HP deskjet 4400 and windows 7

I have a HP Pavilion notebook, operating on Windows 7 and a HP deskjet 4400 printer, is there a driver or patch I can download which will allow the printer software to be installed on the notebook? When I try using the install disc, it says it is not formatted properly or something like that. Any ideas anyone?

Trouble with Deskjet 612C and Windows 7

I have an HP Deskjet 612C that has a parallel connection only. I have new WINDOWS 7 computer with only USB ports.The printer prints fine & I have several spare cartridges that cost a some bucks. I therefore bought a Parallel to USB cable hoping it would solve the problem. When I attached the cable, Windows responded by recognizing it (good) & announced that it was installed correctly (good). I saw the printer in devices & printers (good) & set it as my default printer. However, when I try to print something, all I get are two pages with a single line of garbage text.
Is there a simple solution to this

Welcome to our community
Unfortunately Captivate 4 wasn't created with Windows 7 in mind. Some folks here claim to be able to use it quite successfully. I fall into the camp where it refused to work.
Sounds like you may be in this category too. Bummer that.
The only way I can coax Captivate 4 to work on my own Windows 7 (Ultimate-64 Bit version) was to install the Windows XP Mode Virtual Machine and install it there. But that also means I cannot capture outside of the VM. In order to capture anything in Windows 7, I had to acquire and install Captivate 5.

HP deskjet 710c and windows 7 64 bit serial port configuration

Hi computer people,
Please help, I can't get my Hp deskjet 710c to print with Windows 7 professional 64 bit computer via non usb i.e I am using the serial port connections via computer and printer. Any solutions as to why it won't print ?

Hello PeterB91,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how you are not able to print on your Windows 7 computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Unfortunately, the only way to update the drivers for your printer on your computer is to connect the two devices with a USB cable. This will allow the installation of Plug-and-Play drivers. According to the Product Specifications for your printer, the only available connection-type is for the IEEE cable.
As a workaround, you may be able to use a USB to IEEE adapter, but this option is not guaranteed.
I hope this helps!

Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

There is an issue with the 64 bit Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers that causes the spooler to crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:
Deskjet 710
Deskjet 712
Deskjet 720
Deskjet 722
Deskjet 810
Deskjet 812
Deskjet 820
Deskjet 822
Deskjet 1000
The attached file contains a patch for this issue for Vista and Windows 7.
[The patch does not currently work for Windows 8 or 8.1 x64 systems. There are some efforts to address this, if a solution is developed it will be posted here. {Edit - I have not made any progress in getting the patch to work in Windows 8 x64.}]
First make sure the driver for the printer is installed. If the driver has not been installed go to Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, choose the proper port (for USB-Parallel converters the port will likely be USB001: or perhaps USB002: ), Next, click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.
Apply the patch as follows: Log into the computer with an administrative account. Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the paper clip at the end of this post. Save the patch file to your computer, then unzip it. Next copy the three DLL files to the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
Note that %windir% is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems this will be C:\Windows. You can click Start, Computer and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it will find the right place.
This can be done from a DOS prompt if DOS is opened with the "run as administrator" command, or from explorer with a copy and paste. Depending on your UAC settings you may need to provide confirmation. Also allow the current files to be overwritten if prompted.
This patch is not required and should not applied to a 32 bit version of Vista or Windows 7.
Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris for guidance for the patch.
Update - the following are more detailed installation instructions:
Download the patch from here. Now click on the file and open it, then extract the patch to some directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative DOS prompt by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, then right click on CMD.EXE and select Run as Administrator. Click in the DOS box then type the following:
MD c:\temp
CD \temp
Now extract the patch files into the c:\temp directory (extract all, chose c:\temp as the destination).
[Update - Windows security settings may prevent these files from being used, please open Computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties. If there is a message in Properties indicating the file was downloaded from the internet and may be blocked then unblock the file before proceeding.]
Next click back in the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (stuff in green is comments, do not type them...)
DIR *.dll (this is just to verify the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others.)
Net stop spooler (makes sure the files are not in use.)
Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)
Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)
Copy hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000)
Net Start Spooler
Exit
[Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory. You will get a warning asking if it is OK to overwrite the files, say "yes".]
At this point the patch is installed and ready to print.
Note that the printers here do not support USB connections, they have only parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer does have a parallel port use it, this will likely be much less problematic than using a USB-Parallel converter.] If you use a USB-parallel converter make sure it is supported in your operating system. The following posts are flagged with USB-parallel cables that are reported to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the USB-parallel converter in addition to the driver for the printer. For supported converters this is typically supplied automatically in Windows 7. Note: the proper port to select for the USB-Parallel converters is often USB001:. I have heard of some cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well. If the port you are using does not succeed (after applying the patch) try changing the port by going to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on your printer and select Printer Properties, then click on the Ports tab.

Driver for Deskjet 1220c (Windows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2)

Hi,
I've got a Deskjet 1220c and have recently upgraded two machines; one to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the other to Windows Server 2008 R2. Any idea where I can get printer drivers?
I'd like to try the Vista x64 drivers, though these were included on the Vista CD from MS, and not available as a separate download from HP (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00868762).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks,
Mt

Hi
I had this trobule too. Below is the instructions to install driver. Disconnect your printer. In printers select add printer. Then click windows update (need internet) allow them to update and then select 1220c printer to install leaving as standard old port. Once installed go into printer properites and update to USB port.
Bingo it works!
Refer to the below link for full instructions.

HP Deskjet 2540 and Galaxy Tab 3 - cannot print wirelessly

Hello
I would be very grateful for help with the following issue.
I have an HP Deskjet 2540 and a Galaxy Tab 3 (Android) and wish to print wirelessly from the tablet.
I have installed the ePrint app and the ePrint All-in One Remote app on the tablet.
In order to print I have to change the tablet's wifi connection from my home wifi to the printer's wifi which means that I cannot print straight from the internet.
I have tried saving web pages and then printing i.e not using the home wifi but a message appears on the tablet saying " Connect to Samsung printer".
My question is therefore, how do you print when you can only have one wireless connection on the tablet at a time i.e either the home wifi or the printer? Every time I want to print, do I have to change the wifi connection on my tablet from my home wifi to the printer's?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Sujo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you are unable to print web pages from your Android Galaxy Tab 3 tablet because you are using the printer’s wireless direct feature which does not have internet connectivity.
Let’s get the printer connected to your home wireless network. If you have a computer running a Window or Mac operating system it’s fairly easy to connect the printer. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for the operating system that is running on your computer.
If you only have your tablet available, please follow the steps in the post by @Jon-W titled “How can I setup a Deskjet 3050a/J611 to my Chromebox?”. Please start where he says “There is another alternative but it can be hit or miss”.
Once you have the printer connected to your wireless network you should be able to print web pages as both devices will now be connected to your wireless network. Please let me know how it goes.

Happytohelp01

Driver for Hp deskjet 1280 for Windows 7 x64, SP1

I can't find any way to install the driver for my Hp deskjet 1280, printer, not on the site, not in the instalation wizard, anyhwere, I saw on other forums that there were some tips; like using the Hp Deskjet 1220(c) driver from the instalation wizard in Windows, which is compatible with the 1280 printer, but there is no Hp Deskjet 1220(c) driver, only other models of Deskjet, which I have tried and they don't work with this printer. I hope you can help me.
Thank you

HI Slim2,
I am sorry to say, there is no driver or full feature software for the Deskjet 540 for Windows 7. The only available driver is for Windows XP. You may consider getting a newer printer. I would suggest you call HP. HP might be able to offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US , or you can Contact HP Worldwide.

How to align deskjet 6940 in windows 7 using windows std drivers

I have a deskjet 6940 printer installed in Windows 7 64 bit using the standard Win 7 drivers and it works fine The issue is what about aligning the printer? If you get new cartridges, the first thing you do is align the printer. Win 7 drivers do not do this. When can we get something to be able to align the printer under Win 7?
Thanks,
Vic

AFAIK the Deskjet 6940 performs an automatic alignment when a new cartridge is installed. The printer will print an alignment page and scan it automatically while printing to complete the alignment process without any user intervention required.
I think you can also force an alignment as follows: turn on the printer, then press and hold the power button and while pressing the power button press the resume button (to the right of the X button) three times, then release the power button. (This works for the Deskjet 6550 and other models, I think it applies to the 6940 as well.)

HP Deskjet 5740 Drivers, Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have had this printer working on XP for years.
I have purchased a new PC with Windows 8.1, it Works there.
I can install on XP and share with 8.1 but that is back asswards, The win 8.1 will be my main PC.
I have it installed on 8.1 and would like to share it with the XP machine.
When I try to add the printer on XP I get a message:
The server does not have the proper HP5700 series installed.
I have downloaded and installed 8,1 64 bit, OK.
Cannot use install disk from years ago.
I believe that I need to install 32 bit drivers on Win 8.1 to share with XP.
I am lost, I cannot find any thing online, just sites trying to install all kinds of garbage.
Is there an install from HP that will allow me to share 8.2 64 bit to the XP 32 bit?
Thanks,
Raney

Hey there @Raney , Welcome to the Forums!
I noticed your post about wanting to share your Deskjet 5740 from your Windows 8.1 to your XP machine. As you have found in your research, this just won't work. There are no drivers available at all for this model of printer and Windows 8.1 (check here). The old disks will not work as they're not compatible with Windows 8.1.
You will most likely have to stick with the "backwards" way unless you look into upgrading your printer.
I hope that helps clear up the situation for you.
All the best!

Vista driver for deskjet f2180 on Windows 8.1

I have a new Windows 8.1 desktop (64 bit), a Vista laptop (32 bit), and an HP F2180 printer/scanner. F2180 is connected to desktop via USB, is shared, and works fine from W81. I can't get it connected to the Vista laptop.
On the desktop, when I check the box "x86 Type 3 - User Mode", I am told to find the driver. Any idea what the file name and location are?
TIA.

Hello there TIA, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about your Deskjet F2180 not functioning on your Windows Vista system. I would recommend (from the Vista laptop), running the full driver installation. This should install the driver properly on your laptop.
Here is the link to the driver: HP Deskjet F2100 and F4100 Full Feature Software and Driver
I hope my post was informational!
Have a great day and thanks for posting

How to configure my HP deskjet 3325 for windows 8 ?

Hi,
I cannot find a driver to use for my HP deskjet 3325 for Windows 8, neither any alternative driver that fits in ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the HP Deskjet 3325 Color Inkjet Printer is unfortunately not supported in Windows 8 - so there is no driver available. The majority of HP printers not supported in Windows 8 are more than seven years old. Sorry!
Thanks!

I just got a HP Deskjet 2540 and when I try to print (direct print) from my iPad I get the message that the printer is busy

I just got a Hp Deskjet 2540 and when I try to print (direct print) from my iPad, I get the message that the printer is busy. Can anyone help?

Exactly what is the message you get and when. Presumably you are using IE9 to download the Firefox Installer file.
Try the site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html to download the latest Firefox version in the correct language.

I have a deskjet D1420 and officejet pro L7780 neither print back to front

I have a HP deskjet D1420 and a HP Officejet Pro L7780 and neither one will print the pages from the back to the front. The option to print back to front has been selected on both printers.
i.e. printing 2 pages and the last page prints first followed by the first page
Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system?
I do not think the D1420 has an automatic duplexer, but the L7780 should be able to be configured for this. See the Vista/Windows 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

Hi, I'm from Brasil. I try install HP Deskjet 930c in Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I don't have sucess. Any help-me ? Sorry my english.

When i click "windows update", the system seeks about one minute and then pop up a message saying Windows couldn't take a devices list from Windows Update. Try again later. I don't know whatelse I can do.
OK, it is not quite a direct link but try the following: go to the Microsoft catalog update site
(you will need to use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or some other
browser). In the search box select Deskjet 930c then press enter. There will be several choices presented, the 11.4MB file is the 32 bit version and the 11.6MB file is the x64 version. You can click on each title and verify which one is the proper architecture.
