Laptop always looking for e-printer? Using up all my memory!

In the task manager window on my computer, I see that there is a process that does not end that keeps trying to find the e-printer when I'm away/undocked near the printer.  Is there a fix out there for this?  A way to turn it off?   I'm running out of memory .  Thanks

Hi kat61,
Thank you for the detail. Please try disabling the Scan Activation to resolve the issue. Use the steps below to disable the Scan Activation.
1. Open the HP software by clicking on the desktop icon or by opening it from the programs folder <All Programs>HP>Product>
2. Navigate to the Heading Scanner Actions in the software and click on the link titled Manage Scan to Computer
3. Disable the activation and uncheck the box to automatically restart the activation when you log back in.
Keep the scan deactivated unless you need to scan, at which time simply enable the activation by reversing the steps above.
Set ink alerts to show only when you print if it is not already. To do this, open the HP software and click on estimated ink levels.
The printer toolbox appears - Select the advanced settings tab
On the advanced settings tab, make sure the default is set to 'Only show me ink alerts when I print'. Let me know if that has any impact
You will need to uncheck the box that states re-enable after computer restarts / reboots automatically

    I am looking for a printer for my daughters apple laptop, any suggesstions

    What are your daughter's needs? Is she a professional graphics artist needing a high quality printer, or is she a middle school student who just needs to be able to print a report for school? There are printers available for just about every need but they vary widely in price.
    I have a Brother black and white laser printer that has served me well for many years, and only recently got a HP color inkjet printer because I need to do color flyers.
    Let us know more and we'll be glad to help you.

  • When i ask my macbook air to print it tells me it is looking for my printer it takes several minutes before it finds it and then prints, why is that as my wife is connected to the same printer in the same way (bluetooth) and hers prints straight away

    As per my question, when i ask it to print it tells me it is looking for my printer this takes several minutes before it prints.  my wife is in the same room using an imac also using a bluetooth connection to the same printer and hers prints immediately.  why is this.

    Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue:
    *How to Reset the Printing System*
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
    4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again.

  • Looking for sample code using "first_tab" and "next_tab"

    Looking for sample code using "first_tab" and "next_tab". How is it used with ItemID within a dialog box? I've read the reference books - don't understand it.

    Hi Ray,
    There are several ways to do this, and in the example I created, I actually did not end up using shift registers. I've attached some example code that basically multiplies the period by the duty cycle percentage to achieve the number of milliseconds to be high and low.
    You would just need to insert your DIO code in each frame of the sequence structure.
    Hope that helps. Kind regards,

  • Looking for pages designd using iWeb

    hi and greetings from germany,
    i'm looking for pages designd using iWeb to get an impression how it is working. I would like to build pages with text and i would like to know if it is possible to change or delete the placeholders for photos in the templates.
    sorry - i can only use that english i learnd at school long ago ... ;-))

    http://www.happyadam.com
    The URL above points to my iWeb - spent a couple of hours with this over the weekend. It's quite flexible - takes a little getting used to (if you've used Pages then it's similar). There's not many templates but it's a good starting point.
    The worst thing is the .Mac servers - they're very slow for hosting these iWebs as many others have found.

  • IMac Mail always looking for mail...

    Mail is always looking for new messages - how do I stop it? It is constantly grinding away, trying to find new mail. Force quit stops it, but as soon as I open Mail again, it begins looking for mail to load. New messages come through okay, but it doesn't stop after they are loaded.

    Thanks, but I did that - selected 'Manually', then Force Quit. When I reopened Mail, all was quiet. It wasn't looking for mail. Then I clicked on 'Check for new messages'. It downloaded new messages and kept on spinning, looking for others. It doesn't stop. I don't know why...

  • Looking for a specific data in all the cubes and ods

    Hi Gurus
    "i am looking for all the cubes/ods that contain a specific Controlling area(lets say 0123) and a specific 0plant (lets say plant 4567), now i can go down to every cube and ods and search for it in its contents but i have like hundereds of cubes it will take days, is there a simple way to look for some particular data in all the cubes/ods, and it tells me which cube/ods contains these plants and controlling area."
    <b>now based on this above post i got a reply that abaping can help.</b>
    "you could write an ABAP where you call for every InfoProvider function RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC like
    loop at <infoprov-table> assigning <wa>.
    call function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC'
    exporting
    i_infoprov = <wa>
    tables
    i_t_sfc = i_t_rsdri_t_sfc
    i_t_range = l_t_rsdri_t_range
    e_t_rfcdata = l_t_rsdri_t_rfcdata
    exceptions
    illegal_input = 1
    illegal_input_sfc = 2

    illegal_resulttype = 10
    x_message = 11
    data_overflow = 12
    others = 13.
    endloop.
    i_t_sfc should contain 0PLANT and i_t_range the restriction on you plant value.
    with a describe table statement on l_t_rsdri_t_rfcdata you can get the hits.
    check test program RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_DEMO for details
    best regards clemens "

    After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

    <u>'''Kill Application'''</u>
    In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the <u>'''Processes'''</u> tab?

    '''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
