HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn.  I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server.  I downloaded them from here..

when i get the file, lets say for windows 7/64bit, i choose...
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
24 Sep 2014 21.3
I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run.  the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go?  They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ???  really?   is this this basic stuff? 
Where are the files?  this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers! 
Thanks!
Jason
UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone. 

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

  • Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

    The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
    Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
    These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks.  One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
    Where did the drivers go, HP?

    This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 - Can't scan from Windows

    We recently purchased and installed an HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 to be used as a networked all-in-one solution for a number of offices. I have been able to get it set up on our network and have installed the appropriate drivers on the requested Windows 7 x64 machines, and network printing works perfectly. However, it seems that despite the fancy scanning features available from the all-in-one itself (scan to email, scan to a network folder, etc.), I can't find any way to do an old-fashioned scan from Windows.
    I have installed the full software solution available on the driver download page for the device, and while Windows lists the device as a "Multi Function Printer; Scanner" it does not recognize it as an actual scanner. The built-in Windows Fax and Scan simply reports that no scanners are installed. The software installation did not include the HP Solution Center (which I am used to seeing from my experience with various other HP all-in-one devices) or any equivalent for direct scanning. The driver download page for the device does not include any separate scanning drivers, so I can't be certain if they were included with the full installation or exist at all.Some of our staff also use Adobe Acrobat to scan, and even that fails to recognize the MFP as a scanner.
    We'll eventually be setting up the device to scan directly to a network folder, but we need a fallback while IT takes their time getting it set up; I can't imagine that the simplest option is not available at all. I must be missing something here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Edit: To add, I also ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Interestingly, it reports the device as a printer and only offers to "Fix Printing" without any sort of resolution for my scanning problem.

    Cheers, Denis.

  • LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 walk up usb printing

    We have a few  LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 that we use with walk up usb printing.
    the problem is that somtimes when a document is saved directly on the usb drive you get two files called "documentname.pdf" and "._documentname.pdf", now the hidden file is normaly a few kb in size and no problem exept it shows up as the first documents on the printer and this makes the printer spew out random characters,
    is there a way to make the printer not show hidden files?
    (model number: CF082A)

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • Where did the Secure Site Icon go ?

    I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but
    Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !
    I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ?
    Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT !
    I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

    Every financial institution (bank, credit union,...), every news outlet (print/TV/Radio/blog) reaches out to millions of elderdly folks and other non-geeks and tells them to run away as soon as they dont see a Key or Lock on a secured page (or maybe so-called secured page from what I get you are trying to push through).
    This is a major Change Management disaster waiting to happen... Not just for Firefox but for every web site using secure transactions. Countless organisations are going to get calls from users telling them, "Your site is not secured, Oprah and CNN told me so".
    Go for color scheme or other visual indicator to warn of security level, but absolutely dont lose the icon !

  • Where did the analogue in feature go?

    Where did the analogue in feature go?
    None of the HD cameras I have searched for have a analogue input. In fact, I have found only one MD camera that has that capability.
    http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11038809

    Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
    I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
    iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.

  • Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?

    Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?
    All text prints too small. Settings for font size haven't changed and the emails print out much smaller than the view settings.
    I don't see the options for "Rewrap message to fit" or "Keep fonts the same size".
    Suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Text and the info with the "To" header all prints very small. I also cannot find the controls described. Just updated to Mavericks, never had problem before this. Same printer, and problem also occurs on another different model printer I tried for a test.

  • My iphone says I have 331 songs but only 139 can be played...where did the others go? How to get them back?

    The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over?  I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.
