  • HP Wireless G Print Server not detected during installati​on.

    I follow the instructions, insert install disk, click install, agree to all the terms, then the software searches for wireless devices, then it prompts me to connect the print server to the computer by connecting the install usb cable provided and then connect the power. I do this and software does not recognize the print server, so I can't click next. What do I need to do?

  • Bluetooth device is not detected during installation of bluetooth driver

    Hi , Initialy bluetooth was working properly, Few day ago I saw that there was no bluetooth icon in system trayas well as in list device manager. So I uninstalled the driver and try to install. But during installation it showthat bluetooth device in not detected and it exit. 

    Downloads the Windows 7 Hotkey Features. This will enable the wireless console with Fn+F5. Then you can enable bluetooth from there. Windows's built-in bluetooth drivers should work fine, maybe even with an update from WU if you're lucky.

    Edit: Don't forget to download the System Interface Driver too.

  • Hard Drive not detected during installation

    Hello everyone,
    I am brand new to this Mac Forum, and I am hoping you can assist a colleague of mine who has a Hardware issue with his Mac.
    It is a Power Mac G4 and one day he started having issues booting into the MacOS, but after several re-boots it would be okay, and then it didn't want to know at all, so he asked me to take a look at it.
    My knowledge of Mac's is fairly basic, but I am familiarish with the Hardware, so I tried installing the Drive on another I.D.E. Cable and channel, re-seated the Memory, but it made no difference. So I assumed it was a dead Hard Drive?
    However, he purchased a 120Gb WD (previous one being an 80Gb I.B.M.Deskstar), and I went around to his office to install it - same problem?!
    Basically the installation gets as far as agreeing to the Licence Agreement, then we get the dialogue box where you select the destination for the Hard Drive, but there's nothing in there.
    My guess is a faulty Motherboard, yet the CD Drive is still detected, obviously, for the boot to take place from the installation disk!?
    Is there any BIOS I can access to make sure the Mac is detecting the Hard Drive properly?
    Please help if you can, it would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Nathan.

    Hello again,
    Thanks very much for your replies.
    My colleague would be very reluctant to purchase a Controller Card for his Mac, particularly whilst I still have strong suspicious about the Motherboard.
    I did follow the link in Rodney Cullings reply, but that isn't quite the issue.
    It is a brand new Hard Drive, purchased from Jigsaw, and therefore I would assume unformattted; however we cannot use the Disk Utility to format it because there is no Hard Drive detected in the "Select a destination drive" in the first place!
    Hence my question about the B.I.O.S., because in a situation like this on a P.C., the first thing I'd do (if Windows hadn't detected the Hard Drive) is check the B.I.O.S., because if it isn't in there, it's either Jumpers - which I've already tried - or a dead Hard Drive.
    I have installed the newer drive in a P.C., and the B.I.O.S. did actually detect it.
    So, any other ideas please people?
    Many thanks for those supplied so far.
    Nathan.
    P.S. Am I posting this to the correct Forum?

  • What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

    Hello!!
    What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
    I found two things as follows.
    1. MAC support
    2. USB dongle
    Is there anything else?

    Now I’m clear!!
    But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
    They say for each as follows.
    HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
    HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
    And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
    The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
    The wrong description is “NOTE:  You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
    You can erase this line!!

  • HP 2101nw Wireless G Print Server & Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6)

    Hi everyone,
    Before I start, I must point out that I have a Win 7 laptop connected to the HP Photosmart C5280 with the HP 2101nw Wireless G Print Server perfectly.
    Appears that Snow Leopard is not compatible with ths device. The Hp Connection Manager 'sees' the printer, but I am not able to connect to it.
    The drivers on the CD and online mention that it will work woth 10.4 and 10.5, but no mention of 10.6 (I am on 10.6.5). However, installing it from the .dmg file on the drivers page, I get The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/HPVUSBFamily.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.
    Just wondering if anyone from HP can confirm this is a driver being worked on, or is this device 'obsolete'?
    Regards,
    Stephen

    Same problem here. New imac with Snow Leopard (10.6.6). Previously working with 10.5 on MacBook Pro.
    As for 'Shogan' above - The Hp Connection Manager 'sees' the printer, but I am not able to connect to it.
    I reinstalled software/drivers from the .dmg file on the HP support page, I get The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/HPVUSBFamily.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.
    I can select the printer from the Connection manager list but the printer remains 'offline' and the 'Status: Idle'
    Come on customer support.....give these customers some....well, support.

  • Hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu.

    hard disk not detected during booting or also it does not show in boot menu please tell

    you may have a failed hard drive or bad cables, i would check first to see if the hard drive is powering on. if it doesn't try a different power connection, and if it still doesn't start spinning i would say that it is bad and get a new hard drive. If
    it does start spinning and just isn't being recognized, try a different sata port if you have the option or a different sata cable all together.

  • DPR 1260 Wireless Print Server not recognized on Macbook Pro

    Please help. I am a first time Mac user. I have a D-link wireless print server that is connected to a HP Office Jet 6200 all in one. For some reason I cannot set up the wireless print server. A couple questions: I enter the IP address when I set up a new printer. Still nothing. Do I need to select IP printing when setting up a new printer? Is D-link wireless printing supported by Leopard? When I plug in direct via USB - Mac prints no problem. Tech support really couldn't help - neither could D-link. Does anyone know step by step how to set up? Explain it to me like I'm 4 years old. Thanks.

    You have two issues going at once.
    Driver - There are two kinds of print driver on OS X (not like Windows) - Carbon and CUPS. CUPS drivers are required to use the standard network print protocols provided in OS X by the CUPS system - IP printing and Windows printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for non-postscript printers. They provide Carbon drivers where they have limited the driver to USB only. To get a CUPS driver for your model, install the 3 part hpijs:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    Print & Fax prefs setup -
    I call your attention to page 19 of the print server manual. Dlink simply has "no clue" about OS X. The easiest comm protocol for you is HP Jetdirect, which equals TCP/IP raw port 9100. That is for USB port 1 -- for the other USB ports you will need to use advanced setup in Print & Fax.
    So, plug the printer into USB port 1 and set up using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol, selecting your new hpijs driver.
    Good luck.

  • HP Officejet 8600 Cannot install software because printer is not detected on the wireless network

    Hello,
    recently I faced an issue with my new HP Officejet N911a: when trying to install software & drivers, I get an error "printer is not found on the network". Here is my setup and what I tried already:
    - printer is connected to home wireless network (there is solid blue light on the printer etc). It has an IP address 192.168.x.x
    - Windows 7 (64-bit) Lenovo laptop is connected to the same wireless network
    - I don't have any MAC filtering
    - I broadcast my SSID and have WPA-PSK
    - I have default Windows 7 firewall
    I was installing the latest drivers from HP website, but when it comes to installation, software never "sees" my printer on the network. I'm able to ping it and access from Windows explorer (by typing printer's IP address \\192.168.x.x).
    I can install the printer via "Add printer", and wireless printing works fine, but in this case I'm unable to scan (error message is "Scanner communication cannot be established"). So I assume, that for scanning, I definitely need HP software.
    If I connect the printer via USB to my laptop, software installs and I can scan without any issue. However, I would like printer to work wirelessly...
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I don't have a similar printer to check but for few models the default scan to computer is Disabled, please don't ask me why. And we, users, have to enable this by:
      Double click printer icon on desktop,
      Click Manage Scan to Computer,
      Click Enable
    You may want to tick the last square too.
    New software update may remove this option, please use HP Scan from All Programs > HP > HP [your printer] > HP Scan
    Hope this helps.

  • Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

    Hi everyone,
    I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
    I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
    So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
    1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
    2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
    3. Update my software
    When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
    (Here is the step by step that I followed:
    The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
    If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
    Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
    Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
    However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

  • HT3669 iEPP, Easy Photo Print, App not 'detecting' my Canon MX870 printer/scanner.

    Downloaded the iPod Touch iEPP Airprint app for printing wirelessly to my approved, Canon MX870 printer/scanner and the app can't detect it.
    Thanks

    I have been having the same issue with the Canon iEPP app not detecting the printer using an iPhone 4S, 5S and iPad Air.  I was on the phone with Canon IT support and the devices and apps can communicate with the printer when I type in the printer IP address in the Safari browser.
    I have Comcast Xfinity for interner and have a Linksys Wireless-G router.
    I tried about 5 different free app which support my Canon MX870 printer and none can detect the printer.
    Any suggestions?

  • Wireless router/Print Server w/ Ethernet Xbox 360

    Hey yall,
    So I'm on day 2 of my new life as a "Mac guy". Threw down on a G5 and am pretty stoked. Still stock - I'm going to get another GB of RAM and AppleCare soon - and I'm also looking to get everything running wirelessly, including my HP PSC 1510 printer. I currently have Qwest DSL (1.5MB down), which I have configured wirelessly but don't have the router to print wirelessly. I have a 1-bdrm cabin w/ a loft, so I'd like to have the router/printer upstairs and just this pimp machine downstairs for all to see. I also have a Xbox 360 upstairs that I'd like to be able to connect via Ethernet to the router. The Airport Extreme BS would work - but it's 2 bills. Would this US Robotics Router w/ Print Server work?
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=overview&sku=A0474 840&c=us&l=en&cs=19
    I'd want to be able to return my rented router to Qwest - would this be one-stop shopping for me? Run internet/print service to the G5 downstairs and hardwire in my 360 upstairs? If so, that would be sweet. Also, the router says any USB printer would work - is that true? The HP PSC 1510 ain't exactly high-end - but I've also not opened it yet and would return it to get something that would work. Thanks a lot for any help, this fruity computer is pretty sweet!!

    iMac G5 2.1 GHz w/ iSight    

    Hello,
    Congratulations on your new Mac! My setup is similar to your own. I have my computer (iMac G5) hooked up wirelessly and I provide internet to my PS2 from the LAN hookup on the router.
    I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer to the usefulness of the US Robotics router but, I can give you my experience with an Airport Express Base Station. I was fortunate enough to get one as a gift for Christmas and have been up and running ever since. ^^
    First and foremost the Airport Express Base Station or AEX is Apple made and quite frankly works the best with your computer. You can plug your printer into it and also share your internet with your XBox 360 through the Ethernet port.
    Though not as expensive as the Airport Extreme Base Station it is still about twice as expensive as the US Robotics one you labeled in your post. That is my setup in a nutshell except I don't have the XBox 360. ;p (jealous)
    I just wanted to provide you a tested and tried solution that works. Good luck and wish you the best with your new setup. I know you are going to enjoy it and I agree about showing off your iMac, they are sweet looking.
    Best Regards,

  • Fingerprint Reader Not Detected during startup on Windows 7

    Dear Community Users/Tech Guru,
    I am hoping somebody could shed light into a weired issue I am facing with this *stupid* Microsoft OS. I purchased a T400 last year and brought a x64 bit Windows 7 three months ago and have it setup for clean installation. I followed the procedure published in lenovo.
    I had the security setup of my notebook to use pre-desktop authentication and single sign-on. I had everything setup and running.
    However, after a few weeks I began to noticed that upon power up and giving a fingerprint swipe on the bios authentication, it would halt on the windows startup page (where we would normally login). It turns out that the fingerprint device is not detected! Something is not workin properly during the startup of bill gates Microsoft Windows 7! I would try a reboot on the system and it will load properly afterwards.
    But I find it stupid that Windows doesn't detect my fingerprint device on startup! This happens when it's a cold boot using a battery (at least 70% of the time it turns out that way). I disabled  the single sign-on but retained the desktop authentication (means I have to swipe twice). But this f*ck OS is still not detecting it during cold start.
    Anyone... please advice?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I attempted to reset the policy settings of CSS but then the pop up screen just got stuck:
    - I did a reboot and reset the fingerprint data and password (after exporting the 
      settings),
    - uninstalled the fingerprint reader and CSS
    - uninstalled the CSS. I had encountered some issues while uninstalling it
      Windows is reporting that the installation log file could not be found. I manually
      downloaded the driver from the site and used the installer to remove it from my PC
    - Reinstalled both CSS and Fingerprint driver
    - Import all my security settings (password and fingerprint)
    - Tested CSS and used fingerprint as default login method in battery mode
    - Enabled Single SignIn method in CSS and BIOS
    So far so good, the reinstallation fixed the issue. I did recall that there was a windows update before this mayhem on the fingerprint reader started.

  • J2EE server does not start during installation

    Hi,
    I am installing WebAS JAVA 640 (NW04 SR1) on a Windows 2003/MSSQL server. I am using JAVA SDK 1.4.2_9. The installation stops at step 24/25 whereby the installer waits for the J2EE engine to start. After making 3 attempts to start the J2EE server, the installation process just hangs and I have to Cancel the installation.
    BTW, I am specifying a heap size of 1024 MB and using the "Database Only" option as UME data store during installation.
    Having checked the trace and log files, it seems the UME service fails to start, throws an exception and the message "the start of a core service failed, Web AS will not start".
    According to the information available  <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/20/361941edd5ef23e10000000a155106/content.htm">here</a>, I have checked the settings and it seems that option 2, <b>"User or group data is missing"</b> is causing the problem since database content of UME is missing. I have tried selecting entries from table UME_STRINGS but this table is empty.
    Now, the same link says that I should login to UME web application as SAP* but the problem is that without the J2EE engine starting up, I cannot login and create missing users/groups.
    Any ideas???
    Regards
    Shehryar

    Thanks to all who replied. I have actually tried all options suggested like waiting for retries until the box appears, trying to manually start the server, and reducing heap size. None worked for me. For your information, I have a 2.4 GHz machine with 4GB RAM so I think heap size should not be an issue. I checked SAP Note regarding heap size issues in Win 2003 but that does not seem to apply in my case since my system does not behave abnormally with JVM settings.
    Thanks again and I'll give it another shot.
    Regards
    Shehryar
