HP Photosmart printer assistant will not run

When I am trying to run the assistant (the logo that looks like a picture of my printer) for my hp photosmart plus b210a, instead of running the control panel for this, it opens the "printer setup and software" options.
This means I am unable to view ink levels and activate or deactivate scan to computer.
Please can someone help......??
Thanks in advance for everybodies help on this.

Looks like the Printer assistant is not properly configured. In order to fix that you need to connect the Printer and complete the SW setup. If you are using Win 7 or Win 8, go to Device and Printers and double click on the Printer icon that should open the Printer assistant giving you access to all the options.

HP Support Assistant will not run

I'm trying to update to Windows 10, but keep getting the error code 80070003 and I have tried everything that has been suggested to me in the Microsoft community. I have also noticed that the HP Support Assistant will not run. Please help! dfreehill

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community! Which HP device are you using? Are you using the "Update this device" or the "Media Creation" method? I updated 3 PC's today using the suggestions from here: http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/1/9083501/microsoft-windows-10-update-download-how-to-guide WyreNut

My HP Photosmart Printer/Scanner will not scan since installing Maverick help

Since installing Maverick my HP printer/scanner will not scan documents print or save them, how can I fix this?

this worked for my HP printer/scanner:
Try:
uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
if your printer is there in the column on the left:
control-click on your printer
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
if your printer is not in the column on the left, go to the next step.
do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
if you connect to your printer/scanner via wifi, reset the wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
if you do not connect via wifi, go to the next step
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple.If it won't, then try going to the HP website and there may be a new software package for your printer that is compatible with Mavericks. Download and install it.

Hello trwhite,
Please take a look at this document, which has links with step-by-step instructions on how to print various things from various places (computer, phone, tablet, etc.). This document shows how to print photos saved on your computer, which I suspect is the specific document you are looking for.
Please let me know if this helps answer your question.

- Set the paper size (the next option down) accordingly

HT1338 I have updated my new MacBook Pro for HP Photosmart All-in-One, but it still will not scan - it will print, but will not scan. How can I fix this?

I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a. It prints, but will not scan. Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan. Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.

Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software.

My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.
Vista OS 32 bit.
Paper jams completely with either single or multiple sheets.
No changes to the system. Plain paper feed just fine.
Thanks

Hi antonaki,
Did your printer accept glossy paper before and just stopped working with it ?
What kind of glossy paper are you using and what is the weight ?
Here is the product specs for your printer and a list of the types and weights of paper you can use.

Satellite A105-4384: Vista Print Spooler will not keep running

I upgraded my Satellite A105-4384 to Windows Vista professional. I downloaded all of the driver updates from Toshiba's website and ever since....my print spooler service will not run.
It starts with no error but immediately dies. Please advise of a fix for this. FYI. It dies w/no printer installed.

Hi
I do not know what happen exactly but I am wondering if print spooler service has something to do with Toshiba directly or maybe you should ask Microsoft what is wrong there.
I use Vista Ultimate on older Satellite M70 and I can print all my Word documents.

Adobe Download Assistant Will Not Recognize My Adobe ID

I've been an Adobe customer / forum user since before ID's were tied to email addresses. My product registrations going back to 1996 through CS 5.5 apps are recorded under that ID. Since I have to change my email address every couple years to escape spammers, I do not want to change my Adobe ID (and go through the hassle of re-recording the record of registered apps) to a "fluid" ID like an email address.
Automatic registration and now Adobe Download Assistant will not accept an Adobe ID that is not an email address, yet I can still use it to 'manually' register new / upgrade product purchases. The problems this poses are two-fold:
Since I can only manually register new / upgrade products, I cannot obtain any "registration bonus" downloads.
I cannot download trial versions of apps I want to check out.
Adobe needs to get its act together and tell its gen-X / Millenials / Kid Web and software development staff that not all Adobe IDs are email addresses, but might also be a unique user ID string.
Further, due to an individual's email address volatitility (virtually everyone in my email address book had their email address change every 2- 3 years due to ISP demise, merger, personal relocation, job change etc.), Adobe should return to - or at least give precedence to - the model of UID / PW authentication instead of email address / PW authentication. This would lower Adobe maintenance effort / cost for user accounts as one could simply sign in with UID + PW and change email address for the account as necessary. As it is now, Adobe CANNOT deal with a user whose email address changes.
When Adobe changed from UID precedence to email precedence, I could not register Acrobat Pro (2007) during registration so I used my email address at that time to register the product. When that email address ceased to exist, I tried to get Adobe to transfer that registration to my old [non-email address] Adobe ID, and, over several months of email exchanges, they ended up admitting they could not do it. I could not make the change as the SN was already marked as used in there system so simply re-registering it to my existing account wouldn't work either.
This has been an ongoing issue with "legacy" users since 2006 at least, and NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP!!!!

There you go MISSING THE POINT AGAIN!! My Registered products WILL NOT FOLLOW MY UID IF I CHANGE IT, NEVER DID SINCE 2007. Saying the will is false information which I alerted Adobe to back in 2007 and is a problem y'all never fixed.
Just a little over a week ago, I got I got LightRoom 4 ug from a LR 3 I had purchased in March. Signing on with my legacy UID (non-email) allowed me ADD those registrations to my account, as I had cor CS 5.5, 4, 3, etc. etc. Now, isn't it odd that the very day after I posted here, when I sign in to my account it shows NO REGISTERED PRODUCTS!!! If I look at my order history, it has orders from Adobe store from last weeks CS6 MC purchase back to 2007 when I started buying from Adobe directly after the local brick and mortar resellers disappeared.
So I try to register CS6 MC, it tells me the SN is already in use. I try open a PDF document and it tells me I have to first register and agree to the Acrobat Pro X license before I open a doc - and it was an UPGRADE FROM CS 5.5 MC. I try to run CS 5.5 apps and they tell me I have to purchase a license since the trial period is over - HUH! Until I posted here it was working FINE. I go back to my acccount (non-email UID sign in) and check my profile - Lo and behold SOMEONE (not me) has changed the UID to an email address instead of the non-email UID I sign in with AND DELETED ALL MY PRODUCT REGISTRATIONS!
Naturally, your software does not let me put it back to the same UID I use to sign on with so THE LINK TO ALL MY REGISTERED PRODUCTS IS GONE, I CANNOT REGISTER NEW ONES (which was no problem just a day or two before posting here) WHICH PROVES WHAT I WAS TOLD IN 2007 - WHEN YOU CHANGE UID'S YOUR LEGACY REGISTRATIONS WILL BE LOST!!!
So, in summary you (Adobe at least, and I suspect you personally) went in and messed with my legacy account, deleting all my registrations, as I was told in 2007 would happen and advised to keep the old UID if I did not want to blow away those registrations, when I explicity did NOT want to make such changes. And, should I need an SN for some upgrade offer or to install an update for an older product that I did not transition to the new facility, I have to HOPE that I had I can find the original purchase invoice and that there is a copy of the SN / Reg card attached to it.
THANKS A PANT LOAD!!

Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

ICal print menu will not come up

I have been trying to print my iCal calendar from my PowerBook G4, but the print menu will not come up. I have printed it from here before, so where did the print menu go? Help!

We have exactly the same problem here:
OS 10.4.3, iCal 2.0.3, HP Photosmart 2610
- Printing on any app works fine, ecept iCal
- in iCal choosing the command "print..." just does nothing.
I tried:
- creating a new user - > printing in iCal works fine!
so I tried:
- trashing ...
... all ical-plists in "user/Library/Preferences/"
... the folder "user/Library/Application Support/iCal"
... moving all user-pref files out of the preferences folder
... disabling all the fonts in "users/Library/Fonts/" and "hd/Library/Fonts"
no way the get it back to print!
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the HP printer, cause on a different account it works.
Any ideas what else I could disable?
Thanks for ideas

Firefox 4.0 will not find update to 4.0.1, add-ons for 4.0.1 will not run

30 May 2011, 18:22h UTC
Downloaded 4.0 UK-edition on my laptop, the 4.0 US-edition on my desktop, and the 4.0 UK-edition on a 2nd laptop.
On mine, updates to 4.0.1 are not found, some add-ons were taken off, as incompatible, that ran on the 4.0 on my desktop (and weren't on the 2nd laptop). Add-ons, now already even compatible with 4.0.1 (running on the 2nd laptop) will not run as 'incompatible' with 4.0 (though listed on the add-ons site as compatible.
It has stopped telling me that 'something' is pretending to be an update from Firefox (whatever that 'something' be?) since setting the browser to updating manually, but asking me first what to do. All currently installed add-ons have not asked me for some time (though on other computers), and also report as fully up-t0-date.
Ergo: Neither Firefox 4.0 nor any installed add-ons update correctly.
Didn't crash, though it 'likes' doing that after printing (always Badly! with dreadful printing options/previews), leaving two tabs (rather than the one before), both of which only can be shut from their context menus. Crash reports have been sent with same email address, but not been answered. This browser has all the qualities of a Beta-release and needs some serious overhauls (it's also not very new or much safer!).
Example for an add-on that won't install on 4.0, but will under 4.0.1: CookieMonster - which is desperately needed, given your browser still suffers from minimal, insufficient cookie management, incl. lists of domains that wish to set 'another' cookie when no cookies are as yet, allegedly, sitting on the computer.

I've since updated manually to 4.0.1, but haven't yet tried the full uninstall version, because I have to export plenty of settings first (and/or manually copy them). Also means I'd have to start from scratch with many customizations in No Script.
That said, I'll try the 'Safe Mode' option tonight, thank you :-)!
If I have to uninstall the whole shebang, I'd be more tempted to go back to 3.6.x until a few more of 4's teething problems (e.g. the messy print dialogues, particularly preview, which regularly doesn't even work) have been tackled.
Thanks-1M! for now - keep you posted.

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.
I'm testing 32bit software that will run in 7-64 Pro but will not in win 7 home premium or vista.
The 7-64 Pro machine is NOT running the program in XP mode although is is being run as admin. The 7 home premium and vista beta testers have tried every work around/mode, admin mode, and anti-virus exception. I've run process explorer & WinMerge to evaluate
the differences between os operations & dlls loaded but am unable to find the OS issue.
Currently 2-win7-64 machines, 1 vista machine and 1 win 7 machine had no issues with the program as it started up and ran immediately.
After 3 beta's 30 hours of testing & 50 of my own, I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the win 7 home premium and vista os's.
Can anyone here suggest other ways to further narrow it down so as to provide functionality on all 3 os's?
