HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 (M375nw & M475dn) - Driver packages will not install

Hello all,
I need some assistance with a very persistent and frustrating issue trying to get driver software packages for our LaserJet M375nw & M475dn to install correctly. We are running Windows 7 Pro x64 on HP 8300 desktop PCs.
We have these printers printing properly via our print server and the proper .inf driver but need the ability to scan to the PC. I would like to install the HP-provided software packages (which include the Scan driver & utility) but am running into the error below.
"A problem occurred while preparing to install software to your system. Please restart your computer, and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please check the product support web site for your product."
I get this error at 80% in the "preparing to install" process. I am using the latest drivers from the website for each of these models (which actually use the same package). I have tried both the Full and Basic driver package with the same results.
We have these printers installed via a static IP on the Network, not USB. I am trying to install as a Local Administrator. UAC is disabled. The PC is fully updated and doesn't have much in the way of custom software. It has SCCM client, MS SQL Native Client, Google Earth, Adobe, Trend Micro AV, OnBase, Office 2007 and Chrome installed.
Here are some of the things I've tried w/o success:
Tried installing with latest drivers from HP website
Ran all Windows updates
Ran the Scrubber uninstaller provided in the package / Running "uninstall" executable from HP software
Disabled all non-MS startup programs/services in msconfig, disabled Antivirus, rebooted, tried to again
Restarting computer (many, many times between different troubleshooting steps)
Tried disabling "Smart Install" (though I think this only applies to USB connections)
Checked print spooler - it indeed is started/running properly
Uninstalled all HP-branded software
Can any of you offer some help please? I'm not sure what to try next.
Some other posts I've looked at w/ no success are:

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that the driver software will not install for your HP Officejet 200 MFP printer on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this installation issue for you! What is your printer's Product/Model Number? (ie: HP Laserjet 200 MFP, etc.) To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As I am having a little difficulty locating the type of printer that you have. In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the outcome!

T410 System Update 4 - Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver "Package did not install" Error

I've not had a problem with system Update 4 until today. I went out to check for any updates and there was only one (Optional) listed so I went ahead and tried to install it.
It is Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver for Windows 64bit. The installed version is 9.5.7.1002 and the version trying to be installed is 9.6.0.1014. The progress bar indicated it downloaded and tried to install, but ended with the error, "1 Package did not install." Not a lot of help in that statement!?!
Has anyone had a problem like this before? Any idea how to "fix" it so I can install this update?
I even tried once with MS Security Essentials, Windows Firewall and UAC turned off with no difference.
System details are in my sig, below.
Thanks for any help,

Yup, that's what I ended up doing - download and install the standalone file. Installed just fine

Driver update will not install

I have older model Audigy Platinum. Recentlt installed it in a new DAW, running Windows Media Edition, The problem is upon using my old install disk the Creative Emu0kx ASIO drivers install, I downloaded and attempted to install the updated SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006, After unpacking and beginning to install the updater first uninstalls the previous version but will not install the update. Truely becoming very irritated. Creative support and development is weak, they rarely issue better driver sets, falsely overstate stats, and performance. Soon very soon Creative products will be history , and I'll never purchase another...

Hi,
Try resetting te printing system as listed for Lion below and check if that may help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
If that doesn't help go to Library\Printers and move the HP folder to the trash.
Next go to Library\Printers\PPDs\Contents\Resources. Search for 1050 within the folder and move the results to the trash.
Reboot your Mac, try adding the printer under Print & Scan again and check for any change.

Mid-2009 MacBook Pro sees internal SATA hard drive, but will not boot from or format

I inherited a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz model) with a very strange issue.
It first presented itself as not being able to boot from the internal SATA hard drive that came with the computer. Nothing I tried could get it to boot, so I assumed the file system was corrupted beyond repair and booted from a CD to try to format the drive. Disk Utility on the CD would not format the drive, giving me strange error messages like "Unable to write to the last block of the device".
At this point I figured the drive itself must be toast, so I pulled it out and put another known-good SATA hard drive in, booted from CD, and attempted to format. Again, same error messages and an unsuccesful format.
So I had the bright idea of formatting one of the drives in an external enclosure and then putting it in the MBP to see if OS X would even install. No dice. Get a cryptic error message before installation even begins.
So I installed OS X on the drive in the external enclosure and put it in the MBP, and it attempts to boot, but never goes anywhere.
So to sum up, the symptoms I'm seeing:
MacBook Pro CAN see internal SATA hard drives.
MacBook Pro WILL NOT boot from any internal SATA hard drive and cannot format or install OS X to any internal SATA hard drive.
MacBook Pro WILL boot from any CD or external device and seems to work properly otherwise.
At this point I'm thinking it's one of two things: the hard drive ribbon cable or the SATA controller on the logic board.
Since the MacBook Pro seems to work completely fine other than this one issue, and will boot properly from both external devices and the CD (also a SATA device), I'm thinking and hoping that it's just the hard drive ribbon cable. From my searches online, I've heard that this batch of MacBook Pros is known to have issues with the hard drive ribbon cable, but it seems in most cases this manifests itself by the Mac not being able to see a drive at all.
I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting to get to this point, but right now I'm just looking for any feedback at all. Specifically I'd love to know a way I can easily test to see whether it's the logic board or the cable.

UPDATE: An interesting development!
I just tried a third known-good SATA hard drive, one which I believe supports SATA I only (but I'm not sure), and unlike the other drives that the Mac sees but cannot properly interact with, the Mac can't even see this one when I put it inside.
Frustrating as this may be, I believe I'm actually getting closer to a solution since my symptoms now appear to be closely aligned with people having SATA ribbon cable issues.
Onward!

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing

Makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing.

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?

If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

Laserjet pro 300

I installed LaserJet Pro 300 with Windows 8 and it worked great for several months. Upgraded to 8.1 and have experienced problems everyday. The print queue won't clear when I delete documents; starting and stopping the spooler doesn't clear the queue and shutting off the printer and restarting doesn't always work either. Have received message from HP multiple times to Reinstall HPLJ300-400 color MFP M375-M475 -- to use this printer with Windows 8.1, you must reinstall it using the original installation media or download files. Done, DOne and DONE! Nothing works. . .when is this known issue going to be fixed and a patch available.

LaserJet Pro 300 M351A Wireless Accessory?

On the HP website it clearly states that my printer (HP LaserJet Pro 300 color M351) DOES have a "wireless capability" ...
This statement is to be found under the "Technical Details" section in the paragraph entitled "Connectivity and Communications":
Wireless capability - Optional, enabled with purchase of a hardware accessory
I've Googled high and low and I cannot find out:
What is meant by "a hardware accessory"
Is it a print server device? Is it a wireless usb adapter? What?
I have an urgent need to add this device to a small wirless network, but I can't figure oyt how to?
Please help - anyone?

HP Laserjet Pro 300 won't power up fully

I've had an HP Laserjet Pro 300 for 4 months and I haven't had any issues until today.
I ran a few scans without issue and then in the middle of a scan, it just quit scanning. It seems to have lost connectivity.
I shut the printer down and attempted to re-boot it. It started booting then it quit shortly afterward and didn't finish booting. The power is up but it doesn't load fully.
I have tried rebooting the computer connected to the printer and I have unplugged the power cord and printer connection and attempted to re-boot the printer several times but it has been the same result for a couple of hours.
I also unplugged the printer for over an hour in case it was simply overheating but it wouldn't re-boot after that either.
Any suggestions?

This is as far as it loads.

Can I get an HP Laserjet pro 300 Color laserjet multifunction printer to work in OSX 10.7.5. the disk says it only supports OS.6

Help. I just purchased an HP Laserjet Pro 300 multifunction laserjet printer for a new home office. I tried to load it on my Macbook Pro which has the OSX 10.7.5 operating system and the disk says it only goes to OSX 10.6. Do I need to return this heavy printer?

Ditch the disk.
If the Mac is up to date with all system updates, it probably is already carrying all it needs to talk to the printer. Just open the Print & Scan perfpane in System Preferences and get the two talking (USB: plug it in, Network: type in the IP address, if the Mac hasn't discovered it already), give it a few seconds and just confirm the correct model has been chosen. Many times the printer will pop up in the list on its own accord, else use the plus ( + ) button to add manually. Holler if you need more help.

Set up for scan to email for Laserjet pro 300 MFP M 375nw

I am trying to set up a scan to email on my Laserjet pro 300 MFP M 375 and with my IP for my computer, I get as far as filling out the required forms. All is well until I have to enter a password. It will be rejected. I have forgotten the password I initially used. I would like to know how I can remedy the situation and insert a new password. NO one seems to be able to help with this problem

Greetings , I may be able to help you with renaming your scans. Now, I was not able to find any setting that would automatically increase the scan numbers when using the Scan to Email settings. If you use the Scan to Computer option it will number them the way you are describing; Scan0001, Scan0002, ect... That being said, you are able to manually rename the scan file during the Scan to Email process.When you choose Scan then EmailThen choose you outgoing email profileYou should see a Settings button on the bottom left of the display screenScroll through options and select the one that says FilenameEdit the scan file name using the onscreen keyboard Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,
