HT1338 Trying to reinstall hp LaserJet P2035n fails even though Apple says software available.

When I upgraded my Mac Pro to Lion a feature of my LaserJet P2035n went away. The feature was the ability to do manual double sided printing. The feature showed on the printer page but was always greyed out. I have noticed that a recent Mac OS software update included new software for HP printers so I thought I would remove my printer and reinstall hopefully bringing back the lost feature via a new driver.
The printer setup page sees the printer and says Apple has software for it saying "Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?" to which I sayd "Download & Install". A new popup window says "Finding Software" then gives me an alert popup saying "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I researched the problem a bit and do find a directory "/Library/Printers/hp/laserjet/P2030Series" there but apparently the installation process won't use it.
BTW I'm running OS 10.7.5 and there are no software updates pending.
Further info: I had similar problems when switching to Lion on our three Macs. We have a Lexmark and Brother printer that wouldn't install under Lion. At the time we called Lexmark and Brother and they each provided a script to completely delete all their software after which I could re-install the printers. HP has not been so helpful.
I'm assuming that the install is failing either due to a permissions problem or something else blocking the installation. Has anyone on this list dealt with the problem and have a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Futher information: I moved the directory /Library/Printers/hp to Unknown and tried a re-install. It took longer to fail but did fail the same way. Looking in the directory it looks like the driver package is incomplete. To me it means that Apple does have the driver package, it just won't completely install because something is blocking it. The question seems to be, what is that something?

  • There was as error when i tried to update my itunes. I am trying to reinstall but now i get an error message saying to verify if I am able to have apple mobile service. How do i do that?

    There was as error when i tried to update my itunes. I am trying to reinstall but now i get an error message saying to verify if I am able to have apple mobile service. How do i do that?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite.

    Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac (mid 2010)

    The recent update in Yosemite (10.10.3) is causing some issues for some users.
    Try a complete network power cycle as follows:
    Power off each and every device on your network......modem, Time Capsule, computers, printers, etc......in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Power up the modem and let it run 2-3 minutes
    Then, power up the next device that is connected to the modem an let it run a full minute
    Then, continue to power up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is back up
    Check the network
    Wait for a backup to occur and report on your results

  • Hi was told that there was an update for itunes yesterday, when to update and this kept failing, was prompted to uninstall itunes and reinstall this continues to fail message coming up says Apple Mobile device failed to start insufficient  previlieges

    Hi yesterday I was prompted to a update to itunes this I tried to do without success failing a number of times. After this I was prompted to unistall itunes and re install this now continues to fail with a message error something like Apple Mobile Devices Failed to start not enough previlieges. Please help is this a Apple issue Iv'e never had any problems before.

    I had this same problem this morning. When I tried to run ITunes after the failed upgrade I got a "msvcr80.dll is missing" driver error.
    Following the instructions in step 1 of this link:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
    got the latest version of ITunes up and running for me.
    The only thing that didn't quite work like the instructions said was I couldn't get the Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. The uninstall ran and said it was successful, but it was never removed from my list of installed programs. Even w/ that, the full re-install fixed the issue.

  • I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

    I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

    If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
    Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8).  If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
    Insert the disk then power down
    HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
    Get to Disk Utility
    If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
    When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down.  If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
    Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
    If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM  DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST.  REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system.  After re-installing the OS do a software update.  Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install.  This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
    If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
    If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk  and try a re-install.
    If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

  • Why does my connection to Apple store constantly fail even though I have good internet connectivity to all non-apple apps?

    Hi.
    All of a sudden my IOS devices are having difficulty accessing all of my Apple-store controlled apps and purchases when using my home network, even though it is a really fast network and my other devices work perfectly. Spotify, YouTube and Netflix and all apps that don't rely on Apple purchases are working perfectly on my iPad and ipod, and I have fast internet speed and perfect connectivity on all my other devices.
    But when I go to Newsstand or iTunes Store for example I get the message 'can't connect to Apple server' or 'you are not connected to wifi' even though all non-Apple apps are connecting perfectly on the same device. I have tried all the usual reboot, reset solutions and nothing seems to resolve this. My software is up to date. My iPod and iPad are working perfectly when I use another network. My home network is working perfectly for everything else.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry for bad English and typos, I wrote it quickly.

  • DateField Validate Failed: Even though the date format is good.

    Hello All,
    I have certain date fields on the form, I put the Display format as "MM/DD/YYYY" and also specified the same format for Validation.
    Even though the data which gets populated pertains to the same format(MM/DD/YYYY), even then the validation pop-up appears saying that "DateField Validation Failed"
    I am not sure whether there is a known issue on the Designer or there is something I am missing.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks in advance
    Sivajee.

    Hello all,
    I happened to solve this issue. The thing is, I defined some more custom validation functions on these date fields, apart from the Validation Pattern. Once I remove those custom validation functions, this issue got resolved.
    Just thought of sharing the resolution, thinking that someone may face the same issue.

  • PayPal auto-recharge fails even though manual paym...

    Hello,
    Every month my PayPal auto-recharge fails. I go into my account, make a manual payment using PayPal, and set up auto-recharge. Then auto-recharge fails.
    I have talked to Skype customer support about this more times than I can remeber. The conversation always ends up with them explaining to me how auto-recharge works and listing the same possible reasons for failure that I get in the error email.
    Does anyone an idea why this would be?
    And please note: My PayPal account is fine. It works every time for manual recharge. Every time. It only fails for auto-recharge. Same account, same credit card. Every time.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Hi. My skype account has auto-recharged (through a linked paypal account) 13 times today (5/9/13) for 10 euros each time, even though I did not even login. I am guessing that my account has been hacked and then someone has made calls that incurred charges (see below) so that it would auto-recharge. Could you please look into the history of how this credit was used/transferred and whether any of it can be recovered? I am now down 130 euros and I did not make any of the calls, nor did I explicity authorize the payments.
    Cheers,
    Ray
    You may need to contact customer service for clarifications regarding those charges, and for further assistance;

    For the meantime, it may also be advisable to run a full antivirus scan using a fully updated antivirus software, then change your account password as a safety net (just in case your account was indeed hacked/compromised).

  • Message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close." I've tried un/reinstall. IE also fails, Chrome ok.

    One or two users have reported this problem before but no-one has found a clear solution. Two days ago all was fine. Now Firefox won't open, error message as above. Oddly it shows as running in the task manager! At the same time I found Internet Explorer is also failing to open. But Chrome is working normally!
    I have tried restore points, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Deleting all files in folder. Of course I cannot get to profile as cannot open firefox! I did not recently add any new extensions/add-ons.
    I am using Chrome now but really would like not to abandon Firefox after all these years.

    Hi iantwebb, sorry to repeat myself, but:
    There seem to be a very diverse range of problems that can cause that error, as shown in this Google search:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=application+unable+start+correctly+%280xc0000022%29
    Since IE won't start either, I suggest posting on Microsoft's support forum since they obviously are much more familiar with the clogs in the plumbing that cause this than we are here.
