    I have 1 HP Officejet J6480 All-in-one printer, when I print a page off of the net, it only prints one top line (ex: Page 1 of 1) and it only prints the footer. It does the same with my HP Deskjet F4100 series printer.

  • HP Office Jet J6480 All In One - will not scan with Mac OS 10.8 .3

    I have been unable to get my HP Office Jet J6480 All In One to scan after upgrading to 10.8.3.I have followed other posts and have installed the most up to date driver (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) but each time i try to scan from the HP device manager or the photosmart studio, it says "Sorry, scanner could not be intialized. (scanner not found)"  I have tried making sure there are no other updates by clicking on settings in the device manager and clicking check for updates but it tells me "server not availalbe - the software service is currently not available. please try again later" and i have gotten this error for the last week.
    I followed the second set of instructions found here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Software-Update-Server-Unavailable/td-p/18... to try to resolve that issue and have installed the software found at the link. I rebooted my computer and am still having the same problem.
    Note: My printer is wireless and i have not hooked it up via a cord. Will that make a difference?
    My printer seems to be printing fine.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Try scanning from your Mac.  Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom.  Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

    Hi - Does it print slowly from all applications or just certain ones?  In either case, you can try following the steps in this document.
    In addition, try going into Control Panel, Printer, right click on the printer and choose Printer Properties.  Click on the Advanced Tab and select Print Direcly to the Printer.
    Hope that helps.

  • J6480 All-in-One doesn't print whole page

    I have a J6480 All-in-One and when I print envelopes it sometimes does not print the last part of the address.  For example
    Return Address
    Prints Fine
    City, State  ZIP    
                                                                            Jonathan A. Smi
                                                                            123 Broadway S
                                                                             Anywhere, IL  61
    It might do this once or twice and then finally print correctly.  Very frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, what I found was that if I create and save a envelope file in Word 2007 then the printing works correctly every time.

  • Communication Failure With HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One

    I bought a new printer, an HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One, and set it up with my PC.
    Then, I set it up with my mac. I get this error: "Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
    I recently bought an Epson printer but returned it cause it was too slow. That printer gave me a similar (maybe the same, I don't remember) error. I can scan and check ink levels but I can't print. I'm connected by USB by the way.
    What's wrong? I downloaded the latest drivers and software yesterday. Why can't I print?

    And on HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One.
    I've got mine connected to the network on Ethernet - figured that would be less problematic than wifi - and my MacPro can see everything about the printer, just not print to it. This includes the C7280's built-in webserver which - like alot of SOHO routers - gives you a web-based interface to the printer's configuration and status. Everything on that page looks right-on, but no printing.
    The printer's copy and fax functions work, and I can even scan images and save them across the network onto my machine, so the printer is already interoperating with the network to a high degree, just not printing.
    Like alot of people, I bypassed the HP driver CD and downloaded a fresh software package yesterday from HP's site (200MB+, ***?), which is what I used to configure my system. As far as I could tell, there appear to be no firmware updates available for this printer. MacOS "Software Update" doesn't offer any printer driver updates - I'll try the posted link to Apple's site next.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper.  I would like to have a custom size to work with a card making program.

    Can you help me out?
    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
    When I try to print to a custom print size (2.75" x 6" in my case), I get the same error everyone else is reporting: "Paper detected does not match paper size or type selected. Make sure the paper size or type is correct to continue the job."
    I am currently trying to print using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5, but I have the same problem with printing from Adobe Reader 9.8.5 or Preview 8.0.
    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.
    My printer's firmware is "up to date" as of 28-Aug-2014.
    This is what I did:
    1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Click on the Printers & Scanners icon.
    3. Click on the + sign under the list of printers to add a printer
    4. Click on IP
    5. Enter my IP address in the Address field (verified as "valid and complete host name or address")
    6. Ignore Protocol field (default is Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
    7. Ignore Queue field (default is blank for default queue)
    8. Ignore Name field (default is IP address)
    9. Ignore Location field (default is blank)
    10. Under the Use dropdown menu, I select "Select Software"
    11. HP Deskjet 9800 is not an option.
    I searched for 9800, but there is no HP printer with that number in the options.
    I tried selecting "HP DeskJet 980C - Gutenprint v5.2.3" to see if that would work, but I received the same error message as above. I tried selecting other random HP printers, but so far I've had no luck.
    I've been googling about for a way to manually add a printer driver to this "Select Software" list, but I've found nothing (apparently, no one else wants to do this). I did not find a driver download for the HP DeskJet 9800 for OS X Yosemite 10.10 on the Drivers & Software section of the hp.com website.
    Additional details on settings for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5:
    Selected File > Page Setup from menu
    Under the Paper Size drop down menu, I selected manage custom size.
    - Click + to add a paper size
    - Enter "2.75" in width and "6 in" height in the paper size fields.
    - Enter "0 in" as the User Defined Non-Printable Area for top, left, right and bottom.
    - Double-clicked Untiled in the custom size list and rename the size as Receipt
    - Click OK to return to the Page Setup dialog box
    Under Settings: Page Attributes:
    - Format for "HP Officejet Pro 8600"
    - Paper size: Receipt
    - Orientation: "tall/portrait"
    - Scale: 100%
    - Click OK
    Select Format > Document and set all page margins to 0.25"
    Thank you.

    Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

    What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

    My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • HP LaserJet 2820 All-in-One fails to print on right side of the page

    I have HP LaserJet 2820 All-in-One for 1.5 years now and before the first set of cartridges run out of ink, the printed page comes out blur or no printing on the right side of the page. No smear on the right page.  It doesn't matter if I used color or black printout, the right page still come out blur or prints.
    I replaced all new HP OEM cartridges, I then replaced HP OEM fuser RG5-7602 located on the bottom back of the printer, reset the page setting menu and as a result the problem still exists.  In one year and half, the total cost for the printer and replacement of cartridges and fuser came out to be almost $1407 and now I can't use the printer.  I don't want to junk the printer or spent hundred of dollars more to resolve this problem.  If any one encountered this issue before, I appreciate if you can guide me to resolve this problem.   Thank you so much

  • Leaving Action executed in the Middle Of the Payroll Period

    Dear All,
    I am Trying to execute Leaving action For the Employee in the middle of the Payroll period thereby changing his Employee Group to Pensioner and also his payroll area to that of Pensioner.However the System is not allowing me to do so and is saying that Payroll area cannot be changed in the middle Of the Payroll Period.Plz Suggest what can be done so that the Leaving action Of the Employee can be executed in the Middle of the Payroll Period.
    Thanks
    Punam Jha

    Hi,
    In a payroll period, you can not include the same employee in two different payroll processing.  Hence, you can assign the new payroll area at the beginning of the next payroll period. Alternatively, execute the separation action with the last date of the pay period.
    regards
