Connecting form MAC OS 10.7.5 to HP officejet pro 8620

I am running MAC OS 10.7.5.
Have just bought HP officejet pro 8620
After initial setup wireless printing worked but then stopped and now when I try to print the computer cannot find the printer.
I have reinstalled the soft ware - both printer and computer are showing full wireless connection.
Also tried plugging in direct wire connection and still does not find the printer!!
Help please

Hello,
From the post i understand that when you install the printer it doesnt find the printer.
Could you please provide me with more details like when it stopped printing did the printer encounter sleep mode issue.
Whats the model no of the router.
When you try to add the printer to the print and scan is it identifying the printer as Bonjour Multifunction.
Try the below steps.
1- Restore network default.
2- Check if the printer name is listed under in Print and Scan under System Preferences. If Yes
3- Press the Control Button or Right click and click on the Printer icon " Reset the Printing system" this will remove all the printer in the queue.
Run the wireless setup wizard and see if you can find the router and get connected
Go to System Preferences, click on the + symbol on the Print and Scan window see if it identifies the printer.
If fails lets try using wireless direct.
Click on the wireless Direct icon and enable wireless direct, its present left side to the Wireless icon on front panel.
Click on the Wireless icon on the Mac select the Printer Name.
Now go to Print and Scan window and see if you can add the printer.
Thanks..

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620 - set up problem with MAC OSX version 10.7.5

    I have just bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 and all set up fine to a point. Problem is that when I try the HP Utility set-up and click on "Add Printer" and identify it as "Bonjour Malfunction" and select the printer from the pull down menu list, I receive the message:
    "The software for this printer is currently unavailable, please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software". 
    I have already downloaded the latest software from theHP website - but stil no resolution. 
    Any help please would be gratefully received.

    Hello @Kennynic!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to provide some help regarding your Officejet 8620 and installing the software on the Mac.  The first thing I suggest is to ensure all the HP Software is removed from the Mac. I suggest uninstalling the HP Software.  After the software is uninstalled I recommend performing a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built in the Mac operating system designed to locate and resolve issues or errors that may cause complications when re-installing. After the repair disk permission is complete restart your Mac and try adding the printer again.
    To uninstall the HP Software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
    To perform a repair disk permission click here: Performing a Repair Disk Permission
    There is only software available for Mac 10.10.  Unfortunately there is no full feature software and driver available for Mac 10.7.  You should still be able to add the printer using the AirPrint drivers.  Go into System Preferences from the Apple icon and click on printer and scanner.  In the printer and scanner window click the add printer icon and you should be able to add the 8600 printer via Wi-Fi and AirPrint.
    I recommend checking for software updates on the Mac. To check for software updates click the "apple" icon at the to left and click on "software update".  Install any HP or printer updates. After any updates you should restart the computer. and try printing.
    Please post back and let me know how everything goes!

  • Mac can't install USB/Ethernet extension Officejet Pro 8610

    For some reason I keep getting this error, "The system extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." during the driver install from my Mac to my new Officejet Pro 8610.
    I installed the drivers for my new Officejet Pro 8620 on a different computer and had no issues. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please try repairing the disk permissions as following:
    1. Open the the Applications folder.
    2. Go to the Utilities folder.
    3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
    4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
    5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
    Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
    Next, go to Computer (click on Finder, then select Go > Computer)
    Select your active boot volume (will more likely be listed as Macintosh-HD)and then navigate to System > Library > Extensions. locate the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, copy it to your desktop (for bakcup porpuses) and then delete it from the extensions folder.
    Next reinstall the latest software below and check for any change, if the issue been resolved you may delete the backup file from the desktop.
    Please let me know if that helps,
    Shlomi

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8620 has stopped printing from Mac OSX.

    I bought my HP Officejet Pro 8620 less than 6 months ago. It started making a grinding noise as it printed. Then it said it was low on cyan. Then it stopped printing because cyan was depleted. I bought new cyan today. I put that in and it now says "There is a problem with the printer or ink system. If problem persists, contact HP." I have tried many suggestions for over 2 hours. I opened the carriage and looked for paper. None. When I tried to download software, it said "something bad with your device. Device is in error state and cannot be reflashed because of this. Resolve the problem and try again."
    I have tried to use e-print but ended up keeping usb connection.
    I can't touch the printer panel because it is stuck on "Printer Failure" and no areas are in view to start over other than turning the printer off and on by switch, by unplugging cord. How do I resolve the problem? Thank you.

    Yes, after an hour online following time on the HP online site, the technician's Hardware Supervisor said I needed a new printer. Thanks for your answer.

    I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
    Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?

    Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    If you send them an email, they will help if you don't see option.
    Prior to sending them mail, select the exact model you have from the

  • How to connect my Mac to my analog phone?

    I know this sounds like a weird question, but I need to connect my Mac laptop running 10.5.2 to my Polycom phone. I know there are many options like Skype, etc... but I need to use my own softphone which goes to a company dialer. For example I use ohphonex. This allows me to dial any number and point it to an IP gateway to receive my call. I can use this with the internal mic and speaker, or attach my mic to it, but quality is still not great. The polycom phone I have is an excellent phone and when I am talking to other business executives with strong accents - I need have really **** good quality.
    So what I want to do is to be able to dial out of my laptop, and have the voice and the mic be used with the phone. I would like to connect the phone to the laptop so if I want to dial a phone number from the phone it will dial the program I choose (or another softphone that can let me me choose the IP gateway), and I want to be able to use the Polycom Clarity Soundpoint phone.
    Can anyone help?
