Hooked Photosmart 2575 wifi for laptop with windows 7. downloaded the drivers for it.

I am trying to" hook"  my laptop to my printer via netgear.,  I have a desktop that is hard wired to it and I have the printer wired to the netgear as well.  I have down loaded the drivers for the printer from the HP site.  My laptop recognizes it (I think) but can't get anything to print. My old desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 7.  Thanks for any help. 

Is the desktop working with this printer?
Do you receive any error messages?  If so, what are they?
Is there any third party firewalls installed?
Did the installation complete successfully?
Go to Devices and Printers int he Windows 7 system.  Does the printer show as greyed out or solid color with a check mark?
Try using the print and scan doctor.  Did it show any errors?  If so, it should either correct them or provide more information about the issue.  The web page for the tool lists how to use it and what it should do.

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

  • I keep trying to install firefox for mac 10.4 and keep getting msg stating not good for this operating system. i downloaded the one for mac

    I had firefox on my mac for the longest time and woke up one day and it was gone...poof. I am trying to install it again and each time i try to download it and install i get an error message stating it is not the right browser for this operating sysytem....help me please. I did of course download the firefox for mac system

    *Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
    *Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • Does anyone know if I can print to hp photosmart 5510 from my 1st generation ipad if I can't download the drivers for the printer?

    Am trying to set up an HP Photosmart printer and it is proving much more complicated than I'd expected. I don't seem to be able to download to my ipad from the HP website - does anyone know how I manage to print, or get my ipad to recognidse the printer, if I've no printer software downloaded?
    Thanks, in anticipation, for your help

    You can't download drivers, or any other software, via a browser on the iPad. If the printer isn't the HP Photosmart 5510 e-AiO B111a which supports AirPrint, and it also isn't supported by HP's ePrint app, then you can see if any of the third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad or Print n Share work with it.

  • Satelite M30 : where can I download the drivers for my laptop

    Hi,
    I recently formated my laptop and didnt stop to think that I would need to back up my drivers. The OS was XP home edition but Ive installed XP Pro. I have lost my drivers where in Device Manager theres an exclamation mark under the heading of Other Devices:
    Base System device, Ethernet controller, multimedia audio controller, network controller, universal serial bus, unknown device, video controller (VGA compatible)
    This laptop is 2nd hand and I dont have any of the back up CDs. ekkkk!
    When I try to connect to the net whether is wireless or through a net cable there are no network configuration details. I have also lost my Toshiba software also.
    Im in deperate need of help, I would be most grateful for your help!
    Cheers
    Zisko

    Hi
    I dont know if you will be able to order the Toshiba recovery CD form the service partner in your country because you have purchase this as a second hand notebook.
    However, on the Toshiba driver page you should find all the necessary drivers and tools.

    You have to install the drivers in the right order. Chipset utility and the beginning.

  • I have a new laptop with Window 7. The navigation(?) bar comes & goes, depending on cursor position. I'd like it to be always visible.What to do?

    I have just downloaded and configured FireFox for my new computer using Windows 7. I've included classic theme restorer in my add ons. I have only 1 bar (Navigation(?)) at the top of the screen, just below the tabs. It has everything I need in it but I would like it to be stationary, rather than appearing when I move the cursor toward it & disappearing if I move the cursor away. I would like to be able to see the bar without having to disrupt what I'm doing to make it reappear.This seems to be a new feature. My old version of several weeks ago did not do this. Please help. Thank you...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I want to sync between a netbook with Windows 7 and a laptop with Windows Vista, and the bookmarks don't transfer?

    Everything else looks like it transfers (though appearance is different, I'm guessing from different Windows), but bookmarks are blank when transfer from Windows 7 to Windows Vista.

    Firefox's built-in ability to play MPEG-encoded media through its built-in HTML5 player requires the Media Foundation components of Windows.
    Some users may have blocked this from within Firefox in order to make it easier to download MP3s. To double-check on that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''media''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
    (4) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
    Then try reloading the tab with the MP3.
    If Firefox is set to use Media Foundation and it still doesn't work, maybe something is missing from Windows. Another Windows 7 user reported that they were able to fix a problem with Media Foundation using a download from Microsoft:
    <blockquote>Solved the problem, installed the Windows Media Feature Pack ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968211]) which gives you the Media Player, DVD Maker and Media Center.
    I've deactivated those three via the Control Panel and still got MP3 support.&nbsp;:D</blockquote>

  • Help! I screwed up my Lenovo Ideapad Z570 Laptop with Windows 10

    Hi So after upgrading to Windows 10 yesterday, I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 as it was a bit laggy.Now after getting the Windows from the Microsoft website and booting from a USB drive, I did a clean install of Windows 10. But after the notification tray loads, the wifi icon has a small red X mark next to it and when I select it, there are no networks being shown. When I go to settings ( Network & Internet ), on the first WiFi tab, it shows Wi-Fi as off and no matter how many times I press it doesn't stay on. I have no idea what is wrong with my laptop or why the setting is stuck on off. The master switch is set at ON. As a complete novice when it comes to these matters, I begging the community here for help as otherwise I won't be able to use my laptop without internet connection. Please help.

    Try using another computer to download the drivers for your wireless card onto a flash drive. Once the drivers are downloaded, put the flash drive into your laptop and install the drivers from there. Hopefully this will solve the issue.
    If you have an Intel WLAN card, you can go to the Intel Download Center and find your product. Alternatively, you can go to the Lenovo product page and find drivers there. Let me know if you need links .

  • Installing CS2Premium upgrade onto new laptop with Windows 8

    I am trying to install a Creative Suite 2 Premium upgrade onto a new laptop with Windows 8.  The upgrade is from Photoshop 5.0, which I also have the original discs for, but is not installed on this new laptop.  Therefore, the upgrade is not being recognized.  I tried putting the 5.0 disc in and having the installation search for it as verification, but that wasn't working.  I realize both of these programs are ancient, but they are what I have.  So be it.  :-)  Can someone help me figure out how to get my CS2 upgrade to install?

    If the scanner didn't come with the disc to download the drivers then you have NO CHOICE but to go to Fujitsu's Web Site and see if they offer a download for there drivers. It helps everyone if you fill out all of your Profile as to the year of your iMac and all of the information from about this Mac at your Black Apple.
