Solve : HP printer Q? |
|
Answer» Hello - my first time here. I had to take my HP 1350 printer away from the computer and when I decided to set it up again it indicates that I need a startup cd for the WIZARD to run. I cannot find one anywhere here - is there a site where I can get such ? Thanks, steve in so azI suggest you GO to HP 1350 printer, select the exact product you have, and download the Software & driver for it. Thanks for helping me out. I went there and it looks like I have to buy the cd - is this normal ? Seems like they would download one to me free. I am not real knowledgeable about computers so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, steveYou can download the basic driver free, but the bundled software has to be ordered and paid for from HP. What are they wanting to charge for it? That is standard for elaborate printers and many scanners.Hold the phone ! Think I have it. It's downloading now - will take 2 hours Thanks, steveOn SECOND THOUGHT it's up to almost 3 hours now so think I'll try to call them instead and see if they can send a cd. thanks, steveQuote You can download the basic driver free, but the bundled software has to be ordered and paid for from HP.

That is standard for elaborate printers and many scanners.Well, since he owns the printer and probably had the bundled software when originally purchased it, I believe he may be permitted to download the software, also. Right? Indeed, it appears he can download it. Have a look: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&cc=us&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN&product=306888&dlc=en&os=228 Some of the models do NOT have free downloads for the additional software period. Been there, seen that. OK, I'll accept that Some of the models do NOT have free downloads. But, the link you posted, which relates to his model printer, has a link to this page, HP Photosmart Essential software for photo editing, printing, and sharing, which appears to have no restriction. It appears to be available to anyone. I started the download, but interrupted it. Drivers are always free? :-?Right. But, at least sometimes, software, in addition to the driver, is free, such as [highlight]HP Photosmart Essential software for photo editing, printing, and sharing[/highlight]. This appears to be more than a printer driver; it appears to be photo editing software.That is true on this printer at this time, SB. I have the identical printer and when looking for updated drivers a few MONTHS back, the big download with the imaging software was NOT available for download at all. That's why I said "been there..."Quote Right.

This appears to be more than a printer driver; it appears to be photo editing software. Oh, right, I evade that kind of software like the plague. |
