Deskjet 4480 and "Printer Offline" message after moving laptop and re-plugging.

I have an HP 4480 deskjet All-In-One printer wired to my HP dv6-2150us laptop (Win 7) with an USB cable. The printer is the network printer for my HP laptop and an Acer Aspire netbook (XP).
Often,when I unplug my laptop from the power source and from the printer's USB cable to take my laptop to another area to do some work and then bring it back to the computer table, and and reattach the cables to power and printer OR when I shut down or put into sleep mode my compter, the next time I attempt to print I will get a Printer Offline message.
At that point, I have to turn off the printer, unplug it from the laptop and power source, shut down the laptop and netbook, reattach everthing and plug all in again.
Then, my laptop, to which the laptop is plugged in by USB, will show that the printer is reinstalling, just as if it was the first time install.; I am even asked to re-register the printer.
Note that when the netbook is shut dow or, unplugged to use elsewhere, it is often unabale to print, showing "no installed printer." Then I have to search for a network printer and re-link it to the netbook.
All this is quite frustrating. I have read the forum for similar posts, but nothing quite seems to match.
As to a link offering a download for a printer trouble shooting link, i cannot seem to actually find the way to begin the download. I see a questionaire form but no download link. Hmm.
i am not a newbie, but stumped about this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Applescript to open the Choose Folder dialog box and close the message after moving it

I've been trying to figure out how to get the same functionality as the Windows version of Outlook has so that the open message gets closed when it's moved to another folder.
It seems pretty simple to move a message to a pre-defined folder, but I can't find a way to open the Choose Folder dialog so I could choose the destination folder. I've looked through the dictionary, but couldn't find any direct way to activate the Choose Folder dialog. So I decided to use keystrokes for the job. Here's what I came up with:
on run {}
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
        try
            set theMessage to first item of (get current messages)
            set folderID to the folder of theMessage
        on error errMsg number errNum
            set dialogReply to display dialog "Please select one or more messages to file away before running this script." buttons {"Abort"} default button 1
            return
        end try
        -- open the Choose Folder dialog
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "m" using {command down, shift down}
        repeat
            delay 2
            set currentID to the folder of theMessage
            if currentID is not folderID then exit repeat
        end repeat
        -- Close the active message
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
end run
This is my first attempt to do anything with AppleScript..
Now in addition to using keystrokes instead of Outlook built-in commands to open the Choose Folder dialog and to close the message, I also have another problem. Everytime I run the script from AppleScript Editor, everything runs fine, the message gets moved to the folder I choose and the message also gets closed. When I move the script to "~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items" and start it from inside Outlook, Outlook gets stuck after opening the Choose Folder dialog and I have to force quit Outlook. I added some debuggin to the script and found out that the script keeps running, but I'm unable to select the folder from Outlook and cannot continue.
Anybody have an idea why this is happening?
Regard,
Kris

(For the record)
Unchecking "Submit crash reports" in the Firefox [[Options window - Advanced panel]] General tab simply toggles the default of the "Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it" check box in the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog (upon crash). It does not turn off the Crash Reporter itself.

Mac 'printer offline' message

Hi - I have an imac running os10.9 just upgraded with an HP photosmart 5524
Before the upgrade I tried to print and got the message 'printer offline' - this is the third of fourth time now I have had this, each time I have then had to de-install and re-install the software.
I upgraded to 10.9 and tried to install the relevant driver - only to get an error message when I tried to expand the driver download - I have checked permissions and they are all fine, and re-run the download three times only to get the same error each time.
I have reverted to your 12.23.0 driver - twice downloaded and installed and am still getting the 'printer offline'
I have reset the printer and added it in preferences - same problem.
This is truly hopeless - please help before I through this printer out
Chris

Hi DevonS,
I understand that you are getting an error message installing the Photosmart 5524 on your Mavericks operating system. Could you please follow the instructions in this document for Error Message on a Mac Running OS X v10.9 Mavericks.
If you are still getting the printer offline message follow the steps in this document for 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

I keep getting this message after closing Firefox and attempt to reopen-Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

How do I retrieve my recent calls and recent text messages after I restored the settings

How do I retrieve my recent call log and recent text messages after I had to restore the settings?

If they were in your most recent back up and you restore your phone to that back up, you'll get them back. If they're not in the back up, there's no way to get them back.

It is possible that you inadvertently corrupted the file while doing the edit.
But it could also be possible that you moved the file? For iMovie to see it, it should be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.

You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

There was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name

there was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name
it was add-on to show me the source of any click able content
like pics on twitter or Facebook
also the videos on youtube
and it showed a little icons with small pic shape on it with different colors
and also sometimes with a small lock shape on it
now i need to know what this add -on name or how to get it back

Add-ons are not auto-deleted as far as I know...
It's possible that the extension or userscript simply doesn't work correctly in Firefox 22 due to a change in Firefox. If you look at the add-on pages, often the reviews will mention whether the add-on is broken in a new release.

Hello there,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to sync music to your iPhone, you will need to use iTunes on your computer, and then follow the directions in the article linked to below.

Try here:

Did it work before you tried a restore?

Hello there Nihalith,
It sounds like you are trying to download a purchased album, but not all the tracks are listed as being purchased. If you still have the receipt that was emailed to you when you bought it, you can use it to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store directly with this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
To report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase, follow these steps:
Find the email receipt for your purchase.
Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How To Copy and Print Multiple Message Basic Header Info

Is there a way to highlight multiple messages and then copy, print or export ONLY the basic header info such as From/To/ Subject/Date/Time, etc?
I've tried several things but always get the entire message when I select and try to copy or print a list from the Inbox or other mail boxes.
I looked at this article that seemed promising:
http://email.about.com/cs/macosxmailtips/qt/et071803.htm
. . . but can find no such "print selected summaries" dialogue or option to do so.
Any suggestions?
This would be for a printed list of email headers such as one's secretary might give one or email to one as a "heads-up" of what's on tap.

What I was hoping was that the features had been moved but were still available. Apparently now you can only copy and paste or print the entire message except if it's HTML in which case, that text cannot be coped from a header list.
Thanks!
