Printer install

I bought a new laptop computer with windows 8. I can't get my printer to install. Do I have to buy a new printer? I had this printer installed on my old computer with windows xp. Can I update the driver and how do I do this?

Hi,
Well, we can't answer your question because we don't know your printer. Please use the following instructions:

Office 2010 - "Word cannot print, there is no printer installed"

Hi All,
Been having a problem recently on many PC's at a site where they run Windows 7 x64 with Office 2010 x86.
Printing usually happens with no issue, however sometimes when they click the print icon, (in the 'file-->print' section) it will display 'word cannot print, there is no printer installed'.
The client tells me they can go to control panel and print a test page successfully, but word/excel will not print. In order to resolve the issue they close the program, reopen it and printing works straight away. Today I asked them to restart the print
spooler, instead of closing/reopening word, this did not resolve the issue. closing and reopening did fix the issue.
So far they have experienced the issue with Word and Excel only, however they don't use the other programs a great deal.
The printers are distributed with group policy. In addition to network printers they use PDF Factory (which is like PDF Creator).
I have been unable to reproduce the issue.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
From your description , I understand that you got message ”word cannot print, there is no printer installed” when clicked the print icon.
If you do not have a default printer, use the Add Printer Wizard to install one.
Follow these steps:
Click Start and then click Devices and Printers.
Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer, and then follow the instructions to install your default printer driver.
Note If your printer model is not listed in the Manufacturers and Printers lists, see the Hardware
Compatibility List (HCL) for an updated driver. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx
If your printer is not on the HCL, contact the printer manufacturer for drivers and instructions.
Sincerely,
Harry

Can I have the same printer installed multiple times under different names?

On WIndows I have the same printer installed multiple times
All using the same driver
I have a Canon printer that has a rear tray and a bottom tray
So, I will have one printer that prints to the rear and the other to the bottom
Other printers (the same one) will be set so that they print in high quality and in duplex for example
I'll name the printers 1.Canon 2.Canon 3.Canon etc
So, when I go to print, I just hit a number on the keyboard and the printer I want is selected
Can I do the same on my laptop?
Thanks
Omar

Back Up - that's in case things go wrong.
In the case you cite:
You have
Mother
Mother Maiden Name
as Faces, right?
In the Corkboard view click on Mother Maiden Name and delete the 'Maiden Name'.
It will disappear and all the photos will be in the Mother face.
Note that 'Mother' and 'Mother ' (that is, with a trailing space) are not the same.
You can also just edit the name 'Mother Maiden Name' to 'Mother'
As for photos staying in manual sort, I can only say that mine do. But as I've no idea what troubleshooting steps you've used.

Windows 7 64 bit machine with printer installed locally takes 2-3 minutes for printing most of the time and fails to print some time.

Our customer have 3-4 windows machines in local area network (No Domain Login) with different OS versions and platform architecture (32 / 64 bit)
I have no idea about the configuration of machine to which printer is hooked up but it is running Windows for sure.
This machine is accessible from any other machine in LAN. They have another machine running Windows 7 64 bit OS on which they have installed the printer connected to earlier machine using local printer driver installation
with local TCP/IP port being selected during installation. Installation goes well, printer gets installed successfully and shows ready state. but when we try to print anything on it takes 2-3 minutes to complete print job. They have tried
this on printers with couple of different model and make but the result is same delayed printing. They have also tried to install different printer drivers like HP printer model specific driver and HP universal driver too , but the result is
the same in all cases. earlier when they were using 32 bit XP machine with printer installed same way that they installed now for win 7 64 , there was no issue seen with regards delayed printing. is this a issue with windows 7 64
bit printing system ? or it has to do something with mixed and matched (32/64 bit )printer drivers running on different machines on LAN ?
I will try to get more information with regards to the machine to which printer is connected.In the mean please revert back to me if any one had face similar issue and able to resolve it successfully.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Have you tried ping ip address of printer? and check if there exists any data lost in network connection. If your network connection is crowded, it can cause delay for printer.
Also, please attempt to disable all security software temporarily, such as antivirus, firewalls,etc and
clear all printer cache.
Locate to task manager, check the state of spoolsv.exe, including cpu and memory. If it has high cpu or memory usage, it may be caused by malware. Thus, you'd better to make a full scan with the latest anti-virus.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

I had to replace both printheads about $85 a piece. It may be more cost effective to buy a new printer. Once I replaced the one printhead, the other one went out. It is common and it did solve the issue. I really like my printer and if it gets me another year or so, I think it was worth it.

MS Office vApp - no printer installed

Hi,
I successfully virtualized my MS Office 2003 App.
The only thing that's going wrong is, no printer is avaliable.
even if there are iprint Printers installed, the Office vApp tells, there is no default printer installed..
so the iprint Printers are not recognized by the vapp.
whats the matter?
Any Ideas.
Thanks in advance....

solved !!!
just delete all the regarding registry keys in the project that points to printers (also the Document imaging writer).
be sure to "merge" the parent keys.

Printing problem - no such printer installed

Dear sirs,
today I write to report another issue with printing. It sometimes happen, completely random, that after a print with a printer (no matter which printer) if I select another printer and press "Printer preferences" from your "amazing print dialog"(TM), an alert appear with the message "no such printer" or "no such printer installed" (I use a localized version of PS5 so I don't know the exact message in English, but I'm sure you can understand).
The solution is to shut down PS5, open it again, open the file again, open the print dialog again, select the printer again, select Printer Preferences again, and it finally works (ok, there is still the number of copies issue, so I have to do the whole process one more time to print correctly).
Please check this too.
Don't you have a tool to make debug file to allow you to check what is happening?

Windows 7 has a built in Problem Step Recorder. You can use that (if you have Windows 7).
Wait a second you wrote you have Photoshop 5 (PS5)? That is way old software. What Operating System are you trying to run that on?

PS CS4 wants a printer installed even though I can print some files.

I have PS CS4 on Windows 7. I can print some files but not all. On the ones that I can't print PS is telling me I need to install a printer 1st even though I can printer others. I have tried to rasterize and/or flatten the files and it still says the same thing. I have created a new preferences file, by renaming the old in my program files, and it still does the same thing. I have also printed the same photos in Microsoft Picture Viewer. So, the printer can see the file and print it. It's a Brother MFC 9460cdn. I've used the troubleshooting guide thus far and done all i thought or seemed pertinant - except.... As a newbie, I've not not figured out how to create a new file to copy the rasterized, or layers for that matter, to a new project. I can't seem to figure out size settings and duplicating. These are files that came with a business and for some reason only about half will print the other are stuck needing a printer installed...LOL
Please HELP
Thank you,

Hi timcasey-
I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:

Using Canon MF 4320 printer installed on Windows computer

Hi guys.
Is there any chance to use Canon MF 4320 printer installed on Windows computer? I am getting a Canon UFR II Printer Driver Error: -50.
Thanks for your help

I found it useful to install the software form the CD provided with the printer rather than downloading the drivers. The download options were confusing with different drivers for different functions and the scanner did not work from the System Preferences > Print & Scan menu until I installed the software from the CD.
You should then download the current Canon driver for your printer, if it is supported on Mac OS X.
If all else fails contact Canon.
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/Telephone_Numbers/telephone_num bers.aspx
You can also email them at
Canon Care Center <[email protected]>
asking where to find the driver and if your printer is compatible with Mac OS X (and which versions of same).
I did not find an MF4320 listed on the Canon support site.
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
or support for Mac OS X for any MF printer
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/mac-osx
So it may not be supported but it is worth an email to Canon to find out.

HP Printer Install Wizard Problem

I'm trying to download the latest drivers for the K209a all in one printer through the HP Printer Install wizard which is the only way given to download the drivers on the support page, But every time after completing the 140 mb download it throws me an error saying my download was cancelled and to retry later. Please help, I would like to have the direct link to the software so that I can download it manuall my self.

Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with downloading Windows 10 Software for your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage - K209a and I may be able to help.
I've read a few post that indicate that the Windows 8.1 driver should work on Windows 10. Here is the link to the downloads page, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage All-in-One Printer series - K209 Full Feature Software and Driver. From here you may have to click the Edit link in order to choose Windows 8.1. Here is the direct link to the download as well, just in case; HP Deskjet Ink Advantage K209 Full Feature Software and Driver. Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

HP LaserJet Professional P100 wireless printer Install

Hello,
I am trying to install this printer on a server (server 2008 x64) without much luck. It is currently installed on a clients machine by using the CD and printer cable. The printer is using a static IP as well. When trying to install the printer on the server, it appears to install fine by choosing the install local printer option, and then entering the IP under "local port". The driver I am using is found here (please note it's difficult to see which server version is which because the text is cut off).

Printer installed but not responding to print jobs

I'm not quite sure how to intelligently ask this question so let me describe what happened.
I have a friend who asked for help in troubleshooting a problem with his printer. His printer is a brand new HP Officejet 6600 sitting near his computer and is on his wifi network. He can not print to it wirelessly from his iMac running Lion, but his wife can print wirelessly to it from another room on her iMac. He can print using USB, though, but he prefers wireless because of the wiring situation in this room. Plus, he bought for wireless printing.
When I got there I checked his System Preferences:Print & Fax and confirmed that his printer was installed and had the green idle light showing ready for a print job. I tried to print and everything looked normal and showed that the job was sent to the printer and was 100% completed but the printer never responded. I tried it from his wife's computer and confirmed that she was able to print a page with no problem. I brought my MBP and joined his wifi network and added his printer and was also able to print.
So, I tried some basic troubleshooting steps trying to print after each one, and nothing worked. I deleted and re-installed his printer, repaired permissions, restarted in Safe Boot, tried printing in a second user account, Reset printing system..., deleted all com.apple.print... preferences, installed Onyx and ran the System Cleaning routines, powered down/up the router/computer/printer, reset the wifi on the printer and rejoined his network, and probably a few other things I can't remember right now.
After doing all of this and throwing up my hands I tried to print again from my MBP to prove that I still could, and this time was not able to print. It kept trying to send the job but the printer never responded. His wife's iMac was still able to print, however. This got me frustrated and I decided to ask this forum for help.
Oh, and here's some more information. His wife has a printer next to her computer, an HP Officejet something (I forget, not 6600, though). His iMac is able to print over wifi to this printer with no problem. What the...?
What other things can I try? Does this point to something in the printer such as a bad wifi card, or something? Any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated.
Thanks

LilyLC, hold on to your chair you will not believe what happened today. Bear with me while I give you all the details but you will want to read the entire story.
First, to answer your question in the first paragraph of that last post, his wife's printer is connected to his wifi and is using the driver installed by Apple and has been updated on the same date as his computer that I gave earlier. She can print to her printer and so can he. After the troubleshooting steps I have taken and took today I agree with your assessment about an intermittent issue with the printer, too, but let me tell you what I did today.
Before going to his house I decided to set up a second wifi LAN at his house using my router to check if his Airport Extreme (I incorrectly thought initially it was an Airport Express) router was the problem. The thinking being that I have checked his printer and computer and nothing I have tried is making a difference, so the only thing left is his router. So, I set up my router and joined his computer, printer, and my MBP, to the wifi and tried to print from both computers. The printer still was NOT working! That was a big disappointment since I just knew that was going to work. I guess that eliminates the router. I reconfigured his computer back to his wifi and proceeded to the next step.
I hadn't installed the drivers from the website you gave me earlier since I saw in Software Updates that he had updated to that same driver set already. Now I got to thinking that maybe those files were corrupted somehow so I downloaded the drivers from the website you gave me and installed. Deleted drivers from Print & Scan pane and installed the newly downloaded driver, tried to print, and that failed, too.
Next I tried your suggestion of using the LPD protocol instead of the HP JetDirect and that setup failed for some reason. I reconfigured using the HP JetDirect, and that worked for printing, as before, but the scan function was not available, as before.
I was getting a little pressed for time today and had time to try one more thing, so I decided to forgo the new Location setup until tomorrow and instead chose to plug his printer directly into the Airport Extreme via USB and see what happened. I deleted the IP driver and clicked the + to add the installed driver and was presented with an HP Officejet 6600 on the top line and lower down under "Nearby Printers" found an HP Officejet 6600 series [XXXXXX] and under that HP Officejet 6600 Fax.
I chose the first driver and installed and tried to print and was successful. However, the scan function was not available. So I deleted that driver and chose the second one. I noticed immediately that the scan function was available. Thinking I might have something I tried to print and was unsuccessful. Mmm...printing works with the first driver but not the second and scan works for the second but not the first. What's with THAT?
This was really getting frustrating by this time and after much discussion with him I told him I thought the printer was the device at fault. For some reason his printer just did not like his network. I tried printing to his wife's computer and that worked great. No problem there. But for some reason his printer did not like his network and refused to work by setting up manually.
I recommended that he bring the printer back and exchange it for another printer. He agreed and immediately boxed it up and left for the store. I returned home to more friendlier surroundings.
Here's where it gets interesting, and it helps to know that my friend is in his mid-eighties. About an hour later he calls and tells me he's sitting in the parking lot of Office Depot. He tells me that when he was in the store discussing with Customer Service about an exchange it dawned on him out of the blue that he DIDN'T NEED TWO PRINTERS!! He said that if he could print to his wife's computer today then he could print to it from now on. I was speechless!!! I told him I asked him at the beginning of all this why he had to have two printers, and at that time he said "trust me, we need two printers". Ok. He tells me he has no idea why he didn't realize that wifi worked differently than cable. He thinks that maybe since his older two printers were each connected to his and his wife's computer these newer computers operated the same way too. But he admits to me that he was the one who set the printers up on his wifi network, so why he didn't realize that only one printer was necessary with wifi he didn't know. He was embarrassed. He admitted to me that technology is very difficult for him to understand. No kidding!!!
I didn't need to remind him how much time had been spent on this problem because he was quick to apologize and was very sorry for taking up so much of my time, and he really appreciated the effort. I told him I didn't mind.
And I really didn't, because I learned so much from this experience by following your suggestions, LilyLC. I never knew how to set up a printer using its IP address, and the protocols to use, and I never knew how to add new Locations in the Network pane and why it might be useful. You also got me to considering other troubleshooting ideas I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. So maybe my friend and I aren't that different after all.
I really appreciate all the suggestions, links, and ideas you offered during this effort, LilyLC. I wish I could have determined the cause of the problem but, not knowing the inner workings of these devices, I can only assume that it had to have been the printer.
I bet I get a call from my friend a week from now saying that he just bought a second printer for his room because his knees can't take the walking from his room to his wife's room to get all of his printouts. All I can say is THAT printer better work.
Thanks again, LilyLC, for all your time and help. It was really appreciated!

New HP wireless printer install gives me Error Code 43

I just bought the HP wireless and networking capable all-in-one printer, the C309 series (no indication of exact model number anywhere on the machine, but the maybe it's the C334, since that's near the serial number on the back.
I connected it to my wireless network with no troubles. I inserted the install disc into my macbook pro, and got past the installation, to the setup step when I got the news:
"The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)."
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is here?
