did you get a cd with software for you printer with the printer? It usually says unknown device if you dont have any printer drivers for that model of printer. Usually they come with it or you can download form the manufacturers site
yeah I've the driver CD for the printer but the installation goes well until the software prompts me to connect the printer cable but it doesn't detect the cable that's when a pop up on the task bar says the device (printer/cable)has malfunctioned and cannot be
change a high quality usb cable, that might slove the problem
Caros colegas,
Não adianta instalar o drive que vem no CD de instalação ou o do Site oficial da HP.
O esclarecimento da empresa HP é de que o win7 ainda não está homologado e que a empresa não está obrigada a fornecer o drive para um sistema "beta".
o negócio é procurar em sites nos Estados unidos onde alguem tenha conseguido fazer a impressora funcionar com drive similar.
