Help with printer install

HP LaserJet P1102w smart installed on new windows 7 PC as a USB device when I connected it.   How do I make it a printer so I can set it as the default printer?  On Control Panel / Devices and Printers it shows up as a device, not a printer.
This question was solved.

Resolved the problem.  Re-ran HP smart install and correct drivers were loaded.

  • Windows 7 64 bit machine with printer installed locally takes 2-3 minutes for printing most of the time and fails to print some time.

    Our customer  have 3-4 windows machines in local area network (No Domain Login) with different OS versions and platform architecture (32 / 64 bit)
    I have no idea about the configuration of  machine to which printer is hooked up but it is running Windows for sure.
    This machine is accessible from any other machine in LAN. They have another machine running Windows 7 64 bit OS  on which they have installed the printer connected to earlier machine  using local printer driver installation
    with local TCP/IP port being selected during installation. Installation goes well,  printer gets installed successfully and  shows ready state. but when we try to print anything on it takes 2-3 minutes to complete print job. They have tried
    this on printers with couple of different model and make but the result is same delayed printing. They have also tried to install different printer drivers like HP printer model specific driver and HP universal driver too , but the result is
    the same in all cases. earlier when they were using  32 bit XP machine with printer installed same way that they installed now for win 7 64 , there was no issue seen with regards delayed printing. is this a issue with windows  7 64
    bit printing system ? or it has to do something with mixed and matched (32/64 bit )printer drivers running on different machines on LAN ?
    I will try to get more information with regards to the machine to which printer is connected.In the mean please revert back to me if any one had face similar issue and able to resolve it successfully.    
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Have you tried ping ip address of printer? and check if there exists any data lost in network connection. If your network connection is crowded, it can cause delay for printer.
    Also, please attempt to disable all security software temporarily, such as antivirus, firewalls,etc and
    clear all printer cache.
    Locate to task manager, check the state of spoolsv.exe, including cpu and memory. If it has high cpu or memory usage, it may be caused by malware. Thus, you'd better to make a full scan with the latest anti-virus.

  • Help with Print Layout Designer

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum.  Moderator(s)  if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
    I need some help with Print Layout Designer.  I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report.  They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document.  The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible.  I check it and In Stock shows up as designed.  The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name.  I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column.  I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content.  I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109.  I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number.  That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column.  I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand".  I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty".  I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet.  I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one.  I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer".  According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on.  Can anyone help?
    TIA,
    Steve

    I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
    The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

  • I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

    Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

    Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online.  It is not possible to uninstall it.  Do you mean the iTunes application?  Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too.  You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

  • Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

    I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
    1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
    2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
    3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
    My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
    I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

    Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
    Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
    A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

  • Need help with Printer Setup conventions

    I can't get my Brother printer to print from one computer--but it prints okay from the other computer on my network. I need to know the conventions for the Printer Setup Utility.
    There's a checkbox by every printer on the list. What does it mean when the checkbox is grayed out?
    Some printer names appear in bold. What does that mean?
    Thanx.

    Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your help in this and just want to understand what you're saying.
    As I say, the printer is displayed in the print dialog box but the checkbox is grayed out. I'm assuming that when you say "...it can't find/see them now," you mean the print dialogue can't see them (the drivers). Your last sentence confuses me. You say, "Do you maybe have Printer Sharing enabled & they aren't actually directly connected? If so you have to reboot after turning it off." A little confusion about your antecedents here. What isn't actually connected? The printer? So I have to reboot after turning it off, "it" I suppose is the printer, is that right? I will try that. So turn printer off, reboot, turn printer on. Right?
    I will describe my problem. l thought that if I understood why the checkbox was grayed out I might see what my problem was. If you want me to start another topic I can do that.
    Problem: I have a network with 2 computers and the Brother
    multifunction fax/printer. I'm using an Apple airport hub. The printer
    and one computer (Mac tower) are connected to the airport base via
    ethernet. The 2nd computer (Apple laptop) is on the wireless network.
    Until recently i could print from both computers. Now I can't print from
    the tower. But I can still print from the laptop.
    When I try to print from the tower I get an error message that says, "Cannot print from current printer." I have rebooted, reinstalled printer drivers, checked cables, deleted printer from printer list and re-added printer all to no avail. But as I say, I can still print from the laptop which is using Airport. So the printer prints, the hub connects to the printer okay (ethernet) and I know the tower connects to the hub (I can ping the printer okay from the tower.)
    I am conversing to Brother support via email and their first suggestions I have already tried. Perhaps there's some problem in the network, but I can't figure it out. Worse yet, now when I go to the Network preferences I get an error message which says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WON'T GO AWAY! I can click 'okay' but it reappears. I have to force quit the System Preferences to get out. If you can help with any of these problems I surely appreciate it.

  • Help with Classic install

    Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before so forgive me. I've looked all around and found solutions that were 'similar' to my problem but none that will work. here we go.
    I just got an old Mac G4 tower (AGP) and bought Tiger to put on it. (not sure what version of OSX was on it before) Anyway I did a clean install and everythig works great. No problems at all.
    I was installing a program yesterday that turns out needs Classic support. Right now there is no updated version of this program and I need to run it. My machine doesnt have Classic support. How do I install it? I've read that there is a second install disk that you can use my my boxed version of OSX has only one disk. I searched the disk and see that there is a Classic folder on it with an install app but when i run it it doesnt do anything. It just informs me that neither of my hard drivers have Classic.
    I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need to run this legacy application.
    G4 (AGP) Mac OS X (10.4.7)
    G4 (AGP)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'd find that 2nd DVD, it's supposed to come with OSX
    10.4. Follow the instructions on this article and an
    "Applications (OS9)" folder will appear in your
    Macintosh HD.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
    en/mh763.html
    OS 9 has not shipped with OS X since Jaguar.
    However, OS 9 does ship with PPC Macs. It should be on the install DVD, or on the 2nd or 3rd CD, depending on which Mac. Example: my original 700 MHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.1 and OS 9.2.2 on separate CDs, both bootable. My 1.25 GHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.3 and OS 9.2.2, with the OS X disc being bootable and the OS 9.2.2 disc being part of the applications suite and not being bootable. My 2.1 GHz iMac shipped with OS X 10.4 and OS 9.2.2 on the same DVD. OS 9.2.2 is again part of the application suite and cannot be booted from the DVD. The Intel Macs at the office shipped with OS X 10.4 and that's it, no OS 9.2.2 as Classic does not run on them.
    A boxed set of OS X 10.2 shipped with OS 9.2.2 on a separate CD. (It was a white 'universal install' CD and would install on all Macs produced up to that time.) I have such a boxed set on a shelf in the cupboard right now. A boxed set of OS X 10.3 shipped with four CDs, none of which was OS 9. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. A boxed set of 10.4 shipped with a single DVD. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. I have just opened the box and verified by sight: one DVD, OS X only. A further check of the contents of that DVD show no mention of OS 9.
    The OP will need to have the system CDs or DVD which shipped with his Mac to install Classic.

  • Need some help with printing Templates

    Hi All,
         So I was hoping for a bit of help. I am currently doing all illustrator work for my new job. I have not been on the program in a long time and the version I am using is CS4. I have been creating brochures and flyers all A4 size and i have hit a bump in the road. I need a 6pp A4 Z folded (Inside) and 6pp A4 Z folded (outside) template. I Have been using the A3 folded to A4 guides to great affect for a two page brochure. But i cannot for the life of me find a template guides for 6pp A4 brochure.
    This was the best i could do, its a pdf but I prefer working with the guides. I have just been downloading the previous templates from commercial printing websites. I found one that was right but not compatible with CS4.
    Any help with finding one or any ideas on a path to take would be greatly appreciated.

    Why don't you just setup the file you need?
    Create your guidelines and there you go.

  • Help with printing hard copy from Acrobat PDF

    Copy created in InDesign and printed to Adobe PDF is OK on screen but printing hard copy with random chunks of text missing. Same on both my printers, doesn't happen with doPDF. Any ideas? Thanks

    I suspect that what you are asking is simply to print to a new PDF with print as image selected. You can also save as an image file and then open the images as a new PDF.

  • Help with Tiger install and getting hot keys and start up manager to work

    Hi Ali,
    re: this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? I really did not understand the support page you link to...but wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work. How do I access these keys then?
    Is this a Wireless KB you have? Many aren't recognized until after booting.
    Hmmm, you've got the firmware Update needed for the AGP to install/use 10.4...
    I think I'd try this, worked for me on 3 such macs...
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the Erase tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
    6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

  • Need help with printing edocs with a laserjet1320. Wont print large jobs. installed 10.7 update.Help

    i am trying to print 50 page(5mb) document package on legal paper and the printer is printing one page at a time. I am using a macbook pro  10.7 and I have installed the update. however, it seems as though the computer is not correctly communicating with the printer. A four page job was no problem. I believe these printers are capable of high volume printing. Can I reinstall the firmware? Adobe acrobat will not even communicate with the printer. It just says "waiting for printer to become available." Using "preview", it sends the job to the printer, however, it is printing about 5pages per minute. It is connected through a usb cable. thanks for your help.

  • Help with printing document via wireless

    The printer is connected to PC via wireless and has worked ok for a long time.
    Thr printer seems to be working ok (copying ok). 
    Although printer icon is ready, any document sent to print sits in a queue and does not print. I have downloaded the updated version off the internet (HP website) for the HP 3050A driver and installed ok (who knows).
    Can you help?
    cheers

    Hi @PPritchard ,
    I see that you are having issues with the print jobs just sitting in the queue and won't print. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button (). The Wireless menu opens.
    Press the button () next to the Down Arrow () to scroll through the options and select Print Reports, and then press the button next to OK.
    Press the button () next to Wireless Test to print the page.
    If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
    Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
    Try printing again.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Need help with printer sharing over ethernet

    I'd like to share the printer hooked up to my Mac Pro via USB with a MacBook in the same room. The MacBook is connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet cable (no router or switch; just a direct connection).
    I have enabled "Printer Sharing" on my Mac Pro.
    However, I'm not sure what to do from here. When I open up "Network" in System Preferences, and click on "built-in ethernet" it says "inactive". When I go to "Print and Fax Preferences" and attempt to add the printer connected to the Mac Pro, nothing shows up.
    I know I'm not understanding a key point here. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it. The goal is to allow the MacBook to use Airport to connect to the Internet, but to have access to the USB printer connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet (long story why this is necessary, but it is.)
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your offer to help.
    The printer is indeed connected to my Mac Pro via USB and is working perfectly.
    As I stated in the original post, printer sharing is enabled in System Preferences on my Mac Pro. There is an ethernet cable going from the ethernet 2 port of my Mac Pro to the ethernet port of my MacBook.
    The missing element was that I had not established a network connection between the two Macs. From the Macbook's Finder I chose "Go>Network" and then selected my Mac Pro. After I entered my username and password, I was connected to the Mac Pro.
    At this point I was then able to see the USB printer connected to the Mac Pro in the MacBook's "Print & Fax preferences".
    However, I still have one problem. When I add the printer on the MacBook, it chooses "generic postscript driver" even though I have recently installed the proper driver on the MacBook. Why would this be the case?

  • [Solved]Help with printer

    Hi!
    I`m really frustrated... I never thought that installing printer can be such a paint in the rear...
    Ok, now back to the point:
    I`m trying to set up my Deskjet 930c on 32 bit Arch through usb. I did everything that Wiki says: installed
    cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip and net-snmp
    I loaded the module
    modprobe usblp
    and i see the  that the printer is connected alright
    [andy@andy ~]$ dmesg
    usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
    usb 6-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1204
    I added the cups and usblp to rc.conf to make sure it is being loaded on startup. I rebooted, and then opened http://localhost:631 in firefox. It allows me to setup the printer, but when it comes to printing the test page, adding users or removing printers i get a Firefox message:
    Port Restricted for Security Reasons
    This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
    The requested address specified a port (e.g. "mozilla.org:80" for port 80 on mozilla.org) normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. The browser has canceled the request for your protection and security.
    When i run gnome-cups-manager i see an error in terminal:
    ** (gnome-cups-manager:13143): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
    , and when trying to print a test page i get an error:
    Ready: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed
    So i`ve ran
    hp-setup
    and setup my printer. I can than print a test page.
    But when it comes to printing by a usual user, the "print" button in all applications is grayed out/inactive.
    Also hp-toolbox is segfaulting all the time...
    Also, running a system-config-printer says:
    There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-service-unavailable'.
    The funny thing is... The only way to print something is to print it to a .pdf file first, and than printing that file.
    Any help, please?...
