Written and visual Instructions to disassemble OfficeJet K60

Hi,
I have an old HP Officejet K60 All in one that was only used a few times and then was put into storage. I recently brought it back out and tried to use it, but while trying to align cartridge the print head would move to the left then move back to the right next to the service station and would stall there for a couple of seconds while making this noise (sounds like it was trying to move, but could not) and then the print head would move to the left side and then back to the right (but not into the service station) then it stops there with a waring light blinking and beeps 3 times ("beep-beep-beep", "beep-beep-beep", "beep-beep-beep") and on the LCD screen it says "Clear Carriage Jam". I check and there was no paper jam in there.
I had a better look into my printer and saw a piece of something obstructing the print carriage from entering the service station. I touched it and it fell over and so I pick it out and it looks like a part that the printer cartridge stands on when in the service station. Took a better look inside with a flash light and it looks like the service station assembly area fell apart. There are parts broken and a spring that is not assemble but just laying around.
Would someone be nice enough to tell me where I might get written and visual instruction to open and replace that part of the service station?  And does anyone know how much it might cost to have a printer technicion replace the part in the service station?  ball park cost if possible.  If I am unable to replace the part is it worth the cost of having a technician fix it or should I just buy a new printer?  and I just bought new ink! gosh darn it!  Thanks for any assistance. 

Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl. There may be other solutions that could work for you.
I hope this information helps.

  • Software and Driver Installation for HP Officejet 7310 Crash on my new laptop running Windows 8.1

    I am trying to load the software and drivers for my hp Officejet 7310 on my brand new Lenovo laptop which runs windows 8.1.  I had successfully loaded the software last week.  Unfortunately I lost the disk drive on my 2 week old computer. The store gave me another brand new Lenovo laptop.  On the new laptop I get errors when I try to load what I think is the same software that I loaded on the other computer a week ago.  I downloaded the software from the hp website.
    The driver software download fine.   Originally it then unzipped and a nice interface came up.  I think I clicked the load button.  A message box came up saying that it could not find a certain file in appData\local\temp\7xxx...  I tried the download and install several more times.  I think I then did windows updates and registered my version of office.  I was thinking that with the other computer I must have had the computer in a different state such that the drivers and software installed without a hitch. 
    Things seem to have gotten worse.  I do not get as far.  It still downloads fine but now after unzipping rather than the nice interface with the "load" button I get the a message box.
    The latest error is in a message box with the heading "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".  The error says that Program:c:\users\...\appData\local\temp\7zS4237\setup.exe  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. 
    I was able to connect the printer through the "add Printers" and am not actually too worried about having the whole "HP Solution" with the scanning interface.  I am worried that this error will cause me problems in the future with other things.  Thanks in advance for any help.
    I saw similar issuesdiscussed on the web and have tried several things.  I really do not want to reload the OS and start again.  We have barely used the system and I have no idea how this problem occurred and so I would not know how to prevent it from happening again.  I did stop and start the print service.  I was tempted to "totally unload the hp print drivers" but the file names in the posted instructions did not exactly match my files.  Another post mentioned making sure that I had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player loaded.  I went to the adobe site and it said that it is part of windows 8.1's internet explorer.  I ran the test and it seemed to work.
    Could the HP installation failure have corrupted my version of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Karen_M2,
    Thank you for your response!
    The HP software does require the C ++ run-time libraries in order to install correctly. Please see this guide, Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error May Display When Installing Certain Printers.
    Here are the differences between the four types of uninstall: 
    1
    Removes the Windows device discovery (Plug and Play) entries from the Windows registry. After running level 1, connect the USB cable to the all-in-one and let Windows try to discover the device again.
    2
    Performs Level 1 and removes the software drivers. After running level 2, run the all-in-one installer and use the "Add a new device" option to attempt to reinstall the all-in-one again.
    3
    Performs Levels 1 and 2 and removes the HP Photo and Imaging software. You must completely reinstall the all-in-one software after running level 3.
    4
    Performs Levels 1, 2 and 3, and removes HP Software Update. You must completely reinstall the all-in-one software after running level 4.
    If you have an HP computer I would not recommend the L4 uninstall as it would also uninstall any other HP software you have installed besides your printer.  
    Definitely continue going through the post I had provided, Re: Error message Microsoft visual c++ runtime library.
    If that still does not resolve your issue, or you cannot uninstall using one of the four methods above, then try the following:
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. How to Disable Antivirus in Windows 8?
    Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.
    Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).
    Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this information helps, and have a good day!

  • Crystal XI Reports and Visual Foxpro Tables

    Post Author: Pamela Vincent
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I have installed XI and tried to add an ODBC connection for a database package written in Visual Foxpro 9.0
    In online help there appears to be a Foxpro option in the connection info diagrams, but I don't get all of the choices when working through the process myself.
    I had no problems connecting and using Crystal 8.5 previously so I'm at a loss as to why I can't get it to work.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Not just the runtime - where would you get it without breaking licensing? You have to have a valid copy of CR 2008 and install it. No worries about unistalling CR 10.5 - .NET 2008 will automatically use the latest files.
    Re. Oracle support. That is correct. The crdb_oracle.dll does not ship with any versions of CR that bundle with .NET. You could go ODBC or OLE DB though.
    Not sure what you mean;
    Can the CRRuntime_12.x be bundle to VS 2008 just like the Basic version does?
    But as I mentioned above, you must obtain a copy of CR 2008. A 30 day eval is available from here;

  • Officejet K60 - can I use JUST as a fax?

    I recently got an Officejet K60 that I only want to use as a fax machine. Do I have to hook it up to my computer, or will it perform only as a fax machine? I can't find this in the manual and don't want to spend money on ink if it's not going to work the way I want it to. Thank you!

    Hi there nmd,
    The k60 should function just fine as a standalone fax machine. Let us know if you have any problems.

  • Crystal Reports 13 and Visual Basic 6

    I have a application written in Visual Basic 6, with an access back end, with major reporting functions provided by Crystal Reports 6.
    This program is used by a number of clients that all until some weeks had XP as their operating system.    Needless to say cr6 does
    not play well in win 8.1 environment and hence my desire to update to CR13.   VB6 I am told is a dying if not already defunct but the truth is I like it and would like to continue to use it.   My problem is that I cannot find any info on how to use CR13 in VB6.   If it was just a matter of running a pre-defined report I guess that can be done, but it somewhat defeats me how to pass parameters and variables to the report.   It seems a long  way removed from CR6 but willing to give CR13 a good go in the hope of making it work, as I have nothing but praise for my comfortable (for 10 years) CR6
    Any help very gratefully accepted with hat in hand.

    And to add to all that, VB 6 is dead along time ago. We no longer have any SDK that will work in VB 6 now. No COM components and VB 6 does not support .NET framework.
    Only option is to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010, 2012 or 2013 and use CR for VS.

  • OfficeJet K60 printing help needed

    Hi everyone,
    I recently made the switch from Windows to Mac. I'm happy except that I can't get my HP OfficeJet K60 to print. I have it connected via USB and the printer setup utility easily recognized it. When I attempt to print, the printer utility will show that the document is "sending" for several minutes to the printer and then just stops as though sending and printing was completed, but nothing prints out and it doesn't appear as though the printer recognizes any input.
    Any suggestions? I have OS X 10.4.6 which already has Footmatic/hpijs as part of the setup? I have looked up old responses to the question, but they all refer to downloading hpijs, but it is already on my new powerbook and it still won't print. I love my k60 and don't want to have to toss it because of this problem.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Yovi

    I have the exact same computer, operating system, and printer, and I am stuck as well. Have you had any luck yet? It doesn't look like there are any OSX drivers for this printer and OSX doesn't have the K60 as an option for HP printers... this is a dubie

  • Difference between config toll and visual admin

    HI all,
      Please let me know all Difference between config toll and visual admin.
    and Purpose and how to start.
    Thanks & Regards,
    satish k

    Hi Satish,
    SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 provides three basic tools for administration u2013
    Visual Administrator,
    Console Administrator, and
    Config Tool (both Visual and Console).
    There are some other tools namely DBTool, Library Tool, RMIC Tool, Shutdown Tool, and User Tool also used.
    First part
    Difference between config toll and visual admin:-Visual Administrator is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.On the other hand with the help of Config Tool you are able to add and configure SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 cluster elements.Again Config Tool can be used without a running SAP J2EE Engine 6.20. The only requirement is to have the server installed on the local machine.
    Visual Administrator is written in the Java programming language and can be run in any environment where a Java Virtual Machine is available.On the other hand Config Tool is XML-based, which enables third-party visualizations to be developed or integrated as part of a more complicated configuration system.
    Visual Administrator enables remote monitoring and management of the cluster, and for each cluster element, and enables the system administrator to monitor all managers and services working on each node in a single GUI & its online.cofig tool on the otherhand offline.
    Second part Purpose
    "Visual Administrator":-with the help of this tool you can able to login & logout from the server.It gives you all the details regarding different services running in your SAP server.As already mentioned that with the help of VA we enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.
    "Config Tool":-Config Tool enables you to run the server in remote debug mode.
    Again Config Tool enables you to add dispatcher and server nodes to the SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 Cluster.With the help of config tool we are enable to modification of service or manager module properties.
    Third part Start procedure
    "Visual Administrator" check the below link

  • Hyperlinks do not work when exporting to PDF (Crystal and Visual Cut)

    I have a question about Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Visual Cut 11. I create reports in Crystal and export them using Visual Cut. Some reports contain hyperlinks to files on a network drive. However, the links only work while in Crystal. The PDF files that are printed through Visual Cut display the links, but they are not clickable. How can this issue be fixed?
    In case it helps, the links also work when I export reports from Crystal to HTML, Word, and Excel, but not when I export to Acrobat. I believe it is a problem with tagging/accessibilityfeatures. So is there a setting/formula in Crystal or Visual Cut that would allow the exported PDF files to be accessible?

    While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks.  Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

  • Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

    For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
    Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
    INITIAL CLEANUP
    Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
    Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
    CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
    BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
    Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
    Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
    Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
    Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
    Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port). 
    Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
    In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
    Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
    MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
    (Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
    You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
    Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
    Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
    Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
    Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
    Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
    Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
    Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
    WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!! 
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
    At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
    INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
    Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
    Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
    From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
    After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
    Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
    Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
    Run Windows Update.
    You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
    INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
    I installed the following in that order:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
    I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
    I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
    MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
    Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
    Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274. 
    Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
    I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
    The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
    I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
    The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
    So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.
    Solved!

    Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
    Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
    Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.
