HP printer driver not working with 10.8.2

Can anyone give me advice on how to make my all in one laserjet HP printer M2727nf work in 10.8.2. Downloaded new driver software on January 10, since the new OS software update today again the printer is no longer connecting.
I have given up on the scanning function, albeit that it would be nice if it eventually would work again as well.

My printer does not work with mountain lion

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer does not work. I downloaded the required driver from the App Store but am still not able to connect. Is there actually a solution for this or do I need to find a way to downgrade my OS to one that is compatible with my printer?

From the HP site:
Compatible operating systems
Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows® XP (SP3)* or higher (32-bit only): *Supports 32-bit only; Mac OS X v 10.5, v 10.6 or v 10.7; Linux (For more information, see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html)
But then also on the HP site they have drivers for the printer for 10.8. See here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&s w_lang=&product=4323659#N194
I would try the driver from HP.

External DVD drive not working with Lombard G3 333

I have an external DVD drive that worked when I had 10.4, but had to reformat HD and now only have 10.3.9, and now the DVD drive does not work with DVDs, it will work with CDs and CDR media, but not with DVD media. My Lombard did not come with DVD originally and I am using a PC Card (Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card For PowerBook G3 Series) and it worked before with 10.4, but not with 10.3, any ideas? Also have tried with 9.x, no go either. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, would it be difficult to add a DVD logic board to my Lombard?
Joey

xamdu,
I am reading and replying to this post after first replying to your other post, so a few of my previous comments are redundant.
Regarding the FireWire(?) USB 2.0(?) DVD drive: It is possible Tiger supported your DVD drive but Panther does not. I would give PatchBurn for Panther a try:
http://patchburn.de/download.html
If the above is unsuccessful, take a look at this workaround:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040330171655882
You can swap logic boards but it does require a lot of disassembly.
Since no version of OSX supports Apple DVD Player, I am assuming you have a third-party player like VLC installed to watch movies. If this is the case, the DVD Decoder PC card is not necessary. If booted to 9.x, you of course will need the decoder PC card but I did not know 9.x's Apple DVD Player supported external drives.

Flex Print Job not working with custom component

Hi All,
I have to print pages with header, body and footer. So the thought process was to create a custom component fro header, footer and body. Header component is based on Box, Body is a renderer (which will have fix value of items - and will decide the number of possible pages) and footer is again based on Box.
But when i created a simple Custom component like this for header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
<mx:HBox>      <mx:Label id="testLabel" text="Test Container"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
Then when i try to add this to FlexPrintJob, and save it as 'xps' to see the print output, i get error message that this file is in use or damaged.
    var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if(!myPrintJob.start()){
      return;
var header:Header = new Header();
header.width = myPrintJob.pageWidth;
header.visible = false;
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addChild(panierPrintHeader);
myPrintJob.addObject(header);
myPrintJob.send();
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.removeChild(panierPrintHeader);
But this does not work and i get the above mentioned exception. Now when i not use the custom component and just have a label or HBox or anything on stage before the print functionality is invoked, it works fine. And this too haapens only if you have a mxml component, i tried by creating a new Label component using actionscript and then provide the same to the printJob, which did not work either. I need help on this, else i will have to take print functionality to server side(Java) which has some business implications, the reason why i am spending time on flex for printing.
Thanks and Regards,
Jigar
Looks like custom component print is not working fine with flex or i am doing something terribly wrong.
Looking forward for help.

Is there nobody in flex community who can help on this....
Looks like a toothless class that adobe actionscript team has provided, which is not liked across much

My printer does not work with firefox but does work with explorer

While using ebay I tried to print out a mailing label, and fox fire does not work with it anymore. My printer does work with internet explorer ?

What printer? Does the page appear correctly in Print Preview? What happens when you try to print?

Print button not working with Xerox pluggins installed

Thanks to the wonderful people here I found that if you have any Xerox plugins in /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins you can experience the print button not working.
Removing them fixes it which is nice but I need the plugins, anyone know a work arround?

I've seen this happen with some of our Xerox PPD's on PC's. The cause in this case, is their reference to virtual memory with older OS systems.
I instead used an older PPD or a PPD I had edited to support 200"x200" custom pages sizes, supporting full color.
All I needed was a clean postscript file.
The Adobe 7 PPD writes clean PS.
If you need some kind of VIPP instructions in your PPD for the Xerox, I'd look at getting a newer PPD form Xerox made for OSX.

Printer does not work with Windows 7

I need help for printing with my HP Deskjet IA 3545 eAiO printer.
I cannot print with my laptop running on Windows 7. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing countless times over the past 3 days using the accompanying CD as well as trying to get the latest driver updates from the internet but all failed to print. I have also tried using Wireless Direct but that did not work as well. The printer printed the internal page when I ran the HP Printing and Scanning Doctor tool.
I have no such printing issue with thsi printer model while using my desktop and other laptop running on Windows 8.1. This Windows 7 laptop prints smoothly however when I switch to my Brother DCP-J315W and Canon LBP7100Cn printers.
Windows Updates lets me know there is one important update for the driver for this printer but for some mysterious reason the Windows 7 laptop just will not accept the down-loading and installation operations for this particular update.
Please assist me.

Hi there @YuLen ,
Welcome to the HP Forums
I read your post about how your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 is not completely functioning on your own computer running Windows 7 however, another computer functions fine with the printer, and the printer will also print out test pages successfully. This seems to sound like an operating system issue so far, and I have some ideas in mind for you to try out that might help.
1. Run the Microsoft Fix It Tool to uninstall the printer.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Perform a Clean Boot.
4. Restart the PC again.
5. Run Windows Updates: Use your Start menu to check for updates
6. Download and run the full installation here: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
7. Try printing now!
If there is still an issue with performing the Windows Updates, contact Microsoft: Microsoft Support Forums
Good luck!

HP 8150N Printer still not working with Snow Leopard

I went to the Hewlett Packard page for a new driver and was told the new driver for my printer was included in the Snow Leopard update. I'm sure it is, but my computer can't find the printer. I've used advice from other discussions and tried what I could with the "Print & Fax" feature on my computer, but so far, nothing works. The printer to a network with two other computers in my office. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I believe this to be a "generic" statement since the support agent did not know what your problem was. I have double checked, and there are no known issues with the driver for the 8150n (at least none that engineering has been informed of and is working on).
I fully believe the problem you are experiencing is due to the lack of AppleTalk in Snow Leopard.
First print out the IP address of your printer by printing the configuration page. You may also be able to get this information on the front panel if you dig.
Second, open up the print and fax control panel and click the + button to add a printer. In the add printer window that opens, select the IP button at the top, choose the protocol of HP JetDirect - Socket, and then type the IP address of the printer. If the OS automatically selects the right printer driver (and not Generic PostScript) you are good to go. Click Add Printer and happy printing.
If it doesn't auto select the right printer then your printer probably does not have an IP address that is routable from the Mac. The easiest way to get the printer to grab a new IP address is to cold reset it. Cold Reset the printer by powering it down and then powering it back up while holding down the GO button.
This should force the printer to grab a new IP address. Follow the above steps again to add the printer, and away you'll go.
One drawback of this method is if you have a network that keeps changing and a DHCP server that doesn't reserve IP addresses for devices it is possible that the printer at some point in the future updates its IP address and is no longer reachable. If this happens, simply repeat the steps and you'll be all set. The other alternative is to assign a static IP address to your printer, but that takes a bit more work.
Just trying to help.

canon mf 6595 no longer works with Marverick

The new UFR2 has two requirements.
1. You must use the "Line Printer Daemon-LPD" protocol. This driver does not support IPP, which is set as the default.
2. When you add the ADV6065 and ADV8085, you must select the entry that shows "Canon iR-ADV 6055/6065" and "Canon iR-ADV 8085/8095". Do not select the entry that shows UFR II in the name. This is the PPD for the older UFR v2.43 driver which does not work on 10.9.

DVD drive not working with win 8.1

Hi. I have HP pavilion 15-e020TU notebook. My DVD drive worked with windows 7 and windows 8. After upgrading to windows 8.1 , the DVD drive is not working. Windows device manager can find the DVD drive but shows a yellow error mark. I selected "Update driver software" and then "Search automatically for updated driver software" . Then the name changed from "Mitsumi CD drive" to "hp DVD A DU8A5SH". And still not working. I installed the firmware update from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv481en&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jum... But a command prompt shows "Error: no mitsumi drives found." What can I do now ?

External DVD Drive not working with osx 10.8.5

Hi, I'm having issues with my MacBook Pro 15" 9,1 working with an external DVD drive. I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have been troubleshooting this issue for a few weeks. The optical drive itself is the original drive that came with the computer, but I have put it in an external enclosure to free up space inside the body of the MacBook Pro. The drive seems to function fine with CDs (playing and ripping - haven't tried burning yet) but is extremely inconsistent/barely functional with DVD playback. Only one DVD in my collection properly works - others bring up error messages in multiple programs (VLC, Wondershare, the native DVD application, etc.) and another continuously loops back to the main menu each time "Play Feature" is selected. These are a variety of DVDs that range from obscure to commercial and old to new (the oldest and most obscure is the only one that works). After deciding that it is not the programs, I replaced the enclosure. I still had the same exact issues. I reset PRAM - no solution there. I created a new user on my computer, installed the same media players and had the same luck. I then used the same external drive on my old MacBook Pro 15" (5,4 running OSX 10.6.8) to see if it would work there. It worked perfectly (with the native DVD application). What is going on here and how can I get my new computer to recognize the external DVDs reliably and consistently?

older superdrives were Hitachi mfg, new ones are Panasonic. Since yours is new and panasonic, indications are it wont work thru the enclosure on your NEW macbook, rather as you state on your older Mac.
until you said it worked fine on the old machine, the logical conclusion is a dirty lens on the laser since it reads CDs fine but most DVD not, since the track is much smaller.
Considering a new superdrive is only $48 on ebay ,or $78 for a new superdrive, your frustration might be too much, and just grab a new superdrive.
Your detailed information indicates a firmware incompatibility of the panasonic superdrive thru an enclosure
This is the new superdrive, made by panasonic as you have in your enclosure:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221280580133?lpid=82
of course thats a lot of trouble buying that AND an enclosure, easier still is just getting a Mac superdrive inside its working enclosure designed for use as such:

Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive not working with Macbook Pro (early 2011)

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I hope you guys can help me with this:
I've recently bought an external hard drive that works on Thunderbolt 2 (LaCie d2 3TB). When I connect the new drive to my Macbook Pro through the thunderbolt port, the drive isn't recognized. However, the drive works fine through a USB connection.
I thought that Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are compatible, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because the OS X / driver / firmware version that I'm working on that is not updated? I work on an early 2011 Macbook Pro: OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Thank you very much for your help!
Daniel

Hi danielsh6,
I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
Hope this helped!

External Optical Drive not working with iMac

I have a memorex external drive that I have been using to install Windows 7 with boot camp and have successfully used it on 2 mac-mini's. I am not trying to install Windows 7 boot camp on an iMac that has a broken internal optical drive but the external will not run.
I have tried:
- Startup Utility: Can see the external in there.
- External shows up on desktop with Windows 7
- External shows up in disk utility
- Windows shows up in startup menu with holding down Option.
I see iMac SSD Drive, Recovery HD Drive , Windows CD , EFI Boot cd as options.
If I select Windows it takes me to a black screen that says it doesnt see a boot CD clicking on EFI boot does nothing.
Anyone have any possible solutions into getting this to work?

This is confusing. If you have the external Optical Drive (Memorex) connected via USB to the iMac and insert a Windows 7+ DVD in it, the Apple Bootmanager will see OSX, Recovery HD, Windows (if already installed on the iMac's internal drive) and possibly Windows and EFI boot from the DVD.
The Windows and EFI Boot will not work if you try to boot the iMac from the external. Test this from the internal Optical drive as well. If your iMac is a UEFI Mac (2013+) it will let you boot from the DVD directly (without Bootcamp).
Bootcamp Assistant will refuse to let you use the external Optical drive, if you try use it to install Windows. BCA only works with internal Optical drives as far as Windows installation is concerned, on Macs that have a built-in optical drive. The exceptions to this rule are 2012 Macs and some 2011 models.
