My printer is HP PSC 1401 all-in-one printer scanner and copier

My computer is Pro version Mac OS X 10.8.2

My printer will not scan image on my computer.

When I try, a message from my computer asking me if I want to download the software

When I try to download, it says that it is impossible to right now. Try again later. (not done several times), no luck

I can print pictures of the computer...

Any suggestions?

    Hello:

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a high pressure processing equipment. This system uses a PID controller. The level of pressure does not stop at the set point, but continue to increase. I am trying to solve this problem. As the program was written by someone else and there is no documentation on what each represent module and done. It is very difficult for me to solve the problems. Therefore, I decided to start all over again with my own module.  However, I have a problem. My hardware (DBK25 and others) is not communicating with the module of Dasylab. I tried several different things, that nothing seemed to work. I get this error.

    Any help is highly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their drivers. Check with
    HP support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

  • Lexmark Interpret S405 is not communicating with the computer and will not print

    My computer works with Windows 7 and updates automatically.  I got the Lexmark Interpret S405 for 18 months, and it has worked great until a couple of months.  When I try to print, I get an error message indicating that the printer is not communicating with the computer.  When I check the printer, it shows he's ready.  The print job shows that it is ready to print, but nothing happens except for this message.  When I try to erase the impression, it really takes a lot of time - usually have to unplug the printer so that it can finally clear.  Then it still will not print if I try again unless I restart the computer.  Lexmark support page says that there is a problem with Windows 7 and their product.  All the solutions for this problem yet?

    Computer model of the bridge ZX6970, OS 64-bit, intel CORE CPU I-13 3.30 GHz, Windows 7 Home Premium.  Can someone advise a fix for this problem?  Thank you!

    Hello

    Have you tried to download and install the updated firmware for the Lexmark Interpret S405 from the manufacturer's website.

    If this isn't the case, please download and install it.

    Download Firmware for your printer!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 Scanner does not work with 10.4.11

    My friend just upgraded to the OfficeJet 8500.  He already had a scanner and a stand-alone printer.  Yesterday, we installed the printer and software, but the scanner will not show either when you press the button on the front console or from the HP Director software.  Any suggestions?  Printing and copy of work currently functions.  His system is an iMac G5 20 ", Mac OS x 10.4.11.  OfficeJet is connected via USB.

    Well Yes, even 2.0 compatible hubs can get in the way of scanning (but usually not print).  Try a direct contact with a known good USB cable.

    You can try uninstalling the scrubber, its probably a good idea if there are old pieces of HP software on your system.

    Hi Suzanne,.

    Sorry, I Don t understand why you want to buy a new scanner. First of all, it would be nice if you tell us what satellite you have. Other useful information would be exactly, what does NOT work on your satellite and your 'all-in-one '...

    Please provide more information on this subject and maybe you shouldn't buy a new scanner.
