HP printer stopped printing wirelessly, available driver from apple will not download. Now What? No printer at all!

HP 6500A Plus wireless printer quit printing wirelessly but still printed wired. The printer connects to the wireless router (linksys EA6100),  I am running OS X Lion. Decided to see if needed updated software for printer. Went to HP website and downloaded full version driver for this printer/fax/scanner. I set up the printer for wireless printing, it connected to wireless network, but the macbook does not find the printer on the network. Discovered that if I setup wireless connection again from printer touchscreen and re-added printer to the printer list on my macbook pro, then I could print one document. To print again I had to go through that process again. Have downloaded and installed this driver several times now over course of a week.
Today I decided to download just printer driver. Went to HP website, driver is available and HP actually has you use the apple software update to pull this one. Apple Software Update says software is available for this printer, I also confirmed that on a list of available software on apple website, but while it is downloading it stops and gives me a message that software is not available. Now I can not even print wired. I have tried process several times. What do I do now?  I have a scanner and fax, but no printer!!

I am sorry for the delay in answering.  TWC email sometimes takes several days to get to me.
I am embarrassed to say that I did not read closely the message that was provided when I clicked on Control Clicked / Open.  I did go back and continue the process and thought I had installed the update.  The end message stated that the installation was successful, but I could not find the scanner anywhere, even with intense searching.  I have reinstalled it twice again with no scanner installed.  I did find files in the Saved Application State but they take only a few KBs of space and the software should have taken 22.4 MBs.
I have messages now posted in two different HP Communities and will continue to try that route to help, but right now it looks dismal.  If you have any more explanations or advice I would love hearing from you.  Could the Trovi component cause this problem?  I thought I was rid of it but I don't really know what to look for other than not having it take over my home page - which it has not done recently.
I really appreciate your help, and I take your advice to heart about not using the older CD and I will not attempt to revert to Snow Leopard.  I am really afraid it would mess up iPhoto  and that would be devastating.

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

  • Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

    My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

    I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
    Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
    Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • Trying to connect my mac pro to a officejet 7500A printer having troubles, mac will not download it. what do i need to do?

    What do I need to do to set up my officejet 7500A printer to my mac pro?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page): 
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • PDF created from AutoCAD will not print

    This one has me baffled.
    I'm working with AutoCAD 2009 and Adobe Acrobat 8.  I printed 3 layouts from AutoCAD to Acrobat as a C-size sheet.  I usually merge them into one multi-page file using Acrobat.  All 3 .PDFs were created with no errors and can be viewed on the screen.
    I went to print this 3 page file to an HP DesignJet 500.  The first 2 pages printed fine, but page 3 would not print.
    So I went to the original individual file for the missing page, opened it in Acrobat - it also would not print to the HP 500.  BUT - it WOULD print to my HP 2800 on an A-size (letter) sheet.
    All three pages came from the same AutoCAD file.  All 3 .PDFs were created using the same settings.  Individually, only the first 2 will print to the HP 500.
    I tired recreating the third file with a different file name.  Looks fine on the screen, yet when I try to print it, it does not get to the printer driver.
    Yes, I have re-booted my system.  No difference.  Rebooted again and recreated the document - no change.
    I figure there has to be some quirky character or entity in my AutoCAD layout that is tripping up the printer driver for the HP 500.  This is my first encounter with this kind of problem.  And yes, I do have the latest HP 500 driver installed and have created and printed 100s of AutoCAD drawings in this manner.
    BTW, I'm running WIndows XP Pro.

    Michael,
    I have about 19GB of free space on drive C: - your tip about "print as image" did permit the file to print to the HP 500.  This DesignJet is not a PS or PCL printer.
    I've never encountered this kind of problem before.  This particular AutoCAD layout has a fair amount (but not a lot) of text that would no doubt be converted to a raster image (as it is not a system font) when processed by Acrobat during .PDF creation.
    My drive D: has much more free space - is there a way of directing the printer driver to store its output to that drive?
    Thanks for the tip - at least I know what to do the next time I'm up against the clock trying to get the work out.

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
    Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.
    Thank you for your possible responses.

    Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
    Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.
