Need Printer driver for F4240 on Vista

I've been using this printer for years with no trouble.  All of a sudden, it stopped working.  My system said it needed a driver.  For the life of me, I cannot find one.  The installation disk that came with the printer does no good.  None of the HP assisting utilities does any good for locating a driver.  Can somebody PLEASE help me?  I don't have time to investigate, purchase, and install another printer.  I need a driver for the F4240 now.  Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums! I see you're having issues regarding your drivers.  I would like to help! Do you have any issues making a copy? I'd recommend starting with a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

    Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
    Canon support says none available.

    thanks

    Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
    If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.

  • Need printer driver for Style Writer 2400

    I need a printer for my Power Book G3 running OS 9.0.4.  It has a printer extension for a Style Writer 2500.  I found a Style Writer 2400 on line and need a printer driver for the 2400 OR will the printer 2500 extension work for the 2400.  Also, what is the differnce between the 2400 & 2500 ?

    Hi,
    According to the text file for the Color StyleWriter 2500 download, the Color StyleWriter 2400 is supported.

    http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html#print
    Whenever possible, use the printer extension supplied with the operating system.
    It is mainly a print quality (DPI) difference:

  • Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can I get it?

    I need Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can i get it? Plz help me. If yes, then where and if no, why?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The Acrobat printer produces a PS file that is then sent to the Distiller process to create a PDF. The other PPD you mention is something I know nothing about. However, why would you want to use a different driver? The Adobe PDF driver is optimized for use in creating PDF files and other routes may not produce as good of a result. If the other PPD produces a PDF, then why are you asking about the Adobe driver?

  • Need to find printer driver for OS 9.0.4 for Epson Stylus NX415

    Here's my problem:
    I have an old strawberry-colored original iMac, running OS 9.0.4.
    I also have an Epson Stylus NX415 all-in-one printer.
    But -- the iMac does not recognize the printer.
    In order for this printer to connect to this Mac, I need to have a "printer driver" extension that I can install (and then restart), so that the printer appears in the "Chooser" window, so I can select it there.
    I'd need either a printer driver specific to the NX415, or some kind of generic Epson printer driver compatible with this specific model.
    But here's the problem: I think the NX415 was first manufactured AFTER OSX was introduced, so it could be that Epson never even bothered to make a printer driver for OS 9 for the NX415.
    Help!
    I've scoured the Internet and legacy sites that specialize in old OS 9 software, and also scoured Epson's site, and could not find any appropriate printer drivers in any of those places.
    Any suggestions, or specific links to where I can download such a driver?
    Or is it the case that this printer simply physically will NEVER work with this model of Mac, and I should just give up?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    A good guess would be that you are right in that an NX415 driver for Mac OS 9 was not made because of the fact that the printer is much newer than the operating system. It is probably going to be difficult to find a Mac OS 9 driver for another model that will allow any or all parts of the all-in-one printer in question to work properly. However, if you wish to carry out experiments, the Mac OS 8/9 drivers on the Epson support page for CX3200 may be as close as you can get.
    Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

    I need a Ricoh SP 204SN printer driver for Mac OS X Mavericks. Can anyone help.

    This is a few years old, but it's the best I can do. I stopped using Windows many years ago.
    If you have specific questions, maybe I can answer, but remember I don't have access to any Windows newer than XP. I think setup will be similar, but I don't know if the Windows-side software will be compatible with W7 or W8.

    Hi LChristofaro,
    I have researched your error message and the Msiexec.exe error and it is an issue with windows installer. I recommend restarting your windows installer.
    To do this:
    1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
    2. Double-click "Windows Installer" in the Services list.
    3. Click Stop and click OK.
    4. Click Start and click OK.
    Restart you computer and try the install again.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thank you,

  • Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

    I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch.  I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers.  Hit the "+" button.  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
    I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it.  The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success).  I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why is this method not working with this printer?
    I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement.  Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
    I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully printed a document page.  While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
    I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog.  The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
    I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work.  I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you.  I was on the road all day yesterday.
    OK.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network.  That did not work.  I swapped out the cable for one that I know works.  Still no change.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router.  No change.  I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
    As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
    Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?  
    After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

  • Need a Driver for a New HP Laptop. Driver is Not Available on This Site.

    A customer of mine just bought two new HP Pavilion Dv7-1135nr.  For some reason they each have different DVD drives.  One works.  The other one, says its DVD drive needs a driver.  It has Vista, so I tried to update the driver via the web, and that didn't work.  Then I came to this site to find it on the laptop's product page, and it's not there. Does anyone know where I could track this driver down?  
    Again, the computer is an HP Pavilion Dv7-1135nr. The drive in question is called: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA I 50L ATA Device. 
    (As I said, the other, seemingly identical computer which has the exact same model number has a different drive.  That drive is called: TS-L6332.  It will not work in the computer that is having problems.)
    Thanks in advance,
    Vincent.

    My Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system has a built-in driver for this printer model:
    I don't know whether the driver is present on a fresh Windows install; it may only have appeared in the list after the Windows Update button was clicked on the above Add Printers dialogue, then waiting (perhaps for several minutes) whilst additional drivers were downloaded, and the list repopulated.
    I'd assume that the same might be true of earlier Windows versions as well.
