HP LaserJet 2600N & Windows 7 64-bit - Can't Complete Install or Uninstall

The printer will not completely install on my new laptop via my home network ... simply dies part-way through the process.
- It puts the Toolbox on my desktop which is unuseable - shows no printer.
- No printer shown under printers
- HP uninstall routine on disk dies with a "setup error"
- Can't find any HP file online to completely remove this garbage and get another brand that will actually work ... with a company that actually updates their drivers and provides "real" customer support.

You should try the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD), which does list your device model as supported by the driver.  Go to www.hp.com/go/upd, hit the DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE.  Select a Windows 7 x64 OS, then I recommend trying the PostScript (PS) driver.  The installer will prompt a few questions-- select "Traditional Mode", provide your port information, etc, proceed.

  • Color Laserjet 2600n Windows 7 -64 Bit Looking for HP Toolbox

    ‎01-09-2014 08:30 AM
    I'm having trouble finding the HP Toolbox.    I have a Color Laserjet 2600n.   OS is Windows 7 - 64 Bit.  When I print checks, I notice a slight shadowing of the numbers.  Thinking it may need cleaned, but I cant find my toolbox anymore and have to tried to look online.  I saw something regarding there was no toolbox for Windows 7.  Is this still the case?  When I print on paper everything looks fine.  Also, anything I print that has red in it doesnt not print very well.  This has been a problem for several years.   I had XP until March 2013 and then got a new computer.  Before the computer switch I cleaned and aligned the printer several times, but still no red print.
    Thanks,

  • No Protection Tools! I have enabled enhanced security. This is Acrobat XI on Windows 7 64-bit. Did same install on a Win8 server and it's fine.

    I just want the protection tools to show on the Tools dropdown! So I can use them...

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks for putting me in the right place. I'm not much of an
    online-community person!
    Here's what happened after your email:
    1. I went into Acrobat and clicked the down arrow as you described. I
    previously had been clicking in the View menu. I saw the Protection
    tools and I was so excited.
    2. So then I clicked on "allow multiple panels open" whereupon the
    Protection tools disappeared! They did not reappear when I unclicked the
    "allow multiple panels open".
    3. Remembered that I hadn't reinstalled the updates after reinstalling
    Acrobat in hopes that would fix this problem, so I installed the
    updates. I'm now on 11.0.07.
    Sadly, still no protection tools appearing in either the View-> Toolsets
    or the down-arrow in the upper-right corners of the Tools panel. Bummer.
    This is so strange, since the same installation worked great on our Win8
    server!

  • Can't Complete Install

    Can't complete install of Photoshop Elements 10 & Premiere Elements 10, Disc 5.  Prior disks loaded fine but Disc 5 causes a window from my Lexmard printer to open which asks "What do you want to do? View & Print or Save to PC?"  Although I close the window, I cannot get the disc to be read & uploaded.  Lexmark suggested I contact Adobe?  Just bought this software for my spouse for Father's Day and am really frustrated.

  • Hp laserjet 1022 windows 7 (64 bit) won't install printer, what can i do?

    1. HP LaserJet 1022 Printer 
    2. Windows 7 64-bit
    3. No Error Message
    4. The only changes made to the system are security upgrades from Windows Updater. This is a new computer and the old one was running XP. 
    I have tried removing the printer, downloading newer software (lj1020-HB-pnp-WIN64-en) and trying to install it, adding the printer through windows and still the printer will not work. The cd version will run until it asks you to plug in the printer and then nothing happens. I even tried leaving it running overnight to see if it would find it and install, but nothing happened. This printer is a workhorse for me and I would like to keep it running, any suggestions on getting this printer recognized and running again?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    In the Device Manager see if the 1022 is listed under Other devices.
    Under "Other devices" right click on HP 1022
    Select "Update Driver Software...."
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

  • Laserjet 1505 Windows 7 64 bit problems

    Hello,
                I work for a community college in the IT dept. We are currently upgrading our computers to Windows 7 64 bit OS. I have two computers which have a Laserjet 1505 with them. I have tried several combinations of drivers, including the downloadable CD equivalent software. I can get the test page to print out just fine but when i leave and the user try's to print anything it starts to go through a sequence of trying to print for at least 3 rotations. The error lights will flash in sequence and no error message pops up on the screen. If I log into a local admin account and try printing a test page the error will seem to go away, for a time at least. However printing on envelopes may slow down. It seems as though this may be a permissions issue. A power cycle will also seem to wreck havoc on the printer as well. I dont think this is a driver issue because things seem to change just by changing logged in user. However I could be wrong about that. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I would first like to thank the HP tech support for all the help with this issue. Your dedication to your customers was pivotal in this 3 week long troubleshooting process.
    Now for anyone out there who may have a similar problem and don't feel like being jerked around for more money by the greedy corporation HP, Ill share my fix for this issue.
    Log in to an administrator account and then go to Devices and printers.  Right click on the P1505 printer icon and select Printer Properties.  Go to the security tab at the top.  Select everyone and give them all the options in the check boxes that you can.  This includes Manage this Printer, Manage Documents and Print.  This solved the issue of the printer slowing down and "Practicing printing" before actually printing.
    I don't know why these privileges were causing the printer to fault but it appears that there was some change in how the default settings operate between XP and windows 7.

  • HP Laserjet 1022n & Windows 7 64-bit & spooling

    My home network has three desktop computers, one laptop and one tablet. Two of the desktops, plus the tablet are all running Windows 8.1. The laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit Professional, while the third desktop is running Windows 7 64-bit Home. All of the computers use the network to connect to the Laserjet 1022n printer that is also connected to the network (hard-lined). The Laserjet does have the latest Firmware installed onto the printer. All three of the devices that are using Windows 8.1 are able to connect and print fine from the printer, however it is the two Windows 7 computers that are having issues with the printer.
    The problem is that the spooling is not resetting once a print job has been sent. The print job will continuously print the print job indefinetly unless I go into the "c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers\" folder and manually clear out the spool. I have downloaded both the Full HP software as well as the basic driver for the Laserjet onto both Windows 7 computers. I have tried running the repair feature and as well as just using the basic driver to add the printer. Nothing seems to be working correctly.
    The ONLY way for me to get the printer to work is to use one of the Windows 8.1 computers as a middle-man; connecting to that computer and sending the print job through that computer. Only issue is that it takes forever to spool the print job to the Windows 8.1 computer before it can start printing. These are fairly new computers; both purchased in the last year. Both have 4 Gigs of RAM so that is not the reason. So I am not sure what is going on.
    None of the computers are directly cabled to the printer and the main Windows 7 computer that I really need to have working with the laserjet is on the opposite side of the house (the Windows 7 laptop does not use the print feature that much,  so it is not AS critical).
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the HP Forums Hinalover,
    I see by your post that you are having issues with the print spooler on the Windows 7 computers.
    I can help you with this issue.
    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 running the Microsoft Fix It Tool to see if it will fix the print spooler.
    Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically.
    You can also run the System File Checker to repair corrupted or missing files.
    System File Checker: Run sfc /scannow & analyze its logs in Windows 7 | 8.
    You might end up having to do a repair of Windows.
    Please let me know the results.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • I need driver for laserjet 4000n windows 7 64 bit

    When I try to install my Laserjet 4000N printer on my HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC running windows 7 64 bit I am prompted to select windows update. The response is always "Windows was unabl;e to get a list of devices from Windows update. Try again later"
    When I go to the HP site and try to download the driver i get a message "You do not need to download drivers for this product. Print drivers for your product are available within the Windows 7 operating system. Use Devices and Printers, formerly known as the Add Printer Wizard, to obtain the Windows 7 update. For more information,  go to Install the Printer Driver through the Windows 7 Operating System"
    A perfect Catch 22. What do I do now?

  • HP Laserjet 1012 Windows 7 64-bit Driver

    I cannot find a Windows 7 64-bit driver for my Laserjet 1012. Has anyone else had any luck?

    Win 7 X64 works with my Trusty HP Laserjet 1012.
    From Start/Devices and Printers.
    Choose add a printer.
    Had to use Windows update at the bottom of the install printer driver window because the HP Laserjet 1015 was not on the list of HP printers. But after the update there it was "HP Laserjet 1015".
    I did the intstall and it is working on my Win7 x64 machine and Office 2010. By the way, I chose Generic IEEE 1284.4 as the printer port (See comment below)
    If you look on the HP website, they show the most recent drivers only for Vista x64 but the drivers are for the HP Laserjet 1010, 1012, 1015. So 1015 drivers will work but I did the install through Windows add printer as stated earlier in this thread and seems Win7 offers support for this legacy printer.
    Comment:
    Oddly the HP HP Laserjet 1012 also shows in unspecified devices on the Devices and printers page and did so before I installed the printer...I could not delete it but right clicking and Running Troubleshout gave me the choice to fix it saying "The driver for Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device." I believe chosing Apply this fix would have made it work. I am hoping on reboot it dissapears from unspecified. I will repost later
