HP PSC 1350 All-In-One won't install on Macbook Pro, PLEASE HELP!! :(

Hi all
I know this has been covered before, but I've done SO many Google searches I just can't think of any other keyword combinations so I'm hoping someone can advise.
I'm running the latest version of OS X, and when I first plugged in the printer via USB, it auto-detected, searched for and installed drivers, after which the printer showed up under Print & Fax, but as a 1300 and not a 1350.
When I proceeded to print from MS Word, the job showed up in the print queue, but it didn't print, and when I opened up the print queue it said the printer was idle - but it WASN'T!
So I proceeded to 'reset the printing system.' After this, I can't even add the printer! Print & Fax refuses to even REGISTER that the printer is connected...
I'm about to pull my hair out - I've banged my head against the wall for SO long trying to make this work, first through a network with my Windows XP PC, and now via a direct connection via USB after rearranging my WHOLE office... If someone could advise I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Eye.

I had that exact model MFD. You should know two things:
1 it is no longer fully supported. It reports as a 1300 and often doesn't work very well. You can print, after a fashion, using HP's official drivers, but you will get much better results (and drivers which actually see the **** MFD!) from drivers available at the HPIJS Project. <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpij s%23Printers>. The drivers there are mostly developed by HP employees but are NOT offered on HP's site and are NOT given to Apple by HP to be included in printer driver updates. You guess as to why this is, given that they behave much better than HP's official drivers and have since Tiger, is as good as mine. Note that installing the HPIJS drivers turns your MFD into a PostScript (clone) device! Your output is noticeably superior to that produced by the official drivers, and your level of control over that output is increased. (It's also slower, and the PSC1350 was never fast...)
2 while you can print from the PSC1350, you cannot scan. Not under either Leopard or Snow Leopard. VueScan may support the PSC1350 now, I don't know, I bailed a long time ago. I do know that the HP scan software breaks, hard, under Leopard and will not install in Snow Leopard. Note that HP has (finally!) released print drivers for the PSC1350 so that you can print from Leopard and Snow Leopard; when Leopard came out, the only way to print using that device was was to use the HPIJS drivers... and for the first 2-3 months after Leopard arrived, the version of GhostScript that the HPIJS drivers used was broken on Leopard, so it wasn't possible to print at all. My PSC1350 was a paperweight. When I contacted HP's tech support they said in so many words that the MFD was no longer supported either under Leopard or Vista and that I should either use older OSes or get a new printer. I did. I got a Brother. Brother USA Sales should send HP Tech Support flowers.
HP's software for this device is profoundly broken.

  • Hp psc 1350 all-in-one /wi fi enabling

    I have an hp psc 1350 all-in- one printer. My desktop is a dinosaur and won't handle broadband internet. I now use an Apple iPad tablet on wi fi and don't want to purchase another printer. Is there a way to make my printer work on wi fi with my tablet through my router without a desktop computer. I tried hooking it up per instructions off of eHow but it my tablet can 't find it. Do I need a Driver or something else to make it work or is it even possible. Thanks for any help anyone can give me . Learnin.

    Hi,
    You will need an AirPrint enabled printer to print directly from an iPad or a networked printer to print from the HP ePrint mobile app.
    I afraid the PSC 1350 is a USB only printer, it doesn't support printing from a mobile device as iPad.
    You may find a list of supported printers for iOS devices in the following document:

  • Hp psc 1350 all-in-one driver download issues

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba laptop and an hp psc 1350 all-in-one printer.  Both were working well until Sunday.  Now the printer will not work. 
    The on light of the printer is constantly on when attached to power, I can press the on button so it doesn't appear to be broken, but the light will not turn off. 
    When I remove the power cord the lights cycle through the printer panel (and the on button light does go off momentarily) then the on light stays on and will not turn off. 
    I have been unable to download the latest driver update from Windows Update or any websites automatically or manually  - TOSHIBA USB DVB-T/Analog Hybrid Tuner (391 KB).  The download always fails. I also tried the FixIt facility from Microsoft, but it tells me there are no issues.
    Does this mean the driver is the issue, or do I have to purchase a new printer? 
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Gerri_31,
    I understand you aren't able to shut down the printer with the power button.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    I would do a power reset to see if that will resolve the issue. With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer, hold the power button for 10 seconds to drain any power, if the printer has external power module with a detachable power cord disconnect it for 15 seconds and then reconnect it. Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    I have provided a document for power issues.
    The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond.
    If these steps don't resolve the issue I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for
    further assistance to see what other options are available for you or to find out about
    the trade in and trade up program.
    Contact HP Worldwide.
    Hope this helps.

  • OCR Software for HP PSC 1350 All-in-one

    My mother owns a HP PSC 1350 All-in-one.  She has Windows 7 OS.  She has had it for a while and never needed to scan and type, but she does now for work. 
    Does anyone know if the HP PSC 1350 All-in-one came with OCR Software on the disk, or if it is downloadable?
    If not are there any OCR freeware programs that won't contaminate her computer with ad & mal ware?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    No more support from the Vista ages or at least 7 years ago:
       http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor​y?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=306888
    You can scan to Word under XP means it does have an OCR software.

  • Installing HP PSC 1350 all-in-one printer/scanner

    In the past, I could usually solve the "Offline" or "Not Connected" problems by unplugging my printer for a few minutes, but that no longer works. So, I decided to buy another one. However, just before clicking on the BUY button on Amazon, I decided to try to fix the problem one more time. Part of the "fix" was deleting my printer from the computer and then reinstalling it. This is where I'm now stuck. I deleted it, but I can't reinstall it. I get to the ADD window, but everything is grayed out. So, how do I install my printer? I might add that the HP instructions that I was following (OSX v. 10.9 Mavericks- Installing and using the printer on a Mac) are what got me this far.

    Have you installed the v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver yet >>  Software & driver downloads HP PSC 1350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
    After you download the driver, open System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Print
    Delete the current printer by selecting it then click -  (minus)
    Then click + to add the printer back in.
    That should load the driver for you.

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI.

  • PSC 1350 all-in-one not completing print jobs wirelessly with windows 7 64 bit

    I have a acer 5542 running windows 7 (64bit), connected wirelessly to an Orange Livebox hub, to which my HP PSC 1350 printer is connected (via USB cable) therefore using the Livebox as a USB printer server. This configuration has worked very well for my 2 XP laptops for the past year or two. I set up the printer on the windows 7 laptop by connecting it directly, via the USB cable, letting windows install it, and download the latest drivers, (although HP say they have no specific 64bit drivers for this printer, but the drivers they have, and that windows downloaded, work fine!) then i changed the port to the livebox ip address.
    All this worked fine (as on the xp machines), I printed out a spreadsheet, which worked fine untill it approached the end of the page, then just stopped. I troubleshot the printer which didnt return any sprcifics, Just that the print job had failed, and that it had rectified the problem, then the printer starts reprinting the same document, to the same point, (about 95% complete) and again stalls, and so the cycle continues. I have tried it with various different documents and photos, to the same ends. But if i connect the laptop directly to the printer, via USB, it completes the jobs fine
    I have posted on microsoft answers forums, but the one answer i have recieved (re installing everything) did not solve the problem. Although i am not too savvy on computers, i kind of get the feeling it is a spooling issue. (not processing or holding onto the last part of a print file! But its only a feeling!)
    any help would be very much appreciated

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • What is the password for hp psc 1350 all in one printer. want to connect to ipad.

    i have aan all in one printer psc 1350. i want to connect it to ipad in this manner. 
    IPAD to COMPUTER via WIFI
    COMPUTER to PRINTER via USB cable
    so when i try to connect ipad to printer, it requires some username and password. i dont know what to type in there.  
    i am running on a win 7 32 bit

    Sorry, but this will not work.  Your printer has to be directly on you network, not tethered to a computer that is on the network.
    Since your printer is USB only (not a network-able printer), your only solution is to get a new wireless printer.  Get one that supports AirPrint if you want to print from your iPad.

    Hi @glgaucher 
    I am sorry to hear that this has been a frustrating experience for you. I would like to help you obtain the full feature software and driver for your PSC 1350. Please use the following link to download and install the software; gc_w01_ENU_NB.exe.
    This download includes the HP Photosmart Software Suite (enhanced imaging features and product functionality) and Driver. If you only want the print driver (without the Photosmart Software Suite), it is available as a separate download named "HP Officejet and PSC Basic Software and Driver".

  • FRUSTRATED - windows 7 64 bit driver HP 6500 709e all in one won't install on 2 computers

    Hi,
    My son and I both got new laptops for Christmas.  I have had nothing but problems installing our wireless printer with its full features.  My son's computer is a Dell, mine is a Toshiba.  From what I could find both needed the same driver but both have had MAJOR issues getting the install to complete and installing the device. Somehow I was able to get it installed on my Toshiba but the "fix" I used didn't work on the Dell.  PLEASE HELP! Thanks
    Carol
    Sorry I realized I did add much information.  The printer is the 6500 all in one deskjet 709e.  I have tried installing the 64 bit, windows 7...i also downloaded the update. Eventually it worked for my Toshiba laptop but still can't get it to install on my son's dell.
    After numerous tries,
    I downloaded the driver for windows 7, 64 bit driver and then downloaded the update.  The driver/software wouldn't install the device until I did the update (for my Toshiba) but this is not working for the Dell.  Also I did download the troubleshooter and it was useless! 

    Welcome to the HP Forums Zoney,
    I read your post which indicates that you are getting a "MICROSOFT VISUAL C ++RUNTIME LIBRARY" error, when trying to install the printer software. I can help you with this.
    Download and install this Patch> Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error.
    Uninstall the printer software.
    Before installing the printer software again, setup the Admin rights on the computer.
    Run Command Prompt as Administrator. Go to the start menu, type “CMD” in the search bar. Now, you should see a shortcut for CMD above. Right click on it, and click “run as administrator”. If it asks you for administrative permission, please allow permission. In your Command Prompt window (as administrator), type the following and hit Enter: net user administrator /active:yes
    You should see a message saying "the command completed successfully". After troubleshooting is done, you can disable this account by typing the following command into Command Prompt (as administrator): net user administrator /active:no.
    Restart the computer, and utilize the new account that is available, which should be named "Administrator".
    Here are some more steps you can try if you are still getting the Runtime error.
    But it is looking more like a Operating System issue.
    Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, 2008 and 2005 Redistributable Packages.
    You will find the download links to these packages below:
    2005 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=26347
    2008 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.as​​px?id=5582
    2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.as​​px?id=14632
    Try the installation again please.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a nice day!

  • HP All in One mx8500 stopped working with MacBook Pro

    So I have a MacBook Pro and a small Sony Vaio (that I seldom use) and both were configured to the HP when I brought it home.  I have used it almost exclusively as a wiresless with good results until one day it stopped working with the MacBook Pro.  MacBook is operating on Snow Leopard and is routinely updated.  The HP simply does not recognize the MacBook any longer-won't print from it nor won't scan to it.  It doesn't give an error message, it just pauses and when I tell it to resume, it pauses again.  I have tried using it with the wire to connect the two and that doesn't work either.  All this time, if I switch to the Sony, it performs perfectly.  Any hints???

    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
