Can't find Add a Device option Photosmart C4700

I have a Photosmart C4700 that I am trying to set up wirelessly. I had it working once before, and for some reason it no longer works. After MUCH trial and error, I have been able to set it up again to work while connected to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.4) via USB. However, when I insert the install CD  to change the connection from USB to wireless (as the pamphlet that came with the printer instructs), I do not see an Add a Device option. Instead, it appears that I will be taken through the whole install once again, which I don't want. 
How can I change from USB to wireless without going through the whole install once more? 
Thanks.

OK, let's back up.  Does your CD say that it supports 10.6?  If not, you have to uninstall it with the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
Finally, install the correct software from here.

  • Having trouble syncing my mobile phone, adding a device, with firefox 4.o where do you find "add a device"?

    Where do you find the "add a device" option in firefox 4.0 so that you can sync your mobile phone to your desktop?

    Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't see a toolbar like that on my 4.0 version. I had already seen the help information. Thanks. I thought perhaps those were the directions for version 3.0? Am I missing a toolbar?

  • RT: Remote desktop says "can't find a suitable device for drive C"

    Hello,
    there is a french post on exactly the same topic, but I can't apply the solution given there.
    My problem is the following: I have a remote desktop prepared to work as RT target. It has been checked for compatibility, the hard drive has been formatted in FAT32 format, it has been found by my host and has been assigned a static ip address. I have installed the software I need ( LabView 9.0 RT) using MAX. Now, when I try to boot it with the option "boot using software installed into the hard drive", all I get is the message
    "Can't find a suitable device for drive C"
    I have reseted the BIOS, have tried formatting the hard drive in the other format, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, tried to start the target pc without the usb stick, but nothing seems to work.
    Do you have any ideas about what is going wrong?
    Thank you,
    Samuel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So you've got a IDE (and not SATA) hard drive? That should be supported anyway.
    That would only confirm my experience... it's hard to find hardware compatible with LV RT. Before buying you cannot know if it's compatible. Once you have it the evaluation tool might tell you it's supported but still it might not work. I tried several motherboards in the last years, most of them did not work.
    Your best bet might be to use relatively old hardware.

  • Can't find a bootable device after trying to install Windows 7 in bootcamp

    I've been trying to install Windows 7, 64 bit. Haven't managed yet due to problem that I've just posted about in a separate thread. Now, though, when I switch on it says 'can't find a bootable device'. If I switch on whilst holding down the Option key, the (OSx) internal hard drive is there and I can boot up. But I don't want to have to do that every time... Tried resetting the PRAM as advised, made no difference.

    Look at Apple () -->system preferences -->*Startup Disk*
    hope this helps

  • I'm using Mail 7.3 but can't find a "Block Sender" option, as exists in Outlook, as a way to block spam and unsolicited advertising. thanks.

    I'm using Mail 7.3 but can't find a "Block Senders" option - as exists in Outlook - as a way to prevent repeated spam and advertising landing in my Inbox. Anyone have a solution for this? I've had a look at the Message Rules option but that doesn't seem to offer a fix. Thanks

    You should be able to manage the problem with Rules, if you are happy to just delete the emails without you ever seeing them.
    In Mail>Preferences>Rules, create a new rule with these options:
    Description: Give a name to the Rule, such as Delete or Block Sender
    On the line started 'If' choose 'Any' from the drop down menu and on the next line select 'From' and 'Contains', and then input the email address of the unwanted sender
    Under 'Perform the following actions' choose 'Delete'.
    As other senders you want to block send you unwanted emails you can add them to the rule by clicking the '+' sign against the line you added the email, if you have an email from that sender on screen when you edit the rule - they should appear there automatically.

  • My Windows XP AirPort util and Bonjour can't find any wireless device

    I have both macbook and a PC laptop.
    I just started using my TimeCapsula and all features (Internet gateway, access to the USB printer and the external harddisk) are visible and working fine when using my macbook.
    My PC wireless card seems to be working fine too and I can access the Internet using the Airport gateway.
    My problem is that Airport Util and Bonjour on my PC "can't find any wireless devices" (even though It is clearly working fine) and therefore don't detect/mount the external drive or the Printer.
    Thanks!

    How do your Extreme and Express connect to one another? Wired Ethernet between the two, or wirelessly?
    Try unplugging the Express. Does that change anything?
    Wireless interference could cause the symptoms you're describing. Even though you did nothing to your wireless network, the presence of other wireless networks or introduction of nearby devices will bring interference where there was none before.
    AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of interference for wireless devices and networks
    Try changing wireless channels; use "automatic" unless you have reason to use a specified channel. Try checking "interference robustness". Altering these settings may help, but they could make things worse.
    If you are unable to configure a device over Airport, or changing a setting leaves you unable to configure it wirelessly, connect its Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port and Airport Utility should find it.
    As a last resort, try a "hard reset" followed by re-configuring the Extreme, Express, or both. Start by removing your Express from the network. Re-configure the Extreme and see if that fixes things. If it does, add the Express to your network and re-configure it as well.
    AirPort troubleshooting guide
    I open airport utility ... can not locate any of my wireless devises, airport extreme base,, airport express, apple tv, wifi printer.
    AirPort Utility will only detect Apple AirPort base stations (Extreme, Express, Time Capsule) for purposes of configuring them. It is not designed to detect or configure other wireless devices like your printer.

    Thanks for your reply....FYI...I was trying to download from www.adobe.com on
    the specific page that has downloads of your products.    As far as the
    alternate source is concerned I am not totally sure what the capabilities it has as
    I am recovering from a hospital stay and had to send my wife to retailer to
    pick this up because I am accessing email from home until I return to work and
    need something to work now.  I don't yet have the SW.  (I would have had her
    buy the actual Adobe Pro 9.0 -- but it is a wapping $499 and change).

    They're not meant to communicate with each other that way. The bluetooth is largely meant for keyboards or  headphones.

    Computer can't find iphone.I can't even hear a device connecting sound.Cable is working.I can't find iphone on device manager and in control panel too

    The phone is stuck in this mode because it needs to contact ATT's activation servers when you plug it into itunes. There is most likely a connection issue Firewall/Antivir software blocking certain connections/ports.
    Common AV/Firewall programs that cause this issue: Norton, Mcafee, Zone Alarm, and CA (computer associates).
    Unfortunately you cant fully "disable" these programs so its a matter of knowing how to configure them or remove them completely using their respective removal tools.
    Otherwise, bring the phone to an Apple Retail Store or ATT store to have them activate it for you.
    Hope that helps.
