Installing HP Deskjet 3055A on Windows 8

Am trying to install new Deskjet 3055A onto a new Pavilion G6 operating Widows 8. Get message the operating system is not sufficient. Please upgrade.
As the laptop is less than a month old and printer less than a week old I would have thought both new enough.
Please advise
Oldnev

How do I install HP Deskjet 5700 on Windows 7?

When trying to install I got an error message saying my computer's Operating System is not supported.

Hi Redbone7.
I understand you're looking for instructions on how to install your Deskjet printer now that you have a new hard drive. I'd be happy to help you with this!
In order to find you the right drivers though, I do need to know which model of Deskjet you have and if you're using Windows or Mac. Once I know those two pieces of information I will be able to post back with either a link to the drivers or a link on how best to install your printer.
I look forward to hearing back from you, have a great day!!

Unable to install printer Deskjet 6122 on windows 7 (64bit)

I bought a new HP Pavilion Model HPE h8-1237c running Windows 7 Professional (64bit). I’m not having any luck at trying to install my old HP Deskjet 6122 printer. Drivers on disk and newer downloaded ones are not compatible with the 64 bit OS. HP suggests installing drivers for Deskjet 990c as alternative. That didn't work either. This new computer only has USB ports and not the old parallel one like my old Pentium 4 Windows XP computer. The printer does have a USB hookup, but windows doesn't install the printer as plug and play since there are no drivers available. I've tried installing it running Windows Virtual PC in XP Mode. The printer install software runs fine in the virtual mode until it gets to the "print test page." At that point the install fails to find any printer at which time it completely reverses the install. Pffft ! !
Help please! I've been going crazy for two days to solve this problem. I haven't even begun to attempt installing my trusty old HP Scanjet 5530 flatbed scanner. I suspect it will be a similar nightmare as is this current printer dilemma.
Am I destine to have to buy new hardware that’s compatible with windows 7 (64bit)?
This question was solved.

The Deskjet 6122 driver should work fine on Windows 7 using the DEskjet 990c driver, but many folks (myself included) have been having problems getting the Deskjet 990 driver to download from Windows Update.
You have probably already done the steps here, but if not start with that. If the HP Deskjet 990 does not show up after clicking on Windows Update as shown in step 8 and you get a message that "Windows Update was unable to find a list of devices, try again later" then see the solution here. If the problem still exists then you can download the driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog site, but this is not very easy to use. If you need to use the catalog site post back here and I will write up some directions.

Trouble installing HP Deskjet 722c on Windows 7 64-bit on a network

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 64-bit system and am trying to connect to an HP Deskjet 722c through a home network. My other Windows 7 PCs can connect and print to this printer (it is shared on the network via an old WinXP box) but when I try to install the printer on my 64-bit machine, it says it is trying to download an update and it fails to do so. Please help!

Installing HP Deskjet 820Cse on Windows 7

My HP DeskJet 820Cse has been a GREAT reliabile printer for many years.   Unfortunately, I cannot get it to run on my Windows 7 computer.
Since my computer doesn't have a serial printer port, I'm using a serial to USB connector/adapter. I'm wondering if this is the problem.
W7 recognizes and installed the printer but when I print a test page, it remains in the queue.    I love this printer and don't want to retire it. Please help !

Hi V1222C,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you have a Deskjet 820Cse that doesn't seem to want to work with your Windows 7 PC. I'm sorry to hear this but I will certainly see what I can do to help
It's entirely possible its the connector/adapter that you're using is the problem, and the only real way to test that would be to try installing the printer on another computer. Do you have another computer you can test it on, or perhaps a friend that will allow you to test on their computer?
If that's not a possibility to determine where the issue is stemming from, I will recommend that you make sure all your Windows Updates are done (as that's where the driver comes from) and try installing the printer again and see what happens.
You can also download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor for some further suggestions to try (hopefully, if there are any to be made).
If it's still not working after that, I may have to suggest that you start looking into a newer printer to replace the old work horse You can contact HP Tech Support and see if they have anything available in a trade in program for you as well!
Hope this helps and that you have a great rest of the week!

How to install Deskjet 3055a, new router but unsupported operating system on Macbook

Hi, Please go easy with me, I really know very little about all this ! We have a Deskjet 3055A printer which has been linked wirelessly to my iPad and a MacBook without a problem until now. We have installed a new router. I am thinking that we have to amend our network in some way ? I have tried to run the HP cd on the MacBook to amend it, but all I get is the message as follows... "Unsupported operating system. The installer is not compatible with the version of the operating system on your computer. It is compatible only with 10.6 and below." The MacBook is running OS X version 10.9.5 Any help greatly appreciated - thank you ! ( Please keep it simple !! ) We 

Welcome to the community @Teekayk
I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac. There is no full driver and software available for the Deskjet 3055A on Mavericks, which basically means you will need to review your other options to scan on your Mac through Apple Updates, which is all included in the guide.

HP Deskjet 930c in Windows 7 x64

Hi, I'm from Brasil. I try install HP Deskjet 930c in Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I don't have sucess. Any help-me ? Sorry my english.

I'm also from Brazil and I'm expecting the same problem in both x386 and x64 versions. But this solution dind't work for me. When i click "windows update", the system seeks about one minute and then pop up a message saying Windows couldn't take a devices list from Windows Update. Try again later. I don't know whatelse I can do.
OK, it is not quite a direct link but try the following: go to the Microsoft catalog update site
(you will need to use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or some other
browser). In the search box select Deskjet 930c then press enter. There will be several choices presented, the 11.4MB file is the 32 bit version and the 11.6MB file is the x64 version. You can click on each title and verify which one is the proper architecture.

How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64

I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor. I want to do two things:
to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop. Having done this, I then want
to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem. It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install. I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed. Access is denied ". Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.
Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly. I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial? Can HP do anything about this?

Activation Lost : Windows 8-64bits and Deskjet 3055a

Hello
I have a hp deskjet 3055a which, until now, was working perfectly fine, never had any problem with it.
I did the installation one year ago.
A few days ago, windows did an automatic update. My system must had change then.
Thing is, now I just can't use my printer. I can't scan.
The message on the printer is: activation is lost. Obviously, I've lost my software CD... Hence this message.
So far, I tried this:
- download here the set up software for my 3055a, for windows 8, 64 bits.
(but it turns out, it's not for 3055a printers, it's impossible to find it).
- I followed the process to do the set up for a wifi connexion and it's not working.
- i connected the two with USb, but nothing is happening on my computer.
So how/ where can I find the real set up software for 3055a? Does it even exist?
Is my printer out of order because i lost the cd and there is no way to find the set up software for 3055a on internet?....
Again, the software for 3050 a printers is not working. I tried several times.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Cant install Deskjet 870cxi in Windows 7

My new PC doesnt have a parallel printer port & the 870cxi doesnt have a USB. To sort this, I purchased a USB to parallel adapter, plugged it in but Windows 7 only then recognises the 870cxi as "USB2.0-Print", in the "Unspecified" list of devices, so it doesnt recognise it as a printer. Trying to install 870cxi drivers in Windows 7 doesnt work, as the 870cxi doesnt appear in the list of HP printers. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks, Simon

Hello Simon,
I seen your post on wanting to install your Deskjet 870cxi on your Windows 7 OS. I have researched this for you and found there is no downloadable driver anymore for this printer, only a USB connection using the in-OS print driver as you mentioned.
I have found a link for you to see this as well.
