Can't get printers to print after installing new modem

I just installed a new wireless modem. My 2 printers are the OfficeJet 6500 E709N and C7200, operating on Windows 7-64. Both printers are connected to the network, both say they are ready to print, but when I try to print I get an error "Printer-status error". I check the printer status from the cntrol panel and it has the triangle sign with exclamation point inside. When I cancel all documents from printing it immediately goes back to being ready again, but the same thing happens over and over again with both the printers and both computers. Hope this is clear...I'm pretty computer illiterate. I usually can mess around until I get something fixed, but have no idea how it happened. I've been working on this problem for hours and just can't get it. Everything worked fine until I installed the mode, but I was able to connect them both to the network. HELP!!!

Turns out my problem appears to be the USB 2.0 Hub I was using. When I hooked the printer up directly to the iMac, it works as advertised. I wonder what is the issue with USB hubs and 10.5.6? It worked fine with 10.4.11. Any ideas about this one?
Thanks
Rod

Can't get printers to show after installing 10.5.6

I've tried everything to get my Canon iP6700D connected after installing 10.5 over 10.4.11. Nothing has worked. I downloaded the latest driver for Mac from Canon (version 583). I've trashed the Canon files in Library, Receipts, Preferences before reinstalling the driver. I repaired permissions using Disk Utility. I've called Apple Care. I used their sequence to power everything off and on. They finally said I needed to do an erase and reinstall of 10.5. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Rod

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

Can't get past setup assistant after installing leopard...

i am having trouble getting past the setup assistant after installing leopard on my other computer which is a 1.25 ghz G4 desktop. Everything seems to be going fine then the setup assistant comes up and i go through the exercise of filling it out and at the end it says click on done and then you can use the computer. unfortunately it goes right back into the setup assistant like i had never gone there before. it is in some kind of loop. would it be wise to reinstall leopard? if so, does it know that it was installed already and rewrite over the first install? or is there something else i may try. i tried resetting the PRAM and some other things recommended but nothing seems to work. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance...

mr_magicman,
I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It sounds like you went for the (default) Upgrade option.
Okay, how about trying this:
1. With the *OS X 10.5 Install Disk 1* still in the bay, Restart your computer. Without access to menus, you'll have to use the power switch to turn it off. +[Alternatively, if you do have access to menus, select the Restart command (in the Apple menu) — always the preferred method.]+
2. If you're using the power switch method, here, wait about 10 - 15 seconds then depress the power switch again for about 5 full seconds (or until you hear the computer come back to life). +[Alternatively, if you had selected the Restart command in Step 1, the computer will start up again on its own.]+ *Either way, as the computer starts up, press and keep pressing, the Mouse until the disk ejects.* By the way, if you're using a Mighty Mouse with a left and right option, press down on the left side only. Hopefully this will get you out of the loop caused by your Install DVD remaining in the drive.
Finally, to be fair to you, I must tell you that there's a more suitable Forum for your particular kind of problem, viz., *Installation and Setup* (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219) I recommend you check out the questions/answers in that Forum in case your question has already been asked and answered.
PS. If you do re-post your question in that Forum, don't forget to mention whether or not you internal hard disk has been backed up.
GOOD LUCK!

DeskJet 5550 won't print after installing new black ink cartridge.

I recently got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge. It printed out the check page like normal after installing the cartridge but will not print anything else now. Not even a test page. I tried pulling the cartridge out and putting it back in. Tried unplugging the plugs on the back of the printer and plugging back in. Tried turning the printer off and back on. Also tried restarting the computer. I downloaded the HP Print Diagnostic Report and it could not find any problems. Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well first I went and bought another black ink cartridge to rule out the cartridge being the problem. That was not it. So then I unplugged the printer and cleaned it thoroughly and plugged it back in. Still didn't work. So I went into the properties on my printer and started messing with the settings. FINALLY I FIXED IT! I clicked on the Advanced Tab and then clicked on Print Processor. I then changed it to WinPrint and retried the Print Test Page on the General Tab and it worked! Woo Hoo!

Problem getting on the internet after installing new 10.4.8

Hi,
Can anyone help me?? I've had internet problems for ages.. I'm with Bulldog broadband, and finally we worked out it was because the modem was not compatible with my 0SX 10.4
I finally got them to send me out a new modem which was compatible (friday) and on Saturday, my mac reminded me there were new installs and I've loaded 10.4.8.... now I have the same problem as before! The new modem is not compatible! Looks like speedtouch modems are not keeping up with Apple.
Anyhow, I wondered is there a way to go back to my old OS until they catch up? Or is it worth buying a new modem, and which one.. everyone seems to do great ones for PC, but not MAC.
I would love some advice, if anyone has any ideas!
Thanks,

Hi again Julia.
To find out if you already have an Airport extreme card click on the Apple top/left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. Then select 'More Info' from the box that opens. Scroll down in the resulting window to Network>Airport card. Select 'Airport Card' and it will either say something like:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
or:
No information found.
If the former - well you've got one and it will work with any of the brands, and more, of those I mentioned in my first post provided that they are 802.11b or g compliant. (Which they will be, it is the accepted standard. The 'g' standard, though, is faster for networking.)
If the latter then things may be more complicated as the Power Mac G5 Late 2005 apparently has some arcane compatibility or space issues with Airport Extreme cards. I haven't a clue about those so wouldn't be able to help other than to suggest that you contact "an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider" as advised Here, under 'System Requirements'…
All down to which model you have apparently.
Feel free to ask for more help,
Adrian

I have a new printer and can't get it to print. ink installed properly. any ideas?

Please help me. I have a new printer set up today and it doesn't print. It is wireless and drivers installed correctly as is the inks x 2. It says printing alignment page but nothing comes out. Any suggestions for me? Thanks kindly,
Sue

Try to perform a HARD RESET on the printer first. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and leave it out for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, see if it aligns and finishes the job.
After alignment, try to print a test page from the printer or make a copy. This job is to make sure that the HARDWARE of the printer is working correctly.

Can't get lightroom to run after install

I had the demo running on my mac for a while and last week time was up
The start up screen would pop up and then it closed down.
So I ordered the full package and installed from CD but its still closing the first window out so I can't register
Any ideas please?
I have also just ran the upgrade to 1.1 to see if it would fix it but no joy

Dear sweetah,
Found a solution myself. I've re-installed Proruntime 3.1! Although I did have Proruntime 3.1 running it is not working properly after the 10.4.3 update (?). After re-installing it Logic get's passed 'setting up memory' and seems to work fine. You can get Proruntime at
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport31macosx104.html
Hope it works for you too!

How can I get my iPhoto back after installing Yosemite OS X 10.10.3?

Can I have iPhoto and Pictures (Yosemite 10.10.3) both on my iMac? How do I get the iPhoto back on screen and compatible with Yosemite 10.10.3?

Where is the actual instructions to getting my iPhoto back on my iMac? I can't stand this new OS X Update 10.10.3 for the new photo's app! This community page only talks about the 10.10.2 but no instructions on how to retrieve the previous version back?
The new display is awful, not appealing at all, can't label the pictures with names anymore, editing pictures, cropping and etc? Not user friendly! I don't like anything about this new change!

Can't get G3 to boot after installing newHD

Hi. I am a new iMac user -- I got this machine from a friend for my kids and I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. Sad to say if this was a PC I could just run fdisk /mbr and it would just work.
I put a new 20GB HD in this machine. I booted using the OS 8.1 CD. created a 7GB partition. Installed 8.1 to this partition using the erase restore option. I made sure in the control panel that the HD is selected to be the boot disc. Yet when I remove the CD and reboot the machine gets a blinking "?" and just sits there.
Any advice for a mac neophyte would be appreciated.
Thanks much.

Did you set the jumper on the drive to "master"? That is essential, for booting from the drive. Here's a link to some useful information:
