Lost Deskjet 5740 printer driver after upgrade.

Lost Deskjet 5740 printer driver after upgrade. HP site has a download but it does not appear in the driver list after downloading it. Ideas?

Okay, as of last night, both the printers are working fine. I uninstalled the 5740 and then tried several different rearrangements of the two printers. First I tried hooking the 5150 to the AEBS and it printed fine. Then I tried hooking the 5740 to the AE and it printed fine. Finally, I tried my original configuration with the 5740 hooked to the AEBS and it printed fine! Very frustrating.... I'm not sure if Apple sent an update I downloaded in the meantime that fixed the problem or what. I can't think of any other possible explanation.
So to recap, I can vouch that I have an HP Deskjet 5740 connected to an AEBS and an HP Deskjet 5150 connected to an AE, all set up on a WDS (wireless distribution system) with Leopard and everything works as expected. Hopefully your printer magically started working again as well Bibycat.

  • HT1338 Do I have to reinstall my print drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost both my printers and my ability to download from my camera. Never had problems with 10.7. I'm a little scared.

    Do I have to reinstall my printer drivers after upgrading to 10.8? I seem to have lost the ability to communicate with either of 2 wireless printers and to download pictures from my camera. (Photoshop keeps telling me it can't find the device.) Any suggestions?

    Have you repaired permissions and restarted your computer after installing ML?  Checked your printer settings in System Preferences?
    If Software Update does not list any updated drivers for your model printer, you should go to the printer's manufacturer website and download the drivers from there and/or contact their tech support to determine if your printer is compatible w/ML.
    Read the various Knowledge Base ML printing articles.  Here are a few to get you started: 
    OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a USB printer
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot an AirPort printer
    If none of the above work, post back w/the model of your printer and how it's connected to your computer.  USB?  Wireless?

  • HP Deskjet 5740 Printer acts like it's printing, but blank pages come out.

    I have an HP Deskjet 5740 printer. It has worked until recently and now when I try to print it won't out of any applications. It acts like it's printing, but pages come out blank. When I do a test it works or when I try on my work mac it works as well. So I know it's not a printer problem or USB cord. I have tried to reinstall the driver and also to "repair disk permissions," but to no avail. Thanks for your help!

    Take out one of the cartridges and make sure you pulled off the tape covering the head and pin hole. I haven't dealt with Epson printers for a while but I remember buying cartridges for one of my printers that the tape always seemed to peel off leaving the hole plugged.
    If this isn't the problem then it boils down to two things: bad cartridges or printer problems. Different printers are susceptible to two different problems; dried ink in the ink lines and air bubbles. You can try cleaning again and again, using the power cleaning mode if Epson offers that. This wastes ink but you have little choice if you want to resurrect the printer. If this doesn't work try returning the cartridges for a refund and see if that works.
    Three simple rules tend to keep inkjet printer problems at bay: print something at least once a week. This will keep the ink from drying out. When the printer tells you ink has run out get a new cartridge. This will reduce the chances of getting an air bubble in the line. Buy ink only from reputable vendors and don't fill your own.

  • Printer Problems after upgrade to Lion

    Does anyone have this printer problem after upgrading to Lion. A perfectly functioning laser printer on my network prior to upgrade - now the network seems to drop the printer and show it as "not connected" approximately every 30 minutes ???

    Hi Paul,
    Been away and just got back to this issue.
    Thanks for the info. The OKI site has now posted a list of all their Printers and their relative drivers for compatibility with "Lion". My machine is due an updated driver from OKI in Mid Decmber according to this notice.
    Meanwhile, as the printer does work with some tweaking I guess I will use the work around until the new driver is available. My legacy printers that i use for special jobs both work and as I do not have the disks for their drivers I am loathe to re-set the printer system at this time.
    Thanks for your assistance in this issue.
    Regards,
    Mike, Rustington.

  • My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2

    My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2, someone with the same problem? Just think when I enable the 3G, soon followed falls again.
    I have already put another chip carrier and the same problem happens, my phone is factory unlocked.

    Had same problem with iphone5 6.1.2 update. First tried reset network settings and didn work... Support recommend me a restore and ended up in recovery loop with iTunes error (-1)
    Been at my carrier store (Optimus Portugal)... and iPhone sent to warranty. After 2 macbooks, 1 imac, 2 appletvs, 2 iphones, 1 ipod... I find disappointment with apple reliability....
    At least the support guys at Optimus Portugal were very helpful and friendly, but I'll be 15 days without iPhone...

    why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

    JGC wrote:Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.
    i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx

  • Lost my HP deskjet 3512 printer function when upgrading to Windows 8.1 - can't get it back!

    I lost my wireless connection from my Hp A6 Vision lapptop to my HP 3512 deskjet printer when I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I'm told it is installed but it is not responding.  I'v tried following instructions and even using the Hp wizard to get it up and running.  Is it even compatible with 8.1?  What do I need to do? 

    Hi @periwinklejoy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you lost your wireless connection to your HP Deskjet 3512 after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I am happy to help!
    The printer is definitely compatible with Windows 8.1. As there are drivers available at this website, HP Deskjet 3510 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    I would recommend the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software. (In case there are old drivers still installed, if not then carry on to the next step).
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Then follow this guide, Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
    Hope this helps you, and thank you for posting!

  • Printer problem after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    My trusty HP Deskjet 1200C printer keeps giving an error now I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (on the way to Lion for iCloud). I checked for an upgraded driver on the HP site but there doesn't seem to be one after OS 10.6
    I am getting this error - PrintJobMgr failed
    Any suggestions welcome and advice for what will and won't work with Lion.
    Thanks

    Try to restart, see if problem still happens.
    If it does.. remove printer (and other periferals) from the computer and do an SMC reset. Also unplug your printer's power as well to rest it too.
    Also, do a PRAM reset.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Okidata printer errors after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

    Immediately after upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I try to print with my Okidata C330DN color laser printer will NOT print in color.
    I get this message:
    "The Print Dialog Extension could not be loaded because it has not been updated to run in this application's secure environment".
    I contacted Okidata, who said "give us a week" to update the driver.  Well, they updated their driver, I just installed it, and get THE SAME ERROR...

    This is because of sandboxing, and Okidata will need to release another driver that handles these permissions issues. You can try printing from a non-sandboxed application like Safari, if that helps.

  • Printing problems after "upgrading" to Snow Leopard

    Under Leopard my two printers (HP Deskjet 970 Cxi and Epson Stylus Photo 2100) worked just fine.
    With Snow Leopard the quality of the prints with the two printers is simply bad. The print-driver is: gutenprint v5.2.3 even an upgrade to gutenprint v5.2.4 did not make any difference.
    When printing a test page with the Epson Stylus Photo 2100 the printer simply pauses during the print somewhere along the test page. When the printer is started again (green button in the printer window) it starts printing from the beginning again and pauses again. Useless!

    Eric,
    For the Deskjet, I'd suggest using the Leopard drivers (off of the Leopard DVD). They will give you much better quality printing, although you'll have to deal with lack of features printing from 64-bit apps. The easiest way to work around them is to print through Preview an force Preview to run in 32-bit mode.
    The other option would be to install the [HPIJS|http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macos x/hpijs] drivers.
    Just trying to help.
