Re: Detecting HP T65 Office Jet through USB / Install new hardware pop

Hi. I have the same problem with a HP 1300 using USB. Under
controlpanel/system/check out the IEEE1284.4 connection - you will
probably find your printer there. But apparently Vista can not attach
a proper driver to a 1284.4 device. Through HP chat-service I
received the following link:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software8/COL17364/dj-46093-3/HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe
This program appears to correctly install the USB DOT4 port used for
USB printing - but on my system (Vista Home Premium) it does not work.

So, like you, I wait for a solution from the web/and/or HP support.
If you find a solution, pls let me know.

Hi
This is driving me nuts. I have an HP T65 'all in one' office
jet printer
and a (newish) Toshiba Laptop (less than 2 yrs old) running
Win XP. I have
downloaded and installed T65 drivers for XP. I have replaced
the parrellel
connection cable from the printer with a USB connection as the
laptop does
not have a parrellel port.

The first time I installed the printer drivers only the
printer drivers
installed (and I printed a successful test page), so I
uninstalled and
re-installed drivers to try and get the scan and fax drivers
as well, which
appears to have worked as I have the HP Office Manager desktop
shortcut
available.

Now, having reinstalled the drivers when I plug in the USB
connection the
computer 'chimes' to indicate a new piece of hardware, but the
'install new
hardware' pop-up does not pop up, and trying to manually
detect the printer
through the 'install new hardware' in control panel does not
work as it does
not detect the printer.

USB Printing Support has appeared in the Device Manager pane
under system
properties.

The problem appears to be the 'install new hardware' now does
not pop-up
after plugging in the printer, and I can't get the damn unit
installed by
going through the hardware detection route - yet the first
time I went
through the process it detected and I was able to install the
printer.

Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
