Windows 7 and HP Photosmart 1215

It appears the 1215 was not supported in Vista so there isn't much chance it is going to work with Win 7 either.  I tried the deskjet 990 work around with Win 7 but no joy. Anyone had any luck getting this printer working with Win 7?  or Vista?  Too bad, the printer is in like new condition, lightly used, extra ink cartridges...  Maybe eBay will be the next stop.

The drivers for the DJ 990c are included in Win 7. Just go to Devices And Printers>Add A Printer>Local Printer>select the same port as your printer>Click on HP on the left, and then select HP deskjet 990c on the right, and finish the wizard.

  • Windows 10 and HP Photosmart 7350

    Upgraded to Windows 10 today. My old HP Photosmart 7350 which was recognized by Windows 8.1 is not "seen" by Windows 10. I tried to substitute the HP Deskjet 5550, which was recommended for Windows 8.1, but to no avail. Is there a fix? 

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have recently upgraded to Windows 10, and it is not seeing your HP Photosmart 7350 on the network. After researching the software and drivers, the last full feature software and drivers were for Windows XP. I see you have tried to install using an alternate print driver with no success: Installing the Printer With an Alternate Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection I suggest contact our technical support at www.hp.com/contacthp/ to look at all compatible options for your Win 10 OS. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html  I hope this helps! Thanks, 

  • Windows 8 and hp photosmart D110

    The printer only seems to work if I connect it with a wire to my old xp machine. I just bought a Windows 8 machine and it keeps telling me that my divice is not found and every now and then I get the message that the two are on different IP addresses and this is usually because someone else in the area is using the same address.
    I have no idea what this means. I have installed the software (downloaded directly from the website).

    Connected wired or wireless?  Make and model of router?   Please name all your network equipment modem too.

  • Windows 7 and HP Photosmart C7280

    I am replacing a laptop with xp with a laptop with Windows 7.  Cannot get my HP Photosmart C7280 to print wirelessly from the new laptop Windows 7.  The printer disk says it is not supported by Windows 7 - what do I do?

    That's because there are no Windows 7 drivers on your disc.  It was likely printed before Win7 was released.

  • Windows 7 Driver for HP 1215 Photosmart Printer

    I've just bought a Windows 7 laptop, and followed these instructions for installing a printer driver for my HP Photosmart 1215 printer.  However, the printer is on the network, attached to my desktop computer.  I'm having no success adding it as a network printer.  Any ideas greatly welcomed.
    Thank you.

    Sorry, but this printer is not supported in Win7.  You could try searching this forum for alternative drivers or get a newer printer.

  • Windows 7 and Photosmart C6280

    I have read that Windows 7 may not allow older printers to function.  I am getting close to purchasing a new desktop PC, HP Pavilion HPE h8qe series with Windows 7 and I want to use my HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One printer with it.  Can anyone tell me if the printer will work with Windows 7?

    Hi,
    Where do you download from ? Is it from the following site ?

  • Re: Windows 7 Driver for HP 1215 Photosmart Printer

    Do you have a driver that will work with Windows 7...
    I have the HP Photosmart 1215..

    What's weird about both drivers being usable?  It's not as though either is intended for this printer. 
    I had a smooth experience with the 7200 driver in Windows 7, but haven't tried the 990c one because I didn't need to.

  • Windows 7 and Photosmart C5180

    When HP Digital Imaging and Solution Center are installed I get pop ups that just keep flashing. They say various messages like Please wait while windows configures TrayApp or configures Solution Center. By removing these two and just leaving printer drivers it works fine. I can scan from Windows Fax and Scan and other applications two. HP had delete everything and reinstall the programs to no avail. I don't think they have any idea how to cure this. So as of right now I will just not install those programs until they can figure it out. Any ideas would be helpful.

    You mention, you can't find Digital Imaging in the Control Panel.  I had some similar issues and after many hours of working on this issue with HP support desk and about 7 uninstalls and reinstalls,  From the HP support desk though, you might find the following option useful for finding the Digital Imaging application and uninstalling it:
    1) Disconnect the printer from the computer or network.
    2) Click on Windows button on the Computer.
    3) Type %Temp% in the box and then press Enter to open it.
    4) Locate and Click on 7zs2b7.tmp folder to open it, if not found, check for any folder starting with 7z.
    5) Open that folder and then locate Util folder and open it.
    6) Double Click on CCC folder to open it.
    7) Double click Uninstall_L3
    The dialog boxes will take you through the unistall options component by component.  There is also a L4 (Level 4) removal script in the same folder which does a more detailed scrub and removal if L3 doesn't work.
    Unfortunately, the support desk was not very forthcoming with documentation to help us understand why our systems are getting bunged up - I tried for several hours to get them to name the actual programs that were installed by their Driver package since they don't follow a consistent naming convention, but I could not get my questions answered.   I ended up taking the steps recommended above of uninstalling Solution Center and Digital Imaging and at least it got me out of the painful 5 minutes of messages every time I restarted the computer and back to interim stability.

  • HP Photosmart 1215 USB - Can't Print

    New iMac user. I have HP Photosmart 1215 Inkjet Printer. Connected via USB and Mac sees the printer. but does not know what driver to use. The Print Using box is greyed out saying "please select a driver".
    Went to HP downloaded the latest Mac OSX Hp driver, ran the installer from the desktop, followed prompts. It installed some folders and files on the HD, but the set up Wizard ends up coming to the same dead end when you try to Add Printer. Have removed printer, restarted, etc.
    When you browse to the new HP folders to select the driver, I don't know what file, if any, is the actual driver to pick.
    Mac OS is 10.4.8. Printer prints fine from Windows PC.
    Thanks in advance.
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Sounds similar to my problem, but my printer does show up in the Profiler.
    I made a call to AppleCare since this is a new computer. I was dissapointed when the tech walked me through a few steps, all of which I had already done several times myself, then said "Everything seems to be working right, I don't know why the printer is not installing. I suggest you call HP technical support."
    Maybe I just got a new tech or she was having a bad day, but I found out more myself on the different forums than she knew about it.
    I guess my answer is to buy a new printer. Or pursue it with HP tech support.
    Good luck.
    Thanks for responding

  • How can I print emails without losing the right side of message Windows Vista 6.0 Photosmart C6830

    When I print email messages, right side of message lines do not print (run out of space) on a Photosmart C6830 using Windows Vista Home Version 6.0.  Have tried highlighting message to print & choosing (selection) in print window - does not solve problem.

    The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
    What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

  • Hp Photosmart 1215 color cartridge will not print.

    I have a photosmart 1215.
    The color quit printing so I purchased a new print cartridge
    hp c6578d
    and that cartridge would not print.
    I performed all the cleaning procedures as set forth on this site.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Did you remove the protective tape from the cartridge? 
    Is there any trace of color on the printed page?  If not try gently blotting the nozzles on a damp tissue.  Does this leave a strong stripe of cyan, magenta and yellow on the tissue?  If not then you have a defective cartridge.  If there are no stripes of color on the tissue then the cartridge is defective.  If there are stripes of color on the tissue but no color prints on the test page or cleaning pages then the printer will likely require service.

  • Windows 7 and HP Image Zone software

    I have a new Pavilion s5212y w/Windows 7 and an HP Photosmart 8450 printer that comes with HP Image Zone software for editing pictures.  The software isn't supported by Win 7, won't install (tells me to upgrade op-sys).  Is there a work around for this or will the software be made compatible with the new system?  Don't misunderstand, the printer works fine, it's just that I can't use the software to edit pictures before printing.  Thanks.

    I just bought a used HP Officejet 5610   The situation was that I had a new Windows 7 machine that no longer worked with my old nice Canon scanner and my HP 5550 printer had broken cradles so I bought a used HP Officejet 5610 and was able to save/refill the color cartridge from that and I had a working black cartridge from my 5550 that worked with the 5610.  On the whole, I am stoked-- it works well.  The new old machine has a much better cradle design than the old old machine, but I still miss my OmniPage OCR software that came with my old Canon Scanner and will not work with Win 7 and Ominipage costs more new than I paid for my scanner in the first place, like 150 bucks.  I too have been looking for cheap OCR ware again.  I am told there is a small OCR applet that comes with Microsoft office that works well with tiff files only.  So if you already have Microsoft Office you already own it.  I'll try the Picaso software from google I guess.  The fax and scan software that comes with Win 7 works with my scanner, but only produces low res jpg files.  I understand that my 5610 likes working with Adobe Photoshop. I have copy of Photoshop Elements that hopefully will work with Win 7.  I will also try that. thanks folks.

  • Windows 8 and installation of wireless printer

    Just purchased new laptop with Windows 8 and tried to install my wireless HP printer, Photosmart all in one D110.  Everything
    indicates installation was success and test printed out.  When I try to print something the hpeprint box appears and says I need to  register my print driver and to enter a code provided by HP to me with an email.  I enter this 4 digit code and it tells me unable to register, recheck code and do again.  Have done this multiple times and no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Hi STLlinda,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that you are having an issue trying to print from you Windows 8 computer to your Photosmart D110. 
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    How did you install the printer driver; did you use HP's Printer Install Wizard, downloaded driver from HP.com, or use an installation CD?
    How is your printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
    Does the email from HP indicate what feature you need the 4-digit code for?  Was it for HP's ePrint Mobile app, HP's All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile app, or HP's Scan to Email printer app?
    Thank you.
