HP Photosmart C4480 - can't get the scanner to work on 10.6

Hi
I've seen other forum topics on this from a while back, and I'm following those directions, but still get errors. So, I've uninstalled any HP software with this printer/scanner, installed the HP drivers from Apple, yet still can't scan. I keep getting error messages when I use the scanner function from both the printer menu on preference settings and image capture. Any help would be appreciated.

I think everyone with an HP Scanner or All-in-One should visit this HP Support Forum page and read a few of the posts. <http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/Drivers-for-Mac-OS-10-6 /td-p/111357>.
Clearly HP (and Epson - I have Epson equipment too) have decided to abandon their customers as they see that Apple has supplied basic Print and Scan support in Snow Leopard that goes further than ever before.
What is particularly awful is that we all will have purchased, at some time, a Scanner or Printer from these people that came with bundled software - some of which, like Read Iris OCR was the reason for the purchase and none of that is supported any longer.
What about the CD printing software for Epson's printers? We have just purchased a Photo R800, not a cheap printer and it came with Tiger drivers. There are no updates for SL.

I'm using a Brother MFC 420CN (printer, fax, scanner) and can't get the scanner to work

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and downloaded the latest twain plug-in for lion from Brother. I don't know where the twain driver went after I downloaded it. I searched the computer for it and it doesn't show up. I wanted to drag it into the import folder photoshop plug-ins folder in Photoshop CS5. There is no Twain plug-in the folder now. when I try to scan from the Brother Control Center I get error messages and do what the messages suggest but nothing works.I don't use the fax, I occasionally use the printer and the printer still works. There is only 1 USB cable that drives the Brother machine.

Plug in the usb lead.

Can't get the software to work with Audigy 2

Hi, I have had my Audigy 2 ZS going on a year now and haven't had any problems. I recently made a clean install of Windows XP and upgraded to SP2 and all that. Now, I can get sound out of the card but can't get the software to work at all; cannot get the volume slider bar to appear when I click the icon (it appears in the task bar though and I get a small gray square where the slider should appear), the surround mixer does not show when I double click the volume icon, EAX conxole is a no go, get an empty error box when I try to start the Equaliser.
I have tried everything from simple re-install to clean sweep to praying to the pagan gods. I have alsoo tried updating the drivers of course.
I run XP on an Intel MoBo (on-boeard sound deactivated), 52RAM, ATI 9700 ALL-IN-WONDER.
DOES THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE DEPEND ON ANY WEIRD LITTLE WINDOWS SERVICE OR SETTING THAT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED DURING SETUP?
This is quite infuriating as any idea I come up with takes up a lot of time in installation, uninstallation and clean up. It worked before, why not now?
Thanks in advance. dentore

Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

How can i get the SSO to work successfully?

How can i get the SSO to work successfully? I followed the note for configuring infoview with ad sso using kerveros & .net.
Adding the AD group into the win ad authentication configuration page creates the user group but the members of the group aren't being pulled in when I go to the group and select / query the users tab

Bart,
By default the setting for update options on the Windows AD tab of authentication does not actually create the aliases until the user attempts to login the first time. We set it this way to prevent a huge group of alias's being created when the administrator sets up Windows AD and also so that only user aliases for users actually using the system get created. You can change this behaviour though if you like. Simply change the radio button option to 'New Aliases will be added and new users will be created' this will create the accounts for you when you hit the update button. If you have a large group your adding I would wait until and afterhours time when you have less activity as this will impact CMS performance while it creates all the accounts.

TS3274 How can I get the volume to work?

We have an iPad but can't get the volume to work?

Alright now if you are talking about issues using Safari, here a few things that you can try.
1. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
