I have a Photosmart C6180 the printer driver keeps deleting from my computer which has Vista

The driver keeps deleting from time to time I have Vista business installed, also the driver goes offline on its own can anyone help?

Hi,
The driver will most likely go offline or disappear due to connectivity problems.
I assume it is connected through the network, please clarify other wise.
Try installing the patch below which meant to improve the connectivity and check for any progress:

HT203167 my drives got deleted from my computer saw i had to redo it all from scratch but i bought loads of tunes from itunes store & have now not got them, how do i redeem them back?

Do you not have a backup of the computer that you can retrieve the files from?
If not, you can redownload purchases by clicking "Purchased" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.

Do I have to be on the internet to import library from one computer to another ?

Do I have to be on the internet to import library from one PC to another ?

What library? Do you mean you iTunes Library? If so, then no, you don't have to be on the Internet. You only have to copy the library to an external disk, then restore it on the other computer.
Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
Also, see:
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

If this is your iCloud email account, whcn you delete an email from any of your devices, they are moved to the trash on all devices/computers, then the trash is automatically deleted after 30 days. That's how IMAP accounts work. You can't delete them from your device and keep it on the server because you are reading and deleting from the server itself.
If you want to keep them on your Mac, you'll need to move them to a folder rather than deleting them. When you do, they will be moved to the same folder on your other devices.

i have tried to update the iPhoto in an iMac from 2010 ( in which i have updated the OS from SnowLeopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.3) but it doesnt work,why? Is my iPhoto too old to update do i have to buy and install a new version of i Photo ?

You may need to buy the newest version from the App Store. If you cannot update via the App Store then you are using the version from a DVD. Updates for that can be downloaded from support.apple.com/downloads/.

It turned out that WD is the big bad guy in this game.
According the data rescue company where I asked for an inspection, both of the drives had their reader head loose. And in the one, which was my already-in-use disk its even damaged the platters... xxxxx
So its time to pay bunch of money to recover, and take a walk to wd service to bang on the desk.
Also note - it may be somehow related to intellispeed technology - since macs not really friendly with wd-s built-in solutions.
On the other hand, with WD GP 1Tb there is no problems at all for ages.
thanks guys, thread is closed

What should I do?

The first thing you should do is re-write your post to make it a bit more understandable. I got you have an Epson printer connected to your PC, however after that your post doesn't make any sense. Are you attempting to print from your iMac, if so then you need to download and install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. Then set Windows so it has printer sharing turned on and then on the iMac simply follow Apple's instructions for adding a printer.

My G4 can't read the printer driver disc of my BRAND NEW HP All-in-One

I am tearing my hair out on this one. I had an older HP AIO that died on me yesterday, so I ran out and bought a spanking new version, the C4280. I don't recall having any problem setting up the older printer (a psc 1315) and I can't remember whether I installed the driver from the disc or the website. Anyway, I got to Step 11, connected the USB cord as instructed, put in the disc, and my little mushroom whirred in a whisper for about 30 seconds, then spat out the disc. I tried again, unplugged, rebooted, yadda yadda, every config. I could think of, and I still got the whhrrrrwhirrrr, SPIT. I called HP and the 4280 is so new they don't have the drivers up on the website yet, so the very nice Canadian techie verfied that yes, there was only one CD for both Windows AND Mac, and yes, my G4 could read other CDs (my LaCie)--but strangely enough NOT the printer driver for the original psc 1315, which got the same whirrrr-SPIT treatment. So either I originally got the driver off the website, or my G4 has lost some critical cells since then. Now I have occasionally had trouble reading commercial DVDs--I get told they're a blank disc. But I never even made it to that stage with this printer driver disc.
The upshot is they are FedExing me a new printer driver disc tomorrow, this one apparently made especially for MACs. But I'm nervous because of what happened when I tried to put the old psc 1315 driver disc in.
Any thoughts?

Is Lightroom sending sRGB to the printer driver?

Hello,
I've been trying to print something on a color laser printer with Lightroom. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn't seem to support the profile of the printer, maybe it's a CMYK profile, and so I had to use the option "Profile: managed by printer" in Lightrooms print module.
In order to set up the printer driver correctly and let him handle the color management, I'd like to know what Lightrooms sends to the printer driver when the option "managed by printer" is set (and when draft mode is off!)
Thanks in advance

Jeff Schewe - 12:08am Jan 1, 08 PST (#2 of 8)
Version 1.0 sent sRGB
Uh, no...since the beta process, when not using draft mode, Lightroom ALWAYS sent ProProto RGB. Draft mode will send either sRGB or Adobe RGB depending on the settings for the previews.
Since the OP is printing to a laser printer as opposed to a photo printer, the best bet would be to print using draft mode anyway.
Jeff,
You may be right and I am sure you know more about this than I do, but in 1.0 I could print contact sheets to my laser printer with no problems with "managed by printer" selected and draft mode off. Since 1.1 I have not been able to get acceptable results regardless of whether I choose draft mode or not and regardless of the settings in the export module. I would love to solve this as it is the number 1 issue I have with Lightroom.

When I try disabling colour management in the printer driver, it keeps turning back on

I'm using Lightroom v2.4 and a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 printer with the latest driver. I've just tried to print from Lightroom for the first time since moving to this latest version of Lightroom and when I go into print setup and turn off colour management, the driver doesn't keep the setting. Nor does it allow me to do borderless printing. My choice of print quality is also lost - this never used to be a problem.
This is very frustrating and means I must use Photoshop to print which takes longer when there is much to do. Please can someone offer some advice. I can print from Photoshop without this happening.
Thanks
Joanne

Have you tried creating Print templates in LR? Available from the left panel
in Print module. That's what I do to make sure the printer driver settings
stay the same.
Are you quite sure you have the latest 9500 driver?
Eric
I'm using Windows XP SP3, and I have just one button at the bottom left of the
Lightroom print diaglogue window called 'Page settings', when you click this,
you can select the printer and go into properties, which is where I normally
disable colour management. It is also refusing to print at standard quality,
but it defaulting to high quality (which takes a lot longer).
Thing is that I can print from Photoshop without problems and it's from
Photoshop where I do much of my printing, but printing from Lightroom is good
if I have a big load of prints to do as it's so much quicker to set up and it
has the picture package facility.

How can I tell if the print driver was updated?

I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm in System Profiler>Printers and I can see me printer says the driver version is 3.0.1. Is this the right place to check drivers? I have downloaded an update to make it vs. 7.3.1, but it hasn't changed.
I am trying to get my HP 2355 AOI to scan (like everyone else), and I can't figure out what to do after the download and install of 2350731EN-1.dmg. I download it, install it and yet the driver version doesn't change. I think I am missing a step.
Thanks.

I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but I cannot
for the life of me figure it out. I'm in System
Profiler>Printers and I can see me printer says the
driver version is 3.0.1.
This is the version number for HP's current drivers for most of their inkjets and multifunction devices.
Is this the right place to
check drivers? I have downloaded an update to make
it vs. 7.3.1, but it hasn't changed.
This is the version number for HP's multifunction device driver set. It includes the printer driver, the scanner driver, and assorted other stuff.

You did everything right. HP's site is less than clear on the matter.
You should be able to scan using the drivers in the 7.3.1 driver set, plus a graphics app such as Photoshop or Graphic Converter. There should be an app called (I think, I'm not at home where my HP MFD lives right now) HP Scan which will be called by the graphics app, or by HP Image Zone, and can be launched by itself if necessary.
Some HP MFDs can also use VueScan. HP MFDs don't seem to like Apple's Image thingie.

Does using Group Policy Preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed?

I'm trying to prepare our school system for Windows 7 (we currently use XP). I would like to use the new Group Policy Preferences method of deploying printers. I pushed out the XP client side extensions through WSUS. In my test environment, I added the shared printer in group policy preferences. My XP machine had the printers show up automatically, but my Windows 7 machine did not. I realized that I had previously connected a printer of the same type to my XP machine before and the drivers were already installed. To test this theory, I manually connected the shared printers to the Windows 7 machine, deleted them, then logged off and back on. Now the printers are showing up from group policy. My question is does using group policy preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed? If not, then what am I doing wrong? If so, is there a way to work around this? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: To clarify, I am using the share method in GPP. This is the error message I get in the event log:
The user 'PRINTERNAME' preference item in the 'win7 printer test {946461A1-27F8-406F-A0B3-0A1A05AF34F6}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070bcb The specified printer driver was not found on the system and needs to be downloaded.' This error was suppressed.

CS6 cant save the printer driver settings

The problem is similar to this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431235#4431235
Illustrator simply does not save any of the settings in the driver tabs (such as custom print sizes, paper tipe, source tray etc) unless I hit the Print button (e.g. I cant save those settings temporarily by pressing the Done button nor I can save a print presset for a later use), and that is a very very very annoying thing an it brings back some memories of the time I upgraded to CS and CS2 and the case then was even worse because it didnt save the printer driver settings even by printing and allways reverted to the default settings, and now I remember why I hate Adobe so much, because they never had a fix for that until CS3 came out.
That issue has been tested with XP 7 Vista both 32 and 64 (a lot of printer drivers) and it is not a single configuration problem, so please before asking some questions about the kind of the system and software etc do the following with your CS6 (or CS,CS2) and please tell me what happens. Choose File->Print and in the dialog choose whatever printer you have, press 'Setup...' button in the lower left corner, ignore the stupid prompt that some unknown Adobe genius tech invented, press Preferences button in the new Print window that pops up and in the printer driver UI window choose whatever setting you like that differs from the default setting, and then press Ok then Print and in the main Illustrator print dialog pres Done (but not Print if you are in CS6) button to close the dialog. Then open the Print dialog window again, navigate to the printer driver you just adjusted and please tell me what settings you have - those that you adjusted or the default settings. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the responceq Johny_07, unfortunately it solves the problem only if I have to specify the size of the media, but I need to specify the source tray, paper type and so on, parameters that are not present in the dialog box, and those are not remembered by Illustrator also. Do you experience that problem, I have allways wondered why there is no info concerning that problem, is it happening only with my instalations or it is a general program bug.

I have a Photosmart C6180 the printer driver keeps deleting from my computer which has Vista
