• HP psc2100 series all-in-one: printer was working fine, all of a sudden its impasse on copy and will not be printed said export error

  computer printing problem saying "Error exporting" and printer saying just 1 copy.  I tried troubleshooting on mine, doesn't have the verified maintenance on the printer, but still saying error. Help, please!

  Hi @kelley22,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I see that your HP PSC 2100 printer is stuck on copy and will not be printed on Windows 8. I'm happy to help you!

  The first step, I would like to recommend is a hard reset. Please see this message, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is very important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. See this article, questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power, for more information. This is true for printers and ink jet.

  Once this step is finished, please try to print a self-test report, to check the printer hardware is fully functional.

  To print a self-test report, follow these steps:

  • On the product control panel, press Setup.
    The installation menu appears.
  • Press the right arrow ( ) until print report displays and then press OK. The menu print report appears.
  • Press the right arrow ( ) until the self-assessment report and press OK. The self-test report prints.

  If the test report print, then on the computer, please try our HP print and Scan Doctorand let me know what happens!

  Hope this helps and have a great day!

• Firefox will not update for firefox 42.0

  I'm currently under Firefox 30.0. I know there is a newer version, but when I go on Firefox and click on search for the update, it is said that I am up to date. Is there a way of put without having to uninstall Firefox?

  If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the file to disk on the desktop image

  • Firefox 42.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
  • Basket of the current application of Firefox (open the Applications folder in Finder and drag the Firefox application to the trash) to do a cleanup (re) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/installing+Firefox+on+Mac

  Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

• Windows Update will not download?

  When I try and download windows updates it remains at 0% and will not download. Also any secondary windows pop up I opened Virgin rest. These errors started exactly at the same time. I use windows 7 and Norton 360 (4.0)

  Norton 360 v4.x was not released until February 17, 2010. If you have purchased & installed Norton 360 in August 2009, it was Norton 360 v3.x, so you must have upgraded to v4.x because you upgraded to Win7 in October 2009.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. [No, Norton Support will not tell you this.] Norton 360 v3.x "leftovers" can be cause of your problem.

  [You want to print the following instructions for consultation offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (includingLiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the latest version of Norton 360 (using your product ID, if necessary) & restart:http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  IMPORTANT! -Online do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. If you have had problems with Internet Explorer 8, perform a reset now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

  8 b. Open IE8 (only) (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty by DEFAULT inside and then AGGRESSIVE modes (again). [1]

  9. restart & test.

  Your question I know that some of these methods is not available now, however, all
  Convenience store is included just in case where win you some access as you try to solve the problem.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• M4V will not play after the update of the Sierra

  I have a number of m4v files that will play is more in quicktime or iTunes after my update for Sierra on my MacBook Pro and iMac. The audio plays fine but the video freezes on the first few frames. I have no problem with those files previously.

  Any suggestions please?

  I have a similar problem as well. Some of my m4v files appear as a blank page with a folded corner icon. They will not play in anything other than VLC player. When I try to play them in iTunes the move, and he said LIVE. When I move the files to an older operating system (El Capitan), they play and correct appearance.

• Firefox will not open at all, after the last update (13.08.2015).

  After the update (40.0.2 @ 13.08.2015) just used Firefox open. The process is visible in the Task Manager, but does nothing. no window. JUST. NOTHING. It works only in safe mode or when ran as administrator. I tried other computers from home too. Same thing.

  How to fix?

  Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.
