tried everything to no problems printing - no luck

Hi, since I upgraded to El Capitan my macbook air was not able to see the printers on my network wifi or connected via USB. I fixed it once (I kept trying things and eventually they both show) but they disappeared a few days later and today I tried previously tried everything and nothing works. Here is what I tried it - is there anything else anyone can think? I would like to downgrade to Yosemite, but Setup was removed from the Apple store so it's not an option more.

(1) I checked to see if the printers were on and connected to the wifi network.

(2) I have reset the printing system

(3) I renamed the printer folder in library old printer and reinstalled the printer drivers for printers

(4) I used the terminal window to correct permissions

(5) I downloaded the latest drivers from gutenprint for mac

(6) I installed a completely clean picture of El Capitan After erasing my drive

(7) I have restored a previous image that I created just after I solved the problem of the printer

None of these things worked. When I click on the plus sign on the printers and scanners to add a new printer, there is no printer available to add. Even when I connect one of the printers with a USB port, it is not seen by the mac.

I really don't know what to do at this point. It is not a printer problem, because these are two different manufacturers - it's certainly a problem with the mac. I am able to use google cloud print with printers (if they are indeed on the wifi network).

Any advice would be appreciated.

I installed a completely clean picture of El Capitan After erasing my drive

And then I tried adding printers without installing other software, or whatever it is restoring a backup? Are you sure of that?

Is what kind of printer?

  • My computer crashes randomly (usually by moving the mouse) and Microsoft, NVIDIA tried everything to fix it with no luck. Anyone having this problem? I have an Alienware Area 51 with two video cards in SLI 8800 and 4 GB of RAM.

    The display freezes randomly. The Windows desktop, on the Web pages and during the games. This problem started when I had Vista and I have improved the thought that the BONE was the problem. It is not the case. I added 2 GB of the thought of RAM I need more to no luck. I have now deleted 1 graphics card and the problem persists. I deleted all software except the OS and the problem persists. When you start Windows in safe mode, that the computer does not freeze.

    You are either having a video card driver problem or a ram memory stick problem.  I suggest that you check your ram and the settings in the BIOS.  Use security settings BIOS for the ram as the auto setting.  The Intels i7 have a little problem sometimes with more than one ram Strip and having the highest speed at stake.  Check this and get back with me. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • Windows Explorer hangs and crashes on (tried everything) video files

    So I've had this problem for awhile now and it does not seem to deteriorate. Every time I open a folder in Windows Explorer that contains video files (of any type), YOU start to have problems. The Green loading bar starts to take forever, or if that manages to load properly, then doing ANYTHING with these files will result in US gel and ends up crashing. No matter if it is just a right-click, trying to highlight, trying to move, try to remove or trying to open. They all get the same answer.

    Things I've tried and the results:

    -Set the folder options to never display thumbnails (bar is no longer a problem too bright green)

    -Set options folder for general documents

    -Tried to optimize files with videos to video

    -Switched back to General

    -Ran of virus/malware scans (clean)

    -Never allowed cache, the nooks and the crannies of unnecessary files

    -Uninstall unused programs on C:\ for free space

    -Defragged everything

    -Uninstalled and reinstalled each video player

    -Uninstalled and reinstalled all my codecs, as well some as superfluous jic

    -Have toggled between every possible program by default, VLC seems more reliable (see the note below VLC), Quicktime least WMP and DivX uneven at best

    -Ran msconfig and methodically unchecked/restarted and then double checked / restart all services and the start of the program (no change)

    -Ran SFC Scannow (no reported problem)

    -Booted safe mode (no difference, we HAVE still freezes on video files, don't say anything about the running server error)

    -Use a directory of third-party files (Q - dir) to access files, Q - dir froze after right click on videos

    -Use a video converter to convert videos between file types, now accessible but converted videos seems not to to material they are converted into - in addition, nonconverted original suddenly too much work very well, but ONLY those that are accessible by the converter

    -Used VLC to find and open the video files. Œuvres, but only one at a time, that is, if I try to open another video file after the first in the same window of VLC, VLC freezes. Need to close the program, and then reopen the program to open a new file without freezing. Recently opened files of VLC are accessible via Windows Explorer without freezing (note, the accessibility seems temporary, filed consulted with VLC a few days ago to return to the State unclickable).

    -Note on VLC: may seem to move and delete files using the VLC browser without problem, but ONLY before opening any file - after VLC must be closed and then reopened as previously reported

    And Yes, I turned it works several times.

    I feel that I've tried everything, and the problem seems to be growing. I feel like there must be a problem with the way that we, I don't know, compiling data on files or something, but I don't have enough background tech to get past this wave and completely unnecessary idea.

    Oddly enough, everything else on my computer is fine. Non-video-folder navigation is fine, no lag or freeze, programs starts quickly, internet connection is fine, browser videos play without problem and when I can get the video file plays on something they play very well - just good luck for their.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm about to tear my hair out.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    As you said you are not facing this problem to boot, it means that you are facing this problem due to a third-party application.

    If you are referring to the steps in the link below under 8.1 and Windows 8 Windows in 3 steps , after you check the box against hide all Microsoft services. You will see a list of non-Microsoft services, you need to check the cause of these services.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    Uncheck half the service and check the rest of the half.  If you face the question yet, then it menas that you are facing this issue due to services that were not invalid.

    4.) Chrome uninstall and install again (however do not get rid of the add-ons/extensions etc.)

    5.) check the directory of the application instead, nothing inside either:

  • Printer Epson NX 415, get a message saying something on the refill cartridges, but even when I tried to solve the problem, I was unsuccessful.

    I have an Epson NX415 printer, the problem I have is my arer of ink cartridges not recognized or fake messages saying that I need to replace a particular cartridge is correct. I tried the Epson OEM cartridges as generic in all combinations without success. Sometimes, I get a message saying something on the refill cartridges but even when I tried to solve the problem I was unsuccessful. I have tried all troubleshooting solutions on Epson web site without success.  Help!

    I hate to say it, but if you can't get help from Epson, it's probably time to buy a new printer.  It's a printer hardware problem or a problem of printer driver, and the two of them come from Epson, not Ms.

    Good luck.

    Anyone know how to solve my problem? I can't import my photos from Iphone to computer. Sign says: Photos in the camera cannot be imported because the IPhone is locked with a password or read. My phone is unlocked. I tried everything, every single idea. Without success! Any other idea?

    For example, you specify that the device does not display the lock screen, correct? Do you use Touch IDS? If so, try to put your finger on the device to see if it's what he wants.

    See you soon,.

    This can have several reasons:

    first make sure that your firewall/security software allows firefox to fully access the internet.

    then you can try the solutions (proxy settings, the change of dns server) provided in this support thread: https://support.mozilla.org/de/questi.../704934

    If this does not help, also try disabling ipv6 as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Server%20not%20found?s=server%20not%...

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,
    M

    my printer hp j4550 quit printing range. It can always copy and scan. What could be the problem?

    1. any error message? If so, please report it in its entirety, without paraphrasing.

    2. all the lights on or flashing on the printer other than the power button? There is a message on the status display?  If so, look in the aid system in your printer for explanation.

    3. can you print a test page using the controls on the front panel? [Tap on configure, select print report then select Self Test press OK.]

    4. either download and run The utility of diagnosis HP Print or perform the troubleshooting steps manually .

  • Fix runtime error after trying to solve a problem of printer

    A program that was fine yesterday now displays the following error message:

    Runtime error!

    Program: C:\Sierra\CardZone\Planner.exe

    abnormal termination of the program

    This happened after Epson technical support was trying to solve a problem with the printer. UGH!

    You can replace the file execution somehow?

    Where is it on my PC (Vista)

    Is there a registry fix?

    IF I reinstall the software Cela will correct the error?  It must be a Windows file and not a software?

    Thank you.

    I'm so positive that she has nothing to do with my profile, because I have no problem with other software or programs.

    One last question. So, there is NO single file on my computer which can be replaced by a new version of a registry file that would take care of this?

    She seems to be just associated with a program that I think I'll quit smoking aid.

    Thanks for your time.

  • Just got my HP LaserJet Pro M451nw 400 and it prints all greenish! Tried everything

    Help!

    I just got my HP LaserJet Pro M451nw 400 and it prints all greenish!

    I tried everything in the troubleshooting page for quality of printing, calibration, color settings, page, even the driver HP Universal PS of cleaning.

    When I entered my product in the registration area, it is said the warranty is good until June 2014 as Newegg said the guarantee would be also 1 year ...

    I'm sorry you're having trouble with your new LaserJet print quality.

    I assume you are using supplied with the printer, toner cartridges since this is brand new.  Otherwise, recharged cartridges sometimes are not of high quality and can cause less than optimal printouts.

    The following link gives several options to try if you have not already tried these things:

    HP technical support URL

    One of the options I copied from the above URL:

    Adjust the color settings in the printer driver

    Change the theme color for a print job

    1. On the file menu in the software, click on print.

    2. Click Properties or preferences.

    3. Click the color tab.

    4. Select a color theme from the drop-down list of color themes.
