Fax is only option--Can't get my HP2840 to show up as a printer

Hello, I'm sorry if this issue's already been addressed; I couldn't find it here in the forum. If it has, please direct me to that thread. I'd appreciate any help on this.
I've moved from and iBook to a MacBook Pro with Leopard and now can't print on my HP2840. When I try to print, the only option that shows up for me in what looks like a print dialog box is "fax" (also has print to pdf).
When I try to add the printer in System Preferences, it only recognizes the machine as a fax.
I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the drivers, but no change. Any ideas?

If not, try deleting the printer/fax from system preferences, reset the printer by holding the c key while pressing +(add), delete all files in the printer folder, reload printer drivers from the Leopard disk. Their located in the folder under "install OSx." Un-click all drivers you are not using. Re-install printer by plugging it in and turning it on. Press add, this should display another menu with your printer on it. Go to your Utilities folder>Disk Utilities, run disk permissions, restart. Turn printer off and than on. Try to print. If the issue persists, please post back and we'll figure it out.

I have a photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!

I have the same photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!

The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it

Can't get the picture to show up on Apple TV using both of my iPads. Only sound. Everything is updated and rebooted. What's the deal ?

there is no mirror button, nor is one hidden underneath anywhere.

Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do. If you want to mirror, it cannot be turned on within an app. You need to bring up control centre, select airplay and toggle ON mirroring.

How can I get my POP account showing in the inbox it's supposed to show in?

Hi-Until a couple of weeks ago all mail received from my IMAP and POP accounts would show up in the correct mailboxes in my Mail inbox list. (Only problem then was that sent mail would never show up in the sent mail folder--always stayed in the inbox.)
Now a new problem has happened----unless I go directly to my charter cable account (P0P account) to retrieve any mail sent to that particular address, the mail goes unnoticed by Mail on my MAC and nothing shows up in the inbox. But--- If I do a test to myself , sending an email to the POP address from my IMAP account from my MAcMAil, my IMAP account will show the email in the inbox of the IMAP account I sent it from as if I'd mailed it to that account. How can I get my POP account showing in the Inbox? And, any suggestions for a fix to getting the "sent" mail to show in the "sent" folder would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Control click in the tool bar area and customize.

How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3? The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

What specific information would you need? The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore. It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel.

Can't get a hole to show up in this shape! Advice?

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Vista 64.
I've been using Illustrator for years, but this one thing always stumps me. I have a shape (the letter R) that I need to put a hole in. It is made of a photo trimmed into a compound shape. In the Pathfinder tool I can't get the Expand option to activate.
Here is a screenshot:

I have tried everything I can think of and can't get the hole to show up! I'm sure it must be obvious, but what am I missing?? I've been trying to use the Pathfinder tool; I need to learn to retain this trick. *sheesh*
Thank you all for reading this - any help you could give would be most awesome!

Hi Sue...not Steve here...
You don't need to lock the image first, but it can aid in not selecting it for a bit.
Lock the image.
Create a rectangle covering the whole image.
Place the shape, or text, for the hole you want onto the image.
If text, make it an outline.
Select both shapes or the rectangle that is over the entire image and the object you want to produce the "hole" in the image with and make a Compound Path (Object > Compound Path > Make or Cmd+8 or Ctrl+8).
Unlock the image and select both the image and the compound path, then make a mask (Object > Clipping Mask > Make or Cmd+7 or Ctrl+7).
Take care, Mike

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

How can i get tool tips to show on slideshow thumbnails?

How can i get tool tips to show on slideshow thumbnails? I used the widget "blank" composition for a slideshow then i placed the tooltips widget composition over them and made them transparent, but that prevents a user from clicking on the thumbnails... Any ideas?

I also want to note, i tried putting in tool tips as well as alt. text but only the first thumbnail is included in the HTML...I went through the code and it all my text is missing. I have to manually edit the html in edge reflow or dreamweaver. Muse should fix this - and i know "this is in the wrong section" and not in bugs and new ideas but it relates to my first post...

When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.

The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app. Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app. From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

How can I get my library to show on a different computer?

My own laptop is broken. I can use another laptop to access my iTunes account. That laptop already has its own iTunes account, but that doesn't have all my songs on, so I'd like to access my own iTunes library. I can sign in to iTunes on this laptop, I have authorised this laptop for my account, but i still can't get my library to show up on here. I can get my library to show up on my iPad mini, but i can't sync to my daughter's iPod nano as there are enough songs in my library to fill an iPod Classic. I don't think i can sync from an iPad mini anyway? Is there any way that I can either check certain songs on my iPad mini, but not all of them, so that i can sync my daughter's iPod nano on my iPad mini, or that I can get my own library to show up on this laptop rather than the other, pre-existing library?

Is the Laptop Mac or PC?
What version of OS X(if Mac)/Windows(if PC) and iTunes do you have on your laptop?
Do you have a iCloud acount?
Have you enabled "Home Sharing" on iTunes?
Do you use a USB cable to sync music on iPad?
