Trying to print - Satellite L505-S5966

Recently purchased this computer for my son. The computer seems to recognize the printer when plugged in via the USB port (loads drivers automatically and sets up the device as an available printer). When a document is printed the document goes into the queue, but does not print to the printer. The printer queue says the printer is ready and it is selected as the default printer. I had him e-mail the document to me and I had no problem printing to the same printer.
Any help would be appreciated

Each printer has installation instructions. If you will give us the make and the model number, we can help with that.

Satellite L505-S5966 - problem with wireless driver after switching to windows 7

Hi,
I got this laptop in July operating under Vista. I had some problems then with getting my wireless driver to boot properly so it would pick up wireless networks and connect. This seemed like a common problem and I was able to find the solution here and fix it. I switched over to Windows 7 this month, and since then my wireless driver has stopped working again. I guess the driver doesn't boot - it won't pick up wireless, and sometimes when I look it seems like the wireless driver doesn't even exist.
Can anyone offer me a solution? I'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks,
J

I have the same problem. Moved the printer from XP to W7 and the colors are not accurate. It was a great printer under XP. Did you every get any response? What did you end up doing?

Satellite L505 will not start! Please help me!

My Tobisha Satellite is having a problem booting up. I am using the Satellite L505.
Whenever I try to turn on my computer the boot logo comes up, but then after that a black screen comes up with a symbol up at the top left. It stays on that screen forever, please help me!!!!

Try what drev9 said.    And you can also try repeat tries to get it to boot (hold the power button in ntil it shuts off, then power it back on again. I once got my L505D to successfully boot but it took 3-4 tries like that.) Or you can try walking off and just leaving it stwe a while to see if Windows resolves the issue.   If it prompts you that Windows didn't start right, you can either try start normally or do a restore back to last restore point or whatever that other option is.    If you get the macine running, definitely back up or copy off all of your important data and pictures, before you shut it off again.
Probably what you're going to need to do is a complete Toshiba Restore that reinstalls all software back to factory configuration, and that will erase everything on the hard disk.   It's remarkably easi to do, provided you have a fast and reliable Internet connection to get all the updates installed.
I have an L505D-s6947 and it was purchased in July 2009.     It recently started having problems with starting up Windows, could not complete burning a DVD, lost some files, corrupted my original Admin account, and occasionally the hard disk was "not available" when file writes were supposed to happen.    Doing a full Restore cleans out all the junk, it fixed my problems, and the machine runs reliable and much faster now, plus has no difficulty burning DVDS.   These computers probably should get wiped and reinstalled once a year, to keep the performance up and Windows running smoothly.

Satellite L505-13W shows Blue screen error

My laptop SATELLITE L505-13W Shows blue screen error.
The os gets booted up and after some time it shows a blue screen error and restarts.
On restart it asks for repair, even after succesfull repair it showed the same error.
So i tried to recover using the recovery cd but it proved to be a tragedy.
It eraced my full HDD to stone age and smiled at me saying recovery is not possible.
please help me.......

Hi
If the notebook cannot be recovered using the recovery disk, then all this smells like hardware problem.
Are you sure that your recovery disk is OK?
Did you try to install the OS using other installation disk?
Maybe this would be useful to check if the issue might be related to the faulty recovery disk but if the BSOD (blue screen of death) appeared before the OS installation, then I would say the issue might be caused by internal hardware malfunction
It would be necessary to check the RAM modules and the HDD.
HDD can be checked using the HDD diagnostic software like Drive Fitness Test (freeware)
RAM could be checked using a tools like memtest but you need a running systemso in this case you cannot check the RAM using a software I recommend removing one module and testing the notebook using one module in each slot

Window detected a hard disk Problem on my Satellite L505-S5988

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988 with window 7 Home Premium 09 Service pack 1. It is 2+ years old and my hard drive is Toshiba MK3263GSX 287GB. Lately, I got a window warning message as “ Windows detected a hard disk Problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or place the disk….. The following hard disks are reporting failure: Disk Name: TOSHIBA MK3263GSX Volume: C:\ “.
Since then, I have imaged my laptop and run malware/spyware softwares, and it looks like my computer is clean. The laptop device manager said my hard drive is working properly. However the warning keeps pops up. I opened Administrative Event Viewer and found the below warning:
“Log Name: System, Source: Disk, Event ID: 52.
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.”
EventData
\Device\Harddisk0\DR0

D000000000000000000000000
Besides this warning, there are also other errors and warnings back to years ago, such as AFS failed to load, print service… Despite all these errors and warnings, my laptop seems to be running OK. I was not prevented from doing anything that I usually do.
Questions:
Is there a tool I can run to verify that my hard drive is truly bad?
Can any tool further identify where?
Can it be repaired? Reformat? Or I have to replace with a new one?
What options I have if I have to replace with a new one?
What is average cost of it?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

..the warning keeps pops up.
That's good enough for me. I would replace the disk.
You can verify it with the free trial of HD Tune.

Satellite L505-10K - Unexpected error when using recovery disk creator

Toshiba Satellite L505-10k
Can't make any recovery disc when I open toshiba recovery media creator, it says: an unexpected error occurred. Close the program and then restart it (error code: 0D00F6-49-00000015) and then I click ok and then it comes again and then I click ok and it comes again and I click ok and then the program comes and when I create the disc it comes to the verification, but then it says: Unable to read the following file. E: \ Boot \ fonts \ chs_boot.ttf (error code: 02015-20-00000000).
I really do need help, I'm afraid something will happen to my computer, so is there anyone who knows something about this kind of problem?
Thankful for your help.

Hi
I don't now if that works be cause when I got my computer I tried to create an recovery disc but it says yeah, you know, and I was looking in the folder if the file was there as it says that it could not read but the file isn't there so I don't think that it works to do an recovery from the HDD but I know that I can order an recovery disc from toshiba but I don't know if it works to do an recovery with it du you think so? but if I order an recovery disc do you think that I can get it for my language? I'm from sweden.

Does Satellite L505-13J support 3G? Sim Card under battery available

Hi,
I was trying to clean my toshiba L505-13J laptop, when I found a sign of a SIM under the battery.
I tried to put a SIM but it doesn't hold in its place. It is directly "swollowed".
So does my laptop support 3G SIM? if so, how could I put it?
Regards

Hi
No, the Satellite L505-13J does not support 3G module.
I assume that some models of the Satellite L500 / L505 series were equipped with the 3G module.
The point is that the same bottom cover has been used in whole L500 series and therefore there is an sim card slot available under the main battery.

Satellite L505 - Wireless connection is slow

Curlie028,
I'm having the same problem with a brand new Toshiba Satellite L505 - Windows 7 64-bit with the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless NIC.
I've tried EVERYTHING.
[http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/] starts out at about 1480 kbps dowload speed then rapidly drops to less than 300 kbps. LAN cable gives 1480 kbps download speed all the time on my DSL connection. But when I use the Realtek wireless NIC, the speed starts out fast, then tapers quickly to < 300 kbps.
My daughter has a Satellite A500 (not L500) with a different wireless adapter. Sitting side by side anywhere in the house, her laptop, when accessing the same wireless router, always enjoys nearly 1500 kbps as measured by www.dslreports.com/speedtests/ - but not so with my laptop!
I've done all I can to investigate this on my own - much like you - driver updates, BIOS update, turning off all the Norton Internet Security Suite stuff, different browsers, you name it.
I've even tried modifying the "netsh int tcp set global" parameters, running the speedtest repeatededly as I made changes following the steps outlined at this website: [http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2574]
The only thing left to do is to call Toshiba Support and start riding them relentlessly until something gives.... I don't want to return the laptop. I want them to FIX THE PROBLEM!
Mike

Hi buddy,
You wrote that you tried everything like driver update, etc.
But it would be interesting to know which driver you have installed. Please install the latest WLAN driver from the official Toshiba page and not from Realtek directly. All drivers from the Toshiba page are pretested for your notebook.
Check this!!!
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if you run factory settings or your own Windows installation.
The Norton Internet Security software isnt so fast. I would recommend uninstalling it and choosing another AntiVirus like AntiVir. The Firewall you can use the Windows one.

Satellite L505-13W - FN keys not shown and touchpad issue

Hello everybody,
I have two questions and I will highly appreciate your help.
First, when I got the laptop it used to have a Fn bar that comes down from the top of the screen when I press Fn, it shows all the Fn keys, now it disappeared. I need to get it back, I almost tried everything and nothing is there yet.
Second, the touch pad is not zooming anymore when I apply the 2 fingers in and out, it used to do that before.
My laptop is Satellite L505-13W
Thank you in advance

Hi abdouni,
1. I think the problem is related to Toshiba Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. Both tools control the FN keys and the Flash Cards appear if you press FN key.
You can download it on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Regarding the installation: First of all remove both tools and restart the notebook. Now install Value Added Package and restart again. Install Flash Cards Support Utility and make one restart. Now the FN keys should work again.
2. This could be related to Value Added Package too So check my posting.
If its not work, reinstall the touchpad driver.

VGA output jumps between External Monitor and Satellite L505

I have a Satellite L505-144 linked to an external VGA monitor via a 2 way Aten KVM switch.
Intermittently the external monitor screen will go black, the picture will transfer to the laptop monitor for a second before reverting back to the external monitor. This does not seem to be triggered by any particular keyboard or mouse action and does not seem to be time linked.
The keyboard and mouse connected to the KVM seem unaffected. I have the latest video, motherboard bios and all the latest Toshiba released drivers loaded.
To test the KVM I have connected up a Toshiba NB200 in place of the L505, the problem stops, replace the L505, it comes back.
The issue is not effected by having a second PC connected to KVM. I have tried with a second PC on and off, connected and unconnected, still no change to the problem.
I have switched the KVM cables around and the problem persists and follows the L505. If I connect the L505 directly to the monitor the problem goes away!
I can conclude its an issue between the KVM and the L505.
Is there a known fix or work around?
Is there any guarantee if I get say a Belkin KVM this issue with the L505 will not occur with that equipment as well?

At first I must say that I dont think Toshiba will offer fix for this. Toshiba doesnt support usage of third part products so if there is some possible fix or work around ATEN should know this.
Connect all external devices you use directly on your Satellite L505, test functionality and let us know f you have some similar or any other problem.

Satellite L505-S5990 Problems with CD/DVD drive.

I have a new Satellite L505-S5990 using Windows 7. I have tried to burn a backup disc using my laptop but I keep receiving an error saying that the burner is busy or that I should update the driver. I have already updated the DVD/CD driver to it's latest version. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

Go into device manager, uninstall the DVD drive, then reboot the system to have WIndows automatically re-install it. This often times take care of the problem.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Satellite L505 - Does it come with Windows 7 64bit or 32bit disk?

I got a Satellite L505 computer with *preinstalled* Windows 7 64-bit version and a 32-bit product recovery disk. I have not created a backup of a 64-bit version and meantime reinstalled the system from the 32-bit recovery disk provided erasing my HD. I would however like to reinstall the 64-bit verision of Windows 7. I know that I can order a backup media from https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it does not say wich version (64-bit or 32-bit) will be shipped to me.
If I check the model description on the Toshiba page it says that it is shipped with 64-bit version and includes 32-bit recovery disk. This descrition still leaves me with a question which backup media I would get from Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 before I order one.
I would appreciate a confimation. Thanks!

Hi buddy,
I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba website says everything: The notebook is shipped with 64bit Windows 7 version that means this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional you get a 32bit version on a recovery disk and thats all!
So you didnt burn the 64bit recovery disk and that means you have to order a new one from Toshiba. I assume you will get both versions then 32bit and 64bit.

When trying to print to PDF from a sales program we use it keeps throwing errors

When several people try to print to PDF from MAS90, it will save it and create a file as it normally does. However, it does not open in Acrobat 9 Pro as it normally does, and displays the famous error "Acrobat could not open 'xxxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported..." Yet when you manually open the file from the file system, it opens just fine.
So to rehash what I just said, when I print to pdf, it asks me where to save, the notification said the printing completed, adobe opens and displays error. If you click on the file, then the file opens just fine.
However several other people do not have this error while trying to print to file from mas90. Does anyone out there have any idea what could possibly be causing this error to be displayed?

Hi ftd12300,
Are you saving the PDFs you're creating to a network drive or are they being saved locally?
Do you have this problem when creating PDFs from other applications such as Notepad?
