Unable to print wirelessly following most recent windows update

My LaserJet M1217nfw MFP has stopped working since the latest Windows updates (on 8.1) have been installed.  I uninstalled the update and it worked again but don't want my system to be out-of-date.  I am now using the cable to print.  Microsoft were no help and referred me to HP.  Is this a common issue and is there a fix?

Hi @Jeff_Poole ,
I see that you were having issues printing after a Windows Update. I would like to help.
I have seen this happen on several occasions, the Windows Update most likely replaces the HP drivers, therefore causing the printer not to print. I would do a manual Windows Update, this way you can uncheck any HP Updates so the update doesn't interfere with the original HP drivers. (usually listed under critical updates) How to Manually Update Windows 8.
If it happens again though, check the driver that was installed, you might be able to just update it.
Wireless Printer Prints a Partial Page or Fails to Print All Pages in Windows 8.
Disregard the title please. Go to Step 4: Add your wireless network printer using the Control Panel. You will notice in step 11, the Class Driver was installed instead of the printer name.
Downloading  and running the Print and Scan Doctor might diagnose the issue and automatically resolve the issue. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
You could always restore your computer back to a earlier time when everything was working properly.

I realize that you would prefer all the Windows updates to update the computer, but this should also resolve the issue for the printer drivers.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • Since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links from Windows Live to Firefox, but it works for Internet explorer?? Any explanations?

    Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • Installed recent Windows updates and now iTunes refuses to run

    I installed the most recent Windows 7 updates:
    - Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2467174)
    - Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems
    - Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2467175)
    Ever since then, I have been unable to open iTunes. It will start up the iTunes process and before the window even comes up it quits. I have tried following some of the guides on the "Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues" folder in the iTunes Support section of the iTunes website. I've tried the msconfig thing but no luck. From what I see, there's nothing else that's changed with my computer other than the updates.
    I really have no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

    Also, seems like Quicktime isn't running. I didn't get an error message either.
    many thanks! That suggests a possibility that would also be consistent with this cropping up after those particular updates.
    In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

    This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
    Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
    I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
    For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

  • Following the recent software update I cannot now view photos on websites, eg when on estate agent sites, when I rap to enlarge the photos, a blank screen is shown.

    Following the recent software update, I now can't open photos from websites such as photos on estate agent websites. When tapped to show enlarged, or switch between images a blank screen appears. Before update no problem. This is the same on my ipad and an ipad mini. Assume there is a setting, but can't find it!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • Most recent RAW update, New Aperture and Maverick but still Aperture cannot view RAW files from my Sony RX-100 camera.

    I have all the most recent Software updates and a brand new version of Aperture but when I connect my Sony RX-100 to my MBP, Aperture cannot view or import the RAW files. It will import JPEG format. I am new to Aperture and would appreciate some advice here. Do I need an old RAW format update or is there something else I need to do here.
    Thanks for any help.

    It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

  • Flash pro + recent windows update = HUGE FONT BUG!

    Hi,
    I jsut wanted to share my recent pain in you know where. Last week around wednesday Flash IDE (cs 5.5) stopped to display most custom fonts. I could create a text field (talking about the classic text field) and put a text there, however If i chose:
    - custom font (e.g. Futura, Helvetica...)
    - any anti-aliasing method (readbility, animation, custom)
    then the font was not visible at all in Flash IDE and even in published SWF.
    So after a day of reinstalling both software and system (Windows 7 pro x64) I found out that the problem is caused by recent windows update. Since I installed clean system and disabled automatic system update everything wokrs fine. This happend to my colleague as well with flash cs5 and Windows 7 pro x64.
    So to all of you flash people there - I just wanted to ask if you experienced same problem, so we know if this is just individual problem or common thing. For now I can only recommend not to download recent windows update until this issue is solved (if there is any).
    For adobe guys - did you get any report about this?

    check the many posts (and solutions) on this issue:

  • My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!

    My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning.  Now my phone is completely dead in the morning.  I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.

    One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
    Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
    To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
    Close as many as possible if you don't need them.

  • IPhoto won't open after most recent automatic update

    Hello,
    After my most recent software update, iPhoto will not open. I click on the icon on the desktop (Macbook Pro) and nothing happens. Mac OS X (10.6.8) is my operating system.
    Any help will be appreciated. I am worried I have lost all of my photos.
    Sincerely,
    Megan.

    If you control-click on your iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents" there should be a folder in there named "Masters" - it should have all of your his-res photos in it.
    Not certain why you're having problems just opening iPhoto - you may want to take your question to the iPhoto forum - where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
