  • Pavilion dv7-4060us Color Printing Problems...

    I just bought a new Pavilion dv7-4060us Notebook and am having problems printing in color.  I have a Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS Printer that I'm trying to connect to through a wireless network connection.  I can find the printer on the network and install the "Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS" driver online just fine.  But, after all that, when I try to print, it will only print in Black and White.  For some reason it just will not print in color.  I've looked through all my "printer properties" and it doesn't even show color options!  It's like my computer just doesn't even recognize that the printer can print colors.  Like maybe that printer's driver is for some reason not recognizing it as that actual printer?!
    I tried deleting the printer and the driver off my computer and installing it using the printer's original CD, but it says it's not compatible with Windows 7 OS.  But installing the driver via online and using the CD should basically be the same thing shouldn't it?  So that can't be the problem.  The "HP printer help website" doesn't really help at all because it's a Xerox printer and not an HP.  After reading through some forum posts I figured maybe it was a firewall problem, but wouldn't the firewall stop me from printing all together...not just prevent me from printing color?  
    Has anyone seen this happen before or heard of anything like this happening?  Right when I got the computer I kind of went through and deleted a few things I thought were Crapware, so the only thing I can think of right now is that maybe I accidentally deleted some kind of software program that lets me print color?!  Which doesn't really make any sense, so I don't think that's it.
    Also, I know it's not a Windows 7 OS problem or my wireless connection because my brother's computer uses Windows 7 and connects through wireless as well, but his can print color just fine.  He set his computer up like a year ago so he can't remember how he set it all up or what he did, so he's kind of useless.
    As of right now the only thing I can think of to do is try posting on this HP help forum and post on the Xerox Printer help forum and see if anyone has any advice for me.  If you have any ideas I'm up for trying anything because I pretty much NEED to be able to print from this computer!!  Any information can help out a lot so just let me know.  Thanks!

    I have exactly the same problem with my dv7-4171us, my husband has the same printer and it print fine on my Xerox but mine only prints in black and white, its very frustrating.  I called HP and after 2 hours on the phone they couldnt fix it either.
    I'm thinking of doing a full "f11" factory restore.  If anyone knows how to fix the color printing problem please let me know.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6b03sg does no longer start

    The laptop of my daughter does no longer start. It does not react at all. When connected to the power adapter the LED next to the power plug of the laptop is white, if the battery is not inserted and yellow, if the battery is inserted.
    All other LEDs don´t react at all.
    Hardware reset did not help.
    Any idea about the reason?

    Dead motherboard. Sorry. 

  • HP Pavilion DV7-4177nr no boot blinking CAPS LOCK and F12 solid led amber light

    - hard power reset: same issue
    - took out RAM: no beeping, ok motherboard issue
    - replaced motherboard: same issue, crap
    - returned motherboard (glad there a return policy)
    - replace CPU: same issue, super crap
    i'm out of ideas...
    any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Zac

    OK, I installed a new CPU and fan, cleaned it all up, used artic silver, and also cleared the CMOS.  Installed the latest bios.  I got windows to boot, and run well.  However the keyboard and touch pad didn't work regardless of what was tried (installed new drivers, windows driver, uninstalled, dos command prompts yada yada....I did it all still nothing) The ext mouse/keyboard work fine.  It's probably a hardware issue, as the laptop keyboard/mouse doesn't even work in F2 diagnoistics mode.  Everything has been disassembled and reassembled multiple times, new keyboard installed, contacts cleaned and positioned properly, etc.
    The laptop keyboard does work in the BIOS settings scren, so perhaps it's not a hardware issue?
    Anyways, I decided to run system recovery restoring it to out of the box state with no saving of any prevous files of any kind. At about 30% the system shuts down once the fan starts spinning fast (I suspect the CPU is getting too hot even though the laptop is raised and nothing blocking the fan exhaust holes)  I tried to do a recovery twice, and still it failed.
    Could I install a new heat sink, new mobo, and mess around with this until it all works?  Sure.  Could I repartition the hard drive so that only windows is installed an all the HP junk removed for easier faster use?  Sure!
    But why should I when I can just sell it as is and be done with HP.  I bought this used for $300 and it worked for a good year without issues.  I'll recoupe my losses selling it for $200 and be done with HP.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start up and it is just showing the grey screen?

    My Apple Mac book pro is not starting up ,the screen is grey

    If you are running Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion/Mountain Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Start Process and inherited handles on Windows

    My application starts a launch-and-forget process using ProcessBuilder.start. That process keeps a handle to a file of mine that was opened (and I guess not closed) by a dll I called but didn't write. That's messing me up when I try to replace or re-write that file. (The sub-process has no interest in that file.)
    The Windows CreateProcess function has a "inherit handles" boolean. Is there someway I can get Java to set that boolean to false?

    Also to be sure you need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 if not 3 (XP3) as Firefox since version 13.0 will not work on XP1 or older.

  • Logic Pro does not start up and wants to activate trial

    Hi,
    Today, somehow my Logic Pro 7 stopped running regualrely after working perfectely for over 2 years and some months on my new macbook.
    I wanted to start up logic an hour or so ago, XS key plugged in aswell, and instead of starting, it stopped with loading buffer size and displays something like "klick here if you want to activate a trial before buying Logic".
    I think this is kind of strange, because also neither my computer nor my key have been connected to the internet or so and so i have not done any upgrades for the software or so. I don't know if it is just on the macbook or if it won't run either on any other computer.
    Did anybody ever come across this problem or did you hear about it and have advice for me??
    thanks in advance,
    Johannes

    Ok, the problem seems indeed to be related with the XSkey.
    Today I tried to run Logic Pro on another Computer with my XSkey, but it neither works there.
    Logic asks me if I want to try it out for a limited amount of time before buying it, but It is a bought Version already...
    The problem at the moment is that I will need Logic next week and I don't see a way to get it running, although the macs it occured with were not my Powermac at home I'm gonna use then.
    Just, I read something about XSkeyupdater on a link List in this Forum or so, so could this maybe be something that could help???
    So, if somebody got an answer to my problem pls tell me.
    Kind regards,
    Johannes

  • M73 start problems and corrupted registry after windows updates

    Hi,
    we are a Lenovo reseller, having had not a lot troubles so far with M72 models in the past.
    Since M73 the problems have dramatically exploded. We had so far 5 machines, on which we had to run the Factory Recovery as the OS won't start or was corrupted. It appears that especially after a windows updates the chances of a not starting Windows is very high - Windows repair mostly fails.
    Is this a known issue? Does others have the same troubles? Any chance to fix this?
    We are currently reviewing all Lenovo installations and will decide whether we still want to sell them or not. Our business clients are not happy about such an instable installation.

    We purchased many M72e's and recently appx 100 m73 standard builds and 100 recent custom M73 ax builds, we are regretting this right now. We are scrambling to try to keep these machines functioning properly. At first they seem good but they have tons of issues we are discovering, out fo our  new 100, so far we have 10 dead machines, another bunch that have usb issues even after doing bios updates. Many pc's have issues with usb devices not working in one port but will in another. I believe lenovo has a serous problem on their hands with these machines they don't realize or want to admit.
    Being the reseller puts you in a bad spot with a product like this. I believe this is a huge liability to anyone at this point in time, I will be going back to our reseller to deal with lenovo b/c I didn't get the help I was looking for with them directly. GOOD LUCK!

  • How do I forces FF 23 to open maximized, not full screen, but maximized, both on start up and when opening new windows?

    Firefox 23 does not open maximized nor does it open new windows maximized. As such I have to manually maximize each window.
    Run is set to maximized in the shortcut properties, yet it still opens in a normal or less than normal size window.
    Older versions open maximized with no problem. I have Profile manager configured so that I can run multiple versions at the same time and everything opens maximized except FF 23.
    is there some setting in the about:config interface or is this a genuine BUG in the latest version? Any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Also can you tell me how to modify the title bar text/icon/etc as well as where to find the icon or portable network graphic (png) file for the main-window.ico or direct me to appropriate knowledge base articles for modifying both.

    My localstore.rdf file was fine. The problem was caused by two plug-ins that Mozilla shows as being compatible with Firefox 23, when in fact they both cause undesired side effects.
    Maybe the employees of Mozilla should actually test plug-ins before they allow them to be available for download or worse yet, recommend them.
    And if any of the in-house developers had a clue they would stop removing old lines of code from Mozilla products so that new versions of Firefox would still be compatible with older plug-ins and extensions people would still like to use.
    I had to remove recommended extensions and copy code from older versions of FF and NS and modify settings in about:config to allow older extensions to work to correct the problems and get Firefox to work the way I need it to. All in all I have over forty hours invested in modding FF at this point just to have it function the way it used to.
    Unfortunately, since I still can't get buttons designed to open .URL links from the toolbar to work as they did in the past I have a feeling I'll be returning to older code sources to find more answers.
    Lucky for me that I have every browser going back to NCSA Mosaic available to me, so every bit of code from the present till back before Mozilla existed is include in my knowledge base. It's a shame Mozilla doesn't keep such a reference available for it's users or apparently it's in house developers and staff.
    Maybe I'll even re-enable the splash screen for Firefox since the only available plug-in for that doesn't appear to work with Version 23 either, even though once again the compatibility adviser says it does
    It's truly sad that the result of Marc Andreessen's and James Clark's work and Netscape in general became the spawning Mozilla. What used to be a great browser and an acceptable replacement for Netscape, has become a joke. So much for all the hard work and effort made by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as well.
    I guess that's what one should expect from the developers that are a part of generations X, Y, and Me. The attitudes associated with those generations show in the lack of thought, consideration, and ingenuity that have been a part the last several versions of FF, not to mention, the copying of features from Chrome.
    When the only original idea to come out of Mozilla of late is to remove or disable features people have used and counted on for decades, the I don't care, I don't know, and me, me, me attitudes of so many from the aforementioned generations is truly evident in the last twenty incarnations of Firefox. Not to mention the attitudes and unhelpful nature of the responses users encounter when asking for help.

  • My pavilion dv7 doesn't start up

    My pavilion dv7 Notebook PC doesn't start up. I removed battery and power and I reset hard. I started it up. Thats happened many times. Each time i shut it off I need to reset hard to start it up again. What is the problem and what is the solution for it?
    Is out of warranty. Is there any HP repair center I can apply for repair?

    Hello @danaos947 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're having issues starting up your dv7 notebook and have to do a hard reset to boot each time.
    If you're only looking for service you can contact the HP Phone Support line. You can schedule a repair over the phone. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
    Can you tell me if you have the same issue when only using the AC adapter and no battery? 
    I would also suggest a startup repair. You can do this in the HP Recovery Manager by tapping F11 while the notebook boots up.
    You can also try a system restore to before the issue started while in the Recovery manager if the repair does not work.
    When the notebook doesn't boot are there any LED lights or sounds (Fan, HDD, etc...)? If not, it's power related and could be the battery motherboard or adapter depending on the source you're using. If there are sounds and appears to boot it might be the GPU or display. Try an external monitor in this case to rule out the display.
    Here are some other documents you can go through: 
    Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
    Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
    Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) or Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8).

  • HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx

    HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx i have a HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx it will not start all the dash board lights light up no. & caps lock blink no certain pattern just blink 3 sec. blink, dvd drive makes a sound and 2 beeps can any one help, hp web help did not work

    Well, it's good to know that something does work, since disabling it and enabling it helps. This leads me to believe that there is no hardware issue, which is good.
    I think an uninstall and reinstall of the OS will help things.
    First, you should backup your data. I will provide information on how to do that: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
    Once this is done, it is safe to do the System Recovery. Here is some information on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
