Installing HP 7550 printer

In printer browser I select my printer, in "print using" I select HP. In drop down list (model) my printer is missing. Only two photosmart beta's are listed, neither of which is my printer. If I click add, it will add whatever printer is selected, even if grayed out. When I run print or diagnostic test they are OK. I cannot print from a scan or an on screen item. My Epson CX3200 will work fine but not the HP. I have downloaded the drivers for OS X from HP. Obviously I'm not getting something installed but I don't know what or why not. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for any guidance

Hello deedho
The HP 7550 was already supported by OS X and you should not have had to download anything!

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

I am trying to install a new printer and I am not sure which application to use?

I am trying to install a new printer with the external CD rom drive on my MacBook Air. When I load the disc it is not allowing the program to run as it is stating that I have the wrong application to do so. How do I install things from the external CD Rom?

What model printer is it?
It is unlikely you need its installation CD-ROM at all.

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.

Installed a new printer and one line on the top is skipped

Appreciate your inputs.
We have been using the 'Check Printing report' for quite a while; We recently installed a new printer and we see that the alignment has gone wrong.
The checks are printing from one line below as it is skipping one line. Where do we adjust the setting so that the printing starts from the place where we want?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Im no expert but I doubt its a template issue more likely to be the control escape sequence on the printer diriver set up. Check your printer manual and the current set up you have.

Printer's wireless stopped working after installing a wired printer.

I recently installed a new Epson printer to my computer with a wired connection. That works fine as far as I know, but when I got home, I found that my wireless HP printer no longer worked through the wireless connection, though the wired connection worked fine. It also worked fine that morning before I installed the new printer. Is there any chance that when I installed the new Epson printer that some of the settings would have transferred over to the existing HP printer, or is it more likely something in the HP printer itself? Either way, what could it be and how would I go about fixing it?
For reference, the malfunctioning printer is an HP Officejet 7500 E910, and the newly installed printer is an Epson Artisan 730 Series.

Hi mgrimm,
I would look first at the connection to the router.
Does the Officejet 7500 still have an IP address? If you enter the IP address as the URL in a web browser, does it open the Embedded Web Server in the printer?

How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Problems:
1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on my Macbook Air.
Please help!!

Thank you John Galt!
After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
Next, I switched on the printer.
I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
*NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.

Hi All,
I setup 2 Mac Minis, 'setup in a no-apple id. Now with Mini1 I installed a shared printer from Windows7 Pc it ask for credentials then I input Adminstrator account and the password ticking the remember in "keychain"
I run a test print and its seamless. I reboot the Mini1 and run test print again and its good.
Now in Mini2 I did the same installation on shared printer but it is asking for user credential again and again, there is a check mark in "remember in keychain but still gives a notice that "requires authentication" I put the admin creadentials same with Mini1 then it prints.
every time I print on Mini2 its always asking for a user & password before Printing. How can we fix it.
I tried
- lpd printing = "authentication required"
- reset printer settings ang re-install printer = "authentication required"
- replace sharename in windows7, reinstall printer in Mini2 = "authentication required"
This stuff never happened to Mini1.

Windows 7 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers

My HP Pavilion p7-1297cb pc which is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers. All my windows updates are current, HP print and scan doctor did not fix it, I also tried MS fix it manager and did not work. When I try to use my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus installation CD or HP's download center, software almost installs, but says print drivers will not install. Also, I tried using USB connection and windows tries to install software, but does not work. Same for HP print driver support. I tried installing 3 different HP printers I had and all had the same issue. Any ideas on why my system will not allow any print drivers to install?

Hi rrfhp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand none of the HP drivers will fully install.
I will be happy to help you.
Are you signed in as the Administrator of the computer?
I would turn off all start up programs to make sure there isn't something blocking the printer.
Click on start, in the search box type in run, enter, then type in msconfig, click OK.
Click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
Then click on the start up tab at the top.
Click on disable all.
Reboot the computer.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software.
Then run the installation again by right clicking on the setup and selecting run as Admininstrator.
Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
Try printing now.
Then go back into msconfig and enable the All Microsoft Services and enable all on the start up tab.
Turn the Antivirus software back on again.
Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
Are you getting any error messages?
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a nice day!

2) How do I upgrade?

It's probably cheaper to buy a new printer & sell the existing on on ebay.

Your printer needs to have a technology called AirPrint built in on it.
If it has wifi built in, it has a chance of working, as no non-wifi printers have AirPrint built in.
If it does, your printer can work with the iPad.
If it doesn't, you can purchase software for your Mac or PC that uses your computer as a little passthrough to connect and print from your printer.
