Windows upgrade to 8.1 from 8.0 printer issues

I recently upgrade from windows 8.0 to 8.1- I immediately starting having printer issues, with the black white crispness of my printer. I tried to adjust the setting to no avail. I read that sometimes you need to reinstall your printer software, so i tried to uninstall and re-install... no i am unable to bet my printer software to load. I have tried with the disc that came with the pritner and the online options.  I cannot print at all now, and i don't know what to do. I am so frustraited that nothing i try works.  I've looked into tyring to uninstall windows 8.1 but i've found out that it's not easy i'd have to basically reimage my computer to 8.0 and reload everything.  
What is your solution HP?  my laptop is an HP 2000-2d27cl Notebook PC 
We have another laptop of the same model but has windows 8.0 on it, it  is able to use the printer without any issues.
Thank you-

Hi @mysticsol8 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer software again. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
What happens when you are trying to install the software? (error message, printer not being recognized)
Please try the following steps to see if it will help with getting the printer installed.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Run the uninstall again.
Perform a clean boot on the computer and turn off the Antivirus Software. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Then run the installation, immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow the steps in this document to update the drivers so it doesn't error out again. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Then the installation should continue.
Test the printer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)

  • Windows Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 8.5 printing issue

    I am having a problem when using the crystal reports 8.5 report viewer ocx (ActiveX) under Windows Server 2008.
    When logging onto the server through remote desktop, a report can be shown on screen in preview. When this report is printed, and the user requests more than one copy, the printer only ever prints one copy. Is this a configuration of the terminal server, or simply that the ocx control doesn't cater for it?
    I am using the Windows Server 2008 "Terminal services Easy Print" drivers on the terminal server.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Hi Sastry
    I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
    Thanks

  • Since recent upgrade to win 8 from 7, HP printer will not accurately print from Photosmart 7.0.1. ?

    Is there an update to correct this?

    Seems like your question would be better in an HP forum than Adobe.  Photosmart is of course not an Adobe product.  Have you checked the HP site for driver updates for your particular set of hardware?
    You haven't been very specific; perhaps if you provide more info about specifically what you have and what you're seeing go wrong someone will be able to help you better.
    I don't have a suggestion for you beyond that, but this is for others considering Windows 8:  It's never good to upgrade to a brand new OS in the first weeks after its release.  An OS is more than just software from the manufacturer - it involves support from hardware vendors.  No matter how many preview versions the OS manufacturer has released, device driver perfection (printer, display, storage devices, motherboard) ALWAYS lags behind the OS release.
    Right now apparently there are a number of known problems with Windows 8:
    With display drivers (people not getting good GPU support with ATI cards in Normal and Advanced modes, for example).
    With printer drivers.
    With storage drivers (I've heard of troubles with RAID controllers, for example).
    In the professional realm there's an old adage, born from long experience:  Never upgrade to a new Windows version until Service Pack 1.
    With Windows 8 there is the additional consideration (for those who haven't yet taken the plunge):  Carefully consider whether Windows 8 adds any return on investment (ROI) that you actually need. 
    Microsoft has taken off in a new non-pro direction with Windows 8 and has actually DEGRADED the desktop experience (presumably to try to herd us all over into the Metro/Modern realm).  It may be that the best idea would be to continue to use Windows 7 and wait until Windows 9 (or whatever they call the next release) to re-evaluate upgrade options.

  • Steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.

    Can anyone help me with the steps to upgrade my Oracle version from 11.1.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 in windows.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the latest 11gR2 patchset (currently 11.2.0.4). At a high level -
    1. Install 11.2.0.4 into a new separate ORACLE_HOME - see MOS Doc 1562139.1 and Contents
    2. Apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU bundle available for Windows - see MOS Doc 1454618.1
    3. Use DBUA to perform the upgrade - MOS Doc 870814.1 and Contents

    I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

    Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

  • Upgrade the Oracle Apps from 11.5.10.2 from windows 32 bit to R12 OEL 64bit

    Hi Frnz,
    We are planning to upgrade the Oracle application from 11.5.10.2 from windows 32 bit to Oracle apps R12 OEL 64 bit.
    As I go through the Metalink documents and came to know the below Path to proceed with the R12 upgrade for our scenario (2 phase process).
    Phase1 - Upgrade in the source windows OS Machine :
    1)Upgrade the Database to latest version of 11G R2 (11.2.0.1/11.2.0.2) [if 9.2.0.8 to 11gR2, refer metalink note 881505.1 & 1265268.1]
    2)Upgrade Application from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.1 in windows Machine
    3)Upgrade Application from R12.1.1 to R12.1.3 in windows Machine
    Phase2 - Migration Process from windows to Linux:
    1)Migrate R12.1.3 Application from *32bit windows to OEL 64bit*. (I could not found the exact document for this Cross Platform Migration)
    Note:
    As per the metalink note, we identified that, Oracle 11.5.10.2 Application will not support for the 64bit Linux.
    Reference:
    Migrating to Linux with Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 238276.1]
    Migrating Oracle E-Business Suite R12 from Linux 32-bit to Linux 64-bit [ID 471566.1]
    Kindly suggest the upgradation Path to upgrade the Oracle application from 11.5.10.2 from windows 32 bit to Oracle apps R12 OEL 64 bit.

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.

  • Why can I no longer print from my Windows XP computers to my Bonjour connected Canon printer thru an Airport Extreme Base Station (f/w 7.6.4, model A1301)?

    Something has changed recently and I haven't figured it out.  My 2 Windows XP computers are no longer able to print via Bonjour.  I have tried removing and reinstalling Bonjour.  Upgrading the firmware on the AIrport Extreme Base Station and comparing Port settings from an able to print Windows Vista laptop.  Port settings match and Bonjour says it sees the printer...but the communication is not happening between the computer and the networked printer, it times out and produces an error in the print que.  Both XP computers have no problem using the internet via the Base Station.  One is wired and one is wireless.  Thoughts?

    Sounds a bit like a problem being discussed in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2651093&tstart=0
    I suspect some kind of update is at fault. Like you, my printer/base station setup had been working fine until recently.

  • I am upgrading wi-fi router from Airport Express to Airport Extreme. I followed set up instructions yet I am still getting the flashing amber light and cannot setup (using manual setup or the continue button).  What should I do??

    Hello,
    I am upgrading my wireless router from an Airport Express to an Airport Extreme.  After disconnecting the Express and plugging the Extreme via ethernet cable to the modem, I am receiving a flashing amber light after connecting the power source.  I also reset the modem while the Extreme was still powered and plugged into the modem, but no luck.  I also tried resetting the modem and the Extreme and still no resolution.  Please advise.  Thank you!

    This error usually occurs when the Windows Firewall and/or anti-virus software blocks the connection attempt from the PC to the AirPort Extreme.
    Microsoft Security Essentials can do the same thing.
    Things would be much easier if you had a Mac or iPhone or iPad to set up the AirPort Extreme. Otherwise try turning off the Windows Firewall and Anti-Virus programs, etc on the PC.
    Restart the PC, then see if the PC can contact the AiPort Extreme. It will likely help to connect an Ethernet cable from the PC to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. You can disconnect the Ethernet cable once the AirPort Extreme has been configured.
    Re-enable the Windows Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc and restart the PC.
