Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn)  performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

  • Got error message with web based application that it would only work on MS Explorer 6.0 or newer. Any work around for this?

    When accessing a web based program I got a message that it could only be accessed using MS Explorer 6.0 or newer. Is there a work around for this?

    There is a way to do this.
    But it works or not, I have no idea.
    Enable  "Develop menu".
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click the Develop menu and select "User Agent"
    There are choices. Do not forget to make Safari default again afterwards.

  • I am U.S. iPhone 4S user traveling in China.  Data speed is too slow to be usable.  Verizon says that it because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal even if slowest.  Any work arounds for this design flaw?

    I am U.S. iPhone 4S owner traveling in China.  Data speed is too slow to be usable.  Verizon says that is because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal, even if slowest (virtually non-existent) data network.  Does anyone know how to work around this design flaw?

    I spent 2 months in china with my old iphone 3gs.  Both China Unicomm and China Mobile were accessible through my US phone.  (for you other users, yes my phone bill was sky high, but it's a small price to pay when you get instant access to your wife while you are gone... and to be able to use the google translate app).  I had a GSM phone (obviously) and had the ability to choose what carrier I wanted my phone to connect to (the same thing was available when I was in italy as well). 
    it was under
    general-> network> then there was a new field (that does not normally show up when in the US) that listed the available networks to connect to.  my phone always attempted china unicomm first, and switched to china mobile only when unicomm was unavailible. 
    but if wjosten is correct (and i imagine he is), cdma phones may not be able to choose what network to connect to. 

  • "Erase Free Space" work-around for non-apple ssd

    for those of you attempting to "Erase Free Space" per knowledge base article:
    "OS X Lion v10.7.3: User account passwords appear in log files for Legacy FileVault, and/or network home directories"
    quote:
    "6. Open Disk Utility.
    7. Select your OS X Lion volume on the left.
    8. Click "Erase Free Space…".
    9. Select the Erase Free Space Option you want and click "Erase Free Space". Enter admin name and password if prompted."
    but instead seeing a grayed out "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility?
    you can perform an "Erase Free Space" by using WipeFS app by Jonathan Clark which can successfully perform a DoD (Department of Defense) wipe for digital media, apple's Disk Utility doesn't do this anymore with non-apple solid state drives (ssd)
    references:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS4272
    http://itunes.apple.com/hr/app/wipefs/id484887048?mt=12

    ...but instead seeing a grayed out "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility?
    See,
    Mac OS X: About Disk Utility's erase free space feature
    which says,
    Note: With OS X Lion and an SSD drive, Secure Erase and Erasing Free Space are not available in Disk Utility. These options are not needed for an SSD drive because a standard erase makes it difficult to recover data from an SSD. For more security, consider turning on FileVault 2 encryption when you start using the SSD drive.
    Also google "erasing space on ssd".
    Bottom line, it is not something you want to do to a ssd.

  • App store not showing up in software update..  Any work around for this?

    When I run software update it runs and then says that all software is up to date. I don't have an option to install the app store.. Is there any other way to install it?

    I totally understand the confusion. That's how I ended up here on the discussion. I am running 10.6.5, so according to Apple's instructions below, this should have worked. Apparently, they need to correct their instructions. Here's what the App Store page says about installing it:
    The Mac App Store is available as a free software update for Mac computers running Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you have an earlier version of Mac OS X, you will need to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    1. Update your software.
    Click the Apple icon, then choose Software Update. A dialog will appear on your desktop. Click the Install button in the dialog to begin the installation. You will be instructed to restart your Mac to complete the process.
    Thanks for clearing it up.

  • Any work around for importing NEFs modified from NX2 or LR?

    I just got Aperture. Here is workflow I have a question for. I make changes in NX2 of the original NEF. I attempt to import the modified NEF into Aperture and Aperture will not even show a thumbnail of it.
    1st, why doesn't Aperture at least import the original NEF, preferably the last modified NEF, either from NX2 or LR? As a note, Photo Mechanic will show the modified NEF, and LR will only show the original NEF.
    2nd, if I convert it to a TIFF from NX2, which Aperture then can import, what do I loose from the NEF, if anything should I want to again modify at a later time (capturing in 14 bit)?
    Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: D3 Shooter

    You need to do a bit of homework on the nature of RAW and, to a lesser degree, the differences between Aperture and Lightroom and a pixel editor like Photoshop.
    -- A RAW file is not an image. It is literally the raw output of the sensor. It cannot be edited, only read by a RAW converter, or, if you prefer, developer. At this time, there is no program that can actually edit RAW data.
    -- Capture NX reads your raw NEF. If you make "edits" they are merely changes to the development processing; the original raw data are never changed. Capture NX can, indeed write these changes back to the NEF, but they are stored in a separate part of the file, that only CNX can read.
    -- AP and LR have their own RAW development routines (LR uses Adobe Camera RAW). They read the RAW and store their "edits" in separate files, stored in their databases. These files are recombined, on the fly, everytime you view a file.
    -- Thus AP cannot read "edits" performed in LR (or CNX) and vice versa.
    -- The only workaround is to open a RAW in the program of your choice, make the "edits" ("adjustments" in AP speak) that you want, and then save a copy as a TIFF, JPEG, or similar. Thus you could open your file in CNX and save as a TIFF that you send to AP.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Does anyone know a work around for cs6 not supporting video on windows 8.1? Can i use another program to open it and get it into photoshop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.

  • Work around for iSync and k800i calendars

    Hi all,
    I am using OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4. On my Mac, I have to use Entourage to be able to use the email server here, so I sync my Entourage calendar with iCal by having 1 calendar in iCal called Entourage.
    I have just bought a new SE k800i and when I first tried to sync, the contacts worked fine, however no calendars went across. I made sure the right calendar, in fact the only calendar, was selected in the iSync preferences but no joy.
    I have no events that repeat further than June,so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Does anyone know of any work arounds for this?
    Also, what's the best way to Sync, would it be via bluetooth or can I do it via USB?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I don't think slideshows (or the iPhoto library itself) is backwards compatible with earlier versions of iPhoto, but I'm not sure. If that's a concern, exporting the slideshow as a QuickTime movie might be the best option, but that's getting off the subject of the thread, so if you have further questions about that, you might want to take it up in the iPhoto forum where people more familiar with iPhoto will be able to help.
    Regards.

  • Work around for User ID 32 character limitation in CCX Agent?

    Are there any kind of creative work arounds for getting past the ridiculous 32 character limit when logging into the CCX Agent?
    We are moving toward using the User Principal Name (UPN) in CUCM LDAP which means that the domain is now tacked onto the end of their existing User IDs.  We are doing this so that users from multiple domains can authenticate to various Cisco tools and apps.  It works very well, except when firing up the Agent!
    I've already been playing around with UPN suffixes, and while I can get them to show up in CUCM (and subsequently), I can't seem to get them to authenticate.
    I shouldn't even have to get this creative, just remove the 32 character limit, Cisco!
    We are running CCX 8.5 and CUCM 8.6

    Hi ,
    I am not aware about any such workarounds.
    After referring to the below guide,
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_5/configuration/guide/uccx851ag.pdf
    On page 78, it is mentioned as,
    Caution : When logging into Cisco Agent Desktop, agents use the Unified CM user ID and password. While the Unified CM limits agent IDs to 128 alphanumeric characters, the Unified CCX limits agent IDs to 31 alphanumeric characters. Be sure to abide by the 31 character-limit when configuring agents in Unified CM.
    I am sure even if it works by some workarounds also, you may see some issues specially from the CAD\CSD\CDA side, which Cisco will not support it quoting the same above reason.
    Hope it helps,
    Anand

  • Work Around for a Panasonic AJ-D750 deck

    I recently upgraded to FCP 5 from 4.5. Since the upgrade I can not digitize from my Panasonic AJ-D750 DVC Pro deck, RS422 connection. Does anyone know a work around for this? Any information would be great!

    Hi, I had the exact problem with a Panasonic AJD950 deck. This is the response I got from Brian Conner
    " I wonder if this is caused by the deck polling problem that FCP5 brought about. FCP5 doubled the amount of deck polling it does during pre-roll and Panasonic decks don't like that.
    A couple of my support clients use a plug-in that Aja tech support passed on to me. The plug returns polling to pre-FCP5 levels. I think the plug was written by Panasonic.
    Try contacting Panasonic tech support to see if that's the case. "
    and thankfully he saved me from another two months of capturing films in 3min segements.
    I managed to find the disable polling file from someone on another forum and I haven't had the problem since. Maybe you could try to google it, or contact Aja, otherwise, if you still can't find it, I can email it to you (as far as I am aware it works with all capture cards, we have Blackmagic).

  • Work around for server not found problems on FF36

    I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
    If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
    Preferred: 8.8.8.8
    Alternate: 8.8.4.4
    Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
    Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
    It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
    Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

    Well done. Thanks for finding that.
    That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.

    * https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2015-03-03#Schedule_Update
    With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.
