Installing Photosmart C5100, C6100, C7100 in Windows 7 RC

While evaluating Windows 7 (I love it), I installed my networked LJ P2015dn and CLJ 2605dn using the drivers that came with Win7. I also installed the PS C6180 the same way and then deleted it. It installed beautifully (as did the Laserjets), but in so doing one gives up the scanning function. This afternoon, I finally got around to attempt an install from the original CD that came with the printer.
It started, checked for updates, and then gave me the dreaded - This is not Vista, please install on a Vista machine - error message. When I got the box to try to install via the recomended settings, which sets up the compatibility mode, it tried to install but that failed as well as running it from CD doesn't seem to work.
I then went to the driver download page, read through that, and downloaded the install file for Vista 64bit. I copied the file from the download folder to my desktop and then started the program. Again, I got the dreaded error message, but this time when I clicked on install via the recommended settings, it did go all the way through and sucessfully installed not only the printer driver, but the scanner driver and Solution Center and Photosmart as well.
For those looking for Win7 RC drivers for their printers, the Vista install disc most likely will not work. However, downloaded the Vista full feature driver from the website most likely will. It will fail on the first attempt, for the Vista drivers seem to have a check in them to make sure no one accidently installs them on XP, but when you then get the compatibility box asking if you want to attempt with recommended settings, it will probably work.
The download I used was on the C6180 driver page, but my Vista disc states it is for the C5100, C6100 and C7100 series. The download package appears to be the same version as on my CD, but as the download package expands into the temp file, apparently the compatibility mode can open all the files, where it fails on the different directories on the CD.
Hopefully, this will help others with this printer series, and others, evaluating Windows 7 RC (build 7100).

  • Installing Photosmart 8250 printer on a Windows 8.1 computer

    Till recently, I ran the printer successfully on a Windows XP computer. However, I recently bought a Windows 8.1 computer. The installation CD supplied with the printer does not recognise Windows 8.1. I have downloaded the printer installation file hppiw.exe, which is supposed to provide access to up to date drivers. However, all this does is go through a Discovering Device process, then it shuts down.
    Can anyone advise how to access & install a suitable printer driver?

  • Can't install HP Photosmart 2575 on BootCamp with windows 7

    Upgraded to OS X Lion and, so far didn't have any major problems. Then I opted to upgrade to Windows 7 on my BootCamp partition, since Windows XP is not supported any more. My HP Photosmart 2575 worked fine under Windows XP. But now, in Windows 7 I can't get the installer to work. The system recognizes the printer in the (ethernet) network with IP and everything but, the installer won't install the appropriate driver for the printer. Error code 0x00003afc. Sending problem to HP via internet comes up with a solution for printers connected via USB, but I have ethernet connection. Anyone a solution by any chance?

    Please re-post on the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows people hang out.

  • Using Photosmart essential 3.5 with Windows 7 Officejet 6110

    Hi, I installed Windows 7 without HP-Software and my printer prints well.
    Now I will use HP-Printersoftware, but Image-Zone I can´nt install and Photosmart I can install, but the Programm doesn´t  find my printer, so Photosmart doesn´t work. I can start Photosmart essential, but a message said "HP Photosmart Essential doesn´t works".
    Know somebody if it´s possible to work with Photosmart and Officejet 6110 in Windows 7.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi - I can't find any information on Photosmart Essential being compatable with Win7, so I'm assuming it isn't.  However, it looks like there is a new software - Photo Creations that you can download as a replacement and it is compatable with Win7.

  • How do I install iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows Vista?

    I've been trying for some time to install iTunes on my computer for some time now.  As I'm sure you're aware, the iPod Touch currently requires 10.5.3 in order to operate.  Here are the issues I've been having:
    After the I run the Setup and the iTunes Installer starts to run, this message pops up maybe two minutes into the process:
    An error occured during the installation of assembly
    'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32".version="8.0.50727.
    6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9alel8e3b",processo
    rArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support
    for more information.  HRESULT: 0x80070002
    I click Okay, and the installation process continues, up until the Status bar reads "Starting Services," at which point:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device)
    failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges
    to start the system services.
    Clicking "Retry" yields the same result, clicking "Ignore" skips to the end of the installation process, and clicking "Abort" rolls back the process and restarts at a certain point, until the end of the installation.  I get the "Congratulations!" screen, click "Finish" to exit the installer, but when iTunes tries to start up:
    Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application support is required to run iTunes. Please
    uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times.  I have restarted the computer after uninstalling and waited to reinstall.  Nothing seems to work.  All of this is exactly what occurs and quite frankly, it's more trouble than it's worth.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know ASAP.

    The forums for members of Apple's developer programs are here:
    http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
    If you're not doing development yourself, I would advise against installing either iTunes 10.5 or especially iOS 5. Both are beta software and almost certainly have faults and incomplete features. You definitely should not install iOS 5 on any device you depend on for general use.
    Regards.

  • Adobe creative cloud set up to install on a mac with parallels windows 8

    Unfortunately it is not possible to install the program it always displays an error message. how can you loess the problem?
    error message: This application can not be run from a network drive-. copy it to a local folder and strarten it again.

    I have just the regular version, not Professional.
    I mean "les integrated", in the sense that you really run Fusion "in a window". The more "integrated" approach means that Windows applications run as if they were for the Mac, and you do not see the Windows interface at all. I personnaly think tjat is too confusing. There is nothing wrong with it, just a bit more confusing. i like having it clear that Windows is in a seperate Window.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

    Hi All,
    I have installed SharePoint 2013 prerequisites successfully on windows server 2012. While installing SharePoint 2013, system struck on for several minutes. I have restart my system manually. Later I then installed prerequisites which showed a successful

    I am unable to find solution for this issue. what is the solution for this?
    Thanks in Advance..
    Prem Kumar

    To be honest, the quickest thing you could do (and what I would do regardless) is re-build the server (re-install Windows).

  • Basic questions regarding installing Forefront EP Client 2010 on Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We have a handful of servers and client machines (although these always seem to be expanding) and as such have previously just installed the Forefront Endpoint 2010 Client manually onto the various endpoints with updates being pushed via WSUS from a Windows
    2008R2 machine, without running to a full installation of SCCM or the Forefront Endpoint Server. However, trying to install the FEP 2010 client directly onto new Windows 2012R2 servers result in a "This OS is not supported" error.
    After checking some articles it appears that FEP 2010 might well be supported on Win 2012R2 (and Windows 8), but only if installed via SCCM. Is this correct?
    We do have access to SCCM 2012, but again I have shied away from this. I had hoped that maybe the SCCM Endpoint client could also be installed manually once more, but trying to install this on a Windows 2012R2 machine results in a "Windows compatibility
    mode is not supported by this program" error.
    Am I barking up the wrong tree and will I now have to finally learn and install SCCM? If so I take it that I can update my 2008R2 WSUS server to firstly Win 2012RS WSUS, then add SCCM 2012?
    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi Joyce,
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Hi,
    >>After checking some articles it appears that FEP 2010 might well be supported on Win 2012R2 (and Windows 8), but only if installed via SCCM. Is this correct?
    According to the blog below, Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 with Update Rollup 1
    is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/09/16/support-questions-about-win-8.1-and-winsvr-2012-r2-for-configmgr-and-endpoint-protection.aspx
    Please make sure you are running FEP 2010 update rollup 1. You could get it from the following link.
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2907566/en-us
    Thanks for the feedback. I should have said that I have indeed tried this. From the initial link you posted I found the "Update Rollup 1 for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010" (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2551095/en-us), however, this update
    itself apparently requires a prerequisite. Whist I have tried to install the prerequisite (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2554364/en-us) and the Forefront Update Rollup 1 directly onto a a Windows 2012 R2 machine, I end up with errors:
    Installing the Prerequisite result in a "Error code: 1642" in the log file. Have have tried to chase this error, but have not spent too much time digging as yet, but this appears to be more to do with the FEP server than the client.
    Installing with the FEP Update Rollup (obviously without the prerequisite), give us three folders (FepExt, FepReport and FepUx), none of which seem to be the client per se
    >>Ah, the later problem of trying to install a client from SCCM 2012 onto Windows 2012R2 maybe because I have been using SCCM 2012 SP1, and not SCCM 2012R2??
    In SCCM 2012, Endpoint Protection 2012 is integrated so you cannot install FEP 2010 in it.
    Best Regards,
    Joyce
    No no, What I meant was that I had hoped that I could install the client contained within SCCM 2012 R2 installation material manually onto a vanilla Windows 2012 R2 box (which is what I'm trying to do), in the same way that I could install the FEP 2010 on
    previous Windows OS. The ISO that I have currently from our systems team is that of SCCM 2012 SP1, not SCCM 2012 R2, and the client within the SP1 package does not install in Windows 2012 R2. I'm tyring to get hold of the SCCM 2012 R2 ISO now, which (from
    what I read) should allow me to manually install the client.
    I may well play with SCCM later, but is a little over kill for our estate (read 10's of servers and clients, rather than 1000's), however, we should have a campus licence for SCCM.
    Regards
    Chris
