Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"

Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.

QUESTION: What Operating Systems are compatible with this media sense calibration utility?
ANSWER: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2K, and Windows NT.
QUESTION: How often should I run this utility?
ANSWER: Run this utility once. The media sense accuracy does not change over time. There is no advantage to running this utility periodically.
QUESTION: Are there any special system requirements?
ANSWER: No. This utility can be run from any Windows PC that meets the minimum product system requirements.
QUESTION: The printer picks a sheet then ejects it to the Out tray. The page has no printout. Is this all it does?
ANSWER: After the printer picks a sheet you should see a blue light appear. This blue light is part of the media sense calibration process. There is no printout on the ejected sheet.
QUESTION: I have gone into my driver and turned off media sense as the default setting ("Automatic" is not the default paper type). Will this utility recalibrate my media sense values?
ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: What if I continue to experience slow printing on plain paper or print quality problems on photo media?
ANSWER: Slow printing and print quality issues can be caused from other problems. Review information in the hp support web pages for other possible causes for these symptoms. If you need assistance contact the HP Customer Care Center.

Download and run this media sense calibration utility to reset the media sense values in your printer.

ANSWER: Run this utility once. The media sense accuracy does not change over time. There is no advantage to running this utility periodically.
QUESTION: Are there any special system requirements?
ANSWER: No. This utility can be run from any Windows PC that meets the minimum product system requirements.
QUESTION: The printer picks a sheet then ejects it to the Out tray. The page has no printout. Is this all it does?

ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: What if I continue to experience slow printing on plain paper or print quality problems on photo media?

Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download Now button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.
The printer may now be reinstalled by carefully following the set up instructions from the setup poster, the manual, or the web.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.
The printer may now be reinstalled by carefully following the set up instructions from the setup poster, the manual, or the web.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.

When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.

Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.
The printer may now be reinstalled by carefully following the set up instructions from the setup poster, the manual, or the web.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.
The printer may now be reinstalled by carefully following the set up instructions from the setup poster, the manual, or the web.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.
The printer may now be reinstalled by carefully following the set up instructions from the setup poster, the manual, or the web.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.

QUESTION: What Operating Systems are compatible with this media sense calibration utility?
ANSWER: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2K, and Windows NT.
QUESTION: How often should I run this utility?
ANSWER: Run this utility once. The media sense accuracy does not change over time. There is no advantage to running this utility periodically.
QUESTION: Are there any special system requirements?
ANSWER: No. This utility can be run from any Windows PC that meets the minimum product system requirements.
QUESTION: The printer picks a sheet then ejects it to the Out tray. The page has no printout. Is this all it does?
ANSWER: After the printer picks a sheet you should see a blue light appear. This blue light is part of the media sense calibration process. There is no printout on the ejected sheet.
QUESTION: I have gone into my driver and turned off media sense as the default setting ("Automatic" is not the default paper type). Will this utility recalibrate my media sense values?
ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: What if I continue to experience slow printing on plain paper or print quality problems on photo media?
ANSWER: Slow printing and print quality issues can be caused from other problems. Review information in the hp support web pages for other possible causes for these symptoms. If you need assistance contact the HP Customer Care Center.

QUESTION: The printer picks a sheet then ejects it to the Out tray. The page has no printout. Is this all it does?
ANSWER: After the printer picks a sheet you should see a blue light appear. This blue light is part of the media sense calibration process. There is no printout on the ejected sheet.
QUESTION: I have gone into my driver and turned off media sense as the default setting ("Automatic" is not the default paper type). Will this utility recalibrate my media sense values?
ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: What if I continue to experience slow printing on plain paper or print quality problems on photo media?
ANSWER: Slow printing and print quality issues can be caused from other problems. Review information in the hp support web pages for other possible causes for these symptoms. If you need assistance contact the HP Customer Care Center.

Description: Use this utility when:
The USB driver installs part way, then the driver will not install. The Add New Hardware Wizard will not appear or one of the following conditions will occur.
After selecting Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard during a USB install, the HP Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear.
Plugging in the USB cable causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to appear on the screen briefly. The USB port driver loads, and the Printer Driver Installation screen fails to appear. There is no interaction required from the user in this scenario.
After printing successfully with the printer installed on the USB port and then uninstalling the printer driver, attempts to reinstall it fail.
Information:
The computer will not recognize the printer a second time (as described above) because during the first installation keys and folders are put into the computer's registry. The uninstaller on the installation CD will not delete these keys and folders that refer to the printer, therefore it appears to the computer that the printer is installed and will not allow it to be installed a second time. These printer entries in the registry need to be deleted. HP has developed an uninstaller utility that will delete all of the unnecessary printer references from the registry.
Instructions for running the USB Uninstall Utility from the Web site:
Unplug the USB cable from either the printer or the computer.
Click the Download button. The next screen should have a dot in the button next to "Save this program to disk", if not, select it.
Click OK.
In the Save in field, click the arrow to see the dropdown menu, select Desktop. Make note of the name in the File Name field.
Click Save. The file will be save to the Windows Desktop.
Close the web browser.
When the Desktop appears, double click the xxx.exe file just saved to the Desktop.
In the Unzip to folder field, click the Browse button to see the drop down menu, select Desktop, and click OK.
Click Unzip. A message "2file(s) unzipped successfully" will appear. Click OK
Close the Winzip Self Extractor window.
Find the new HP icon on the Desktop labeled scr_xxx.exe. (xxx will be the model number of the printer.
Double click the HP icon. This will only take seconds.
Click Yes when asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?"
The computer will restart.

QUESTION: Are there any special system requirements?
ANSWER: No. This utility can be run from any Windows PC that meets the minimum product system requirements.
QUESTION: The printer picks a sheet then ejects it to the Out tray. The page has no printout. Is this all it does?
ANSWER: After the printer picks a sheet you should see a blue light appear. This blue light is part of the media sense calibration process. There is no printout on the ejected sheet.
QUESTION: I have gone into my driver and turned off media sense as the default setting ("Automatic" is not the default paper type). Will this utility recalibrate my media sense values?
ANSWER: Yes.
QUESTION: What if I continue to experience slow printing on plain paper or print quality problems on photo media?
ANSWER: Slow printing and print quality issues can be caused from other problems. Review information in the hp support web pages for other possible causes for these symptoms. If you need assistance contact the HP Customer Care Center.
