HP C410b, Windows XP SP3, is there a fix for svchost excessive cpu utilisation in wired network

PC has ground to a halt because of excessive svchost cpu activity.  Seems to be searching for the printer all the time (even though static ip set).  I can manually stop the HP Network Services but every time I use the printer it starts again and the current driver set doesn't stop it again.  Is there a solution (new driver or workaround) or do I try USB to one PC and printer sharing?
I'm annoyed by this, especially as other models seem to have had the same issue over a few years and the manuals are so simple as to be useless.

  • Is there any fix for the flashplayer installer not working on a windows 7, 64-bit, using firefox?

    I Hit the download link, get the permission windows, and the flashplayer installer window comes up, but doesn't do anything. i left it up all day when i went to work, come home 12 hours later and it was still just sitting there not installing. Is there a fix for this? i have looked everywhere and nothing that i have found has worked. even the suggestions on the adobe help page doesn't work..

    And you used the offline installers from the link that Andy posted:

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    Hi DJ2512,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 2512 that is not able to open the Printer Assistant, it opens to text pages. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to assist you!
    From what you've described, it sounds like your Printer Assistant is opening to a Notepad page. I'd suggest that you follow this HP Printer Assistant Opens with a Script Error or in Notepad document to get the issue resolved.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

    Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
    Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro? 
    ( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display.  cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
    Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
    An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker.  After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes.  One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
    It sure would help me if this could be solved.  I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
    Thanks for any help.  If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

    The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference.  If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
    The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
    The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6.  A real pain, of course.
    It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
    Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
    I have yet to get a handle on this.  Mac OSX 10.6.8    CS6 13.0  x64
    Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.

  • I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this?

    I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

    Parrotcat wrote:

    In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.

  • When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

    When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
    The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
    Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
