Installing software for my HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer on to my Mac?

I have downloaded new software and drivers for my all-in-one printer. I am running OS X 10.5.2 on a 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. The computer recognises that a printer is present and I can print with no problems. The problem that I'm having is with the scanner function. I don't think that the HP software is registering that there is a printer present. When I go into the HP setup assistant no printer comes up in the selection window. When I go into Printer & Fax via system preferences the HP psc 1210 series comes up as the default printer. I've had this problems before but cannot remember how I rectified it. I'm sure it got something to do with erasing the driver's off the computer and starting over again. Can anyone please help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Please help me to find software for this (scanner document) I have lost the CD lont time back can i download This some where?

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

    I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install.  I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer.  Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS?  My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

  • Hp psc 1210 all in one printer feeding error

    I have a model 1210 all in one printer and it will not feed paper. it sounds like something its working, but not gripping the paper. PLEASE ADVISE

    Hello @anne0701 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see you're experiencing paper feed issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a  power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps in this video on PSC feed issues:

    Hey folks,
    it used to work fine, now for no apparent reason, it is printing out photos with a strong green hue. They all come out looking very green and yellow.
    I have done several things - i have downloaded and updated all printer software and drivers, i have ran all printer calibrations and cleaning programs, i have accessed Macbook utilities folder and ran all colorsync utility's such as repair and adjust hue. What is going on here? I am completely stumped with this one.

  • Installing HP PSC 1350 all-in-one printer/scanner

    In the past, I could usually solve the "Offline" or "Not Connected" problems by unplugging my printer for a few minutes, but that no longer works. So, I decided to buy another one. However, just before clicking on the BUY button on Amazon, I decided to try to fix the problem one more time. Part of the "fix" was deleting my printer from the computer and then reinstalling it. This is where I'm now stuck. I deleted it, but I can't reinstall it. I get to the ADD window, but everything is grayed out. So, how do I install my printer? I might add that the HP instructions that I was following (OSX v. 10.9 Mavericks- Installing and using the printer on a Mac) are what got me this far.

    Have you installed the v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver yet >>  Software & driver downloads HP PSC 1350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
    After you download the driver, open System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Print
    Delete the current printer by selecting it then click -  (minus)
    Then click + to add the printer back in.
    That should load the driver for you.

  • XP software disc does not work on 8.1 HP PSC 2355v All in One Printer

    Please excuse my novice actions in the subject description as I put my problem and request there. Basically: My XP software Disc will not work on my Windows 8.1 computer for my HP PSC 2355v All In One Printer.  Needless to say I can print with a downloaded driver but can not use the Managerial software on the XP disc.   When I try to work from the printer it does not recognize the computer, so  is there HP software out there that can be downloaded simply to my computer? If  so, Where and How can I get it. Thanks again.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately no more support after Vista but you can use basic function of the printer using the following instructions:

  • HP PSC 1210 all-in-one pen failure issue

    I have an hp psc 1210 all-in-one printer and recently replaced both print cartridges.  Then, when I went to print it said that i had a pen failure.  I then discovered online that this could be because of dirty cartridge contacts, so I cleaned them as instructed.  After allowing them time to dry, I returned them to the printer and plugged it back in.  However, now the printer will not turn on at all.  What is wrong with my printer?

  • Hp psc 1315 all-in-one printer

    I have installed a hp psc 1315 all in one printer on my new Mac OS X version 10.9.5.
    While I can print without any problems, I don't have access to scan a document from the printer to my computer.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thank you.

    Hello @annlf 
    Welcome to the HP Community!
    I hope to help you with the scanning concern you have today.
    Unfortunately, you will not be able to scan using HP software with your PSC 1315 (older model), on Mavericks (newer OS X), as there is no Full Feature driver (includes scanning software) available.
    However, you do have some other options to scan. See this link for your options. Scroll down when the guide loads and select "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?"

  • Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer

    Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer:
    I had a paper jam and cleared the paper from the printer.  Now every time I turn the printer "on" it picks up the top piece of paper from the tray and runs it about ½  to ¾ of the way thru the paper feed, stops, and then displays message "paper jam clear paper and then press OK".  When I do that it simply picks up the next piece of paper off the tray and does the message again.  If I push the OK button on the printer it will simply finish the ejection and then pick up the next paper from the tray, and do the same thing.  I have examined the interior (and exterior) of the printer for paper scraps and  any other obvious sign of trouble (dirty drive wheels, missing rollers, broken springs, etc...) and can not see anything unusual. I can not print a test print because of the paper jam message.  I am running Windows XP and the printer has been working fine for months (until this recent jam).  I did all the steps from the HP fix it site including clean rollers, plug and unplugged,  carriage travel OK and more. Don't know what to do now........Any help would be great!!!!   Thank you!

  • Scan Control from HP 1210 All in one Printer/Scanner

    I now have Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
    Used to have 10.4.11
    We have an HP 1210 All in one printer/scanner.
    With 10.4 there was a very clear and user friendly utility provided by HP that enabled good scan control.
    It enabled multiple choices of destination filetype and multiple pages scanned into a single document.
    Now I have 10.6.
    I have done S/W update both with printer connected and disconnected.
    I have been offered and have downloaded the latest version of s/w from HP.
    Nowhere on my Mac is there a file that has any name like HP, Hewlett Packard or PSC or 1210
    The utility is there somewhere because I can print, and, if I have the printer active, I can use the utility to check ink levels etc.
    However the ONLY scan facility is the Mac IMage Capture.
    This only does single pages and only scans to jpeg.
    What do I have to do to get my full scan control facility back and active as provided by HP
    Steve B

    steve.br wrote:
    However I repeat, There is no s/w that the system can find that is labled HP, Hewlett or PSC or 1200. Not in applications or Utilities or anywhere I can see.
    If I use the Finder File Find utility I can search for files with any of those attributes and nothing related is found.
    Path should be HD/Library/Printers/hp
    Within the hp folder are several folders with one titled "Utilities" and within that folder is the application HP Utility
    Path HD/Library/Printers/hp/Utilites/HP Utility
    Since it's to be accessed from the System Preferences Print & Fax tab/pane/icon or within Image Capture, that is why those files are not in the Applications folder nor Utilities folder. It is not to be launched directly, i.e., double clicked. Be careful accessing files in the main Library folder (i.e., HD/Library/).
    FYI: I have all those folders on all my computers each using a different OS even though the only HP printer I use is a 1995 Laserjet 4MV.
    I Have just done a test using the SystemPreferences Printer area and get sent to the Image capture function.
    So, that was after clicking the Scan tab in System Preferences > Print & Fax? It's most likely using the HP Software that you noted downloading in your original post. It is not using some phantom software.
    I want to be able to save a multiple page document file in .pdf format.
    I use Acrobat Professional to scan as PDF with a Brother multifuction device that is equiped with a 30 page auto document feeder (ADF). Since the HP 1210 is a flat-bed scanner, it seems that your wish can be achieved by scanning and saving each page as separate documents and then combining those documents. I cannot remember whether Apple Preview in 10.6.x offers combining PDFs but there are a number of freeware and shareware apps that can.
    Is there a conversion capability that would convert from .jpeg to .pdf
    Apple Preview, Adobe Photoshop, GraphicConverter are just a few apps that come to mine.
    Thanks for your help.
    You're welcome. A lot has changed since Mac OS 10.4.11. Hope the above helps too.

  • Does hp support a HP psc 1500 all in one printer

    I can not print in black.  I've re uninstalled and re installed my printer at least 6 times,  can not find my printer which is a HP  psc 1500 all in one listed therefore I used software for 1510 all in one.  It prints all text in light blue.  I've tried changing my printing preferences many different ways.  Nothing seems to correct this problem.  I've run a test page and it printed  two lines in black( black print read HP PSC 1500 series and my serial number on the second line)  and 3 color blocks and the rest was small squares and small lines in 3 columns. My frustration level is at an all time high.  I've literally spent an entire day trying to fix this problem.  Please help before I do something RASH.  Thank You, Greta2

    Hey @greta2,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I understand you're having a print quality issue with your HP PSC 1500 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you in resolving this and have some steps that may improve your print quality.  You were correct in using the 1510 All-in-One drivers as they are compatible with your printer.  Additionally, you were very diligent in approaching the problem from a software perspective - this rules out printer settings as being the most likely cause of the absence of black ink in your printouts.  
    From what you're describing with the test-page printout, I would recommend that you troubleshoot the issue at the hardware level.  For starters, click on the following article heading and work your way through Steps 2 through 6 to better diagnose the issue:
    Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
    As I suspect your print diagnostic page (Steps 3-6) will be lacking black ink in some parts as before, proceed with the following steps:
    Run the clean print cartridges utility
    Open the Printer Toolbox. There are two ways to do this:
    Open HP Director (or HP Solution Center), select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox.
    Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel, then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties. Click on Printing Preferences. Click the Services tab, then the Service This Device icon.
    The Printer Toolbox opens. On the Device Services tab, click Clean the Print Cartridges , then follow the on-screen instructions. Up to three levels of cleaning are available. Discard or recycle the page that prints.
    Clean the contacts
    Gather the following items to clean the cartridge and carriage:
    Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available. Tap water can contain contaminants that damage the cartridge.
    Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
    Sheets of paper or a paper towel to rest the cartridge on during cleaning.
    Open the cartridge access door and wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
    Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
    Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
     NOTE:Do not leave the cartridges outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes. If the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long, the ink can dry and clog the nozzles.
    Dip a clean foam-rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from it.
    Clean only the copper-colored contacts
    Figure : Clean the contacts
    Copper-colored contacts
    Ink nozzles (do not clean)
    Repeat these steps for the other cartridge.
    Lightly moisten another cotton swab with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.
    Use the swab to clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer on the carriage slots.
    Figure : The electrical contacts in the cartridge slots
    Wait 10 minutes to allow the cartridge and carriage electrical contacts to dry.
    Reinstall the cartridges.
    Close the cartridge access door.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
    Try to print a page.
    If you are still unable to print, repeat these steps to clean and reseat the cartridges. Multiple cleanings might be necessary to restore printing.
    Black cartridges only: remove and rest for two hours
     NOTE:The procedure below will not fix missing lines or streaked bars printed by the tri-color, photo, or gray photo cartridges, or other color printing problems. Only perform the steps below if the black print cartridge has printed defective patterns, or if you notice non-uniform black text darkness.
    In the black print cartridge, this problem may be caused by sediments collecting in the nozzle area. Follow the steps below to solve this problem:
    Remove the black print cartridge.
    If the carriage has a latch, relatch it and then close the printer - this is important. If the printer is not closed, it cannot adequately protect the remaining tri-color cartridge.
    Place the cartridge on a level surface with the nozzles up (label down).
    Figure : Cartridge with the nozzles up
    Allow the cartridge to sit undisturbed for two hours.
    Reinstall the cartridge and print another self test page.
    Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
    Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
    Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
    Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
    On the Devices Services tab, click Print a Diagnostic Page.
    Look for defects on the page.
    If the self test page shows no defects for the black cartridge, and if the cartridge was new, align the cartridge. To align the cartridge, follow the steps below:
    Load fresh, white paper.
    Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
    Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
    Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
    Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
    On the Device Services tab, click Align the Printer.
    If the cartridge was not new, there is no reason to align the printer.
    If the page still shows defects, go to the next step.
    Replace the problem cartridge
    If a cartridge replacement was not tried previously to solve this problem, replace the problem cartridge now. Click here (c00206040) (in English) to see if the cartridge is covered under warranty.
