HP7310 Driver

[Sean Liming \(MVP\)]

I seen some issues about HP printers with Vista. Here is one that I am
running into.

Hp7310 - connected over the network. Under XP Pro, access the HP 7310 was no
problem.

I downloaded and installed the full Vista software package from the HP
website.

1. If put the system into standby and come out of standby, connection to the
printer is lost. Scanner, printer, fax, etc. are not available. I have to
re-install the HP software package to get everything back. If I just
shutdown the system and power back on, everything is okay. I would like to
put the system into standby once in a while. I have talked to HP tech
support on this issue, but they don't have an answer. Anyone else run into
this one?

2. Duplex printing - prining on two sides - Xp Pro would print great - two
sided printing in book like format. With Vista, a get a flipped page output.
The front and back top and bottom are opposite of each other. No matter what
I change I get a flipped page. Someone mentioned using the HP 6500 driver
instead. Any other suggests, or do we wait for HP to fix the problem?

About a month or so down this newsgroup, I had a thread about the same
problem. And same response from HP. Except that they told me they are not
going even attempt a fix until Vista SP1.......

I have exactly the same problem with my duplexer printing incorrectly! I'm
sorry it's happening to you, but I'm glad to find someone else with the
identical problem. (means it is not me!) I have had absolutely no help from
HP...they just keep passing it back to MS! My printer is a Photosmart 8250
and worked perfectly with the duplexer before I switched to Vista at the end
of January this year. You mentioned the HP 6500 driver...did you try it? If
so, did it work?

My printer is a Photosmart 8250 
and worked perfectly with the duplexer before I switched to Vista at the end 
of January this year.

Is this a fully automatic duplexer like in my LJ2200D or is it a manual
duplexer -- ie that it prints one side of a sheet and stops and puts up on the
screen an image that shows you how to take the sheet out and reinsert it for
printing the other side?

My PS 8250 has manual duplexing and it works fine in XP and in VISTA -- I just
tried it out on the first two pages of a pdf document.

The sheet comes out printed side up, top towards you and you remove it and
reinsert it, still printed side up and top edge in first.

I have not tried multipage duplexing recently and probably only in XP when IIRC
it did not go through and print the odd sides and let you turn a stack round
and print the even sides.

How does that fit in with your experience?

Have you installed the HP Fully Featured software for the PS8250 or are you
just using the basic driver in VISTA?

 

[Guest]

My duplexer is a fully automatic one! Q5582A (Oct. 2005) is what it says on
the bottom of it. It worked like a charm as I said until hooking it up to my
new computer with Vista.

As for your question about whether I am using the basic driver with Vista, I
will have to ask my son-in-law who set up my new computer. He's pretty much a
geek (and I try not to lean on him!), but it is my understanding that there
is still no driver for the duplexer from HP. Am I wrong??

My forte is the use of the programs installed! I do lots of work on
flyers/newsletters/brochures/slides/etc in Publisher, Word and Powerpoint, so
it's most important for me to be able to do "automatic" double sided
printing. As it is now, I am having to do the pages manually and it is
worthless to me this way! As I said before, it WILL print INCORRECTLY just
fine unfortunately!

Have you any other information as to a good driver for the duplexer part?

[Sean Liming \(MVP\)]

Alan from MS in a previous post sent me an update. It works now.

The standby recover solution is hit or miss.

HP wanted me to go to Dell for help. Seems like they didn't get their act
together with Vista support. A bit of a surprise since Vista/Longhorn was in
beta for some time.

Are you saying that there is an update to be had on this site that will make
my printer (duplexer) print correctly on both sides of the page that
Microsoft put out? How do I get it? I really relied on it until the first
week of February since it didn't work after I got my new computer with Vista!!

Flamelady

 

[huwyngr]

but it is my understanding that there 
is still no driver for the duplexer from HP. Am I wrong?? 

I don't directly know since I only have the manual duplexer but since
the manual on installing the automatic duplexer tells you that you have
to do something in the HP Toolkit and from what I remember that is part
of the Fully Featured Software.

On the Photosmart 8250 pages at:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?os=2093&softwa
reitem=ps-48177-1&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=443024&lang=en

is:

» SF_CDD_Full_Non-Network_enu.exe 1/1 (67.39M)

and that is what I downloaded and used to replace the in-the-box driver
in VISTA. Hope you have a broadband connection <g>


Make sure that you follow the instructions carefully and do not have
the USB cable plugged into the PC until the installation procedure or
the Installer in VISTA will try to hijack the installation -- I know!

More important may be the fix that Alan Morris has referred to in this
discussion. Read all the messages but this is the critical one:

Alan Morris was kind enough to share with me an unsupported update for the
HP7300. I don't know if it will work with the 8250. Take a look at his
response to me (off the first branch of responses), and reply to his post to
see if there is a specific solution for the 8250.

[Guest]

Sean suggested I contact you since we have the same problem with HP. My
printer is a Photosmart 8250 with the fully automatic Q5582A (Oct. 2005)
duplexer. It worked with no problems for me and I used it a lot until I
switched to Vista. Now it just turns the paper over and prints upside down on
the back which is useless for me!!! Will the fix you shared with Sean help me
with my 8250?

Alan,

Thanks. I just sent you an e-mail, but received a bounce back from the

I took care of the 8250 for flamelady.

So HP told me support was informing customers that they are working on a
fix. Requests dropped off in June so it sounded like they took care of the
issue. I'll keep helping out HP support but I'll keep my day job.

I want to thank you so very much! I had to wait for my son-in-law to get home
from work so that he could apply the fix for me. He just finished and it
works great...although my computer is now very slow to talk to, or respond to
the printer. BUT IT WORKS and my son-in-law will take care of the slowness
I'm sure within the next few days. He's on call tonight and was not able to
do more tonight. He's an IT Supervisor for AT&T.

I just want to thank you both, Sean and Alan, for your help. I really
appreciate your taking time to do something for a complete stranger. I'm a
Christian lady and I want to say God bless you both! I'm glad to see that HP
is getting back on the stick too!

For slow printing, verify the BUD file is getting regenerated. You may need
to stop and start the spooler service again.

I want to thank you all for the help, but the BUD files didn't regenerate. I
have so much trouble now with Word and Publisher that I can't do the work I
need to in a timely manner. I had my son-in-law take the fix off my computer
and put it back to where I was before the fix. I guess I will just wait until
HP and Microsoft are ready with a full true patch for my printer duplexer. In
the meantime I will just turn my pages manually. My son-in-law's work
speeded it up, but not enough to make it worth it for me since it affected my
programs.

@flamelady - Since the the 7300 series is close to the 7400 series I
have I am posting another solution for "fixing" the screwed duplex
printing on HP AIOs.

I am hopeful this helps.

BTW, I think that whatever Microsoft and HP did to screw this up is
indicative of the unfinished (beta) state of Vista. I am finding that
Vista is way more trouble than it is worth. Eye candy doesn't go very
far.

I received this from HP late in May 2007, and it works for my 7410. I
am still looking for a fix for my G95:

As you mentioned you are unable to print two side document from
Officejet 7410xi in Windows Vista.

I suggested to install alternate drivers to fix this issue.

Here are the steps please perform to install alternate drivers.

Step 1. Installing the Alternate drivers
Step 2. Creating a TCP/IP port
Step 3: Configure the alternate printer driver

Step 1. Installing the Alternate drivers:
-----------------------------------------

1. Click on start-->Control panel--->Hardware and sounds-->printes.
2. Double-click the Add Printer icon. Click Next.
3. When prompted, choose Local, and then click Next.
4. In the Manufacturers list, choose HP.
5. In the Printer list, choose the HP Deskjet 6500 printer, and then
click Next.
6. Choose the port as parallel port, and then click Next.
7. The printer name should be listed as HP Deskjet 6500 Printer.
8. Click No when the "Do you want your Windows based programs to use
this printer as your default printer?" message appears. Then click
Next.
9. Click No when the "Would you like to print a test page
(recommended)"
message appears. Then, click Finish.

Step 2. Creating a TCP/IP port:
--------------------------------

1.Start, Control Panel, and then select Printer.
2.Click File and then click Server Properties.
3.Select the Ports tab, and then click Add Port.
4.Select TCP/IP Port and create a new port.
5.Type the IP address of the Printer(which is printed in the network
configuration page) and proceed with the onscreen instructions.

Step 3: Configure the alternate printer driver:
------------------------------------------------
