Photosmart 2710 lost functions in windows 7

My Windows XP computer died so now I have Windows 7 starter on a netbook. HP website tells me to use the driver that comes with Windows 7 instead of the one I previously had (HP driver rub_w01_Americas_Euro1_NB).
But this doesn't have HP Director so I can't set up preferences such as a folder that I want scans to be saved to. (I use Evernote so I want to set up an option to save pdfs and tiffs to the folder that imports from.)
It's completely slowed down my workflow as I have to enter settings (what few there are now) manually.
I can't adjust the scan settings. The only way to scan seems to be to have to open my web browser and go to the EWS page. And that only gives me a choice of 4 settings. I scan all sorts of things and adjust resolution both for image quality and for file size. Sometims colour, sometimes not. I can't do that any more.
The "workarounds" I found on an HP support page were very limited and didn't address these issues.
I bought the Photosmart because it prints well and is flexible and I could set it up to do what I needed to quickly. Not any more.
Surely there is an updated driver for Windows 7 but I can't find it. I downloaded the HP wizard (HPPIW) that detects your system and says what driver to get: it only directs me to the one in Windows 7. I found this page which had a link to a driver but that seems to be for the C4780 so I haven't risked installing it.
Please can someone point me to the driver I need to get back the functions?
Or will the Windows XP driver I had before work OK under Windows 7 starter?
Thank you.
Clare

XP drivers will not work in Windows 7. You might try using Windows Fax and Scan to see if it offers any of the options you need.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Scan-a-document-or-photo-with-Windows-Fax-and-Scan
Depending on which netbook you have there may be other programs installed that utilize your scanner and offer options. Even the 'Paint' app on all Windows machines has ability to 'Import' from a scanner, not sure what options it offers. It is in Start,All Programs,Accessories.

Photosmart 2710 prints garbage from Windows 8.1 but prints OK from Windows 7

Photosmart 2710 connected wirelessly to Verizon FIOS router, prints fine when sent files from Windows 7 clients (also connected wirelessly). When sent print jobs from a Windows 8.1 wireless client, printer produces page after page of single lines of mostly graphics characters, with an occasional page of several lines of what appears to be XML.
Printer driver was installed using the standard 'Add printer' button on the Devices and Printers dialog under Control Panel.
I have downloaded and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which found no problems, but its Test Page produced the same erroneous behavior.
Windows 8.1 on Asus X551 notebook, Intel Celeron 1007U x64 processor, 64-bit OS.

Hi
Try the drivers from the link below on the windows 8.1 unit

HP Photosmart 8150 or 8050 fully functional with Windows 7?

I just purchased a used 8150 Photosmart printer due to failure of feeder mechanism on another older Photosmart printer. Lost my PC, monitor and scanner to a lightning strike the following day. A computer technician tells me my 8150 can't print photos at all from my new PC with Windows 7 as I can no longer download the necessary Photosmart Essential software from HP. Is this correct or is it still fully functional?
On the other hand, would it be easier to buy a newer Photosmart printer? Is an 8050 Photosmart fully functional with Windows 7? It looks to have a driver download and so forth, but I want to make sure before I go out and buy yet another printer that isn't fully functional. I loved the Photosmart Essential software that came with the 8150 and 8050, and would like to continue printing photos using similar software.

Hi,
It's correct in one way: Photosmart Essential software has been replaced with a new software called HP Proto creations. You can download from the following link:
http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/photo-creations.html
And Yes, no more driver support for the old 8150 from the Vista ages or at least 5 years now. Buying new printer would be the way to go if you wish to get better photo prints otherwise just waisting inks (very expensive) and papers.
Regards.

HP Photosmart 2710 - driver - Windows 8 load no go help !!!!

Running in circles trying to load the HP Photosmart 2710 All In One - driver - on the newer Windows 8 Desktop computer. We are set up with a router & the rest of the laptops work fine. I've gone to the http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4132&product=420...
All In One HP Print Support Screen and tried to down load the driver through the wizzard & manually. I have no signs that it is attempting to load.
Please help.
Thanks,

With the 2710 printing via the USB cable we know the class driver is available on the computer. I want you to have Windows Defender disabled, you can enabled it once the printer is added.
Remove the USB connection and restart the computer.
Open Devices and Printers then click Add a printer.
Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer then select your 2710 (if the 2710 does not display in this list the printer is not being seen over the network and will have to be setup on the network again)
Under Manufacturer select HP then under printers look for and select your 2710 (it may display as 2700)
Finish the install and try to print.
Let me know if this helped.
Thanks,

Hi lt12345,
I understand that you are looking to use the Photosmart 2710 with Windows 8.1 RT, but are unable to locate a driver. In my attempt to locate a driver I have come up empty handed. It appears that this printer is not supported for printing from Windows RT.

REPEATED disconnections & flashing buttons: PhotoSmart 2710 & Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

Dear Representative:
I've TRIED numerous of the previously discussed (on this board, among other technical websites Google found outside of HP) suggested techniques to resolve this problem, along with trying a variety of other software fixes on my own. So far NONE has fixed my PhotoSmart 2710's repeated malfunction (I would say this probably happens more than TWO DOZEN times each day).
Problem is I do not know a technical term to describe or associate this type of malfunctioning behaviour. So I have to describe thismalfunctioning behavior in detail. It is important to mention I am using a D-Link wireless router- with one of the four networking outgoing CAT-5 ports connected to the printer with a CAT-5 cable. I am not using the PhotoSmart's wireless since this has caused similar behaviors- even when running Windows XP and 2000 Pro.
Each time this malfunctioning behavior happens: ALL of the buttons (Copy, Scan, Fax, and photo), the light next to the "on" button & the "!" light FLASHES until I press the "on" button to restart the 2710. When this malfunction happens, the 2710's LCD Screen's colorful background disappears, and is replaced with a solid blue background. The top-half of the 2710's LCD screen states "Error:0x887dc92e" and the bottom-half states: "1:??" Also HP's Digital Imaging Monitor (using the Vista 64 version Software Essentials) in the quick-launch bar pops up a mini-window which states "hp 192.168.0.103 is disconnected."
HP's Windows Vista 64 bit software (PhotoSmart Essential version 1 & 3) and Windows 7 64 bit HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility & HP Print Software Patch When Upgrading Vista to Windows 7 have NOT fixed the problem, and Windows 7 Microsoft Update driver for the 2700 series printers will NOT install.
Please advise: (1) What is this type of malfunctioning behavior called?
(2) Are there non-previously mentioned software or techniques you recommend to correct this problem?
Thank you in advance for your time, interest and assistance resolving this problem!
Charles
EDIT: I forgot to mention: (1) 3 computers are connected through the wireless router to the printer. My t500 ThinkPad (Runs Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit), Tecra M4-S435 (runs Windows XP Pro- Tablet Edition), and ANCIENT Gateway Desktop (Intel Celeron Processor 633MHz, with 512 MB ram) which runs both Windows XP Pro and 2000 Pro.
(2) When I tried to connect my t500 to the PhotoSmart 2710 with HP's XP (NON-64 bit) full-software & driver (Running this program in Windows 7 Ultimate 64's compatibility OS mode for XP SP3), the installation software FOUND the printer through the network automatically OR after I gave the IP address / MAC address, but repeatedly went backward in the setup process- asking if I was connecting to the printer by USB cable OR through the network.

I had a similar problem.
I tried doing a partial reset by removing the power cable holding down # and 3 while plugging in the power cable. A message appears on the screen saying partial reset, but this did not resolve the problem.
I then restarted the printer and opened it to show the ink cartridges. Once they had stopped moving around I removed both ink cartridges before the lights started flashing and the printer then started as normal!
I put the ink cartridges back in restarted the printer and all worked ok.
Not sure if it makes a difference but all cables other than the power cable were unplugged at the time.
Hopefully this will help resolve someone else's problem...

Why all gray in sidebar? Lost functionality!

I've just upgraded (? not convinced I'm seeing an improvement) from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality.
Could someone suggest how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?

As an update, that 3rd party program called SideEffects didn't continue to enable the colors in the sidebar to appear. What I find most interesting is that the original color designations ARE present, it's just that some additional code eliminates them from appearing. Seems like Apple should easily be able to give the user the option whether to stay with the insipid all gray theme with colored tags or to re-enable the highly functional display of colors in the sidebar in a window and in the sidebar in the "save as" windows. There's no reason that we couldn't have both the "tags" (apparently meant for people who don't use the folder hierarchy when saving files to enable them to rapidly find their files again) and the previous nicely colorful "labels". I see that the gray sidebar has been a complaint ever since OS 10.7 Lion, but that Apple hasn't fixed the issue through several major OS revisions..
I feel I've been punished for being very ordered in where I save files on my HD since I made extensive use of the tools provided by Apple in the past: I could color-group subdirectories on my HD within the sidebar to give me very quick access to different portions of the subdirectories I'd made within my Documents folder. I made less use of labels, but also found them to be superior to tags for how I do use them. I have found tags to be of no value to me, at the expense of the loss of something that was of value. I sure hope that Yosemite corrects this — but I’m beginning to have less faith that Apple is even listening to its customers — except for those who use the iOS and not the Mac OS.

PhotoSmart 2710 Printer Feeder cannot handle more than one page at a time

1. Product Name and Number -> Photosmart 2710 Wireless All in One Printer
2. Operating System installed (if applicable) -> OSX 10.6 / 10.7
3. Error message (if any) -> None
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred -> None
My printer works fine except that the paper feeder has difficulty feeding more than one sheet at a time. When I put a stack of more than one sheet of paper in the feeder tray, the printer might successfully print one or two pages, but then pages will overlap (top of printed page is on one sheet, bottom on another or multiple sheets will be grabbed at the same time so only the first sheet gets printed and the others are blank.
I do mostly standard office paper printing so no real experience with heavier pages. I get my paper from Office Supply stores, like Staples, and brand does not seem to make a difference. Have had same experience with Store Brands, National paper company brands and have even used HP branded paper with same results.
I have no problems when I manually feed individual sheets to the printer So I have essentially a single sheet printer. Any help appreciated.
Thank You

Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
This topic seeks:
a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
Thank you
Graham

the new way
Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
Critically
The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
— but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

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.

CreateThread function in windows 8.1 phone Applications

Hi,
can we use the CreateThread function in Windows 8.1 phone App's?
Windows Phone 8.1: This function is supported for Windows Phone Store apps on Windows Phone 8.1 and later.
Above line from MSDN, I see that it is supported for windows 8.1 and later. Does this mean it can used "without any" difference from the Desktop app's? Old desktop SW can be directly ported keeping this function intact to create the threads?
I'm asking this because, I have read in few (albeit OLD, blogs DOT msdn DOT com/b/shawnhar/archive/2012/03/12/createthread-for-windows-8-metro.aspx?PageIndex=2) blogs that WINRT does not have this and we cannot directly use this call, and port this to either
task based or have some other wrapper function as shown in the link.
Thanks.

Note that there is a workaround for Windows Store apps.

Entering a "$" in the SSID password when setting up an HP Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer

Hello,
I have a Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer, and I am trying to set it up wirelessly. However, my SSID as a "$" in the password, and I can't find any way to enter this symbol in the wireless setup on the printer. Also, when I try to run the HP Printer setup wizard I downloaded from the HP support site, it says this printer is not supported by the wizard?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
jmmain1

You must change your wireless password in the router to not conntain any special characters. Once done, go back and input the password in the printer.
