An error messages “No HP devices have been detected. HP Solution Center will close now.” appears every time you try to open the HP solution center. This problem basically is caused by an incomplete installation. What happen was, the basic software of your product is already installed however the device itself was not fully configured to integrate with the HP solution center. The solution for this problem is basically reinstalling the software. Instructions: Important Reminders before proceeding:
- For USB type of connection, make sure you unplug the USB cable first before proceeding.
- For Wireless Network Connections, make sure the printer is connected to the the router. Use wireless setup wizard to connect the printer to the router. Once printer is already connected the installation automatically finds it during the installation.
Steps:
- Insert the installation disk for your “all in one” and wait for th installation screen to come up.
- Select “add a device.” If the installation screen does not pop up, you may manually run it by browsing on the CD and double clicking on setup.exe file.
- Now select the type of connection that you want.
- It should then automatically detect you printer, all you need to do at this point is follow the on screen instructions until installation finish.

Worked fine. HP “solution” was to blow away the OS and reinstall everything.
Thanks,

You guys are awesome!!!! Your section on the registry services to delete was the missing piece in my troubleshooting – I had focussed on software keys only. Followed these steps and deleted all traces of the HP app and then applied the reinstall as per normal and it worked first time, flawlessly.
I’ll be putting up a donation!

Not for me.
Windows 7 recognized the printer, I can actually use it with Word and other apps.
solution center ? nada
The add-a-device doesn’t responde to any device that is connected.
I have done this about eight times and it still does not bring up the solution center.

HP Officejet J3680 AIO
Stupid problem
I disconnect the usb cable before running Setup and then connected it again when asked, now its ” Waiting for device setup to finish. Its almost finishing but never actually finishes.”
I’m getting a long white beard waiting for device to configure tried reinstalling still waiting, waitinc,waiting.
I have vista and cannot run install disc because it says I don`t have administration privilege but control panel says I do.
