Can not install HP 4480 after a clean install of Mac OS Lion

I have a HP 4480 USB printer that worked on my iMac with OS X 10.7 (Lion) very well until I erased my hard drive and a cleaning set from 10.7.  I reinstalled the software update HP driver and downloaded the latest driver on the HP website successfully.

The name of the device looks fine when I try to add the printer in system preferences. But I get this message: "an error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.  Cannot find the appropriate software on your system after a software update running. "The name of the printer indicates also the HP utility under device information and, ironically, I was able to print the test page for HP!

But I am not able to print a document, always get a condition No. selected printer.  I tried several different sequences of resetting the printer, unplug the USB cables, reloading the drivers of HP and software update, try to add the printer and restart the computer.  Maybe I don't have the right order.

Can you help me?

Thanks PrintDoc and ShlomlL to keep me on the right path.

My printer problem is resolved by making a second clean install of the OS Lion, but this time immediately install my printer.  The problem seems to have been caused by the Migration Wizard when more of my backup Time Machine from another computer.

  • Satellite A30 - after the BIOS update I can not install any OS

    Hey everybody

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A30 PSA33E. I update my old BIOS and 1.7 and now I have a problem: I can not install any OS on my PC because it stops whenever I try to install. After 50 tests, I installed a Windows SP2, but my PC turns off always.

    My CPU is at 100% after I launch mozilla so I guess my problem is the BIOS. I try to install v1.8 BIOS and is not working and I get an error (not compatible with the installed BIOS)

    Where can I find the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ROM BIOS? Can someone help me please?
    THX

    The latest version of the BIOS should not cause this kind of thing. Have reset you the BIOS to its default settings?

    Have you checked the CPU radiator for an accumulation of dust? A can of compressed Air can help remove dust through the vents.

    What was the reason that you updated the BIOS, in the first place? Had previous problems with the system?

  • I can not install Lightroom 6 after a problem with the pc and upgrade to Windows 10. "Errors occurred on your installation.

    Hello

    I am a user of Lightroom 4 since it came out and it worked fine.

    My system is based on a motherboard Asus Maximus III, the Intel Core i7 875K 2.93 GHz processor, card EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Graphics, Corsair Vengeance 8 GB of RAM.

    I used to have Windows 7 Home Eng 64 bit on it.

    After installing Lightroom 6 everything is fine again, but then the evil came:

    There was a problem with the pc, so I had to use the restore before installing Lightroom 6 point, bringing back me to Lightroom 4

    The problem is that somehow my internetbrowsers stopped working one by one. A virus? Norton was running, so it shouldn't.

    The restoration of an early version did not help the problem

    I needed the PC for work so I installed the free update for Windows 10

    Now, I can not install my Lightroom 6 more: it keeps giving me the following box:

    Schermafbeelding_120215_011519_AM.jpg

    Of course stop the firewall did not help. Looks like a standard sentence as well.

    How to solve this?

The first problem is that the laptop will not stop (after pressing Shut Down, it stops and after 3 seconds, it restarts and connects to Windows.

The 'solution' is to keep button about 5 seconds of the laptop ON the button in order to stay shutted down.))

  • 655 HP: I can not install wifi driver hp 655

    Hello everyone.

    I hope someone will help me with this problem

    I have a laptop hp 655, and I can not install its driver wifi...

    I downloaded it (I tried more than drivers), and start the installation, but after only a few seconds this window with installation disappear.

    I don't know what to do... Thank you very much.

    It helps if you have identified the wifi adapter and let us know if the adapter is regarded as being present in the Device Manager.

    You can identify it by a couple of ways.

    One is to use Device Manager, and then view the string PCI\VEN. See the following image.

    Another perhaps simpler method is as follows.  By pressing the power button and immediately press the ESC key to call the start menu.

    Press the F1 key to call the system information window. Locate the FCC ID, WLAN.  Copy and use it in a search engine to find the driver for the installed operating system.

    Don't forget to keep us in the loop.
