HP solution centre software is no longer available (Deskjet 1050A, Windows 7)

I installed the drivers and software when I received the printer (HP Deskjet 1050A All In One) over a year ago it has always worked OK. Used it for the last time yesterday. Now, when I click on the same desktop icon or run it from my programs menu I get a basic Windows screen ( I am in Windows 7) where the only options I get are 'See Whats Printing', 'Printer Preferences' and 'Customise Your Printer'. This has replaced the previous software where I could access options such as 'Printer Actions', 'Maintenance tasks', 'Align Ink Cartridges', 'Check Ink Levels' and 'Align Print Heads'. I don't know what has caused this to change, but I now have no means of running these options. I uninstalled the software then reinstalled from the original disk, but no change.
Anyone think they might know what is going on?
Any help much appreciated.

Hi there Rawmarsh_Blade, welcome to the forums
I saw your post about all of the printer software options not being available to you any longer. I would suggest running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows to install the full feature driver again. It seems like you might have the basic driver installed.
I hope that works for you!
Have a great weekend

  • Lenovo Solution Centre - Software updates: How to recognize which software to update?

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo Solution Centre v2.4.002. When I am inside "Home" section, it indicates with "!" symbol above "Updates" picture that I have some software unupdated.
    So I go into "System" section where I see number 1 above "Software updates".
    When I click on "Software updates" there is only this information: "Go to Lenovo's Website to update the Lenovo software on your system".  But I do not know WHICH software I have to update. Lenovo Solution Centre does not told it to me.
    Please, how to recognize WHICH program/driver is out of date and therefore LSC ask me to update it.
    Thanks.
    Mirek
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @mirek...
    It's a manual process. You'll need to open up Device Manager on your machine, double-click specific devices (such as Audio), switch to the Driver tab, and there you will see what version is installed. Then you can look at what is available in the driver matrix and decide if you want to update a particular driver.
    The general wisdom is that it may not be necessary to update a driver unless your having a specific problem, or the driver adds some new desired functionality. This is especially true for BIOS updates.

  • Hp Solution Centre software will not install on windows 8.1

    I have just replaced my old HP Laptop with a new  HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC and have managed to install my Hp Photosmart C4780 printer but am unable to get the software for the Hp Solutions to install. I have downloaded the file from the Hp site and it states it should work on Windows 8.1 but it extracts the files and then does nothing . I have run print and scan doctor about 10 times now but after many frustrated hours no joy. Worked perfectly on Windows 7 premium but doesnt want to know with WIndows 8.1

    Hi,
    Carefully follow the steps below and check if that may resolve the issue:
    1. Open Mcafee software, from the Virus and Spyware Protection section click on Schedule and run scans.
    Click on Real time scanning and then on Turn Off.
    select Never and confirm by clicking the Turn Off button.
    2. Open the run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type %windir% and click on OK.
    3. Type hpoins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpoins1.old)
    4. Type hpwins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpwins1.old)
    5. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
    6. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
    7. Reboot your PC
    8. Run the installation file and check for any difference.
    9. Once you are done, be sure to open McAfee and re-activate Real Time Scanning.

  • Software - Canvas no longer available for the Mac

    I am looking for someone's experience - I use Canvas - a remarkable little program for drawing, word processing and almost everything including photo manipulation - ACD Systems have stopped developing and updating the program for Mac, which is a great shame (and very short sighted on ACD's part in my view) - does anyone who knows the program know of a replacement which IS being updated for the Mac? I'd really like to find a developer who is in the same space as Canvas

    Hi,
    I too am a long-time user of Canvas (3.5) and have been looking for alternatives. The problem I am finding is that Canvas has so many different tools, there is no one application that has all of the versatility of Canvas.
    I feel I need to change apps soon because I am wary that the latest OS X version of Canvas won't work much longer in OS X (as updates continue), and I need to convert my Canvas docs to something another app can read (maybe PDF?).
    I recently found an article that looks at several OS X native drawing applications, some of which I was not aware of. Perhaps one of these applications might suit as a replacement. I'm checking some of these out to see if they will suit as substitutes for the purposes I employ Canvas (mostly drawing diagrams, maps and figures).

  • Error Message when attempting to install Solution Centre for HP OfficeJet J5780

    Hi,
    Each time I try and install the HP Solutions Centre software for my Office Jet J5780 on my laptop (Microsoft Windows Starter 7 32Bit) I am confronted with the following error message:
    "Micorsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libary
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Users\.....
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusal way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information"
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

    Hello Sophia10,
    Welcome to the Forums!
    I noticed your post about the Runtime Error you are getting when you try to install your printer. I have a few suggestions to hopefully get it installed and working for you.
    First of all, I would suggest performing a clean boot:
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    Next, try reinstalling the printer:
    HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver Download
    If the installation still does not work, try this:
    Running Microsoft's Fix it tool, which will fix corrupted registry keys, etc:
    Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled
    Try to reinstall the printer again.
    Please let me know how this goes! Good luck

    How I can re-installl the software if not longer available from Appcatalog?

  • Trojan.spatet - Deskjet F2280 - HP Solution Centre

    Hello. This is my very first post here so I hope it's in the correct place!
    I recently had my new-look HP Solution Centre updated. This morning I scanned a document and had problems when I tried to print it - a lengthy delay. In the end, I had to delete the print request.
    I ran Malwarebytes just now and it found two trojans. Under the heading 'Vendor' appeared Trojan.Spatet and two entries, one a file -   (C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\help\player\FlashPla.exe) and the other a corresponding Registry Value.
    Is it just a co-incidence that the trojan appeared just after the Solution Centre Update? Or is this a false positive viz the trojan is in fact part of the HP Solution Centre software?

    and now another problem! When I powered up just now, there was a window "SolutionCenter".
    Its message was "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alernate path to a folder containing the installation package 'SolutionCenter.msi' in the box below."
    The box was titled "Use source" and it it were the wordsCALS~1\Temp\7zS0463\setup\SolutionCenter".
    Clicking OK took me back to the first window. Clicking Cancel, brought up another Message Box that said "(Exclamation mark in yellow triangle) An installation package for the product SolutionCenter cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SolutionCenter.msi."
    Clicking OK brought up a message "Please wait while Windows configures SolutionCenter - gathering required information." After a few minutes of this repeating itself, I hit Cancel. After several hits on Cancel, the blasted message went away.
    Can anyone from HP help me please?

  • Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi.  How do I get iTunes to work again?

    Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message:  A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Personal hotspot no longer available - after software upgrade to latest software

    Hi All,
    Hardware: 3GS Iphone
    Software:  Latest Iphone drivers
    I had been experiencing problems with not being able to restore my iphone with existing software.  I finally upgraded the software for a restore and after 3 attempts faile, on the fourth time it appeared to completed the process. 
    Now with the upgrade there was additional features installed, such as Icloud etc, but my main concern was that I am no longer able to access personal hot-spot!
    It is actually no longer available in settings.  Can you plesae confirm whether this has this been removed on new software?
    Is there another option apart from having install my old software back to use this function which I rely on daily?
    Please note that I do not have a previous backup on my old version to restore to previous version.
    Appreciate any solutions anyone may offer!
    Thanks!

    It has not been removed. Who is your carrier? The carrier must support it and you must subscribe to a data plan that includes tethering. The only other way to get it to appear is on a jailbroken phone.

  • Additional software Solution Centre, IRIS etc

    I am experiencing considerable difficulty installing any of the software suppllied with the C7280 driver.
    The driver seems to install OK and works but ....
    Installation runs until the the 'configuring programs' actions (last item) which goes on for a long time then fails.
    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling numerous times. I have tried uninstalling the individual software items and then running the driver installer and installing the software individually. All say installed OK but IRIS cannot be found, solution centre tells me 'device installation is not complete'.
    I have run Print and Scan doctor that tells me no problem with the 'Printer' but the Scanner reports A problem was found with the device registration.
    I needed to reinstall the printer etc as some how the printer was reporting it was connected and failed to print but the problem was that the printer was using a different IP address X.X.X.10 and the computer thought it was on X.X.X.7 .  This problem has been resolved.
    Also when running one of the HP diagnostic programmes I was also asked to select the printer and it listed 3 Versions of the printer. I suspected that this could be the problem but I am unable the replicate this and only one printer is shown in Control Panel.
    I have a C7280 printer
    Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
    Wi-Fi connected.
    Any help would be appreciated .

    Hi alanw8888, having 3 versions if the printer could certainly be causing a conflict.Sounds like we need a fresh start. I suspect, removing the driver from printer server properties and doing a complete uninstall will resolve this issue. use the instructions below to perform these tasks.
    1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder delete the printer < Click here for instructions.
    2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.  (Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.)
    3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
    4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
    5. Choose 'Remove driver only"
    6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
    If you get an 'In use'  error try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
    After the driver is removed from the server properties we can proceed with uninstalling and reinstalling  the software.
    Hold down the Windows Logo key (  ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box,  type %temp%
    Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
    Open folder Util
    Open folder CCC
    If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open  box, type msiexec /unreg, and then click OK.
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open  box, type msiexec /regserver, and then click OK
    Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Now we can restart the computer and Download and install the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.
