HP Laserjet 6L not `seen'

H/W: Mini, HP Laserjet 6L, iogear serial/usb adapter.
S/W: iogear drivers, Apple HP drivers.
I plugged in the adapter, it's power light came on. loaded the adapter drivers.
Loaded the fresh from a Apple download HP drivers.
Made sure that the printer was on. To Add Printer, nothing.
I uninstalled the Apple drivers, reinstalled, same thing, nothing.
Called iogear, they haven't gotten back to me.
Called Applecare,
`go to the HP site and get drivers, No, well it must be your adapter or an HP issue, have a good day, click' . Even though Apple has the driver listed for my 6L.
Anybody been through this issue? I do not want to trash a $500 printer.

I think you will find it very hard to get good support from the vendors for this combination of HP/IoGear/Apple hardware and software - especially when the printer is so old.
While the printer may have cost $500 when it was new, I personally would just replace it with a new Brother laser printer with a usb and/or network interface, which often sells on special for $50 to $75. And Brother provides excellent driver support for Macs.
I use an old HP Laserjet 3200 Multifunction machine with my Mini, but it at least has a usb interface. There continue to be print drivers for it, though no scanner support. At some point, though, you have to start depreciating older hardware, even if it is not broken, because the support is just not going to be there.
If you are determined to get this combination work, you may have to explore the Gutenprint drivers -- if there are any -- for your HP.

  • Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section

    Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section
    I used Colormunkie Photo to create an .ICM file for printer calibration.   When that failed I tried changing the suffix to .ICC.  Under neither circumstance did LR4.2 display the file in the menu to select printer profile.  There were several display files with both suffixes but no printer files at all.  I tried three times with no success and cannot think of what else to try. The first two were the same.  I varied the file creation name suffix in the third.  Help will be appreciated. My OS is Win 7 ultimate SP1  Printer is HP 2550L laserjet.

    Glad you found your answer, Colormunki is smart enough to figure out the color space for the printer as I found out - But for quality work the latest generation of inkjet printers from Epson and Canon are hard to beat, and compared to a laserjet the quality is like night and day. The other benefit of changing up to an inkjet printer is the choice of papers available which you could not put through a laserjet.
    I had a colleague that tried printing on Photoglossy paper through his color laser and it fried the fuser, and HP, while they replaced the fuser unit under warranty, made it very clear that that was a daft thing to do.
    So if I were in your position I would go with an inkjet and you will then enjoy the benefits of better quality output, better paper choices and with your Colormunki be able to make custom profiles that will work in LR

  • Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

    Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
    - Nano 8 gb
    - Windows xp
    Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
    When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
    Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
    I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
    I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

    I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
    What I did was:
    1. Uninstall i tunes
    2. Restart my computer
    3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
    4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
    5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
    6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
    7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
    8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
    9. i tunes recognized it.
    10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
    11. The problem started happening again
    12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
    It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

  • 5th Gen IPOD - Won't Sync and Not Seen by Windows

    Help!!!
    Tried the 5 R's. I have the IPOD in Disk Mode but whilst it will happily charge, it still is not seen by ITunes or Windows Explorer (though is visible inDisk Defragmenter). I have already un-installed and re-installed ITunes etc.
    Prior to putting it into Disk Mode the IPOD still had my library on it and owuld happily work.

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • IPod touch: Seen by XP, not seen on OSX.

    Strange one.
    1st Gen ipod Touch with latest software(think its 3.3), latest version of itunes.
    Its seen and works perfect with Windows XP.
    I plug it into my Mac Book Pro, running Lion and its not seen. nothing happens wihen i plug it in.
    I have reset, restored and wiped the ipod from the device itself and its still not seen.
    I also tried it on a Win 7 machine and its NOT seen either.
    Is this something crazy to do with 32bit architecture. Its seen on Win XP which is 32 but not by  64bit Lion and Win 7.
    Any suggestions?

  • Data of measure is not seen in  webi report when drill is disabled

    Hi
    i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
    the problem is that  i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
    the object  on which im drilling  is set as a section in the report
    so i have added a measure in the table under that section
    now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
    i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different  measure
    for all other level of drilling
    every thing is working fine but the problem  is
    when i open report in view mode
    the measure data is not seen
    only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
    i have done something like thi
    i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

    Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
    why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

    There have been a few threads about this.  The feature seems to have gone missing in Mountain Lion even though the Help for Preview still mentions it.
    I've filed a bug report on it.

  • The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today. I have not seen any such steps. Help?

    The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today instead of my old phone (not an iphone). I have not seen any such steps. Help?

    I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.

  • I have migrated a user's mysite in sharepoint 2013 from one domain to another.The issue is that old activtiy data i.e newsfeed data is not seen

    For eg :
    I had a user called domain1\user1 whose mysite was created as http://my/personal/user1.
    Now this user moves to another domain say domain2\user1.Since mysite is already present no new mysite will be created.
    Move-SPUser –Identity "domain1\user1" –NewAlias "domain2\user1"After executing the above query,user is migrated and is able to login to the mysite.But the newsfeed data is not seen.I can see it in the microfeed list but not in the newsfeed page.All other data like documents ,tags,people etc is present

    it should move all the profile data alonwith, i would check the ULS logs for any clue.

    I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails.  My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
    I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy.  I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval.  Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
    Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

    From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software,  play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • My iphone4 is not seen on itunes. When I plug the iphone the device does not recognize it but the pc recognizes it as a camera or something. What can I do?

    My Iphone is not seen on itunes when I plug it. I've tried everything that I found on the internet. but it still doesn't work, so I can't sync my iphone. What can I do? I have checked all the USB ports, I have desinstalled and installed again itunes, and I have run out of ideas.

    When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
    Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer?
