  • Cannot delete the printer from the "printers".

    OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.  Connected by cable to the xp machine.  Has been used in wireless mode successfully for more than a year of a machine Win 8. Some how it did not work, but I could not remove the window 'printer '. I had to download and reload the driver to use the printer.  But I can not yet remove the printer "old."   The new printer is named "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (network).  The old printer is called "HP7F8C60 (HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z). Can't use it or remove it. Thank you.

    Thank you for your quick response.  I could just delete it by clicking on delete.  I went through the following sequence messy and finally had success.

    I have a right-click on properties and tried each element. I got error on each of them, messages which are the most common response (80%), "printer can not be deleted. Double check the name, and make sure that the printer is connected to the network'.» Sometimes, I would get an error code. (Mentally I was not ready to dig that right now.)

    I could not change the name, or connect to any network. I tried for a half hour and failed several times on each of the elements. Then I clicked on 'Shortened' again (I don't know why!). This time, it reduces the number of points on the 'properties' of 10 points to 5 or 6. The item "Refresh" remained. I clicked "Refresh", and the printer has disappeared! I do not remember the sequence, or how many times I tried each item, but I have to hit the right combination and when, because the wrong printer icon has disappeared, and the good printer works.  Thanks for everyone's interest and help.

    Here are the instructions to remove some of the restore points using disk cleanup.  Your system is configured to record everything automatically on your computer at periodic points so if you need to restore your system files will be there.  But sometimes, you get more restore points that you want or need and he can eat a lot of disk space.  Here's how to control this.

    You can use Disk Cleanup to remove points of restoration and the free space on the hard disk on your computer.

    Disk removes the cleanup all but the last restore point on your computer. In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files. Previous versions are also deleted.
     
    1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
     
    2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click files from all users on this computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
     
    3. If prompted, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
     
    4. click the other Options tab.
     
    5. under System Restore and shadow copies, click Clean up, and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click on delete.
     
    6. If you want to continue using disk cleanup for other drives on your computer, click the Disk Cleanup tab. To quit Disk Cleanup, click Cancel.

If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

  • P1102w - cannot find the printer

    Hello

    I'm unable to print using a wireless connection.

    the printer is p1102w.

    operating system is MAC OS 10.10 Yosemite

    Whenever I try to print something I get "printer is not connected / cannot find the printer" message.

    I tried the solutions on your support site, but nothing helped.

    For sure, printer is connected to the same network as the computer. I see it on the print configuration page and I can connect to its IP address via a web browser (but I can't use web services).

    All software and drivers are up to date. Update Apple is nothing new to me. Niether have your site.

    I tried to move the printer closer and further away from router. No results.

    No web proxy is related to my network.

    To make this work, I have to remove the printer from my system, reinstall it using the USB cable, and then add it again via wi - fi.

    But some time the problem reappears.

    It's really frustrating. Help, please.

    Hi @xopot ,

    I see that you have problems printing via wireless network. I would like to help you today.

    Since you can access the printer embedded Web server, the printer would have a valid IP address. Most likely, it has something to do with the software that the printer uses.

    Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

    Close all applications.

    In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.

    Double-click disk utility.

    Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.

    Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

    Restart the computer...

    Reset the printing system:

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

    Click on Printers & Scanners.

    Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.

    Click OK to confirm the reset.

    Type the name and the correct password.

    Click OK to reset the printing system.

    Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

    Configure a static IP address for the printer.

    The printer is not found during Installation wireless.

    Do not take into account the title. Select the Solution 4: assign your printer a static IP address.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

    It is absolutely essential that any new module of RAM is fully compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other module of RAM already in the system.  In addition, there are sometimes jumper switches on old motherboards that need to be reset for new configurations of the RAM.  Consult the manual of your motherboard or the web site of the manufacturer for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

    If you can't get your hands on the manual of the computer and the manufacturer does not provide a support web site, you can use these utilities to help determine the right kind of RAM required:
