Failed to Open a Session on the Device - scanning from Mac OSX 10.9.3 - M1217nfw

Hello,
I'm running into some issues scanning wirelessly from our HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP from any Mac running 10.9.3. I've tried to "Reset Printing System" and re-adding the printer with no success. Each time I open either Preview/Printers & Scanners/Image Capture, I receive the following error message: "Failed to Open a Session on the Device." When I add the printer, I do so by selecting the "+" icon, and selecting "Add Printer or Scanner..." selecting the printer from the list listed via bonjour, and "Select the software" but my model printer is not listed. The closest printer listed is HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MPF Series, but it doesn't work. Any ideas here?
This question was solved.

Welcome to the HP Forums jpuebla,
I see by your post that you are having issues scanning, you aren't able find the drivers to add the printer.
I can help you with this issue.
The drivers for Maverick are the Apple Update drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
(make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
You might have to run the Apple Updates again with USB cable connected to get the drivers installed.
Then try and add the bonjour printer again.
Test the printer again.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IPProtocal.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
Test the printer.
I have seen the HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X drivers work successfully, if the issue persists.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

I can't scan with my HP Photosmart Plus B210a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime I attempt to scan to the computer. I'm using the most current driver off the HP website for Mac OSX Lion 10.7

I can't scan to my computer with my HP Photosmart Plus B2010a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime. I'm using the most current driver for OS X Lion 10.7 off the HP website.

I get the same "Failed to open a session on the device" message with Apple Image Capture as I do with the HP Utility software.

Officejet J3680, Failed to open a session on the device

Officejet J3680, connected by USB to Mac Mini with OS X 10.9.5.
It had been working fine for a long time, but now scanning is broken. Printing still works fine. Full functionality (both print and scan) works fine if I connect the USB cable to my MacBook Pro with same OS.
Specifically, I get the error message "Failed to open a session on the device." This occurs for all types of attempted access (Preview, Image Capture, System Preferences> Printers & Scanners> Scan> Open Scanner...)
I have tried various solutions, up to and including a full uninstall and reinstall, with reboots of both computer and printer.
Apple Software Update (in App Store) indicates that I successfully installed HP Printer Software Update Version 3.0.
Printing System has been Reset multiple times.
Any clues? It is super-frustrating that it works on my laptop, but not the desktop (where it is intended to be attached.)

Hi James!
Thanks for getting back to me, and yes you're correct and forgive me for overlooking that the printer is working with other devices.
Here are some more suggestions:
Remove the print driver by following these steps first: Sunshyn2005: FRUSTRATED!!! HP 6700 Scanning feature not working with my MAC
Complete a manual uninstall next: Sunshyn2005: Re: Scan Definition
Install the v3.0 driver again: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
If that still does not work, try Creating another user account
Hope you are enjoying your Monday

Failed to open a session on the device

I recently updated my hp printer to version 3.0. I tried to scan a document but no longer can. I have uninstalled my printer (hp Photosmart C5280 all-in-one) and installed it again. I keep getting message that it has failed to open a session on the device. PLEASE HELP! My scanner was working fine before this last hp printer software update.

Welcome to the forums CKamm1 and @MissOctober ,
I read about the issue you are both having with your printers and seeing the message "Failed to open a session on the device". I have some links and suggestions that may help you both below.
If either of you are connected to a Mac computer, try these steps in order:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Re-add the printer
If you are on a Windows OS, please run the Print and Scan Doctor and let me know the results from running this diagnostic tool.
Also, if either of you are still having an issue, let me know which OS X or Windows OS you're running and if your printer is making copies successfully.
Thank you

How do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

how do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

Hello Kwastfamily,
It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

[Solved] VirtualBox Failed to open a session

Hi everyone,
I've installed virtualbox, qt and virtualbox-additions
I've also added the following to /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(vboxdrv vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
I've also added my username to vboxusers
When I start a session in virtualbox i get the following error message-------------
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine "Linux VM" ---- Linux VM is the name of the Virtual Machine
VT-x features locked or unavailable in MSR. (VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
Any ideas why the VT-x features would be locked or unavailable?
I've tried 3 different iso images but every time I get the same error.
Thanks in Advance I'm certain I must have missed a step at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
However I've rebuilt several times and started from scratch at least 3 times. each time I get the message above

DSpider solved my problem. I had Enabled VT-x/AMD-V which caused the conflict.
Once I unchecked the box everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help guys.

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?

When I disconnect my iphone 3gs(iOS) from computer, the device disappears from my itunes. This prevents me from doing a wireless sync. how do i fix it so that my device stays on itunes without having to plug it in all the time?
it worked the first few times i did it but the next day after i closed out of itunes once, the device only appears when i plug in my phone.

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

I believe I have implemented it correctly but I am not receiving the notifications on my phone. I have an ad hoc provisioning profile set up. I have the device token from the phone through NSLOG to console. I have the dot net code running without errors.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

IMAP account access by itself does not provide for syncing contacts, calendar events, and notes or anything over the air. This is possible with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync with the Exchange Server.
If your company email account is an Exchange Account, your company's IT Dept. has enabled IMAP account access for your Exchange account on the Exchange server?
If an Exchange account, the IT Dept. must have ActiveSync enabled for your account on the Exchange Server to create and access the account as an Exchange account which provides Push access for received messages, and over the air syncing for contacts and calendar events with the Exchange Server.

Client fails to install (push) Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP

I have a feeling the two errors are related but I’m not sure where to begin to troubleshoot.

Thanks for your reply, and yes I believe it is all set up as it needs to be, but obviously I'm missing something.
I will add this: the client will eventually install. I am still testing of course and each of the 2 clients I have pushed it out too has gotten this error but
I come back the next day and it has installed.

Error pushing client "Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP...."

I am new at SCCM. installed 2012 R2 and SQL 2012 R2 on a single server. I created a boundary and a boundary group and ran discover on my AD. I am trying to push the client to a couple of discovered PCs. I resolved an issue with a
permissions error accessing the \admin$ share, but now I'm getting "Failed to get DP locations as the expected version from MP servername..."
I'm seeing this in the client ccmsetup.log
I've tried everything I can think of and still can't fix it. I have checked my DP and it was set to HTTP. Can anyone help offer some suggestions?
Thanks

The error means the expected version of Client Package cannot be got from DP. Please update Client Package from Package Node in SCCM Console, then observe the distmgr.log to make sure the updated pkg has been distributed to DP, then try again.

Can't open my .psd file using CS4 windows XP & Mac OSX

I am using photoshop CS4 on windows XP I cannot open my file. the message reads: Could not complete your request because the version is not compatible with this version of photoshop.
I did open the file on my mac OSX CS4 as well to try to use some of the fonts installed there. Now the file will not open on either platform. Are there known issues with crossing platforms? I believe the files were always universal before?

There is normally no problem.
You failed to mention what format the file had.
If fonts are missing, it should still open with an error message about the font.

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why?

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why? The printer is an Epson 4900.

I contacted Epson and the following steps resolved the problem.
Please close all of your programs to Repair Permissions:
1. Go to your Mac Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
2. Click on and highlight your main Mac Hard Drive in the list on the left.
3. Select Repair Disk Permissions and once this is finished, restart your computer.
Once restarted, please do the following:
1. Open your System Preferences
2. Open Print & Fax (10.7/10.8/10.9 is Print & Scan)
3. Highlight your Epson printer in the Printer List on the left hand side of the window if it is showing in the list. If it is not showing up, continue to step 5
4. Click on the MINUS sign below the Printer List and confirm deletion of the printer
5. Click on the PLUS below the Printer List to re-add the printer
6. Click on and Highlight the Epson Printer in the window and confirm that in the USE field it reads for "EPSON XXXXXX"
7. If it does, click ADD and the printer should show up again in the Printer List and you can try to print again
If you are still having issue, try printing from Apples Preview and see if it print fine. If so, the issue would be PS and/or LR and you would need to troubleshoot the program installation.
