Cannot configure HP8500 on Lion

Lion OS sees my wireless HP8500a printer.  I have added the HP print drivers.  When I try to add as a printer,  it stays in the configuration of printer indefinitely.  I cannot add this HP printer even though it is on the network.  I am using Netgear router.  Please advise.

Try adding the printer when it is connected to the Mac via USB. This should add the printer automatically and if it does see if it prints. If this works, then unplug the USB and try to add the printer when it is connected back to the wireless network.

  • Cannot configure time capsule

    Windows 7 machine is running Airport Utility 5.6.1 trying to reach a brand new Airport Time Capsule. Cannot configure becasuse even when the device is found in graphic form, it cannot be reached using the Manual or Continue options. Do I need to do this setup on a Mac only?  A wired setup is not working either.
    Please advise.
    BaseStation 1298d5

    You might want to review the System Requirements for the Time Capsule:

  • I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
    1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
    2 - Click "Network"
    3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
    4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
    5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
    6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
    7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
    8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
    9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
    10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
    11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
    12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
    13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

  • I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours)

    At first, my macbook couldn't start up. It only displayed apple logo with a spinning wheel on grey screen for hours and hours. Then I decided to reinstall the OS. I tried so many times to install but the installing time said thousands of hours remaining to complete . I left the computer for days but  it didn't install OS. I tried that connecting the Ethernet cable as well but it didn't work.  Then I took out all my important files by connecting it to another macbook and formatted the hard drive. Then tried to install OS again.  But still didn't work. I checked on you tube and changed the hard drive cable as well. Still didn't work. I cannot install OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro. Installing time is in negative hours. (-2,147,483,648 hours). Seriously looking for help.

    My hard drive crashed and nothing recoverable, local Apple Store installed a new drive.  How can I go back and download the apps I had purchased for my previous configuration, for instance Lion 10.7, and Photoshop Elements 10?

    A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion."   Any advice?

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion."   Any advice?

    Right-Click the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer under /Applications and select Show Package Contents and drill down through the folders; Contents/SharedSupport.  Drag the InstallESD.dmg file to your desktop.  Grab an 8GB USB stick as the file is 4.35GB's and might not fit on a 4GB USB stick.  Then mount the DMG by double-clicking it and stick your 8GB USB stick in and that will mount then you can use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to the 8GB USB stick.  Then shutdown and reboot while holding the Option key and select the USB drive.  See if that will let you install Mountain Lion. 
    One more thing, you have to format the USB Stick first and ensure it's set to GUID mode (under Partition tab Options button) or it won't boot.

  • Cannot configure home sync

    I have a couple of portable machines on which users with mobile accounts are installed. On some of the machines I see that I cannot configure home sync. The button in the system preferences:Accounts is dimmed all the time.
    TIA,
    Eckart
    div   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Here's what I did.
    In workgroup manager you configure the Mobility Preferences for the particular User. Then you must also create a computer list for the portable machines which will be using PHD and set their mobility preferences to allow PHD syncing and check "Merge with user's settings".
    That's what I did and it works. Hopefully that's the way it is supposed to be done.

  • Cannot configure Airport Express

    I've set up my Airport Express as a wireless client, the computer recognizes it (it shows up on Airport Utility), but I cannot configure it...everytime I try it says an error occured when trying to communicate, and that's it. All I want to do is play music wirelessly, but I can't select wireless speakers from iTunes...I've already tried a hard and factory reset, no dice...any idea out there?

    Solved my own problem, I guess. Updating the Airport Express Firmware to version 6.3 solved the problem: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml
    The unfortunate thing is that there was nothing via Airport Utility or Apple Software Update that told me it was necessary to do so. The only reason I discovered this as the problem was trying to connect to the Airport Express using Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. It diagnosed the problem immediately and sent me to the proper URL to download the firmware update...
