I change to windows 8.1 and it does not recognize my hp photosmart 7350 printer. HP can I fix this??

Dear Everybody: How can I conect my lovely Hp Photosmart 7350 Printer to my new windows 8.1 PC.? Bot are not compatible because my printer is too old. Any hint??? Thank you. Roberto

Hey @rob1836,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with installing your HP Photosmart 7350 Printer on your new Windows 8.1 computer. Because this printer did not have Windows 7 drivers either I am going to provide you the generic troubleshooting that worked for that Operating System in hopes that it will also work in Windows 8.
Step 1: Install the driver:
Make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the product. If the USB cable is connected to the product, disconnect it.
Open your Start Screen either by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your Desktop or by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
Click on Devices and Printer to open it
In the Devices and Printers folder click Add a printer. The Add Printer window opens
Click Add a local printer
Click Use an existing port.
Click the Use an existing port drop-down list, select LPT1: (Printer Port), and then click Next.
Under Manufacturer in the Install the printer driver window, click HP.
Under Printers, select the Deskjet 5550
Note: The alternate HP driver for your product might not be currently installed on your computer, but it is available through Windows Update. Click the Windows Update button to select additional print drivers. Select the alternate driver for your product, and then click Next. You must connect to the Internet before using Windows Update.
In the Printer name text box, type HP Photosmart 7350 then click Next. The print driver starts the installation process.
When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully
In the message window, click Finished.
Connect the USB cable to the product, and connect the USB cable to the computer. A Device driver software was not successfully installed window opens.
Click Close () to close the window
In the Devices and Printers window, right-click the name of the product and then click Printer Properties. The Printer Properties window opens.
Click the Ports tab.
Click the drop down menu, and then change the port from LPT1 to USB and click OK.
Close the Devices and Printers window
Try to print!
Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again. 

  • I just upgraded to itunes 64 bit 12.1.1.4 on Windows 8.1 and it does not recognize my devices

    ITunes was working fine but it kept prompting me to upgrade which I did. After the upgrade it took a very long time to identify my iPod classic, but it finally did and I was able to download one song I had purchased. I have 3 iPods. I then put in my second iPod and iTunes could not find it. I researched the options from Jason via his very good link but the suggestions do not work. Windows sees the iPod (all of them just fine) the cables are good, (I used them on another computer running iTunes under windows XP and they recognize the ipods with no problem. The Apple Mobile  Device shows up fine under USB controller and the ipods show up under Portable devices. After much back and forth, restarting, powering off both iPod and PC, iTunes still will not recognize the old ipod, but once - it said -" It did recognize that an ipod was connected but it could not verify the identity". It asked me to dis-connect, power off and try again and if the problem persist to call tech support. I discontented and powered off and tried again and it will not see any ipod. In all of this Windows 8.1 sees the ipod just fine. I decided to uninstall the new update and go back to the old one. I uninstalled iTunes and attempted to install my original ITunes which is itunes64bit.exe dated 1/25/2015, but now the installer will not work - it goes to a screen that says "ITunes Installer Completed - Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation run the installer again". I have tried 4 times each time with the same message and no indication o f the error. I would like to call tech support but find it hard to pay $29 to call them about an upgrade Apple basically forced me to take that has created this problem. I am not sure what my next step should be - I have 3 ipod and 2 ipad, and right now no working iTunes. It used to work, even up to a few a hours ago but once I took that upgrade from ****, it has not worked since.

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

    should I do a full reset of TM (per the instructions at the link below) prior to setting up the TC?
    I'd start by just selecting the new destination. Do the "full reset" if you have trouble with that.
    do I need to set up the network portion first and then turn on TM?
    That might make things easier.
    even though my mini was previously only connected wirelessly to the old router, I plan to connect via Ethernet to the TC (for one thing, to make the initial backup run faster). Do I just turn AirPort settings off on the mini, or does that need to be on in order to setup the TC?
    To assure that your first backup is over Ethernet I'd turn off AirPort until it's done. Check the order in the Network panel of System Preferences. I'd move the Ethernet connection item to the top of the list.
    In other words, does the initial setup of the TC from my mini happen wirelessly or over Ethernet?
    Either way should work fine.
    I currently have a networked printer conneceted to my old router, which I will connect via Ethernet to the TC. Can I assume that, once I have set up all of my family's PCs/Macs/iDevices on the newly-established TC network, that I will have to re-establish connection to the printer as well?
    Not necessarily. I'd only do that if the printer isn't available after the switchover.
    I would like to reformat the second external drive (the one previously being used for TM backups) for possible reuse with another computer. Can I simply reconnect this to my mini and reformat?
    That's what I'd do.
    is TM going to see it and try to back it up?
    If you've already reconfigured Time Machine to use the Time Capsule drive, there shouldn't be a problem.

  • HT203176 My start up disk (10.6.8 ver) has errors and I do not have the OSX install disk. How can I fix this and repair the disk?

    Start up disk needs repaired. Repair Disk button is not available in disk utility and I do not have the OS install disk as recommended to fix. Any suggestions?

    You have two choices, either get a replacement install DVD for your Mac ( best choice) or make another disk a system disk.
    Option 1 call Apple and request a replacement install DVD for you Mac. They will charge you a nominal fee for shipping and handling. You really should have that because it is considered part of your Mac.
    Option 2 This one depends on exactly what kind of errors you have on the disk.
         If the data is recoverable, you can clone to the other drive.
         If not, then you are in trouble and need the install DVD to install an operating system.

  • I have an Mac OS x 10.4.11 and my Mac always recognizes my iPhone as a Camera, how can i fix this?, I have an Mac OS x 10.4.11 and my Mac always recognizes my iPhone as a Camera, how can i fix this?

    help

    Your computer will always recognise you iPhone somehow.
    regarding iTunes you can plugin the iPhone, select it on the left end side of iTunes and go into the summary pan and you have the option to open or not automatically iTunes.
    Regarding being recognised as a camera, you have an app called image capture, open it and on the bottom left conner you have the option to open iPhoto, image capture or none.
    Hope that helps.
    Now if you cannot sync with iTunes that's another issue.

    i used this feature before and a message appeared in tool bar that privacy was on, this no longer happens i have tried the tools / options / privacy setting with no luck. any fixes available?

    This feature has likely been provided by an extension that is disabled or no longer installed, possibly because you have reset Firefox.

  • HT204053 I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials.  When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud.  Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

  • I forgot my password and my birthday and email does not recognize. please help me, it happen when I buy my new iphone5s and change the Apple ID of my old iPhone 4.

    i have a new iPhone 5s, it does not recognize my password, when I try to restore it my birthday and email does not recognize, it only happen when I change my old iPhone 4 and change the Apple ID of it. please help me, all my phone now does not recognize my password.

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
