I've just done a fresh intall of Windows 7 pro on my Elitebook. When I plugged in the printer for the first time it failed to find one driver online and renders the printer useless.

The funny thing is I still have the original drivers on a disc which I inserted and installed, but the problem is not fixed. Epson Lq 500 Windows 7. A search for a driver online on the hp site lead to a page that said the driver will automatically install when I connect the printer.

Maybe the computer doesn't recognize the drivers I installed. Is there a way to manually install them? Any other ideas? Thanks, Roger. Digital Electronics With Vhdl William Kleitz Pdf Printer. Hi, Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

I read your post on how you cannot install your HP PSC 2175xi on Windows 7. And, I am happy to help! Please try the following: Install the built-in print driver on a USB-connected computer with Windows 7 or Windows Vista. • Search Windows for devices, and then click Devices and Printers in the list of results.

• Click Add a printer. Figure: Clicking Add a printer • Click Add a local printer. Figure: Selecting Add a local printer • Select Use an existing port (USB001: Virtual printer port for USB), and then click Next. • Click Windows Update, and then wait for the print drivers to update. • Click HP, Hewlett-Packard, or Hewlett Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane.

Hope this post resolves your issue!:). Thanks RnRMusicMan, I tried both suggestions without success. I believe the root cause is that my printer is so old (about 10 years) that the original driver software is not compatible with Windows 7.

When I attempted the 'add printer' option, the hp psc 2175 is not listed. I then attempted to select the 'have disk' option and was greeted with this error message: I moved on to the 'how to assign and alternate driver' tutorial. However when I right-click on my printer icon there is no 'printer properties' option. I searched every option available and could not find a place to add 'new driver'. I like this idea, and wonder if there is another way to make it work? Of note, I am able to use the scan function on the printer. Just the not the printer.

Another thing I discovered is that when I open my OpenSuse OS (my computer is dual-booted), it automatically downloaded the correct driver and it works great. So the fact that it is a x64 based system isn't the problem. In the meantime I will just transfer files to my OpenSuse OS and print from there, but it would be nice if there was a work around. Any other ideas?
