A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

Apple Mail will not store my password

10.8.4 Mail will not keep 3 of my account's passwords. They are all IMAP hosted at Dreamhost. I can access them on my iPhone, iPad, and web just fine. I've:
- rebooted
- reset the passwords at Dreamhost
- deleted the accunts from Mail and added them back
- run the keychain firstaid (no joy). The passowrds do not ever show up in keychain
The Console continually shows:
     9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error updating the value of the Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxxx.com: -25295
     9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error finding an Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxx.com: -25295
The password field under Mail ->Preferences-> Accounts is blank, even when I retype it, save it, click a different account, and immediately look at the problem account again
The weird part is that my mail comes in sporadically, but then Mail will ask for the password, I key it in, and immediately the same box pops up asking for the password. It's like there is a "glitch" with it saving it into the Keychain, but like I said, Keychain First Aid didn't pick up anything.
Any thoughts?

@Eric- Keychain wasn't locked
@Linc- Thanks. I did that and got the following from the Console:
9/4/13 1:51:17.023 PM com.apple.SecurityServer[16]: Sandbox denied authorizing right      'system.keychain.create.loginkc' by client '/Applications/Mail.app' [336]
9/4/13 1:51:18.245 PM sandboxd[495]: ([336]) Mail(336) deny authorization-right-obtain      system.keychain.create.loginkc
So i figured that the Keychain was corrupted. I tried FirstAid again, but it didn't flag anything, so I deleted the Keychain file.
Update: Ok, so after resetting the Keychain and getting error messages that the Keychain file was invalid, I figured the file was corrupted. I reset the default Keychain (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1544) and then ran Keychain First Aid (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296) and that fixed it. All of my Keychain passwords are wiped now, but Mail is communicating with Keychain just fine.

I just downloaded Lion and when it opened mail for the first time, I received an error that there was something corrupted in mail. I was directed by Apple to close Mail and re-open it. I did, but now Mail will not open at all. What do I need to do to c

I am having issues with Mail after downloading and installing Lion. Snow Leopard prior. There was a message that there was some sort of corruption in Mail and that I should close Mail and re-open Mail. I did, but Mail will not open at all.

Mail will not remember account password LION

Just migrated to new Macbook Pro. Apple Mail account is set up but it will not remember the password. I have another account set up in Mail which is working fine.
Ruzzer

After much frustration and googling, I ended up finding my own solution.
My situation came when I replaced my MAIL folder with another mail folder from another account.
At first the mail account acted normally, but the next day after starting the mac my mail kept asking for account passwords on ALL of my mail accounts (a mix of IMAP and POP3).
Here are the fixes I tried but didnt work
KeyChain Access = First Aid repair (did nothing and found no errors)
Deleted my Mail plist file (again nothing changed)
Triple checked my email account passwords (no change)
The one thing that I noticed was that most people where told to delete the Mail keychain password entry in keychain. The thing is with my keychain there was NO MAIL KEYCHAIN. I think this is the big problem.
To remedy this I tried the KeyChain Access FIRST AID REPAIR again, but this time I had a look at the Key chain log and found there was over 26,000 entried. I figured they where only log files and just deleted all file. Restarted the mac and turned on mail, it will ask for password but this time it remembers the password!!!
Here is a step by step for you all:
WARNING: this will nuke all your stored keychains, be prepared to re enter any passwords or user names you may have stored.
1. Open Keychain Access (Use spotlight and search "Keychain")
2. Go to Keychain prefs (Command + ,)
3. In the GENERAL tab press the "Rest My Default Keychains" button
4. Enter your password (Press OK)
5. There will be an option to view log files, press this button
6. Select all files and delete them.
7. Restart your mac.
8. Open mail, it will ask for your mail account password
9. enjoy the stress of email again!
I thought someone else my find this useful and save them some headaches.

My Itunes was working fine on my computer. It would not open so I re-installed it. It says it installed correctly but it still will not open...any ideas?

I'm am assuming you are using a windows PC. If so these steps may help you tremendously. Step 5 is usually the culprit.

I have been using firefox successfully for some time but now it will not open. I deleted firefox and re installed it but it still will not open. What happened??????

I have been using firefox for over a year with no problems. All of a sudden it has quit opening. I thought it might be something in my computer so I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it from your web site. It still will not open. What do I do now???????

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

LOOK! I installed Lion but the firewire is NOT recognized on my Mac Pro!

I installed LION on my Mac Pro, 2009, 2x 2.26 8 core and BOOM! I could no longer use my studio which is run by a Tascam FW1884 DAW control. When I hooked it up to my macbook ALSO running 10.7, it worked fine! UGH! Then I called tech support and they said I have to go to Genius Bar, I aint got the time to drag my studio down there so I went back to Snow Leopard. Anyone else have this issue?

This is a communication problem.

A-B-C and you/me/us caught in the middle.
The number of times this happens makes it normal, so the right hand doesn't know what the left does.
There are huge labs, they don't need yours.
Adobe: well, Flash 10.3 wasn't working with the versions of Lion that we had to work with, so we publised "known issues" K.B. and now have a correction blog post.
Usually it is the reverse, something works, then breaks. Why? internal build changes.
Booting from Lion DVD will not work because of 3rd party hardware also.
F6 anyone? so I can load that SI 3132 driver for my PCIe SATA?

I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?
