I could not use hp deskjet 3900 in windows 7

<< < (2/2)

They just dont make drivers for such old printers. My laserjet is an HP. I find their lasers to be way better than their inkjets.

Hi, Shane.  I enquired about your model and asked to wait for its arrival in a couple of days, i surfed for solution in the net. I found the solution.Windows updates automatically updates the 2 files , printer and usb port support file to your system. But since i tried to run thro the cd before knowing this , there was automatically loaded file folder created in the spool directory in windows default folder , ie system 32., in the aborted process . There i deleted the contents of the w32x86 folder, but not the folder. The spool folder is located in windows\system 32 folder.Once that is done, I deleted the printer device properly and rebooted the system. Then went to the printer and faxes folder , click add printer and allowed windows to automatically find the updates. Then the problem solved. If it is first installation of printer, then TITO's would have solved the problem long back.

the link for total uninstall and all
