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

  • I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

    I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

    iLife '09 is not available as a download - it is only available as a purchase
    iLife '11 is available as a DVD purchase and the compoments of it are available from the App Store (iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5), etc)
    Exactly what did you do? And exactly what does the error message say?
    On the surface it appears that you are attemptying to open a new library with an older version (iPhoto '09 can not open an iPhoto '11 library for example)

    Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
    You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files.

  • I am getting an error message that "no photos could be found on this device" when I plug in my ipad to my windows 8.  I open the dcim folder and it shows up empty, although I clearly have photos on my ipad.  I was able to do this just last week.  HELP!

    Help, I am trying to get my pictures from my ipad to my computer (windows 8) and I get the message that "no photos could be found on this device."  When I try to open the dcim folder, it shows up empty.  What can I do?  I have previously been able to import pictures easily.

  • How do I fix the error message that a USB is taking up too much energy on my Macbook Pro?

    Whenever I plug in my iPhone5 to my Macbook Pro, an error message comes up saying that "the USB is taking too much power and will be automatically disconnected". 

    Purchase a powered hub and plug into that and plug the powered hub into the Mac. Although an iPhone should not be causing those messages unless you have an older Macbook Pro.

  • PSE 8 - How do I fix the error message: An error has occurred reading files or writing to disk...?

    Hello
    I am using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I have all my photos stored on an external hard drive connected by usb. The photos were transferred onto the HDD from a Windows XP machine. I bought a new computer  so I installed Photoshop 8 and imported all my photos to the organiser from the HDD. I have also taken some photos yesterday which I have uploaded to the HDD.
    Now, when I want to delete a photo I check the box to say I want it to be deleted on the hard disk and I get the error message: 'An error has occured while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may bea problem with the source media.' This does not happen with the photos I uploaded yesterday, only the ones which were put onto the HDD from the XP machine.
    Please could someone help? I have tried the File>Catalog> repair and optimise functions. I have reinstalled the software. It still does the same.
    Thank you in advance

    Sorry, but I would have thought that this was rather obvious! The only device capable of being written to under these circumstances is your CD drive; after all, it's a CD you are trying to create...
    You have two potential major causes of problems here. The most common cause of these difficulties is the disks themselves - you only need a batch with poor reflectivity to cause all sorts of read errors, so that's the first thing to try - using a different brand of disk to write to. The second thing you have to realise is that CD writers have a finite life - the lasers in them simply don't last for ever, and towards the end of their lives the power behaviour tends to be a bit erratic, and it tends to fall off somewhat - which causes the same sorts of errors, simply because the dye doesn't get evaporated efficiently. This causes mis-formed pits, hence the read errors. The only solution here is to install a new drive.
    When it comes to reading, commercial CDs have a much higher reflectivity than ones you write yourself, so often these will play whilst your own will fail - a common cause of confusion, this. But it's worth checking; if you get failures to reproduce all of the tracks from a commercial pressed CD, then almost certainly your drive is failing.

  • How do you fix the error message, An error has been encountered while writing the current CD list.

    The error message goes on to say, Please check your device settings or consult your device documentation regarding resolving writing errors. Which device do you think they are referring to? The message came up half way through writing Track 5. So I selected a second set of tracks and got the same error message, this time at Track 3. I tried to play written CD (imation CD-R 1x 52x 700 mb). Opened the tracks using Windows Media Player. First time I was able to play one or two tracks, next time Window Media Player gave me the error message error message C00D0FAB. I have twice before successfully recorded the tracks using a Rode Podcaster, mixed them down and successfully wrote two version of my audio book. Now its not working. Any solutions?
