Printer Driver disappearing every time Hyper-V VM is restarted

Printer is a local network printer. The driver has to be added to the VM every time I restart it. It is not persisting through the restart. I have software running on this VM that requires this printer to print reports and packing slips.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

Hi，
Have you tried to manually look for the right version printer driver from the printer manufacture website instead using the automatically installation? There's might be some compatibility issue about the driver, as Cyber mentioned, you can report this issue
via Windows Feedback (click the search button on the left bottom corner in Windows Technical Preview, then type "Windows Feedback").

The new firefox twitter app is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

On my PC, in I-Tunes, my iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Mac OS X 10.7 drivers for HP LaserJet 1300: installation at the "Add Printer" process ended, every time, with message "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable..."! PLEASE HELP?

APPLE [see Apple Support's Article HT 3669] says Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) has drivers for this Printer.
But, every time I've tried installing it to my Mac Book Pro (which came with OS X 10.7), it does recognize that the Printer (connected via USB cable) is HP LaserJet 1300 -- in fact, right below, this statement appears: "The drivers for this Printer are available...". But, when it comes to the actual process of downloading, the "Add Printer" window -- after 20+ minutes of its "searching" for the drivers -- always ends with the message: "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable... contact the manufacturer."!!! (Can you imagine? Apple says it's available... but its own "Add Printer" process says it's UNavailable!)
I went to HP's support site, and it, too, says that drivers for this Printer are available! -- see the 2 links:

Can somebody help me? Would very much appreciate it.

Bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. Have tried all recommendations.

I have been running Chrome from several versions back when Firefox became very slow. I am now trying to switch back to Firefox. I have 27.0.1. My bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. I have tried all recommendations I can find including reset and renaming, etc, but nothing has cured the problem. Restore to default used to work for the current session, but now that does not work. I am about to give up and stick with Chrome as this bookmark toolbar issue is driving me nuts. I am about to try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. And that will be my last resort unless I get a solution to this problem. I have been a Firefox user from the very beginning up till 16 or 17 and like Firefox, but this seems to be a common occurrence from my research. BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR IS A MUST HAVE!

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I cannot print any websites; every time I press "print" it goes to "save the file as [xps]" instead. What's up?

Bless you, bless you, bless you. After months of living with this annoying problem and not being able to print out emails or websites it is, in a stroke, totally solved. Thank you! It works. It's a wonder and you're a winner!

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

How do I stop my toolbar buttons disappearing every time I restart Firefox?

My toolbar buttons disappear every time I restart Firefox 4.0.1. They used to disappear only every week or so. Then I tried the recommended fix at "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox" dealing with file places.sqlite. Now they disappear every time I start, which is several times a day due to RAM usage sometimes approaching 1GB after a few hours. I am on Win 7 and have customized with tabs on bottom and to display the menu bar and put my buttons at top to save space. This is driving me insane. I have to re-customize the toolbars every time I open the browser. I did not have this problem with Ff 3.6. I have tried the safe mode and checked add-ons 1 at a time. Nothing changes except now it's every time instead of every week or so. I cannot switch to Chrome full time because they don't have all the add-ons I need for work. Please help.

If you lose the toolbar customization then you do not have a problem with places.sqlite, but with the file localstore.rdf in the [[Profiles|Profile folder]].

How can I set up a preferred printer so I don't have to pick the printer each and every time I print something out? At the moment, even immediately after printing one thing, it prompts me to pick a printer, which is very time consuming.

No, there is not setting for a default printer.The system scans for available airprint printers each time you print.

3G signal disappears every time while making phone calls

Hi all,
After my iPhone was updated to 4.2.1, the 3G signal disappears every time while I make phone calls, but if it is hooked up with WiFi then it would be fine. Does the same problem happen to anyone of you? Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

I have had similar problems. I-Phone worked beautifully for about 3 weeks the I started getting static on my end. I did some research and narrowed down the fact that the static was only heard on my end. It started just sporadically but is now about 85% of the time when Imake calls. It happens in multiple locations and cities. The caller on the other end never hears it. There is no problem with speaker phone or playing music etc...It happens when calling hard lines as well as wireless (ie...verified calls to Sprint, Verizon, Nextel wireless callers as well as Government Land Lines, Verizon home phone and Comcast Ip Phone callers) Stopped in to AT&T and they looked at me funny and suggested I ask Apple to replace the phone.

HT3728 every time my iMac sleeps or restarts it loses the connection to airport express and i must reset and connect with router via ethernet cable.

Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

External hard drive ejects every time I turn my printer on

I have a new 2x2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro that has 4 external hard drives attached. I have an Epson Stylus Pro 9800 large format printer that I only turn on when I use it. Here is the issue: every time I turn on that Epson printer one- just one (my Seagate FreeAgent) hard drive unceremoniously ejects itself with the accompanying error message about not unplugging the hard drive before you eject it or else you may lose data. Like I said I have 4 (sometimes 5) external hard drives connected to this computer and have no trouble with any of the other drives. In fact one of the other drives is also a Seagate FreeAgent drive and even it never does this. Any thoughts? Should I fear this hard drive crashing?

Hi ravenwoodman;
With the information provide there is no way to give any kind of answer to your question.
You are going to have to provide us with the data on how everything is connected together, including type of bus and any hubs.

How can I control automatic print head cleaning every time my Officejet Pro 8500A Premium starts up?

In general we really like our new Officejet, but we're very frustrated by the automated start up procedure. Every time we turn it on it does a self check and then cleans the print heads. It's bothersome for two reasons: 1) We want to print quickly, not wait for 5 minutes. 2) We're worried that all this cleaning is using up our valuable ink.
We recently had to replace all the color print cartridges, and I think one cause for the other's depletion was all this cleaning.
We're using HP cartridges.
It's possible that this printer is intended for an office environment where it just stays on 24x7. For our occasional use, we normally turn it on when we need it and turn it off when we're done. If the power consumption is low enough (less than 5 watts) I'd consider leaving it on as a possible work-around.
I did my best to search FAQ and postings to see whether there was already an answer to this issue - but couldn't find one.
This question was solved.

Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on

Hello everybody,
the printer HP Officejet Pro all-in-one 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) cleans printheads every time I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it isn't a problem only of that one I purchased. It is an annoying and irritating bug because the printheads cleaning at each power on implies two bad disadvantages:
ink waste (each printheads cleaning process consumes some ink);
too much time (2-3 minutes) to get the printer ready after power on.
I upgraded my printer with the last firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR) but the bug is still present.
At this point I ask:
there exists a way (or procedure) to disable this unnecessary automatic cleaning at every power on?
Can someone contact HP engineers or tell me how contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and ask a new firmware update?
Please don't tell me to leave the printer turned on all the time or that the printheads cleaning at every power on is a normal behavior! Where is then power and ink saving claimed for this printer model?
I hope to receive a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance to everybody will help me!
This question was solved.

The servicing when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads healthy (not clogged). See here for information.
As for power savings, the printer will automatically go into a low power mode when not printing for some time. It is not necessary to turn the product off and on to save power.

Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on

I own two of these printers and they both have been cleaning printheads every time it's turned on. My old HP officejet never had these problems.
The real problem is HP s credibility . They promoted that these printers used half the ink as any other printer. Even consumerreports showed 1/2 the cost per page.
As we all know that is pure BS notwithstanding the cleaning printheads issues.
Maybe I will let Costco know that I and all owners are unhappy and see if they will refund. They still sell them .
I will repost if I have any success.

If the printer is a year or couple yrs old, maybe the printheads need to be replaced? I once thought they would last forever, and that's really not the case with them, nor anything else really. Hope costco has some good news for you
