HP p1006 will not install on Lion 10.7

I have an HP Laserjet P1006 printer.  I have updated my software with software update several times.  I have also downloaded the updated drivers for HP from Apple dated April 2013, which I noticed in another posting. 
When I attempt to add a new printer the OS recognizes a P1006 is connected to the USB port and indicates that the drivers are available from Apple.  But, any attempt to install the driver causes an internet search that ends with a failure message indicating that the driver software is not currently available from Apple. There appears to be no manual solution.  Every attempt to install the printer leads to the same combination of messages indicating the software is available from Apple but then a failure to retrieve it.
Thanks!

  • My airport express seems to no longer be supported by Apple. Was working fine, just blinking amber. So tried to update and reset, but update will not install with Lion? Im disgusted.

    Airport express was blinking yellow. Tried to update, but my computer said update is not supported (yellow exclamation points). I have a mac pro with Lion and latest updates. So I reset express, yes that was a mistake because it was at least functioning on my stereo, now it does not function at all and shows on my wifi as "airport express", used to be labled "stereo". So it asks for an update, I download the update, but computer will not allow update to be installed. I will buy a newer one if I have to because I enjoy it's function, but I will be extremely disgusted with Apple to have to do so.

    If you are using Lion...as you indicate...is it possible that you mistakenly downloaded the incorrect version of AirPort Utility?
    Try the following version for Lion:
    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • HT5022 AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Lion

    I have an older airport express and I'd like to be able to manage it the new Aiprot utulity is not compatible and the older version of Airport Utility 5.6 is not able to be installed on Lion.

    Be sure that you are attempting to install the correct version (5.6) that is designed to work on OS X Lion. You can download it directly from Apple Support here.

  • HT1338 Mac App Store will not install Mountain Lion update

    I am having an issue where I try to install the 10.8.4 update from the Mac App Store.  I click on the button and it says it needs to restart to install.  I tell it to restart and install but it does nothing.  I get the Mac App store back with it asking me to install the update again.  Looking at the infobox I see that I am still on 10.8.3.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

  • White iMac (6.1) 24inch will not install mountain lion

    I have a white 24 inch iMac (6.1) 2.33 Ghz intel core 2 duo, I purchased it just before the silver ones came out, don't remember when exactly  but its not compatible with Mountain Lion.
    I find it very hard to believe that its obsolete so quick, I have the floating lamp iMac (best design) , G5 20 inch iMac and looks like this one is now joining them in the basement.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Laserjet P1006 will not install

    I have used a scrubber utility in the past for problems with Officejets.  Is there a similar utility for Laserjets?
    Problem is on an old Pentium II desktop with 256Mb of RAM running Win XP with SP1.  The printer used to work fine and now does not.  Uninstalled the printer and tried to reinstall, but I keep getting an I/O error after plugging in the USB cable.  Other USB printers work fine on the same desktop, and the Laserjet installs and works fine on another PC.  Any other ideas?

  • Itunes 10.4.1 does not install on Lion

    Hi
    Has anyone figued out why the itunes 10.4.1 update will not install on Lion?
    thanks
    Mike

    I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
    I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
    You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
    Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
    Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

  • Safari 6.01 on Lion 10.7.5 will not install extensions.

    I have Lion 10.7.5 with all updates, Safar 6.01 as well.  It will NOT install any extensions. I get the message "An error occured while installing this extension." I have repaired permissions, rebuilt launch services. It does not matter what extension, same result.  I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail.  Any suggestions from the wonderful minds out there?  Thank you in advance.

    I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail.
    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion is to reinstall OS X using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    You mentioned that you have v10.7.5 installed but I see v10.8.1 in your profile ??
    Exactly which OS X is installed ???
    Troubleshooting suggestions may be based on that information.

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 will not install under Mountain Lion

    I have older Base Station Extreme and Airport Express models that need to be looked after; however, the fix to install Airport Utility 5.6 under Lion will not work under Mountain Lion. The installer complains that "the version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported". So...suggestions?

    That is correct. AirPort Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion will NOT install under OS X Mountain Lion. If you had it already installed, and then upgraded, it would have worked just fine.
    One option, is to use Pacifist to extract the utility directly from the .dmg file.

  • HT5022 What works with Mountain Lion?  AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion.

    What gives?  The AirPort Utility 5.6 wil not load on a computer running Mountain Lion.  Attempted both on an iMac and Macbook.

    That is correct, the 5.6 version of the AirPort Utility will not install under Mountain Lion ... but it will run on it once installed. One option is to use a utility, like Pacifist, to extract and "install" the utility into the Utilities folder.

    Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!

    Purchased 2010

    Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
    Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

  • OS X Lion will not install

    I have purchased OS X Lion, and, the program will not install on my 2007 IMAC currently running Snow Leopard. I get a message stating a recovery system cannot be created. I am also running bootcamp on my Mac.

    I had the same problem.  10.6.8, Bootcamp with XP and Parallels and 400GB free space.  "recovery system cannot be created" I tried all the Apple help topics and forums with no success. The only way to get it to install was to delete the bootcamp partition.  Unfortunately this also meant that I couldn't reinstall XP as it can't be installed under Lion.  I still think it was due to Parallels but I can't prove it.
    I wish I didn't keep trying to install it, though.  Lion is the worst OS ever created by Apple.  I've been with OS X since Cheetah (10.0), and Lion was the only version that made me go back out of necessity. I could live with Rosetta and peripherals that are no longer supported.  What I can't live with is bugs like no search in mail, display issues, mouse issues, programs opening old documents at launch even though its been turned off, apps changing file extensions, incomplete results in Spotlight, etc..  It wasn't stable enough to even bother to try any of my third party apps.  I didn't even get far enough to find out if I had the wifi or samba bugs that most have.
    Lion turned my iMac into a buggy, unstable, 27" iPad. Everything has been oversimplified and hidden. iCal and Address Book have been crippled.  Even simple things like Spotlight showing the path to a file (that is if it can find anything) have been removed. Everything Lion "replaced" has been made less functional, like iCal, Address Book, Spotlight, Spaces and Expose.  Everything Lion "added" is nothing but gimmicks, like Launchpad.  Then there's the removing things for no reason, like Frontrow. To top it off, 10.7.1 fixed absolutely nothing.
    The best advise is to keep the Lion installer tucked away until the 10.7.5 update comes out. Maybe by then it will be stable enough to be used for anything other than a toy and maybe you'll be able to install it without trashing your bootcamp partition. Till then, enjoy the superior functionality of Snow Leopard.
