I can't add a Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 printer.

Trying to add hp psc 1200 printer, says software not currently available from the Software Update server. Any ideas please?

I've done all this and more. I get the error "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
In my case, I was just using the printer this morning, but it got a jam, so I disconnected it and deleted the printer from the printer list. So, even before I installed the drivers you pointed to, I'd oviously had a driver on my system that worked.
BUT now it won't find it at all.
I rue the fact that I deleted the printer from the printer list, but this really makes no sense to me.
Any new suggestions would be wonderful!
Thanks.

Failed updates every night for Hewlett Packard Imaging NULL print HP Photosmart 6520 series

since I got my photosmart 6520 printer 12/02/2012 every night it tries to update Hewlett Packard Imaging NULL print HP photosmart 6520 series ....and it fails every time. I have a HP P 7 1010 desktop and ever since I got new printer I have an exclaimation point on my computer and it says to troubleshoot and when you do it says it is doesn't have drivers and it shows NOT FIXED. When you log off at night it tries to update the NULL print again and it fails every time. I have talked to your service people numerous times for over an hour and they can not fix the problem. PLEASE HELP
This question was solved.

I did some looking into the problem for another user, and it looks like this is just a ghost update. Basically a "ghost update" is an update that was for the device, but the device has more recent drivers which causes the update to keep failing. The only thing you can do is hide the update, or ignore it. Windows will keep trying to push it, but your printer doesn't need it. If it did need the update, it would install right. You can find the thread where I helped the other user linked below. Hope this helps.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums! I see you're having issues with an update. I would like to help! I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Once the Doctor has been run, re-run the update. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can't add a Canon i860 as a printer

I’ve got a contractor working with an employee of mine doing a job out of town for a few days. She’s got 10.4.x, not sure exactly which version. We’re running a Canon i860 inkjet off an airport extreme. She downloaded and installed the driver for this printer off the Canon website, goes to print/fax preferences, can see the printer, but when she selects the printer the ‘print using’ field remains greyed out and the add button remains greyed out so she can’t add the printer. We then tried having her attempt to connect via USB, same thing.
Any ideas? Not sure where to go from here.

Not sure, but look at these links.

Can't add my HP PSC 1210 Printer

Hi,
When I try to add my printer it says "Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." But both Apple and HP say that the HP PSC 1210 are supported. I've tried intalling some HP driver package for Mountain Lion but it still gives the same problem. I need my printer connected soon. Cheers.

I haven't even added it yet, so I can't delete it. It won't let me add it. When I try to add it, it says it has to find and install the software, so I click ok, and it comes up with a thing saying that it's "finding the software" but then it pops up with the above error message. I tried installing the HP driver package that was recommended in another discussion, but it still won't add it.
To be honest, I think I'd rather go and get the drivers myself because then I'd be able to get the printer drivers. Letting apple control the whole process hasn't been particularily helpful to me in the past. I've had several printers that it "couldn't find the driver" for, but were listed as supported. Most frustrating.

Can'd add Brother hl-2070N printer

I can't add my new Brother HL-2070N printer. It is plugged in and functional (test page prints fine when I press the button on the printer itself). I connected it to the USB port on my macbook pro with a working printer cable. I opened the printers utility, clicked "+", gave it a name, left the location unchanged (automatically selected as my local machine), selected "Brother HL-2070N series CUPS 1.1" from the "model" drop-down menu, and press "add." Then nothing. Nothing happens. I press "add" and I get no dialog box, no new printer, nothing.
I then downloaded the drivers manually from brother's website and tried it again, but still nothing. I've restarted several times, still nothing. Help!

Yes, I tried that. I believe there may be some sort of problem with the apple version of the driver for this printer. I have XP installed on my machine via bootcamp, and I am able to install drivers for and successfully print to the same printer using the same cable and same USB port in Windows. But I can't add the printer from OS X. Please help!

Printing on HP PSC 1200 not working through WIN XP

Hi! I have a windows PC which I have connected to an HP PSC 1200 printer. My other laptops can connect perfectly to the printer and print. I set up my Mac according to the instructions but I cannot print. In windows the que name is "Remote Downlevel Print" and it is immediately giving an error. I called apple care because my exact model wasn't there so they gave me a printer which used its same driver. I can print when I connect the printer to my USB on my MacBook Pro but it does not work through Windows. If anyone could provide me with some help that would be great. Thanks.

I have a similar problem-Canon Pixma ip4000 wired to Dell desktop running Win 98 2nd ed.---- Desktop is wired to Netgear. --- I can access internet with mac book pro but not print-I could print wirelessly with Toshiba laptop running Win xp-called apple help and spent 2 hours trying to fix but we both gave up-I wonder if I could run a cable from the printer to the netgear---unfortunately no USB interface on the netgear router --so I would have to find a cable that is either USB or parallel on one side and eithernet on the other-does anyone know if this world work? If not I could buy a printer router that just takes care of the printer wirelessly-anyone know of a good one?

Can't open the applications for Hewlett Packard since upgrading my operation system

HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One operating in OS 10.8.3.
I recently upgraded to OS10.8.3 and since doing so, I am getting this message, "You can't open the application HP Scan Pro becasue PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I tried to download a new driver and that didn't seem to work. What do I need to do?

Hi,
The HP Scan Pro is an older software verison, intended for Leopard (10.5) or older OS versions.
Unplug the printer if it is connected via USB and uninstall any incompatible software by following the HP Uninstaller, located under Applications > Hewlett-Packard.
Next reboot your Mac and follow the steps below to install the printer on Mountain Lion:

I am living in France. I want to buy a hewlett packard calculateur from the itunes store in Germany which is not avalable in France waht can I do?

I am living in France. I want to buy a hewlett packard 15c calculateur app for my ipad which is available in the German itunes store but not in the French one. What can I do?

Sorry, but there's nothing you can do to get that app if it's not available in the French iTunes Store. You can only use the iTunes Store of the country in which you live and have a valid payment method. All I can suggest is that you contact the developer of the app and urge him/her to make the app available in the French iTunes Store. Or look for a similar app that is available in your country's Store.

Print using LPR to Hewlett Packard Designjet 120nr

I am attempting to set up an LPR connection from OS X 10.5.2 to a Windows 2003 Server based queue.
When I add the printer, I am prompted for Server and queue name, this aspect is fine and I have set up other networked printers using this method o.k.
However, when I try to setup the designjet 120 using the same method, I am unable to find the Print Driver in the list of available files.
If I set the printer up selecting the HP IP Print option, the operating system automatically detects the HP Printer and makes the driver available for use.
Is it possible to access this 'built in' driver when configuring LPD printer connections?
Hewlett Packard do not make the driver available for download - they say that it is built in to Leopard. Apple state the same.
Any help appreciated

I'm sorry if I was too brief with my explanation. The driver provided by HP contains code for the direct USB connection and code for the HP IP proprietary protocol. Since it was coded this way, it bypasses the "filter pipe" system in CUPS. If you'd like to read more, this type of print driver is called a monolithic driver in CUPS documents. A driver that makes use of the standard comm protocols provided by CUPS is called a "modern" (I call it a CUPS-) driver.
You can't get a non-CUPS driver to work by changing the comm protocol to LPD.
There is another option. You could set up the Windows server to be a postscript RIP/server:
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/macosx/winmacprinter/
(Sorry, but I don't actually know if it will work with a Server Windows version.)

Using printer hewlett packard 1022

I just brought my old printer from the basement and tried to connect it to my iMac (MacOs 10.4.11). I can´t add the printer to my list. in fact the mac sees the printer, but the "add"-button remains grey, so I con´t proceed. I downloaded the newest printer software package from apple.com, just to find out, that it is for macOs 10.5 or higher.
does anyone have an idea how to add the printer?
it´s pretty urgent, because my woman wants to print out the invitations for the wedding...
thanx, m .

WHY HEWLETT PACKARD ROYALLY PISSES ME OFF?

Shows on bottom right of my monitor:
Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
Dear HP (Assuming I am speaking to HP directly)
I have an HP Pavilion purchased about 2 years ago (a birthday present from my wife). It came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed and disc but with no disc key code. I was having problems with the system running extremely slow so I took it to Staples tech people. They kept it for 4 days, tried everything but nothing worked. They suggested I purchase an external hard drive and transfer all my files, etc. to same which I did but my computer still ran slowly. Thus, out frustration and after spending $300 for tech services and external hard drive, I decide just to install the Windows 7 disc that came with the computer. This, of course, started me back to square one … I had to start as though it was a new computer with no personal saved files, etc.
I seemed to get everything back to normal and had no “slow running” issues. Then, a message started popping up that my version of Windows was not genuine. I searched my computer, found the presumed key code and entered it but it was and continues to be rejected as not valid no matter what I do. Since the time to valid has expired, my Windows screen is black, the clock is always wrong and other annoying things won’t work.
I called your support line and got the runaround. Eventually, my line with your representatives, before I had a solution, was disconnected and I was not about to go through that HELL again. Searching the Web, I was advised that this was a HP issue that you could resolve. If not, Microsoft wants me to spend $150 for another Windows 7 program. After adding up all my expenses thus far to fix my original “slow” problem, I could have bought a brand new computer and I am not going to waste any more of my money. This is why I am so angry and have made my anger known to all my Facebook friends.
Below, I have copied and pasted all the information I was able to gather from my computer operating system, computer battery and Windows information. If you can help me, it would certainly be appreciated and change my opinion of HP which I will immediately make known to my Facebook friends and remove any negative comments I have made about HP.
WHAT'S THIS YOU WROTE? I STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS TO MY PROBLEM. INCREDIBLE!!!

{personal info removed}

WANT TO KNOW WHY HEWLETT PACKARD ROYALLY PISSES ME OFF? You have a computer problem and you call their HELP SUPPORT LINE. This takes you somewhere to the far side of the earth. The FIRST CLOWN who answers, AFTER collecting all your personal information, product information, product codes, serial numbers, etc. and, AFTER having you explain your problem in minute detail, tells you he has to transfer you to a DIFFERENT department. AFTER BEING TRANSFERRED, the SECOND CLOWN, AGAIN, AFTER collecting all your personal information, product information, product codes, serial numbers, etc. and, AFTER again explaining your problem, tells you he has to transfer you to YET ANOTHER department. FOLLOWING SEVERAL MORE REPEATS OF THE SAME ORDEAL AND TALKING TO MANY CLOWNS, all the while praying you don’t get cut off and have to start the entire hellish process anew, you finally reach who you hope to be THE MAIN CLOWN who will finally resolve your problem with THE PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED FROM THEM. DOES HE HELP? HELL NO! He says you need to call some other manufacturer or you have to purchase something from them to correct the problem or you have to pay them to give you their support. SO, you have wasted your ENTIRE day on the phone talking to ALIEN CLOWNS who have been leading you around in circles like an elephant in a circus holding the tail of the elephant in front of him, getting no solution to your problem and trying to communicate with CLOWNS who speak unintelligible English. WELL, the irony is, ALL these “CLOWNS” have made you the BIGGEST CLOWN OF THEM ALL andall you are left with is: “Thanks for calling Hewlett Packard and have a nice day”.
