at my company we can install new printer if they use a "STANDER WINDOWS DRIVER"
we can not execute an *.exe file  we have to call tech support to get this done and open a ticket.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    This issue is frequently caused by a driver malfunction although the problem could be just about anything.
    You didn't provide any information.
    The good news:  You can still help yourself and there is lots of help available, including -- in many cases -- the printer software for your computer so you can reinstall and be on your way again.
    Install Full Feature Software – Printer
    Take a look at the helpful videos if you need help with the installation.
    Take a look, too, at the Troubleshooting / How-to / Solve a problem sections for more help on just about everything "printer".
    There is a new "Print Doctor" in town for many printer models.  If there is a new print Doctor program for your model, it will be in your printer software webpages under Utilities or Diagnostics.

  • Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

    Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it. 
    Thanks
    Matt

    At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner.  Select "print preview".  Atop that window, select font size.  Recommended minimum 60%.  May need to adjust with different documents.
    Good luck!

  • WHY was the Print icon removed?

    WHY was the Print icon removed?
    I want it back.
    I used to have an icon for printing on the Toolbar in 3.5.5.
    When I asked where it went, I found this answer: "That Print window will show every time you go to print something in Firefox 3.6+ versions, the option to suppress that window from appearing and the user to be able to print "directly" was removed." Tried to reinstall 3.5.5 but couldn't. Not liking 3.6 at all

    Took a tad more than just "going to Customize. " First thing to do was figure out where "Customize" might be. Just guessing, I clicked the three-horizontal-line box at far right end of the address bar. Downloads was on that menu. But I want it on my toolbar, where it used to be at far right of address box. At bottom of the Menu screen there was a bar, Customize. Clicked that and got a screen where I could move Download and other icons around by clicking on the icon, holding, and dragging. But that didn't get it on the toolbar. Finally, out of curiosity I right-clicked the icon to see what would happen. I got a small box giving me choice to Move to Toolbar. Clicked that. BINGO!!! Also figured out you can do same by clicking View/Toolbars/Customize, then right click any icon you want on Toolbar and put it there. Thanks for starting me in right direction.

  • Why is the print area on all envelope templates more than 1/2 an inch from the left side of the envelope.. ? Can this be fixed or changed.. ?

    Why is the print area on all envelope templates more than 1/2 inch from the left side of the envelope.. ? Can this be fixed or changed.. ?
    I have pages 09 version 4.1... It is a small aggravation.. The left 3 or 4 characters on the return address would not print until I realized that by clicking on
    " View " & " Show Lay-Out " that it was out side the printable range ...

    It seems to be a Pages template  " Print range " issue..  Both the Epson and the HP printers were doing it and it was today that I realized why..  !!
    When I move it to where it will print there is large gap on the left margin of the return address..  Just wondering if anyone else knew about this.. ? My Pages is ' 09 ' version 4.1...

  • [X-Fi] Why do the "small things" not wo

    Creative has designed and produced a great soundcard, I think many people will agree with this point. Of course, there are some small problems, but that's ok with such a high technology product (Vista Support, Crackling Problem).
    But:
    Why is the X-Fi not capable of Dolby Digital (respecti'vely DTS) Li've Encoding and you have to buy an external DTS encoder, so you get D/A -> A/D -> A/D converting.
    Why is there no mode-switcher integrated in the driver and I have to use third party tools, which cause problems sometimes?
    Why is there no Linux/Unix-support respecti'vely a Open Source-driver?
    I'm sure there will be some more "small things" people want to get realised. Especially the not existing DTS/DD-Encoding should be done without great technical problems, and also without licence-related problems, otherwise the external DTS encoder wouldn't have been realised that fast. I think Creative just wants to earn fast & easy money.

    You are right... specially the last line in youre post. But i agree with everything you said.
    I think Creative just wants to earn fast & easy money.
    But there is no answer, and dont expect one from CL. As they are sitting home and counting the easy money, and laughing their rich asses off!! "LOL the suckers....Hope we can fool them buy the new Super X-FI pci-e, we?ll promise them to be 00% crackling free."

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    Katrina UK
    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

    Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
    If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
    For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

    why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

    The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.
