HP Smart Web Printing installed but no symbol in browser

I just downloaded HP Smart Web Printing and it apparently installed itself (if I try installing it again I am told that it is already installed). When I try to use it I cannot find any appropriate symbol anywhere on the browser.
QUESTION: Is there some other way to start HP Smart Web Printing if the symbol does not appear after installation (hot key, menu option, list of programs)?

OK, I found out where the mysterious icon is hidden, thanks to a response given to Bonnie on January 19th 2010.
In my case (IE8 German), I found that it is necessary to click the >> button at the end of the tool bar and that reveals additional icons, one of which is labeled "HP Smart Web Printing":

I Clicked on Show or Hide HP Smart Web Printing button but nothing happened. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling... and i am already in a 32 bit browser on an 84 bit operating machine with adobe flash player. Please send me some advice for problem shooting... Thank you all!

Hey HP ... Does anyone from HP monitor these posts and provide answers, as one might expect? Is anyone listening? Is anyone there? Does anyone CARE?

I seemed to have fixed my issue, you might want to try this.
In Internet Explorer select Tools select Manage Add-ons select Enable or Disable Add-ons and besides enabling Show or HIde HP Smart Web Printing, enable HP Smart BHO Class as selecting this last Add-on cured the problem and the button converted to a cross bar

Message: smart web printing is not compatable with my browser

I have latest version[4.6] of smart web however when i try to use i get a message saying MY browser is not compatable...
I am using internet explorer 6

I understand that the message gives that Firefox does not support the printer giving issues as well as Robo Form is not filling in forms for Firefox.
Please consider the troubleshooting steps suggested:
*[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
As for the addon/extension I can recommend trying Safe Mode to see if there is an issue with one of the add ons, or disable each of the extensions to troubleshoot what might be interacting with this feature.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.23. I get the message that HP Smart Web Printing is not compatible.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.23 under Windows 7 64 bit. I want to use the HP Smart Web Printing program but under the add-ons I get the message that it is not compatible with this version. What ver. should I be running for compatibility? I saw at one time the icon on the toolbar but it went away after the next reboot. Help.

Windows installer trying to install smart web printing

Hi,
Everytime I click on my computer to open a folder or on the start button, windows installer tries to install smart web printing and I get an error message everytime. I have to manually close the window everytime.
I tried to remove smart web printing in the control panel but it didn't work. I also tried to install the new version of Smart web printing and unstall it but it didn't work.
How can I solve this issue? I want to stop windows installer to try to install smart web printing everytime I open a folder.
I have Windows 7.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Finally I've figured out a way to solve this. I typed msconfig in "run", and unchecked all the HP, Smartweb printing and windows installer items in the services and startup tabs. I don't have the problem anymore.
But thank you very much for your help!

Smart Web Printing won't install!!!

Was trying to install smart web printing at my workplace and it downloaded onto the hard drive, but then when I tried to install it I got the error message "hpzrein01.exe could not be found"
Any suggestions or anyone have similar problems?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
-Rubbey

Be grateful it won't. It only causes problems.

I deleted the HP Smart Web Printing (but kept the link) and now I don't know how to get it back.

I had 23 Microsoft updates and 12 did not update. I am 73 and not very computer literate. I finally (accidentally) discovered that, at least part of the problem, was that I must have installed Explorer 9. It told me to update to a new driver/software. I was trying to do it step-by-step and that's when I deleted the Smart Web Printing. On the second step of trying to fix it, it would not update because it says it doesn't support 64 bit (which I have). It only supposed 32 bit. HELP. I can't figure out how to get my smart web printing back. Also, I don't know how to get my system back to a lower Explorer since I apparently have 9.

Hello BarbG,
HP no longer offers the Smart Web Print software available for download since the change to Smart Print. Rather than trying to get around this maybe we can look at at least resolving the issues you are having.
For one the Smart Print software can be found here
HP Smart Web Printing Software Replaced by HP Smart Print
Available on the link are step by step instructions on installation and setup of Smart Print, including videos on how to use Smart Print so you can become accustomed to using it.
Now before we get into that what you will want to do is verify that you are truely running IE9 64 bit versus the 32 bit. HP Smart Print only supports 32 bit so we want to make sure we are using that.
To check the version of IE you are running follow these steps.
1. Launch Internet Explorer
2. Click on Help
3. Select About Internet Explorer
4. If the version of Internet Explorer has 64 bit next to it then you are running the 64 bit version. If it doesn't say then you are running the 32 bit version and are good!
If you are running the 64 bit version we next need to see if you already have the 32 bit version on your computer.
1.Click on Start
2. Select All programs
3. Look for Internet Explorer (64-bit)
Just below that entry should be another entry called "Internet Explorer" This version of Internet Explorer should be the 32 bit version and you can verify this by repeating the before mentioned steps.
Once you verify that you are running the 32 bit version of IE then you can proceed with installing the Smart Print software.
Also note a few other additional places to check and run IE 32 bit are below:
Go to start->all program->accessories, IE 32 bit version should be located here
You can also find the IE 32 bit version in this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe."

Smart Web Printing & blank print preview window but prints anyway

I can successfully print using Smart Web Printing on my W7 laptop. My Deskjet F380 is set up to always display a print preview before printing but when I use Smart Web Printing the print preview is always blank but it still prints correctly. I have no problems with the print preview from IE8. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

this problem has now resolved itself - I think since the latest HP update.

HP Smart Web Printing is NOT WORKING....UGH!

When I click the select button nothing happens. Everything freezes. IE stops responding, I can't close, open, right click, left click.....nothing. I tried several times and each time I had to end the task in Task Manager. I want to uninstalling then reinstall it, but I do not know where to find that option so I can do it. Am I running the wrong version for my OS? Vista Basic Home Premium is my OS and I am trying to run version 4.60 Smart Web Printing. Can someone please help me too?
Thank you,
Tam

HP Smart Web Printing should work with vista and IE 6, 7, or 8.
To uninstall a program go to the control panel and look for a program maintenence option. Select it and a list of installed programs will appear. Select the one you want to uninstall and go for it. Before trying to install SWP again, check to make sure you have the latest version.

HP Smart Web Printing interfering with Internet Explorer

Hello - I have a new dv7-4183cl notebook and I just added a new Photosmart C310 wireless printer. When I added the printer, I installed all of the programs included on the installation disc. Since then, I'm having a very annoying problem with the mouse pointer changing from the typical arrow to the precision select crosshair within the active window of Internet Explorer (not on the address bar, toolbars, bottom taskbar). The effect seems entirely random, but once the pointer changes to the crosshair, it does not change back and I am unable to select anything on the page with left clicks. I have to close the page and open another. If I have multiple tabs, some tabs will be fine and some will not. I also have Safari installed and the problem isn't there so it seems linked just to IE.
When the crosshair is on the screen, I can hilight a rectangular section and a small box pops up saying "clip.." and "print.." So, just to see what happens, I selected clip and it brought up a pane on the left side of the screen for HP Smart Web Printing. I hadn't used this, but it seems to be the culprit because it is randomly turning itself on (so to speak). I've looked through the preferences, but can't find a way to turn it off.
Has anyone had such an issue? Should I try to uninstall teh Smart Web Printing? Is there an update from HP? It is an annoyance, but enough of one that I would return the associated printer and choose another brand if there were no resolution possible. Thank you and happy New Year to all.

Yes, I had the same problem and I found out it is due to the HP software HP Smart Web Printing. If you uninstall that program the crosshair pointer will not show up anymore.

Hp smart web printing

hi there,my hp deskjet d1660 works ok,but i have a problem.when i find a particular paragraph on a web page i click on select,Then drag the mouse to the picture,or paragraph.Then click clip,or print.The print box comes up,and i click print.The printer just puts out a blank paper.It worked fine the first 3,or4 times then every time i try to print a paragraph by going through the proper steps as obove the same result.The printer does not copy what i am trying to print.So I have to keep printing out the full amount of pages to print what i want.THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE INK IS VERY EXSPENSIVE!!!! Why does my printer work the old way,but KEEPS GIVING ME A BLANK PAPER WHEN I USE THE "HP SMART WEB PRINTING??"Like I said my printer does work properly,but it won,t print when I click select,and drag my mouse then click "clip",and hit print.It just spits me out a blank paper.What can i do to fix this???Sincerely,Weatherwizard

When you say the screen always appears, are you wanting the HP Smart Print to minimize so that you can't see it, do you want it only to appear on one tab and not all of them, or are you wanting to get rid of HP Smart Print all together?
I'll do my best to help you but I do not have Internet Explorer 8. Also, what kind of computer are you using (ex. Windows 7, Windows XP, etc)? I hope I can help but I can not install IE8 right now since I am working with Smart Print and how it does not work at all on IE10. I'm more than happy to help if I can.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

I have installed Windows Vista 64-bit on a new computer (HP of course) and want to be able to use HP's "Smart Web Printing" software. I have used it quite a bit on a Windows XP machine and love it. Looking at the download page, it appears that the Smart Web Printing software is not compatible with Vista 64-bit. Is this correct? Will a new version be coming out that will be compatible?
Have you tried installing it anyways and see what happens?

HP Smart Web Printing 4.6 Error Message

I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, and IE9. I have downloaded and installed HP Smart Web Printing, Version 4.6, but it will not work. The popup error message I get reads: "HP Smart Web Printing must be updated to run on this browser. Would you like to check http://www.hp.com/go/swp/4_6_0_0/IE9/eng for a newer version? When I click on Yes, the webpage displays a message that the webpage cannot be found: "Sorry, we can't find that page."
Anybody know how to fix whatever is causing V4.6 not to run?

HP Smart Web Printing has been replaced with HP Smart Printing. See the page here.

HP Smart Web Printing and IE8

Hi, I am trying to help some friends who have recently bought a new HP desktop and HP printer.
We have set up both and can print from programs installed, thats no problem. When we try to print a page from IE8 nothing at all happens. We have the HP Smart Web Printing software installed, but there is no icon on the tool bar, and it does not seem to be off the side of the screen. We have tried downloading and installing the Smart Web printing software again, but still it fails to work.
We have been on the internet looking for solutions including making sure that the box it ticked in IE8 which allows 3rd part add ons. And also looked in add on manager, but the Smart web add on does not appear on the list. In fact there are no add ons appearing?
I would be very grateful for any assistance.
Cheers

In IE8 on the lowest toolbar, to the right hand side is a "tools" pull down. Click on it, then select "Explorer Bars", you should see one called "HP Smart Web Printing". If you do and it does not have a check by it, simply click on that option. An SWP toolbar should appear. If you do not have thswp line I would suspect an installation problem.
