Windows 7 (64bit) Can't find my HP 4200n

Any advice helping windows 7 find my laserjet? Not even a beep when I plug it in. It prints test sheets like a champ.....but nothing seems to be able to connect....
I'm using a parallel to usb adapter...not sure how to trouble shoot it...

Using a parallel-to-USB adapter might be tricky. You'll need to find the right drivers for the adapter first before getting it to work. Purchasing an inexpensive IEEE 1284 card and installing it into your PC will allow you to connect the parallel cable directly to the PC without the need of any adapter. The only con is that this is not an option for laptops. If you have a desktop PC with a free PCI slot on your motherboard, then this should work just fine.

T400 Windows 7 64bit Can't Find Printer Driver

Hi all,
Perhaps someone can help with this puzzling problem. Just bought the T400 w/Win 7 64 bit from the Lenovo website. It is great except one thing.
I have a Win2k T22 ThinkPad on the network with a parallel port HP laserjet 6L and a USB port HP DeskJet 970cxi. When I go to add a printer on the T400, Win7 searches the network and finds the printers. For the 6L it downloaded a driver and it works fine. For the 970cxi it tries to find a driver from MS website but can not find a driver.
When I connect the970cxi printer directly to a USB port on the Win7 T400 it finds a driver and it works fine. But not over the network? Even after it found a driver when it was connected locally?
On the network is a Debian Linux computer that can print to both printers. I turned on printer sharing on it. The T400 can find the printers on the Linux box and can print to both the 6L and 970cxi.
I loaded VirtualBox on the T400 and then install Ubuntu Linux. The Ubunu Linux can find the printers and can print to both.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on here? Why can't the T400 find a driver for the 970cxi printer but when it's connected directly it finds the printer driver and works?
Is this a Win7 64 bit issue?
No driver available?
Communication problem w/printer?
Buy a new printer and throw out a perfectly good printer?
Thanks,
Rich
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did as you suggested but now get a different error: 0x00000214
I googled this and found others with the same problem. Tried the solution and it worked!
Here's the link:
Network Printer Problem Link
In case the link gets broken I cut and pasted it here:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel and double click Devices and Printers.
2. Click Add a Printer.
3. Select "Add a local printer".
4. Select "Create a new port". Choose "Local Port" as the type of the port.
5. In the box "Enter a port name", type the address as the following format.
\\Network address of the host computer\[The Share Name of the printer
Then click Next.
6. Choose the correct driver in the driver list. If no available driver, click the button Windows Update, wait for the process finishes and then look for the driver again.
7. Finish the installation.
Thanks! Your suggection got me to an error I could identify. And a solution. I hope others find this helpful.

Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
- do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
- Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

There are no drivers for the CD/DVD drive. They should have been installed automatically by Windows.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from here (use one of the links under the thingy):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HP LaserJet Pro 200: Scanning to Network Folder on windows server 2012 - can't find folder

I have searched everywhere and tried every suggested solution with no luck. Hence this post.
I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 on our small company network (domain). We use windows server 2012 as our domain controller and as our file and print server.
There is a shared folder on the windows server that is shared read/write with everyone on the domain.
I can access the shared folder from any computer on our network.
However, when trying to setup the scan to network folder capability, the HP web interface always comes back that it can't find the network folder.
I have tested that it will work on our network if I want to scan to a shared folder on any of the other computers on our network (other than the main server).
So it appears to be some sort of security / firewall issue with our server, perhaps ?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? Is there any technical documentation on how a server environment needs to be changed to allow this to work ? (BTW, this used to work, about a week ago and nothing changed except for installing the latest HP laserjet drivers on the windows server.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Todd

Windows 7 Install - Can't find my hard-drive!

Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help. I've recently bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite pro L650 (PSK1KA-02D01E) running Windows 7 After a few weeks, things started to get really slow. Then I woke up one morning to discover it stuck on the first screen when I turn it on.
I thought I had a virus, so then decided to do a full re-format and re-install windows. After I formatted the correct partition, I went to install Windows 7 again Only for it to say "windows could not detect a disc drive" it asks me to install drivers for the hard-drive, which I can't seem to find.
it's a sata hard-drive (TOSHIBA MK6465GSX) I think is the model number. I can not find the hard-drive drivers anywhere. The other strange thing, is every now and then, it finds the hard-drive, but states that windows can not install onto that drive (even when I format it, try to add a partition and so forth) I have been into bios, I don't really know a great deal of what I am looking at, but it sometimes states my hard-drive is there, and other times it does not.
I am so desperate to get this fixed. Does anyone have any ideas? I live pretty remotely so taking it back and getting it fixed is not ideal.. but maybe necessary.
Thanks in anticipation..
- Gavin.

It sounds like the hard drive is dying. The Win7 install shouldn't need a driver for the drive.

Windows 7 64bit can't print from quicken

I have tried both my HP F4235 and C3150 printers with my new windows 7 computer running quicken. When i try to print a report the printer acts like it is going to print (i.e.. the carriage moves, etc.) but nothing prints. Nothing shows in the print queue. Quicken posts that it is having problems with HP printers and Windows 7 - see HP help. But I can't find anything.HELP anyone.

There have been some patches from Quicken to address these issues, make sure you have the latest updates. Quicken says only Quicken 2010 is supported in Windows 7 but suggests the following workaround.

Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
Any assistance would be appreciated?
Leo

The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default. The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
That should be it.

I can't install windows 8.1 - can't find hdd drive

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 also I have tryied windows 7. I put my USB stick and I used the Bootcamp installation. Everything was copied+latest drivers, created bootcamp partition with bootcamp assistant. After that Mac restarted and booted into the windows installation. I run install process and it says something like: "Any drives were not found." So in this stage my install journy ends. Because I don't know how to create an installation usb stick. If I going back and check Disk Utility, the Bootcamp partition is there. So I don't understand why the installation can't find any partitions.
Funny is if I try to find some drivers I can browse for them and I see the the HD-partition and folder like an Users, documents, Program Files.....
My SSD is Crucial M4 256GB with latest firmware and used Mavericks by fresh installation.
I will be happy for any usefull suggestion.
Thank you very much.

The .exe is a Download Manager. You need to run it on a Windows machine and download a USB and/or ISO file.

I installed windows 8 and can't find all my bookmarks etc. I tried reset but it didn't help. How can I restore my old info?

I tried to find the database files from my old firefox on explorer 7 but any old files I tried came up as can not open or not found. I tried the suggestions from mozilla help about what files contain the info but got the same results. I did reset but all it did was give me the few new things I've done since installing windows 8.

hello, did you install windows 8 on top of another operating system on a single machine and do you have any form of prior backup available?
one thing you could try is to search the whole filesystem (make sure you include all locations, also hidden ones) for the term ''bookmarks*.json'' - if any results show up with a date in their filename that lies before the windows install, you can then likely import them into your current firefox profile.

Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop can't find AE

Today, Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop says it can’t find my Apple Extreme device. Yesterday, Windows found it and provided wireless connection immediately. Today, no-go. The only change is that I plugged in a USB mouse -- doesn’t seem likely that’s the cause. I can get connected OK wired. AE lights up steady green, when I plug it into the modem so that makes it appear to be OK. I do not use I-Tunes and speakers -- just would like to avoid dragging an ethernet cable around. Can anyone suggest a solution?

I had the same problem. My AirPort utility in Windows would not detect the AirPort Extreme until I was already connected to the internet. I have two routers in my house. When I connected to my other router and was connected to the internet via that, then my AirPort Extreme showed up in my AirPort.

Windows 10: I can't find a audio driver that will work with my HP Touchsmart 520.

I am beta-testing Windows 10; It handles many HP Touchsmart operations well; but it can't find a driver for audio. I have tried many download sites; and Windows Update (which apparently does have some problems as well) and have been unsuccessful in a two-week search.
I'd appreciate any tips, or direction on how to resolve the problem.
Thank you.

Hi,
I think many hardware vendors are working with Microsoft to get a good out come for all and specially for customers. Users don't want a product like Windows 8 or Vista, they want a rpoduct like Windows XP or Windows 7. Windows 8.1 (not 8) is much better but many users are still don't like it therefore from my opinion: Microsoft have to do something about that.
Back to drivers, as mentioned above, vendors are testing. We can raise our voices but still have to wait.
Regards.

Recently reloaded windows xp and can't find purchased songs..

I recently reloaded windows xp onto my computer, and I redownloaded iTunes and now I can't find any of the songs I had purchased before. Will someone please help me find the songs or figure out how to get them back??

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Windows XP Home can't find HP printer connected via Ethernet

I posted this on the Bonjour forum, but this might be a better place for it. So:
We just got an HP Photosmart D7260, which I've connected to our network via Ethernet.
My MacBook and Kittendaddy's eMac found it with no problem, but when I boot into XP Home, the Printer Wizard can't find it, and Bonjour sees it but can't find the correct driver (even though I've installed it). When I click on "Have disk", it takes me to the disk contents but I can't seem to find the file it wants.
Any ideas?
God, why is everything so complicated when it comes to Windows? It drives me crazy, I tell you.
Oh yeah, it's this printer, if that's important: http://tinyurl.com/265367
