How to Resolve Printing Problems?

Mac OS X 5.6
HP LaserJet 2300L
1. Printing takes several minutes to find printer.
2. A large X appears over printer icon.
3. What does that mean?
HP website says printer not supported.
4. Is there an updated driver for this printer?
Printer prints ok, but above issues are problem.
Thanks!
GeorgeBetty

The printer is listed among those with driver support in this Support
document as found in Apple Support:
Mac OS X 10.5.3: Printer driver included in HP Printer Driver Update v 1.1.1:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1893
{The drivers listed for Tiger 10.4.x appear to include ones for this series of
HP Printer; though I don't know of they are compatible with Leopard. Did
you see if those noted in the HP's Printer drivers pages online show one
for your model, and have you tried one from its class, as a test?}
There may be third party drivers available for certain classes of HP printers
and these could work for several models, even if the specific one you have
is not necessarily listed by itself. Try Gimp Print open source drivers; they
likely are also be found under Gutenprint in a search; they should be free.
' HP LaserJet 2300L gimp print Mac OS X driver ' - google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=HPLaserJet+2300L+gimp+print+Mac+OS+Xdriver&btnG=Search
Other online topic search by similar (not gimp) methods show forums, etc:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=HPLaserJet+2300L+Mac+10.5+Driver&btnG=GoogleSearch&aq=f&oq=
The gutenprint or gimp print drivers for Mac OS X may work even if
the model shown is not exactly your model of printer. Or, there may
be other printer drivers available. In some OS X versions, the drivers
were on an optional installation, when available. Perhaps not in 10.5.
My printers worked OK, but I had to get a huge download from HP
for an all-in-one fax, printer, copier, scanner unit since the CD it had
was obsolete when shipped for 10.4 & Later OS X. The Epson is
better, since it can be seen as a wireless printer via USB AirPort
as a bonjure printer; so all wireless Macs here can use it.
Good luck & happy computing, in any event!

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS3899 My ipood touch works fine when at home and on my own wi-fi network but when abroad and using wi-fi I can only receive emails but my ipod touch won't send my messages. I am not very techy but don't know how to resolve this problem. Any advice?

Hi
I am having problems sending emails when using my ipod touch with wi-fi abroad. When at home my ipod touch receives and I can send emails through my home wi-fi system but when away and logged into other wi-fi networkcan only receive emails and not send them. Internet access is fine when abroad.
I am assuming that this is to do with the outgoing server but this is only a guess!
I am not very techy so any ideas how to resolve this problem would be gratefully received.
Thanks
KeithGH

Seems like the other networks are blocking you from sending emails.
Do yo have more that one email account on the iPod?
Have you tried sending from another account?

Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Hi
Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

Hi. I was having this problem too but the sound works for me when I plug in the headphones. I guess it's more of a workaround but I'm happy with it. Hope this helps.

I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem? What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
