4500, inconsistent printing; stopped printing with a laptop that worked before

Hi,
I have a hp 4500. It was working fine on our ATT wireless network, then became random if it would print or not. It will print (usually) for other two computers on network, but stopped on my Asus. Have been having difficulty connecting for last few weeks, have to turn on and off printer (waiting about 5 minutes between shutting off then back on). Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Now it says the driver is not installed, so uninstalled driver and reinstalled. Now it says it is not installed. Have tried multiple times. Any suggestions? My laptop is connected to web fine through wireless connection (obviously, right?) but can't figure out connection issues.
Thanks!

Hi juggler63,
I'd like to help. Can you answer some questions?
Can you print a printer status report and give me the Product # for your printer? To do this, press the "wrench" or setup button, press the right arrow until you see Reports, press OK, press right arrow until you see Status Report or Self Test Report, and then press OK. The report should print.
Are you using a disk or download from hp.com for the install?
Is the printer connected wirelessly or by Ethernet cable to the wireless network?
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

I am having trouble with the "numbers" app on my MacBook Air. I go to print my document and that works just fine. I cannot however return to the document after printing. What do I have to do?

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

HT4356 My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc

My Ipad prints to my airprinter that works OK but how do I set picture size/position etc. At the moment from the photos app it prints an A6 photo in top left corner. How do I change that to something different.

If you put photo paper in the printer it will print correctly on the paper. Also, some photo printers will adjust the size photo printed when you put different size photo paper in the tray.

Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this, but since you purchase apps using your Apple ID, you will be able to get them back by going to the App Store > Updates > Purchased > Not on this iPhone. If you have iOS 5, you don't need to worry about it, as they can be restored via iCloud backup.

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now just sound

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now when accessed the sound plays but no video. Is there a different file type I should create or is this a glitch w/this version? Played before & still plays-Mac b4UG-PC/Iphone/Ipad.

Are you using Safari or Firefox? It runs as expected in Firefox, but in Safari I too get just the sound, and going to the m4v link causes the movie to download rather than play (it downloads fine and plays in Quicktime once downloaded). I checked some of my own m4v movies, and they were playing fine in Safari. For one embedded in a complex web page, see here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo.html
The next m4v has its very own very simple page, with the movie called using an embed tag with various options set (you can see the details by going to View->View Source) and also plays:

There was a problem with a Safari plug-in misbehaving very early in Snow Leopard, but I no longer remember the details. But see this archived discussion:

It was a rather complex problem, but I had thought one of the updates fixed it.

Wireless printing with Airport Express not working

I set up my Airport Express. I have an HP photojet printer and I can print from my Mac Air but the other 3 windows-based laptops that are connecting to Airport Express can't. Anyone know why that is or how to fix it?

You did install and run Bonjour for Windows on each PC, correct?
Does Bonjour "see" the printer...and it won't install....or.....does Bonjour not "see" the printer at all?
Just in case.....

HP Care Package - 93 days with no laptop or working

After 6 days of trying to get in contact with my case manager and talking with at least 4-5 who at least 3 left messages for her each day? other case managers telling me she's busy and were MUCH Freindlier to me, She tells me she's gonna have to call me again later, and that it'll take up to a week+ to get this straightened out, and from our talk i am not gonna be happy with her solution at all.
ANY way at all i can get a new case manager or someone who will actually get this done quick.
My 3+ times sending my laptop to HP, you guys have broken more then fixed it, putting the wrong montior on my laptop,Webcam, Keyboard, Mic, WIFI, for things you have broken, and having it at the repair place for 3 weeks, 2-3 weeks, and 2 weeks, with one time taking 2-3 weeks before i got a call back promised i was promised and had to call you guys repeatly, to be told i'd get a call back after you did not do it, just to be told i'd get a box, because the guy on HP assistence wouldnt do it because he found me to be a moron or something and did not believe i had gotten the wrong/broken laptop parts. With the 1-day shipping usally taking 4-6 days each way, and driving over 250miles total for the trips to get to the closes fedex dropoff, because i want to get this resolved that much quicker.
YOU HAVE HAD MY LAPTOP MORE THEN ME!
I just want to get this resolved, the time has been extremely unreasonable, The customer service and my case manager has given me the run around repeatly,
Like friday, the one time i actually talked to her, She told me to call the number witht he laptop, and after calling them and getting forwarded and then getting sent around for about 1-2 hours and 4+ transfers, I get told to call my case manager who sent me on this waste of time run-around to not get called back for 5 days, leaving repeated messages, One awesome case manager there i had to get to get in contact with her in person when she got to work today.
I've had my HP care package, 3/6 months, since you guys had it the other 3 months, and it never ONCE got fixed, I've wasted days at home, On the phone, Waiting for broken laptop deliveries, and driving to fedex dropoffs,
Once i get the new laptop, You guys are gonna make me buy another if i want it to be able to get fixed, yet not even having mine or a fixed laptop this time.
I JUST WANT A WORKING LAPTOP.
Can I just get the
HP ENVY dv7-7212nr Notebook PC sent sent, its close enough to my laptop, its the only ready to ship with the same screen as mine and most everything else.
My case manager said that'd be a downgrade because it's not a custom unit, I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH FOR IT TO GET BUILT AND SENT TO ME!
If this is not resolved fairly quickly, You are without question losing a customer for the rest of his long life, and his families business as well, and my friends, and i will not go quitely either with facebook, twitter and other social media, for a very long time.
I am displeased, dissatisfied, insulted, Wasted days, wasted time, wasted gas, wasted battery charge on my phone, wasted phone minutes on my cell phone since i have pre-paid, wasted money on warrenty that'll go away, wasted money on your product for this kind of service.
I've had to buy another laptop during this time because i need a laptop to do my daily life things, If i knew it was going to be this much of a insult and failure, I'd of just bought a real laptop replacement of the same/better specs for twice instead of half of the cost of it. You have made my work take over twice as long, and more money of mine wasted.
Please contact me ASAP.

Wasted my morning typing this up for you now, Time to actually get some chores done before i need to head out.
I keep getting monica.
I got a call today but from monica, same for emails.
She told me to pick one of her two offers or i'll be waiting a week to hear the next one.
Offers me a upgraded laptop but without the one thing i needed, then downgrades everything and offers me one with a downgraded one of what i asked, and tells me i have to pick or wait a week, for another similar offer.
I'm already going to have to pay 150$+ for a new warrenty even though my previous one i only had 3 months and she wont adknowdge my question about that when i asked. My laptop was NEVER FIXED even once! Only broken more each time it was sent back to me after 3 months, Only having it the times it took you forever to adknowledge or contact me after being a week late a few times to just send me a box to send it back and spending 40$+ in gas to go to the fedex place, and Days wasted at home putting my stuff i needed to do out and about on hold if i wanted my laptop, Hours on the phone, and messing up my last 3 months for things i've needed to do with it, taking much longer on a inferior laptop that i've had to borrow.
As a company, I hope your normal practice is not to delay, not call back, lie to, waste costumers time and money, take unreasonably long times to get something done, and try to strong arm someone because they need a laptop ASAP and most wont take the time to deal with it and accept what ever crappy offer is delt them to get it back in a quickly and timely manner.
97+ days and counting now.
Most days I did not get a call back even when promised, was given the run around that took 2+ hours and 7 transfers, just to be told to call her back from monica the first time she called me.
One week just to get 2 offers back from monica about a laptop replacement, with at least 6 calls over 4 days to even get in contact with her the first time.
Is my money(gas,having to get someone to take care of stuff for me since i was having to wait to sign for a package each time to get it back broken or wrong),
time not doing things i needed to do,
EXTREME inconvenience (Having to message you guys here, on facebook and other places, finding your information, Looking up information about what i can do, how close you guys are coming to fruad or other things, and who to buy for future products instead of you and how to spread the word if this isnt fixed for 3 months now)
Trying to be strongarmed into making a choice that is in no way acceptable, offering me a much better laptop but taking that way because i needed 1 thing changed, after ALL OF THIS TROUBLE! and being told i'd have to wait a week if i dont choose today after already waiting all this time, and being impossible to contact her for 4 days befor she would call me back after sending me on a wild goose chase(Check her log for the messages i've had other case managers leave and then one nice guy at HP who was a case manager, went above and beyond his job and contacted her in person the next morning when she got in to get her to actually call me, If i can i'd like to give reps+ or whatever i can to that employee, He was the one on monday i think that left a message for her on her pc as well i believe, would be the only male that i contacted i think at that time), and being told no one else can help me whenever i call but my case manager that ignores me most of the time and talks to me like i'm no one, just someone bothering her.
