    printer won't work after windows 10 installed


    My HP C4280 all in one won't install after the windows 10 upgrade. I have unplugged and replugged everything, tried manual install . The troubleshooter says it has fixed it by clearing the queue but there was nothing in the queue and it isn't fixed. I get a message that the print is in an error state with no instructions on how to change that.

    Anybody been able to fix this?

    :)

    Virtual Pdf Printer Driver Won't install and Fixes won't work

    You might be able, if needed, to get the old version, here at oldapps web site (disclaimer: I do not vouch for this site... check any and downloads with your fav malware/antivirus apps): Old Version of PrimoPDF for Windows XP

    PrimoPDF forums are down it seems... however, I found this at PCReview forums, quote from "Unable to Install "Software" Printers":

    Same solution on MSDN thread, "cannot install printer driver in XP Embedded":

    printer won't work on network but will over usb

    his printer has a built-in print server.

    What you need to know what ip is being give to the printer. Perhaps you can print a status sheet from the printer.

    Then Go to printers in control panel

    add a new printer

    local printer attached, uncheck automatically detect and install PnP printer

    create a new port, select standard tcp/ip port

    a new window should open and enter the ip there where it says printer name or IP address (port name then should be also be filled as you go)

    and pretty much follow the rest of the steps, you will need to install the printer drivers.


    These steps is the easy, but not the right way.

    The right way is to use the network option on the initial screw and search for the printer server...but that can be tricky to configure.

    printer won't work after windows 10 installed

    Virtual Pdf Printer Driver Won't install and Fixes won't work

    Been having issues installing PrimoPDF on my system (Windows XP SP3) following a total reinstall of Windows XP SP3 - never had an issue before installing it. (Ironicly, I had to do the total reinstall of WinXP due to a real printer not instaling properly!)

    I am currently getting the 1797 error, (and in safe mode I got 1722,)

    I have tried every possible fix I could find on line - I reinsalled window's installer, I cleared the registry and old files, I tried a clean boot, I tried safe mode, etc.

    I'm stumped actually on this one. I don't feel up to reinstalling WinXP and my system drivers again.

    Any suggestions?

    Now the funny thing is, in the add printer section, the virual port for the PrimoPDF does show up.
