HpLaserjet pro 400 M4Oln printer will not print

I have an iMac OS X 10.9.5 and a HP laserjet pro 400 M4Oln . I recently had to get a new hard drive installed and this is the first time since I have needed to print.  At first, it said the printer was offline - couldn't figure out how to fix that so I did the following: restarted printer and computer, updated software on computer (which was up to date) and downloaded the driver for the printer from the HP support site.  I also"reset the printers" - never did that before.
Still not working. I am not seeing the printer in the list of printers available in the Printers and Scanners box in the system preferences.  I click on the + sign and it will not allow me to add a printer - I mean I can't type into the field. I know my mac should just automatically recognize the printer and it always has before, but not now.  When I click on print - In the print box that comes up it says (exclamation point) No Printer Selected. UGH!
Can someone help?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

    HP Officejet Pro 8500   Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

    I had to replace both printheads about $85 a piece.  It may be more cost effective to buy a new printer.  Once I replaced the one printhead, the other one went out.  It is common and it did solve the issue.  I really like my printer and if it gets me another year or so, I think it was worth it.

  • Epson pro 3880 printer will not print photos with mountain lion

    epson stylus pro printer will  not print photos  using mountain lion ??

    The drivers that come in the box with the printer are already obsolete by the time it is placed into service. If Software update does not send you new epson drivers, check the epson web site.
    Remove [-] button and re-Add [+] button the printer after the driver update.

  • My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

    My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
    The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam. 
    Best regards,

  • Just had problem with frozen up Mac computer corrected,now HP printer will not print.  Says printer not connected.  What is wrong?  Everyday a new problem., help.

    JJust had problem corrected due to frozen imac, now HP printer will not print.  Says it is not connected.  What do I do to fix it?

    To reset the printing system:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Hold down the Option key while clicking the "-" (Remove printer) button. If no printers are currently added, hold down the Control key while clicking in the box that appears above the "+" (Add printer) button, then choose Reset printing system… from the contextual menu.
    When you've done the above you'll need to re-add the printer by clicking the + (Add printer)

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

  • Printer will not print coupons

    printer will not print coupons

    Are you both trying to print from a web-brower like IE9? If you are, I would first recommend trying a different browser, below are the links for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

    PS if this is related to ePring coupons, then that is another can of worms entirely! 

  • OS X 10.6.7 Canon All-in-One 480 Printer will not print files, only blank pages. Have to go to Utilities, Disk Utility  and Repair permissions for a temporary fix. How can I get a permanent fix?

    After upgrading to OS X 10.6.7., my Canon All-in One MP 480 printer will not print. it says it is printing, but the sheet of paper just runs through the printer and comes out blank. I finally went online to just answers.com and got a fix involving the System preferences, printer and fax. i was told to go to Applications in the HD, thenUtilities, then Disk Utilities, highlight the HD and check on Verify Disk. If it says Disk is OK, click on Repair Permissions. At first, that worked, but the next time I went to print after turning the printer off, it refused to print and just ran the sheet of paper through blank. Once that happens, there is no way to go back to printing the file that failed. I fiinally had to copy and paste the info from the file that would not print and put it in an email to myself and then print that. This is very frustrating, and I would really like a final solution for the problem.

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • Printer will not print most web pages.

    Wireless Photosmart all in one Printer will not print most web pages.  Everything elso prints consistantly but cannot determine why web pages generally do not print.  It soes not seem to matter whether I click file - print or control P  or clicking the print Icon. The print icon appears at the bottom of the screen for a couple of seconds then disappears & nothing prints. Is there a setting I am missing?

  • Printer will not print word documents or documents from internet however does a test print

    My printer will not print word documents or documents from the internet.  However it does complete a test print.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer.  I have disabled and enbled the firewall and have run the test doctor programme, which has been unable to identify any problems.  I have a HP deskjet 3050A all in one J611 series printer.

    Sorry that you are having a problem with printing word documents and internet. 
    Are you connected USB or wireless?
    You can try to download an alternative driver and check to see if that works. (Shane_R) has a great post on how to do so. 
    The deskjet 990c is usually the better one.

  • Epson 777i printer will not print

    Epson 777i Printer will not print
    I am using an imac with the Epson Stylus Color 777i printer,Gutenprint v5.2.3 and also the Epson 580 printer.
    Yesterday the 777i stopped printing.  It is in the paused mode. I have replaced the ink cartridges and have tried to
    perform troubleshooting but, the printer will not respond to any commands.  The green light is on, neither of the
    other two lights are on.
    The 580 printer is working with no problems.
    I need some assistance to get the printer back on line if at all possible.  I am not too tech smart, but can follow
    directions well.
