HP Photosmart C4580 does not print with Mac Book 10.5.8

I tried all the "solutions" made the HP Support.   When I click on the HP Photosmart C 4500 series icon, it says printer is connected but 'lazy '.  Honestly, I disconnected and reconnected everything.  I added no and added the printer.

I tried all your advice and directions to troubleshooting in the manual.

Finally, I tried pressing the x button and the ok button on the control panel.   He printed things on my queue.

Can't imagine why it worked, but it did.  Yay!

I want to thank you for taking the time to help me.   Katie

  • HP photosmart 8150 does not print with Vista

    Why my printer does not print how can I solve this problem

    The pilots say they work properly even though they may be bad drivers (not always, but often enough). You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers, firmware and/or software (and you should get those updates for the printer and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  The versions supplied with the printer are more likey obsolete and you want the most recent available.

    Do you get errors on the screen or on the printer (and what do say EXACTLY)?

    Pay attention to the installation instructions.  Not only certain tasks requuired, but sometimes they should be done in a certain order or the process will not work.  Check again the indications (or contact the HP support) and follow them to the letter.  Frankly, I would contact HP who willl be faster and much more liekly to work in the end. http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html.  Why fuss about it when they will be more than happy to help you?

    I hope this helps.  Really shouldn't be much more difficult than with the previous printers unless you've never used Vista before - that can make a big difference.  Installation and configuration of sharing are very different.  Also, there may be some settings of the printer itself that need to be addressed to make things work correctly - but I do not (but HP will be).

    Good luck!

    Hi Marcialee,

    I'm sorry to hear that it still does not work. I think that at this point, it would be preferable for you to follow this document uninstalling the printer software to get the software deleted, then please use the HP printer installation wizard to get the software reinstalled.

    I would like to know how it goes for you!

  • 5520 HP does not print with Mac 10.7.5

    Hello

    I have a wrong setting to the top of my 5520 new after my 5510 went kaput!

    I downloaded the drivers and have reset both the printers on the MAC and printer.

    I removed and redownloaded few times.

    When I try to add the printer, the MAC doesn't seem to see my son in the other room printer and not mine!

    Initially, I was able to print when first purchased last month but not with airprint and turn all the time the printer. I was trying to solve this particular problem, and now I can't print anything except gibberish.

    Now, all the printer will print (when it is printed) is strings and strings of computer-speak. HELP... Please! I use 5 HomeHub BT as a router...

    Hello TraiJay,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    For starters, it sounds as though that there could be a small mixture upwards in the Mac software of the printer. So a rule I always followed is to ensure that all software are completely removed, and the computer cleaned the printer software.

    The first step will be to uninstall the printer software. I've included the document "uninstalling the printer software. If you still see the Photosmart 5510 still on the list, please ensure that it is also well uninstalled.

    Once the uninstall is complete, the next step is to check and fix permissions of Mac disc. I've included the document '12.x disk utility: repair disk permissions'. Verify and repair disk permissions has finished. Please completely off the Mac for a minute and the Mac is restarted.

    The next step is to install the software. I've included the link to "HP Photosmart full feature software and drivers - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8. As soon as the software has finished downloading, open the software and follow the instructions on the screen for the installation.

    Please make sure that if you are able to install the software correctly, you click on the Apple icon and search for the software updates.

    The installation software sees your printer? You are able to install the software correctly? When you try to print now, is it always felt strange text?

    Thank you.

  • HP photosmart 8250 does not print with vista Ultimate edition

    I recently installed vista ultimate and my HP Photosmart 8250 does more.  Print jobs are sitting in the queue with a status of "error - printing '." It's a usb printer. I deleted and reinstalled the printer, drivers updated, all the fixed HP update vista, ran the hp diagnostic program (shows all the errors). Check the port mapping (it's ok). Changed the cable.

    The printer works if I connect to a XP computer.

    I'm at the end of my abilities - at this point, I'm about to go back to XP. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

    problem was with the USB driver

    Motherboard is an ASUS - m4a78t-e

  • HP Photosmart C4580 does not print .pdf files

    With the help of a MacBook Pro, I can print anything using Pages, Numbers, Safari.  But when you try to print a .pdf file I can't print anything.  Instead, I get an error message: "opening printer connection failed: cannot open the connection to the printer."  Please check your printer connections and search for printing errors. »

    But I don't have any errors.  And, once again, I can print all kinds of other things, just not this or other .pdf files.

    Ideas?

    Well, by trial and error, I found a way to do it.  Press PRINT, then hit ADVANCED and then check the box that says PRINT AS IMAGE.  Then, it worked for me.  It seems strange that printing is impossible without convoluted to do.

    Has anyone else had this issue / know how to fix?

    Thank you

    Hi melaniehuynh,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I see you tried to add your HP Deskjet F4480 your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.4, operating system when you try to print nothing happens it won't in the print queue.

    Because you use the Mavericks OS X, you must install the printer using the Apple updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the printer driver on a Mac for a USB or network connection. The pilot of Mavericks v10.9 OS X for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). In addition, you can perform printing base with AirPrint without installing a driver.

    I want you to discover the fair section of the above document, make sure that you have installed correctly.

    Once you have installed the F4480 DJ, you will notice perhaps features that you had once are limited or there are solutions, for scanning with or without seeing software HP below:

    I hope this helps!

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02681060

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • Photosmart 6510 does not print in black

    My photosmart 6510 does not print in black. I presume that it was the cartridge but I replaced the cartridge and it still does not print. I cleaned the print heads and the cartridge ink levels are full.

    The printhead, cleaning of the screen failed touchscreen printer running.  But when I sat down at my computer and used the program utility printing, he did.  I ran an initial print head cleaning my computer and then clicking the button indicating that the print heads were NOT clean.  He then ran a deep cleansing process.  Then I lined up the printheads of the same print utility program.  Now it works!
