Is anybody using an HP LaserJet 2550 with OSX Lion 10.7?

I am using OS X Lion 10.7 on my MacBook Pro. I installed my HP LaserJet 2550L color printer but the color isn't right. Any suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time... but didn´t resolved the problem. I downloaded both installers (drivers and SMU), check in software update and download the update for the HP drivers.... all of that with the plotter connected via USB...

  • How do i get the driver to use an HP laserjet 5mp with my Mac that runs Lion?

    how do i get the driver to use an HP laserjet 5mp with my Mac that runs Lion?  I'm told by HP to get it through Apple updates but it doesn't show up. 

    The term "server", while technically correct, is misleading.  A print server takes the low-level protocol spoken by a printer and serves it over a higher-level protocol.  For example, parallel printer port (a.k.a. Centronics or IEEE 1284) and serve it over USB.  Or parallel or USB and serve it over Ethernet with a variety of printing protocols (lpr/lpd protocol, JetDirect protocol, port 9100 protocol, the names are confusing).
    In reality, a print server looks nothing like what we usually associate with "server" (which is typically a biggish computer).  Instead they usually look like adapter plugs or even adapter cables, or like a little network hub (just with printer connectors instead of network connectors).
    Here are a few examples (I'll use Amazon as a guide book, without implying that I endorse them).  Let's start with USB to parallel; it seems they tend to look like adapter cables.  Here is one that takes a USB plug (male) and creates a female port that you can plug your regular old printer cable in: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-To-Go-16899-IEEE-1284/dp/B000UX21PY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1333640548&sr=8-1
    And here is one that goes from a USB plug directly into the printer: http://www.amazon.com/Parallel-Printer-Adapter-Connect-parallel/dp/B000BV8604/re f=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1333640548&sr=8-4 replacing the old printer cable.
    Then there are (really cheap) Ethernet to printer adapters.  Here is one that you put into the printer (warning, the plastic cover will probably not fit afterwards): http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC-TL-PS110P-Single-Parall/dp/B003CFATR4/ref=sr_1_ 11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1333640755&sr=1-11 By the way, I really don't like this type, I always find them unreliable.  But they are cheap.
    The ones I like look more like a network hub. Here is the NetGear PS110: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-PS110-parallel-Ethernet-100Base-TX/dp/B0002AF9JU/r ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333640860&sr=8-2
    And the HP external JetDirect: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/18972-18972-236253-34214-64302-273 16.html?dnr=1&jumpid=reg_r1002_usenc-001&lang=en&cc=us (I think this is the best one of the lot).  Both of those you put next to the printer, use your existing parallel printer cable, and connect them to the network.  Don't get scared by the astronomical price of the HP; it's commonly available used.
    There are even some wireless models around.  In theory, you might be able to use a parallel-to-USB adapter cable and then plug the USB cable into your trusty Apple Airport (as a good Apple fanboy or fangirl you've bought an Airport, right?), but I don't know whether that will work.  With the HP JetDirect box I'm quite certain that it will work (but it's old-fashioned, doesn't come in white, doesn't do wireless, and is not the slightest bit hip or cool).

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

    HI. ...
    Anyone know of any issues with using Logic Pro music software with Mountain lion OS..
    I have heard rumours in the past is that all sorted now?

    At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version

    Why not just Upgrade to 10 6 8 which is Snow Leopard...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)
    Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/

  • With OSX Lion, how use Spotlight to know the way to a file you are searching ; formerly , with Snow leopard you had only to let the arrow pointer on the name of the file , but now on Lion it didn't work, how to do ?

    How to know the way to a file you are searching in Spotlight with OSX Lion ?

    You are right, the way to the file appear down the virtual picture, near the title of the documents ; it is a little more complicated than in Snw Leopard , but it works
    Many thanks from France

  • I'm trying to use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion how do I go about that?

    How do I use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion?

    Restart with the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys pressed and held until you see a spinning globe. This boots into Internet Recovery and the Apple servers. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that was pre-installed on your Mini.
    To restart into the Recovery HD, press and hold the COMMAND+R keys until you see the Apple logo. This boots into Recovery Mode from your internal drive's Recovery HD. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that is installed on your Mini.

    No, it's not Lion. It may be something you installed. If you just bought it you could also take it back to the Apple Store and they may be able to help.

    Hello.  I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC.  Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

  • Has anyone found an app that will check programs on my computer for compatibility with osx lion?

    Has anyone found an app that will check the programs on my computer running Snow Leopard for compatibility with osx lion?  Thanks
    Ken

    No app needed, just go into your Utlities folder and click on System Information (it could go by another name). Click on Software and then Applications. Wait a minute for it to load and then check for anything that says "PowerPC" instead of Universal or Intel. PowerPC software will not work in Lion. With my 100+ apps, none of them were PowerPC.
    Note: You may have to resize the System Information window to see the operating information.

    is airplay mirroring possible with mac with osx lion?

    It is a feature of ML not Lion and only if you have a fairly recent (2011 or later, check first) Mac.  Airparrot app will do the mirroring on Lion for a couple of bucks.

  • Anybody Using Logic 9.1.6 with a Novation Impulse keyboard controller?

    I can't get it to work at all and have been working on this since Friday. I get an error message upon Logic bootup stating;
    I've done this dozens of times to no avail. As an aside, I have a demo version of Cubase, and got it to work perfectly with the Impulse controller within 5 minutes.

    Sorry, the error message reads;
    Please ensure that all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on. If this is the case, please check the MIDI port setting of device "Automap Mixer". If this is correct, click "Reset All MIDI Drivers" in Preferences > MIDI > General.
    Automap is the Novation controller software, yes?
    You might have to go to Logic's "Control Surface" pages and setup Automap/Impulse in that area. Preferences/Control Surfaces  -or-  Logic Menu/Preferences  there are several control surface selections.
    Also, you might want to check the Novation website for setup hints using the Impulse and Automap with Logic.
