Printing on photosmart c4283 vista x64

Hi,
I am able to print the test page and the diagnostics page from the software driver installed on vista 64bit. However, printing from Notepad just the word "test" fails.
1. The vista window that displays the list of documents in the pool shows the document as Printing... then deleting... then it's gone.
2. The little display on the printer itself shows Printing...
3. the mechanics of the printer move a bit, but the paper doesn't move at all and then everything returns to Idle.
Advice appreciated,
rds,

I have tried to scan a document and that fails as well. On the photosmart little screen it says "USB not connected" which is ridiculous because I can print the test page from the PC.
Also in vista's control panel, I clicked on Scanners and cameras and I can see the photosmart in the list, but nothing comes out when I click on Properties.

  • 4502 connects to wireless router but will not load as printer to Dell 1545 Vista x64 wireless

    HP 4502 shows and active wireless connection to router and router shows 4502 is connected and has MAC pass-thru. HP software install on Dell 1545 computer under Vista x64 was fine until the connect wireless choice was selected. Result was printer was not loaded. Dell does not have bluetooth board so couldn't use wireless direct option on printer. Printer worked well wireless at one time but when internet connection to AOL was lost something went astray. Printing test page wireless while in HP printer control software on computer works fine but that is rather boring after a while, and very frustrating trying to understand why thats' possible when printer does not show as available for connection from any other program. Have uninstalled HP software, cleaned registry, set printer to factory default, powered down and unplugged all, reinstalled from scratch twice with same result. ANy suggestions?

  • Acrobat 8.1.5 on Vista x64 problem with PDF Printer

    Hi all
    Forgive me if this is a newbie question... I *tried* to get direct support from Adobe and they spent the time telling me my support had "expired" rather than answer the question... nice... so thought maybe someone knows the answer.
    I have the latest version of Acrobat 8 on Vista x64.  Anytime I use the "Adobe PDF" printer to print direct to PDF from an application, the PDF gets produced OK, however the print spooler for this printer retains a print job with status "Error - Printing".
    The only way I can remove the job is to do it manually and a lot of times I have to Cancel it twice for it to work.
    Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks... will give that a try and report back...
    Reporting back... nope it did not fix the problem.  But the repair process did damage the install of Acronis True Image so that it wouldn't load... I did a Repair of that install too and at least now I am back to where I was...
    Appreciate the help.  Anyone else have other suggestions?

  • Photosmart Premium C309 can not install on a Vista x64 laptop???

    Ok, here's my issue and I do hope someone can help.
    I have Windows 7 on my main PC.  My network is run by a Linksys WRT610N which is a dual band wireless router.  The Printer is successfully installed on the router and prints just fine from my Windows 7 PC.
    The problem is with a Dell Latitude D630 laptop running Vista x64.  I can see the printer under network properties and the HP Network Diagnostic software sees the printer as well.  Printer and laptop are connected to Wireless G under the same band.
    The problem is when I go to install the driver from HP's website.  The same ones that installed fine on the WIndows 7 system.  Version 13.1.  During the install, it scans for a Wireless device yet can't find one.  It then asks for a driver (not baked into Vista, of course).  It asks for the disk but I downloaded the software from HP and don't have the disk.  There is no INI file in the 140+mb file from HP so I can't manually install the driver.
    How do I get the HP software to recognize the printer from the laptop?  Even though Windows sees it??  If I go to "add printer" in Control Panel it sees it.
    Help!

    It should find a driver.  Run a Windows Update to get the latest drivers.  If that does not work.....
    You can manually add the printer, however this will only provide printing function.  Scanning is done through the HP software.  Try this and maybe the software will run better.
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
    If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.

    Product:  HP Photosmart C4580 All in One Printer

    I can scan from windows I just can not print. 
    The print job gets stuck in the queue with an incorrect page count.
    I have restarted the spooler in windows.
    The diagnostic tool provided by HP reports that all functions are good.
    I can not get this printer to print from windows 7 any help would be appreciated

    I am currently having the same problem and am very frustrated!  I've recently installed a new router - everything worked perfectly before that.  Now I cannot print through wireless or USB from my laptop even though I've gone through every recommendation I can find.  Can anyone help me with this???!!!!!

  • Can't install Premiere Pro CS3 in vista x64!

    Hi
    I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 trial version on my system Vista Ultimate X64, every time I run setup.exe that extracted on my desktop it load for few seconds, loading and then it close with no reason.
    There's no error code or any message after it close. and I'm also pretty sure that my system met recommended requirements. I'll upload dxdiag anyway.
    I just were on my way to buy this product but I said ill try it as long as there a trial version, thanks to "trial versions" idea that adobe presents to us.
    Anyway, what is my problem, what's wrong?

    I have to agree with Aanarav but I haven't suffered the same USB audio problem. My Rode mic works fine.
    I've loaded CS3 Production Premium on Vista x64 and suffered no ill effects at all. My projects are longform (documentary) and the greatest benefit so far is the drastically reduced rendering times (mind you that's a quad core with 8Gb of memory.) Apart from the Adobe suite I can run GPU based programs like ProDad's Vitascene and many others concurrently without affecting processing speed all that much. For the first time I can actually run Prem Pro and Avid liquid at the same time (not too well mind you) and that's a feat.
    As to all the "questions" Vista may ask the solution is simple - turn them off.
    There's a lot of rumours about "lack" of drivers but this is changing daily and I don't have one piece of hardware/software from XP that can't run on Vista x64 including my 14 year old HP Laserjet 6p printer. The only hardware I needed to replace was my Lide30 Canon scanner (2 years old).
    Oh! the nVidia x64 bit video drivers are a treat.

  • Toolbox won't install on Vista x64 with HP Business Inkjet 1100

    To install my HP 1100 on Vista x64, I was redirected to the only compatible driver which was for the HP 1000.  The printer works, but has lost some of it's features such as double sided printing and the Toolbox to monitor ink levels.  A search of the forums suggested installing OJProK550_Toolbox_en.exe, but after installing that I can't get it to function because it states the driver hasn't been installed.  What driver?  I'm confused since I have the functional driver for this printer installed and even reinstalled through New Drivers to be sure I had the latest.  I suspect the conflict and failure has something to do with this optional driver I had to use. 
    Can anyone offer some suggestions please?  I hate to wait until my ink cartridges are empty before finding I need one (it usually happens on a weekeng!) 
    Interestingly, I "scabbed" this printer to my laptop running XP x32 and from there I can do doublesided printing, but cannot access the toolbox either.

    Hello, have you tried using the PCL 5 UPD? In my experience, PCL 5 runs better and is not glitchy which seems what was going on before you uninstalled it. Also, how do you have the IP addresses setup for your home network?

  • Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?

    Acrobat v8.1.2 Word 2003 Vista x64 embedding fonts without subset?
    Relative newbie: Every time I create a pdf from a 330 page Word 2003 doc file I end up with a very nice pdf file with all the fonts embedded as 'Embedded Subset' when I was simply hoping for 'Embedded'.
    I turned off embedding altogether in the Word Options and it didn't make any difference.
    I have cleared:
    Printers / Adobe pdf / fonts / Subset embedded fonts when percentage of characters used is less than...
    I also have the pdf Converter Advanced Options / True Type Font set to 'Download As Softfont'
    ..and the Postscript Output Option set as 'Optimize for Portability'
    .."Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." is unchecked
    Any suggestions? tia

    Well, I was following instructions on a website on how to create a pdf and a printscreen showed the Acrobat fonts window with just 'Embedded'.
    The instructions were a little vague, to be honest, and I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. The pdf is going to a Print on Demand publishing house so I suppose it may well end up in any printer's you care to name in any Country you care to name...

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
    It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
    I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
    'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
    I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
    Anybody has the same issue?
    Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
    MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz   Windows Vista   nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

    There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
    I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
    So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.

  • Bass Redirect in Vista x64 w/ XI-FI 2.13.0

    Hi everyone,
    My apologies if this question has already been answered (and often,) but I couldn't find it while searching.
    Anyway, on my old PC with Windows XP (and then Vista) 32 bit, I was able to use my X-Fi's bass redirect function to spread out the bass over my front speakers. I've since moved my soundcard to a new PC featuring Windows Vista x64, and I can no longer find this feature.
    Does anyone know if the latest Vista drivers (2.3.002) support bass redirect, and if so, how I might locate the feature?
    My card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Edition. Btw, I thankfully haven't experienced any other problems with the card / driver / OS combination. The card sits in an nForce 680i moBo and is situated in the lone PCI slot between the two PCI-E x6 slots.
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    Hmm.. Very interesting. I'm downloading now (hopefully it will be finished by the time I arri've home from work -- it's a very sllllloooow download at 20 Kpbs.) Btw, does anyone know if this works on Vista x64 as well?

  • ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

    I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
    Any ideas on this?

  • Vista X64 Drive Management Snap-In Error with SD Cards

    I have someone with an W700, 2752-3KG, running Vista X64, raid 1 configuration with factory image. The system also has a VM with XPP X86 in case it proves relevant.
    Everything works like a dream, except for one thing which has got us completely stumped. When an SD card is inserted it is recognized as new hardware as expected. There is no autorun, i.e. Open folder / play music window, as this was disabled when the VM was set up. In drive management the SD card will be shown, but alas not assigned a drive letter. Any attempt to assign a drive letter results in the following message; (translated from German to English using translate.google.com)
    "The operation could not be completed because the view
    of the Disk Management snap-ins is not current. Refresh your view with the
    update task. If the problem persists, close the Disk Management snap-in, and
    then restart the Disk Management snap-in or the computer."
    [Original screenshot attached 203KB]
    The usual routine of updating / rolling back of drivers, uninstalling the hardware etc. etc has been tried to no avail.
    The SD cards work fine on other TPs including W700s with Vista X64, X86 and XPP X86, they also work fine on this system when using an USB card reader
    What hasn't been tried is running a recovery to another hdd. As the system is used daily this would mean blowing part of a weekend. And if a weekend is going to be partly blown, then I'd rather blow it completely and reinstall everything from scratch which would be a shame because, as previously stated, everything else is running 110%.
    Has anyone experienced similar? Any ideas? I've searched MS thoroughly without finding anything 
    Thanks in advance

    You may want to try a few different SD cards, there are apparently some which do not play well with Vista.

  • ITunes and Windows 7 (or Vista) x64

    Hey there,
    the current state with syncing my iPod under Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 (RC) x64 is horrible. iTunes locks itself up for several minutes, syncing large Music libraries takes hours - and might break halfway through the progress. It's a shame that I have to experience such lacky behaviour from Apple Products.
    Having ordered an iPhone 3Gs, I wonder if I'll experience the same trouble with it.
    Will Apple make it to provide a working sync solution for Windows 7 x64?
    Windows 7 is no longer pre release, so it's time to take some action. You should've downloaded the RTM copy of Windows 7 x64 already, MobileDeviceDriver Team.
    Pretty Disappointed

    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    what typically works with the 2380s on 64-bit OSs (it hits XP too) is reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing.
    the GEAR drivers are available from the following page. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit driver, so be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:
