Additional post
When this happened the first time I found a link on the HP site that was helpful but cannot find this link now but it was just about the same as:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01691296&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&ju...
I find the Print Quality Troubleshooting page confusing. It does not address misalignment. The test pages you get when you press the green button for 2-3 seconds clearly shows misalignment of the magenta cartridge but when replaced with a HP cartridge the exact same misalignment occurs.
I also tried using high grade paper with no change.
HPPDU.exe was run and showed no conflicts.
I updated my printer firmware HPCP1210_FW_Update-20100201.exe

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

    set p2l to "" & (path to library folder from user domain)

    tell application "System Events"
              set maybe to exists disk item the_cache
              if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
    end tell
    if maybe then
              display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
    else
              display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
    end if

  • Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?

    I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
    Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
    Which leads me to wonder:
    Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
    Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?

    If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
    If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
    What is the video card that's in the workstation?

  • I updated to the new software today and now in having several problems! Lost all my contacts. Anytime I try and back up to iCloud it says it can't be complete and now I get a cannot connect to store message. Help!

    I updated to the new software today and now in having several problems! Lost all my contacts. Anytime I try and back up to iCloud it says it can't be complete and now I get a cannot connect to store message. Help!

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top.  It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking.  What to do?

    My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003).  It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top.  I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
    My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me.  I suspect a connection between these two problems.
    I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder.  It hasn't helped.  The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
    Help please!

    Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
    Cheers, Chris.

  • Phone doesn't show up after new software update

    After dowloading the new software I am unable to see my phone when connected to the computer. I'd like to transfer music and pictures but now I can't. Any idea how to get my phone to show back up in iTunes?

    First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
    If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

    And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

  • My 3G won't restore to backup after new software install

    I tried downloading the new operating software for my 3G and had minor problems. After reading online that it is best to go thru the restore process versus updating, my husband and I both followed the procedure online. We both backed up our phones and then restored them to factory settings. This installed the new software on the phone. After that, we restored to back-up. My husband did this with no problem. I have had so many problems. Basically, my phone will restore to factory settings with new software, but when I try restoring to back0up, the phone just freezes up and continues to the reboot screen over and over and over until you hold the nap and home buttons to shut down phone. I keep getting error messages such as "your iphone cannot be synced. the required disk cannot be found.
    HELP!!! I called apple and after 4 calls, the only solution was to take m phone into an Apple store for service. The problem is I live over 150 miles from an Apple store.
    Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I have even tried just running on the restored phone with nothing on it for 2 days and tried backing up today and had the same problem again. Currently, I have no contacts, no emails, no photos, no music, no anything and I live and die by my phone.
    Please help!!

  • Getting Apple TV to work after new software for it was downloaded

    I purchased the apple TV 2 several months ago and it worked fine.  After it suggested new software I downloaded it. After that I could not operated the apple tv.  It simply showed the apple logo on my tv.  I reset it many times as well as the modem and apples router.  The input for the apple tv is ethernet direct from the  router.  I have checked the itunes and have home sharing on.  Any help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, to begin with.
    If you can't get past the logo, get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.

  • Has anyone had trouble with SIRI after new software?

    Having trouble with SIRI after the new software download. any Ideas?

    Basics from the manual are reset, restart, restore.  Have these been attempted?

  • My iPhone will not start after new software update. Freeze on apple screen

    I updated the phone software today through the new software update directly from the phone and it will not restart past the apple screen. I have tried a hard restart, no dice.
    wish I had waited.

    Got it back up and working by putting in recovery mode and restoring through itunes, but lost lots of settings and app. info. I took about 4 efforts to resync after restore, not sure why, certainly not smooth or intuitive. 2 hours of my life I wish I had back.

  • I cannot find the backup of my phone on iTunes after new software download

    I recently had to download new software for my husbands iPhone 4. It had not been updated in over a year. I synced his phone and made sure there was a fresh backup. After I downloaded the new software and installed it on the phone it will not find his backup. iTunes also does not show his phone as one I'm able to select. I is recognizing it as a new device.

    Check iTunes for the back up.
    Windows: Edit>Preferences>Devices>Device Backups
    Mac: iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Device Backups
