Officejet Pro K550 in Windows Technical Preview

The most recent update to Windows Technical Preview Build 9879 keeps stopping the print spooler when the Officejet Pro K550 is attached. It worked fine in the previous builds. Any ideas? I need to keep the USB cable disconnected until I want to print and then uninstall the printer each time or keep restarting the print spooler each time I want to print anything.
Thanks

Hi,
Try running Windows Update and check if any driver update is available, any drivers for the Technical Preview are only available from Microsoft Update servers.
If the issue persists, you will need to wait till an update will become available by microsoft, as a beta OS you are likley to experience this kind of issues, devices hasn't have been tested much, as well as the entire operating system.

Unable to install officejet pro k550 in windows 7

Driver failed to install. Have also tried info from this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02663702&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us and still cannot get printer to install. Either as a network or when connecting via USB. USB printing gets installed and is ready and working but not the printer driver. I am doing everything on the Win 7 laptop as an administrator. I've installed Dell, Lexmark and an HP Color LJ CP1215 with out any problem but not this officejet pro k550.

Officejet Pro K550 Driver Failure in 10.6.8 & 10.7.4

A coworker's HP Officejet Pro K550 has stopped printing. Initially the error codes from the front panel indicated a paper jam. After disassembly (which is NOT easy btw) and a complete cleaning, the printer still refuses to function. I can print test pages all day long by holding the Resume button on the front panel of the printer. However, once I send a page to the printer from Microsoft Word, Preview, or any other program, the printer seizes and both the Power and Resume button flash as if there is a paper jam. There is none as no paper comes out. Curiously, if I use a Generic PCL Printer driver instead of the HP Officejet Pro K550 driver, I can print in black and white just fine. I've tested this on laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7.4 with the same results. I've reset the printing system on both machines with the same results. I'm officially out of ideas. Can anyone think of what's going on?

hi there,
i get the exactly same error,
i can also print by Generic PLC driver,
or output a config test page by holding power and pressing red X once on the printer.
but i always get "drucker ist belegt" which means "printer is in use" error when i try hps mac osx K550 10.7 driver !
everything works (hp utility tools to calibrate etc. stuff) except for printing from whatever application i use
what the hell is happening here? and how can i get full funtionality back?
i already have Firmware version 20061019 SPP0013H which seems like the only one i could download-
but, although i would possibly need this firmware update-
there is no way to install the firmware update,
since clever people of HP decided not to leave a tool for osx lion users,
the manual for doing firmware updates is only written for 10.4.8 users (maybe half a dozen years ago?!)
i cant find a update firmware option anywhere although i see a firmwareupdate.task plugin which seems to be for hp printer utility.... but i cant use it sensefully ....
what are you up to? making me crazy? making people buy new stuff?
is there any solution in sight?

Ink low lights on the Officejet Pro K550

I have this officejet pro k550 in which some lights went on indicating I'm running low on ink in some of the color cartridges. I replaced all the cartridges and the lights didn't go out. Now I look at "utilites" (on my Mac computer) and it says that I'm running low of ink. Do the lights automatically go out when you replace the ink cartridges or do I have to reset something? How can I be out of ink when I'm using new HP cartridges?
HELP PLEASE.

Did you find a solution? I have done the exact same thing and spent many hours trying to resolve this to no avail! Now I have 2 printers that won't work!!!

Margins ignored on OfficeJet Pro K550

I have a VB 2008 .NET program that I wrote. It prints labels. It works perfectly on my HP LaserJet 1018. I set the margins depending on which label on the sheet I want to print and it prints on that label. But on an HP OfficeJet Pro K550, it shifts the print down and to the right. I tell it to have a 0.5" left margin and 0.6 top margin and I get 1" at the left and .75 " at the top. The other two margins are correct and the resultant labelis the correct size, just shifted down and right.
Obviously this won't work because it doesn't print on the label!
I tried MS word 2003 and told it to print with 1/2" top and left margins and it worked.
So why does it work on the LaserJet and not the InkJet with the same margin settings?
Thanks......... Carl

Hyper-V Not Enabling on Build 10041 of the Windows Technical Preview

So I am running build 10041 of the Windows technical preview. I am not able to enable the Hyper-V Platform. Here are the steps:
Go to Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off - > Select Hyper-V Platform Checkbox.
Windows will perform the install and request a restart.
While restarting, I will get the updating windows message and at about 95 % it gives me a message to the tune of "Unable to update windows" and it roll backs the changes and restarts. No Hyper-V.
Note that I can install the Hyper-V tools with out any issues just the Hyper-V Hypervisor and Hyper-V services will not install.
Anyone have any ideas?

Can't provide an answer, but I have the same problem. I'd originally let my 9926 build, with Hyper-V installed and working, upgrade to the 10041 build. After installation things seemed OK, until I noticed I had no network connections working. They were all
still there, but I had no network access and trying to view the properties of either my physical NIC or the Hyper-V switches just gave me an error.
I tried uninstalling Hyper-V, but after doing that Windows wouldn't boot at all. It'd begin to start up, get almost to the login screen, but then die and reboot. I decided a rebuild would probably be best anyway, so I chose to do a Refresh when it offered
me the advanced repair options.
The Refresh mostly went well, the PC is running better now with a clean install, but I'm now stuck in the same situation where the Hyper-V server won't install. It installs, reboots, gets part way through configuring, then claims to fail and backs it all
out again. No real diagnostic info presented as to why.

Windows To Go Device using Windows Technical Preview

I have successfully made a Windows To Go Device by the steps in this Technet forum post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6991.windows-to-go-step-by-step.aspx
Note: I used a host machine running Windows Technical Preview already to make this device, since older versions (Windows 8/8.1) of DISM don't work for imaging Windows Technical Preview Installation.
Everything works fine. The device on which Windows To Go is running is a high-speed USB 3.0 HDD, so there is no significant performance difference. However, while updating to the new build 9860, the upgrade fails stating that you can't install it to a USB
Flash Drive.
Question 1) Does this problem has anything to do with the fact that I am NOT using the enterprise version of Windows Technical Preview, the only version which "technically" supports Windows To Go feature.
Question 2) My host machine (which I used to create Windows TP) has been updated to Build 9860. Should I use DISM to capture the image of this updated build and use it to image the WTG HDD device? Can I get detailed instructions on how to do this?

Hi G.One1,
In current time, there is no direct way to perform the upgrade, in both Native Boot to VHD and Windows To Go.
I was thinking a way to create a ISO file also, but the method would be a bit of complicated.
Here is my thought and steps.
First, if we update our Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise to 9860 build, we would get a install.esd file, in Windows 8.1, here is a tool called update advisor, which would
convert the esd file to ISO file, but in Windows 10 Technical Preview, there is no such thing. So my thought is to use the install.esd to create an install.wim or bootable ISO file.
In my first thought, I want to sysprep an updated OS, but it failed without doubt. So, I choose to use Reset option. Install.esd would be recognized a compressed install.wim.
I copy the install.esd to a 9841 build OS, for example, I copy it to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1 , it cannot reset the Windows OS.
I use Reset option in 9860 build OS, when it is finished, run sysprep, it ran well, I can capture 9860 build wim file (WDS server capture or dism command). We rename it as install.wim.
Use the captured install.wim to set recovery image in 9841 build(copy install.wim to C:\RecoveryImage, and run
reagentc.exe /setosimage /path C:\RecoveryImage /target c:Windows /Index 1), 9841 build succeed upgrade to 9860 build via Reset and Refresh options.
For Windows To Go, Yes, you can use all Windows features with your Windows To Go workspace. The only currently unsupported features are using the Windows Recovery Environment and PC Reset &
Refresh. So this way is not appropriate in your situation. But here we use these steps can convert the install.esd to install.wim, and use reset and refresh option to upgrade current build.
Refresh would upgrade without losing setting and data. For your scenario, use dism to apply 9860 install.wim would be your option.

There is no driver for Officejet Pro 8500 for Windows 10???

Unable to find a driver for Officejet Pro 8500 under Windows 10Old driver is blocked from running. Where is an updated driver? Was working fine under Windows 8.1.

I have the same problem. Does anyone know where are the drivers for windows 10. Also, I'm able to downloand the HP print scan doctor, however, once it tells me I need the software drivers because their are not install in my computer for my officerject 8500 A909g, it still recommend the HP print scan doctor but no drivers.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Printer forcing a preview page before printing

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 (my computer is Windows 7 home premium) and it worked great until a couple weeks ago, perhaps as result of my computer upgrading itself to IE 9, but I don't know.
Suddenly it started forcing open a Preview Page, making me wait (sometimes very long times) for the preview window to open, and then I had to click once again to actually start the printer. It is very annoying to have to wait endlessly for the window to open up, and then it's another click to actually start. It is wasting a lot of time and making the whole process much more cumbersome and tedious.
How can I go back to my printer starting immediately without all these in-between steps?

Hi there sorry to learn that you are facing this problem.
Are you still facing this issue? If you are I will do my best to help you.
Have you upgraded the firmware of your printer lately; you can get the latest firmware in the main support page for your printer
This is the main support page for your printer, GO HERE Go to software and drivers download and select your operating system. You should also upgrade the firmware of the printer.
If you are not experiencing this issue any longer, May you let me know, your time and courtesy, will be deeply appreciated.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 on Windows 8.1 driver not installed

Using Windows 8.1 and HP Officejet pro 8600. The printer is installed on a wireless network. But on Device Manager, it says "driver not installed". Most printing tasks are successful, but for some I need to have the driver installed on the computer. I have tried troubleshooting, but am unsuccessful. I would appreciate help. Thanks

Hi emax,
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
If the issue persists, add a new device if the IP address is valid.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, and then click Search.
In the Search box, type HP, and then click the icon for your printer. The printer software opens.
Click Utilities, and then click Printer Setup & Software Selection.
Click Connect a new printer.
Test the printer over the wireless network.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What is the printer's first 3 sets of numbers for the IPV4 address?
Could you access the printer's EWS?
Were you able to add a new device?
Thank You.

Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer. Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart. Single sided printing seems to be fine. I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point. Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again. THanks for your assistance.

Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.
