Trying to re-install A530 printer on windows 8.1.

trying to re-install A530 printer on new computer with windows 8.1. Installed the software & driver from the HP website but when I open the download it says I need a driver from the HP website, which leads me back to what I did download.

Hi,
Looks like it's an old printer. Please check the following site:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03168175
1. If it's in the list, use the instructions in there to install driver,
2. If it is NOT in the list, please consider to buy a new printer.
Regards.

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

Can't install my printer on Windows virtual machine using Leopard OS

Have just installed Leopard and Parrallels software. I cannot install my HP C3180 printer on the virtual windows machine. USB plug and unplug are not recognized and suspect it is because the printer is in use on the Mac OS side. How can I get the same printer to be connected and usable in both MAC and Windows virtual machines?

I had exactly the same issue as you when I wanted to print from my iMac to a printer that was attached to a Windows 7 machine.
I found the solution at an Apple Support page, located at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049".
What really solved my problem was the introduction of the user PASSWORD in the address line, like this:
smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
Read the Apple Support page I mentioned carefully to better understand what you will be doing.
I hope this helps you.

OfficeJet 6600 will not install on computer with WIndows 8.

I just purchased an ASUS laptop and already own an HP Officejet 6600. I tried today to install the printer on the ASUS but I receive the error that it will only run on XP, VISTA and Windows 7. What can I do to make the two connect and install the printer? My printer is in perfect condition and I do not want to buy a different one.

Hi,
Ensure the printer is powered on and connected with a USB or to the same network as your PC.
Then download and follow this tool, it will obtain and launch the latest installation for your oerating system:

How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.

Here for more information:

If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
Hope this may help

Printing through Windows?

I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
Thanks much

I installed bonjour on Windows, and the bonjour printer wizard did the job.

Printing through Windows on Mac with printers set up on Time Capsule?

I have my printer hooked up to Time Capsule and can print from my Macbook to it no problem. I would like to print from Windows (on my Macbook through Fusion) to the same printer. How do I install that printer in Windows? Do I need to use Bonjour since the printer is already on my network? The printer does not show up in Windows at all right now.
Thanks much

I managed to work through this problem in 2 different installations.
In one case Bonjour did find the printer in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard(an Epson CX-5000)
In the second case - a Brother MFC-6800 - the printer did not show up as a choice in the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard.
You might check that the drivers for the printer that is attached to the TC are installed on the Windows system.
In this case I know the Brother drivers were installed but they don't seem to support a remote print server set up. However, the Bonjour Add Printer Wizard offered 2 choices - a generic PCL and a generic PS printer. I chose the generic PS printer and that worked....
Printing with a print server - which is what we're talking about here - is something that some printers do better than others. In my experience some printers, particularly their Windows drivers, sort of do their own thing which isn't conducive to playing by the rules which is important with print servers.

Had iTunes successfully installed on my computer (Windows XP). I can't access it now.

Had iTunes successfully installed on my computer (Windows XP) for some time. I can't access it now.
I keep getting the message -
C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\CommonFiles\Apple\AppleApplicationSupport\icudt46.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error.
..& then,
Error 7 (Windows error 193)
I have uninstalled & re-installed the program several times with Mozilla, tried with Internet Explorer but it freezes, turned off the pop-up blocker & tried to re-install again. The window at the end of the installation process tells me that it was successful!
HELP!

C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\CommonFiles\Apple\AppleApplicationSupport\icudt46.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

HP Deskjet 9300 Printer needs Windows 8.1 Printer Driver

Hi Tom.
Sorry to inform you, this printer is not supported in Windows 8 and cannot be used with the operating system.

You may try installing an alternative driver as available for Windows 7, however it is not officially supported and there are no gurantees for that to work on Windows 8:
Make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the product. If the USB cable is connected to the product, disconnect it.
From the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon (), and then click Devices and Printers. The Devices and Printers window opens.
Click Add a printer. The Add Printer window opens.
Click on 'The printer that I want isn't listed.
Click Add a local printer.
Click Use an existing port.
Click the Use an existing port drop-down list, select LPT1 and then click Next.
Under Manufacturer in the Install the printer driver window, click HP.
Under Printers, select the HP Deskjet 1220c.
When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully.
In the message window, click Finished.
Connect the USB cable to the product, and connect the USB cable to the computer. A Device driver software was not successfully installed window opens.
Click Close () to close the window.
Right-click the HP Deskjet 1220c printer and then click Printer Properties. The Printer Properties window opens.
Click the Ports tab.
Click the drop down menu, and then change the port from LPT1 to USB or DOT4. if htere are several USB or DOT 4 ports select the one with the higherst number.
Click OK and try printing.
Hope that may work,

Hp officejet pro8500 a910 shoots out blank paper when trying to print from windows 10 installed firefox. Printer works fine from chrome and ie.

I am beta testing windows 10. I use both a hp laptop (dv77128nr) and a desktop (home made). I use a hp officejet pro8500 a910 printer.
When using firefox I get only blank pages while trying to print from within the browser. Only using firefox. Chrome works fine. IE works fine. If I boot to windows 7, firefox works fine. Can you help or should I report this to Microsoft?
Thanks for your help.
ps. Tried resetting firefox. Haven't tried a new install.

Firefox isn't officially supported on Windows 10. For that matter, Windows 10 isn't officially supported either. This is most likely a problem between Firefox, Windows 10, and your printer's driver. Try updating your printer's driver and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to post this on Microsoft's forums as well.

Trying to install Accurip printer driver on Windows 8 x64

Hi there,
I have a driver for an Epson printer 4880 that I am trying to install on Windows 8 x64. The driver works fine on Windows 8 x32 but will not work on x64.
When I select the printer it asks me to point it to the driver location, which I select the .inf file for it and it appears to install. However it takes me back to select the printer and continues to go in that continuous loop.
I have checked the %windir$\inf\setupapi.devl.og and it appears to quit at Driver package failed signature verification.
Could somebody provide some help as to how I could get this to work?
Thanks

Hi,
Which driver did you use? I checked Epson official site, found this type of printer had Windows x64 driver. Please download and install it for test.
