Many printers have a button that displays a blue wireless icon when a wireless connection option for the printer is available. Make sure the printer’s wireless option is turned on and available.
#Change printer icons in windows 7 windows#
I wholeheartedly thank all of you four your help.Check the cables (for wired printers). Make sure that the printer's USB cable is properly connected from the printer to your PC. If your USB isn’t recognized, see Automatically diagnose and fix Windows USB problems.Ĭheck the wireless connection (for wireless printers). That is not a W10 issue and I am marking this thread solved. If I see a Laserjet installed again I think I will attribute the change to HP, which keeps giving my printer its own internet access to the outside world. My original issue is not solved, but maybe it won't come back. The tutorial you sent me to was straightforward enough that I did it. However, the newer operating systems are so layered and convoluted that I am reluctant to engage with them.
(Then we moved to Assembly Language - Hooray!) Along the way I was a pretty good DOS jockey and then programmed university library services that used databases. Thank you.īack in the day, I first learned computer programming in machine language (ones and zeros) on the IBM 650. I finally followed your earlier pointer to create a shortcut on the desktop for the print queue of the 8720. I ran the printer troubleshooter and it found no problems. I have tried the instruction to right-click on the taskbar. I have not made any updates, these were both automatic.ĭalchina, I turned on the printer and no printer icon appeared in the tray.

I think Windows has made 2 updates since this problem began. TV2, First, I followed your earlier suggestion and found that "Let Windows manage your devices and printers" was already unchecked.Ībout 5 or 6 weeks elapsed between me straightening out the HP reinstall and this issues (I am used to not having the risk of deleting the printer instead of just a print job!) Can I just put an icon for the print queue and save some clicks? I think I can also put an icon for the printer, but I don't want to have all of the printer options, just the queue. The closest I could find was to put an icon for Devices and Printers. Due to my constant need to clear the print queue, I looked for a way to put a print queue icon on the desktop, as I have done in Vista and Windows 7.
(Print and scan doctor reports each time that it found and fixed issues.) This is getting old. However, whenever I restart Word, and sometimes when I just want to print again, at least half of the time it does not print and again I find the document in the print queue, clear it, run the print and scan doctor, and get one or two more jobs printed and the issue recurs. The default printer remained as the 8720 and I deleted the Laserjet. I cleared the print queue again and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I marked the 8720 as the default printer and again the job did not print, although it had been directed to the 8720. There is no Laserjet and I had not visited any device settings. For the past couple of weeks I have had issues with printing on my HP 8720.įirst, I found that a Laserjet had been installed and the job had been being directed to that. I use the more classic form of the interface.
