Printer trying to install under other devices and fails

OK, this is an annoying issue.
Probook 4730s with Windows 7 Pro64
HP OfficeJet 8500 A909g all in one wireless.
EVERYthing is working just FINE except everytime I start the computer for some reason the 'other devices' section of Device Manager tries to install printer software and fails, then leaving numerous/repeating versions of OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g failed software attempted installs. 
It happens everytime I start the laptop and it's very annoying.
Simple question.  How can I stop this from happening?
Everything else in the system including full use of the printer/scanner/wireless or hardline hookup is AOK.
Thanks in advance.

Any other takers? 
I suspect the printer is being picked up by Windows in the startup process and is being identified as an 'other device.'  It's probably also causing a small series of error messages in the event viewer i.e. an IP address not being provided in the allowed timeframe (which the printer is not able to provide through it's wireless signal) and the other 3 error processes associated with that failure. 
When the machine boots it then tries to identify the source of the problem, which is the 'other device,' the HP printer.  And then Windows unsuccessfully tries to install software under 'other devices' where printers don't belong and fails, leaving a trail of HP printers in it's wake under other devices.
Surely there is a simple cure for this annoying (and currently only) issue I have?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Hey schouten53,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the latest iTunes update. Let’s troubleshoot the iTunes installation by completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components (it is important to remove all components in the order listed).

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

  • Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello, dear Colleagues.
    User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2. 
    If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below). 
    But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
    The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"  with powershell
    scripts.
    $erroractionpreference = "continue"
    $colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
    ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
    If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
    Write-host $objPrinter.Name
    Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
    $objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
    $objPrinter.Put()
    It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
    Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
    At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
    + $objPrinter.Put()
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
    Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
    Thank you.

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms

    Just tried to install a new app and was told that I needed to "Agree to new Terms & Conditions".  When I hit OK, it brings me to a blank screen, so I can't accept them.  What am I supposed to do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    Hi Sailor,
    It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
    In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
    If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better.  For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up.  The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
    For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

  • Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

    I have several NFS shares from my home server that I mount using fstab.  I am running a fully up to date installation of Gnome 3.12.  However, as my subject indicates, my NFS shares appear under both Devices and Network in Nautilus.  I've done some searching and not found much about this.  It is redundant and most importantly space wasting to have two lists of the same entries.  Is there a way I can eliminate this duplication?  Thanks.
    Here is what I'm using in fstab to mount the shares:
    nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,hard,intr,user 0 0

    I indicated that I was trying to mount several NFS shares off my home server.  I should have mentioned that these are NOT NFSv4 shares.  Originally, I had the mount points inside my home folder.  I've since moved them in the /mnt directory and don't have duplicate entries.  Well, I don't have any entries under either Network or Devices.  I've made links to the directories where the NFS shares are mounted.  I was more curious if this was a bug with Nautilus or my own error as having the mount points in my home directory with other file browsers such as Dolphin in KDE did not yield duplicate entries with the same fstab mount options.
    I guess the long and short of it is that if you are using Nautilus, have your NFS mount points outside your home folder.
    Thanks.

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

    Updates do not normally require any kind of password access.  It is more likely your machine's security is asking for you to allow things to be updated.
