Does 10.6.8 support HP Photosmart D7260

My iMac recently stopped working with my HP Photosmart D7260 printer. 
(Cannot honestly remember if this was linked to a software upgrade, but is definitely not
linked to the initial upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 which was loaded a long time ago.)
The printer sometimes begins to print the document, but mostly nothing is printed.
What happens now is :-
     - The Print Queue displays the message "Unable to send data to printer"
     - The Printer Queue shows the printer as Paused
     -The Print Queue finally displays the message "Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able      to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for      printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
The printer is wired to the iMac.
The iMac prints with the same USB port and USB cable connected to my other HP printer (Deskjet 2400)
(I have tried different ports and cables as well)
The D7260 printer works perfectly when connected to a Windows machine.
The same problem occurs when I connect the D7260 to my son's Mac laptop (also on OS X 10.6.8)
On the iMac, I have tried
     - removing and re-adding the printer,
     - resetting the printer,
     - removing and reinstalling all the HP software on the iMac,
     - uninstalling the HP software, restarting without re-installing HP software,
     then downloading and installing from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
     -Gone into Disk Utilities on the iMac, run the "Repair Disk Permissions" for the Mac HD & restarted.
None of the about have made any difference!
I have recently found a support 'conversation' which suggested that the D7260 is now too old, and Apple will not support!
Could you confirm whether or not this is the case?

Have you tried restoring the printer itself with a 'factory reset' and starting over?
If that's a no-go, I remember a thread here recently where a user was having all kinds of trouble getting an HP printer to work, albeit on Mountain Lion and it was a brand new model (not sure which).
In the end the solution was to delete the HP folder from Macintosh HD>Library>Printers, restart and connect the printer as if new. That triggered the printer into going to Apple's support pages and installing the software. After that all was well.
If you do try this, maybe just drag the HP printer folder to the desktop so that you can re-instate it to its original location if it doesn't reslove the problem. If it does, trash the HP folder on your desktop.

  • HP photosmart D7260 Error 0xc18a0001

    Good afternoon all!  I have been getting the Error: 0xc18a0001 - Ink System Failure on my HP Photosmart D7260 printer over the last few days and I have absolutely no idea how to fix it.  I have looked through forums, searched on google, tried things and I have no idea what to do.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
    Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

    Just call HP Tech support. If the printer is under warranty, then they'll just perform a special reset to fix it, or replace the printer for you.

  • Photosmart D7260 photo colors seem off

    HI!
    I've been happily using my Photosmart D7260 for many years and have always been thrilled with the quality of the photo printing. All of a sudden the pictures are either too dark or muddy, or too green  - nothing like the image in my iPhoto. Even if I alter the images (make them brighter in iPhoto, for example), the colors are still not right and the pictures almost look fake! Very hard to describe. Any ideas how I can restore good color balance for printing my own photos?
    Thanks so much,
    Kris

    Hello there @DogDocNJ ,
    I read about the issue you are having with the print quality of your print outs from your Photosmart D7260, and would like to offer you my suggestion.
    Click this guide and try the steps. The cleaning should help!

  • Does the 6600GT-VTD128 support video capture?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an MSI 6600GT-VTD128 video card.  The product information seems to suggest that the card has video input capabilities, and there is an adapter that plugs into the card that has a number of connections, one of which is labeled S-Video in.  However, I haven't been able to get any video capture to work.
    Does the card actually support this functionality?  If not, what are the video input connections for?  If so, is there some documentation as to how to set it up?  
    So far, I tried installing the video capture drivers that come with the card.  I checked the manual.  I checked the MSI web site FAQs.  And I searched the forums.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Thanks Richard.  Yes I do have a breakout cable like that.  Actually, I described it in my original message.  So, I am guessing from your message that you believe that the card should have the capability to capture video.  
    In my original message, I asked if there was any documentation on setting up the card for video capture.  The manual does not describe the procedure, nor does the MSI web site.  
    There are drivers on the CD that claim to be for video capture, but they had no effect when I installed them.  In fact, there appears to be no way to tell whether the drivers were actually installed successfully.
    If anyone out there has successfully used this card for video capture, please let me know.

  • Does Sender Mail Adapter support "PayloadZipBean" module

    Hi everyone,
    I have a scenario where, I get the email with an zip file as an attachment and I need to extract this file and send across. There is no mapping transformation done here, only I need to forward the attached file to the file server.
    Zip file always contains 1 file and is a text file.
    so Its an Email to File Scenario.
    Can I send the zip file as it is without unzipping i.e., send the attachment as iit is to the file server?
    If I want to unzip the file, does the module "PayloadZipBean" support in case of sender mail adapter. ?
    Thanks,
    Varun

    Hi Varun,
    Use "PayloadZipBean " Module at Receiver Communication Channel  in the Module Tab Set the "Module Key.mode =  unzip"
    and Receiver communication Channel file should be "FileName.txt".

  • Get an Error window, The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files

    I am using CS2 and it would not open up my latest RAW files, I was getting a warning Could not complete your request because it is not the right kinds of document. So, I checked the Camera Raw Plug-in and it says Version 3.7. I see that my camera an Olympus E-20 is supported. But it is not opening the Raw files, the day before I took jpeg and they have opened. I will not trash my Adobe Photoshop CS2 because it was a royal pain to install and I don't know where the CD is.
    I installed the latest DNG Converter and when I try to open up the folder which has all the RAW images that didn't open in Adobe, I still get an Error window that says, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." Why? It says it supports my Olympus E-20. I actually have the E-20n, I don't think that is the problem. My RAW icons usually show up as small image thumbnails and this time they are gray icons only with the incorrect date under the icon. Is there another product I can use without spending money? These images I took in RAW were special and I don't want to lose them. Please help!
    Esther

    Hello, I was using only CS2 with my Olympus E-20n for 5 years, no problem. It just started acting up in RAW this year. I downloaded Picasa that same day and now it seems to be opening up all of my RAW files that didn't open the other day. So, I think Picasa installed a new plug-in adaption to CS2 because now all my RAW icons have a new logo on them, the same one that's in Picasa. Strange, but it works now and I am not complaining anymore. I love CS2 and the many ways I can adjust RAW files, so I am using it, Picasa is a sideline now that I can take a look at many thumbnails and it organized all my photo files by the year and folders. Amazing free software. I have probably 60,000 images in my computer and an external hard drive and Picasa picked them all up and made a library, cool.

  • Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

    Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
    And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

    The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

    It's the default sort order. You can choose chronological order( ascending or descending) or by Import batch or by filename. Contrary to older versions, those sort orders are available not only in thumbnail view, but also in Folders view and albums. In albums you can sort as you like 'custom order'. No difference in Mac or Win.
