Hp f2280 and Windows 8.1 pro 64bit

Hello,
I need help with my printer,
I ve recently upgraded my OS to Win 8.1 from Vista, after upgrade i' ve installed drivers from hp official website and now it begins to be weird, my pc set my printer f2280 as default etc. everything looks fine on the paper, but i am not able to even print test page. I' ve even used "Hp prind and scan doctor" by which i was able to print some weird test page but Doc said that it is driver problem, so i've uninstalled my drivers and downloaded them once more and installed them. Still cannot print, doc says the same thing. I've done it like 4 times.
Please what shall i do to make my printer work.

  • Windows 8.1 pro 64bit shutdown problems!!!

    hello:
    I assembled a new computer with following hardware:
    gigabyte x99 gaming g1.
    intel 5960X
    64gb ram
    2 gigabyte gtx 980 gaming in SLI.
    after setup windows 8.1 pro 64bit and after several restarts due to installation of MB drivers&software, graphic card drivers, windows update,....finally when trying to shut down windows, it gives the shut down screen then blank screen then loading desktop
    again!!! sounds like log off and log on again!!! also when pressing power button on computer to shut down the same thing happens again!!!
    I formatted the hard drive and reinstall windows 8.1 pro 64bit again, and without installing any drivers and updates, windows wont shutdown and the same scenario happens again!!!
    I disabled the fast start-up option in power option in system in control panel and the computer shutdown this time!!! but the computer takes so long to start windows until hard drive lamp went off.
    is there a solution to this!!!!

    You may try the followings:
    1,Boot in to Safe Mode and recheck the issue.
    2. You may try a Clean Boot.
    3. Look at the Event Viewer to find any clue related to this problem.
    4.Enable Display highly detailed status messages.
    To do this in the Start Search type in:  gpedit.msc  and hit the Enter Key.
    Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. In the right pane locate 
    Display highly detailed status messages.If you enable this policy setting, the system displays status messages that reflect each step in the process of starting, shutting down, logging on, or logging off the system
    5. Enable The Shutdown Event Tracker  to consistently track the reason for system shutdowns
    To do this in the Start Search type in:  gpedit.msc  and hit the Enter Key.
    Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. In the right pane locate
    Display Shutdown Event Tracker  and enable it.
    You must update all the drivers.

  • XB270H DRIVER in Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit Not Digitally assigned Will Not Load

    The drivers available that ACER have released are not being recognised by my system because the closest driver Windows 8 64Bit is not Digitally Assigned. So the Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit sees the monitor as a GenericPnP only and so far have had no response to when a driver that is digitally assigned by microsoft will be made available by ACER. Anyone else found similar issues with this model and driver. As we all know windows 8 is automatically updated to 8.1 and is mandatory and i would of assumed the driver would be recognised. I know i can run in test mode for the driver to work but then that means i must remain in test mode otherwise driver is removed by windows and goes back to the GenericPnP driver.    

    Having an unsigned driver is unacceptable! Philips and Asus have their drivers digitally signed! So does BenQ! It is so easy to digitally sign a driver!
    The work around is to always boot up in Windows to ignore digitally unsigned drivers?
    The driver is also not loading on Windows 7 either. Unless you manually tell Windows to use the unsigned driver!
    Next time I buy a monitor, I am going to visit the website and see if the drivers for the monitor are digitally signed!
    Acer you definitely droppe the ball on this one! Oh and by the way, none of the drivers are digitally signed for the other Acewr g-sync monitors as well!

  • Windows 8.1 something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed.

    After the release of windows 8.1 preview I attempted the installation of 8.1 preview which failed. I decided it wasn't worth the bother until it was officially released so I left it uninstalled.
    After the official release of 8.1 yesterday I opened the store on my windows 8 PC and I was presented with the Windows 8.1 download. I selected this and attempted to install. this failed with the message "Something happened and Windows 8.1 Preview
    failed to install" Whoops!
    I clearly hadn't done my windows updates to update the store so I ran these updates and in my windows store was the Official windows 8.1 download.
    Once downloaded it then fails saying "Something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed Please try again Error Code 0x80070003"
    now im stuck with that. is there a way I can clear the downloaded files and have the store re-download them? where are the stores downloads kept?
    im really stuck with this one....

    Hi,
    This error code means that the specified path couldn't be found.
    To fix this issue, I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
    Step 1: Clean update temp files:
    1. Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter. 
     2. Stop Windows update service.
    3. Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
    cd %windir%
    ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
    exit
    4.  Restart Windows update service.
    Step 2: Clear windows store catch:
    Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
    Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
    The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
    Then, please try to update Windows 8.1 again.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro in Bootcamp, can no longer drive retina display and two external monitors simultaneously?

    Greetings
    I just upgraded from Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate (Bootcamp) to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro on a late 2012 MBP 13" Retina. Prior to the upgrades, I was able to drive the retina panel and two external monitors simultaneously when operating directly in Bootcamp. Now, I can only drive 2 of the 3 simultaneously though all three are recognized under Graphic Properties. I simply cannot find any option or profile under Graphics Properties or Options or Personalization to run all three screens.
    My hardware hasn't changed and this worked prior to the updates. I have no issue on the Mac OSX can run all three. I also have no issue doing it in Windows under Parallels Desktop 10. It is just when I boot directly into Bootcamp that this happens. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    G.

    Great point, Loner T.  It was late when I was working and I thought about this afterwards also.
    The issue was that in Windows=>Control Panel=>Display, under "Change Display Settings", the three screens showed but "Extend Display"  was not selected for one of the screens. It was simply off. I can't believe I danced around this w/o picking it up sooner. In fact, it has happened in the past that for some reason a display loses this setting.
    As an aside, thanks again for all of your help and terrific input to upgrade both the Mac and Windows operating systems. As I was going from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Pro, one thing I did come across that made life much easier was to upgrade first to Windows 8 so I could keep my apps. The jump from 7 to 8.1 would otherwise migrate my personal files, but not programs and require a lot of time to reinstall all. This was completely avoided by going to Windows 8 first.
    Thanks, again, and very much appreciate the work that you do here.
    Best,
    G.

    Hi,
    This error means that your DC does not support the encryption method the ACS wants to use.
    Usually this happens when you run 2008 Server with 2003 functionality...
    You will need to run ktpass.exe according to the DC you are running:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/configuration_guide/48/cas/s_adsso.html#wp1277452.
    For Windows 2008 Server at 2003 Server functional level:
    ktpass -princ newadsso/[adserver.][email protected] -mapuser newadsso -pass
    PasswordText -out c:\newadsso.keytab -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL

    Today it doesn't,  windows 8.1 finds the other PC and creating the network, even identifying the different folders on the other PC however as I want to open a file, then loading forever starts, but
    on the other side the windows 7 PC is frozen, only the hard switch off helps. ...

  • Desktop Windows Composition and Windows 8.1 Pro x64 [SOLVED]

    Hi, I'm Jenn, also new to these forums.
    I stumbled upon a problem when switching from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 8.1 Pro x64.
    I have the EXACT same setup, same laptop, same hardware, same programs, same configuration, everything.
    Windows 7 never did anything like the problem I now have in Win 8.1. Here's the problem;
    Whenever I run more than 1 3D application, after 1-5 minutes the screen blinks, and hangs the graphics of one, some or all the programs (randomly). It doesn't hang the actual program (or game), it just stops rendering the graphics -- I can still hear the software's
    sound and if I click around, I can hear myself interacting with it.
    I have ALL the latest drivers for the computer, motherboard, ALL devices including graphics cards etc. Also ALL Windows Updates installed, nothing more to install.
    All of the programs I use is specifically set to use only the nVidia adapter, forcibly through the nVidia Control Panel, so it's not a switching graphics problem because it's a laptop. Also, never was a problem in Windows 7 either.
    Here's what I gathered from event viewer right when it happened;
    A logon was attempted using explicit credentials.
    Subject:
    Security ID: SYSTEM
    Account Name: PIXIELIGHT$
    Account Domain: HYPERUNKNOWN
    Logon ID: 0x3E7
    Logon GUID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
    Account Whose Credentials Were Used:
    Account Name: DWM-1
    Account Domain: Window Manager
    Logon GUID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
    An account was successfully logged on.
    Subject:
    Security ID: SYSTEM
    Account Name: PIXIELIGHT$
    Account Domain: HYPERUNKNOWN
    Logon ID: 0x3E7
    Logon Type: 2
    Impersonation Level: Impersonation
    New Logon:
    Security ID: Window Manager\DWM-1
    Account Name: DWM-1
    Account Domain: Window Manager
    Logon ID: 0x412659B
    Logon GUID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
    Process Information:
    Process ID: 0x304
    Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\winlogon.exe
    Special privileges assigned to new logon.
    Subject:
    Security ID: Window Manager\DWM-1
    Account Name: DWM-1
    Account Domain: Window Manager
    Logon ID: 0x412659B
    Privileges: SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
    SeAuditPrivilege
    SeImpersonatePrivilege
    An account was logged off.
    Subject:
    Security ID: Window Manager\DWM-1
    Account Name: DWM-1
    Account Domain: Window Manager
    Logon ID: 0x3E3290A
    Logon Type: 2
    So as you can see, DWM is logging in and out some account that can be all the way up to DWM-7 from what I've seen so far. It just logs in, sets some parameters and the directly logs out.
    This is a ONE-user system, Only my user account is on it, and remote login has been disabled.
    In Windows 7, at least DWM could be disabled - not that I ever had to, because it worked with all my stuff, but seeing as DWM is screwing up totally in Win8, I thought I'd just disable the server, but it's nowhere to be found.
    Also, it seems Microsoft changed how it works, the system has been redesigned to generate an OK even if it's still on, like this example below:
    DwmEnableComposition( DWM_EC_DISABLECOMPOSITION ) does not work on Windows 8, even though it returns S_OK.  Confirmation is by calling DwmIsCompositionEnabled(), which shows the former function had no effect.
    There's only 1 dwm.exe running.
    There's only 1 user logged in (me).
    There's only 1 user in the userlist (except for the Administrator account).
    Running only 1 of the softwares at a time is not an option for me, either for work or for home use, so how can I fix this?
    // Jenn

    Hi Jenn,
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh848042(v=vs.85).aspx
    In Windows 8, Desktop Window Manager (DWM) is always ON and cannot be disabled by end users and apps.
    I suggest you to download and install the graphic driver from the manufacturer and check if this issue still exist.
    As you may have two graphic cards, we could temporally disable one and check if there are compatibility issues.

  • WSUS and Windows 8.1 pro

    Hi, I have WSUS on Windows Server 2008 r2 with sp1. My laptop runs Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I have noticed that for a long time I have not seen
    Install Updates and Shut Down option when I want to shut down my laptop. In control panel there is information that updates are downloaded with an option to install these updates by clicking on
    Install. I have checked this on test Windows 8.1 Pro x64 virtual machine and the situation is the same -
    Install Updates and Shut Down option is not there but in control panel there are many downloaded updates waiting to be installed by clicking on
    Install. What is wrong here? 

    Hi,
    Choose your desktop, press Alt+F4, is there an option “Update and shutdown/restart”?
    Notification message should be displayed on logon screen. If there is nothing displayed, I would suspect either no updates available or connectivity issue
    between clients and WSUS.
    Please review windowsupdate.log and share with us.

  • Mac and Windows on MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I read a lot of hype about running Mac OSX and Windows together on the new intel machines but there seems to be no clear direction from Apple 'or anywhere else' on this except a beta bootcamp and a virtual software option.
    I have just got a Macbook Pro mainly for OSX use but I have a couple of Windows only apps on an Old PC box that I would like to run on the MacBook Pro... to save me worrying about accessing the PC and better still when I am not at home trying to get someone else to access the PC for the info.
    I see bootcamp is in Beta still yet Apple is selling the Windows Mac thing like it is the norm, easy and a fully fuctional option.
    Maybe some experianced Mac intel Mac/Windows users can answer this for me... Is it best to use Bootcamp or Parallels Mac software?
    Which option is easier to use both systems on the MBP?
    Which is more reliable?
    Many thanks guys... and girls.

    Yeah, I did not bother with boot camp because I have played that game before (Windows/Linux) and having to re-boot all the time is very annoying - especially if your in a hurry!
    I tested Parallels and XP Pro on a MACbook and it ran nicely. I did Python speed tests (Pystone.py) and found it FASTER in Windows than in OSX - pretty weird. I'm still tyring to figure out why.
    Anyway, I decided to upgrade to a MacBook Pro - I want to make sure Windoze runs as fast as it can!
    In my case, my primary need is VISIO - its the only program I have not found a MAC version of.
    Just to let you know, when I run Windows XP on the Intel Duo it takes a constant 25-35% CPU resources on both CPUS. Out of windows, the CPU % drops to 1-5%.
    On my (monster) MacBook Pro 17" with Intel core 2 Duos Windows puts both CPUs up to about (giggle) 5-10%!!! Out of Windows, its below 2%... Nice machine....
    In both tests, this is JUST to load the Windoze desktop - I'm not actually running any specific program - doing so adds a few more percent. Although, again, on the PRO laptop it does not add very much at all.
    I did not test VM ware since it was not out yet. And I need to buy and setup a fleet of support laptops NOW. When it comes out, and I hear good things, I will try it out.
    But to be honest, I would rather ditch the last of my Windows software first....

  • OS X and Windows on MacBook Pro. Can I clean install only the OS X?

    I have both OS X and Windows on my MacBook Pro. The OS X has been ridiculously slow and freezes up most of the time, especially when I use Office. The Windows partition has been working perfectly. Can I clean install just the OS X part of my computer? How would I go about doing that? I want to leave the Windows partition alone.
    Thanks!!

    Hopefully this will work:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
