HP printer/scanner not working with 10.6

I have a late 2009 MacBook Pro running 10.6.2. The printer, an HP 2350 All-in-One, was working, but the scanner was not.Then the printer stopped working. I got an "error" message in the print queue box. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, downloaded updated software, deselected and reselected the printer (in which I received the message some software was missing), did all the various unplugging, replugging, etc., etc. The scanner gives the message that another program is controlling the scanner. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Now instead of "error" in the print queue it says "printing", but nothing happens.

I've been struggling with the same **** problem for a week. I reformatted twice and reloaded my files with migration assistant and it still didn't work. Then I tried a 3rd fresh install, upgraded to 10.6.3 and loaded the HP drivers/software. Voila! IT WORKED.
Here's the kicker, I reloaded my software and files via migration assistant again and logged into my old profile. Then I tried to print and scan. Nothing, it was the same problem as before. But then I logged out and went to the freshly made account and it scans and prints just fine.
Going back to my old account, I deleted all the HP preferences in my user library and now everything works!
So here's the tip. Go to User (your user account) > Library > Preferences. Delete all instances beginning with com.hp.
Start up your scanner software again and it should work fine!

HP C7200 printer/scanner not working with Mac after new router installed.

I recently had my DSL modem go out and replaced it with a combo modem/wifi router. Since the install, my mac can't detect my printer. If I install it via the printer's IP, it'll detect ink levels for a day or two, but still won't print, and won't even detect the scanner. It says the printer is off-line when I try to print. I've rebooted everything, reset the printing system, downloaded updates, and downloaded the latest HP software. Nothing helps. So much for "just works".
My little Windows 7 computer was totally trouble-free after I reinstalled the printer.

If the printer does support Bonjour and it does not appear in the Default Add Printer view then I would say that the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer (and the Win7 PC). This could also explain why you can add the printer via IP but it won't print.
If the Mac is definitely on the same IP subnet as the printer then check you don't have an application running that could block Bonjour.
With regards to IP queues, ensure you select HP Jetdirect rather than the default of IPP (Win7 will be using Jetdirect which is known as Port 9100). Also, some drivers cannot be used with network connections. If the printer supports Postscript then try a Generic Postscript printer to test. If it doesn't support PS but supports PCL then there is a Generic PCL Laser driver you would try.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

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

Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
I hope this helps some of you.

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.

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 ?

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.

Why does my scanner not work with Yosemite

My father upgraded to Yosemite but now can't get his scanner to work with it. How can I advise him?

I have talked at length to Canon. Their support is normally very responsible and competent, but in this case, they say that they don't know if or when there will be a fix to the problem. All they suggest is that you download the drivers and reinstall them. They also suggest that you repair your disk permissions.
The problem is that after the first scan, the software tries to locate the scanner. After 90 seconds, there is a message saying that the scanner is in use by another application. Once you reply OK to that message, you can scan another document. So, it works, if you consider scanning a document every 90 seconds working. I don't.
The problem may well be Apple's, but resolution requires that Canon and Apple talk. They don't seem to be.

Lexmark P6250 scanner not working with iMac after recent software update, any ideas?

The scanner has always worked with the iMac but after a recent software update only the printer works now. I have searched the apple communities boards and have downloaded a variety of drivers suggested but nothing has solved the issue.
When I load print and scan from system preferences, I select to open the scanner and the process just hangs. I can see the scanner and am able to select to open but not able to scan.
Any ideas on how to resolve?

Unfortunately I have tried this and I have downloaded new drivers and restarted both the iMac and printer/scanner numerous times but I still only have the printer working.
I have tried to use preview via system preferences, print and scan and the when I select open scanner for preview the application hangs. I have also tried to use image capture and there is an error when selecting the scanner device of "Lexmark Language Error". When selecting overview within image capture I am advised that the size tryng to be scanned is too large when nothing has been selected and the default setting are standard size and then image capture hangs.
All features were working fine prior to conducting a software update about 8-10 weeks ago. I have downloaded further software updates which I had hoped would sort this issue but it hasn't.

Canon pixma mp500 scanner not working with mac osx 10.6.8

I'm having difficulty using my scanner. I've updated the Canon driver with the most recent version. It recoginises the printer/scanner but won't import image. Has anyone had a similar issue and successfully resolved it?

duncan, I've got an MX 880 series all in one printer, and have the same issue. A work around that I use is to select "e-mail" the scanned item. The scanned item is then inserted into an e-mail format where I can choose to download/save the scanned document into whatever folder I want. This was the only expedient method I could find. The Canon software capability between some of their newer printers and Mac operating systems is not totally compatible. For example, sometimes the top half of a line of text gets printed on one page, and the bottom half of the line gets printed on the ensuing page. Doesn't happen often, but it is annoying.

HP 3050 Scanner not working with Windows 7

My HP 3050 worked fine with XP. Now that i have a computer with Windows 7, the scanner will not work. I called HP, and they do not have a fix, and their Windows 7 computer with HP 3050 scanner works the same way. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Donaldparis,
After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
==================================
1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
6.Click Apply, click OK.
7. Please double click on the exe file again.
Good luck!
