Deskjet F4235 doesn't print after Windows 8.1 update and subsequent updating of HP software

Updated Windows 8.1 software.  Afterwards when I went to print, received a message that the HP software needed to be reinstalled.  Printer still worked at that point--but there were problems.  Couldn't scan from the printer; had to do it from the computer.  When I realized it wouldn't duplex print, I decided to do the reinstallation.  After many screens, etc., the HP printer diagnostics told me that there was a problem it couldn't solve.  I went to HP support, software and drivers; nothing helped there.  Now my printer doesn't work at all.  I have USB.  Can anyone shed light on this?  Thank you so much.  ~J

  • I have an hp deskjet f4235. i cannot print anything from my computer.

    I have Windows Vista Home premium and an HP Deskjet F4235 I cannot print anything from my computer. The page comes out blank except for a page number at the top and a file number and date at the bottom. I have wireless now but do not remember if this problem occurred before or after installation. I have unplugged the wireless for 5 minutes and replugged it. I have turned off the printer and restarted it. Nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. The DJ F4235 is not a wireless printer. Best option I can suggest on the information provided is to disconnect the USB cable connection and uninstall any software that you may have attempted to install. You can do this by add/remove programs from the Control Panel. Please ensure to only remove the HP DJ F4235 software ONLY however.
    You will be prompted to reboot after the uninstall to complete the task, please do so. Verify that the printer is uninstalled by viewing the printers control panel - it should no longer be listed as an available printer?
    Next, download this latest software for your printer and Windows OS --> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-59236-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
    Ensure to follow all onscreen prompts and do not attempt to connect the printer until you are asked to do so (it will be towards the end of the software install).

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • HT1365 How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again

    How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again?

    Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
    Plug the iPhone in.
    In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
    In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
    Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
    Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's.

  • Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
    I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
    I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
    When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks!

  • Designjet 500 doesn't print from Windows 7 64 bits

    The problem:
    We got our first Windows 7 64 bit laptop and we can't print to our Designjet 500. Windows submits the job to the printer without errors but it doesn't print and the error 61:05 is displayed on the printer's display. The printer is connected to the network infrastructure with HP Jetdirect.
    Things I tried:
    I tried to connect this laptop directly to the printer through USB.
    I tried to print from Autocad and the Windows test page.
    I tried the Windows Update drivers and the ones provided in HP's support website.
    I tried all the different flavors of the Windows 7 64 bit drivers (w/ HPGL2 card; PS; Plus; 24/42 inches)
    I tried to print from a 2nd W7 x64 laptop that I got temporarily just to troubleshoot this issue.
    Conclusion:
    All 32 bit OS's print as expected. None of the new W7 64 bit systems print. None of the things I tried made a difference, the job is sent to the printer and the error is always the same.
    Any ideas to go on from here?

    This forum is focused on consumer level products.  For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Designjet forum here.

  • Officejet 6500 wireless doesn't print after computers wake up

    Upgraded to Windows 7, but got a new integrated modem/router combo.  It's a Netgear DGND3300.
    My whole network is wireless.
    I never had this issue with my 2Wire Home Portal 2701 modem/router combo.  It worked flawlessly and I mean flawlessly.
    I have to reinstall my drivers for the printer and then it will work.  If we go to bed and and then try to print the next morning, it's like the printer info hangs in the spool.
    I get the icon saying it's printing, no errors, but the printer just doesn't print!
    So if I wirelessly delete the printer then reinstall it, it will print fine.
    I can't figure out where the issue is.  Turning off the computer and turning it back on again doesn't seem to help.

    Good job on the  firmware.
    Have you downloaded this patch for Win 7 upgrades?

  • Microphone doesn't work after Windows clean install

    I have a satellite A135-S4677 (Part# PSAD0U-0N700P) which came with 32 bit vista.
    I recently did a 32 bit windows 7 clean install on a new hard drive. Everything works fine except the internal microphone which does not work. If I connect an external mic it works. Speakers work fine.
    I have tried the Toshiba Software Installer but it didnt help
    I have tried both drivers on toshiba's website for Realtek but it still doesnt work
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40053600B.exe
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40064600A.exe
    Anything else I can try. Please help
    Thank you.

    Satellite A135-S4677
    After a clean install, the order of loading first the Toshiba supplied hardware drivers and hardware utilities, then the Toshiba utilities and software is critical for success.
    1st Hardware Drivers & Hardware Utilities
    1) Chipset related
    2) Display
    3) Sound
    4) All other hardware drivers & hardware utilities
    2nd Toshiba Utilities & Toshiba Software
    1) Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP)
    2) Toshiba Flash Card Utility (sometimes included in the TVAP)
    3) All other Toshiba utilities and Toshiba software
    Also, Toshiba laptops are very finicky about only using Toshiba supplied hardware drivers to work properly, and those drivers supplied by Windows Update and/or the chip makers. That's why I recommend disabling automatic Windows Updates. To do this, click 'Start - All Programs - Windows Update', on the menu at left click on 'Change settings', under 'Important updates' click on the drop down menu at right and choose 'Never check for updates (not recommended)', and click OK. Then only manually check for Windows Updates, check all available updates carefully, and never allow Windows Update to change any of your hardware drivers. Though you should still regularly check for updates.
    So, after disabling automatic Windows Updates, try downloading and installing these drivers in this order, and see if it resolves your mic problem.
    Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility for Windows 7 (32/64)
    Intel Display Driver for Windows 7 (32)(v8.15.10.1825)
    Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
    Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Deskjet 6980 will not print with Windows 7

    This printer worked fine until a recently. Now I cannot print from Windows 7 desktop computer. The printer shows that it is offline. The report page from the printer tells me everything is connected and OK. I can print from my lap with XP Home Edition with no problems. I followed several ideas on this forum  and other web sites but none of them worked. If I restart the spooler, I get Error - Printing and nothing else. I ran the Windows 7 troubleshooter but it said it can't fix the problem. I can open the printer web page and everything looks OK. I installed Windows 7 in November and it has been printing OK until now.  Windows update says everything is up to date. I did install the patch mentioned here. Any ideas?

    Did you delete the printer in Devices and Printers and re-add it?

  • Satellite P300-1CE - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

    Hi everyone.
    At the beginning I'm sorry for my bad english so I will say shortly.
    A few days ago I removed a few programs, and I installed the new operating system Windows 7. All over it I had to download new drivers of the camera, because they didn't work. After downloading drivers of the camera, the camera became operative (YEAH!), but later I worked out that for me a built-in microphone was out of order. What can be of it with cause and what driver to download and why microphone don't work?
    I can't speak with friends on skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I say.

    Hello
    Did you really install all drivers after Windows 7 installation? Maybe you have forgotton something and so it doesnt work.
    Microphone is a part of webcam so make sure that webcam driver is installed properly and sound driver you need as well.
    After this check the sound settings. Make sure that Microphone is enabled and test it again with enabled microphone boost.

    Hi ebordon, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    I am sorry to hear your issue but let's try to isolate this. Hopefully will be able to boot your unit to Windows. Since this is a U.S. model, these steps are applicable to your unit. 
    Remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button or pinhole on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds. 
    Reset BIOS.  
    Safe Mode. 
    If you're planning to roll back to the previous operating system, please visit this page: How to go back to a previous version of Windows after Windows 10 has been installed.
    For other concern and for further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope these help.

  • Satellite L500-20X - WLAN switch doesn't work after Windows 8 Upgrade

    Hello,
    I have updatet my Toshiba Satellite L500-20X to Windows 8.
    Unfortunately, since this update my WLAN Switch no longer works. All function keys work to F7, only F8 (WLAN switch) and F9 (touchpad) no longer work.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards
    Klaus

    Satellite L500 is not Win 8 upgrade supported so I think the problem is a missing driver or software
    As far as I know in order to use the FN buttons the Value Added Package for Win 8 needs to be installed.
    Check other driver area for Toshiba notebook series supporting the Win 8.
    Maybe you could use the VAP released for other series.

  • Safari doesn't "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and links from Mail

    After a crash I found myself trying to "Reopen All Windows From Last Session", then I found that if I click a link from Mail it does not open it ... as well from any other application. It's like only workin' within itself and can't interact with any other application. Plus I used a lot "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" and now it doesn't work

    Same thing just happened to me. Reinstalling Saferi did not help.

  • Slow printing on windows 2008 std, R2 and windows 2012

    Hi All,
    I have a print server which is configured on windows 2008 R2. We are experiencing slow printing when printing directly from the server or from a client through the server. Small sized files prints fast, anything which has image takes a long time. All the
    printers in our organization are Xerox Colorqube 9303. When installed the driver directly on to windows 7 32 bit PC, it prints without any delay. Also, when prints from the server a 2 MB file becomes 15 MB or more while sending. We have tried PCL6 and PS drivers.
    To replicate it, i have installed a windows 2012 server ended up with the same result. Installed windows 2008 standard 32 bit with SP2 and the result remains same. Also tried it on windows 8, 64 bit without any luck. So effectively, it works fine only when
    directly installed on a windows 7 PC. I have disabled all three: disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning .
    After shooting the print, if you observe the printer properties, it sends data at a very low rate which results a 10 MB documents prints take around 10 minutes. At the same time, file copying from the server to and fro is working normally. All these servers
    are directly connected to the cisco 6509 core switch. All the above tests were performed on the same physical switch. The server and clients are on the same network (subnet).
    Have anybody come across to a similar issue. Any useful suggestions would deeply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Prince Mathew

    Hi Prince Mathew,
    Based on your description, this issue seems that it’s related to this specific model printer (Xerox
    colorqube 9303). Please install the latest version of the driver and the firmware from Xerox website, and then check if this issue still exists.
    If it still persists, please clear Printer Spooler Files and enable the Spooler Service again.
    For details, please refer to.
    1. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
    2. In Services list, please double click "Printer Spooler". Then click
    Stop, and then click OK.
    3. Please locate to: "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", delete all files in this folder.
    4. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks). In Services list, double click
    "Printer Spooler". Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
    Then check if this issue can be solved.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
