Printer work only like scanner-fo​rgot printer driver or something

Hi.
I have problem with my new all-in-one printer HP LaserJet M1132 MFP
When i connected printer with my pc first time, everything seems fine, works fine-printing, scanning, copying - but when I shutted down PC and then another day turned it on and tried to print something, there is no  Printer in devices and printers, there is only icon for scanner. Like printer does not even exist anymore. But scanner work fine.
I have reinstalled driver at least 3 times but still not better.
Do you have any idea what is wrong ar what I should do about it?
(I use Win7 32bit, every driver up to date)
BTW- I'm really sorry for my english.
Thanks for help

Hi,
Do you have any anti virus program installed on the computer??
if yes which one?

  • How to completely delete a printer driver

    I can't access the "manual Feed" option in my print dialog. There isn't one. Yet, the literature says there is. And without it, I can't print on CDs—I get a paper jam error every time. So I've begun the long process of deleting the driver for that printer so I can re-load it fresh.
    Problem is I can't make it go away. What little pieces do I have to trash before my computer forgets this printer exists? I've dumped the .plist files and deleted the printer from my Printer Setup Utility and have restarted. But each time I go back to the print dialog, there it is again. It's like a bad stray cat that keeps showing back up at your front door. Help!

    What brand/model is the printer?
    When you trash a preference file (.plist), a new file is created when the app is activated. You may have to reload the printer driver.
    Something that might work. Tape a letter size piece of paper to the back side of the CD. Then feed it into the printer. It might keep the printer from detecting an "undersize" (i.e., the CD) item & getting the error/jam message.

  • HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

    HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
    I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
    I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
    How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
    I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
    I am open to questions or suggestions
    Thanks,
    Chet

    After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
    The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
    My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
    Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

  • After I upgrade to maverick I cannot longer use my scanner (Epson Aculaser cx17). Now it works only as printer

    After I upgrade to maverick I cannot longer use my scanner (Epson Aculaser cx17). Now it works only as printer. Does some one else have a similar problem?
    With Lion worked very well.

    The scanner is not amongst the scanners Apple supports on 10.6 through 10.9:
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    Now it could use another scanner's engine, thus supporting the driver.  It could also support the TWAIN preference in Preview application.
    It could also show up in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Print and Scan. 
    If none of that helps, look at my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
    for third party scanner drivers.

  • Redirected printers using Remote Desktop Easy Print driver work only once during session

    Hello all
    We are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Sessions hosts with printer redirection allowed using only the Easy Print Driver, we have no other drivers installed on the servers. All client printers are redirected and can print fine, but
    only once per session! We have tested with several different client printers and they all work a single time in each session. After that the user needs to log off and then back on again to be able to print once again, but only once. Needless to say, our users
    are annoyed. If I look at the c:\windows\system32\spool\printers folder while jobs are printing, but failing, I can see the spool files appearing and disappearing as jobs are spooled. No errors in the event logs accompany the behaviour. Our clients are running
    Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. All exhibit the same problem. The error looks a little like what is described here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925429
    While similar, this problem describes a scenario where Easy Print is not used, but XPS is, and since Easy Print is based on XPS and the behaviour is very similar, I am tempted to make a connection.
    I have checked all the usual stuff with permissions etc, and no manufacturer provided drivers are present. The problem appears on newly installed systems as well as one that have been running for some time. Restarting the spooler services does not resolve
    the problem. Actually I do not think it is related to the spooler service or driver framework at all, but rather is an Easy Print driver issue that is occurring much later in the process, if not I would see some errors in the logs and no jobs would print at
    all.
    Anyone ever heard of something like this?
    Thanks
    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,
    Based from your description, users can only print once during single RDP session, I suggest you check if this issue also happens locally.
    In addition, after the first print attempt, does any other issue exist on the RDP session?
    Is the server fully patched? If there are any available driver updates, please also apply them. If there are any third party software installed, try disable/uninstall them to see if the issue persists.
    You can also enable print auditing to get more detailed information about this issue.

  • Epson Stylus SX205 not recognized as printer, only as scanner

    I try to get my Epson Stylus SX205 printer/scanner to work on my ArchLinux, but can't. The scanner part works fine, but the printer part doesn't.

    Step 1
    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.
    Credit for this solution to ASC user Yuengdog1983.
    Step 2
    If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
    /Library/Printers/EPSON
    You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

  • Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

    Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

    Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2128186&tstart=0&messageID=100 97438#10097438
    i got my MP980 working via Ethernet and wireless. The same procedure should work for your MP620.

  • C# console app - print job vanishes in Windows 8 regardless of print driver used; works in Windows 7

    I have the following which sends a print file to a specific printer. It works perfectly in Windows 7, but not in Windows 8. The print job shows in the print queue until the print job is closed. Then the print job literally vanishes from the print
    queue. This issue occurs with all print drivers, including generic text only. Conversely, I can still use the "winspool.drv" DLL directly under Windows 8 and it works. Please advise. Thank you.

    Hello folks,
    I have been facing the same problem until right now. All above suggested methods failed (as it did for Jeff0123) . But after long research on that issue I think I found the reason (but no proper solution yet).
    MS Windows 8 and 2012 use a new printer driver generation based on XPS. Which means drivers like "generic text-only" won't work properly depending on the method the data is sent to the printer. In my case the
    same way like Jeff0123 tried to access the printers.
    See link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2779300
    One solution might be to use API calls. I have also found a site which shows an example project for thermal slip printing. The VB.NET source code there features a wrapper class for all API calls. The functions you find behave pretty similar to the ones of
    the posted C# code example of Jeff0123. I did a small test so far and for my needs that works fine.
    Although the page is in German you can find the mentioned class by searching for "Public
    Class RawPrinter". Beside the comments the class methods are written in English. You find the class here: http://www.vbarchiv.net/tipps/tipp_2375-kassenbon-drucker-mit-vbnet-oder-c-per-esc-pos-befehle-ansprechen.html
    Hope that might help for at least a few of you. So long!

  • 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

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and pate the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.
    This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

  • Printer driver embedded in win 8.1 64bit not working

    Hi,
    my photosmart 8750 printer, which is a great printer and still works fine, at least with my old laptop running windows xp that is....unfortunately with the embedded HP printer driver in windows 8.1 (64bit) it is not working at all.
    This is what is been happening so far, first time connected, the printer is recognized by windows 8.1 and the driver automaticly installed, if a printer test page is send it prints normally. But that is it, anything else, pdf,word doc or a picture will not print!
    The printer responds to a print command, by starting something that sounds like it's going to print but after a few seconds it stops and nothing happens after that, if I look in the dialog box where docs are normally listed while they are waiting for being printed there's nothing, I'veallready restarted the print spool service but that didn't work...also reinstalled the printer a few times, but that didn't help....
    My perception at the moment is that the driver for win 8.1 is the problem, because the printer works fine with the original HP driver on my win XP laptop.
    Hopefully there's a workaround for this problem.....
    Thanks in advance for any help!
