printing from Illustrator or InDesign CS2 with text or a graphic that has been copied and pasted to a different spot in the same document page, the HP Deskjet 6980 will not print the copied version in the lower right quarter of the page. Very strange.
I have updated drivers for the printer and software for the programs, but problem continues. Any suggestions?

Hello There,
I too have a similar problem printing from CS2 to an HP6940. When printing I only get half the page and the scaling is way off. I've contacted HP and they say it is an Adobe issue since the printer prints from other applications. As a work around, I just save my files as PDFs and print from Acrobat and they come out fine then. But I would like to see this issue resolved as I like to turn layers on and off and print.

HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M277 will not install on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Windows 7 64 bit

I tried to install printer driver software for my completely new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptop. Lenovo runs on Windows 7 64 bit. The installation failed during Installation preparation (77% complete). The process stopped saying an error occured without indication of the cause of the error. I have tried installion both from the CD following the printer product and downloading from the HP web, with the same result. I then then turned on my old computer, a Dell Precision M2400 with Windows XP. The installation went perfect without problems on this computer. Is there a bug in the SW for Windows 7 (64), or is some part of the printer SW sensitive to HW variaton between PC companies even if the OS is the same?

I have the same problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 running Windows 7 64 bit. Tried absolutely everything I could find on the blogs and nothing worked. To me, seems like a software problem (glaring, given the popularity of Lenovos and the Windows 7 64 bit systems). Returning the printer tomorrow and will not buy another HP printer.

"Mounting Failed" - downloaded driver for HP deskjet 6980

I downloaded the printer driver for my HP deskjet 6980 and when it finished downloading it said that mounting failed. Why would this be?

Hi Kat,
Either a RAM/Hardware issue, Disk needs Repair, or some glith in downloading.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
