Compatibility OS X Lion and HP 2610 all in one printer

Hi, I have an old network printer HP Photosmart 2610 and with Snow Leopard I cannot print because system tells that software is not complete. On HP there isn't drivers and software for Snow because is included in system software. Someone has this issue? Solutions? Thanks

Not only is your older printer incompatible with the Lion; but the HP all-in-one that the local Apple stores are heavily promoting at the moment with a 100% rebate are too. Imagine my surprise when after spending an hour in the Apple store where the helpful staff "upgraded" the operating system on my brand new iMac from Leopard to Lion, I returned home last evening to set up my new printer and learned that it is not compatible with OSX Lion. I called the store today and they confirmed that the printers they are pushing are incompatible with the new system. They offered to restore my computer to the Snow Leopard system if I will leave work, pack up the computer and bring it to their store.
I next tried a live chat with the Apple website. That person was unable to provide technical support. She referred me to Apple's customer service number, which I dialed. After waiting on hold for ten minutes a friendly voice inquired what was my issue. When I told her, she offered to transfer me to a technical support person only if I could tell her the Serial Number of my iMac. Unfortunately, I am at work and the computer is at home. I have not yet memorized that multi-digit number.
This is our first experience with an Apple computer. We made the change from Windows based PC with some trepidation, but also with optimism based on great recent experience with an iPhone and on recommendations of many friends. So far the experience has been incredibly poor. I used to love lions. But not anymore.

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are a problem

HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are not allowing paper to feed until several steps are taken first.
(I am using Windows 7. I also use the virtual XP mode and mostly MS Office 2003 docs).
I have had this printer for several years and love it. Before I toss it out, I thought I would check if I could get it to work properly before I buy another printer. Note: I did put in a new HP black cartridge (because it was out of ink) but the printer was not working properly for several days before I changed the cartridge. The printer was at step 5 before ink change.
Lately, each time I turn on my printer, I have to go through the same routine
1. The printer wants to align the cartridges so I push OK
2. The paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing.
3. Error message appears that it is out of paper. So I press OK to continue.
4. It says "aligning print cartridges" runs through 2 sheets of blank paper without trying to do anything and then states "cartridge alignment failed" "Press OK to continue"
5. Screen is now normal and it appears it is going to work.
6. It makes no difference if I used the copy function OR when I send a print job from the computer, the paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing but nothing happens.
7. Error message appears that it is out of paper. OR that it is the wrong size paper. I pull the paper that was at the proper place to be printed from the printer and then the error message says "Paper jam. Press OK to continue"
8. I press OK. The printer will then quickly feed in and eject 2 sheets of paper before it will actually start printing the print job. It will work fine after this as long as I print from the same document.
9. If I want to print a different document then I have to start all over again at step 6 to get the printer to work. If I shut the printer off I have to go back to step 1.
What I have already tried
A. Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver direct from HP web site. I have done this several times with both the basic driver download and the complete package download.
B. I have done a partial reset by unplugging the printer, and then re-plugging the printer while pushing the "# and 3" buttons while turning on the printer. I have done this several times. Each time it will work fine until I try a different document of turn off the printer.
C. I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and used it several times. It states that "everything checks out OK"
D. I have downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 4.0 but it does not work with my printer.
E. I have cleaned all the rollers and blown air throughout to make sure there were no bits of junk in the paper's path or blocking a sensor.
F. I have tried different brands and weights of paper (all 8½ x 11) but nothing works.
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the virtual machine so I could print XP files. This may just be a coincidence because the printer has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer being on.
Thanks for looking at my issues. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result. Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper"
I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem.
I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner. One for black and one for color. The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down. Currently the black ink icon is missing
This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem. The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs. This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer. As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

Looking for HP Basic Driver only for hp 2610 all-in-one printer

I have windows 7( Just recently installed) and a HP 2610 all-in-one printer.
I just wanted to download the printer driver only and not the HP Photosmart and office software Suite.
This webside say the printer driver only is availble as a separate download named "HP Deskjet Basic Driver"
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-76831-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
But I cannot locate the webside for the Basic driver only for Windows 7 OS. Can somebody locate the web address of "HP Deskjet Basic Driver" for me please.

Installing software for MAC 0S X 106.8 and ENVY 7645 all in one printer

Is there a way to download software so that my MAC OS X 10.6.8 and work with my new HP ENVY 7645 all-in-one printer?
If so, please tell me how to do that? Thanks!

Hi,
I afraid not.
The printer is only supported on 10.7 or newer OS versions, as listed within the System Requirements below:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04353671/
If your Mac support Yosemite you may upgrade your operating system to 10.10 for free:
https://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/?
The other option os to replace the printer with another model which is compatible with your operating system.

Airport Express and HP F4180 All in One Printer

Hi
I just bought an Apple Airport Express to connect my F4180 to my wireless home network. This F4180 used to be connected directly via USB to my Vista PC and was available to the other laptops by sharing the printer. This worked ok, but I always had to start this specific computer to make the F4180 available for the other laptops.
After installing the Airport Express and Bonjour everything seemed perfect, but after the first print I noticed that only 60% of the page was printed and an error occured. I tried everything, installing, reinstalling, deleting, reading forums, helpdesks, etc, etc, but did not find an answer.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanx in advance
Henri
Vista,
HP F4180 All in One printer,
Apple Airport Express (latest version),
Apple Bonjour (latest version),
Linksys E200 wireless
Apple Airport Express installed as extension of existing network

This combination SHOULD work but it often does not. I have replaced several base routers from non-Airport to Airport and resolved issues like this - USB printers, AirPlay issues, etc. Its the only way I know how to make it work, sorry.

EA4500 Router and HP OJ8600 all in one printer interface questions.

Hello- I am running IE11,WIN8.1,1TB HD,12GB memory with Linksys's EA4500 Router connected to computer via Ethernet cable. The computer is a Lenovo desktop(K430). I ran a Troubleshoot HP installation test on the interface between the computer and EA4500. I opened my Linksys's Smart Wi-FI to perform the two following tasks.The Troubleshoot HP Installation suggested that I should set MAC Address Filtering to Disabled which I did with no problems. The Troubleshoot HP installation also suggested that I find my printer's MAC address and add it to my list of devices that are allowed to access my networh. How do I do this? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should do a print configuration page from the printer and that should detail you all infomration regarding MAC and IP addressing. I recommend not using Mac Filtering as it's not needed. I recommend setting up a static IP address ON the printer, 192.168.1.86 which should be outside of the main routers default DCHP pool of .100 thru .199. You'll need to refer to the Mfr help and information on how to set up networking and the configuration of the printer. Review the User Manual as well.

HP 2610 All in One Utilities Problem

Hi, I've got a problem with my HP 2610 All in One Printer. I'm trying to clean the cartridges/check the ink levels etc, and normally I would have done this by choosing the printer from the System Preferences printer section, but when I click the Utilities icon, an error message says that the printer was not turned on or connected.
I've uninstalled the software, reinstalled the basic printer driver, but the problem still persists. It won't show me any ink levels, allow me to clean, align etc because of the fact the Mac thinks the printer is turned off, despite the fact that I can print to it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I also tried plugging the USB cable into the actual computer rather than the keyboard, but it had the same effect.

HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one refuses to apply manual IP

My home network has a HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer on it. Occasionally all the computers on the network see the printer as offline (Vista and XP). The printer must be deleted and then added again in control panel to make it work again.
This is happening because the printer IP is changing sometimes.
I am trying to assign a static IP by going to the printer server in a browser (192.168.1.101) in my case.
Then I click the "Networking" tab on the top, select "Wired (802.3)" on the left, select the "Manual IP" bullet, and enter "192.168.1.126" in the "Manual IP Address" field and "255.255.255.126" in the "Manual Subnet Mask" field. When I click apply, the standard 'page loading' progress bar in the browser starts but never finishes Opening a new browser and going to 192.168.1.101 confirms that the IP has not changed. I tried this in multiple browsers (IE8, Chrome) and nothing would work.
I also tried "telnet 192.168.1.101" in a command window but I couldn't get it to connect.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One, Manual Two-Sided Printing, HP e-mail support Ticket no: 8028153835

HP e-mail support, Ticket no: 8028153835
I purchased my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer in 2005. It was previously installed on a HP Laptop, Windows XP, and all the features worked.
It is now on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32. When I tried installing the printer software CD, it wouldn't load because of the Vista OS. I then loaded the HP Photosmart 2600 series full feature printer driver (Vista OS compatible) from the following HP website link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47754-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
Now I cannot get the Printing Preferences to allow Manually Duplexing (two-sided) printing. This option was available on the original printer software.
I've tried the solutions on: HP Image Zone Help / Two-Sided Prints which indicate: Click the Finishing tab / In the Document options area / select the Print on both sides check box (this box is not available).
When I run the printer from the Control Panel as Administrator, the printer Properties / Device Settings show Manual Duplexing: Enabled. When I go to the printer Properties / Advanced / Printing Defaults, neither the Finishing / Print On Both Sides check box is available nor will the Printing Shortcuts tabs allow the Print On Both Sides option to appear (only shows Print On Both Sides: Off).
HP e-mail support told me to install this patch to correct the problem:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69848-1&cc=us&lc=en&...
When I try installing the patch, it won't load because it wants the original CD software. So I'm back to my initial problem of trying to load the original printer software that won't load because the CD is for Windows XP OS. I am at an impasse between the Software CD that I have, and what is available on the HP website.
What is your solution?
This question was solved.

I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and the Deskjet 6500 is not one of the choices. Any subs?
Also, if it were, do you download the driver?
The driver is supplied through Windows Update. Go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, then select Windows Update. It will take a few minutes to update the list, then the Deskjet 6500 series will be a choice under HP (not Hewlett-Packard).

Problems Printing to HP 2610 All-in-one

Hi Folks,
First off, I'm a Windows person so please don't assume I know the internals of OS-X very well (my wife is the Mac user, but is not the household "techie"). That said...
When we try to print documents to the HP 2610 All-in-one (USB connected directly to her G4), the print dialog comes up looking "almost" normal. The bottom of the print dialog only offers a "?", "Supplies.." and "Cancel" (but the left half of the cancel button is chopped off). "Send FAX Now" (greyed out) is also there. No print button! "Supplies" offers to sell me ink cartidges and "cancel" of course cancels the print job. Where is the "Print" button and how do I get it back?
System preferences, System Profiler shows the printer as available, the default, USB and running HP driver version 7.3.0 (the latest one HP offers and the one I installed after upgraging to OS-X 10.4.3) is 7.3.1). System Preferences, Printers also shows the printer as available and on a USB port.
I have tried printing from TextEdit, Office:X Word: Service Release 1 and AppleWorks 6 (6.2.2) and get the same messed up print dialog.
Oddly... the system has no problems printing to a Brother 1440 Laser (not defaulted) connected via USB to one of my Windows XP Pro systems. It can't print to it's direct connected USB HP 2610.
