Selecting a printer that works with my PC.

New PC is Inspiron 530 with 64bit processor. How do I choose a printer for this PC? I already have an HP 932 deskjet printer but it doesn't work through the USB port and I failed to purchase a printer with my new PC.

Hp color laserjet 2550l need driver for my mac

Sir/Madam

The latest HP printer driver for devices listed below are built into Mac OS X 10.6. You do not need to download or reinstall any HP software for full printing functionality.
HP LaserJet print drivers are included in Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and also available via Apple Software Updates.

Please Visit official HP Printer website Below Link URL:
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c01844302-4%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken#N1000E

K8600 won't print tabloid after upgrading to Windows 7. I have installed the latest drivers and restarted the computer, but so far nothing has worked.

Win7 HP Tabloid wont print -

- Open the HP K8600 Printer from Devices & Printers

- Select Customize your Printer / Advanced Tab

- Click the 'Print Processor button at the bottom of the dialog

- Choose the "winprint" print processor option instead of the HP one.

Leave the Default data type as "RAW"


This should work with the current Win7driver (these are downloaded when you select 'new driver' from the advanced dialog and then 'Windows update' a couple of screens later. There is HP driver (V13 I believe from January( that has been recommended by others, bu I have yet to need it...

I'nm trying to install an HP Officejet 4300 driver

  1. Remove your previous installation of that printer. Delete the printer icon in the Printer's folder if there exists.
  2. Reinstall the printer. During installation, choose Custom Install if there is an option like that.
  3. Then choose to install ONLY the printer DRIVERS and do not install the HP Software bundled with the printer. The HP Imaging software conflicts with screen resolution of some devices. Give it a try and see if you can use your printer installed that way.

I want to connect my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop (basic vista)to HP 7550 printer. What type of usb cord do I need, and are drivers available online?

Assuming this is a Photosmart 7550 printer and not the 7550 Plotter, this is what you will need for connectivity. To connect printer to PC, you will need a standard USB A/B cable... one side is a male A connector and the other one a male B connector. As far as the drivers are concerned, you will not need to download any. Vista already has a compatible driver for your HP Photosmart 7550. HP recommends selecting the drivers for the Deskjet 5550 when installing your Photosmart 7550.

HP PSC 1210 stopped working on a Dell desktop running Vista

Uninstall the drivers again, restart the computer, turn off antivirus, install drivers again, plug cable to another usb port when prompt, if firewall shows pop up window always choose allow or yes. Also make sure that printer is not working "off line", go to control panel, printers and faxes, right click on the printer that you want to use, check if it says "use printer off line", if it does, click on it and it will change to on line.

Installing HP Printer Drivers on an Inspiron mini 10

lmao have you tried using the universal drivers they have... seem to work for most things when nothing works...

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=503548

but really the mini's are new ground for manufacturers that are used to tech support being able to troubleshoot issues they didnt "forsee" in the board room.

Good Luck and dont forget to rate me,

Old speakers will not work with new Dell Inspiron 530

Speakers are pretty much universal. Plug them in, and connect the audio cable to the green receptacle on the computer.
