Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

[Bob_Headrick]

Unfortunately I have run into a roadblock on getting a patch for W8 x64.  I have not made any progress lately and do not see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry, I do not have any good solution for the 64 bit version of Windows 8.

I thnk you for your efforts.

Hi to you all,

I have a HP710C connected to my network with a Edimax Printserver.

when i installed the windows 7 system i could not print any more.

thanks to this patch i have been able to print for more then a year without a problem!

my provider offered me a new router and sinds then i can't print anymore.

i have tried the patch again but it din't help. also the print server is recognized by the network. i can't find any problem there. so it must be the printer.

when i print  you can see the print message in the que but nothing happens.

does sombody have an idea??

thanks on forward.

I tried using this patch in Windows 8.1 64bit and it seems to work just fine. I'm using a 720C over a network. Printer is connected to a Windows 7 64bit machine via usb adapter. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Hi to you all,

I fixed my HP710c printer.

The problem was neither the printer nor the patch. The patch works perfectly! Thanks for that. 

The problem was the change of network . I had to install everything again, but that wasn’t the issue.

 I contacted Edimax support for the print server PS-1206. And they give me a workaround to install the print server without the Edimax software.

When I was doing this I realised that I had installed the printer as a network printer. That is logical because it’s in the network, but it must be installed as a local printer! This solved the problem and I am happy to be printing again! A stupid mistake can give you a lot of problems!!!!

Best regards

This is great news.  I had not made any progress on Win 8, I will need to try the existing patch with Win 8.1.

Excellent info, thanks!  Nice & easy instructions and has breathed new life into a  work-horse printer, that will probably last another 100 years!  If I can still get the ink, that is.....

Wow, It's amazing how many of us are out here with old HP 710/712 Deskjet printers that we're trying to interface to new computers running Windows 8. This has been an issue for a considerable time. I'm still hoping that sometime in the near future we will get the necessary patch. I hate obsolence.

I do not have any inside information, but the cartridges used in these printers were used in lots and lots of printers - I would expect them to be available for my lifetime at least.   The 51604A cartridges used in HP's first inkjet printer, the Thinkjet from 1984, are still available today nearly thirty years later.
