HP Laserjet 4100n network printer driver fails to install

I am trying to install the printer driver for an HP 4100n laserjet on an XP machine. I have downloaded the file "hp LaserJet 4100 Printing System (61.3 MB) from the HP web site. First issue is that upon executing the setup exe file the InstallShield stops at 99%. I have to end it via Windows Task manager. Occassionally I can get to 100% but I have no idea why only occassionally. If I boot into Safe Mode I get to 100% everytime.
Once in Safe Mode the wizard seems to operate properly, finding the printer on the network and returning the correct TCP address. I get to the end of the wizard and I get a Sever Error message and the wizard terminates.
I have two laptops and one other desktop connected to the 4100n via the network. I must be doing something wrong and could use some suggestions.
Thanks

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP Printer Driver fails on install

I have tried installing this as a network printer, and as a local one. Neither install will do anything but fail.
I don't have a previous issue of HP Universal Driver either, so that can't be it.

Hi @KCinTX ,
I see that you are having issues with the install failing over the network. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
What is the error message that you are getting?
Remove the HP Universal driver from Devices and Printers and the Print Server Properties.
How to Locate Print Server Properties for Windows 7.
On the Driver tab, highlight and remove the printer.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin...
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

New printer driver failed to install on Windows 7

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I purchased a wireless printer HP Envy 5530. When I installed the driver on my HP Pavilion mini windows 7(I don't know what the product name is since it is about 3 years old) , it failed. I called the HP printer hotline and spoke with someone in India. He told me there were some errors in my computer and I should pay them $149 to have them fix my computer. I am not sure this is the way that should be, or if there is any other method I can use to solve this problem? Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP.

Resolved, not solved.
I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing a PDF

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing on a domain, this only happens when I print a PDF.
I then have to restart the print spooler to get my printouts sent to the printer. I am using a Windows 7 32 & 64 bit environment on a domain. Users who aren't on the domain experience no issues and their printer drivers remain online and not grayed out.
When I print a PDF using Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF then all works fine, the moment I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X or XI then the shared network printer driver bombs out and I am back restarting the print spooler. If we roll back to Adobe 9 then we dont have any issues.
When you create a local printer driver all works fine, the problem is we don't encourage local printer drivers due to security.
We use Ricoh printer drivers, the MPC5501 PCL5C, driver version 1.2.0.0 with PDK version 12.65. We have also tried the PCL6 printer driver and Universal printer driver. All give the same result. The printer uses Winiprint Print processor using RAW as the default data type.
We have contacted Adobe Global Support who advised that they cannot assist with this query as this is on a Domain environment and we have to contact our IT Department.
We would really appreciate some professional help here to get a fix for this issue in order to address potential future occurance's

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
the driver? This is the point of my question!
I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

DP
The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1
windows XP system.
Cannot add the Adobe PDF printer get the error message:
Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed
Software installs/repair try to install the Adobe PDF printer but they do not. No error message; just that the Adobe PDF printer does not show up
I tried adding the Adobe PDF printer manually.
The drivers start to load and then fails giving the error message in the subject line.
I cleared the print spoolers and rebooted.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat /rebooted/reinstalled. Install says it adds the Adobe PDF printer but nothing happens.
Problem exists for all users including Administrators.
I have renamed the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\Printers folder.
Both are recreated when I try to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer.
I can add network printers with no errors.
I have cleared Adobe PDF printer from registry. e.g.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Adobe PDF Converter
I even imported Adobe PDF registry entry from a working system taking care to adjust the system values accordingly.
I also verified permissions for registry keys and application/driver folders were set correctly.
I have completely reloaded the installation software and imported the Adobe PDF drivers from a working system.
Not sure if this an Adobe issue, but that appears to be the only printer I cannot re-add.
Any constructive ideas on what to try next would be appreciated.

When I upgraded to Reader 9.4 I lost all ability to print Adobe pdf's. Finally uninstalled 9.4, re-installed 8.2, changed the filename "high quality.joboptions" to "Adobe PDF converter.joboptions" and was back in business. Pretty screwey fix, but after getting no help from online chats with Adobe and a day's lost work I was happy to have it.

Summary:
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my G580. Everything is working fine except the WLAN driver fails to install with the error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file".
Details:
I bought lenovo G580 with Windows 8. Since my parents are not comfortable with the learning curve of Win 8, I successfully downgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Everything is working fine but my WLAN card is not recognized because of lack of driver.
The lenovo parts look-up page says I have broadcom WLAN card - CBT BCM4313 MOW HMC WLAN
I looked at lenovo driver downloads site and tried following driver files for Windows 7 and both of them failed to install with the following error. I tried installing other WLAN drivers also but they won't even install as required hardward is not there.

Thank you.

Start setup and extract the files.After that go to star menu/control panel/system/device manager.There you probably find out that network adapter driver is missing.Choose it and click with right mb for drop menu to show up.Select properties then Driver/Update Drivers...Select to load driver from computer hard drive and choose the path where extract files is.Default path is main partion C: and search for directory named Driver.
And yes...you get "Can not find setup file" error but dont worry.Files needed to instal driver are extract fine.

Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

HP Laserjet 4100N - Cannot Load Driver or Print

My Laserjet 4100N is on our LAN. We have never had any problems with it at all.
We installed Snow Leopard yesterday.
We now cannot get any of our Macs to print.
The only "driver" loaded: "ADOBE PDF 9.0-1"
When in the "Print & Fax" control panel, we try to add a printer, the "default" appears, which is "Adobe PDF 9.0-1."
When we try to choose "other" a list of drivers comes up. We select the proper driver, but nothing works.
The printer is configured for DHCP.
We do not understand the "IP" option at all.
The entire print & fax interface presents a cryptic mystery to the user, a la Windows. 10.5 was far better.
We are at a loss as to what to do.

Thank you, though this does seem a step backwards for Apple.
I mean, maybe they should have done away with Appletalk, I don't know, but I found nothing anywhere that told me that or that explained what any of the terminology in the "IP" printer setup meant, etc.
Also, my router currently assigns an IP address to the Printer via DHCP, which I've always found convenient. I guess that's all over with. Will Apple publish something that helps us non-techies through the process for each printer on a LAN?
Seems very Microsoft to me.

Xerox workcentre 7225 print driver fails while searching for networked printer

HelloJoe,Thanks - So I took those steps and the printer is created as a local printer using a TCP/IP port with the proper IP address for that printer. It appears I can get to its property pages. But when I try to print, the job goes to the queue and it just hangs eventually timing out and it shows error for printing that document... I can ping the IP adddress from the PC and it returns pings. ?

This unit is working fine from several other PCs, WIN 7 and WIN XP, in the building. Installing on a WIN7 64 bit PC. During the installation it starts to look for the networked printer and stops, posting the message - [ Xerox windows common installer has stopped ] , then installer just hangs. I have uninstalled and tried the following versions with the same error - Date: 2 Jun, 2014Version: 5.351.8.0.0Size: 17.7 MBFormat: EXEand tried Global Print driver Date: 15 Dec, 2014Version: 5.404.8.0Format: WWW NOTE - I even tried a manual driver installation which appears to work but the printer fails to print - returning a print error and cancels the job. Help,Jim

HP Laserjet 4250 Network Printer Connection Issues

Hello
We have a HP 4250 Laserjet network printer set up as a shared printer on our Windows Server 2003 32-bit print server.
We are using the latest PCL 5e 32-bit drivers and have now added the PCL 5e 64-bit drivers to accomodate a new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Laptop. However, although it appears to pull the driver across properly, it fails to communicate and complete the installation with the following error:
"Printer Cannot Connect Operation Failed' error 0000007e
I have apoplied the hotfix addressed which addresses a similar problem but this made no difference. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981070/en-gb
Any ideas what I could try next?
