How to restore HP Printer Tool Box. It has vanished. Attempted to restore it from the set up disc but it says I need permission from the administrator. I am the administrator !

Well then... I would start it in safe mode and do system restore, unless you want to continuously operate in safe mode...

These solutions are not helpful and do not address the issue. The error is related to the printer driver settings not a jam in the printer.

Hi,

1. Perform System restore:
If the printer software was previously installed on the computer anytime before or even if the original issue was anything else before this error, then try restoring the computer to the date on which the software was working. You can then do add a device from the installation screen. The printer would start working fine as the software would already be available after doing a system restore.
2. Uninstall the complete Software.
Perform L1, L2, and L3 uninstall. Then reinstall the s/w.
3. Insert the CD & start the install, select custom install.
Under options select only "HP Drivers (required)" in order to install only the print/scan/fax drivers. If drivers will be successfully installed, you can add one by one the HP software starting again the installation and selecting Install More Software button & install the software in this order:
• HP Solution Center
• HP Device Functions
• OCR Software
Do not install HP Participation Program or HP Customer Experience or HP Supply.
4. Grant full permission to the system
Right click on My Computer, go to properties\security\Group or user names\ select the customer’s user name & click on permissions. Click to select the Full Control check box under Allow, and then click Advanced. Check both the boxes under advanced window. Click OK & close all the windows & restart the PC. Install the software by following customer install method.
5. Make sure that you have write access rights enabled for the following registry keys:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-2\
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers.

In order to provide the write access, right click on the folder and click permissions. In the permissions window select the customer’s user name or ‘Everyone’ and give a check mark for full access.
Then install the drivers again.

all the best

open up the solution center click on settings view either the printer tool box or printer settings then the printer tool box

i think the problem is on that software.pls check the software cd or DVd. if it is fully compatible with windows vista.

Instead of clicking the printer icon, select File > Print and verify the correct printer is selected.

Alright, if I understand you...You possibly lost the original operating system disc for your HP Pavilion, and your daughter used a Windows XP restore disc, and now it is asking you to register the software?

AND you also lost the set-up software for your Internet provider?

HP director? the admin utility. most likely yes...Photo viewer, most likely NOT...are the 3 that can't set up differently(permissions) than the other five?

In admin mode, you need to add the client to printer permissions

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group.

To assign this user right, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
2. Click Computer Configuration, click Windows Settings, click Security Settings, click Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
