Sharing Photosmart 7760 from Win7 to Vista and XP

My current setup is the Photosmart 7760 is attached via USB to my desktop running Win7 Pro x64. I have two laptops 1 running Vista Home 32bit and the other XP Home Media 32bit. I have been able to add the shared printer to the Vista laptop but continue to get a missing driver error when trying to add the printer to the XP laptop. I have tried to add the additional drivers under Win7 but I'm unable to locate the x86 drivers. I have tried installing the driver for XP and finding it that way but no luck. I'm sure it's something I have overlooked as I see others are sucessfully able to share to XP, but I'm at wits end. Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem, more or less. New desktop with Windows 7 where my 7760 is installed, old laptop with Windows XP that I would like to have share access to the printer. I finally figured out how to do it, though the solution is far from ideal. It would be nice if HP simply made the drivers easily accessible...
I'm writing this out from memory, so some of the menu selections may be a bit off in wording. The gist of them is right though, you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out what I mean. Good luck!
Step 1: Set up the printer in Win 7, share it. (Duh) Let's suppose my win 7 machine is named Windows7 for simplicity's sake.
Step 2: Download the Win XP printer software to your laptop. Install it.
Step 3: Unplug the printer from your desktop and plug it into your laptop. The laptop will set up the printer as a USB wired printer.
Step 4: Plug the printer back into your desktop and confirm that it is working properly again.
Step 4: Attempt to install the printer over the network. When you get to the bit where you've browsed to the printer, you should have a network path at the top of the screen. It should be something like '\\Windows7\HP Photosmart 7700 Series Printer.' Control-C to copy that path, then cancel that installation.
Step 5: Browse to the printer that you installed locally on your laptop, which should now be marked as offline. Right click and select Printer Properties.
Step 6: Go to the Ports tab. Click the button to add a new port.
Step 7: Choose Local Port. When the box comes up to enter the information, paste the path you copied earlier (control-V) into the window. Hit OK until you are out of the printer properties.
Step 8: Right click on the printer and select Use Printer Online.
Step 9: Print a test job. It ought to work.
Step 10: Be glad you only have to do this once and that your two machines aren't both desktops...

Upgraded from Win7 to Win8 and getting errors. Any way of going back? U410

Hey guys,
I just recieved my Ideapad U410 today and I was so psyched! I'm going to a seminar tomorrow, and since this is my only laptop, I really want it to work, so I can use it tomorrow.
Anyway. I figured that I might aswell just upgrade to Windows 8 right away, so after using the computer for maybe half an hour, I pay for Windows 8, and just do the install through the Windows 8 offer.
Windows 8 gets installed, and now I just keep getting errors. First of all, the Energy Management program didn't work and kept popping up everytime I restarted the computer. I downloaded a new driver for it, which seemed to fix it.
At the same time, a pop-up from Dolby Home Theater keeps popping up, telling me to install a valid driver. I've tried installing one, but either I didn't find the right one, or it just didn't work.
Then my WiFi starts going mental! After restarting the computer, it doesn't connect to the WiFi. It just sits there until I right click it to go into "Open Network and Sharing Center", and then it just hangs until I try to close the window. More hanging...... then the window closes and boom! I have WiFi!
The WiFi also started getting slow. Now I have read about the WiFi issues, but my computer was manufactured on 8/25/12, so there shouldn't be any! ....right???
I'm now thinking of doing a clean install of Windows 7 to get it to work, but I'm hopelessely confused about how it works now that there's an SSD drive in it too. I'm used to just being on an old desktop with ONE harddrive, not all this fancy new stuff
So......... basically what I'm asking is:
- Is there a way to get my Windows 8 to work? Fixing the WiFi "hanging" and the Dolby Home Theater error?
- Am I safe from the WiFi issues since my computer was manfufactured on 8/25/12?
- Is there a guide that can show me how to do a clean Windows 7 install? Or maybe even get it back to how it was when I first recieved it?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, guys! Thanks in advance!!
Philip
EDIT: Picture of my upload speed being much higher than my download speed. Looks like I'm affected by the terrible WiFi too. http://speedtest.net/result/2359883449.png

Sorry, Apple does not support downgrading.
As to apps disappearing, it's not uncommon for apps to be removed from the app store. I have a couple of games that I play that are no longer available.
Did you install 8 'over the air'? If so, research into doing a restore. Use a computer to back up your device and then reinstall iOS8 via a computer, and then restore your data from the backup. Sometimes a clean install clears away glitches caused by over the air installs.
If you just wish to express your frustration to apple, on the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Send them feedback and let them know.

Sharing Photosmart 7960 from Windows 7 to XP

Hello,
I have a Photosmart 7960 connected to a Windows 7 x86 PC. I would like to share it with an XP computer, but I cannot locate an installable driver on for the Windows 7 computer that can be downloaded to the XP machine at installation time. Can anyone tell me how to share this printer from Windows 7 to XP?
Thanks,
Larry

End of extended support for Windows 7 is January 14, 2020. Regarding your second question, all X230 models come with anti-glare screens. Hope this helps.

Flash Player 10 is not playing audio from Youtube with Vista and IE

Since installing FP10, I cannot get audio when playing YouTube video. I'm running Vista with SP2 and IE on an HP laptop. Flash 0 on my XP desktop plays audio fine, so I'm guessing its a setting on my laptop which needs changing back to what it was before the upgrade to FP10...any ideas please? I have uninstalled and the reinstalled FP10 as per other posts on this forum, but no success.

I too am experiencing this
[edit]
My problem was that I was not getting flash audio at all, including local publishes out of the IDE. The problem was that my Windows Audio service had stopped (for some reason).
To check :
(classic view) :: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
(non-classic) :: Computer (right click) > Manage > Services and Applications > services >
(one of the above, then) :: [scroll down to 'Windows Audio'] > r-click 'properties', general tab, set the start-up type to manual (in the dropdown), and click the start button on the next line.

Printing from Internet with Vista and Hp all in one 1610

I have a new computer and installed my HP all in one 1610 printer. The printer works perfectly well when I print from Microsoft Office but not from internet explorer. I have tried diagnostics and reinstalled printer drivers but no success. The print job goes to the print queue and disappears as if it is printed but the printer does not print. Any suggestions?

Just curious, have you tried printing from another browser? Cos if you're able to print from other applications, and not from IE, then I don't think it is a printer problem, but rather a problem with IE.

Error 4801, but not using Vista and have mic plugged into jack.

Hi, i'm working on a project that involves inputing from a microphone, running it through a filter and then an FFT, and then doing some analysis on the data. For the input from the microphone, i'm having some issues. I basically drew all of the input functionality from the "Continuous Sound input.vi" example vi, which works on my computer, with a microphone and does display the signal. However, when i copied that over and modify it a little, the Sound read has either one of two errors. When i place the "Sound Clear" sub vi outside of the inner while loop, the Sound Read sub vi appears to have some sort of error relating to overflowing the buffer (i think 4822, but not 100%), no matter how low i put the samples/second and elapsed time function to exit the loop. If i put the Sound Clear sub vi INside the loop (not how it is in the continuous sound input vi, then i get error 4801, described here:
[\Quote]
Error 4801 occurred at an unidentified location
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: (Hex 0x12C1) Invalid sound task refnum.
What steps can I take to resolve this issue?
Solution:
Error 4801 is given because the sound driver in Windows Vista disables the microphone and line-input jacks when it does not detect a source plugged into the jack. The hardware is disabled by the Windows Operating System, not National Instruments software or drivers. This behavior is not seen on XP computers, only on Vista.
The resolution is to plug in a microphone or audio source to the computer. Windows Vista will detect the microphone or audio source, and error 4801 will be resolved.
[/endquote]
This seems very strange that i should recieve this error, as i am running win7, not vista, and have a microphone plugged in. The microphone jack is working - i've tested that with other programs and the continuous sound input.vi, so it works just fine. I just have no idea what to do at this point to fix the problem. My code is attached, Thanks for any assistance in advance!

Hi ir0nsoul,
Thank you for the detailed explanation of your issue. To begin, the reason you are getting the overflow error is because the number of samples needs to be 1/10th of the sample rate. Next, you need to have the Sound Input Clear.vi outside of your while loop because you are clearing the task immediately after you read, so the next time it goes to read, it won't find the stream anymore. Finally, to see if Windows recognizes your microphone, use the Acquire Sound Express VI and check the drop down menu to see if your microphone is listed (use the device ID to set the control back in the Continuous Sound Input.vi). I suggest getting your microphone to work with the Continuous Sound Input.vi first and then add you modifications later. Hope this helps!

Which win7 .inf file should be used for a photosmart 7760?

I have a Photosmart 7760 attached to a Win XP machine. I have a new 64-bit Win7 machine and I'm trying to set up printing from this machine. Windows keeps telling me that it can't find a driver for the printer. HP says I need to use a driver from Windows update. I've found several hp related .inf files on the win7 machine, but none mention the photosmart 7760. Which one, if any should I try to enable me to print to this printer?
BTW, Win7 machine dual boots with linux. There's no problem printing when booted in linux.

HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

I Have 2 issues;
1. I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right? Wrong?
2. I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download". Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

Vista and iTunes shared library - Admin vs. Standard User

Here's a good one.....I am the administrator of the family's Vista desktop computer, my kids are Standard Users. When I log in to the computer and bring up iTunes, I am able to see and access our shared library of music on our Synology DS207+ NAS. When either of my kids log in and bring up iTunes, the DiskStation appears on the left side underneath 'shared' but when they click on it, they are not able to access the music. A dialog box appears with the following message: 'the shared library "Disk Station" is not responding (-39). Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.'
Their Standard User accounts can access the music on the NAS through mapped drives and windows explorer.
I am running CA (Computer Associates) Security Center and the firewall has the same rules in place for all of our logins. Here is the strange thing, when I change their account type from Standard User to Administrator, they are able to access the shared library of music, no more dialog box with that message. I change their account type back to Standard User and again, they are not able to access the music, and they get that message again.
When I am logged in and enter the 'netstat' command, I see the following entry under foreign address:
NAS:3689 Established
When the kids are logged in, I see the following:
NAS:microsoft-ds Established
I've tried a lot of different things, too numerous to even remember or mention, all with no success. Some troubleshooting measures include:
- change the kids permissions to the music folder on the DiskStation from read only to read/write.
- disabled (not uninstalling) tcpip v6.
- tried every combination of new firewall rule, to include ports 3689, 5353 and every port (and range) in between.
- file and printer sharing is off on the administrator account, and is off on the standard user(s) accounts, but enabling it does not allow access to the library.
- uninstalled Bonjour but once I do that, I cannot see the shared library anymore.
- upgraded Bonjour to the latest version but still no success.
If anybody reading this has other suggestions, please respond.

I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

Home Sharing Between Mac and PC with Windows Vista and Wireless Ethernet

Hello.
I want to ask if anyone knows what is the problem.
I have Home Sharing Activated in my two computers and File Sharing Activated too.
My MacBook Pro has iTunes 10 and Snow Leopard all updated and my PC has Windows Vista and iTunes 10.
My MacBook Pro is connected to my network wirelessly and my PC is connected by the Ethernet Cable.
Anyone can help?

since you don't describe the problem in detail, see if something here helps:
what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.
if none of the above makes a difference, try turning home sharing off on all computers, then turning it back on.
these reads will be useful: one and two.

Printing from iMac G4 to HP Photosmart 7760 – Colors are heavy on pink side

Hello~
We have an iMac G4 Flat Panel using OS 10.3.9 and are connected to the HP Photosmart 7760 Printer.
When we print directly from our camera card, the printer prints fine. True colors.
When we print using any software application, (ie Photoshop, iPhoto) the printer prints extremely heavy on the pink side. We have installed new cartridges, have cleaned and calibrated the printer, have unplugged and restarted the printer and still to no avail we have pink tinted photographs.
Could someone help please?
Thank You!

It seemed to be nothing involving our printer. A recalibration of our computer display did the trick.

Sharing LaserJet 1018 from Vista host to XP users

I've been sharing my LaserJet 1018 on an XP desktop to several XP laptops for a long time, and it works flawlessly.
I've now bought a Vista 64 bit desktop, and wish to connect the 1018 to it and share it. (And get rid of the XP desktop). It all seems to work, but then problems arise:
Printing from a (corporate) XP Pro laptop, I get a message that my print spooler has stopped. I can't print to anything until I reboot the laptop.
From a (personal) XP Pro laptop, I can print sometimes but not others. I can run a test print, and mostly can print from Internet Explorer, but not from Excel. (!!!) When I can print, I don't get any feedback (such as, "you're out of paper").
From an XP Home laptop, I'm asked to reinstall the print drivers every time. And then I can't print - I forget the error.
I've connected each of the laptops to the printer directly (USB) and installed the drivers that way, and they all work flawlessly when directly connected. The Vista machine prints flawlessly, either directly to the printer or over the network to the old XP desktop. When the printer is connected to the old XP desktop everything works perfectly.
Also, another printer - an Epson Photo printer - connected to the Vista desktop and shared in exactly the same way works flawlessly.
I've downloaded the drivers appropriate to my operating systems from:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1814094&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&submit=Go%20%C2%BB
Initially I didn't, but now I've also installed the "other OS" drivers onto the server - no apparent difference.
This is on a wireless home network. The printer is mapped via IP address and that seems just fine - same as the Epson.
Any suggestions? This feels like a buggy Vista driver to me.
Thanks,
Tim

I am having very similar challenge with Vista 64 home premium and laserjet 1020. The Vista 64 spooler file seems to have become corrupted, since the printer worked for several months with vista before the error messages and continues to work fine with my old computer running xp pro. HP chat sessions (14 hours) have been entertaining but unhelpful, and phone support insists that the spooler error is with the printer, which is more than 6 months old. I have rebooted, reinitialized the printer from Vista and dos, reloaded and reinstalled printer drivers. Did you get a fix for this?
