HP Printer (scan function) not compatible with Time Capsule

I bought a HP Deskjet 4580 and it is recognized by OSX 10.6.6 as 4500 series.
I have downloaded latest drivers via Software Update (today - Jan 20th 2011) and the scanner works fine when plugged in to USB.
I can see it in the Airport Utility and install the printer but the scanner option disappears.
any suggestions? I would like to use the full capability of the device with the time capsule if possible.
Thanks

I just found out that scanner, fax, copying is not supported by Airport Utility.
Thanks

I have PSE13 on my system, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. It was functioning properly after installation and now I get these messages when I go to print: "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You need to check your printer settings before printing." and then this statement: "Default printer could not be opened." I have reloaded drivers for both printers and made any upgrades possible. It was working fine before and now all of a sudden, nothing. Would prefer to have old PSE v.12 back, it worked with no problems.

Photoshop CS5. Saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

I am hoping someone has experienced this problem. I am working at a clients
office which has a large Konica Printer. When I first started using Photoshop at this office I
could print directly from PS to thier printers. Then a printer driver change or something I cannot pinpoint changed and I began getting the Error Message: The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing. I click OK and the second Error Message appears: There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a priner and reopened any documents. The radio button has the single response word "Cancel". After clicking that button the printing is grayed out and until I go into Color Settings and change the setting drop down box to something else, close PS and reopen the, or any file and the same thing occurs. Ihad the IT department down here and after an hour he clicked on settings and tinkered around until all of a sudden the printing was enabled. It worked until the printer driver was updated. Once again the IT guy was down here and didn't remember what he did, tinkered around and after changing the color settings to: Monitor Color, it printed. Here we go again, printer settings were randomly changed so we reinstalled the printer driver and again PS is not printing.
Is there anyone who has experienced this issue who can help me make sense of this insanity. Is there a sequence of setting changes, opening of the program and file that is allowing the color management to stop interferring with my printing other than Gremlins in this machine? I have not found anything Googling on this issue. Please help me . . . Annette

I don't think I have an answer for you about exactly what went wrong, but one thing that can help with understanding the messages (and maybe can help you and your IT people figure it out) is this:
Photoshop saves the information about the last printer the document was printed to as metadata in the document file. So if you make a print then save the PSD, the printer info is in the PSD.
If recently you opened an image that had previously been printed at another place (and which didn't have an exact match to the printer available in your current location), then you can start to imagine these error messages making a bit more sense. Things like "The saved printer information" begin to have meaning.
Hope this helps.

Saved printer information is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11

Hello - After successfully using PSE11 to print photos on my Epson Artisan 810 printer, the printer died and was replaced with an Epson Artisan 837 printer. The new printer works on ALL of my other applications EXCEPT I receive the following error message after hitting 'print' on Photoshop Elements 11.
MESSAGE:
The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
You can see from the screen print attached that the Epson Artisan 837 is a validly installed printer. All advanced settings were available for selection/modification, and all printer drivers are up to date. Also, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer without resolution of the problem.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?
Thanks so much, Debbie
Running:
Windows XP sp3 (up to date)

You did indeed lead down the correct path with only a little modification required in the naming (see below). Thank you so very much!!
Here's what I had to do to get this to work:
1 - I first tried to rename this printer to a generic 'DSLW Printer'. This renaming worked for ALL OTHER applications except Photoshop Elements 11 even after rebooting my PC. Received the identical error message listed in the original message.
2 - I then renamed the printer as 'EPSON Artisan 810 Series'. This was of course a lie but matched the printer as named by the 2010 original Artisan 810 installation. VOILA! This does work for Photoshop Elements 11 (jpg and psd files tested) and the other applications that I've tested. Hopefully all other testing will provide equally successful results.
So problem seems to be resolved BUT is this a question/problem that I should pursue with either Adobe or Epson? I do know that the 810 and 837 only differ in the ability to print from a wider variety of wireless devices (e.g. cell phones & tablets), otherwise the functionality is virtually identical. Did Epson drop the ball or did Adobe? Or maybe it's simply that I'm a die hard XP sp3 (32 bit) user until forced out by Microsoft.
Thanks again!!
Debbie

The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

Hello,
I hope somebody can help us. I am a IT Technician in a school, we have approx 500 Windows 7 64bit machines with about 600/700 users - 200 machines have the CS5.5 Master Collection installed on them. We have an intermittent issue with printing from Photoshop (both the 32bit and 64bit versions). Our printers are mostly HP LaserJet printers (all modern), but we have an Epson B-510DN Inkjet and some Xerox copiers too. The drivers are all installed on a central print server running Server 2008 R2 and shared via Group Policy to client machines.
In rooms where Photoshop is installed, intermittently when a student goes to print we will recieve the following error:
The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
Photoshop will then grey out the 'Print' button and won't let the user print again. The odd thing is that we can still print from other software such as Microsoft Word or even non Microsoft software - even Illustrator will print. It just seems to be Photoshop thats has any issues.
This happens when printing to any printer on site, 90% of which are HP's. As a general rule we configure all of our HP printers with HP's PCL6 Universal Print Driver as it makes management of various printer models easy, and we haven't found it to limit us atall yet. We are aware the Adobe software is 'preferential' to Postscript drivers but our printers arn't, being HP's PCL is their native language. We have tried changing a printer to the Postscript UPD driver to test it but it made no improvement. We have also seen the issue quite indepth with our Epson B-510DN which is configured with Epson's latest model specific driver as our photography department use it. Since we are seeing it with different printers I don't believe the printer drivers are to blame - unless somebody want's to prove me wrong.
Like I say the problem is intermittent, and we are having trouble tracing it down to a user, computer or a software problem as it is so intermittent. Has anybody else seen this and managed to overcome it? Since it's only happening in Photoshop is it a bug that Adobe have recognosed and fixed in CS6? The only workaround we have found for it is to go into printers, chnage the defualt printer from one to another and back again - this seems to shut Photoshop up.
Thanks, Dave.

Chris,
Apologies for my slow reply - we have been busy here the past few weeks.
We are using a standard Microsoft provided JPG image (Tulips.jpg) so we have ruled out it being an issue with the image; perhaps if we were using a PSD, maybe so.
We have now found out what the issue is, and what the workaround for this bug is. All of our printers across our site are named in a specific format, usually [Location name] [Room number] [Mono or Colour] resulting in printer names such as Photography A11 Colour, Art A2B Colour and Design Technology A14 Colour. All of these names contain numbers. We have tried reimaging machines, reinstalling Photoshop, upgrading to CS6, deleting and reconfiguring printers with the same name. Finally the only solution that worked was to take the numbers out of the name, either by renaming or deleting and reconfiguring the printers. The Photography printer is an Epson B-510DN using a model specific driver and the other two use the HP PCL6 UPD driver, so I don't believe the drivers are to blame and since renaming the printers work I don't believe it's a configuration issue either. Remember that these printers are shared from a print server and deployed via Group Policy (using the Print Management method).
I hope this provides you Chris, and others searching Google, a useful explanation of the problem and what the fix is. As much as Adobe won't admit it's a problem/bug, I and many others across the internet believe that it is and that it should be fixed in future versions of Photoshop.
Thanks, Dave.

Epson Print Servers compatible with Time Capsule?

First up: I'm no techie. Epson tells me I will need an Epson print server to enable me to print wirelessly on my ADSL-Time Capsule 500GB (7.3.2)-Airport (5.3.2) network, using an Epson DX8400, which they tell me doesn't support network printing: so far so bad (& so much for the cheap all-in-one printer). Can anyone tell me (if there is no other way of achieving wireless printing) if the Epson print servers are compatible with Time Capsule? I don't have the tech spec to hand, but there are only 3 PSs on the Epson website, 2 of which appear to be the same but vary by a few pounds in price (about GBP150). This was an expense I didn't want, but if I can print wirelessly (AND IT WORKS!) I will pay it, because I want to get a desktop model as well soon & will want to print wirelessly from that as well. I have posted this to the Time Capsule forum as well, but any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

yep am using a usb hub,time cap. has only the one usb port- yes two usb outs on the hard drive , sorry, which merge into one into the hd, is bus powered...

External hard drives compatible with time capsule generation 3

I am trying to connect a little 160Gb HP hard drive to my time capsule via a hub which also connects successfully a non wireless printer. This particular hard drive uses two usb in's to connect. Once i plug it into time capsule, it powers up, thinks for a while,the wee blue light becomes solid and there it is.
However it does not show up in the finder sidebar under Shared - though i have set preferences to show everything. the hard drive is formatted correctly, and i can access it when i plug it directly into the imac.
am i missing something ? or is it just not compatible with my time capsule ? - perhaps the two usb connections are the cause? i just want to be able to save files and access them on the external hard drive via the network from imac and laptop, instead of having to plug it in to either.....
any help much appreciated...

My MacBook Po can not connet with Time Capsule for Internet. Back-up are ok

Hi to all,
If I connect the ADSL line to Time Capsule no Internett available.
If connect the live with eternet cable to MacBook pro all is fine.
Mack book pro do all the backup with Time Capsule in WiFi
Hot to have the MacBook connectid to Time Capsule in WiFe for internet too??
Easy explanation please, I'm really beginner

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

Printer driver is not compatible with Vista

The software with my hp psc 1210 printer is incompatable with my new laptop with a Vista operating system. Loading this screws up my laptop shut down! How can I find a driver to download which suits Vista?

and why you post this here in forum for Toshiba notebook if your printer is not even a Toshiba product?
The driver for printer should be requested from the printer manufacturer and not from notebook/computer manufacturer.
I assume this is an older printer and the drivers were compatible only with Win XP and older.
So contact the printer manufacturer to get the drivers for Vista or Win 7
PS: How about these driver:

Printer does not work with Time capsule

I have a cannon mp960 which up until recently has been hooking up wirelessly to my mac via Time capsule. Yesterday I couldn't print. I was able to print when I directly hooked up the printer to the computer. When I attempt to switch it back it will sometimes find the printer and other times it doesn't. Sometimes it won't let me add the printer (I get an -300 error) other times it works fine.
Could it be a hardware problem?
Any thoughts about this issue?
Thanks,
Keith

I found a solution to this problem. Open AirPort Utility>select the Time Capsule>Manual Setup>Select the "Printers" tab at the top>check the box in front of "Share printers over Ethernet WAN port">click update at the bottom and Voila!!

Cannot print to wireless HP 7280 with Time Capsule

I just put up Time Capsule. My windows and mac machines are able to hook into the wireless router portion with no problem. My main problem is that I cannot print to my HP7280 wireless printer. I had a belkin wireless router that I replaced with the TC. The belkin worked fine with the printer but TC does not. I am able to ping the printer and I have deleted and reinstalled the printer on the Mac with no problems. When I go to print it says that it is unable to connect to the printer and will retry in 30 seconds. I can see the items in the queue but they won't print.
One other point. I have a Canon Mp830 hooked in through USB to the TC and it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

Airport Express not working with Time Capsule

I replaced a NetGear wireless router with a new Time Capsule. After some trial and error I got everything that was hanging off the NetGear - 2 x TiVo machines, printer, extra ports for business laptops - working except my "old" Airport Express unit that I had been using to send my iTunes to my stereo tuner. I just cannot get this to connect to the Time Capsule wirelessly no matter what I do. It works just fine when connected wirelessly direct to my iMac but just will not connect to the Time Capsule as a client. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

Clear Wireless Modem not communicating with Time Capsule

I have a clear wireless home modem and am having connection issues with my time capsule. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? I know the modem is working because when I connect the ethernet directly into my computer it works. Help!?

Is this a new TC?
Most important.. did you power cycle the modem. If this is a cable network pure modem ie no router function.. did you power down the modem for say 20min at least?? Then power up modem wait a couple of min for it to stabilize then power up the TC.
If the TC is bridged this is not necessary.. ie your cable modem is also a router.
Here is a bit of detail about checking the wireless is ok.. but IMHO the likely issue is not wireless per se.
Did you use identical wireless names? If so try deleting all the old names in the computer under the wifi network preferences.
Select each one and use the minus to delete it.
Then redo the configuration for the TC.
No luck start over .. factory reset the TC use all new names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will give you much less problems in the future.
Still no luck make sure you have ipv6 set correctly.. ie link local only and check the gateway (router in applespeak) and dns values are correct.. dns is not on the main page.. it has a separate tab.
