Hp printer software update 3.0, now unable to print from preview

I have a mid 2007 iMac with a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS 10.9.5 Build 13F34. I updated the HP Printer Software Update Version 3.0 on Oct 9, 2014. I have a HP Laserjet 3050 All in One printer that has worked flawlessly.
Now when I try to print PDFs or Jpegs from Preview, the "ready light" on the printer flashes a couple of time but nothing prints out. I cannot print from Preview. I cannot print PDFs from Adobe Reader. I can print Jpegs from iPhoto.
I have time machine. How can I go back to the previous HP printer software version and will I mess up my computer by trying to do so?

Yeah, I thought that "update" just updated Apple's printer drivers that it stores on the computer. I didn't know that it actually applied the drivers. At any rate, those are presumably Apple's drivers, not HP's. The printer manufacturer's drivers usually have more functionality than Apple's.
Sorry, I can't tell you where to look for that driver in Time Machine. However, I have another suggestion.
First, power down and unplug the computer for 15 seconds before rebooting. If that doesn't work, then the next question is: Have you ever downloaded and run HP's Mac software for this printer? IF SO, you might try deleting your printer in system preferences, and then adding it back, however, when it's found, do not accept the default AirPrint software but check the dropdown list to see if there's an option for HP software before continuing.
If you've never installed HP's software, then downloading it from HP and running it's installation may resolve your problem.

XBR-55x900A software update today. Now saying no signal from receiver.

Today I had a Sony Software update download on my XBR-55x900A. The TV now says that it is not receiving a signal from the Denon receiver. Everything worked fine until the update. I have done a hard reset, reset the factory software, bought new HDMI 2.0 cables and still not working. I can attached the cable box directly to the TV and it works. Would really like to get everything back through the stereo receiver.

Epson printer software update 2.14 killed my printer

On Mac OS X 10.7.5 - after epson printer software update 2.14 my 9890 started printing images "smeared" out of register across the page.
Over an hour with Epson tech ended with trashing the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and downgrading to the previous driver. This fixed the 9890 but left my R1900 disabled. R1900 software is no longer available as a stand-alone install - only through Sofware Update. But that will kill my 9890.
Epson tech said it's Apple's fault and they need to fix it.
Apple, where's the fix?

I had the same problem and after untold hours working with Apple & Epson we got to the problem with the Apple software update 2.14. I was told I had to decide if I wanted my 9900 to work or my office printer (Workforce 610) to work. I was incredulous that I would be forced to make this choice but of course chose to get my 9900 back up and running. This fix was given to me 3 weeks ago tomorrow and we still no resolution from Apple / Epson? Are you kidding me? I am considering throwing my Epson 610 in the trash and buying another brand of office printer so I will have no conflict with my 9900. Seems like a pretty stupid solution I must admit.
I called Epson back again on Friday and got a horrible run-around. The guy from the Pro Graphics group (techs for the professional series printers) insisited I needed to talk to the consumer printers group. Once I got to them it was clear they had no clue about this issue. I left the phone totally frustrated and angry. I ended up emailing a very capable guy from the Pro Graphics group I had worked with 3 weeks ago and he was nice enough to reply. The answer however was there is still no fix to the Apple update. At t his point I am not sure how to know if the update has been fixed. The message I get from Epson is just keep checking back. The problem is that it seems few at Epson are aware of the problem so you have to go through a long explanation only to hope you find someone that is aware.
Nothing like running a printing company and telling your customers you cannot print their invoice because your printer doesn't work! Thanks Apple for the quick fix on this!

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Reinstall the driver directly from Epson's website. If you are still having problems after the reinstall, you should contact Epson tech support for a solution and/or work-a-round.

How do I report a bug: HP Printer Software Update 2.7 not compatible with HP C5200 series (C5280)

Hi
I've recently updated my 2011 vintage 22" 3GHz iMac recently bought from Apple themselves to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my HP printer/scanner (C5280) has just stopped working - printing half a page and then complaining:
"Communication Error: Unable to send print data ..." blah blah.
It was working fine under 10.6.7 ...
What seems like several months later, I have
1) checked the cable
2) checked the printer (it works on a Windows machine)
3) Downloaded the "latest" drivers from the HP website (dated 2009)
4) Scrubbed the HP software (using HP uninstaller option with Cmd-Cntrl-Opt pressed)
5) Downloaded the "Software Update" version of HP Printer software update 2.7 .....
6) Installed the HP software again (just in case it needed to be in that order)
7) Scrubbed it again
8) RE-downloaded HP Printer Software Update 2.7 via Software Update
and tried printing again ..... still no joy.
My view is that this is a bug.
Is it possible to report such a phenomenon to anyone in Apple / HP who would actually take notice (or, whisper it) care?
Any further suggestions - or perhaps ideas for places to take a restful vacation - gratefully received.
Thanks
DJB

Is your wretched printer the same model? How about the Mac - and your OS.
I have tried to persuade HP that this should be investigated here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/Unable-to-send-print-data -Photosmart-C5280/td-p/434623/page/2
Please do contribute to that discussion too, since I assume that HP will be the organisation to investigate/correct any driver problems.

HP Printer softwares update version 3

Since 5th Oct 2014 I have received thirty three (33) HP updates of "HP Printer Software Update Version 3", and there is always another one "available awaiting ".
Surely this cannot be correct..?
How do I stop this..?
My system is Mac now running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10

Hi @JohnHP49,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are constantly getting HP Printer Software updates for your Mac 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you!
Most likely, there are two reasons this could be happening: a) 10.10 is still new so Apple could be putting out more frequent updates, or b). The update may not be fully complete, and keeps retrying.
Is there a way you can verify, if the updates have completed or not?
Also, what printer do you have? To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

HP Printer Software Update 2.11 cut my header

I have instated the HP Printer Software Update 2.11 and now I cannot print or pdf my header & footer - they have been cut...HELP!

That's what I tried first...moving the margins in page setup but still it doesn't work. One can see the top and bottom are chopped off in print preview too.

HT3669 HP Printing Software Update

I just let the Software Update do its thing on my Mac, and now my Designjet T610 is behaving strangely. It won't print part of the sheet border on my drawings. Even stranger, it only does this on the first of multiple copies of a sheet that I print. Print one copy, no border. Print two or three copies, no border on the first, the second and third print normally.
Anyone else seeing something like this? Any ideas on how to fix, other than wasting a lot of paper printing one extra copy of everything?
Early 2008 Mac Pro, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, memory 10 GB. OSX 10.8.2. Printing with PowerCADD 9. All was working fine before this software update.

I fixed it by doing the following:
Deleted the printers in the System Preferences: Print & Scan window.
Deleted the hp folder in my hard drive root directory: Library: Printers folder
Deleted all the HP PPDs in hard drive root directory: Library: Printers: PPDs: Contents: Resources folder
I then downloaded the latest HP printer software update from the Apple site, ran its installer, and installed my HP printers again in System Preference: Print & Scan.
Success! I will need to recreate some custom page sizes in the DesignJet driver, but at least printing works properly.
By allowing the Apple Software Update to install itself from the App Store Software Update window, I must have allowed some sort of corruption of the printer software to occur.

How to address HP Printer Software Update 3.0, iTunes 12.0.1 update that sits in the App Store, 'Calculating' for days with no install?

The App Store indicates there is a Software Update that appears to include the HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and iTunes 12.0.1
Unfortunately, the software update fails to install. Instead, it just sits there 'Calculating' for days with no progression on the status bar of the overall update.
The update buttons of both the HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and iTunes 12.0.1 are both greyed out, with no progress bar.
Not sure of what the issue is, there is no warning or error dialog box that appears or any indication of an application that may be interfering with the install.
Any advice?
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) 2.3 GHz Core i7, 4GB RAM

Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to install the individual updates but because I had settings to automatically download and install updates, whenever I opened the App Store, the system would try to download and install, preventing me from canceling the update to execute each application update one at a time.
After changing the settings from automatically downloading and applying updates, followed by a restart. I was able to open the App Store and run each individual update.
Thanks again.

HP Laserjet 3055 printer "waiting for printer to be available" after HP Printer Software Update 3.0

I have an HP Laserjet 3055 All-in-One Printer. It has been printing just fine from my iMac running OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) until after the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0, that I installed on 1 Oct 2014. Although the 3055 is shown as connected/idle to my iMac via USB, after clicking "PRINT" for a document, the print queue status soon changes from "printing" to "waiting for printer to become available", and the printer never becomes available. I have tried rebooting everything (printer, computer, text software), checking USB cable connections and changing USB ports, deleting and re-adding the 3055 printer (numerous times!) even after resetting the print system, but could there be something inherently wrong with the latest HP driver (version 19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052)? Or is it possible something else is going on? In other words, I have exhausted all the solutions I've found in these and other forums to no avail.
I have tested this printer by connecting it to my MacBook Pro (also running OX 10.9.5) but without having installed the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0. (Hadn't gotten around to this update...) The printer works fine, even though the driver has the same version number--19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052. So could the version 19.9 driver in the latest HP Printer Software Update be corrupted? Is there any way to reinstall that driver? Or copy the 19.9 driver from my MacBook Pro and install it on the iMac? HP only refers to the Apple Software Update process for Mavericks compatible drivers for this printer. Can I manually uninstall the HP driver for the Laserjet 3055 from my iMac and then have the iMac download the driver again in the process of re-setting up the 3055? Any suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks for your suggestions. After creating a bootable back-up, I tried the first suggestion--downloading and re-installing the HP printer driver update kit for which you kindly provided the link--but to no avail. Before downloading the driver update kit, I "reset the printing system", clearing all the installed printers, queues, etc. After re-installing the HP printer drivers, I went to System Preferences>Printers & Scanners to once again add the HP LaserJet 3055 only to discover it was already listed as installed! This I find baffling, to say then least. I tried printing and again got the "waiting for printer to be available" message. I subsequently tried deleting and re-adding the printer, going through the printing system reset again, but still no-go.
I also tried another approach to adding the printer which perhaps will shed some light on the problem. After clicking on the "+" button to add the printer, I select the "HP LaserJet 3055" which shows up as available via USB. Then, instead of using the "HP LaserJet 3052" driver that automatically appears in the "Use" [choose a driver] field, I chose "Auto Select" to see what happens. As the computer processes this request, the status message changes from "Gathering printer information..." to "Waiting for printer to become available..." And, of course, it never becomes available. This strikes me as odd, that the printer set-up system "sees" the printer accurately enough to list it as available to add but can't find it with the "Auto Select" approach to getting the appropriate driver. Of course, when I simply go with the "Use HP LaserJet 3052" driver option that, naturally enough, is the one automatically suggested by the printer set-up system, the printer is "successfully" added. I say "successfully" in quotes because it never becomes "available" to print something.
Before I try your second suggestion--downloading and re-installing the 10.9.5 combo update--I wonder if it's possible that the printing system reset process is "broken". It's as though the reset fails to clear the printer queue, making it appear that there is a pending printing job that the system is waiting to be finished. Also, as noted above, I reset the printing system prior to re-installing the HP printer driver update kit and then, after installation, the HP LaserJet 3055 magically had already been added. This makes me wonder if the printer wasn't properly "cleared" from whatever makes up the printer System Preference process during the reset.
Any other thoughts?

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8

Epson printer software update 2.11 crashing my computer!

Hi there
Thanks in advance for the help. I have been trying for a few days to download and install the latest software update called "epson printer software update 2.11"
It will not finish installing and ends up crashing my computer. I have OS 10.7.4.
Additionally my Epson Stylus NX420 will not print from my computer. I get an unknown error message. The printer does work however. I can make copies and scan. The Network diagnostics from the printer states that there are no issues.
Any ideas?

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection. Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
