Solve : oxooooo709?

Answer»

Hi. I am using windows 7 Home professional. I INSTALLED Epson 3540 and I can print to it wirelessly; I can scan with it but I cannot set it as the deault printer.



I get error message 0x00000709. I researched a little and I believe I need to alter the registry to recognize the printer.



I set up two different users on my computer and in each I can setup up 3540 as default printer (in regedit they point to the correct printe,r the 3540) but in the main user ACCOUNT I cannot setup 3540 as default.



I WENT in to regedit and in windows NT; current version, windows, devices in my main user account I have device pointing to an old printer I do not have.{ Device Reg_SZ workforce610 (network), winspool, Ne00:}



If I want to alter that command and make it Device Reg_SZ Epson 7B217 (WF-3540 Series), winspool, Ne05:



How would I do that?



Or do you have other suggestions?



Thanks for your help..

PS Can I copy from one user to another user the correct regedit ENTRIES???

Thx



DZJYou seem to already know what your doing (somewhat), but here's a link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/unable-to-setup-default-printer-error-message/2e14443e-a829-4400-b155-5b87494b03ce

If you've gotten this far, I don't see your problem. In your case it looks like you need to rename the key, not change the data, so you can just right click and rename. Double click if you need to change the data STORED in that entry.

If there is another user that has it working how you want, you'll need to login to their account. When you do, you can use regedit to export the registry key to a reg file. Then you can log back in to your account and run the reg file.Wish things were easy: sigh; When I right click on device i get a message telling me I do not have permission.


any ideas? very frustrating that my two other user accounts I can set the printer as a default but in my main user account I cannot. Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated..

Thx.
