I currently have an hp deskjet F4280 connected to my Imac (OS X Lion). The printer works perfectly but the scanner doesnt. When you try to use it the computer can´t find the device. It has worked before in a MacBook. Any Ideas?

Will the Application Image Capture in your Applications Folder find the scanner?
...and have you got the latest drivers from the Apple support site: HP Printer Drivers v.2.8 OS X

I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing? The print quality report is fine in color etc.

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?

In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

Hi again
Well I tried eliminating my printer, and starting over again like you suggested, but still cannot get my printer connected to my access point wirelessly.
Also, when I was in the process of installing the printer, I received the following message:
"System extension cannot be used
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireMxBt.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
What the heck does that mean???
Thanks!

Check the printer itself. Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac. If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

I am not sure what all that means but is there any way to use this printer with my new computer?

It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

HELP! I have a new mac book pro and I'm having problems getting it to print. We are trying to do it through the network (wireless). It keeps pausing or telling me the connection failed

Ok. I have a new macbookpro which I love. However, we can't get it to print. We just got Comcast with a modem and wireless router. We can all get into the net wirelessly (4 of us). My son set our PC to share the printer, gave it a name and got his PC to work through it. Mine kept pausing (it's been a week now). Finally connected directly to the printer and it immediately went out and found the drivers (for all HP photosmart series) and installed them (I think they are installed. At least they are listed under drivers in the print/fax section). We then did a test print with it hooked up and it worked. Back to wireless and it keeps pausing or telling me it can no longer communicate with the printer. Tried going back and printing while connected to the cable and it didn't work. Several pages of one liners with gibberish on it (some words like fax, document it) but then it failed. I did tell it the wrong model of printer the other day and there is a picture of it under the real printer (which is listed by the name we gave it on my pc). But I know have the correct driver and it shows it in the bar under the driver listing. The other picture of the wrong model is not highlighted and I don't know how to delete it). It just keeps pausing and telling me I'm no longer connected to the printer. BTW, It tells me the printer is ready and shows the name prior to trying to print. We've tried everything including many suggestions from others. Any suggestions? I find it strange I was able to print yesterday while connected directly and tonight it failed (otherwise the printer is working for others). THANKS SO MUCH! Frustrating to say the least but I'm NOT giving up. Carol

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

I have a Mac with OS 10 5.8 and a new HP Pro 8500 Premier Printer. When printing, how do I change the print option from photo paper to plain or inkjet? This is a serious problem and HP tells me it is a problem with Firefox, that they are getting several

I used to be able to choose print options with Firefox and now I can't. It forces me to use photo paper when I want only to use plain paper. I do not have this problem with Safari or IE, just firefox. I have an office jet 4500 HP printer

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one. Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

I got a new router and i need to connect my printer now but do not have the cd for my printer?

1. HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One Printer J611g
2. Windows 7
3. no wireless connection
4. got a new router
5. I got a new router, therefore, a new SSID. I no longer have the printer CD to change the printer SSID and do not know how to do it without the CD

Hi BethWells, for a start go to the link below
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5061...
Then download the full feature software. I'm not familiar with this printer model, but normally HP full feature software is the same as the CD.
Though I work for HP, I'm speaking for myself and not HP. I'm just trying to help with my limited knowledge

HT1695 I am trying to print wirelessly and get no air printer found. I have a new hp 3523 wireless printer but can't make it work with the new iPad. Do I need a special driver or is there another way for it to work

How do I set up so I can print wirelessly to my hp wireless printer.

Hi,
The printer do support AirPrint (the HP Deskjet 3525 is part of the 3520 Series).
Make sure your printer connected to the same router as your iPad and it shold be listed..
Be aware that you need iOS 4.2 or higher and your router should support Multicasting for AirPrint to work..
If the printer isn't listed please clarify your router brand and model, some routers don't offer Multicasting or have the protocol disabled by default.

Wi-fi connection on HP Deskjet 2540 and network at the same time?

Hello
Please can you tell me how to keep my connection to my wi-fi printer whilst connected to my Virgin Media Broadband? Every time I want to print I have to switch off the Virgin network connection and connect to the HP Deskjet Wi-fi, and then switch it back again to Virgin to browse or send emails.
Thank you for your help

Hey there @AC33 Welcome back
I understand you are looking to install your printer on your network, so you can use the internet and printer at the same time. By the sounds of it, you may be connecting the printer currently, using the Wireless Direct feature, which will only allow you to connect to the printer or the network at a time. Basically, the printer is acting like a network.
Here is a link for you to check out. It will help you install the printer on your network:

I hope this helps you, let me know the outcome

I do have a Deskjet 5740 with all lights fast blinking. Unplug and plugin again does not help. That's already it. I would like to know if anybody can tell me if the means the machine is completely broken. Or if this is a seldom failure situation that can be solved somehow. Please don't overlook that it's f a s t blinking.

I wanted this question one more day on the first site.

What is the username and password for the web page on the hp deskjet 2540 printer?

I need to administer my Deskjet 2540 through my web browser, but do not know the username and password. When it says log in it says 'The server http://[ip adress] requires a pasword. The server says: admin.' I have tryed to use admin as the usermane and no password but it does not work. Is there a way to reset the pasword?
Thanks

Hello there @Aokvilla , Welcome to the Forums!
For the issue you are having, I would recommend trying a different web browser for starters, and if that doesn't help, follow the instructions below from another post with a resolved solution. If those steps don't help, the problem could be your router.
