I recently purchased HP 8500 Premium. Occasionally prints garbled text. I have XP Pro OS

I recently purchased HP 8500 Premium.  Occasionally prints garbled text.  I have XP Pro Operating System.  

I contacted HP Support AND also checked on their website.  HP has only provided Apple Update with a basic Printer Driver for this Model of Printer for Lion (which I also own).  The original HP Software that came with your Printer is NO longer supported with LION.  HP told me they may eventually update THEIR software, or may not.  In the meantime they direct people who need to SCAN to Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
Hope this helps

  • New guy! Recently purchased CS5 web premium,

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased CS5 web premium, I realize that I need to learn about ALL the programs, Is there an order that I should learn in? Is it better to start with Photoshop or Flash? Dreamweaver or Illustrator?
    Also, I noticed that there are 3 Flash programs, Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4. Are these used together or standalone? is there a correct order to learn these applications?
    Can't wait to learn but don't know where to start!!! Appreciate all help!!
    Thanks!

    Well, what is it that you actually want to do? I really suggest you watch at least some overviews and basic tutorials. You seem mightily confused as to what each program is actualyl used for and ultimately that in combination with your needs will dictate learning priorities.
    Flash Professional, Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4. Are these used together or standalone?
    FC is something completely different than the "real" Flash and a simplified tool to produce animations and presentations without programming. Flash Pro is the "standard" Flash, part graphical animation, part programming. FB (formerly Flex) is the geek version of Flash which mostly focuses on programming for server-side stuff on large websites with dynamically generated Flash content.

  • I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro.  I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also.  Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice?  If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

    I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro.  To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase?  If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

    No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.

  • I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?

    I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
    I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?

    Ouch, well there is a problem.
    This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (50GB say)
    Bootcamp (50GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (50GB say)
    Bootcamp (50GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    Emtpy Space (100GB say)
    This is what you want
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (100GB say)
    Bootcamp (100GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
    And you only have four partitions.
    You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
    Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
    This is what your going to need to do.
    You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
    You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
    Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
    Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
    Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
    Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
    When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
    As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware.

  • I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card.  I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

    I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card.  I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

    Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

  • Firefox prints garbled text no matter what, from my XP-SP3 HT-P4 to my HP LJ 1200 PCL

    I am using FF 3.6.13 on a HT-P4, 3 GHz, with XP-SP3, 4Gig RAM lots of HD space. Every other application on my machine prints fine to my HP LaserJet 1200 PCL (even MS Explorer and G-Chrome) but no matter what I do in terms of changing settings or fonts, no matter what webpage or HTML file I pull up in it, FF prints garbled text. Some times not all of the text is garbled but usually the parts I really need are the ones garbled.

    I wonder whether anyone can give me advice on the above problem, thanks. Have upgraded to Firefox 9.

  • Prints Garbled Text with HP845C

    My Garbled Text problem:
    My MacBook is back from Applecare after it went dead, and the internal hard disk was wiped clean by them as I requested, and in checking completed print jobs, I see that they did try printing a document or two after reformatting and re-installing OS X.
    However, my MacBook STILL continues to print garbled text from every application when connected, either directly or via Airport, to my HP 845C, regardless of which hard disk I start up from, even the one reformatted by AppleCare. (I have three different 10.4.11 hard disks available to start up from.)I have tried this MacBook with other printers, and text prints just fine.
    In addition, I routinely send documents to this HP 845C from other computers, and it prints just fine from them.
    So how can it be a software problem?
    So, it seems that this particular printer no longer likes my MacBook. !? (They used to work together just fine.)
    How can this be and what can I do about it? Does anyone have a clue?
    Is there someway I can re-set this printer to come back into "like" with my MacBook? Resetting the Printer System through Printer Setup Utility does not help.
    I have found nothing on the HP website to help.
    Looking forward to advice from the geniuses here on the forum.
    In addition, Safari continues to quit unexpectedly on this MacBook after clicking on any link, regardless of which hard disk I start the MacBook from, even the one reformatted by AppleCare. This is very odd.

    Hi Nathan,
    I think we need to figure out the crashing first.
    Here's what I'd try...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    On the Printer side...
    Might try these two...
    Mac OS X: About the Reset Printing System feature ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341?viewlocale=en_US
    Might try Printer Setup Repair 5.1...

    Reinstall the Latest Printer Driver.

  • Printing to windows printer via SMB - Printing garbled text

    Hi all.
    I have been working on this issue for around 3 hrs this morning and finally figured it out. Thought I'd post what I did to help others with similar issues.
    Here's my set up:
    I have a PC with HP photosmart printer connected to it. I've a Macbook Pro that I connect to the PC via SMB protocol for file sharing. If I wanted to print from the mac to the printer I had to disconnect the printer form the PC and directly connect it to the mac. I wanted to be able to print from the Mac to the printer via the PC. Should be that hard right as I have already successfully file shared via SMB.
    Well it was a little difficult. I did many a search on here and the web and eventually found the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
    So, following these steps i tried to print a single page word (office 2008 for mac) doc from the mac. Hey presto! The printer kicked into life and started...
    ...problem was it spewed out around 20 pages of Garbled text! I tought it might have been print jobs stacked up from the last unsuccessful attemt at doing this but no, no jobs there. Thought it might have been Word/office for mac, etc. so tried to print from Text Edit but same thing.
    After hrs of screaming, F'ing & Blinding I finally figured out it was to do with what printer I had it set up on. I went into Print & Fax in System Preferences, highlighted the printer and clicked printer setup tab. In the drop down tab I selected printer model. It was set on Generic.
    In the drop down list there it shows a huge selection of printers. my particular model was not there so I chose the closest thing and selected that.
    After exiting all that and trying again it worked.
    I'm very happy.

    Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
    From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
    When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
    simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
    Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
    On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
    1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
    2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
    3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
    4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
    5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
    6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
    7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
    Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

  • Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

    User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page.  In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu.  In XI it produces a blank page.  The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document.  She only wants the added text to print.

    Thanks to all who commented here.  I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text.  As everyone responded here, that's as designed.  However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X.  I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu.  Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page.  And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.

  • PDF prints garbled text to HP M1522NF

    Hi I have a user at a remote job site using Windows XP and Adobe Pro Extended (9).  We have a web application where the user clicks a button to open a PDF.  When it opens on screen, she can read everything fine, but when she goes to print the document, it prints out in garbled text as shown in the example.. it happens sporadically.  She can print fine for awhile and then hits one that looks like this when printed.  She is printing to an HP LaserJet 1522NF.  The PDF opens in a web browser and reads fine.  Then when they print, the text becomes garbled.  Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am working on a similar issue, there seems to be a problem with Adobe choosing fonts incorrectly, or incorrectly encoding the fonts. The easiest (though temporary) solution is to install a a different version of acrobat reader (8 if you have 7, or 7 if you have 8). Also, if this is online, saving it to the desktop and printing it from there can solve the issue.

  • Have Photoshop Elements 12, recently purchased Epson Workforce WF-7620 Printer/scanner , cannot import scanned pictures into Photoshop, does not see the Printer/scanner.

    How can I get my Photoshop Elements 12 to import scanned images from my Epson Workforce WF-7620 ?. The program does not recognise the Priner/scanner.
    Bruce

    Is it trying to get you to join photoshop.com? The easiest way around that is not to use the welcome screen. Go into the program files and make direct shortcuts for the organizer and/or editor and start PSE that way from now on. Photoshop.com is dead and gone so the welcome screen will hang up trying to connect to something that no longer exists.

  • Ok, I recently purchased a android phone which I love but I have a Mac which I love also

    I noticed that windows phone has a app for the mac app store and also has a syncing software. Why does android not have a program like this. Is it just the Apple company?

    Well I have 718 songs and that would take forever. But I found a good software called the missing sync. Another question, how would I get the videos and movies that I purchased on iTunes to the phone.
