Deskjet 882c with Vista

Bonjour actually installed and runs. It blows my mind that vista is compatible with something...
The printer installs ok, drivers were a pain to get in there, but once I did everything went well until the print. Nothing happens. The printer acts like its going to print, then just runs some paper through.
I had a similar issue while running on XP, same story but the printer would print 4 or 5 pages with a line of random text at the top.

Hi - Unfortunately, the only driver available for the DJ895 in Vista is the driver that comes with Windows and it does not include a Toolbox. Unfortunately, there is no workaround through the driver - see this document.
If you're having problems with white lines through the printout, you can try manually cleaning it. Follow the steps in this document to do that.
Hope that helps.

How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard? This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers. HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed. These drivers fill the gap.
You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package. They are all on the HPIJS web page. Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer. You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer. After that it works great. And it also works on Lion.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same problem with my Deskjet 960c and Vista OS. I really want to know how to clean the ink cartridges by using the Toolbox, which is inaccessible with Vista. The print quality has not improved with newly store bought HP ink cartridges, so I think they need to be cleaned. Hopefully someone has a solution to this issue.
Thank you!

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.

Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

I (amid all of my other troubles with vista) have updated to itunes 7.2 but am not able to get itunes to recognize my 30 GB video ipod. I perused the other discussions and noticed others have had the same problem but never came across an answer.
thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Problem with Photostream on a PC with VISTA

Problem with Photostream on a PC with VISTA
I have latest Vista SP installed. I installed the download for ICloud for Vista Control Panel. I followed Apple's instructions and am unable when I snap a picture to have it downloaded on my PC to the default directories.
I have done a iCloud backup a couple of times.
I have changed the directory destinations, turned off my firewall, and still not getting the pics on my PC.
Help is appreciated. Thanks..

Well, the problem has been partially solved. When using the free Camera Plus app, all works as it should. All pics that I take download successfully.
Does this mean that the the Apple Camera app is defective?
How do you fix this app, cannot be deleted on the IPOD.

I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista

I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista, I log in under myself and I am an administrator, When I run the cd to install it shows that I need to be logged in as administrator, any help out there ?

I am not sure why the HP software needs to recognize your airport. That's a function of the OS. Can you be more specific about the problem you are having? Do you have some screen shots? Is the Macbook connected to the router?
If the HP printer can't recognized the router, that's a different story. You'll need to plug the Macbook into the printer (by cable) to config it (that's typical). You may need to assigne the printer its own static IP address (which I would advise doing anyway). That way you can always find it and it will make setting up network printers on other computers a bit easier.

Palm Desktop 6.2 crashing on launch with Vista

I've been using Desktop 6.2 with Vista for several months. There seems to have been some bad old data on my TX as Desktop crashes when I go to month view in the datebook for August 2008 and earlier, but otherwise fine.
Starting last week, the application will not fully open with a box stating "Palm Desktop by Access has stopped working" within 1/2 second hitting open. I've been able to hotsync with no problem and no change. I removed the application and reinstalled after re-downloading from Palm. I've also tried logging on as an administrator with no help.
Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks.

I've run into the problem before but it's either been bad data or events spanning midnight. Usually in the month before or after the month that locks up the Palm desktop. You might want to check Sept and Nov for any events that span midnight.

Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

I have installed Windows Vista 64-bit on a new computer (HP of course) and want to be able to use HP's "Smart Web Printing" software. I have used it quite a bit on a Windows XP machine and love it. Looking at the download page, it appears that the Smart Web Printing software is not compatible with Vista 64-bit. Is this correct? Will a new version be coming out that will be compatible?
Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?

TX2-1015au Is it worth upgrading to windows 7 or should I stick with Vista

Hi there
I bought last month a TX2-1015au, I have been happy with it general perfomance, use it as a laptop at home to watch dvd's and play furcadia and some basic word processing in Office 2007 pro. At work I use it in a tablet form to read emails and surf the web.
Now I applied for the HP windows 7 uprade its been approved and my disc should be here soon.
It has Vista Home Premium 32 Bit, I stuck a spare ram module I had lying around at home so it has 3 gig ram now insted of 2 and will buy a new 2 gig module soon as I have some free cashso it has 4 gig ram.
I did as a experiment in stall a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit I had at home from the desktop pc, I didnt enter a serial number as I went as I was just testing. (i did make my recovery disks first)
Firstly it was booting fast, but after I installed the AHCI driver, the boot times slowed. I downloaded and installed the Smart media apps and they failed to launch except for the dvd player.
so heres some questions:
1) The serial number that comes with your HP upgrade kit, can that be used to activate a 64bit windows 7?
2) if you clean install can you use the windows 7 driver disk Hp supply afterwoulds?
3) If you install over vista following Hp's instructions how much disk space is lost?
4) if you clean install, is there undocumented steps to take to install the smart media and get it to install and launch.
5) Is there a away to back up the recovery partition?
6) if the os is not broke should I fix it? (should I upgrade or not)
7) Do you loose any features or funcionability after upgrading?
well thanks in advannce for your help,
rgds Wonderzebra

1. Yes, you can use the same license key you get from the upgrade kit from HP to activate win7 64-bit as long as it is for the same version (for example, win7 home premium 32bit to win7 home premium 64bit. I had my tx2 pre-installed with vista 32bit, upgraded to win7 32bit thru hp's kit, then perfomed a clean install to win7 64-bit.
2. I'm not sure, what i did instead was download the drivers from the HP website.
3. Not sure as well, didn't really bother to look.
4. Yes. Currently the mediasmart installer on hp's website is glitchy. You only have to do a special step on one, that is for mediasmart smartmenu. (make sure you haven't installed any mediasmart program yet before you perform these steps, otherwise uninstall them all first then reboot)
- download and install winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
- download (but dont open yet!) the hp mediasmart smartmenu from hp's website
- right-click that file download from hp, then select "open with winrar"
- go to mssmartmenu folder, then to hp > tmp > src > then double-click smartmenusetup64.msi, it will launch the installer
- after the installation, you may now go ahead and download and install the rest of the mediasmart software posted on hp's website and it should install properly. Make sure that you have also installed HP Quick Launch buttons to make use of that "M" button on the screen bezel.
5. The recovery discs are already backed-up partiion.
6. There are lots of articles online about the difference of 32bit and 64bit OSes, but most people go 64bit to be futureproof, and to enable their laptops to recognize 4gb+ RAM,
7. Unless you have some old devices whose drivers are only for 32bit systems, no. 32bit softwares can run on 64bit OSes.
