During setup HP PSC 2175v printer locks up XP computer when usb cable is connected.

During setup HP PSC 2175v all-in-one printer locks up XP computer when usb cable is connected. Only hard shutdown and restart to get computer working again works. How do you fix this issue?

The USB port on the PSC2175V may be defective or the XP USB port is defective.
Can you try the PSC2175V on another computer?
Check the XP device manager for any problems, do other USB devices work ok?

Can't print from pc to mx922 via usb cable.

I have a mx922 and I'm running windows 8.1
Can't print from the pc using a usb cable but the 922 will print wireless.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thank You.

Hi mrmustard,
There is not a specific setting to make it so that you can print via USB; what error or message do you receive when trying to print? Also, do you have another USB cable that you can use to connect the printer to your computer?

Can't install Solution Center on Windows 7 64 bit to PSC 5140 printer shared from XP computer.

I recenntly got a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit installed. I have a HP Photosmart C5140 All-in-One printer installed on a Windows XP desktop as a shared printer. I am able to print to the printer from my Windows 7 laptop without a problem. I want to install the HP Solution Center app so I can scan, etc from my laptop. When I try to install the Solution Center on the laptop, it starts the install process fine but then gets to the dialog where it wants to know how the printer is connected. The only options it provides is direct connected (USB) or network connected. I choose the network connected option. It asks for the IP address of the printer which isn't available since it is installed on the XP machine using USB. I have tried using the standard MIcrosoft fully qualified network name (can't remember the technical term right now) for the XP computer where the printer is installed (i.e. \\computer_name\printer_name) but it still won't allow me to continue with the Solution Center install. Possibly this type of install is not possible? I thought I did something similar a year or so ago with a Vista laptop I had.

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer. Help tells me to connect to computer with USB cable

I cannot scan anything at the moment despite the fact that I was able to do so several weeks ago. I went to the HP online support site and downloaded a scan doctor programme. It tells me that I do not have the proper scan software on my system and to download it from the HP website. It does't take me to the specific software I need but to a list of things I don't have so I downloaded all of this. I am half way through the setup process for one program and it is asking me to connect the printer/scanner to my computer using a usb cable so that "the settings of your wireless network can be communicated to the printer". I don't remember getting a usb cable with the printer but if I did I have no idea where it now is. What are the chances that finding this/buying this will actually solve my problem and is there a way to solve them without the cable? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @translator82,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Deskjet 3520 is telling you to connect it to the computer with a USB cable. I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
To download the software, please visit this website, HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers, if you are using Windows 7 or above, it is recommended to use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
In the meantime, page 33 of your printer's user guide has all the options of how to connect this printer. User Guide. For the traditional wireless setup you will need a USB printer cable. Otherwise, you can always try Wireless Direct.
Hope this helps!

If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
a driver is required
some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
much storage left for media and apps
then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
Can someone help please?
Thanks!

I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

Wicd locks up my computer for five minutes before connecting.

Hello, a few days ago wicd-curses just inexplicably stopped working properly. I can use it at both of my houses with no problem (for both wired and wireless connections), but when I try to connect at school or any other place except for my two houses, nothing will happen, my keyboard will completely stop working for about five minutes. Then things work again and wicd connects me to the internet. This all started happening around the same time as the kernel update a few days ago, although I don't know that it's a problem with the kernel or how it was installed or being used or whatever. I've also noticed some considerable performance decreases since the wicd problem that weren't there before. Somethings will freeze for a few seconds then come back online.
Whenever I try to use wicd to connect I get the following error message. I've tried to restart the daemons (both wicd and dbus) but to no avail. Any help is appreciated. If you need more configuration information I can provide it. Thanks.
DBus failure! This is most likely caused by the wicd daemon stopping while wicd-curses is running. Please re start the daemon, and then restart wicd-curses.

Hello, It's been a little longer than I anticipated but oh well.
I turned off the wicd daemon and that solved all the slow response/performance decrease problems I'd had before. I suspect that when the kernel updated, wicd hadn't been properly equipped to handle certain software on my computer, and this in turn caused dbus to act all wonky, and making some applications slow to respond. I would bet it was my wireless driver (the broadcom wl one) that was the problem, but I doubt i'll ever find out.
For now I'm going to try a different networking client, probably networkmanager although it seems a little tricky to try and get that to work in xmonad. If wicd ever updates and fixes itself, I'll probably go back to it.
Thanks for all your help.

Acrobat x1 pro locks up my computer when I try to edit a pdf file.

I have done a repair and updated it and the problem still happens. I have to hard boot my computer to get out of the lockup. I am running win 8.1 on a dell laptop. Any suggestions on what other steps I need to take to fix it?

Hey kenr31530102,
Please check under "File > Properties > Security" whether editing the document is allowed or not.
Does this happen with all PDFs or any particular document?

You might try right clicking on Acrobat icon and choosing 'Run as administrator' option.

HP laserjet pro M1536dnf wireless setup to use Air print

Since I trying to print from my new Ipad Air, excuse my newbie networking printing questions!
This what I know so far:
1. I understand my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'not' a WiFi printer.
2. As per HP Support and the Apple Support web sites, my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'Air Print' enabled. I guess a certain firmware update must of incorporated the Air Print capabilty!
3. As per HP Support web site, I currently have the latest firmware installed ( 20130815 ).
Note: On my Config Report, it shows the status for both IPv4 and IPv6 as 'Network Cable Disconnected '. I have Show IP address as enabled.
3. My home setup has the cable internet going from my cable modem to my wireless Linkys E3200 router via coaxial cable. From my router to my computer is wired via the Ethernet cable. My HP Laserjet 1536dnf printer is wired to my computer via USB cable.
Questions:
1. Going from I seen and read on on-line, is correct to say 'I will have to change my Ethernet cable going from the router to the computer and change it to from the router to the printer's Ethernet port?
2. Will I have to remove the USB from Printer to the computer?
3. By removing the USB cable between the printer and the computer, how would my computer communicate to the printer to perform a print job? Unless, I'm guessing, I add another Ethernet cable between the router and my computer's ethernet port!
4. Any other tips, that I might have missed?
This question was solved.

HP CP-2025dn: "Printer is busy" error message when printing.

Hi everyone!
I'm using CUPS 1.5.3, foo2zjs and foomatic-db-foo2zjs (for my Samsung printer) and I'm trying to install a HP Color Laserjet CP2025-dn network printer. I use the CUPS web interface to do so, and everything seems to work fine. I use the ipp:// protocol (the hp:// one does not work) and use the hpijs driver for the printer. I've also tried other drivers such as the hpcups variant, and both HP CP2025n drivers.
Every time I try to print, CUPS says that the printer is busy (and processing), but I know for a fact that I'm the only one on the network sending jobs to it. Other Linux machines can print to it. If it changes anything, the black toner level is low and the printer displays a warning, but still prints on other Linux machines using older version of the hpijs and hpcups drivers.
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks!

This worked for me. I have an IMAC and wife has a laptop MacPro. Epson printer connected USB to IMAC and MacPro normally prints from local router network. Could not get MacPro to print.
On MacPro repaired disk permissions.
Delete printer.
Reset print preferences. Control key and click on empty printer add/delete box and select when it appears
Shut down Mac Pro
On IMAC, disconnect printer USB cable.
Connect cable to MacPro.
Start MacPro
Dialog box asked to install Epson software. Agree.
Test print.
Shut down MacPro
Reconnect printer cable to IMAC.
Insure print sharing is turned on
Start MacPro.
Delete printer and reset printer preferences as above
Add pinter. It should now appear. Select
Turn on shared printing
Test. Worked for me.

HT201263 My phone is stuck on insert usb cable connect to itunes screen. this happened during my iOS 7 update.

I was updating my iPhone 4S to the iOS 7 system. During update my phone froze. It's stuck on insert USB cable connect to itunes screen. I've already tried turning my phone off holding Home key while inserting my cord into phone and nothing worked. I've tried DFU mode and that wont work either. What the heck do I do now? So annoyed with this.

I've also restarted my computer and still nothing.
