Printer Driver Addition

How would I go about requesting the addition of a specific printer driver in an upcoming patch? I already have tracked down multiple working ppd files for this printer, and have succeeded in getting the printer (HP Deskjet 6940) to work with a driver included in the standard Solaris 10 distribution. However, the powers that be would feel much more warm and fuzzy about the system if I had the exact correct driver for the system, delivered by Sun, so as not to have any licensing issues. Thanks.

Well, the way I look at it that Apple has been steering developers in certain directions for years. This version of Office was not written with that in mind. I presume that whatever changes that caused this issue were for a good reason and not done simply to break applications. I assume there's some functionality that Apple no longer supports that this 8 year-old version doesn't use.
I think one of the ways that Apple avoids some long-term headaches is by leading (or dragging) some companies forward. Apple dropped Classic. Rosetta is now optional in Snow Leopard. Everything's moving towards Cocoa. Carbon apps (which I assume this version of Office is) have to evolve or die.
Ultimately, if Apple has to make changes, then apps may have to change to match. Apple certainly doesn't have Microsoft's source code and may not have even known the change would cause that behavior. If MS isn't testing that version then why should Apple bother?
I certainly don't upgrade every app to every new version, but I made it a point to buy a Mac OS X-native version of my key apps. I bought an Intel-native version of Photoshop. On the whole, I buy every other major version of my major apps. iWork '09 would be a way better value for you, if it meets your needs. Certainly, anyone who simply isn't willing to upgrade apps ever, probably shouldn't upgrade their operating system ever, or wait until it's been out long enough to be 100% sure that everything you require is compatible. The apps and OS operate in lockstep and it's perhaps wishful thinking to assume that nothing will go wrong when you change one but not the other.
Of course, you could also make the argument that a company that doesn't support its applications only two versions old doesn't deserve your business. Then again, I think most large developers operate this way.

  • Unable to load HP 8600 printer driver on laptop

    Hi Folks,
    Just installed a new HP Officejet 8600 printer into my home network.  The network consists of 4 PC’s, two desktops and two laptops…all are running XP SP3 with the latest updates.  The HP printer and one of the desktops are connected by Ethernet to a wireless router.  The other desktop and both laptops are connected wirelessly via 802.11.  Installation of the printer driver was successful with both desktops and one of the laptops.  The other laptop, a Dell Latitude D520, fails on the final step of the installation process, after selecting the printer name following its detection on the network.  Avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes run on all the machines and are disabled, along with Windows firewall, during the install process.  The following dialog is displayed:
    “Unsuccessful Network Installation – The printer was unable to be installed over the network.”
    No other error information is provided.  I’ve tried installing from the product CD (which is up to date) as well as the driver software downloaded from the HP support site, rebooting multiple times.  I also downloaded the recommended HP troubleshooting tool (HP Installation Failure – Unknown Device) and ran through the process a couple of times without success.  All of the machines, including the D520 laptop, can see each other as well as the HP printer.  There are no network issues I’m aware of.
    I’ve exhausted what little expertise I have in this area.  If anyone out there can think of a possible solution or provide some suggestions, I’d sure appreciate it.  Thanks much.

    Hello marconi10. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to install your printer on one computer, over a wireless connection. I'm going to suggest a very simple workaround, which if it works, will remove any complicated troubleshooting that would be necessary:
    Please try installing the printer with a USB connection. If this does not work, you know that there is an issue occurring with the computer.
    If this does work, the printer will be successfully installed. At that point, you can change the connection type from USB to wireless. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless
    If the printer will still not connect wireless, this will point out a computer issue. For additional information and troubleshooting, relating to the inability of installing the printer over a wireless network, please reference this HP document: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During Wireless Network Installation
    Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

  • Unable to load Canon MP160 printer driver

    I've had the hardest time using my Canon MP160 printer on my iMac (Mac OS 10.5). In fact, I'm not able to print at all.
    I have the printer connected via USB. It always has been. However, it only stopped working recently.
    I downloaded the drivers for the printer and scanner from Canon's web site. However, when I attempt to load the printer driver, the "Installing Canon IJ Printer Driver" window appears. It gets to the "Finishing Installation" part in the process. But it "hangs" at some point and does not complete. I've tried it twice. It hung at two different points in the process. I tried letting it run overnight. That was no good.
    I've also looked for the "Printer Setup Utility" and can't seem to find that anyplace. I'm wondering why I can't find that.
    If anybody could help me solve this, I'd be so thankful.

  • Printer driver for an HP LaserJet 1000 series for use with Windows 7

    The CD ROM HP LaserJet 1000 series printer driver is not recognized by my new Windows 7 PC. So the printer does not work. I've looked on the HP web site for compatible drives and get the hint that a Vista driver would work. Can someone please confirm if this possible and how this is accomplished? Thanks.

    Where did you find a hint that Vista drivers would work?  This page says:
    Your LaserJet model is not supported in Windows 7.
    For more information regarding upgrade programs and new product information, please visit the HP Trade-In/Trade Up website at www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_flash.html or directly from HP at www.hp.com .
    Additionally, this page says the Laserjet 1000 is not supported in Vista.
    If you are using the 32 bit version of Windows 7 it may be possible to download the XP drivers here and install them.

  • Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

    I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
    I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
    I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
    I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
    Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
    The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network.  The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS. 
    Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

    Hi, 
    Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
    From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7.  On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
    Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
    Disconnect the printer from the PC.
    Run Revo and see if it finds any  HP Printer Software installed.  If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries.  If you are, just select all and click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once completed, reboot the PC.
    Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
    If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.

  • Printer driver for HP LaserJet 4L with Windows 7

    I cannot find the printer driver for my LaserJet 4L in Windows 7.  I have a parallel to USB converter cable attached to my computer.   I need the drivers.
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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.

  • Need to export windows 7 x64 builtin printer driver to a x86 print server

     Hi,
    We're planning our migration to windows 7 x64. But our environment doesn't have a x64 server neither a Server 2008; we only have x86 server 2003.
    We are having trouble with printer Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f. I spoke with Konica support, they advised me they do not have a x64 driver for this model yet. The tech told me i can use the
    HP LaserJet Family PCL5 driver built-in windows 7. I connected the network printer and selected the built-in driver from the list. So far this works as a charm.
    Here's my concern, in order to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit server, i need to first to connect the printer from the print server to my x64 computer. But when i try this, i don't have the
    prompt to select a driver from win7 built-in drivers. When i choose connect to... it asks me to locate a INF file on my computer. I don't have the INF file since its built-in windows. I tried to look within Windows's file system, under "Windows\INF\" but i
    couldn't find what i need.
    1. How can i export or find a built-in driver file within windows 7?
    2.Is there is a better way to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit Server 2003?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Benoit

    Hi Benoit,
    Thanks for the post.
    Here is how we find the built-in driver file within Windows 7:
    1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows X64\Drivers\Version-3\{Printer Driver Name}, in the right panel, check the value of "InfPath". Now we will get the specific path of INF file.
    2. On a x32 Win2k3 server
    Click on Start, Control Panel
    Double click on Printers
    Press the ALT button
    or
    Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
    Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
    Click on the Drivers tab
    Click on Add...
    Click on Next
    Uncheck the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
    Check the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
    Click on Have Disk...
    Click on Browse... (to the x64 Win7 machine)
    \\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
    For example:
    \\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
    Click on Open
    Click on Ok
    Under "Printers"
    Select the print driver that you want to install
    Click on Next
    Click on Finish
    Now you should be able to see the x64 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
    Click on Close
    In this case, we need to pay attention to the match of INF file name. As the Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f 32-bit printer driver has been installed on Windows Server 2003, but you try to install HP LaserJet Family PCL5 64-bit printer driver. The two INF files
    will not be the same, which causes the x64 driver can be instaled as an additional driver. So we need to change the INF file name to match the 32-bit one. I cannot guarantee that the method can totally work on this case as it may involve some custom settings
    from printer manufacturer. If needed, I suggest you contact Konica Support when you go through it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installing a windows 7 (64 bit) printer driver to existing windows xp network

    Dear-Users......... i have connected 5 computers through a switch and ( hp laserjet 2014) printer is directly connected to one of them and shared on the network.  3 computers running on windows xp and one i added last time it was windows 7 (32 bit)
    it is working good as well. the problem now i am facing is this today i tried to add one more windows 7 (64 bit) pc to this network. now this computer  can't access the printer. i have installed the printer driver on the pc but its not finding he printer
    on network ......my pc is sharing other network resources the problem is not of connection its connected to the network just printer driver is making problem for me.........any suggestion....i tried to install this 64 bit printer diriver on the printer server
    computer as additional driver .....but it does not worksssss.......what should i do.......thxxxxx

    So this issue is that your newly Windows 7 doesn't detect the shared printer, are you able to add this printer manually? Type "Add a printer" in start button\search box, then in the Add printer Wizard, select
    Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer, Choose a network printer...
    And make sure the network is working correctly and the computer where the printer is plugged in is turned on.

  • Managing Color with LR and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver

    I would like help understanding how to manage color in LIghtroom with the Canon Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver. When I ask LR to manage color in the Printing Module Color Management Profile, it warns me to turn off the printer managing color. But I cannot find where to do this in the driver.
    The Color Options menu in the driver gives an additional choice for "Color Mode", but there are no choices here except "Standard", "Linear" or "Tone". The only Canon documentation I can find shows a choice to turn off printer management here, but this driver doesn't give me that choice.
    If I look in the driver's "Color Matching", I see only two choices: ColorSync or Vendor Matching. ColorSync brings up Canon profiles like "Pro9000 Fine Art Photo Rag", but selecting one of these gives a warning of unexpected results. This pushes me back to Vendor Matching. But is this turning off the printer driver and leaving it to Lightroom?
    Right now, I am getting the best results from choosing "Managed by Printer" in LR's Color Management Profile, and setting "Color Matching" in the Canon driver to "Vendor Matching". If I instead choose one of the Canon profiles in LR's Color Management Profile (and it tells me to turn off the printer managing, which I cannot do), then my prints have a slightly bluer color cast.
    Is there a way to turn off the printer managing color in this driver and turn this over to LR, or am I getting the best results possible with the printer managing color anyway?
    I am using a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4, 2 gigs SDRAM, standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card. I downloaded the Canon printer driver from their website, so I assume this is the latest. there is another driver available at their website, but for a lower bit depth. Should I abandon the 10.1.2.0 for this other one? I work with Nikon D300 NEFs, and I assumed the higher bit depth printer driver will work better with these images.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Dear DYP: Unfortunately, those choices are not available in the 10.1.2.0 Canon Printer driver. There are only 2 radio buttons, ColorSync and Vendor Matching. ColorSync then provides a drop-down menu, with no choice for turning off the printer driver.
    But I think I found the answer. I found a deeply buried FAQ on the Canon site (no direct URL; sorry!) Here it says:
    "Issue: How do I disable the printer driver color correction when using the CUPS driver in Mac OS X 10.5.x?
    Solution: Change color management options for printing (Mac OS X 10.5.x)
    Change color management options for printing
    Open the document you wish to print.
    Click 'File' and then click 'Print.'
    Note: If the Print window contains only two pop-up menus, click the triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu for expanded options.
    Select 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu.
    Select 'ColorSync' if you want the application you are using, and not the printer driver, to control the color management of the printed output.
    Note: If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 and have selected 'Let Photoshop Determine Colors', the 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu is automatically set to 'ColorSync.'
    Select 'Vendor Matching' if you want the printer driver to control the color management of the printed output."
    I tried it, and chose "Automatic" as a choice in ColorSync. The choices under "Color Options" are then greyed out, implying that the Canon driver is now turned off.
    The prints came out great, with no color cast, and a little brighter than the printer managed prints.
    So, Vendor Managed means printer manages, ColorSync means LR manages.
    Thanks, everyone, for keeping me going on tracking this down!

    Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
    The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
    If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
    see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
    Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
    If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
    printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

    I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

  • Dissociate default printer driver from the report viewer

    Hello,
    I have a problem in reports visualization. I set the report paper size via the code:
    _printOptions.PaperSize = CrPaperSizeEnum.crPaperSizePaperCsheet;
    The problem is when i visualize it it's truncated to the printer default paper size. How could i resolve this. I tried the DissociatePrinter option and it didn't help.
    I'm working with .NET RAS SDK and C#.

    What version of CR?
    What version of .NET?
    WEB or Win app?
    See KB 1386475 and 1490938 (use the search box in the top right corner)
    Also note that the paper size enum may be (most likely will be) different for each printer driver. Thus retrieving the paper size enum and setting that to printOptions.PaperSize may be something worth trying.
    Searching for 'printoutputcontroler' may also get you additional resources.

  • Why is the Printer drive not a printer driver

    do the people at hp understand what a printer drivers is ?
    at my company we can install new printer if they use a "STANDER WINDOWS DRIVER"
    we can not execute an *.exe file  we have to call tech support to get this done and open a ticket.
    your making a lot more work for me for no good reason
    and just for the fun of it my firewall keeps blocking a port that your trying to use to go out to the web ... WHY does my printer need to talk to the web ?  auto updates are turned off so whats it doing ???
    why does a printer driver want my zip code?
    No HKCU:Run HP Officejet Pro 8610 (NET) Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8610\Bin\ScanToPCActivationApp.exe" -deviceID "CN4CPEW2Q8:NW" -scfn "HP Officejet Pro 8610 (NET)" -AutoStart 1
    why do you need a startup program to just print?
    none of the other printers require an entery in this table

    Hi Ray,
    On current situation, please refer to the following KB and check if set
    Point and Print Restrictions policy to Disabled. Then monitor the result.
    Event ID's commonly associated with point and print
    restrictions
    In addition, I noticed that there was a thread which you created one year ago. It seems to be similar with
    current issue. However, please have a look.
    Windows
    2008 Server
    If I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Print driver host for 32bit applications - Stopped working

    Hey everyone, when I print to the Adobe PDF Converter print driver it will become unresponsive.  It might work for 4 or 5 print jobs and the crash.  This happens when printing from Illustrator CS5.5, IE9 and Visio 2010.
    What normally happens is I will choose "print" then select "Adobe PDF" as the printer, the print progress bar comes up but not the explorer window where I choose to save the PDF.  The Illustrator/IE/Visio crashes.
    The only way to be able to print again is to logout and log back in to the machine.  I've read some others re-starting the splwow64.exe but I haven't tried that.
    I'm running a Windows7 Pro, 64-bit, SP1.  Adobe Design Premium CS5.5, Acrobat X Pro.  Everything is updated to the latest version.
    Any ideas?  Adobe?
