I think I have deleted my printer drivers and I can't recover them

Hello,
I use an HP PSC1600 printer/scanner. Recently I had to reinstall my OS, and today I tried to scan for the first time since doing so. The scanner didn't work, and unfortunately I went on the wrong route to try to fix it. Instead of the usual 'keep on trying till it works', I tried reinstalling the software from the HP disks that came with the printer. After setup had repeatedly failed, I found some online help on the HP website that advised uninstalling all HP software and emptying trash. I did so, and in the process I also had to go into Activity Monitor and quit some HP processes that were running, and restart.
Having done all this, I tried again to reinstall the software from the disk. After that didn't work again, I took a closer look at HP support and found that the software is not supported by Snow Leopard, but that the drivers that come bundled and through Software Update do. Unfortunately Software Update doesn't find any new software, and now printing has also stopped working for me as well as scanning. I would be grateful for any advice as to how I can get things back to the status quo ante.
Thanks in advance

I would be very interested in knowing how you did that.  I did the same thing. and I'm getting the "You may not be able to print to “HP Photosmart D7500 series.” Please reinstall the printer’s software."
What I don't know how to do, is how to install the HP drivers again.
If there is a way to do this in Apple Software Update, I'm interested in hearing it?

    Did you create a backup after the video was taken?  If not then it is gone.  IF you have such a backup then restore from that

  • Why is my Macbook pro with OS lion prompting me my startup disk almost full when i have deleted many files, photos and videos? Even thrashing them doesn't help. There seems to be an automatic space usage in the background

    I have deleted many unwanted files and apps and yet the available space keeps depleting every time i am using my Macbook Pro. I believe under the OS 10.7.4 one of the features is it backups or has backgrounding features which uses memory. Sometimes even when i hv 8GB space after using my Macbook Pro for say 2hrs surfing internet and using Pages which has a "Save Version" feature suddenly my 8GB goes down to 300+MB only and it starts prompting me "My Startup Disk is almost full" once it reaches 1GB space left. How can i get more space.... Please someone can help me? Do i need to re-format my hardisk??!! Any help out there is greatly appreciated.
    My original HD is 320GB. And i don't hv too many Apps installed. I do have abt 50-70apps. I do have many photos and videos stored in iPhoto's Library though.

    One thing I've noticed is that a shared tab pops up when I open the finder under "favorites" with a random connection. It's called hp68b... None of my friends that I live with have this and we all use the same internet. Two days ago when I would click it and click get info, it said it was a pc. When I checked it today it said it is a "sharepoint" and looks like a harddrive.
    I took it too the store after i spilt water on it but when I got it back it ran perfectly fine. I don't know a lot about computer so if somebody could help me. It says I'm connected to it and I can't disconnect or delete it. I don't know if the guy at the computer store put something in my computer and is sharing all my files.

  • Hi I have a newish MBA approx 1 year old that was running mountain lion. I think i have deleted the entire system and any partitions it boots and says no bootable drive when i try cont R it starts internet recovery but just sits there

    Hi during playing around with my MBA i think i have despite all the warnings deleted everything from my laptop. I do not have a back up or usb start up. when i boot the laptop it says no bootable device found, i have tried various configerations of alt cntr r etc the best i can get it to is a spinning grey globe that says looking for internet connection. it does not see my wifi so i do have a usb-rj45 adapter that if i plug into the R/H side usb port lets it see the internet (i think) it then brings up a down load bar but this never moves and in the end brings an error nummber up i think it was -0007 or -0002.
    Do i have to buy new mountain lion or usb start up stick
    I have access to a windows PC (not mac) so can use this to create a usb if someone helps an idiot out
    thanks Martin

    I had just finished backing everything up and was about to hit the wipe button when I found a solution that worked for me: here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?tstart=0
    It gdisk to be installed, and a bit of terminal knowledge, but it fixed the problem for me. For this step:
    add partion 5 to the MBR
    It was partition 4 for me. You should first use gdisk's 'p' command to find the number of your bootcamp partition, and then use that number.

  • Help I think I have Macvx on my computer and I can't get rid of it.

    Help,
    I think I have Macvx on my iMac late 2012 21.5 running the latest OS.
    I am getting heaps of ads in my web browser.
    I have seen similar question from other people and responses explaining to find and search for it in your applications menu but I can't find anything that relates to it or that was installed recently.
    I have even looking in the library and through spotlight search searching the specific words Macvx and Vidx.
    Please help,
    Thank you very much.

    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » AdMedic.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • 10.5.7 Upgrade Deleated ALL Drivers and I can't reinstall them!!!

    Help!!! I just upgraded my 2007 MacBook to OS X 10.5.7 and It has deleted all my printer drivers, including the ones I had installed from the CD That came with my Canon Pixima MP470. I have tried reinstalling the drivers from the CD three times now, and I still cannot print. What should I do???

    Since I have the same problem, I thought I'd jump in. With the new update 10.5.7 on a MacPro I no longer am able to print to my Canon Pixma MP780. When I try to add it to the list of printers, the "add" window shows it on the list, but doesn't stay open long enough to select it.
    Steps I've taken:
    Repaired permissions with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior; downloaded driver for the printer and reinstalled 3 times; reset print system 2x; even redownloaded the update from Apple website and reinstalled.
    Still no change. Again, the add printer window appears with the MP780 on the list, but doesn't allow me to select it and add.
    BTW the MP780 is directly connected to the computer. I have one other printer, connected by airport through an iMac in another room that is recognized and does allow printing from my MacPro.
    Help, I need this printer for my home office.

  • I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed by mistake and I can't find them torestore them. I wanted the original one back on the dashboard but I have't been able to do that. HELP !!! Thanks...

    I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed from the dashboard dock by mistake. I can't seen to find them to restore tham. HELP!!!

    Widgets are located in the folder, users/"user name"/library/widgets/
    Whilst holding down the option key in finder, and selecting the library under the "go" menu, you can access your library within Lion.
    If you have a working Time Machine backup, you can restore those missing files back to the widgets folder. If you don't, and your widgets folder is empty, then they are indeed gone (unless they are still in the trash). You would then have to re-download them from where they came.
    If everything is there, then just click the "+" symbol at the lower left corner of the dashboard screen to add them back to the window.

  • I think I have 2 itune accounts open and would like to consolidate them into one -don't know my user name of the one account how can I consolidate these

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry, the forum is not letting me post links.  You will need to add the https stuff to the start of this --> iforgot.apple.com/
    To identify an account used to purchase an item:
    In iTunes, select one of the items purchased from the iTunes store. Click on "Purchased" under iTunes store on the left side of iTunes.
    Right click --> get info.
    On the Info tab will be the Apple/iTunesID used to purchase the item.
    You cannot combine accounts.  Anything bought with one will permanently be associated to that account.  Decide which one will be your main one and just use it.  Keep stuff from the other backed up so you don't have to log into that account again unless essential.

  • Deleting email folders on my hotmail/outlook also deleted them on coresponding thunderbird account and I can't recover them.

    My thunderbird synchronization and storage settings set to save messages to my computer, but after deleting messages and folders in my actual hotmail account, the same messages and folders were deleted from the corresponding thunderbird account. I lost thousands of messages. Can they be recovered? both emails and folders were deleted and I could not undo the actions in hotmail.

    Move messages that you want to keep to the Local Folders "account" in Thunderbird.
    The synch settings are to do with local cache copies to make working in Thunderbird faster, so it doesn't have to download a message each time you view it. Synch isn't intended to provide permanent storage. The whole premise of IMAP is that messages are stored on the server and not on clients.
    So if you detach messages from the IMAP server by moving them to Local Folders, they are yours and of no further concern to the server.

  • You have popunders for Firefox 4 and I can't block them. I won't use the browser at all until this problem is fixed. leland.dobbs@ucsf.edu

    I have all popups blocked, but can't prevent the Firefox 4 informational one, which is very annoying. See above. I need a solution to this or I won't use Firefox anymore.

    Is it the "you just upgraded" page appearing in a new window? That is not supposed to appear after the first time. This article can help with troubleshooting the problem: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20you%20start%20Firefox Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
    If it is some other page, you may have malware or a very poorly behaved add-on. Can you post the URL of the pop-under?

  • I seem to have lost albums in iphoto and i can't find them in time machine either

    I have lost the last few albums created in iphoto and they don't seem yo be in time machine either

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Can't I get my old iTunes that I have purchased downloaded from Apple?  I don't have the old computer anymore.  Also, is there a number to call if I think I have more than one account and would like them to consolidate my accounts?

    I have two problems:
    1.  I no longer have my old computer and want to download the iTunes I have purchased in previous years.  Aren't they all in "the cloud?"
    2.  I think I have more than one account and would like to get them combined.  Is there a good number or email to Apple that I could get that done?
    THanks!
          SHawn

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
    You can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    As provided, you cannot merge accounts
    Sorry
