LaserJet M1212nf MFP ,Vista Home Premium SP2,printer driver

Hello
I have a HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC and I have installed a LaserJet M1212 nf MFP multipurpose machine.
I can send FAX ,I can scan,I can copy but can not print as I get a message asking me to install the driver.
When I answer no, it opens the properties window and when I click on print test page I get a message "Access denied"
If I answer "yes" a wizard opens but I can not find the right driver in the CD
I am administrator on the PC
Please help
Thank you
Dimitris

Hi @dimitrisprev , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're experiencing driver issues. I would like to help!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, as administator, I would suggest reinstalling the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
Please click “Accept as Solution " if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Satellite L355D-S7901 (PSLE8U-02P01D) s/n ********* - Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit

Long story short; back in February of last year, some "Shop" downstate replaced the HDD in this unit, and evidently installed from a "Master" disk (Non-tosh); failed to install the Tosh model specific drivers, and didn't dupe the old HDD (which was apparently only failing, not yet failed), so no Recovery partition or recover disks, either home-made or Tosh.
First question (since Toshibas phone support may as well not exist, and the Recovery set purchasing page doesn't provide answers until AFTER the purchase); how fast is expidited fulfillment within CONUS?
Q2: Is there a machine/model specific list of the latest drivers/utilities/Apps?
The support page is kludgy at best and seems to list ALL drivers since day one for all variations of a given model. I'd rather not spend the time weeding through ALL of them to find just those that apply.
I've salvaged all of the data, and I'm pig-headedly trying to clean this beast up and replace corrupted files, but failing the ability to do an "in-place upgrade" for repair purposes (as in XP), it may come to doing a fresh install.
This individual has to head back off to her university by month's end, so I'm up against it without the Recovery set.
TIA!

What are you upgrading to/from? As you say, you have a store bought Windows Vista install disk(s). Also, it appears as if you have Vista OS already on the laptop. Maybe I'm missing something.
The existing installation of Vista Home Premium SP2 on the HDD that is mostly functional needs some repairs and "sfc /scannow" can't do those repairs because the recovery partition was not recreated when some putz replaced the HDD nearly a year and a half ago.
It's not truly an "upgrade" as such; that's just the term used.
I'm wanting to do what's known as an "in-place upgrade"; essentially, it simply replaces the Windows files without affecting your existing applications or data, at least that's how it worked with previous versions of Windows.
You're simply directing it to upgrade your Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit to Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit, repairing itself along the way.
You then need to do all Windows updates that succeeded the printing of THAT DVD and reregister, but that's a minor nuisance.
From the image you have provided, it appears as if the Vista installation disk does not recognize the hd on the laptop, and is asking for a driver so it can detect it.
Precisely! I need to know what the name of that driver for this particular model Toshiba is so that I can download it, feed it to that prompt, and proceed from there, but the driver d/l page for this Tosh doesn't appear to list anything specifically for the AHCI controller (at least nothing that I can discern).
What happens if you have the Vista install disk in the drive and you start your laptop? You can use the Windows install disk to do a repair (is that what you are trying to do?).
That will supplant the current installation, not repair it! All of the existing data, settings, and applications will be erased. You can only perform an "in-place upgrade" from within Windows.

Installed LaserJet M1212nf MFP on new computer. Prints but wont scan.

I just installed Laser Jet M1212nf MFP printer on a new computer. It installed itself and prints fine. It wouldnt scan so I downloaded the software from the HP website. It still doesnt scan. I don't know what to do next. My computer doesnt pick up the fact that there is a new scanner.

Solved my own problem. the name of the laserjet showed up as 1210 instead of 1212 on my computer. It still isnt working properly, but at least the new computer recognzes the printer. Onto the next problem..

Problem synching calendar to 5gen iPod nano (Vista Home Premium SP2)

My iPod 5gen nano will not sync my Outlook 2010 calendar, and thus my To Do Lists, which I use for college. I am using iTunes 10.1.0.54 on Vista SP2, I get error messages on some occasions, (one stating something about logging in or out of Windows?) and crashes on others. I really need my calendar to sync.

You posted to the wrong area of discussions. This is the 5th Generation iPod group (the video full sized iPods that were released previous to the "Classic" models). If you are asking a Nano question, you want to post to this area...

Trouble with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 x64

Hello everyone
My system is in a very big mess. I'm using Ideapad y550 and recently I was hit by the continuous restart cycle. I updated my windows as usual and after a system restart as part of the update processs, windows just kept on restarting. "configuring updates part 3" and it would always be at 0%. Anyway, I searched the internet and came across a solution. I downloaded a Vista recovery disc (since Lenovo did not provide me with one) and went to command prompt and deleted a certain file that was causing this restart loop. Now, after that day I have been hit with more problems. Here
1) windows does not update anymore. Always shows "searching for updates" and is stuck there forever
2) "turn windows feature on/off" box is always empty.
3) "sfc /scannow" does not work anymore. gives a "windows protection error" or something similar.
4) I failed to install Microsoft Office 2010 as it gives this error "Error 1935 - HRESULT: 0x8007054F". I am stuck with no office application as I deleted office 2007 to install this and cannot do my university work!
5) windows has gotten extremely slow.
ok that is a huge list, I know. Could someone please help me? I am really lost right now and going back to factory settings is not an option since I do not have backup. I'm ready to try everything to avoid that. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks so much for your efforts

clean windows installation will delete all the files you have on volume c:
i didn't suggest you to repair, cause i don't think it'll help, but you can try.
just use windows repair to save your personal files, after then perform clean installation not to have any other issue(s).

Firefox 6.0.2 on Vista Home Premium SP2 - Your new version, just updated, will not start.

Only crash box appears. Firefox no longer opens at all. This happened only after your latest update. I tried re-loading Firefox direct from mozilla.org and it still doesn't work.

32-bit Vista Home Premium - Explorer.exe visual basic library C++ runtime crash

Friends,
I have a weird Explorer.exe crash going on when attempting to use Windows Explorer to access my iTunes Movies folder.
Background: Running 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) on a Gateway GM5664 Desktop (2.3 GHz Quad-core AMD CPU with 3 Gb RAM). Firefox is primary browser.
All of the latest Vista updates suggested by the OS have been successfully installed (thru 8-14-09). McAfee and Dr. Web scanners have shown no malware issues as of yesterday. Latest Radeon Catalyst Video Drivers are installed. C: drive has been cleaned and defragmented using the Vista utilities.
Situation: I attemped to access the directory where my iTunes Video library lives using Windows Explorer. As Explorer is processing the files in the appropriate sub-directory, the system crashes with the following message:
"Runtime error in explorer.exe. The application has required the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team
for more info." It indicates the nature of the error as something related to Visual Basic C++
I downloaded the freeware CCleaner registry cleaner, and it corrected numerous registry errors, however, the phenomenon still exists. When I downloaded
a commercial registry-fixing product (Quad Registry Cleaner), after doing a preliminary scan, it is indicating several more errors that the freeware version didn't pick up, the most common being empty registry keys. Since most commercial registry cleaners are snake oil, I am trying to identify other solutions to the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder if there is a file in your movie folder that is upsetting Windows explorer when it attempts to preview it or display an icon.
As an off the wall suggestion try setting your folder view to the simplest possible thing, no preview and list view.
If you can't get into the problem folder, you can set this up in another folder and then go to folder options>>view where there is a button to apply the setting to all folders.

Unable to scan and communicate with scan function C6180 Vista Home Premium 64 bit Printing works

I have an all in one C6180 Photosmart connected by wireless network (infrastructure). Network consists of 2-laptops, 1-Desktop and the printer. Everything works from HP solution Center on the Compaq laptop and the Dell desktop both running Windows XP. My newest laptop is a Dell studio XPS core2 2.4ghz running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I am unable to scan from the Dell Laptop using HP Solution Center nor can I scan from the printer buttons to the laptop. Solution Center opens I select "scan document" and immediately get an error message "unable to communicate with scanning device. Likewise with the copy function. The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly. All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine. I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP. I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

Sorry about your pain. L3 uninstall is what I recommend. Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.

HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer - Communication Failure with the scanner

Dear all,
May I kindly ask if there are any known resolutions in terms of a scanning issue with the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer?
When it starts scanning the printer only scans the up to the 3rd or 4th page, it stops in the middle of the sheet and produces an error message stating the following: Communication Failure with the scanner.
Are there any steps that may be followed in order to resolve the incident?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ryan

Hi @Ryan_HP ,
I see that you are experiencing a communication error during scanning of multiple pages. I would like to help, but I will need some more information to provide you with the correct steps to resolve this issue.
If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to rule out any interference.
Try scanning again.
What operating system are you using?
How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
What scanning software are you using?
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

Can't print to a 6540 HP printer shared by a Vista Home Premium PC

Hello, I have been trying to print from my MacBook to a printer shared by a Vista Home Premium PC but I just can't seem to make it right. I have been searching on the support discussion hoping to solve the problem but still, no luck. In the discussions that I read I followed some instructions but still no solution.
Firat I tried to add the printer using the windows printing option, I can see the computer the printer is shared on the network, but no printer, so I kept looking in the discussions and found that I should try someting else.
Then I read another, it said that I should try LPD printing, so I enabled it on the windows vista PC. I checked that both subnet masks and workgroups where the same, and they were. Then I tried to add it on my MacBook, but now the driver was not available on my Mac so I checked another discussion. The next discussion said that I should download some ghostscrip from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/ and to repair permissions and I did, then my hopes went really up, but still no luck
Can anyone really help me to solve this problem, I know there should be answer for this.

Sorry, I can't really tell what solved to issue finally but I can tell you what I did step by step:
First I enabled LDP in the Vista computer
Check the Vista computer ip using the ipconfig comman in cmd
Check the Vista computer Workgroup and check it on my mac, they were the same.
Download the ghostscript files and installed them so that the correct driver could be selected.
Go to the add printers and pressing the alt option key click on more printers.
I chose the LDP thing
On name I wrote the printer name, very simple one
on the URL field I wrote the vista ip/printer name
I chose the exact same driver for the prnter.
Went to the vista computer again and opened the 515 port for TCP and UDP (I didn't know the difference so I did both)
Went to the router settings and opened the same port for TCP and UDP again.
Then everything worked fine!

Adding a network printer to a Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit laptop

I have a Deskjet 5150 printer conntected to a desktop running on Windows XP. It is set up as a shared network printer. When I attempt to add this networked printer to my laptop has Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit OS, I get a message that states "The server for the 'hp deskjet 5100 series' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK." I can not find the *.INF file that is needed. I have downloaded the proper driver to the desktop and my laptop, but I do not know where to "browse" in order to locate the file.

Hope this helps, it worked for me
I used the shared printer name "printer" in printer propertys for mine.
Alternative method 1. 1. Click on the Windows icon>>Start Search>>Type printers and press enter. 2. Click on 'Add Printer'. 3. Click on 'Add a local printer'. 4. Click on 'Create a new port:'. 5. Do not change the 'Type of port:'. By default it is selected as 'Local Port'. Let it remain the same. 6. Click on 'Next'. 7. In the small 'Port name:' window, type the following under 'Enter a port name:'
  NOTE: The names should be exactly the same. They are case sensitive.
  \\computer name\printer name
  For instance: If computer name is 'John' and printer name is 'HPprinter', you have to type the exact name with all the characters including spaces. Hence in this case it would be the following:
\\John\HPprinter
8. Click on OK. 9. Click on Next and complete the Wizard. (It will now install the printer and driver) I used the 7400 series driver for my 7550 but it works.10. Try to print a Windows test page and check the printer functionality. 1 Click on the Start icon on your Desktop.2.Select Control Panel.3.Double click on the Printer icon.4.Select and Right click on HP Photosmart 7550 Printer series icon.5.Click on Properties.6.In the Properties Windows click on Print Test Page Tab it will start printing a Windows Test Page
