Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
inOS:
An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
Windows Update:
There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
* Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.

Windows 7 64bit driver support for GX623

Hi, i have GX623 laptop (CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo P8400; RAM: 4GB ), i am interested why there is no Windows 7 64bit driver support for this model ? I really would like to run some 64bit software on it.
If my laptop hardware support it why MSI don't release drivers so my software can also support it. In some 32bit drivers there are some 64bit drivers but still not all for complete functionality.
On some older posts from 2009 I see responses that windows 7 64bit is very new so that's the reason for no driver support but in 2011 surely that is not the case.
Can we expect 64bit drivers for Windows 7 in near future or support for 64bit software isn't planed for this model?

So is it officially GX623 supported for Windows 64bit install because I still don't see any drivers for Windows 7 64bit or maybe Windows 7 64bit don't need any drivers?
Hello anybody here? Anybody working here?

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT. All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will. Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working. There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface.
Note: All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers. These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers. These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers. If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below). If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface. This just makes anything you have to type easier to type. You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
Touch Devices and Printers.
Touch Add a Printer.
Touch “My printer is not listed”.
Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next. Note: You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it. The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.
For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install. If it does skip to step 14 below.
Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
Touch Search.
Under the Search box, touch Settings.
In the Search box, type Device Manager.
Touch Device Manager.
Touch View and select Show Hidden.
Search for the printer in the Device Manager. It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
Select the printer from the list.
Touch Action.
Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver. Choose to install the driver yourself.
Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list. If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver. (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
Touch Next.
Touch Finish.
Test printing.

I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions?

I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer - that still prints exceptionally well - that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions? While using Windows XP Pro, I used PC MacLan's version 9.01 and it worked beautifully. PC Maclan is no longer in business. Windows 7, however, doesn't even recognize any Apple printers in any of its lookups. Suggestions?

The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is a PostScript Level 2 and PCL5 printer with support for LPD (http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21876). How is the printer connected today? An external cable adapter (such as the Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver Model M0437) would allow Ethernet. Providing that an appropriate printer driver can be found (it may be worth checking whether a universal driver or a driver for a similar HP printer could be used), it should not be impossible to set up LPR printing under Windows 7.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

Cannot install driver software for N8-00, Windows ...

I'm having a lot of trouble getting any Nokia software to work on my PC.
(This was the same for my previous Nokia 2730.)
The first time I connected my N8-00 to my PC, running Windows Vista 32, my PC worked out it was an N8-00 and a window appeared asking me to confirm AutoPlay settings - there was a checkbox (which I checked), but no OK button.
I could go to Start > Computer and see the N8-00 there though.
I opened the device and found the Ovi Suite Installer and tried to run that (because the downloaded version didn't work either - I'll start another thread about my troubles with Ovi Suite) but it didn't work.
I then removed the phone from my PC.
Now whenever I connect my phone to my PC Windows tries to install the N8-00 drivers and fails, giving me these messages:
"Found New Hardware - Nokia N8-00"
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
Nokia N8-00 USB Phone Parent
No such interface supported
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Obviously not being able to connect my phone to my PC is very frustrating and restricts many of the features I wish to use.
Help in solving this issue would be very greatly appreciated.

Could someone of you resolve the problem about the connection of N8-00 to PC??
I have the same problem and I can't resolve it.
Best regards!!

LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620?

Hi All,
I am using PXI-8106 to run heavy-duty communication and one chasis holds the CEI-620 card (third party ARINC429 card from GE, formerly Condor Engineering). Currently on the PXI controller only runs LabVIEW RT (Pharlap) since I did not want to install Windows OS to slow the performance. Now here it is the problem, GE does not provide LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620 (they do have LabVIEW RT support for CEI-830 though, but that card is PMC interface). Basically right now MAX can not recognize the CEI-620 card on the host side, and I can not deploy my ARINC429 application VI to the target PXI controller. I am wondering anybody here has encountered the same problem and develop the LabVIEW RT driver for CEI-620 on his own?
Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't have much more information to offer. I would suggest checking to make sure you have all the correct device information whe you create the ini file. I think you should still be able to develop a driver for a poll based device. It should be easier to generate an ini file if you do not require interrupt information. Make sure you have the correct identification information and try using the VISA Driver Development Wizard again.

Print driver host for 32 bit applications has stopped working

How to clean from print driver hp B209a-M on windows 8

How do I clean my print heads from the print driver hp B209a-M on windows 8

Hi rcstipe,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you have a Photosmart B209a and are wanting to know how to clean the printhead via the software on Windows 8. I will definitely do my best to assist you with this.
There is full feature software for your printer for Windows 8, so as you would have with the few previous versions of Windows, it's done through the HP Solution Center. If you don't have the HP software installed yet, please download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard to get the software installed.
If you're not sure where to locate the clean printhead function once the software is installed, please have a look at Step four: Clean the printhead under Solution six: Print and evaluate a print quality diagnostic report and troubleshoot defects in this Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems document to see where to locate it.
Hope to hear back from you soon!

Software Update printer driver update for HP causes an extra page to print that just has "2345X" printed on it.

A few days ago, Software Update showed a printer driver update for HP so I installed it. Now, after everything that I print, I get an extra page that just has "2345X" printed on it. I tried reinstalling the driver update but still get the extra page. Anyone know how to get stop this extra pgae from printing?

Hello charliemun,
What I suggest is to reset the print system, click the link below to proceed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Once you have reset the print system please make sure you are selecting the HP Driver and not the Airprint driver (see picture below)
Please let me know if this has resolved the error of the extra page with the numbers on it, or if you require more assistance.
Thanks,

Collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0

Hi,
collection query for computers with windows management framework 3.0, but I cant found a way. I cant see that it is in the inventory data for SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName.
So any way to get computers with windows management framework 3.0?
/SaiTech

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct on SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareProduct.ProductName like "Windows Management Framework 3.0%"
That won't work because as mentioned, it doesn't appear in ARP.
Torsten's suggestion will work or you can resort to software/hardware inventory using the info at

Are there any sound cards with best driver support for Arch?

I was wondering if there are any sound cards that have the best driver support for ArchLinux? I currently own a Creative Labs X-FI Platinum Edition. The main reason I like the Platinum is that has an interface you can plug MIDI and Audio ports into. It seems to me, however, that Creative is the worst company to support Linux drivers. If anyone has any opinions, please feel free to comment. According to all my research, ALSA sound drivers are the most supportive for sound. Am I also correct in this assumption?

yeah, creative sucks. go with m-audio. they support linux unlike creative.

JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity

Hello JDev Team,
I am trying to implement JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity.
It works fine with java.sql.Connection and java.util.Properties like in the following code:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
int level = AnoServices.REQUIRED;
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( RC4_40 )");
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client",Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main", props);
etc...
But I am developing an application with InfoSwing components and it has a different way to connect to Oracle database using oracle.dacf.dataset.connections.Connection, like this:
sessionInfo1.setAppModuleInfo(new ModuleInfo("bc", "BcModule"));
sessionInfo1.setConnectionInfo(new LocalConnection("JDBCThin"));
sessionInfo1.publishSession();
My question is:
Is there any way to implement DataEncryption and Integrity into this type of connection?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Victor Bykov

Victor,
No, you can't do this from DAC, but I've been discussing it with the developer, and we both think this capability would be useful to have, so I've logged it as an enhancement request.
I do have a question for you. Once you've made the JDBC connection, do you need access to the Connection object afterwards? We're thinking of how the change could be implemented, and one way would be to allow you to pass in a Properties object when creating your own NamedConnection.
Thanks
Blaise
