I have a one inch diameter flickering line down center of screen.

I have a one inch wide flickering line down the center of my screen. Can this be fixed at home? My computer is just 4 yrs old and I cannot afford to buy a new one. I love my mac.

It's very likely a problem with the LCD. You can decide if you want to fix it or not. I wouldn't suggest trying to repair it yourself as it's challenging to replace an LCD on the iMac.
Your best bet is to find a local authorized repair facility, call around and see if any provide onsite service. It probably will be at least several hundred dollars to fix.

Can't scan from brand-new HP PSC 1600 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier

Just installed this new all-in-one, and the printer and copier work perfectly. But when I try to scan, it won't do anything. Error message says to configure a "scan destination." But the menu to do so, on the desktop, won't open at all. Just stalls and stalls. Everything else seems to work fine, so no connection problems. Anybody know how to shake this menu loose?

I've been using the HP psc 1210v for about a year now, and I've always been able to print, but scanning (which I do very infrequently) has always been a problem. Typically, to use the scanner, I have to remove the printer and re-install with the latest drivers from HP's (currently 7.7.2).
So, after doing this again, I was able to scan a couple of images by using the "HP Device Manager". I just double-click on "Scan Picture", which opens the "HP Scan" application, and I can choose from there how to scan; either opening in another Application or Save to File.
I'm using 10.4.6, but I know I originally scanned some images using this printer in 10.3.9. Hopefully this will continue to work!

HP PSC 1600 All-in-one installing problem

I just purchased the above all in one from the apple store. I followed all the instructions but when I try to install the printer software by clicking the icon I keep getting the standard:
'There are no devices connected or he device which you have connected is not supported by this installer. Please connect the proper device and run the installer'
The accompanying trouble shooting booklet, mentions this problem and says to make sure the USB cable is plugged in the computer before instaling the software. I have done this but to no avail.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Yes I just installed it and before that the other download on the HP website. They still wont work. The apple store suggest I bring it the all in one printer to the store and my Imac, however I have to book an appointment for them to sort it out, maybe a week. I want to have actioned asap cos I have a lot of work to do on it!

HP PSC 1600 All-In-One error message remove and replace color cartridge

I get the remove and replace color cartridge and printer or scanner won't work. I have replaced the cartridge with new ones twice and it still happens. Just installed a new HP color cartridge and no luck. I've tried everything I can think of.
Please, does anyone have any other suggestions????
Thank you,

Hi MJKEL,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with errors on the printer pertaining the ink cartridges.
I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a documet that deals with A 'Remove and Check [color / black / photo] Cartridge' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control...
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.

HP Officejet 1600 all-in-one Scanner ONLY suddenly not recognized

Hi,
I seem to have ongoing issues with this machine. My computer randomly decides not recognize the scanner connection on my HP Officeseries 1600 All-In-One. Oddly enough, it recognizes the machine's printer and I can print with no problem. Yet in setting up the reinstalled software, it cannot find anything on the USB port. I uinstall and re-install the softwrae. The other day I used a new USB cord and it worked fine until this morning when I aborted a scan. From then on nothing I do will get the computer to recognize the scan via the USB port. I tried two other cables, one of which I know is good because I have another printer connected on that cable. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I revisited the HP website and they now have software for 10. 4, which they didn't the last time I had this problem. Downloaded that and now everything seems to be working fine....until next time, eh?

Psc 2210 all-in-one.

I have an old workhorse, a psc 2210 all-in-one. Can I easily turn the color off and on? Anybody know? Thanks.

Does the printhead take a swath and then delay 10-15 seconds before the next swath? Does the delay also happen when you make a copy? If so likely one of the cartridges has failed. Try removing the color cartridge and printing (not copying) a page. Does the page print at normal speed? If so the color cartridge is at fault and should be replaced. If not then remove the black cartridge, put the color cartridge back in and try printing a page. If the printing now completes in approximately normal time then the black cartridge was at fault and should be replaced.
If the failed cartridge is an original (not refilled or reman) HP and not empty you can check the warranty information as shown here.

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/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=306888
You can scan to Word under XP means it does have an OCR software.

HP PSC 2410 All-In-One - use in Windows 7 64-bit environment

Hi,
I have had this HP PSC 2410 All-In-One printer for some years now and it has worked pretty flawlessly in a Windows XP Pro SP3 environment for that time.
Some months ago, I purchased a new computer system and went to the Windows 7 64-bit OS (not interersted in Windows 8 at all) and whilst I have installed the printer successfully and it works, the software suite that came with the printer on the CD will not install for this environment and therefore I no longer have access to the various Maintenance Options that were available under the Windows XP Pro OS, such as the cleaning and Fax options.
Searching for something for the Windows 7 64-bit OS threw up two options - the driver update and the utilities tool wizard. After going down the driver update route, no software suite was available and in fact the update stated that the driver was installed by Windows 7 automatically. That seems to be the case as the printer works fine in print mode, scan mode (from the desktop menu) and it detects SD cards through the slots.
However, there is no software to allow me to fax or clean or do any of the other options available under the HP Suite that came on the CD.
Going down the Utility route got me downloading a file - HPPIW.EXE - that would look at my current printer installation and check with HP for any updates. After many attempts, the utility simply CANNOT find my printer even though it is installed, works properly and even windows sees it! No amount of recycling the ON/OFF button or rebooting the computer allows this utility to detect the printer at all. It is installed via USB on the Windows 7 64-bit Family PC and windows updates are always fully updated.
I am currently considering the purchase of a new HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro Plus to use as the family printer with the Windows 7 system - and move this HP PSC 2410 upstairs to connect it directly to my Windows XP Pro SP3 personal desktop and use the original CD to install it. My Canon IP4200 Pixma has just died on my personal PC upstairs.
However, until I do that, is there any of the Software Suite available that would work in the Windows 7 environment that would allow me to use the various functions such as Fax and cleaning that were available under the old XP environment and obtained via the CD? Was the Suite of software ever updated for Windows 7?
Thank you,
Lee James

Hi BAW9DV,
I hate to hear you are having issues. While there will not is not a specific software utility that will complete the tasks desired, maintenance can be completed from the front panel of the unit. Windows also has an application for faxing from the computer as well that may work with this device. Please see the information below that may enable the functions desired.
Faxing:
1. Use Windows Fax and Scan
   A. Type Windows Fax and Scan into search box
   B. Configure fax machine for use. Click Here to view Microsoft documentation for use. Note: This is a 3rd party website. HP and I are not responsible for content of this site.
   C. Select New Fax
Maintenance tasks from front panel:
Running the Clean Print Cartridges Utility Click Here
Printing setf-test page Click Here
Evaluate test page Click Here
Align the Cartridges: Press setup-Press 5, then press 2
If you the work around options are not acceptable the 8600 model would most certainly meet your needs when compared with this unit. However I encourage you to contact HP to see what upgrade options are available for this unit. It will most likely be another Photosmart model/type unit, but in many cases upgrades are offered at a discounted rate to our valued out of warranty customers. Global contact information can be accessed Here.
P.S. If you upgrade through technical support, be sure to ask about carepacks. Extended warranties may also be available at a discounted rate for upgrading.
Hope this helps!

Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer

Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer:
I had a paper jam and cleared the paper from the printer. Now every time I turn the printer "on" it picks up the top piece of paper from the tray and runs it about ½ to ¾ of the way thru the paper feed, stops, and then displays message "paper jam clear paper and then press OK". When I do that it simply picks up the next piece of paper off the tray and does the message again. If I push the OK button on the printer it will simply finish the ejection and then pick up the next paper from the tray, and do the same thing. I have examined the interior (and exterior) of the printer for paper scraps and any other obvious sign of trouble (dirty drive wheels, missing rollers, broken springs, etc...) and can not see anything unusual. I can not print a test print because of the paper jam message. I am running Windows XP and the printer has been working fine for months (until this recent jam). I did all the steps from the HP fix it site including clean rollers, plug and unplugged, carriage travel OK and more. Don't know what to do now........Any help would be great!!!! Thank you!

HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install. I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer. Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS? My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

Hello,
Here is a link to a support document on hp.com on how to install on OS X Mavericks.

Scanning in win 8.1 for HP psc 2355 all-in-one

I can't get my HP psc 2355v all-in-one to scan. The printer tells me to install HP software for this feature when I try to start scan from the printer. I have installed the drivers multiple times and cannot find a way to execute the scan from my computer.

Welcome to the HP Community @bleubeck ,
I read about how you are having troubles with scanning to your Windows 8.1 system from your PSC 2355 printer, and I wanted to reach out. There are no drivers or software available to install with this specific printer model on Windows 8.1, as the model is older and OS is newer. I would think that your best bet would be to try running the Print and Scan Doctor to see if the diagnostic tool can detect the printer and scan. If this does not work, you can also try scanning from Microsoft Paint as a work around option.
If all else fails, you can contact HP directly and discuss your printer options to upgrade to a new printer compatible with Windows 8.1.

HP PSC 1410 All in One HANG INDEFINITELY with Remote Downlevel Document

Hi, after a few days of setting up my PSC 1410 All In One Printer, which is hooked up to a Compaq Presario V3000 running on Windows XP SP3 with AMD Turion 64x2 processor; and shared print to a Sony Vaio VGN FW33G, and a Mac Pro running on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6
Just yesterday, my printer was jammed with a "Remote Downlevel Document" which I can't remove after using these methods I've researched:
1. "Right Click and Cancel" x [indefinite] times
2. "Right Click and Refresh" x [indefinite] times
3. "Restart" x [indefinite] times
4. "Restart" with printer hooked on/off to the USB x [indefinite] times + [indefinite] combinations of whichever comes first
5. "Unhook USB and Click Start>Run "net stop spooler" and Rehook USB and Click Start>Run "net start spooler" x [indefinite] times
6. Did virus scan for suspicious virus using Anti Vir
7. And in between, combinations of the above x [indefinite] times
8. Search on the internet which obviously there's no real solution
Please help.
Regards,
Bobby

Am (attempting) to print direct from my MacBook - admittedly I did not install any printer drivers during the Leopard (clean) install and am a bit confused as to whether I'm now using the right one, but from what I can gather from the threads like this now littering this forum it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I had infact presumed my problem was just that - that I hadn't the right driver.
Like I hinted at previous; I can reconnect the HP to my old G4 running Tiger and print with no trouble whatsoever.
Trying to print from Leopard brings up the print dialog, and subsequent utility as it should but then nothing - as if the MacBook's not talking with the HP (though it happily recognises it as being there and what model it is etc.).
I have not yet attempted to print over the network, mainly because I couldn't succeed as is. Or tried to scan as it happens (I hardly ever use the built in scanner as I have a better one and the PSC is my backup - I scan a lot in my job).
