Printer driver and USB problems

Hello,
I have the Photosmart C4780 printer and scanner, and have been running into issues. My computer (vaio duo 13) runs Windows 8.1 64-bit.
When I connect it by USB, a message pops up saying that Windows does not recognize the device, and that it has malfunctioned. I thought it might be a driver problem, so I downloaded the PS_AIO_06_C4700_140_408 file. After clicking it, it would start extracting, but would exit as soon as it hits 100%. I waite for at least ten minutes, and no further windows came up to continue installation. I did this a couple times, all with the same result. The simple driver does not work either, and the Print and Scan doctor just tells me to download the file I mentioned above. I also attempted to reinstall, but there were no files that I could find for the printer.
I am at a loss for what could be the problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have exact same problem with Lenovo Yoga 11s.
Driving me insane, and printer will soon be dispached through my window.

What should I do?

The first thing you should do is re-write your post to make it a bit more understandable. I got you have an Epson printer connected to your PC, however after that your post doesn't make any sense. Are you attempting to print from your iMac, if so then you need to download and install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. Then set Windows so it has printer sharing turned on and then on the iMac simply follow Apple's instructions for adding a printer.

Keep losing my print driver and printer quits working

Have no idea what's going on. Recently, I can't keep my printer workng. It worked fine since I got it approx 1 year ago. It's a Canon Imageclass D400 Series combined printer, copier, fax and scanner.
Now after I reboot both sometimes it will work, but only one time. The next time it won't work again. Sometimes, I reboot both and it still won't recognize the printer. I'm dumbfounded as to what's going on. I put in the CD to reinstall the driver but it says that I can't reinstall it because it's already installed. In System Prefs I go to print and try the utility but it doesn't recognize it. I can't figure out how to delete the previous driver and do a reinstall, can anyone tell me how to delete the old one? Or, if anyone knows what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help...it's driving (no pun intended) me crazy.
Thanks,
Jim

Just found this, you might want to try it. It worked for me.

Lenovo C255 - USB Drive and USB HDD is not recognized

Hi
I am trying to attach SSD (Kingston SSDnow 300 - 60gb) drive to PC via bridge SATA-USB to USB 3 port, so i have "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge" stuff at installed devices and no HDD disks appeared at MyComputer . Still i have 2 disks at Device manager - my native HDD and this USB Drive.
The problem is that BIOS doesn't see any USB HDD. Excluded from the bootable device : USB HDD USB CDROM.
So how i can solve this issue ?

Hi
I will try to help you buddy.
> When it is started is says "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready
This message appeared on my notebook after the HDD has died.
I had to replace the HDD and to install the OS again.
I assume its the same problem with your notebook. The HDD is not present or not recognized and you have to install a compatible HDD to get the OS running.
I have googled a little bit and found out that this notebook was delivered with the 10GB Toshiba MK1016GAP HDD. It supports the ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5 interface.
Please note that many BIOS have an HDD size limitation. This means that not all HDD sizes are supported! I presume a 20GB should be compatible but this is only my own opinion
> How can I change my BIOS so that the HDD is recognized?
The BIOS cannot be changed apart from the update (check Toshiba driver page -> Archive -> Satellite Archive).
But vary important is that you will use a compatible HDD.
> Can anybody help me with the recovery CD?
Dont know if you will be able to order this CD from the authorized service provider in your country because the notebook is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
What you could is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD and then could install some necessary drivers.

Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 printer driver on Leopard problems

Hello All,
I upgraded to Leopard and lost my printer drivers for both of my printers. I have been able to restore my HP7410 wireless via my airport at home. However, my office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub 250K also working through an airport extreme. My problem is that I have tried to download the driver for the Bizhub with the disc that came with the unit. After I go through the download process it says I've downloaded successfully but can not find it on my hard drive, even with MAC's support. I have searched the Konica Minolta support site only to find older versions of the driver. I finally got the (KONICAMINOLTA350105.pkg) to show up on my hard drive but when I open it it only takes me back through installing the (KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 Printer Driver Installer for Mac OS X (10.5)) process again without installing a driver.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG

Hello DG,
Mac OS X printer installers typically copy files to ./Library/Printers/vendor_name. If the driver is simply a PPD, then it will be copied to ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ (note the leading period refers to your hard drive)
I downloaded the driver installer for 10.5 that you mentioned. It creates the folder KONICAMINOLTA under ./Library/Printers/ and has two subfilters, PDEs and filter. I then selected to add an IP printer with a dummy IP address and then searched for the 250 via the Print Using menu, by typing C250. The KONICA MINOLTA C250 PS(P) was then displayed, which I selected to Add.
Now, the issue for you will be how do you connect to this printer via Airport. If the printer is connected via the Ethernet port of the AEBS, then you should be able to add via IP and select either LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is aka Port 9100 RAW). After entering these details you can then browse for the C250.
Hope this helps,
PaHu

Floppy and USB problem Km4v

Here is my spec before I start!
MSi KM4V motherboard
QTEC 550W PSU +3.3v=30A +5V=40A +12V=20A
Duron 1.6Ghz CPU
256Mb PC2700 DDR
DVD Rom drive
Floppy
40Gb Western Digital HD
Windows XP Home edition
Coolermaster Dream heatsink and fan
2 80mm Case fans
I have two of these systems set up identically. My problem lies in that one system is not working correctly. The problomatic system does not show the floppy drive or USB controllers. I have tried searching through XP, to no avail. The floppy disk controller is present but no floppy drive. No USB is shown at all. I have checked wiring and it is identical to the fully functioning system. For the floppy I have tried two different drives and three cable each with no luck. Uninstalling the FDC makes no difference. If I put the floppy cable in upside down(done by accident!) the light stays on it, so its seems to power up, but not be recognised.
Any help is appreciated as one of my kids will be gutted if they don't get a working crimbo present.
Thanks

Hi kerplunkuk,
Try:
1. run: sfc /scannow from command line or dos prompt (keep the Windows CD ready);
2. Download "Advisor" from www.belarc.com and check if XP and all updates are installed correctly; re-install what is necessary.
Hope this helps!

[VIA Series] memory and usb problems

Hello...... I have the MSI PM8M-V motherboard, intel celeron 2.93 ghz processor and 256 meg kingston ram. I am upgrading about 50 pcs with this setup. On some, the system will not see any of the USB ports and on almost all of them, the system reports that I have 192 meg of ram instead of the 256. Is this a normal thing with the memory and has anyone else had the problem with the USB ports. Thanks

Quote from: Maesus on 20-December-05, 15:37:44
part of the RAM is taken by the video. That's why you only see 192MB instead of 256MB (64MB is taken by Video).
USB ports? make sure you enable them in the BIOS.
Make sure you have the Chipset Driver updated for the USB problem.
You might also check how you have the Front panel USB’s hooked up to the header on the Mobo. Make sure it is correct.

Hard drive and Lion problems

Since trying to do the Lion update on Weds my iMac has been playing up, basically when i going into disk utility and run "verify disk" i get error messages telling me to insert my OS X install cd so that i can repair the hard drive, i do this and when i try to repair the hard drive it tells me it cannot do it and that i need to wipe the hard drive and re install OS X form the cd. Ive done that twice since Weds and both times after ive installed the OS and then run disk verify it comes up telling me the same massages as before. The iMac was bought in March, ive looked after it so i cant see how there are problems. Its still under 1 year guarantee so do i take it back and get a replacement? Also when installer lion it tells me it something to do with 'no recovery' can anyone help me with this im fairly new to mac so keep it easy for me

Did you upgrade to Lion? If so, repair your internal HD from the Recovery HD. See Using the Recovery HD. (but you may not have one, because of the other message.)
If you're still on Snow Leopard, and Disk Utility can't repair the file system, it's possible a 3rd-party Disk Repair app like DiskWarrior, can. It's about $100, though, and there's no guarantee.
Another option, if you have backups (you should, you know): erase the drive and restore them.
The "no recovery" problem is likely because of the problem on your internal HD. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649?viewlocale=en_US

External Hard Drive and USB Hubs

I need some help. I have a 320GB External Hard Drive which uses 2 USB Ports. I also have an external keyboard and mouse, using USB. I first purchased a 'passive' USB hub and the Mac was unable to recognize the External Hard Drive. So, I purchased a USB Hub powered by AC. The External Hard Drive lights up, but the Computer does not recognize it. Is there a recommended USB Hub that will allow the external hard drive to make the hand shake with my MacBook ?

Check with the drive manufacturer to determine if there is an alternative power source for the drive. I've never liked self powered drives and that so many made today require two USB ports is just one of the reasons why.

Printing to a PDF file directly Using Adobe's Printer driver and NO GUI

We are on Oracle 10G running Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
I would like to be able to run Oracle Reports directly to a PDF file using Adobe's pdf driver and not oracle's pdf driver (not happy with it). (This can be done easily enough) using Adobe's PDF Converter as the Printer.
My additional requirement is to provide the output filename to the Adobe's pdf driver and have the report be executed without any user intervention. How do I do this?
Thanks

Not following asking for more????
I just want to create pdf files with Oracle Reports (not using the Oracle PDF driver) but using one I have and the I will process these PDF files using my own utilities.

Print servers and printers problems on Win7 and Win8

Hello,
We have some computers, working on Windows operating system in the office: a few forking on the good old XP sp3, one running on the Win7 x64 home edition and one running on Win8 professional (the last one installed for new OS testing purposes)
During last two months I have tested a few print servers attempting to find one which can work with Windows 7: Trendnet, Synology, and D-link print servers. However, unsuccessfully. Here is the result:
   1) Any print servers is working perfectly with WinXP sp3 (full printing and MFP function support, easy configuration and access, successfully scanning and printing operations in 100% cases)
   2) No one print server is working correctly with Win7 home x64 (mostly successful installation but complicated and unclear configuration; printed pages often is missing, no scan support for MFP.
   3) There is a little bit better situation with Win8: 100% printing support on the same equipment but no scan support for MFP
Could you please help me with followings:
1) Could you please help me configure print servers and printers on Win7 x64, including printing and scanning support?
2) Could you please help me configure scanning support for Win8?
Please find full list of affected hardware bellow:
1) Machines, running on Win XP: Panasonic CF-29, CF-74, HP Compaq dc7600, some Acer laptops;
2) Machine, running on Win7 x64 home: Asus UX21, (OS probably was preinstalled on the factory)
3) Machine, running on Win8 pro: Lenovo X200 tablet
4) Printer HP LJ1020 with drivers for XP and Win7, x86 and x64
5) MFP printer Canon MP600 with drivers for XP and Win7, x86 and x64
6) Print server: D-link DPR-2000
7) Router: Cisco RV042G
All the machines has correct drivers installed, all the printers supports all the services if connected to computer directly. I have made all possible steps solving mentioned problems, including automated problem solving wizards on Win7.
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi,
Regarding the printer configure issue, I would like to share the following article:
Managing Printers and Print Servers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754769.aspx
According to the scanning support for Win8, it is better to post this issue in Windows 8 forum for more help.
