This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.
I have tried to install the driver and have the cd and everything yet its not working period.... any ideas help suggestions?! i badly need some help.

HP Photosmart Plus Driver Issue

My computer was recently wiped clean of everything on it. I am in the process of TRYING to re-install my printer. The software seems to load fine but the drivers do not. I have tried the online download and it goes part way through and then stops and everything disappears. My printer is still not recognized!

Network printing, more driver issues

A simple HP990 connected to an IP print server is a disaster under OS X.
1) HP provides drivers that work wonderfully - as long as it's USB (wired)
2) HP drivers dissapear if ADD PRINTER cannot physically find printer during install
3) GIMP drivers are latest - and they are almost 2 years old
4) No 2-way comm w/printer - this is NOT an IP issue
5) Dozens of printer features are unavailable to OS - show ink etc
6) Duplexing is just plain broken
7) Although HP drivers are installed, they will NOT be available to you if printer is not connected via a WIRE. This is rediculous.
8) IP "Find Printer" does not work. Cannot even find Linux printers, much less Windows, netBeui, or Wireless printers.
9) If you force printer model, you cannot use proper HP drivers. Must use GIMP.
10) Once printer is installed/configured, you CANNOT change ports. Again this is redic.
I was told OS X was VERY problematic with printing. It's the achilles heel in an otherwise wonderful OS environment.
Come on, Apple. Fire the printer guy over there and get this stuff straight.

THe HP deskjet driver does not support printing to a DeskJet 990 connected to a generic TCP/IP print server.
In Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 the printer drivers had to enumerate the communication protocols that they supported. This requirement was removed in 10.2 but many of the printer manufacturers still provide drivers that are tied to specific protocols. The HP provided DeskJet 990 driver support USB and AppleTalk. It may also support printing over TCP/IP to an HP JetDirect server but I've never tried that.
The Gimp-Print drivers are written so that they are independent of the communications protocol used. The Gimp-Print drivers will work over USB, Bluetooth, LPD, IPP, AppleTalk, socket, SMB, and other protocols. The Gimp-Print project is very active. It is currently closing on the release of version 5. The project has been renamed Gutenprint. You can find more information here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
1. HP drivers work over USB and over TCP/IP depending upon the printer model. For example the Photosmart 2510 driver works great over a wireless connection using TCP/IP to that printer.
2. I'm not sure what is being described in this bullet item.
3. The latest version of Gimp-Print is v5.0rc2. As noted above the project is now called Gutenprint.
4. The HP drivers support bidirectional communication. The Gimp-Print drivers do not support bidirectional communications yet but they will likely do so soon.
5. Some drivers support low ink detection and some do not. The drivers that do support low ink detection show it in the print dialog and in the desktop printer. Most drivers also come with Utilities for checking ink levels and these are linked to by the desktop printer.
6. Duplexing works fine using the HP drivers. Are you having a problem with duplex and the Gimp-Print driver?
7. As discussed above the HP drivers can not be hooked to a communications protocol they do not explicitly support. This has nothing to do with wired versus wireless.
8. The Add printer browser shows locally attached printers, AppleTalk printers, Bonjour TCP/IP based printers, and printers shared from Linux CUPS servers. Other printers can be found by hitting "More Printers."
9. Again, yes, the HP drivers can not be used over a generic TCP/IP connection such as LPD, IPP, or socket. The Gimp-Print drivers do work over these connections. So do the HPIJS drivers. The HPIJS drivers can be found here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9979.
10. This is true. If the TCP/IP address changes on a printer then you need to re-add the printer.
I hope this is helpful.

Photosmart D7260 photo colors seem off

HI!
I've been happily using my Photosmart D7260 for many years and have always been thrilled with the quality of the photo printing. All of a sudden the pictures are either too dark or muddy, or too green - nothing like the image in my iPhoto. Even if I alter the images (make them brighter in iPhoto, for example), the colors are still not right and the pictures almost look fake! Very hard to describe. Any ideas how I can restore good color balance for printing my own photos?
Thanks so much,
Kris

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Very slow wine game/nouveau driver issue

Hello everyone, I'm trying to play a game (Civ 4) using wine. However, it was extremely laggy, and since it runs well on Windows (I have dualboot) plus it's not a very recent game and my laptop is reasonnably well-equipped, I thought it should work well on arch as well. Here is the link in the wine db. I should also add that I'm a very novice wine user so that might well be the (a) source of problem(s). Apart from the lagging, according to the sensors, the CPU's temperature rose from ~50°C to ~100°C within about A MINUTE.
I checked cpupower to see that the cpu was allowed to run at max speed and tried optirun to use the NVIDIA graphics card rather than the Intel graphics card I have installed. I'm by no means sure that the drivers are installed or configured properly by the way...
Starting with optirun looked to work (the loading screen came up) but when the main window should've been loaded, the application terminated with the following output:
err:winediag:wined3d_dll_init The GLSL shader backend has been disabled. You get to keep all the pieces if it breaks.
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
[VGL] ERROR: glXCreateContextAttribsARB symbol not loaded
terminate called without an active exception
Before today I only used optirun for VLC (though I don't really see a difference) and to check whether it would run with glxgears. Neither case had any problems. I tried softlinking nouveau_dri.so from the "/usr/lib/..." to the "/usr/lib32/..." directory as well as copying it but neither helped.
Some info:
Graphic cards:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev ff)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Packages:
local/xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards
local/nouveau-dri 10.2.8-1
Mesa drivers for Nouveau
local/bumblebee 3.2.1-3
NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux through VirtualGL
Some advice how to fix the driver issue or about what else might be causing the problems is greatly appreciated!

Besides agreeing with the notion above, you lack lib32-nouveau-dri and thus are unable to use acceleration with 32bit programs which is the undelying issue here.

Hard drive issues after update 10.10.3

Question also posted here:Hard Drive Issues (Both new and old)
I'm trapped in a HDD nightmare with my MacBook Pro mid-2012.
I updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 (with the Photos app). A couple of days after the update, I was watching a movie on my TV screen via HDMI. In the middle of the movie I removed the HDMI cable from the MacBook Pro and everything freezes. I forced shut down (Note: My HDD was encrypted). After I forced shut down, I tried to turn on and the loading screen would never stop loading - like, 14 hours stuck with the progress bar. Since I have backups, I decided to access DU and format my HDD. I tried everything. For real. Every command line I could type on Terminal to format, repair, erase and/or partition. I read almost every issue-related questions on the forums and stack exchange groups for a week (even posted my issue here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/181090/erasing-and-partitioning-hard-dr ive-from-internet-recovery?noredirect=1#comment215695_181090).
So, I decided that it was a HDD failure and bought a new one.
I bought the Seagate 1TB SSHD Hybrid - ST1000LM014. Installed the new fresh disk and guess what? All those same problems again. I´m not able to restore from Time Machine because it doesn't recognize the disk in the restore page. But the disk is recognized in the DU. When I try to erase or partition the new SSHD, the same old errors: File system formatter failed. Yes, I tired GUID Partition Table, all of the security options, etc.
Please. Any light that you can throw at this issue, I'll be very grateful for. BTW, the new SSHD is recognized and the SMART Status says: Verified.
Any ideas on *** is going on?
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), i7, 8GB RAM

After I erase the hard drive (I assume one pass of writing zeros is good enough, 7 passes not needed?) do I turn off the laptop, then turn on and insert the Install Disk? Will there be a prompt telling me when to put in the disk? Or do I put in the disc right after erasing?
One pass is fine. If you've previously backed up your hard drive to an external hard drive using SuperDuper!, which is what I use and recommend, or another program, if it created a bootable drive, you want to boot off of it, bring up SuperDuper! and copy the drive back to the internal hard drive. SuperDuper also makes the drive bootable. When done, reboot, and you should be all set. If you're using Time Machine, you'll want to install the operating system, then restore the Time Machine backup. SuperDuper! is available from http://www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper/superduperdescription.html
Finally- should I update the OS? Is there a problem with the newest update that caused this crash, or was it just a spurious glitch/bad luck?
I've been running 10.5.8 for awhile with no issues, and would recommend moving to it.

Can you use a Mac Mini to share documents between several devices? iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, etc...? We are a home based business with several locations across the state and are having Google Drive issues, looking into Mac Mini options.

We are having Google Drive issues (some files won't sync) and it's causing us trouble with our business communication. Is there any way to use a Mac Mini to share documents between two people in different areas similar to google drive? Would this just be done through iCloud?

If you use Numbers, Pages and KeyNote it si very easy to sync those document among all the Apple devices. You need montain Lion on the Mac and at least iOS 5 on the mobile devices.
I show those document on my Mac, iPad 4 and iPhone 4S

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
Apple iPod USB Device properties:
Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001
Driver Version - 5.1.2535.0
Digital Signer - Microsoft Windows Publisher

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens

Driver issue after Downgrading to Windows 7 (Pavilion 17-f081no)

So,i went to downgrade yesterday,and have had this problem ever since. Nothing works except one USB port at the right side of the laptop (when looked at front),no usb connections,no wireless or wired connection,nothing. They are all dead,including SD card slot.
I know its the driver issue,but i cant seem to find them. I need something for USB ports,Ethernet/Network card/,SM BUS controller etc. They are all listed under "Other devices" in Device manager.
What drivers should i be getting? I have been trying to google,but i am starting to feel really hopeless here.

Thanks

Thread back from the dead...
I have this exact scenario playing out today trying to use a PrecisionHD USB camera with Windows 7. Completed the 1.5 update listed here and following the update I see the results in the picture.

Anybody have success with this issue or have any additional ideas to try?

Driver issue on bootcamp now

I have bootcamp on my mac and am having a driver issue. When I switch from mac side to bootcamp, I have to uninstall and reinstall driver to get on internet. Wondering if I did something to cause this issue? can't seem to fix. Was working previously. Now, I cant switch and get on internet on windows side without uninstalling/reinstalling NVIDIA driver.

Once you have XP installed, it is independent of BC. My suggestion is to try the 4.0.4033 drivers.
