DeskJet 870Cse & Windows 7 64-bit driver

The online info for driver downloads for the DeskJet 870Cse says that Win7 already supports the necessary driver and instructs me to connect the printer via USB cable to the computer.  However, my printer has only a parallel port (for PC) and a MAC port ... no USB port.  In any case, the printer is on a LAN-based print server and I just want to install it via a standard TCP/IP port (as I do on all our XP machines currently).
Is there a solution?
Thanks for any help or tips.

Dumb question - which is "the appropriate port"? USB or LPT1?
DVEJr
It depends...  If you have an actual parallel port on your computer it would likely be LPT1:.  Most Windows 7 computers do not have a parallel port.  If you are using a USB- Parallel converter cable then it is more difficult.  In this case the port may be USB001: (or perhaps USB002: or some other USB00n or the USB-parallel cable may provide an emulated LPT port such as LPT3:.  
The USB-parallel cables can be problematic, to work they need driver support in Windows 7.  The thread here (toward the end) has some examples folks have posted about cables they have had success with.  OK, to make the cables that work easier to find I have tagged them with W7_USB-Parallel.  There are undoubtedly others that work, I have also heard of good results with Belkin and Sweex cables.  Be sure to check the cable to make sure it is rated to work with Windows 7.

  • FRUSTRATED - windows 7 64 bit driver HP 6500 709e all in one won't install on 2 computers

    Hi,
    My son and I both got new laptops for Christmas.  I have had nothing but problems installing our wireless printer with its full features.  My son's computer is a Dell, mine is a Toshiba.  From what I could find both needed the same driver but both have had MAJOR issues getting the install to complete and installing the device. Somehow I was able to get it installed on my Toshiba but the "fix" I used didn't work on the Dell.  PLEASE HELP! Thanks
    Carol
    Sorry I realized I did add much information.  The printer is the 6500 all in one deskjet 709e.  I have tried installing the 64 bit, windows 7...i also downloaded the update. Eventually it worked for my Toshiba laptop but still can't get it to install on my son's dell.
    After numerous tries,
    I downloaded the driver for windows 7, 64 bit driver and then downloaded the update.  The driver/software wouldn't install the device until I did the update (for my Toshiba) but this is not working for the Dell.  Also I did download the troubleshooter and it was useless! 

    Welcome to the HP Forums Zoney,
    I read your post which indicates that you are getting a "MICROSOFT VISUAL C ++RUNTIME LIBRARY" error, when trying to install the printer software. I can help you with this.
    Download and install this Patch> Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error.
    Uninstall the printer software.
    Before installing the printer software again, setup the Admin rights on the computer.
    Run Command Prompt as Administrator. Go to the start menu, type “CMD” in the search bar. Now, you should see a shortcut for CMD above. Right click on it, and click “run as administrator”. If it asks you for administrative permission, please allow permission. In your Command Prompt window (as administrator), type the following and hit Enter: net user administrator /active:yes
    You should see a message saying "the command completed successfully". After troubleshooting is done, you can disable this account by typing the following command into Command Prompt (as administrator): net user administrator /active:no.
    Restart the computer, and utilize the new account that is available, which should be named "Administrator".
    Here are some more steps you can try if you are still getting the Runtime error.
    But it is looking more like a Operating System issue.
    Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, 2008 and 2005 Redistributable Packages.
    You will find the download links to these packages below:
    2005 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=26347
    2008 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=5582
    2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.as​​px?id=14632
    Try the installation again please.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a nice day!

    Hello B-I-F,
    The drivers for the HP Color Laserjet 2840 are already "built" into Windows 7. Here is a link regarding how to install them:

  • HP Laserjet 1012 Windows 7 64-bit Driver

    I cannot find a Windows 7 64-bit driver for my Laserjet 1012. Has anyone else had any luck?

    Win 7 X64 works with my Trusty HP Laserjet 1012.
    From Start/Devices and Printers.
    Choose add a printer.
    Had to use Windows update at the bottom of the install printer driver window because the HP Laserjet 1015 was not on the list of HP printers. But after the update there it was "HP Laserjet 1015".
    I did the intstall and it is working on my Win7 x64 machine and Office 2010. By the way, I chose Generic IEEE 1284.4 as the printer port (See comment below)
    If you look on the HP website, they show the most recent drivers only for Vista x64 but the drivers are for the HP Laserjet 1010, 1012, 1015. So 1015 drivers will work but I did the install through Windows add printer as stated earlier in this thread and seems Win7 offers support for this legacy printer.
    Comment:
    Oddly the HP HP Laserjet 1012 also shows in unspecified devices on the Devices and printers page and did so before I installed the printer...I could not delete it but right clicking and Running Troubleshout gave me the choice to fix it saying "The driver for Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device." I believe chosing Apply this fix would have made it work. I am hoping on reboot it dissapears from unspecified. I will repost later 

  • Windows 7 64 bit driver for the Zen Vision M?

    - Where EXACTLY can I find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the Zen Vision M? My new computer came with it installed in Windows Media Player 2, but the driver became corrupt. I can't seem to find that driver on the Creative or Microsoft download websites. Please Help!

    The driver is nati've to Windows. Creative does not write the MTP driver. I would suggest re-install WMP2 or contact Microsoft for advice if it is corrupt. As for software to use the player on a 64 Win 7system? there is nothing for the Vision M. You may want to read this page? http://support.creative.com/KB/showarticle.aspx?sid=605&h=3

    can you give me windows 7 64-bit driver for Hp ENVY 15-q203tx.some our program and system is not working with windows 8.1

    Hi:
    See if the W7 x64 drivers and software from this model work on yours.  Don't use any BIOS or firmware files from this model.
    To install the graphics, you have to install the Intel chipset installation utility first and reboot.
    Then install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot.
    Then install the Nvidia graphics driver and reboot.

    When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver.  Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver.  Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed.  I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver.  Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • LaserJet 1022 on Windows 8 64-bit driver problem

    Hello!
    After I've upgraded my computer and installed Windows 8 my printer LaserJet 1022 won't work - the drivers fail to install.
    Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit
    Printer: HP LaserJet 1022 connected via USB
    I 'm trying to install latest drivers for 64-bit system (driver version 2012.918.1.57980 [18.09.2012]) and getting an error message that the driver cannot be installed because of a policy blocking NT4.0 drivers.
    In the device manager the printer is listed in the 'Other devices'.
    I have read forum topics on Windows 8 drivers installation but none of the solutions worked for me.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Pavel.

    Hi @debblong ,
    I see that you are having issues installing the printer on Windows 8. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    To access the Start in Windows 8 to do the steps provided in the previous post, in desktop mode, press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line. Then you can type in %temp% to access the files to delete them.
    For the printer not being detected, we can try a few things.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and turned on, and the USB cable is connected directly to one of the back USB ports on the computer if using a Desktop, if you are using a Laptop try another USB port.
    The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
    Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable? How to determine whether a USB 3.0 device is operating at SuperSpeed?
    Is the USB port on the computer 2.0 or 3.0?
    Follow these steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for any printer entries.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected) right click and uninstall it. If you have any others with exclamation mark or other devices in the list, delete them also.
    Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
    Then click on Action, across the top of the window and scan for new hardware.
    If the printer wasn't listed at all in the Device Manager, try another USB port on the computer and another USB cable.
    Restart the computer and the printer also to see if the printer will be detected.
    If the printer still isn't recognized, if you have another computer, connect the printer to it to see if it is recognized.
    Just to rule out a USB port on the computer, USB cable or hardware issue with the USB port on the printer.
    Here is the link to the driver page, if you need it. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • Where can I get the Windows 7 64 bit driver for the MBP (6,2)?

    I have to install Windows 7 for work. I have my hard drive partitioned for triple boot, with Ubuntu 64 bit on one partition, and Windows 7 64 bit enterprise installed on another. Both boot fine; Ubuntu found all its drivers automatically (well done, guys!), but Windows of course cannot. Boot camp assistant refuses to download the drivers because I've already partitioned the drive. (Pardon my frustration, but that is a completely brain-damaged software design decision. -1 to apple.)
    Is there any way to get the drivers?? Even just for the wireless card?? This is unbelievably frustrating. It's 2011 - stuff is supposed to 'just work,' and playing coy little hide-the-hardware-driver games does not 'just work'.

    Alas, no dice. I was able to skip the compatibility check and run the bootcamp installer, and the 3.1 and 3.2 updates. However, I still have no wireless. The device manage shows it as an unknown network card.
    linux lspci identifies the ethernet and wifi cards as:
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)
    03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
    the ethernet card is recognized in windows, but the BCM43224 is not.
    under linux the BCM43224 works out of the box using the standard "wl" driver with Broadcom's recently open-sourced firmware.
    But I'm having a hard time finding any other Windows drivers for it: searching broadcom's site and windows support doesn't give me anything, and google just gives me loads of what look like pay-to-download scam sites and malware. Have I entered some weird parallel reality where wifi support is better in linux than in windows? :lol: that can't be, maybe I'm not configuring something correctly.

  • Print panel on hp deskjet in windows 7 64-bit

    Hi!
    My customers had problems with print.panel to printer method in windows 7 64-bit so I made a simple standalone application which prints a VI panel to default printer (zipped project is attached). I'm using Developer Suite with Labview 12.0f3 (32 bit) on Windows XP. The application has been deployed to computers running windows 7 (64 bit) and windows XP (32 bit) and tested with different printers: local and network. There is a list of printers where the application does not print the panel on windows 7 (64 bit): HP DeskJet D4360, HP DeskJet 5550, HP DeskJet 5652, HP Photosmart C3180 and PDF Complete (an application which converts document to PDF). The application does not report any error, everything seems normal. The document is sent to the printer, usually printer heads start to move for a moment, in one case the paper is taken from the drawer and that's all. There's no need to say that all this printers work normally with Winword, Notepad, Excel, ...
    My application prints a VI panel in Windows 7 (64 bit) without any problems if I use: Canon IR2200, Toshiba e-STUDIO 2500c, Samsung ML-2240, HP LaserJet 5L, HP LaserJet P2050, PDFcreator, ....
    ALL printers, including HP DeskJet models, work normally  in Windows XP (32 bit).
    According to the post here  the printer margins in my application are set to a value of 3 cm because it might solve the problem but it does not help.
    Any other suggestion?

    Dear Ljubo!
    I'm glad that it has worked for you, I hope your clients will have the same success. As I've found, incompatible printers on Windows 7 64bit is a known issue, and will hopefully be fixed in a later version of LabVIEW. I'll be sure to include your input (which printers worked and which did not) on the case. 
    Also, it seems to me that both the Invoke Node and the Library Call use the same function to accomplish printing; however, the Node sets the "show print dialog" input automatically to false, hence the lack of printing options (this makes sense from a programming perspective, since if we want to print programmatically, additional user input at every print job is most likely unwanted). Please get back to me when your customer has results, if something is still not functioning, we might explore some other workarounds.
    Kind regards:
