if u use the windows XP it's no problem to install your driver printer. u must check all cable and than Go to Control panel - clik printer and other hardware - clik add printer. Maybe your CD-rom is not Working. try it first & Good luck.

lift the hood and see if its there, if not try the documentation that came with the printer. if you don't have one , go to HP and click on support. there should be an on line manual that will show you.

Go to your hardware profiles under system in the control panel. See if it's there at all. Check your cables. Restart the computer after an install. If this doesn't work, go to add-remove programs in the control panel and remove the software. Go to printers and remove it if it's there  too. Turn off the computer. Make sure the printer is connected and on. Turn computer on. Computer should say it found new hardware. Install from the cd that came with it. If this doesn't work, drink a six-pack and call customer support in the morning.

Use the cd software that came with the printer or...\nIf you have windows follow these instructions, first click the start button, look for the control pannel shortcut then click on it, find the printers and other hardware option, then click add a printer, it should bring you to a wizard, click Next, then change the options that may apply to you, it should then look for a printer, if it cannot locate the printer you will have to install it manually by clicking next, choose the port you want to use to locate your printer and then click next, after that click the brand of you printer, then select your version of your printer, click next and you should be done.\n(note: this will only work on windows and may vary if you do not use windows xp)

First check your cables....printer connected to the appropriate port on your computer, and power cord plugged in.  Next, turn your printer ON.  Then reboot your pc.  Now place the installation disk in the CD drive and follow instructions from there.

If the printer upstairs is attached to another PC, then go to the Printers folder and make sure that you have 'SHARED' that printer, then you will probably have to install the printer drivers too, it will ask you if it is locally connected or on a network, choose network. the rest is plain sailing.\nOr you can walk upstairs and plug that printer into your usb port, AFTER installing the printer drivers.\nIf the upstairs printer is a networked printer - i.e. NOT attached to a PC, then on installing the printer driver it will again ask you if it is networked, and search for it.

Open the Faxes and Printers on your computer. Can you see your Printer on the list? If not then install the appropriate printer for your printer. Restart and try again.

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DISK\n\n1) Connect the printer cable to the appropriate port on your computer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. \n\n2) Plug the power cord of the printer into a wall outlet and turn the printer on. \n\n3) Open Printers and Faxes. \n\n4)Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next. \n\n5)Click Local printer or stand-alone network printer, clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next. \n\n6) Most computers use a parallel port (LPT1) to send information to a printer that's directly attached to the computer. So in the Use the following port list, click LPT1: (Recommended Printer Port), and then click Next. Some plotters, however, may connect to the computer through one of the serial (COM) ports. If that's the case for you, click one of the serial (COM) ports. \n\n7) Follow the directions that appear. \nWhen you are finished, the printer appears in Printers and Faxes. If you want to print a test page, first make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print.

The one thing that you didn't mention trying is this: Uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer. Do you have the cd that came with the printer? If you do not, you can download the drivers from the HP website. ALSO you might want to see if there are updated drivers on the HP website --- Hope this helps!

You might try visiting the website for the manufacturer of your printer, download the driver for your particular printer, and install it.

Your problem is that you let Windows install the drivers.  You have to follow the instructions in the manual which state and I am paraphrasing "do not install using the Windows new hardware found wizard".  You have to install the drivers from the CD menu, NOT WINDOWS new hardware found wizard.  Don't ask me why, that's the way it is.  It's not the printer... it's not your hardware... it's the fact you DID NOT follow the instructions in the manual.  Go back to a time before you installed the drivers and for your sake... read the instructions.  I have the same printer... I can read directions.\n\nSaid directions are also on the quickstart guide... so... I won't say anything else.

I just installed a networked printer on my network.  I had to install the printer drivers onto the computer that isn't hooked to the printer as well for it to work.  It could also be your firewall.  I had to get my firewall set up correctly.  Once I did, everything works fine now.

if you goto your "my computer" and go to program files...it the program should still be there.  Open the file and look for the setup and reinstall.\n\ncheers \nmg
