HP C3180 power light won't stop blinking after wireless print (from PC)

I've raised this issue in an earlier post - but maybe with too much verbiage.
My PC prints wirelessly to a (raw Q on a) MAC which is USB-connected to an HP Photosmart C3180. When I use the driver for the 3180 on the PC (either with an LPR port or an internet port), the jobs are created with an "error" status, and never leave the PC.
I've found, however, that the HP 550C driver (and a generic HP Deskjet) will work fine on both the LPR port and the internet port. The printing is exceptionally fast - but the power light continues to blink after the job is finished. I have to press the "cancel" button on the printer console to stop the blinking. Some sort of "handshaking" between the printer and the driver software is not happening, apparently.
I also print from the Mac to the 3180 (foomatic/hpijs C3100 driver, usbtb backend) - and everything works fine.
Any advice/information will be welcome.

Sorry!! much ado about nothing. Since the HP Photosmart is not a PS printer, I have to use (for example) an Apple Color LW 12/660 PS as the driver on the PC (NOT a Windows driver) in order to print over the wireless network to the Mac.
Phew! Printer software makes networking look like a piece of cake!

E72 notifcation light does not stop blinking after...

After receiving an SMS my E72 sometimes keeps blinking the light even after reading it/deleting it. It's as if the notification gets "stuck". It also happens with calls but less often.
This only started happening with 052.005, with previous versions where were no problems.
Can anyone confirm this? Is it a problem in the current firmware or is just my unit needing a hard reset?

Hi
Do you have the light active for any other apps or service on the phone like e-mail, missed calls, IM, etc...
Only for missed calls or SMS/MMS. I don't have it on for email (as it would blink too often).
Normally it would stop blinking as soon as I see a missed call on the call log or open/delete an SMS.
But since firmware 052.005 now it sometimes does not blink right after the event is "cleared".
I suspect it is a but as this version had some changes to the breathing/notification light behaviour due to asian languages (even if mine is european PT)

Red LED won't stop blinking after the phone turns on. Pearl 8100.

Ok, I have searched and read all over the net to find out about this, but nothing seems to compare.
My browser suddenly stopped to respond, and the buttons on either side of the trackball stopped responding while in the browser. This happend every time I entered the browser so I did a hard reset. Now the browser wroks fine, but...every time I turn the phone on, as it starts searchig for the network it will start blinking the red LED continuously and it only stops when I receive a call or a msg.
This obviously can't be right, but I can't find anything that appears to be wrong besides this....any suggestions?

That is certainly backwards. It should START not stop when you receive message or phone call.
Do this for fun Options > Screen/Keyboard > LED Coverage Indicator. Turn that off for now and see what happens.

Why won't my officejet 4500 wireless print from microsoft word or excel?

My new officejet 4500 wireless printer will not print from microsoft word or excel. The paper goes through the printer but there is nothing printed on it.

Hello.
It seems like the black cartridge could be running out of ink. Since most of what is commonly printed from MS word and excel might be black text, this is the first reason I can figure out why your printer is not printing only from these applications.
Check this document to see if your printer is performing good and to check if ink is coming out from all of the cartridges.
Cheers.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

IMac G5 blinking power light / won't turn on

When my iMac G5 is hooked up to power, the power light (front bottom right panel) faintly blinks once every 2 seconds or so. The monitor is not on at all, and the computer does not appear to be running (no sounds).
All other devices hooked up to that particular power outlet are working fine, and pressing the power button does nothing. Holding the power button down halts the blinking, but when I let go the blinking resumes.
I have also tried removing all devices attached to the computer, including the keyboard and mouse.
This machine was working fine on friday, but when I came back into work today (monday) the machine was 'off' and nothing I do seems to cause any change.
Very confused, any help appreciated.

It may be that your Power Supply Unit is failing, look at the suggestions here, try them and if nothing works, call Apple. If you have a Rev A, you may qualify for the Repair Extension Program. (sorry to assume you didn't know about sleep, sometimes very basic things are not known to posters).
Please let me know how you make out,

I just got an apple tv and it dosen't work at all. I tried to use the home share feature with my iMac and both devices don't see each other, yet they are o the same network. I am not using a apple router. I tried updating the apple tv to see if that would resolve the issue but now the status light just blinks rapidly. I tried using itunes restore it but all i get is an unknown error. So with all of this said what is the fix apple?

The Light on the printer flashes for lots of different errors. It may not be the tomer that is the problem. I have attached the error light document that tells you what your specific light patern means.

BB 9300, indicator light will not stop blinking

Earlier today I received a call from a number that was supposed to be blocked in my Mr Number Callblock app, but came through anyways. Ever since, my light is blinking like there is something I need to check, but I have gone in and been through every app and even the hidden folders and can not find any notifications. I have done a hard reset. I am on 5.0 currently and there are no icons at the top of the screen or anything to show me what I need to check to turn the light off.
Any tips?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well good.
I love the unexplained resolutions.
Good luck!

Power button won't initiate shutdown after installing Mavericks

Since I installed Mavericks the other day, I can't shut my MacBook Pro down like I used to by pressing the power button and choosing "shut down" from the ensuing dialog. When I press the power button now, the screen goes black and appears to be in sleep mode, except the LED on the front just glows - it doesn't pulse. If I press it again, my display comes back. I am able to shutdown from the Apple Menu.

OK, as soon as I posted this, I found the answer - holding down the power button brings up the dialog. Couldn't find that discussion when I was searching.

IMac fan won't stop running after Mavericks install

My fan seems be running all the time, in sleep mode and shut down (when power cord is plugged in).
This started after installing Mavericks??????????????????????????????? HELP.

I have the same issue with my 2012 iMac 2.7 Intel Core i5 21.5"
The iMac fan runs constantly immediately when it is shut down and after a minute or so when it is put in standby.
This iMac just started doing this.
I have done the SMC reset numerous times and also the PRAM and DVRAM reset by hitting the Command, Option, P, and R after restarting.
This issue is beyond frustrating as the only way to shut off the fan ever is to pull the power cord.
Any additonal help would be appreciated.

Compressor/BatchMovnitor won't stop even after file has been removed?

I was trying to compress a 12 minute FCS file and it said it would take 1200 hrs. so I figured I'd better stop and try again. I hit Cancel in Batch Monitor but it kept going anyway, so I quit and re-started and the same file showed up again even though I didn't place it in a new batch or anything. I deleted the preferences for Compressor and BatchMonitor and re-started and it still shows up - says it's "canceling" but never cancels. How do I stop this from happening and get rid of it?

In classiclly typical fashion , immediately after posting (after searching compressor topics) I searched under Batch Monitor and found a bunch or similar problems. The answer came by deleting a file from the Qmaster folder. Now it appears to be working "normaly" again.
