Installing J4680 on Windows 7 Laptop

This one is driving me crazy!!!!
I have a relatively new J4680 connected to my home wireless network.  I currently have 4 computers successfully printing to it:
2 Dell Windows 7 desktops (which are connected via ethernet to the access point), 1 Windows XP laptop (which is connected wirelessly), and 1 Linux desktop (which is connected wirelessly).  All of these computers work perfectly for printing on the J4860 (not as much with scanning, but that's another issue ).
I'm attempting to add the printer to my daughters Laptop (Dell D610, Windows 7, wireless).  It's absolutely a NO-GO!  When I run the driver installation programs (downloaded Windows 7 32 bit from HP support site), they takd a really really long time (like 2 hours) to run and then end with a message that they failed to install--I've followed the release note suggestion to remove the driver and use the desktop icon to add the device.  The same thing happens.  I've tried removing all the HP software and plugging the printer in via USB.  Windows attempts to load the drivers (about 4 of them ), one of which fails and the process terminates.
I'm pretty much at my wits end.  I'm reasonably computer literate.  I've got the printer working with both wireless and wired computers, running 3 different operating systems!.....But no matter what I do I can't get the laptop to work with the J4860.
I would very much like some assistance if possible!!!!
Thanks!

I ran into an issue like yours when I installed Windows 7. I came across a site that says the Windows 7 has a driver that will work, limited, with the printer.  In trying it I had several failures but did get it to work.  I had to delete any trace of the printer I had on file.  I started Windows7 let it boot up, then went to the control panel and told it to add a printer. It found the 4680. I selected it and hit next and it did the rest.  It appears to work just fine, but the controls are different then the normal HP solution.

  • ITunes will not install on my Windows 8 laptop

    I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 on it.  I have tried installing iTunes a bunch of times (with different browers) and have also tried to follow the instructions that Apple usually posts in response to these complaints...but no luck.  It looks like it starts to install and then it stops and gives me an error that it cannot complete the installation.  I have no idea what is going on and I am getting very frustrated.  Please help!

  • Problem installing CS5 on Windows 7 laptop

    I have CS5 on my Windows 7 desktop. Now I want to install CS5 on my Windows 7 laptop. Since it's an upgrade, it won't install. I have a CS4 upgrade, and a full version of CS3. Do I need to install the full CS3 version first, then the CS4 upgrade, and then the CS5 upgrade?

    You can directly install the CS5 upgarde , no need to have the CS4 and CS3, all you need is serial Number of the CS4 to install the upgrade.

  • Trouble installing itunes onto Windows 8 laptop

    Hi, I'm having issues installing itunes onto my windows 8 laptop. It downloaded fine, eventually after I found the right folder! But when I go to open the setup file it doesn't do anything. I looked in the task manager and saw the itunes installer was actually there but still not doing anything?? I've tryed running it as an administrator, deleting it all and starting again etc. Running out of ideas as I'm at the limit of my knowledge, any help would be great.

    Hmmmm.
    Any better luck if you try a manual uninstall of the GEAR drivers prior to the iTunes install?
    For a link to instructions, see solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    (Fingers crossed they've got Windows 8 instructions up now.)

  • HT201413 I Installed iTunes on Windows XP laptop, connected my iPad 3.  When opening iTunes I only get the list LIBRARY STORE and PLAYLIST.  But I can not see a tab "devices"  where mu iPad appears??

    HI, I need help to transfer a vidoe from my laptop Windows XP to iPad3.  Installed iTunes.  Opened iTunes, Connected PC and iPad.  iTunes does not show iPad under a "Devices" category ? Why?? How do I transfer the vidoe.  PC does show pictures that are on the iPad when I open the iPad files.

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 12 to begin installing on my Windows 7 laptop - got software through Wacom?

    Hey guys, bear with me here because I am the opposite of tech-savvy and I'm getting really frustrated. I can't find answers anywhere and nobody in my family has been able to help.
    I recently bought an IntuosPro drawing tablet from Wacom - it came with the option to download a few different programs, including Photoshop Elements 12. I downloaded it through Chrome onto my (brand new) laptop, which has Windows 7 as the operating system. When it was done downloading, I got a zip file. (I'm literally going to list just about everything in the stupid thing) I opened it, and there were two files inside - "PhotoshopElements_12_All.7z" and "PhotoshopElements_12_All.exe". Double-clicking the second one gives me a pop-up saying "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Please download all parts." (Which made me download the whole thing again, only to get the same response and waste my second download - you can only download it twice off of Wacom.)
    Opening the other file gives me two more folders - "PSE 12" and "ReadMe". Nothing in the ReadMe folder works. In the other folder there are 3 folders at the top ("ElementsOrganizer" "ElementsSTIInstaller" and "SupportFiles") then Data.cab files numbered 1-19, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.msi" (which takes me to the installation wizard thing but tells me there's an error "Please install/uninstall the product using Setup.exe in the root folder" (I don't know which one is the root folder but none of the .exe's I've found have worked) - all the .msi things do this.) then "ols_config.xml", "ols_config_education.xml", "Setup.ini", "lang.dat" a bunch of .mst files, and at the bottom, "Setup.exe"
    When I click on Setup.exe, I see a flash of a little loading screen window, then it jumps to the "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to this computer?" or whatever pop up, I click yes, nothing happens. Pretty sure that's the place where something is supposed to happen, because the first response I've gotten from everyone in my family is to "click on the .exe file"
    Am I missing stuff? Am I just really stupid and need to do *fill in the blank*? Is it a problem with Wacom? My computer?
    Please just tell me how to make it work.
    Thank you in advance.

    How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

  • Problem installing Premeir on Windows 8 laptop

    I run the setup program and it all starts just fine. I select the language (English) and then it gives me the "Preparing to install" progress bar. Then the installer exits and puts a text window on the screen. The window is called "Windows Installer" and the text inside is about how to use Windows Installer V 5.0.9200.16384. It looks like the command line syntax help screen for Windows Installer.
    The laptop came with Norton Internet Security and I have turned everything off that I can find shy of uninstalling it. I told it not to scan any files on the C drive.
    I have contacted Adobe Chat and they don't know what to do.
    Help!

    Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I double clicked on the setup program.  I spent 90 min on the phone this morning with Adobe support. We found that the msiexec intaller program was giving errors so we created a new admin account user and tried the install again.This time we made it all the way to installing the shared components when we received an error that it failed to install the shared components and thatwe should reboot and try again. We did that and got the same error.
    I have a Samsung touchscreen laptop purchased 5 days ago. The support agent suggested that the problem was with the OS and that I should contact Microsoft for more help.  We are considering returning the laptop.

  • Adobe Reader  can not be installed on my Window 7 laptop.  An error code is 150210.

    I have downloaded Adobe Reader so many times on my Window7 laptop.  However,  an error code appear as 150210.  If I change a browser to be Google Chrome then the error message was: A more function product is detected on this PC, we shall terminate this installation.  I checked my Control Panel and went through all the software on my PC,  there was no Adobe Reader on my PC.  What do I do to get Adobe Reader installed on my PC?

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • General failures after installing on new windows 7 laptop.

    I have installed FF12 and earlier versions on my new Win7 laptop and have encountered some problems.
    1. I type a url into the address line, hit enter and nothing happens. I type the address, click the arrow and nothing happens.
    I can usually use the search box for a usable link to my target. Links on websites also work. This problem does not happen with Chrome or IE, or any other app.
    This is very annoying, and I like my FireFox.
    2. My password manager has disappeared. I still have the password list, but the manager is no longer found in the tools menu. Passwords are not filling in at sites where they were saved.
    Please help!

  • TS3772 is there a fee to install QuickTime on Windows 8 laptop?

    update

    Yes, but you'll probably have to partition your HDD. I have Sol7 and Win2000 installed on a 20Gb HDD on a notebook. I can't remember which I installed first, but I used my Windows startup disk to boot from the A: drive and then fdisk to create the partitions. In the end I have my Solaris partition set as the active partition as that has the boot loader to allow me to select what I want to boot into, Sol7 or W2K.
    I don't think you can get away without partitioning.
    Good luck
