To install a printer that isn't a driver for Windows 8 in Windows 8:Ģ. If it isn't, then it is not a way to get this printer to install with Windows 8. I want to qualify these measures by saying that I've seen this work with the versions Windows Server that does not support printers. How/where can I get a driver to work on my p7 hp with victory 8 for my hp photosmart 7660 color printer?
How to get driver for hp photosmart 7660 on windows 8 They are mistaken, choose USB001 virtual printer USB port, go to the general tab, click on print test page and you're in business! They say changing the LPT1 to Dot 4, or the largest port. Now right-click on the printer, and then choose Properties from the printer. Click Add printer, select LPT1 port, select HP then choose Deskjet 5600 (HPA) (HP), do not opt to print the page install it once it is completed click Finish. So to anyone who has a HP Photosmart 7660, I solved the question to make the printer work on Windows 7. I love my printer it works very well and have no money to buy a new one, if anyone can help please! I've been online for 2 days now and that you don't know what to do.
When I try to manually install the drivers it sends the test page, but nothing happens. I installed 2 and every time setup it says printer usb not connected, even if it was.
I have trreied install the drivers, but there are 4 different those opposed to Deskjet 5600, it is a driver of 5605 5610 and 3. After 5 days, I have everything except for my printer. Hi, I am really frustrated because I bought W7 Home and did not know that he had to reinstall everything.
HP photosmart 7660 not working not not on Windows 7 Home Edition OS Any ideas where I can get the drivers to run my printer?Īs you can see below, I'm afraid that your printer is not supported on Windows 8: I tried the drivers on the site of HP driver and failed. Windows 8 has no drivers for my printer is a hp photosmart 7660. When you choose Type: "Windows", it automatically chooses the URL as "SMB://" for the path (which then needs the IP address added to it).Recently, I have loaded Windows 8 (64 bit) OS on my desktop. When I had Tiger, no problem, but apparently Leopard is very unforgiving and I do not know what changes have to made in the path. So, since there is no error message, I assume that the "hp photosmart 8200 series" driver would work and the problem is in the path that is set up for the printer. But, nothing occurs at the printer, no pages print, no error messages. "Printing page 1, 16%.", then it closes and the green light on the chosen printer goes to red and "Paused, default".
The strange thing is that when I try to print a page, the messages that appear are: "Opening Printing Connection" and underneath this line, Print Using: selected the "hp photosmart 8200 series" Location: same IP address of the computer to which the printer is attached URL: smb://(the IP address of the computer to which the printer is attached) Neither seemed to work.Ĭhoosing "Advanced" in the Toolbar, I, then, chose The only choices open to me were to choose "IP" or "Advanced". Since I can't get the HP7660 driver, I was told by HP that the hp photosmart 8200 uses the same driver, so I chose this from the list. If I could get in here, maybe I might have some success. One problem is when I choose "Windows" in the Toolbar, everything is greyed out. However, regardless of what I choose, I can't seem to get it to work. I think the problem is that I am not on the network. I did what you did choosing "More Printers" in the toolbar, but when I chose "HP IP Printing", nothing came up.
