Hey there all! There's hope!
I tried installing the HP Photosmart 7200 Series to work for my HP OfficeJet Pro L7650 All In One Printer. It didn't work for the first time...but I persisted.
Odd Thing: When I went back to try the 2nd time there were far more HP options to choose from then (20mins.) there was earlier. Go figure???
I downloaded the HP Photosmart L7600 series and it worked! I printed a page!!!!!
One thing I did differently: Instead of using the drop down option (Dot) I used the following: USB001 (Virtual Printer Port for USB)
I know some of you used the (Dot) option and it worked....
Step by Step Instructions: Turn your PC off Turn your printer off Turn both back on Go to "Start" Go to "Control Panel" Go to "Hardware and Sound" Click "Printer" Click "Add Printer" located in Tabs-top of window Read options: "Use an existing Port"---Click Drop Down Arrow Here and Try Option 1: USB001 (Virtual Printer Port for USB
If this doesn't work try
Option 2: Dot4_001 (Generic IEEE 1284.4 Printing Support)
Click "Next" Select "HP" under Manufacturer Select "HP OfficeJet Pro L7600" or "HP Photosmart 7200)" Click "Next"
The program will install and let you know that it installed successfully. It will then run a test print page. If it works-congratulations!
If it didn't: I advise deleting the "HP L7600 or HP 7200 series" you downloaded and go through the steps again. Find the closest match to your series and download. You will eventually find the one that works for you-I did!
Rememeber! Delete the series that didn't work for you before downloading another series.
Baby steps...
