My printer was working fine. Now it will only print in code not words what do I do??

My hp officejet 4500 all in one wifi. Was working fine now it wont print words only will print in codes.  Already reinstalled printer but that didn't correct the problem.  Im desperate   ;{

Did you completely power off the printer and the computer? Sometimes (maybe due to unexpected shutdown, glitch in the network, etc.), data get left in the port, and resulting in this behavior. A complete shutdown should clear the ports.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

  • Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Try a reset:
    - Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons then try and charge again.
    If issue persists try:
    - Another known working cable
    - Check the charging port for any damage or debris
    - You could also use a dry soft bristle toothbrush and gently brush it on the port to clean it of any debris that could be in there

  • Firefox was working fine, I closed it and later it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it will now open. I've followed all the directions and all I get is the crash reporter when I try to open firefox. It does not open at all. HELP

    I'm using XP sp3, fully patched with the current version of firefox 3. 6.12. I have 4 gb memory and a 250 gb hard drive. Most of which is all free, so I have lots of memory and hard drive space. I was using firefox and everything was working fine. I shut it down and when I went back later, it would not open at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, renamed the user acct, followed all directions I could find and firefox will not open. I've run all kinds of scans on my computer for viruses or malware and found nothing. Everytime I try to open firefox, I get the crash reporter and it will not open at all. I would appreciate some help. I don't know what else to try. I use firefox as my default browser.

    hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

  • When printing to my hp color printer from my MacBook Pro, it will only print in b

    When trying to print to my HP color printer, my macbook will only print the document  in black and white. I have  looked at settings and I don't see an option to print to color.

    Hmmm...well that narrows down things a little more. Has it ever worked correctly? Have you tried deleting the printer from System Preferences (under the Apple menu) > Printers & Scanners and then re-adding it again? Also, silly question, but have you checked the supply levels to make sure it has color ink in it?
    Does the printer work correctly with another computer?
    I know it is puzzling. I'm trying to think of all the ways to isolate this to one thing or another.

  • Epson WF-3521 printer was working fine and then suddenly stopped

    Printer has been working fine since we bought it but tonight I suddenly began receiving an error message stating that the printer is offline. I have turned both off and on checked to ensure they are both on the correct router, but then problem persists.

    Here's a relatively easy way to make sure the printer has the latest firmware, which may well solve your issue:
    There is a free app in the App Store called Epson iPrint.  Download and install it on your iPad, then open it, and see if it sees your printer.  If so, click Maintenance in the lower left, and then click Printer Settings on the bottom.  Then click Firmware Update.  It will detect if your printer has the latest firmware and install it if not.
    Hopefully that will fix your issue.

  • My dvd drive has disapeared was working fine, now just not there, any help would be great

    my dvd player was working just fine before I went on Holiday....... now nothing just get an error message no dvd found....... does anyone have any ideas  

    Bring up the System Information via the Apple ➙ About this Mac ➙ More Information menu and check under the Hardware if the optical drive is recognized.  Are you able to use the drive from the Finder?  If not then it may be a hardware issue so try this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test

  • Elements 4.0 (MAC) was working fine, now it "Quits unexpectedly"...

    PSE 4.0 had been working just fine, even with my limited knowledge of it. One day I tried to open it and got the error message "Application quit unexpectedly..." I tried to uninstall then reinstall and it still is not working. Is there something I need to delete somewhere to make this work correctly?
    Further, when downloading pic from my camera, they are automatically loaded into iPhoto. Is there a way to load them directly into PSE?
    Thanks,
    Sal

    First of all, for your quitting problem, go to your username>library>preferences folder and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    PSE 4.0 Paths
    PSE 4.0 settings
    Opera preferences
    Repair permissions and try again. If it still quits, go to applications>PSE>plug-ins>Import/Export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver.
    For your second question, photos are not "in" PSE. They are wherever you put them. You can set PSE to open automatically when you connect a camera, but you will be working with the images still stored on the card--not a good idea.
    if you mean you just don't want to use iphoto, you have two options:
    1. Set Image Capture to open and use that to download your photos to the mac,
    2. Set your computer not to open any program and you can just drag the images to the desktop and then put them wherever you want them.
    Let me know which you prefer and I'll tell you what to do.

  • My 7th gen nano was working fine, now no sound

    And yes, I tried two different sets of ear buds and they were both pushed in all the way.  It's worked fine for months, now this morning everything appears normal, but there is no sound output.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hey live_music_fan,
    I know you have a 7th generation and the article this information is from is for the 6th gen, but the steps should still apply. If you haven't already, I would run through the following:
    Check the volume setting.
    Try adjusting the volume by pressing the volume buttons.
    Try another song or audio file.
    Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ.

  • IPad 2 wifi not working.  Was working fine, now won't find the network.  Any suggestions?

    Help!  Bought an iPad 2 for my mother, brought it to Scotland (from Chicago); initially worked fine.  Wifi suddenly stopped working.  Wn't find the network.  My iPad 2 has no problems.  Reset the network settings, did a hard restart, reset all settings, rebooted the router.  Nothing's working.  I'm returning to the U.S. In four days.  Any help would be most appreciated.

    Patrick-
    Did your "hard restart" involve holding both buttons until the Apple logo appeared?
    Are you sure that Airplane Mode is OFF?
    The solution may be to swap iPads and leave the good one with your Mother.  If you erase all content and settings on both, you can restore the good one from your Mother's computer.
    When you get home you can do the same with the problem iPad and your computer.  If you haven't sorted it out by then, take it to the Apple Store Genius.

  • Why, all of a sudden, when I try to print does my iMac decide it will only print vertically even though I have chosen horizontal?

    The page looks perfect in the word processor PAGES, however, when I go to print in shows (and prints) my horizontal document on the paper vertically? Try to picture a 5x7 print laid sideways in a verticle 5x7 frame; much of the picture is lost or "printed" outside of the frame. This has only been happening for the past month or so, it always printed fine before that. And yes, i tried changing the orientation in page set up." Thanks for any help!

    Right click the printer in System Prefences -  Print & Scan and use Reset Printing System... and then reinstall the printer, should take less than 5 minutes. Here is a photo showing how to Reset Printing System....
