IBook 10.4.11 and Photosmart 7550 - Setup problems

I'm trying to connect a Photosmart 7550 to my old iBook with OS X 10.4.11. I had the same printer hooked up to my eMac with the same operating system and it worked fine. I downloaded the installer from HP's site and it installed ok. When I go to printer setup utility, it shows the printer on the USB port, but the Photosmart 7550 is not one of the options. When I select Other and browse for the PPD, it's not there, even though I ran the installer. Anyone come across this?

Verizon DSL and Airport Extreme Setup Problem

I have Verizon DSL (not FIOS). I am using a Westell modem, model number B90-210015-04.
I try to go through the setup but the Airport Extreme Utility says it cannot find a valid IP address (the light keeps flashing).
I have it setup in bridge mode since I think my modem is also a router. However, there are a lot of other inputs in the setup and I don't know if I need to put in anything for those (e.g. DNS Servers, Domain Name, etc.). I called Verizon and they said there shouldn't be any special inputs. They implied it should just work out of the box.
The modem is working with my existing Netgear router (model number WGR614 v4).
Any help?

Had the same problem. Had the same setup as yours.
If you use WPA/WPA2 and if your password is too short (less than or equal to 8 characters), the AirPort Extreme Utility will misleadingly tell you it cannot find a valid IP address. As it turns out, WPA/WPA2 requires a longer password (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wpa2). I don't understand why a weak password would result in a confusing error message like this, but after I used a stronger and longer password, the dreadful amber light finally turned green!
PS: I didn't enter any DNS/DHCP info nor my DSL account/password info throughout the entire setup process. I figured that if I didn't need these pieces of information with the old router before then I shouldn't need them with this new hardware.

Maverick and Photosmart 7150 printer problems

Updated to Maverick os x and now my hp photosmart 7150 printer won't work .. can I update .. and if so how do I update my printer driver for maverick?

Hello
I believe the HP Photosmart 7150 was released back around 2002.
Which version of OSX did you upgrade from ? Were you running previous OS X 10.6 when you upgraded to new 10.9 ?
Unfortunately, the HP Photosmart 7150 has not been supported for some time now with the last few releases of OS X.

Airport express and network printer setup problem

I could not find and add my network printer in my work place only when network is connected via my airport express. I can see the printer when the network is connected by ethernet cable. Note: the printer I mentioned is not connected to the USB of the AE, it is a separate network printer with a true IP.
Is this a firewall problem in the airport express unit? I have the same problem with my ThinkPad too.

Have you tried putting the printer's IP address into the "add a printer" dialog box IP view of the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences?
It sounds like your AirPort Express is creating another subnet that is making it hard to access the printers subnet. You might try putting the AirPort Express into "bridge" mode.

Airport Express and Verizon Fios - setup problem

we recently converted to Verizon Fios - the airport express (used to play music through a stereo) stopped working and is no longer recognized (continuous blinking amber with "no configured station etc")- i have read through older solutions and many deal with different versions of the station or of Airport Utility - my Airport Express is Model A1264 - the Airport Utility is 6.3.1.4 - the OS X is 10.8.3 -
the Verizon Router has the following: (codes left out)
Actiontec number (ending in rev.1 - is this the model #?)
User name = admin
password
ISSID
WPA2 key
WPS pin
Wan Mac
the ISSID (5 digitt alpha and numeric) and the WPA2 Key (16 digit alpha & numeric) have been used to log on all wifi devices in the house (eg iphone/ ipad, streaming netflix) and worked
any assistance greatly appreciated

i did read your post and had already tried a hard reset - several times - i have done it again to no avail - however i have done the following
- i have 3 iMacs - one in the next room to where the main one is (the one i am having trouble with) and another in another part of the house with no wifi service - i took the Air Exp and plugged it in next to the iMac furthest away - it was found in seconds
- i next tried it on the iMac in the next room - it was found - the Utility indicated it was examing the station then it wanted me to set up a new network which it named using my name and Airport Express - it asked for a new password - i gave it to it - THEN it wanted me to plug an ethernet cable into the airport express!! which i can't do - that is why it was being used wirelessly - i can't seem to get past that point
- the main Imac still will not find the Air Esp station - if i can get the one in the bext room to work the airport express i can transfer the music to it and play from there

HP Photosmart 7550 printer with Leopard

I'd just like to know if there is anyone who is able to use an HP Photosmart 7550 printer with Leopard.
I can print, but the printing is all garbled.

Thank you for your help HP Mac Architect.
Print Driver from System Preferences-> Print & Fax shows HP PhotoSmart 7550 - CUPS+GutenPrint 5.1.3 . There is another version called HP PhotoSmart 7550 - GutenPrint 5.1.3 .
The same "drivers" show up under http://localhost:631 which tells me that my system is only finding the CUPS driver (I think its a PPD or Postscript Printer Definition file that works with 1 driver for all printer types).
I downloaded the HP drivers on 11/2/2007 - that file is called gutenprint05.1.3.U.dmg (Jun 19 2007). I ran Install Gutenprint 5.1.3.mkpg found on the disk image. This installed the HP PhotoSmart 7550 - CUPS + GutenPrint 5.1.3 drivers.
I also have an HP Printer Selector program from 11/2/2007. If I click the "select" button on this program, it brings me to a screen called HP Printer Utility. At the bottom of the screen it appears to specify a non-cups driver: PhotoSmart/AiO connectivity: photosmart 7550, SN:CNxxxxxx. I can print a test and a diagnostic page from this utility window. The printing is absolutely perfect from this window.
So to me it appears that there is an old photosmart driver seen from the HP Printer Selector program and there are CUPS drivers. yet System Prefs can't find this driver. Or am I wrong.....
Thanks again for trying to help

Print Driver for Photosmart 7550

My can i not get an updated driver for my Photosmart 7550 i have a MAC. I have had this priner for years and love the quality of the photos that is prints. my can HP not make just a photo printer anymore???? i have since bought the HP photosmart 7520 and the print quality is crap. please help

Welcome to the HP Community @ericabomberger
I read through your post about the concerns you're having with your Photosmart 7550 and 7520, and I am here to address them for you.
There areno available drivers for the PS 7550 on Yosemite, as the printer model is older, and Yosemite is quite new.
Your best bet would be to troubleshoot the Print Quality Issues on your PS 7520, as this model is compatible with 10.10. I would suggest trying all of the steps from this guide to help improve the Print Quality problems:
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series
If you find that the troubleshooting does not help the PQ, call HP directly to see what your printer options are. You may need a replacement part or printer and technical support can help you in that category.

Win7 64-bit driver for Photosmart 7550

I have Windows 7 64-bit. I need a driver for my HP Photosmart 7550 printer. The Deskjet 5550 alternative driver will not work.
Short of dumping the printer, what can I do? Is there a driver to be released soon?
Joe

Gee, I hate to say "You've got to be kidding me" but ... (I have a bad attitude over the following)
HP dropped the 7550 when they went to Vista, I see no way that all of a sudden they will support 7 on this.
Now I'm going to see if they do the same to the photosmart premium C309a, see my other thread.
I still have my 7550, it is a terrific photo printer, however without access to the SW, memory card slots, etc. there was no reason to have it on my vista system without full functionality, and HP dropped the ball on it at a time when it was one of the best out there. It was not an outdated model by any means when Vista was released either. Hp seems to have a method where they move on and make you go out and get a new model to go with the new OS, if this becomes the case witht he C309a, I'll be done with their line of printers, both at my home and office.
I hate saying that. I've lived with the bloatware, the patches, and patiently waited for SW that goes with what I think is good hardware (at least I havent had major HW issues, I had an older DJ560 that was serviced in Corvalis, great job) but lately I believe they wish to rest on their history and public name perception. When my fairly new released printer is not supported (and basic functionality of an AIO is for all functions, not just printing) with an OS that was in RC when it came out, then it may be time to make a move.
We'll see after the 22nd.

HP Photosmart 7550 not compatible--suggestions?

I recently purchased a MacBook and I just tried to print photos on my HP Photosmart 7550. It would appear that it is not compatible. Frankly, I have never had a good relationship with this printer, so my heart is not broken. But, I am concerned about the compatibility of a MacBook with whatever I buy next, so I'm hoping for some testimonials and/or advice. I need a printer that will print documents and/or photos, so not one of those "mini" printers. I have considered an all-in-one that also scans, vacuums, and makes dinner.
Thoughts?

Take a look on this page:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
First download and install this package:
espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg (5.4 MB)
Then download and install this package:
hpijs-foomatic-2.0.2.ppc.dmg (1.6 MB) .
Now you should be able to connect the HP Photosmart 7550 to the Mac and print on it!

HP Photosmart 7550- fixable?

Our photosmart 7550 recently began malfunctioning. The print quality is horrible, with random bars of color across the page, and missing segments of print in a random fashion. We had a slight problem, then the print cartridge carriage kept getting stuck and now the problem is worse. All ink cratridges are new. We were wondering if there is anyplace that fixes these printers, or if they can be fixed at all. We bought a new printer but would like to donate this one, rather than throw it in the landfill.

How is the printer connected? If to a network, what router? What operating system?

How do I install a photosmart 7550 to a windows 10 desktop computer

how do I install a photosmart 7550 to a windows 10 desktop computer? 32 bit version

Going to HP and checking for a sollution did not solve my problem. However if you follow the directions for installing the photosmart 7550 for Windows 7 it works. Keep in mind, the procedure is correct, just the prompts are in different locations then in win 7. It works.

Setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

Hi marsano,
Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
* Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
# Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
# [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
# Run installer
Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
Hopefully this helps!

I uninstalled Firefox and now a setup wizard does not start when I re-download. 64 bit Windows 7

My java stopped working, I reinstalled..Firefox still didn't recognize my java....I decided to reinstall Firefox and now when I download, Firefox will not open it's set up wizard it just extracts data and stops....grrrrrrrrr I run Windows 7 64bit Operating system

Sorry you are having problems.
Could it possibly be any security related software that is preventing this ?
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Windows
Make sure that you have an official copy of Firefox. Do a clean install BUT make sure you do not use any offer to remove personal data or you will destroy bookmarks and settings. If you have problems try to give the exact error messages so paste them into your reply of attach screen shots.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#'''Windows:'''
#*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#*C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These are difficult to recover unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Lets get Firefox installed then deal with any Java problem.
* What is it that you need Java for ??
