Fax Service: Can You Use A Printer With A New Computer Even Though You Don’t Have The CD To Install It?
I have an HP Printer that I absolutely love. The only problem is that I can’t use it with the new computer that I brought because I lost the disk to install the software and I had to buy a whole new printer. The new printer that I brought is an Epson 500 Workforce and I hate the damn thing because it’s big, bulky, and I have no idea where to pit the paper. It’s basically all around confusing and even though my HP lacked a fax I would take it over the new printer any day. So my question is can I use the HP with my new computer even though I don’t have the software CD for it?
yes
i don’t think so because with my printer it took me forever to figure out why won’t print then i saw that disk and i’m like what the hell. so i saw the software cd programmed it and it worked ughh so frustrating. i think you might be able to buy a new cd or negotiate with someone to get it. you might be able to get someone with that same printer type get their cd and use that on your computer
Yes, you can download the software from the HP website, you do not need the CD. I haven’t used a CD to install a printer in 10 years. I just go to the website if it needs extra drivers, because often the CD is outdated anyways.
yes you can get the drivers online at hp website

Hi,
you can get the drivers/software for your HP printer from the HP website. Click on the link given below and enter the model number of your printer to get correct software. Once found, follow the onscreen instructions to successfully install it.
Feel free to contact me through email anytime. I am online 24*7 and if offline, do leave a message and I would get back to you asap.
Give your answer to this question please!

What is a good asking price for my computer? – Fax Free
Posted by in Fax Free on January 12, 2012
Question: What is a good asking price for my computer?
I have a Dell computer that I had purchased NEW for $ 2500 two and a half years ago. I am not a techie at all, so I need to know what I need to put in the ad. Hardrive is an inspiron 530 with a 16″ flat screen monitor. Operating system is Vista. I am getting rid of it because I live in a small house and am buying lots of furniture, with no more room to fit my computer. I am thinking about buying a laptop instead. I have some speakers with a subwoofer and a printer that was also bought new (Photo 966 with fax). What other pieces of info do I need? Also wondering what a reasonable price would be.
usually what I do when I’m trying to find what something might be worth I goto ebay, and search for it to see what people are trying to sell it for and what people are willing to buy it for. Unfortunately your PC alone isn’t worth more then 0 at the most you might be able to tack on another for the monitor. in order to try to sell it you will need to list the Processor type and speed, the amount of system memory, hard drive size, Operating system, and Video card.
Here is the price for one off of Amazon
Price: 5.45
Is that price a typo? The top-line Inspiron 530 with a dual-core intel processor sold for just over 0 full retail price, directly from Dell. This particular system was also offered with a single-core, crippled celeron processor. I don’t know how much Dell would have charged for that…but the full retail price would have been less than 0 if Dell had priced it properly.
Even 2 or 3 years ago, a 16″ flat screen monitor would have been 200 or 300 bucks, maximum. Depending on brand. Speakers? Good ones with subwoofer are about or less. I don’t know what Photo 966 with fax is. I’m assuming this is some multi-function Dell inkjet machine with scanner? Worth about 0 new, maybe.
When that entire system INCLUDING EVERYTHING was brand new, it would have sold for less than a thousand dollars, full retail price. How did you manage to over-pay for that system by 00 dollars or so????
The question is moot. How much you paid for it DOES NOT MATTER. If you are selling it, you need to price it by how much it is worth TODAY, and NOT what you think it might have been worth two or three years ago. After all, you aren’t selling this system in 2007, you are selling it in 2010. And it’s not new now, it is well used.
5 used is a rough estimate of what the system box is worth, according to the specs. I could find for the inspiron 530. But if you are tossing in the monitor, speakers w/subwoofer and multifunction printer…all that together is worth a little over 0 used.
If you are selling this all as a complete system with monitor, printer and speakers…
Ask 0 for it and accept any offer over 0.
Note, you MIGHT be able to convince someone to pay more than 0 for that system, but it would definitely be overpriced if you priced it over 0.
Used computers aren’t worth much. You’ll be lucky to get 0-0. Dell Inspirons don’t cost anywhere near 00 new.

can i use my computer motherboard and monitor for making any other devices ?

Q&A: can i use my computer motherboard and monitor for making any other devices ?
For the past 5-10 years i am using my personal desktop computer,But now i purchased a lap top for my personal use.So i tried to sell my old PC, but the buyers are askin for a very low price,Which i am not interested for that price.Because,before that i replaced some parts from it,Hence i decided not to sell it.But I would like to use it in other ways like fax machines ….any other device that is useful …with its parts …Can I turn it to other device ?
Not very easily. Most of the chips are specifically designed to do the job that they do now, to be a part of a computer’s motherboard. You can of course use the whole computer for a variety of tasks or to control equipment but it would still be the same thing that it is now. Some smaller components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors and diodes can be used for other purposes, but they only cost pennies for new ones and the ones on your board will have had the wires cut very short, which makes them awkward to use.
You can hardly convert them to other devices. You can take your old hard disk and DVD drive and make it an external drive by adding hard disk enclosure using USB port of your lap top. you can use your old monitor as external display for your lap top. Aside from these, I think the rest can be sold at lower price.

It also depends on how much memory your onboard graphics card has. 256mb should be a minimum

Do I need all of these? Can I get rid of some? What do they do to help or worsen the function of my computer?
If you have no idea which program is which, I would suggest finding someone local (friend or family member) to help you
Yes you can get rid of some of those items. But it depends…
Are you a intermediate or expert computer user. If yes go ahead identify the products you don’t use and uninstall it. But if you are unaware of what these are, best do not uninstall them till you have visible PC performance issues or you run out of harddisk space.
From the info it seems:
You have an HP Atheros x64 PC.
You have:
1. Adobe reader.
2. Windows Essential Pack
3.The SIMs
4.Firefox, Safari (no Chrome)
5. Office Student 2008
6.iTunes.
7. Some runtimes like Java, VC++ etc.
So other than some toolbars (like Windows Live) most look like things you need or use.

When I log on to my computer Window Installer 3.1 keeps attempting to download a Photo gallery & fax program?
Posted by in Fax Software on November 30, 2011
Question: When I log on to my computer Window Installer 3.1 keeps attempting to download a Photo gallery & fax program?
I was given the below answer and when I tried it I was unable to locate the program that keeps pooping up to remove it. Is there a nother option? Go to your start menu click on start,then in the run box write MSCONFIG go to the start up tab and look down the list when you find this program in the list uncheck it.And while you are there uncheck anything that does not need to start at start up
Is this part of the HP Image program?
Sounds like a tough one.
Did you try going back a week or so and do a system restore.
Does the program actually install itself and then keep coming up to install it again? cause if it does then you can use the uninstall.
What type of virus protection do you have and try downloading SPYBOT (it’s free) and see if it helps.
That’s about all i can think of.
I recommend you doing a System Restore to an earlier time when your computer was working fine…….good luck

Hello Experts,

What do I need:
1) I need to send and receive faxes without printing and scanning them.
Example:
Say I have an email and I want to send it by fax to some office, I know the fax number there.
What do I need:
An application that will connect to my Brother fax and receive faxes that sent to me and send faxes to other people using my fax number.
What do I use now and doesn’t work well:
PaperPort that was given with the CC3 suite. I use PC-Fax receive mode. PaperPort doesn’t connect to fax and don’t collect the faxes. Checked the settings and IP and everything configured like it should be.
Please help me and tell me what program does it best, low priority to online, I need a software.
Thanks a lot in advance.
