T45xi driver workaround for win 7

HP t45xi       driver workaround       for      win 7  32bit

Hello @ddutch,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're looking for a print driver for your HP Officejet t45xi All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, due to the age of your machine HP has not released a driver since Windows XP.
HP Products Not Supported in Windows 7
However, you may be able to try an alternate print driver to gain basic printing abilities. I cannot guarantee an alternate driver will work, but it's worth a shot to try it.
How to Add Alternate Driver:
1. Disconnect the Parallel or USB Cable into the computer or the printer before proceeding
2. Click on the Start menu
3. Select Devices and Printers
4. Click Add a Printer at the top
5. Click Add a Local Printer
6. Select 'Use an Existing Port' and make sure that LPT1 is selected. Hit Next.
7. You should now see a list of Manufacturers and Printers. Click HP as the Manufacturer and select Deskjet 9800
8. Click Next
9. You can Rename your printer to the HP Officejet t45xi and click Next to complete the Add a Printer wizard.
10. Plug in the Parallel or USB Cable, whichever you use.
Once your printer is successfully added in, please test printing to verify if the driver is functioning for you.
Please respond to this post with the result of installing an alternate print driver. Good luck!

  • Music Server Can't See External Drive Formatted for WIN with Disk Utility.

    Is there any reason an external drive formatted for WIN (MS-DOS(FAT)/FAT32 or NTFS w/ NTFS-3G/MacFUSE) with Disk Utility would not work for intended purpose? I have a music server (Bryston BDP-1) that uses an attached USB drive for storage/playback of music and can only read FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. I've tried both and neither is readable by the BDP-1, yet I have no problem reading/writing to the supplied 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32), as well as another 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32). Get Info shows; "FAT32" for all drives formatted as such.
    Note: From what I'm told the BDP-1 uses a scaled down version of Linux for it's OS. Isn't that UNIX? Shouldn't it be compatible (Read/Write) with other platforms (i.e, Mac)? Bryston says the reason they use it because it's Open-Source. Does Linux only work FAT32 or NTFS?
    I do have Fusion/XP, also access to WIN PC's, but I just hate to use it when I shouldn't have to. It makes no sense why the drive can't be read by the BDP-1 when formatted for WIN under OS X.
    And there was one other issue, after the third try to format fro WIN the external drive suddenly began making faint clicking sounds instead of a spinning drive sound only when plugged into BDP-1 USB port. But it works fine when connected to iMac FW.
    HW Specs:
    Drive: G-Drive Mobile USB/FW 750GB

    Exchanged drive. Works now.

  • S205 :Sad with Lenovo Driver support for Win 8

    Sorry for my bad english, but I need to tell you my frustrating experience.
    Due to low cost new windows 8 OS 64bit, I buy a lincense for mine Lenovo S205, conforted with some new Driver updated for 8 on Lenovo site.
    I saw something strange in the Driver's page for ex. the wireless driver is called Cybertan\LiteOn and we have a Ralink RT 3090 wifi module.(or in some market Atheros AR9285)... Hummm realy strange.
    I cross my fingers, I pray god and I start downloadin ALL the driver and start upgrading my system.
    At restart I have my new Win8 64bit system and thank of god the most important driver (Ralink wifi) was autodetected and recognized by Win8  whitout install the strange Cybertan\LiteOn from Lenovo that doubt was working in a ralink device.
    But at this point strarts the big issues with the unrecognized devices, that tahnks of god were less than expected but drivers fron Lenovo site were all wrong !!!!! Yes wrong, it seems a joke but was the true, 
    I think,(to tell the true I'm sure) no one from Lenovo tech checked the drivers in a S205 models, and I can explain why with the above sad experience:
    - SOUND: windows only install generic HD drivers and the sound quality as expected was crappy. So I try the lenovo driver Conexant but it does not properly work, SmatAudio icon in the ControlPannel was not present, no conexant pannel to manage sound, and nothing changed, windows continue with is own generym Microsoft HD drivers. I remeber that Lenovo model U300S and U300E have the same soundcard I dowload their Conexant Win8 driver (with a different number so I hope it was teh latest) and my idea was great, the Conexant U300 driver works on my S205 lenovo and Win8 detect the conexant soundcard and SmartAudio is present and working. There is only a isse concerning SRS Sound that is present on my system but if I try to lounch nothing appens, so I think is not correctly working. But so far so god sound is better than before with generic MS drivers, but to do so I have to choose a different driver from a different Lenovo pc, not an easy step for a normal user.
    - OSD: on screen display (FN+F keys) in 7 they was insert in the Lenovo Energy Mnagement, so to works you need to instal it. I make the same in win 8 with the new Lenovo Energy Management provides by Lenovo site, Lenovo Energy Management is working but OSD no !!!!
    Windows 8 detect and show you in autonomy soud level and brightnes when you press FN+Arrow keys ant that are the most important but ALL the FN+F Keys are not showed on screen even if probably they are working (for ex. Fn+F6 correctly enabel1disable touchpad) but not icon showen on screen !! Well I can leave without OSD but once again seems Lenovo don't try EnergyManagement on a Win8 pc.
    - CARD READER: Windows detect and unknow device called USB CRW and I though correctly was the card reader, in fact I try a sd and win8 was not able to read it. So I install the Realtek CardReader downloaded from Lenovo site, It was extracted and installed but I don't know why the driver seems bugged, the pattern contains only some icon but not exe ord driver, in fact the Card reader even if I try the driver more times it was not decetced. I tryed the old Windows 7 driver for my S205 and thank of god it was working and now my cardreader is detected and working. Once angain the win8 driver provided by Lenovo fails and I need the oldest win 7 driver that maks the job.
    - TOUCHPAD: Synaptics touchpad was detected by windows 8 but all the basic features as the scrolling or 2 fingers was not working. So I try the Synaptics drivers provided by Lenovo and it was only for 32bit system even if is clearly showed as 32 and 64bit driver. The driver itself promp me that is not working on a 64bit system and i need to contact the producer :-(
    Hahahaha very hilarious so I have to download the driver from Synaptics server that is so slow that I need 2 hours to finaly have my touchpad driver. Once again an epic fail from lenovo site.
    CONCLUSION: Lenovo is the new n.1 pc producer in the world but it seems realy not professional when check his drivers and public it on the website. Could be s205 is the cheapest and not business line notebook but ... I am realy sad whit the way Lenovo put new drivers without any preventive control in the homesite driver's page.
    It seems it was a lottery, extracting a number and put the corresponding driver on the S205 drivers page :-(
    Sir this is not the good behaviour, is the bast way to loose users !!!! Very disappointed, very sad and I hope this post can help S205 users taht want use the new Windows 8 system to catch the correct solutions
    I hope too some Lenovo developers can read this, try win8 on a s205 notebook and solve all the problems, because even if I solve with my 20 years pc experience all the issue, still remais some problems as SRS Sound seems not working (if It can work on our system, but if it can't why put in on our s205 driver too) and no OSD for every FN keys working.
    There are not present some utility for win 8 as for example the CAPSLOCK keys utility that was present for 7 but not for 8 (I have to try if the older work on 8) or the Lenovo OneKey that seems not ready for 8..
    So far so good winodws 8 works great on S205 and is a good choice if you catch the correct drivers as I explain here.
    Hoping this help Lenovo not making the same mistakes in the future, and learn from their errors.
    Once angain sorry for my language mistake but I'm not English
    Hore this post can help in some case

    Hi Romagnolo1973!
    Thank you for posting all the things you learned, and how you got your S205 working with Windows 8! Hopefully this will help others. 
    To be fair to Lenovo, they list Windows 8 as not supported on the S205.

    As you found, it is sometimes possible to work around the problems and get things working to your satisfaction!

  • Graphic Driver missing for Win 8.1 (it WAS there)

    Hi, About 1 year ago I upgraded my OS to Win 8.1 and I was be able to find most of driver here: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5045472&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4158 Obivously including graphics drivers. However, when I check today (I reinstalled my OS), it's GONE. I still keep some of them on my HDD, for example, the AMD Graphic driver for Win 8.1 x64 is sp63715.exe. and someone can find the files from your server if they knew the sp id. But the problem is, what if they don't know? what if I don't keep these dirver files? Why they got removed fromt your support centor's list? Please directly answer this question instead imply I already got solution. It's very important for other users.

    Hi, Windows 10 has been out and around. To support Windows 10 vendors (all of them) need to re-develop many drivers if not all. The most economical way is to develop drivers which can adapt to changes. I think (not sure) HP may temporary remove old drivers and will publish new drivers - not one size fit all but at least simplify the tasks. Hope this makes sense.

  • Driver update for Win 7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available

    This patch is needed for the TouchSmart 600 AIO Desktop series if you haven't installed it.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...

    The update is not part of the desktop Win7 update disc from MS or HP  - Microsoft has not yet integrated it into Win7, and it is not yet available on Windows Update (it is likely to hit there sometime in January).   It was available too late to get it out on HP Update before the holiday break.  I don't believe there have been any rolls to the Win7 upgrade disks.   I do recommend (while still on Vista) running HP Update and installing all applicable updates  - PRIOR to doing the Win7 upgrade.  Also - I'd double check the drivers page for your system for any Vista updates as well,  best to do any driver/BIOS/Video BIOS updates prior to the Win7 upgrade process.  I know that some of them were created before Windows 7 was out - and may not want to install if it sees the newer OS.
    As to the fix - this could manifest itself in many ways - but essentially - this resolves system flakyness with USB devices attached .  Some internal devices (card readers, touchscreens, some Wireless LAN interfaces) connect via USB - so they could be affected, even if you haven't hooked up anything to your system externally.
    Not sure just what problems you were experiencing, so can't say this was the cause (and will be the fix) - but if it applies to your system - I'd definitely give it a shot.    I checked a couple of systems that had this update - I see it now on the software drivers and update page for them, so it looks like it rolled out OK.
    Happy Holidays...

  • Satellite C870-11G - "SM BUS controller driver missing" for Win 7 64bit

    Good afternoon,
    After extensive searching of the forums I have been unable to find a solution so far.
    A few of months ago, following the demise of her previous Satellite, my lady friend acquired a Satellite C870-11G running Windows 7 (64 bit).
    She acquire the machine online from PC World and after doing the windows updates set it up using the Zonealarm free firewall & AVG 2013 free antivirus. We installed the bundled Microsoft Office 365 and drivers for her HP F4180 Deskjet.
    Initially everything ran fine but about a month ago the machine would not recognise the printer.
    After doing the troubleshooting thing, the machine reported an "SM BUS Controller Driver" as being missing.
    After a lot of net research etc, plus faffing around with the System Restore" function, I still couldn't fix it and so went for the 'nuclear option' i.e. I backed all her data up and did a full Factory Reset from the restore partition.
    We've gradually been putting it back together, reloading her data, re-installing ZoneAlarm & AVG, Picassa & Office 365. Yesterday I went to re-install the printer drivers but before doing so checked the Device Manager only to find that the error "SM BUS controller driver is missing" had returned. Grrrrr...
    I've been trying to use the system restore to go back restore point by restore point but that too now fails to complete every time with the error (0x80070005).
    Before I go Nuclear again, has anyone any ideas please...?
    Regards & thanks in advance.
    Larry

    Try please to reinstall chipset driver. I found it for your machine and you can download it from here .
    Test it please and post some feedback.

  • Satellite P70-A-104 - cannot find webcam driver for Win 8.1

    Hello,
    I have installed a 2nd hard disk with Win 8 Pro 8.1.
    I also have downloaded all available drivers for my model P70-A-104, but there is no driver available for the built-in Toshiba WebCam FHD. I have also checked other Toshiba models with 2 MBit FHD Camera.
    Is there anyone who knows where to download the correct driver? I know there a some tools for driver updates (25 - 30 US$) but they don't display the missing web cam driver.
    Yours

    As far as I know there is no webcam driver for Win and no webcam driver for Win 8.1 because the notebooks webcam module is controlled by internal Microsoft driver provided with Win 8 / Win 8.1
    Question: do you have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager? I guess the webcam is listed there...

  • ODBC driver for Win Server 2008 64-bit.

    I need help with installing the ODBC driver for Win 2008 64-bit. I'm not really familiar with Oracle products but anyway I was asked to install the driver. I downloaded Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.7.20 which includes the Oracle ODBC Driver 11.1.0.7.0 from this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html. I only needed the ODBC driver so that's what I selected during installation (plus one other required component). The installation was successful but when I go into ODBC admin to add a new data source I don't see the Oracle driver. I probably downloaded the wrong software. Can someone point me to the right direction? Thanks.
