Printer Problems since updateing to WIndows 8.1

Before I updated to Windows 8.1 the other month everything was fine on my new laptop then I went to scan something from my HP Photosmart B109n and it didn't work because the driver was now missing and the HP app that replace the HP printer manager is useless.
On the advice of the HP site I tried to download the new driver but it wouldn't go, it said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just restarts the computer but is still there afterwards. It turns out that the uninstall has gone missing from the current and the install is missing from the install program I have downloaded.
As a last resort I used the sytem restore but not only has the printer issues not changed but now some of the pre-loaded apps won't work and are asking for the Developers Licence to be renewed.
I am at a lost as to what to do next - please help!

Your notebook isn’t known to me but in case of Win 8.1 update you should check this Toshiba update to Win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/
There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your notebook and how to perform the step-by-step update to Windows 8.1
Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after the Win 8.1 update installation!
Regarding your printer issue:
Every printer manufacturer provides own drivers for the Windows system.
It’s not known to me if HP released compatible Win 8.1 drivers for the own Photosmart B109n printer but to be honest this issue isn’t related to the Toshiba notebook. If you have problems using HP printer in connection with Win 8.1, you should visit the printer manufacturer support page to get some workarounds and troubleshooting tips.

Problems since update from Windows 8 to 8.1

So the other day the Windows 8.0 side of my 27-inch, Late 2013 iMac with Fusion drive forced me up update to Windows 8.1 - it just started doing it automatically when I was on my lunchbreak. It seemed to update fine, and everything seemed to work once it booted up in 8.1. I noticed that the sound was no longer working on the Windows 8.1 side - it would only make the startup sound after a restart/turning on, and there was a red light coming out of the audio jack. Sound worked fine on the Mac side still. So, I updated the drivers here (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640) based on my computer model. During the instal of the drivers, it said "Need to repair drivers", and then went on to install without any problems that I could see.
This has now fixed the Sound driver issue, but now my keyboard is stuck in French mode (I think?) where when I type the "/?" character, it types "é" or "É". I cannot seem to fix this by going into Languages in Control Panel, or by re-installing the drivers.
What can I do? Are there any more details I can give to help someone problem solve this with me?

Hi,
For the issue, let us try rebuilding performance counters to check the result.
Press Win+x, and click Command Prompt(admin)
Type "CD c:\windows\system32",and Enter.
Type "LODCTR /R", and Enter.
Note: This let you rebuild the perf registry strings and info from scratch based on the current registry settings and backup INI files.
Keep post.

Printing problem since updating to 10.1.2

Running Adobe Reader 10.1.2 with Windows XP Professional and a Dell 924 All-In-One Printer -
When I print a PDF document, I get a series of light blue, evenly-spaced horizontal lines across graphics, diagrams & illustrations, but not text.
Previous to Uninstalling/Reinstalling Adobe Reader last night, lines were printing across text as well.
Additional Observation: If Printer Advanced settings has "Print as Image" checked, blue lines cover text as well; Unchecked, only graphics, diagrams & illustrations, but not text.
Anyone else having similar problem? Fix?

Hi,
Would it be possible for you to let me know the following details:
1. Have you tried to re-install the Printer Driver?
2. Have you tried printing from any other application. Do you see the same results?
3. Could you try and see if Solution 2 on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html helps (i.e. Turning Duplex Printing OFF.) It could be a case wherein your printer does not support Duplex Printing and that might be causing the issue.
Thanks

7280 Printer will not print images since updating to Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1
I am running IE
I have installed and reinstalled HP Printer Software and Drivers
Printer is 7280 All in One
Laptop is HP PAvillion
Page Set up includes Images and Background
Internet images still do not print
Any suggestings?

Hi jspoliz,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues when attempting to print from the Internet using Internet Explorer.
Are you able to print from any program on the computer?
Try using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome when printing from the web and see if that makes a difference.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Since updating my windows 7 to the latest version, my itouch notes are not synchronising - any suggestions?

Since updating my windows 7 to the latest version, my itouch notes are not synchronising properly. Will only update from Outlook to Itouch but not the other way round. Any suggestions?

That's the problem. You keep restoring corrupt software. Restore as NEW and don't use the backup at all. Set the phone up from scratch.

Twist s230u trackpad haywire since update to Windows 10

My trackpad and trackpoint worked fine under Windows 8.1, but since I updated to Windows 10 they have gone haywire. The cursor moves in the opposite direction from the movement on the trackpad or trackpoint. If I move my finger right on the trackpad, the cursor on the display moves left. If I move my finger up, the cursor moves down. Sometimes the cursor moves in the correct direction, but then it goes to the opposite direction after a single tap. I have tried two different driver versions for the Synaptics Thinkpad Ultranav driver for Windows 10 - 19.0.16.0 (driver date 7/9/2015), and 19.0.12.61 (this version is currently available for download on the Lenovo s230u driver download page). The 19.0.12.61 is the lower version number but it is listed as dated 7/30/2015. I have had the problem described above with both versions. I ran "Update Driver" from Device Manager and 19.0.16.0 was installed over 19.0.12.61. I tried deleting the Synaptics driver altogther, and rebooted - after i reinstalled a driver the problem came back. Has anybody else had this problem since upgrading to Windows 10? Has anybody found a fix?

I have had the same problem with my 12-inch 1.5GHz powerbook. However in my case it just started happening out of the blue -- the trackpad doesn't work at all, and occasionally I'll check again and it will work (otherwise, just using a USB mouse).
I was running OS X 10.4.5 when this occurred and I thought an upgrade to 10.4.6 would help, but it didn't. I am wary of upgrade to newest version of OS X because I have firewire peripherals that take time to update their drivers to work with Mac OS updates, but I will update to 10.4.7 if I absolutely have to.
I will try repairing permissions, but I doubt that will help. I've already reset the PMU (first time for me on this powerbook -- holding down 3 buttons and pressing and releasing power button -- there's no confirmation I can see that PMU was reset). Is there a way to tell PMU was successfully reset?
Thanks!

Can't connect to speakers via bluetooth since updating to Windows 8

Hello all. I have an HP Pavilion dm4 3050 laptop. I have spent a lot of time trying to fix my bluetooth problems since updating to 8, and now I need some help!
I go into add a device in a the CP and the machine finds the bluetooth speakers and I add them. I then right click them-> sound settings, then see my speakers below the default device speakers. They are listed as disconnected so I right click them and try to connect but they won't connect. I have updated the Intel bluetooth drivers but the speakers still won't connect. What can I do? Thank you.

BTW it would be nice if the driver update scanner actually worked on the HP website.

Printing problem since downloaded Windows 10

I own a Brother 7820 N (printer, fax, scan, copier). Ever since I downloaded Windows 8.1, I can no longer scan. Tonight, given that problem, I downloaded Windows 10. Now, I can't even successfully print, despite being given a PIN and purportedly setting up (successfully, according to some HP message) my computer with the printer. Please help.

Hi,

1. Have you tried to re-install the Printer Driver?

Color Printing Problems after update dec28/07

Last night I installed the latest updates for PS CS3 on 2 machines and both machines have the exact same color issues while printing with two different Canon printers.
The Problem:
Since this last update all images I try in print from 16bit ProPhoto or AdobeRGB 16bit, converted from Canon RAW through ACR look sepia tone, there is virtually no color (images still look as they did before on my monitor). In order to get the color to print I must convert image profiles to 8 or 16 Bit sRGB. I have not changed any settings after the update and confirmed that the update made no changes to the printers set up. sRGB 8bit jpeg images print color as seen on the monitor.
BOTTOM LINE: I can no longer print ProPhoto or AdobeRGB color space on my 8 color Canon Printer

Thanks Jeff
Both computers are PCs, one on XP, one on Vista, and printers are Canon i9900 and Canon ip4000 both are printing exactly the same way. Swoped printers between PCs with same outcome. Only changes made to both PCs was the CS3 update.
Jeff, I thought the problem may stem from the ACR RAW conversion as regular sRGB jpegs print the color as seen on my monitor. I have also submitted this question to the general PS forum...
Thanks again for taking the time to reply..

Printing Problems since upgrading to 10.5.6

We are having problems printing since updating to 10.5.6
1. We have a HP5000 black & white printer and when we print to it straight from InDesign CS3 it will enlarge the the job. We have to make a pdf then print from Acrobat. (We are connected by Appletalk)
2. We have a Xerox 6060 Color machine and we cannot print to it either. IT doesn't enlarge it but it just errors out.
I found a way to go around these problems which was to connect by "Bonjour" to a computer that has not been updated yet. Then we can print correctly but at sometime we will have to update that computer then we won't be able to print.
Has anyone else had these problems and/or has anyone found a solution????
Thanks for the help!

Problem since updating to 9.3 on W7 64bt

I accepted the auto update for Acrobat Pro 9.3. No apparent problems with installation and when first used to view some PDFs I had no problems. Later in the session when I reopened the program it tries to reload all the previously viewed PDF, then Windows detects a fault and closes the program down with message “Adobe Acrobat 9.3 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”.
I’ve tried reapplying the update and rebooted the system a couple of times, but the problem persists.
Anyone else seeing this ?
Is there a way of starting Acrobat and deleting it’s preferences ?
Thanks in advance
Running Windows 7 64bit, no problems with lack of memory or disk space.

Following up to this;
I seem to have fixed the problem, through some guess work and experimentation.
I tried holding down the shift key when launching Acrobat Pro, hoping like some other Adobe programs it would launch without using it's standard preferences. That seemed to work and not every previous PDF loaded and eventually it stopped loading older PDFs and allowed me to access it's menus. I reset various options in preferences to their defaults and cleared the document history and have had no problems since then.
Hopefully this might help anyone else with similar problems.

Printing Problems since 10.4.0

My problems with printing have not improved from 10.4.0-10.4.3. I still have problems with epson printer utility. On any machine with tiger, it will just crash on launch.
I've tried re-installing the drivers, then I figured 10.4.3 would have fixed it since their were around 600 bug fixes (including printing). But, nope, still not working. I then tried going to the printer preferences and remove the printer and then re-add it to then find out the printer would not work at all. So just to get printing back I had to install gimp-print drivers so that i could at least print again. I am very frustrated with this problem. No Epson printers that I have dealt with work right with tiger. I love tiger but hate the printer problems.
My machine is very clean, I do regular maintenance. Does anyone have any advice, or is everyone having the same problems.

I am on a G4, installed Tiger and could not get my printers to work. I have an older Epson Stylus Color 900 and a new HP Business Injet 2800. I called Apple and went through a variety of steps unplugging everything, removing, then adding printer in print utility and the usual stuff. That got the HP going but still nothing from the Epson. Apple suggested contacting EPSON (i.e., I have no solution). I emailed EPSON tech support and they actually provided a solution that works, if you follow the steps carefully. Here's what they sent:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
Please follow the instructions below to completely remove and reinstall the
resident Epson driver package for your printer. You can leave the printer
on and connected throughout.
REMOVE FILES
1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
5. Close any open windows.
6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
9. Delete any "Epson" receipts.
10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
desktop.
2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
-Check "Printer drivers" and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
category.
-Check "Epson" below the "Printer drivers" heading. (You do not need to
install other manufacturer's packages.)
4. Click "Install" and follow prompts to reinstall the resident Epson
printer driver package. Restart the computer after installation is
complete.
READD THE PRINTER
1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
Utility. The "Printer List" window appears.
2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
choose "Printer Setup Utility" from the top of the screen and "Reset
Printing System". Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing
printer entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use
this reset, you will need to readd them later.)
3. Click ADD. Printer Browser window appears. (At this point your Epson
printer must be on and connected.)
4. Highlight the desired Epson printer model and click the MORE PRINTERS
button at the bottom of the window. (Do not change any other fields.)
5. A window now opens which is identical to 10.2. and 10.3, where you can
select EPSON USB (for a USB cable connection) or EPSON FIREWIRE (for a
firewire connection) at the top of the screen. Highlight your printer's
name and then hit ADD to return to the Printer List with all available
printer/layout options now showing. (If you are unable to see the full
description under "Kind" you may need to expand the Printer Setup Utility
window or extend the "Kind" column to make this visible.)
6. Then, when you have opened a photo and are ready to print, go to File >
Page Setup and File > Print in the program you are printing from and ensure
that the specific printer/layout option you want to use is also selected as
"Printer" or "Format for".
I now have both my printers back. I was starting to think I never would. Not sure that this will work for you, but trying email EPSON via their web site.
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Dang, one last problem since updating to 10.4.9 - all others fixed though!!

I have one last pesky problem since the update. About once a day my system will freeze, but it happens when I'm clicking on the mail icon in the doc, mail starts to come forward and about half way into my window everything freezes. I can't force quit or access any menus. I have mouse movement for about ten seconds or so then its a full lockup.
Could it be a mail program issue or maybe an issue with the doc?
thanks in advance for your help,
Brown.Recluse

Hi,
This may sound obvious, but have you tried removing the Icon from the dock and re-adding it?
Apps sometimes freeze in my dock, and this works for me.
