The printer driver is not installed on this computer....

Ok, I have read all kings of fixes for this with HP printers, but what happens when its not just HP printers but any kind of printer I put on this Windows 7 32bit SP1 computer. Every time I plug in a printer it installs the drivers but when I try
to pull up the properties or even try to print it brings up this error. This has happened on a Brother and a HP printer.

Evidently you either did not install the correct driver or its installation did not successfully complete. Can we get your system specs, what OS, What priinters ? what you have already tried? etc
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

Acrobat V9.0
Vista Utimate Service Pack 1
I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1
windows XP system.
Cannot add the Adobe PDF printer get the error message:
Printer driver was not installed. operation could not be completed
Software installs/repair try to install the Adobe PDF printer but they do not. No error message; just that the Adobe PDF printer does not show up
I tried adding the Adobe PDF printer manually.
The drivers start to load and then fails giving the error message in the subject line.
I cleared the print spoolers and rebooted.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat /rebooted/reinstalled. Install says it adds the Adobe PDF printer but nothing happens.
Problem exists for all users including Administrators.
I have renamed the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\Printers folder.
Both are recreated when I try to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer.
I can add network printers with no errors.
I have cleared Adobe PDF printer from registry. e.g.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\Adobe PDF Converter
I even imported Adobe PDF registry entry from a working system taking care to adjust the system values accordingly.
I also verified permissions for registry keys and application/driver folders were set correctly.
I have completely reloaded the installation software and imported the Adobe PDF drivers from a working system.
Not sure if this an Adobe issue, but that appears to be the only printer I cannot re-add.
Any constructive ideas on what to try next would be appreciated.

When I upgraded to Reader 9.4 I lost all ability to print Adobe pdf's. Finally uninstalled 9.4, re-installed 8.2, changed the filename "high quality.joboptions" to "Adobe PDF converter.joboptions" and was back in business. Pretty screwey fix, but after getting no help from online chats with Adobe and a day's lost work I was happy to have it.

Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked.

The photoshop library operation failed because quicktime is not installed on this computer

I'm getting this when importing a Photoshop Timeline Animation into After Effects.
"The photoshop library operation failed because quicktime is not installed on this computer"
I have all updates to date.
Any clues?

After Effects CC (12.x) does not import animation/video layers in PSD files. You should render and export your animation from Photoshop as a movie file and import that into After Effects.

All powershell commands is installed fine .
but still I am getting error
The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this computer

Hi Olaf Reitz,
After running the command still i am getting same error,
The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn' is not installed on this computer
please see below my task and i achieved so far.
i need to get list of Users in C# from Exchange Server. for that i created new User [[email protected]]
in Exchange Server , then i give Full Access Permissions to that User to Access all other Mail Boxes.
By giving below command in PowerShell I am getting all Users List .
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
i need the same list In C# code. for that I
tried with below code.
Here i got only particular user [ [email protected]] details , instead of list.
SecureString secureString = new SecureString();
string myPassword = "EIS2014!@#"; string username = "[email protected]";
foreach (char c in myPassword)
secureString.AppendChar(c);
PSCredential ExchangeCredentials = new PSCredential(username, secureString);
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://ExchangeServer.admin.com/powershell ), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange , ExchangeCredentials);
Runspace runspace = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
runspace.Open();
string newCommand = "Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxPermission";
Pipeline cmd = runspace.CreatePipeline(newCommand);
Collection<PSObject> results = cmd.Invoke();
runspace.Close();
so , i changed the code below
RunspaceConfiguration rsConfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
PSSnapInException snapInException = null;
PSSnapInInfo info = rsConfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn", out snapInException);
Runspace myRunSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rsConfig);
myRunSpace.Open();
Pipeline pipeLine = myRunSpace.CreatePipeline();
Command myCommand = new Command("Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited");
pipeLine.Commands.Add(myCommand);
Collection<PSObject> commandResults = pipeLine.Invoke();
i need Users list In C# , how can i achieve this ?
i am getting list in PowerShell , but i need it in C# code.
Is Visual studio Compiled code be 64 bit for running PowerShell scripts ?

FAT formatted external hard drive is not 'readable by this computer'

Hello support community
The problem: when I insert my 'FAT' formatted external hard drive (Samsung M3) into my mac book pro it comes up with the error message that says "the inserted disk is not readable by this computer" and I therefore cannot access the files.
The story (potential further details):
1. I had a problem with my mac where it took hours to load each time I turned it on, would only work when power was plugged in etc. so I had to reformat my mac hard drive (when I tried to veriify it said repair, that wouldn't work). So i'm starting with a recently reformatted, clean mac.
2. Before doing this I reformatted my external hard drive (whilst on windows machine) to FAT32 (so I can use on both windows and mac) so that I could back up my files.
3. I then transferred files from mac onto external hard drive and then also put them on a windows machine.
4. After reformatting mac hard drive when I then tried to transfer files back onto the mac I get the 'not readable' error.
The technical details:
Thank you very much indeed anyone who can help or can try and help
Cheers
Andy

Erase the drive and reformat using your Mac (Disk Utility)

Proximity not installed on this computer?

I have receantly bought an iMac 27 and transferred all data from my old MacPro, using the Migration Assistant.
I am an Adobe Creative Cloud member, and when opening a InDesign CS6 document in my new iMac, ID says:
"If you edit the text in the document, it could cause hyphenation errors. Proximity (Swedish) is not installed on this computer."
Solution?
Regards,
Tommy Olsson

The Migration Assistant works for moving system files and simple applications that keep their resources in one place. Adobe Creative Suite creates a multitude of files in many locations, and using Migration Assistant doesn't work successfully.
You may need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove components you moved before a reinstall.

When I installed Acrobat 9, the Adobe pdf print driver did not install

Might depend on the OS that you did not mention. Try doing the updates and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, tell us more about your OS.

Print driver will not install

I am hoping someone can help me (new to these discussions)
I have a mac pro and I accidentally deleted my printer. I downloaded a new driver however it will not install. It unstuffed... I get the install screen but when I click on it, it does not run. It actually asked me what app I would like to choose to run it.
I have no clue what to do now. I have never had this happen Can anyone help me?
Thanks

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working.

Print driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)

So, here's my problem. Wondering if anyone else has seen this or knows where I can find logs to get more information about this.
I have some Vista x64 systems on a domain with a print server serving both x86 and x64 print drivers. All was working fine, until one day I updated the drivers, expecting them to push out to the clients. It did for most, but for a few of the Vista x64 systems it failed. Not only did it fail, but it seems to have prevented me from installing any HP print drivers, even for locally connected HP printers. A couple of the machines were critical and after hours of trying things (resetting print spooler, downloading new drivers, etc) I had to rewrite them since system restore was not working (another long story).
So, now I have one PC left that is reporting the above 0x00000002 error when trying to install drivers, and theres a very complicated web of programs installed on this system and I'd prefer not to install it.
Any ideas what I can do to solve this. Same error happens whether using the drivers that come with windows, downloading the drivers from the HP website (both the individual drivers and the universal print drivers), or whether I hook the printer directly to the printer or if its through the network. Right now I'm trying to hook up a laserjet 8150N and getting that error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Karl

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I am having the same issue with loading drivers on Windows 7 x64 machines.

HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus 910 n printer driver does not install on a windows server 2008R2 OS

I recently had a new server installed, a Proliant with a Windows Server 2008R2 operating system. I now just discovered that my All in One Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus A 910 will not install on the Windows Server 2008 R2, ïncompatible operating system. Does anybody have a workaround or solution?

Hello dawnp,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows 7 computer.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it failed as well as any error codes you may see.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

Canon printer driver will not install

I am trying to install a canon s9000 printer driver on my ibook g4. It goes through almost the entire installation process and then afterwards says there were errors installing.
I was printing just fine before using my airport. But then suddenly i was unable to print one day. So I deleted my printers in the printer setup utility I then chose add a new printer and it would not let me choose the s9000. It basically came up in my rendevous printer list I would select it, and then an error box came up. So I redownloaded the driver from Canon, but now it wont install.
HELP!!!!
