HP Laserjet CP1515n and OSX Lion

I'm trying to connect my networked Laserjet to my MacBook. It's identified in the 'add printer' window, and tries to install software for the printer, but the process fails with the message:
The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software.
Does anyone know what that's about?
This question was solved.

Hi,
By testing the exact same model I were able to configure the product and could not replicate any similar behaviour.
Please try updating the firmware of your printer, that is one major difference I could notice as your printer have a very outdated firmware version:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-68735-6&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
After updating the firmware, try adding the pritner and check foir any difference.
If the same issue persists, please try the following steps:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Click the Plus button and select the pritner.
Click the Print Using drop down menu and then click Select Printer Software.
Type CP1510 into the Filter search box - Can you see the HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series listed?
If so select it, click OK, Then click Add.
If you cannot see the specific model listed, type PCL into the Filter search box - Can you see the HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5?
If so select it, click OK, Then click Add.
Please let me know of any change, and if the same persists clarify the answers for steps 4 and 5.

Shlomi

Could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

I think MBPs stopped coming with Snow Leopard installed as of the late-2011 models. That's when OS X Lion started being pre-installed on MBPs. Some earlier MBP models (2010, early-2011) had a firmware update to allow Internet Recovery (command+option+r) which would allow a reinstall of OS X Lion (purchased from the App Store) with the purchaser's AppleID/password.
I don't believe SL would even install on a 2012 MBP.

Pros and cons of having OSX Snow leopard and OSX Lion on the same Computer

Disclaimer : I am not an expert,my experience with Computers is trial and catastrophic errors.
If one owns an early Intel Mac say 2009 and want to have OSX Lion and or Snow Leopard on a partitioned HD.My setup is typical I use my Bundled DVD and clean format HD ,intall Snow Leopard ,update all and then go to App store download Lion and then you chose your set up .
Most would upgrade to lion by installing on top of snow leapard.
I chose to install lion alone on a partition.
Today I was talking to Apple about an issue with accessing repair and disk permissions on an encrypted volume in Lion recovery Disk Utilities usually greyed out because one must turn off File Vault then go to Lion Recovery Disk Utilities by Start up ,press options the 2 partitioned volumes 1 Lion 2 Snow Leopard 3rd volume Lion recovery Disk Utilities.
,If File Vault is on it will not be there but when one selects volume 1 Lion and Command and R Lion recovery Disk Utilities appears but Lion Volumeo Recovery Disk Utilities will be greyed out you go tho unmount and it will prompt you for a Lion Password.
While doing this and repairing I encounted a Storage can not be repaired Error in red, Apple told me that Lion Recovery Disk Utilities related issues are not supported if one has Snow Leoopard and Lion on a partitoned HD.
So one must upgrade on top of SnowLeaopard or use the Snow Leopard Bundled DVD to erase the volume 2 SnowLeopard ,then all will be well !
So what happens with Mountain Lion when using Snow Leopard Macs ?
Again Disclaimer : I am not an expert and my experience with Computers is trial and catastrophic errors.

2010 Mac Mini and OSX Lion

Hi Everyone,
Hoping I can get some advice.
I have a 2010 Mac Mini and am thinking about upgrading to OSX Lion.
Although I know my Mac meets the system requirments (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2Gb RAM), I was wondering what the performace is like on with these specs.
I mainly use my Mac for iTunes, Safari, Twitter and iPhoto if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

It works ok for me, I've got a 2010 mini (base model) and am using it as a server for web, iTunes and VPN. It handles lion fine, the only quibble is that being always on it heats up during the day a lot, more so than when I had Snow leopard installed. It's not to unacceptable levels though. But as dingy and beezelbubba say, Ram is cheap nowadays and if you've got the spare cash it's always worth it.

Desktop Software Mac and OSX Lion

Does anyone have experience with DTS Mac after upgrading to OSX Lion? It took me ages and a complete reinstall to get it working under Snow Leopard, and I am a 'little' reluctant to have to go through that again.
Does upgrading affect the functionality of DTS mac?

Just download latest version from here

Laserjet 3052 and OSX Mavericks. Scanning with HP Director does not work. Any driver download.

My iMac will not scan using OSX 10.9 Mavericks and HP Director. Prints ok. Are there any new drivers available.

Read this thread:

My LaserJet 3052 works with Mavericks after I followed these instructions. It's not 100% stable, but it sure beats buying a new scanner/printer combo. Mine still rocks after 7 years of use!
Good luck!

HP LaserJet 4 and OSX 10.4

I have searched for a solution to my problem on this forum, but can't find a nice easy walk through that is appropriate for my setup.
My father has a LaserJet 4 that he has been using for decades with a PC. I have convinced him that Macs are better,and he has bought an old imac G4 with OSX 10.4. I want to hook the printer up to the mac, and have bought a JetDirect card off ebay so that I can attach it to the house router. Firstly, can anyone provide me with the drivers for the JetDirect card (can't find them on the HP website), if these are even necessary? Secondly, I could also use some advice as to where to go from here. I have read reports that I might need to get a SODIMM for the printer +/- more memory. Any previous encounters with this kind of setup and pointers would be most welcome
iMac G5 20 AE; iBook G4 12 800MHz; iPod 4G Mac OS X (10.3.7)
iMac G5 20 AE; iBook G4 12 800MHz; iPod 4G Mac OS X (10.3.7)
iMac G5 20 AE; iBook G4 12 800MHz; iPod 4G Mac OS X (10.3.7)

There isn't any driver software for the jetdirect card. After taking care of the JetDirect getting an IP address, you just print to it usung standard protocols (IP printer > HP Jetdirect is preferred).
Press the test button on the jetdirect to get a printout with its current IP address. One way to set up a Jetdirect is by using the free WebJetAdmin software for a PC. Another way is to use the Mac Terminal and telnet to the IP address like this:
telnet 192.168.2.3 (example IP address)

Parallels Desktop and OSX Lion?

I have os Snow Leopard and would like to upgrade to Lion. I heard that Parallels Desktop 5 doesn't work on Lion. What do I need to do to install Lion and upgrade to Parallels 7 without reinstalling all the Windows programs that I am already using?

Parallels 7 full supports Lion OSX. I wouldn't use 5 because it is not supported, version 6 should also work .
Try ebay , I got my Parallels 7 for $49

Is anybody using an HP LaserJet 2550 with OSX Lion 10.7?

I am using OS X Lion 10.7 on my MacBook Pro. I installed my HP LaserJet 2550L color printer but the color isn't right. Any suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time... but didn´t resolved the problem. I downloaded both installers (drivers and SMU), check in software update and download the update for the HP drivers.... all of that with the plotter connected via USB...

Final Cut Studio 2 and OSX Lion issues

I tried to upgrade to Lion on my Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, but afterward I tried to startup Final Cut Pro 6 (which is part of FCS 2), only to be told that FCP6 is a PowerPC application and it wouldn't run. I don't understand this, since I have Shake 4.1 installed on the same computer, and both applications are Universal Binary; after the lion install Shake still continued to work (Shake is older than FCS2, and Motion replaced Shake) while FCP didn't! I had to wipe my haddrive and downgrade back to Snow Leopard, just to use FCP6! What gives?

Pardon the snarky reply, but from a professional editing point of view, one NEVER updates a working machine, unless something is offered in the new OS that one needs right then and there. And when one does update, one needs to do a boatload of research first, to make sure that every application they rely on is compatible with the new OS. Because if it isn't, it means the edit station cannot function properly, and that means that one cannot work and make money with that station. So ALWAYS look, and look well, before you leap.
You want to make use of iCloud, when it is "finally rolled out." OK, why not wait to update the OS until it is rolled out? You don't need it now, you need it when a feature comes available. SO use what you have until it comes, and then research to make sure things work. And if you really need iCloud, can you not just get another computer with Lion to access all of that? So that your current system can run under the OS that it works well? And yes, Studio 2 might have worked under all those previous OSes, but support for the old software will stop at some point, because Apple looks back only so far. So this might be the point where it doesn't work.
But really, FCP 6 and LION might be an issue. I do know that the INSTALLER for FCS2 is PowerPC based, and requires Rosetta, and Rosetta isn't included in Lion. Lion not working with Apple's own software? Well, yes, it does, the NEWER ones. The older software? As I said, they extend support only so far...they can't keep looking back if they want to look forward. If you want things to always work with the latest OS, then you need newer software. You cannot expect the older software do always just work...it won't.
Especially since FCP X is out...Apple doesn't give a hoot about supporting the older versions.

IPhoto and OsX Lion

I recently was messing around with iPhoto on my Macbook Pro, which is running Lion, and I noticed while I was assigning names to faces on my pictures the main clipboard slightly flashed. The flash turned out to be my mouse scrolling over the clipboard and anything it scrolled over it flaced the "places" display. Almost as if the "faces" clipboard was becoming transparent and the "places" was shinning through. I don't know what kind of an issue this is. The only other issue I had was my airport assigned itself an IP. This caused me to reformat, simply because I didn't want to dick with it and I feared I might have had a trojan virus because of a previous warning. Please somebody shed some light on this topic, everything I have is up to date and the MacBook is a early 11 release, the new model that came out. Thank you, I am still learning the ways of the Mac

The latest version of iMovie, Garageband and I think also iPhoto require Mavericks. You can instal the ilife '11 applications - if you buy a copy on DVD from for example Amazon. You will also be able to update them from the App store to the last version compatible with the operating system you are using.
If you purchased Mountain Lion then it should be possible to re-download it from the App Store. It won't be listed on the mac running Mavericks but I would expect it to be available on the macs running Lion, especially if the harware doesn't support Mavericks.

BLACKBERRY DESKTOP SOFTWARE and OSX Lion

Dear all
I have a new MacPro with latest OS XLion and after installed blackberry desktop software all system started go very slowly.
I called Apple support and they told me that BB has not any update that works with new OS X Lion system and installing and sync with BB software is not suggested
Since this is an important issues as I'm using BB for professional work I'll need to have such synchronization possible. How can I?
Thank you for your prompt help
Regards

I am using at the moment of writing this message the latest BB desktop software on my MB Pro 15 "mid-2010" and os X Lion without ANY problem of speed.
Just had an issue with the transition to iCloud (as many other people) obliging me to "repatriate" manually all my calendar and contact files!
For the rest, everything runs smoothly on my MAC
Just check that you really have the latest version of the software through the update menu command.
Really? Here is the article from Blackberry: - Just talked to them AGAIN and the answer is that yes I will be in a continuos loop with over 25% of my entries changing every other time I synch. Stupid
Syncing calendar events from the BlackBerry smartphone using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac causes multiple modifications to existing events
Article ID: KB25147
Product(s) Affected:
BlackBerry® Desktop Software (Mac OS)
Overview
When a sync is carried out with BlackBerry® Desktop Software for Mac and both the BlackBerry® smartphone and the calendar program on the Mac contain the same appointments or a large number of the same appointments the Mac sync alert appears showing modifications to those appointments already in the calendar on the Mac.
BlackBerryDesktop Software (Mac OS)
Mac OS
The issue occurs because appointments on the BlackBerry smartphone are categorized as 'public' or 'private'. The appointments by default are 'public' and a checkbox within the appointment details allows a user to mark it as private.Cause
As an example, iCal appointments do not have this categorization so when the sync takes places the BlackBerry smartphone data has this extra field being pushed and whilst iCal cannot display this data, the truth database in the Mac itself can store that information. This means that the data stored in the Mac truth table has this field added to its stored data.
The software is working as designed. Those modifications should be accepted.Resolution------
SOOOOOO - you accept and then synch - no problem. Close computer - open again - try to synch and get exact same message. Iphone is the answer.

FTP 101: Filezilla etc and OSX Lion

Will someone clever please tell us newbies how to fix the problem:
I have been using Filezilla (before that, Cyberduck) to upload files to my older style HTML website. I just installed Lion and there is a big cross sign through the latest Filezilla icon saying "PowerPC programs don't work under Lion." I read posts from people saying it works, other posts talking about another kind of FTP on the Mac itself, and lots of talk of SFTP and command line stuff.
For we who just use these apps by pushing buttons and moving on when they work, can you list step by step what we need to do to get Filezilla working again, or point to a different program to download? It would be so, so appreciated. If I need to go back and reinstall my entire previous Snow Leopard machine from my bootable clone, tell me that and I'll do it. I have a long lost of to-do's and can't spend days experimenting with clean installs (however you do those).
Thanking you!

Guys, I'm completely embarrassed.
I knew about Power PC apps no longer being supported etc but thought I had to latest version of Filezilla.
It is because I was reading superceded posts even in this forum saying it can't be done. I think a fundamental problem with the internet is it needs to return the results in date order ... I'd like to delete this entire thread now, but maybe it will help others remember to check the dates of stuff they read. Thank you!
PS Interestingly, a software developer friend, a bit of a guru, told me tonight that I should remove Lion and go back immediately to Snow Leopard - that Apple is going the way of iPad etc - "focussing on the devices that make the most money". Well, after destroying a couple of original images in Preview today by trying to do "Save As" in the newfangled way, I'm not sure what to think!
Thanks again!

I can't find the site domain file in iWeb 3 and OSX Lion

I've got iWeb 3.0.4 and am using OS10.7.3
In previous versions of the OS and iWeb the actual file that iWeb creates is stored inside ~User>Library>Application Support>domain.site
I can't for the life of me find either the Application Support folder inside my user folder OR the actual domain file. Is it invisible or something???
Help - I need to transfer this document to another computer urgently ;-)
