Archive & Install, now printing issues

Hi all,
I have two printers: an HP6110 AllinOne, and an Epson Stylus Photo 1200. I recently performed an archive and install of my system, and then Software Update updated my system to OS10.4.11 (it was 10.4.10 before the archive and install).
There are two parts to my current problems.
1. The original Epson driver does not work anymore. (Version 1.29 is what I have, can't find anything later.) The CUPS/Gutenprint driver does work but doesn't access all the features of my Epson printer. So, what that means is that the color calibration settings I have for the Epson driver are no longer accessible. I need to be able to print color that is correct and calibrated to my monitor color.
2a. Printing a page to the HP6110 off the internet results in a blank page being spit out, followed by a page that is cut off at the top, meaning only the bottom half of the page is printed on the paper. I have tested this printing from FireFox and Safari.
Page setup seems normal.
The HP driver version is 2.7.2. I have tried to download from the HP site but it always times out, so I don't know if I have the latest driver or not. (I think it's something with my firewall settings, but I haven't been able to figure it out. One thing at a time.)
An internet page prints normally when sent to the Epson, but the HP is my workhorse printer. The Epson can do large format, so I usually keep large paper in it and just use it for that and for color correct printing. (Greg S., if you're out there, I tried to download the HP driver from OpenPrint with no luck.)
2b. Although I can print to the HP6110, the color looks terrible--all washed out. I will admit that I have not gone into Adobe Bridge yet to see if my color settings survived the Archive and Install. So that may fix it for my Adobe apps. Word docs are not the same as they were, but not as badly off as the Adobe docs.
Thanks, Folks! --D

Update: Re Issue 2b: I checked the color settings in Adobe Bridge for my Adobe apps. They are all set to my original settings, using the calibrated profiles, so all is well there.
I have been reading about other printing issues and may try some of those solutions offered:
1. unplug everything for a while--although why this would solve it who knows? Crazy! But easy, so worth a try.
2. download and reinstall the 10.4.11 update from the Apple web site, instead of running it via Software Update.
3. reinstall OS10.4.x from the original disks and then download updates only through when you could last print, 10.4.9 or 10.4.10.
I will post my results!

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

After "Archive and Install", my printer no longer works

Powerbook 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4
Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
I recently had some issue with my password, so the Apple Genius people ran an archive and install, reset the user password, and got me back to my original state. However, I've had to run all these updates now, and can't figure out how to get the printer to work again. It worked perfectly fine before the archive and install, it was recognized right away.
I have tried the following:
I uninstalled and then reinstalled the printer software (Epson Stylus CX6000) from the installer CD. Didn't work. Unplugged and turned off power, then re-plugged and restarted everything. Didn't work. I have no idea what to do here. I downloaded any new updates to the software from the Epson website. Didn't work. Help?

If the correct printer driver is missing, and the Print selection
box says Any Printer, it may be unable to use that one.
See if the printer can be used in a different user account.
Sometimes if the system is messed up (even pros do it)
there may be a way to see if the issue is system wide or
if it is based in a problem in the admin user account.
Some optional printer drivers may be available at the printer
manufacturer's web site for downloads. Sometimes there is
a newer one for the entire class of printer models, and so
it may be for yours. Or there is GimpPrint/GutenPrint for
other drivers; their web page shows supported printers.
{Since you state that you've tried other driver options, then
you may have to consider doing a new 'archive & install'
and be sure everything is done right, and then update it.
Or an all new installation on a wiped empty hard drive.}
There should be a printer error log accessible through Console
and perhaps it may shed some light on the basic problem...
PS: Is this printer an Ethernet and USB printer? If so, have
you tried whatever other connection/cable to see if it works
when running on the other available protocol? The Ethernet
printer would use an IP address or hardware MAC address
and the appropriate cable, if the printer supports both.
Good luck & happy computing!

Issues, iphoto won't open after archive install.

Hi there, got issues here. Previously I had accidently deleted a very important file in private/var/ and had to do a archive install. The shop swapped out my original 500 GB and put in a 2 TB. Great, turned it on, everything looks good. However, couple things not going so well. My pro apps aren't working but thats in another thread and now, I went to open iphoto and it won't open, says:

No I do have a back up Its kinda long to explain but last a little over a week ago, i delete a important file in my private/var folder and screwed up my computer. Worst part was I didn't run time machine for almost a month that way all my pics that I did bring on weren't backup up. i know this sounds careless but normally does happen like this. Anyway I had to take my imac into to get it fixed and the only way to do it without losing all my data was to do an archive and install and of course my drive was full so they had to swap it out and they put in a 2 TB and ya, so now I am where I am at. Everything is here but got pro app and iphoto issues. I guess worst case scenario if something does go wrong on the install I kinda do have a back up as the old drive can be put into a enclosure and used as a HD but I guess it is a bootable drive so I don't know if it would mount properly. Thanks for you help though/ Really Appreciate it.

Error in Archive & Install and PB not booting now.

I have a PB G4 with OSX Tiger 10.4.11.
After doing an auto-update of QT, there was a "shared library error" that prevented me from opening word, excel....I decided to perform Archive & Install.
The installation process was going well until a message appeared saying "Please try installing again".
I restarted my computer and got to "Select a destination volume to install the Mac OS X software" screen only to find that there was no destination listed to select. Earlier there was "Macintosh HD" but now there was nothing.
On opening Disk Utility I got to a window that had four discs listed in the left-hand column of the window. These were:
a)74.5 GB TOSHIBA MK8026GAX
b)Macintosh HD (in light grey colour which shows that it is inactive)
c)4.0 GB MATSHITA DVD-R Uj-845E Media
d)Mac OS X Install Disc 1
Under the "First Aid" tab in the main column I selected 74.5 GB TOSHIBA MK8026GAX and clicked "verify". It gave an error message: "Invalid node structure. The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS Checked Volume needs repair."
Then I selected Macintosh HD & selected "repair" & got the following error message:
Invaild node structure. Rebuilding Catalogue B-tree. The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked. 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error. Repair attempted on 1 volume. 1 volume could not be repaired.
The other two tabs, "Verify disk permissios" & "Repair disk permissions" were inactive all the time.
I even clicked on "Mount" when the "Macintosh HD" was selected. That gave the following message: "The disk Macintosh HD could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
Now when I switch on my PB:
a)If I DON'T have the installation disc1 inside the mac…it just gets to the grey screen with apple in the centre and after 2-3 minutes it switches off automatically.
b)If I HAVE the installation disc1 inside the mac then it gets to the basic installation screen telling me to select language and continue which further leads to the select destination screen with no destination to select.
Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with my mac? All I did was an auto-update of QT 7.2 to 7.3.1.
Please help.

unmo:
Let's begin with HDD space. A too full HDD is an invitation to disaster. As I noted previously, you should have a mimimum of 5 GB free space for virtual memory, swap files and whatever you are working on for OS X to function efficiently. A too full HDD can lead to directory issues, as you learned, data loss and an eventual HDD crash. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space gives more info on this. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk has excellent suggestions to clear some of the clutter. In addition, you may be well advised to consider a larger internal HDD, and, if you do not already have one, to initiate a backup strategy. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery offers helpful suggestions. If you have questions about any of these please do post back.
Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance and Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance are excellent resources of OS maintenance. Look them over and post back with any questions that arise.
Good luck.

Archive & Install, Where did my printer settings go?

I just upgraded to Leopard from Jaguar on my PowerPC G4, by way of Archive & Installing. On top of my printer settings being reset to defaults, my RIP software (FastRip Pro) doesn't work with Leopard yet. Did I lose all of my previous RIP/printer settings? If not, where would they be in the previous systems folder?
I'm thinking about going back to Jaguar until the new RIP software is released..
If I do downgrade, will I lose my previous system folder?
Any advice appreciated...
Thanks

Glad to help.
I suspect your settings are in the folder named "Previous System" but Leopard simply did not migrate it. That's why I think a clone would be perfect. Unfortunately you did not clone Panther, so your only hope os that the settings are in that folder I mentioned.
Download a copy of CarbonCopy Cloner - it's free:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Then get an external Firewire drive like a LaCie. I have their 500GB quadro. Then using DU on Leopard, partition it so that your MBP files will fit in the smaller partition when you clone it.
The other partition is perfect for TimeMachine - that's the way I use it.
Now, using CarbonCopy, you clone your Leopard onto the smaller partition on the external drive. Takes anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour. The LaCie has FW800 on it which makes things fly.
After you have cloned your MBP, restart it holding down the Option button and the external clone should show up as a bootable system. Select it and boot into it just to be sure.
Once you have your Leopard preserved, then you can erase your internal drive using the disk utility on the Leopard DVD (boot into the DVD by holding down the "C" key when starting up.
Erase your internal drive including the free space and then shutdown. Startup with your original Panther CD and install it. You should be asked to migrate, but I don't know if Panther will see the Leopard archive. No problem yet.
After you get Panther running again, use Finder to look into the archived folder on the Leopard clone and see if you can find your old stuff.
Seriously, by the time you do all this, it might be that your new software will be available. But still, it's a great learning experience and as long as you have that clone, you have not lost anything except what was not installed when you installed Leopard.

HP Printer issue after installing Mountain Lion

Hi, a few days ago I posted the following question regarding a printer issue and so far I have not been able to fix the problem. Here's the original question and I will continue the explanation after this....
Hi, I am a fairly new iMac owner and I am really happy with my apple, however I have an issue with my printer and I kind a "blame" Montain Lion for it. I have been using this HP Laserjet P2015 dn printer for a long time, initially with Windows and now with iMac. The first year approximately there was no problem at all to print and the transition from Windows to Mac with the printer had no difficulties at all. It was connected wirelessly via router. After downloading Montain Lion I notice the printer intermittently lost connectivity. The only way to print was turn off and turn on and it will print fine until the next time. Now out of the blue it's doing the same thing so frequently I can't print a complete document at all. It starts, and finish without printing the entire document or not connect at all. I have tried everything, including a static IP address for the printer, connect the printer to the computer via USB, downloading all the printer updates from HP and nothing seems to work. Just now, I did it again (for 100 times so far), delete the printer, reinstall and it's doing the same thing. It connects fine (either via IP or USB) and it last connected only for a minute or two. That's it. It's a shame, because I like the printer. The printing quality is great and to add more pain, I recently got a new ink cartridge ($100.00) capable of printing 3000 pages. It has 70% of ink still. Any computer sabby person out there has any ideas for me? Like I said, I've done everything.... inluding,
1. Remove the printer
2. Update the drivers
3. Assign a static IP address to the printer
4. Connect via USB
5. Disconnect the printer for a while and restart the whole process again
6. Did a "cold start" to the printer
I don't know what to do, and I don't want to spend more $$$$$ on a new printer. Is Montain Lion to be blame for? Please advise me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
At this point I do have the printer connected only via USB, prints one page (perfectly) and then goes offline. Before installing Mountain Lion I did use the printer with my Mac for almost a year with no issues at all. I even downloaded Mountain Lion again thinking of any flaws during initial installation. I've done all the updates, drivers, uninstall, re install, repair disk permission, static ip address....you name it... I've done it all and nothing seems to work. What makes no sense to me is that prints so great only one page and then is gone.... I would be happy to know the printer is dead and go get a new one but in my mind if it prints ok one page it still works. I don't want to have a new printer and find out it does the same thing. I can't keep myself away from blaming Mountain Lion. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REMOVE MOUNTAIN LION WITHOUT THE RISK OF DAMAGING THE COMPUTER???? PERHAPS GOING BACK WILL PROVE ME MOUNTAIN LION IS THE CULPRIT. Just saying... I am totally frustrated. I guess the next step is to get a baseball bat and fix the printer once and for all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any fix for this? I have the same problem after upgrade. It's off by many seconds. Thank you.

Login and Archive & Install issues

I'm posting on behalf of a friend who's been having trouble with his macbook. He was having some issues with it earlier this evening, so he decided to reboot, and now he can no longer log in to the computer. When he tries to log in, the login window disappears as usual, and a generic background comes up for a few seconds, then the screen flashes blue and returns to the login screen. I have found posts by other users describing the same problem, and the solution is always to do an archive & install.
Unfortunately, when he boots from the disc and goes to install OSX (Leopard), the only option available is erase & install. I've also found reports of this happening, but the solutions involve changing stuff while OSX is running, which obviously isn't an option here. Why would the archive & install option not be available?

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Archive & Install issues

All,
For the past week, I've been struggling mightily with Leopard to get it to run smoothly after upgrading from Tiger. After I upgraded, my computer ran slow (the dreaded spinning wheel), I got a blue screen for some time before the OS loaded, and a variety of other issues with programs and some installers. When I clicked on Macintosh HD, it could take upwards of 2-3 minutes for the computer to think through the process of simply opening a folder.
It got to the point where I even upgraded from 1 GB of RAM to 2 GB's, just to see if that would make a difference. It didn't (sigh). I also ran Disk Warrior on 10.5.1, which is not recommended yet, because they haven't put out an update. However, after doing that, I fixed my permissions with Disk Utility as well. So we got back to the original settings anyway.
I tried to revert back to Tiger, but when that didn't work, I simply just erased the drive and installed a clean copy of Leopard (after backing up my files, of course).
I'm happy to report that after a clean install, Leopard is now running incredibly smoothly on my Intel MacBook Pro with 2Ghz and 2GB RAM. So much so, in fact, that I can't believe I had the problems I was having.
So, my advice to anyone who is having problems going from Tiger to Leopard after and Archive & Install is: just back-up and install a clean copy of Leopard. The biggest problem with this is that you'll lose your applications, so you'd better make sure you have the passwords and either the original CD or the installer for a program as a backup on your external drive.
Hope my expereince helps someone to make a decision.

I think everyone would agree that a "fresh" installation will run much better than a hashed upgrade. There are a lot of reasons an upgraded system might not perform properly, from incompatible apps and/or drivers, corrupted prefs files, RAM and hardware issues, etc. Most if not all of these are circumvented when you erase your HD and install the OS "from scratch". Since this is a major upgrade and not a "periodic update" many feel it is better install a "clean" OS rather than attempt to upgrade an existing previous version. On the other hand, many have upgraded without issue. In any case, it's nice that you got your system running the way it should.

I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies. I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies. What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

Try resetting the printing system.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

Archived install issues

first off my wireless card has been acting up and was sometimes not being recognized until after a shut down and boot-up. now, after the mac mini installed the latest security update and tried to restart itself a black box popped up telling me to restart the computer i should press the restart button or hold the power button. there was no restart button so i took the other option. upon restart the wireless doesnt even come up in the bar at the top and there are a few settings that have been changed to ones that were set some time ago. its acting kinda like it went to a system restore point. after trying to do an archived install i am left with about 7 gb of hdd left from an original 17. im wondering why i lost so much hdd space, and if i do a clean erase and re-install if that is going to delete by boot camp partition and the windows xp.

i found out you can delete previous installs safely and have done so to one of them. as for the airport, its hit or miss as to whether or not it will be recognized. when it is recognized it sometimes shows that it id receiving the signal. since it is being found sometimes i'm guessing that its not hardware, and just some really odd softwar glitch. any ideas on how to get this glitch fixed?
thanks,
zach

Time Machine no longer backs up after archive & install

I have just had something mysterious happen to my Macbook - it spontaneously shut down, then wouldn't restart past a gray screen with Apple logo. After trying every troubleshooting page I could find, I ended up doing an archive and (re)install of Leopard on my hard drive. (btw, I ran the Disk Utility hard drive diagnostic, and it said the HD is fine, though I'm skeptical because it's making new noises I've never heard before.)
I finished that install, restarted, everything seemed fine, and I re-connected the external hard drive that had been used for my Time Machine backups before. Now, every time it attempts to back up, it's stuck on "preparing" for 30 minutes, then starts copying SLOWLY and the progress bar says "6 KB of 10 GB." Well, I have a lot more than 10 GB to back up. Then the process halts and I get an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." And I can't get any more specific information about the error - can't find a log file or anything.
I know that there's a troubleshooting article about Time Machine issues with only backing up 10 GB, but mine doesn't even get that far, and besides, this is not my first Time Machine backup - I have no other external drive big enough to transfer my older data to while I reformat this drive as the support article suggests.
I was thinking that perhaps a system setting got messed up somehow and that maybe I should just forget this archive & install thing I did and instead do a fresh erase & install on my Macbook hard drive and then restore from Time Machine's old backup (a day or so before my Macbook started acting weird). But 1. would that make a difference? And 2. if Leopard gives me an error while backing up in Time Machine, what if I do the erase & install and I get an error trying to restore from Time Machine? That would be a nightmare.
My Macbook has always been so reliable - I'm very confused about what's going on! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm; the external drive had no errors, according to Disk Utility.
Here are the time machine logs from Console:

Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
message (probably the same one mentioned above).

HP ENVY 100 D410 Printing issues...

I have an HP ENVY 100 that has recently started having printing issues. We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and had no problems in the upgrade nor have we had any other software that we've changed. The problem seems to be somewhat random and the results are always the same. When commanded to print the printer acts as if it is running out of ink and then distorts the fonts creating vertical lines on the page and skipping rows creating what almost looks like a bar code. It's most peculiar and the only way I can find to solve the issue is to completely restart both my system and the printer. Thinking that I had a driver issue on my Mac I used the utility on the printer to update drivers and none were found. To insure that the problems wasn't isolated to just my machine I tried our laptop as well and it seems to have the same problem. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hi Talon,
That more liekly related to the software indeed, I would suggest trying the following steps:
Reset the printing system as listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01371980
Open the Applications folder, then Hewlett-Packard and then open the Device Utilities folder, launch the HP Setup Asisistant and follow the steps to reconfigure the device.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder simply re-add the printer by clicking the plus button under Print & Scan.
Now try printing and follow for any difference.
If the same persists uninstall any HP Software by following the HP Uninstaller under the Hewlett-Packard folder.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder follow the steps listed under Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 > I used Apple Software Updates to install the product software below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02440673&tmp_task=useCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5157536#N1305
Download and isntall the latest Lion Software below:

Once completing the installation click the Apple icon and install any available Software Update.
