My LaserJetPro 400 printer is not recognized on the USB ports. With the help of El Capitan OSx

Since I installed OSx El Capitan, I had intermittent problems with the USB ports to connect to my HP LaserJet printer. I first thought that the older printer was not compatible with the new OSx software, so I've just upgraded to a new HP LaserJet Pro 400 M451dw. same results and the computer is not even connect to the printer. The number of post detailing a similar problem, I would hope that apple now had a fix for this problem...

It gets very frustrating to say the least.

    Hi Karen,.

    -What version of Windows is installed on the computer?

    -What antivirus/firewall software you have installed on the computer?

    The document from HP concerning "printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c02817031#N80

    You have tried most the steps mentioned in the document, but please try once more.

  • LaserJet M1122: Printer is not recognized by NAS LenovoEZ

    Hi guys, I have buy a new brand Laserjet and I plugged it in the center of storage of LenovoEZ USB to share the printer on the network.

    Instead to recognise the Lenovo shows a 'shared device' as if the printer was a USB key with some drivers.

    The printer is not recognized as a printing device, and I have all the Office on my neck.

    I'll wait your comments.

    Mariano

    Hi Mariano,

    I recommend that you check with Lenovo,

    As you mention, the printer is fully functional with your WIndows XP and 8.

    There are different factors to conseeder on a print server.

    It is the driver for the specific printer?

    Support a printer based on the host as the M1132?

    Lenovo may be able to provide a better response to those as being familiar with possible configurations and capabilities of the print server.

    Try opening the iPhone before connecting to Windows. If the film is not empty, then the device should be listed in Windows Explorer. If it still does not show try to restart the computer and the device, and then try again. If it does not show more in iTunes then try iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • TV not recognized by the server-&gt; 40L 73

    Hello

    My problem is already listed on this forum but I can't find a solution or explanation.

    I recorded with a Toshiba account in order to use the "smart" features of my incl. TV services VOD as Maxdome etc...

    Whenever I push the button 'cloud' I get the message: "your TV was not recognized by the server. Press OK to re - connect to the server... »

    When I press OK, it will start to accept T & C, privacy, user name, password, etc... The connection will work with my current username and password...
    But unfortunately he will not stay for the next time.

    Call the hotline they suggest to send the unit for repair... I can't believe that there is a problem with my TV... But server.

    Any suggestion? May be related to an IPv6 Internet connection?

    In addition, even, I would say I'm a fan of Toshiba, my TV's performance are simply bad. When I have the cloud works, it takes two minutes until Maxdome should be started.

    And can someone tell me WHY I need to get into the clouds to access my saved content? Or Media Player? This content "offline" should be much more quickly accessible.

    Thanks for your help and your comments in advance.

    Maybe you should just a few solutions of circumvention of the Commons:
    First, you must set the default TV.
    Then configure the internet connection once more and then try to connect to the cloud to accept all of the terms and conditions, privacy and other things.

    By the way: you should also check if your firmware is up to date. This can be checked here:

  • HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f.  What is a controller failure?  A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?

    dhobs,

    Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)

    You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.

    Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

    Greetings

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards
