Mac can't install USB/Ethernet extension Officejet Pro 8610

For some reason I keep getting this error, "The system extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." during the driver install from my Mac to my new Officejet Pro 8610.
I installed the drivers for my new Officejet Pro 8620 on a different computer and had no issues. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please try repairing the disk permissions as following:
1. Open the the Applications folder.
2. Go to the Utilities folder.
3. Double-click on Disk Utility.
4. Select the hard drive containing the boot volume.
5. Go to the First Aid tab and select Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This process may take several minutes depending on the Mac and amount of permissions that need to be repaired. The Progress Log will indicate when the process has been completed.
Next, go to Computer (click on Finder, then select Go > Computer)
Select your active boot volume (will more likely be listed as Macintosh-HD)and then navigate to System > Library > Extensions. locate the AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, copy it to your desktop (for bakcup porpuses) and then delete it from the extensions folder.
Next reinstall the latest software below and check for any change, if the issue been resolved you may delete the backup file from the desktop.
Please let me know if that helps,

Failed to install Officejet Pro 8610 over Ethernet on Windows 8.1 64-bit

When attempting to run the installation of Officejet Pro 8610 using wired Ethernet connection the setup quickly lists the printer with correct IP and MAC address but when this is selected takes ages in the "installing" state and eventually displays a graphic indicating that the connection is broken.
I have tried disabling firewall (ESET) and a clean boot, and have downloaded latest software.
The printer is connected using a cross-over internet cable, can be pinged and obvious is detected by the setup program.
Attempting to install using WiFi has the same results, ie finds printer but then fails (although I haven't retried this since downloading latest software or with a clean boot).
FYI the printer will work when connected using a USB cable. (has been disconnected and software uninstalled before re-trying above). Don't really want to use this as the printer will be too far from normal working position. Wifi would be preferred but cabled Ethernet would be OK.
Also printer works OK via Wifi using e-mail.
Computer is a HP ProBook 4530s which has recently been upgraded to Windows 8.1 Professional x64 with no other significant problems.
Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere but couldn't find any replies which refer to something not already tried.
Thanks

Downloaded and ran the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows as suggested, still did not work. Here are some screen shots of what happenned
Right Click on Open File Location (step 3) opens the window in the previous screen shot.
I never saw any of the items in step 4, but double clicking the shortcut that was displayed started the same installation process that always fails, see following screen shots. Note I disabled the firewall while running this.

How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

Ok so i recently bought my first ever iMac.
And i installed logic studio on it, but I am considering a Mac Pro because honestly; i love my iMac but i kind of just want this imac for 'personal' things (movies, music, family photos, videos ect.)
and I want a Mac Pro just for logic and any other PRO apps I buy later on. So i was wondering if anyone can help me with the question i have;
How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This License does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time.

I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can I install the same license copy on mac ?

I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can I install the same license copy on mac ?

Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..

Hi, I have the Creative Cloud through my school and have it installed on my Mac, Can I install it on my PC as well or do I need an additional membership?

Hi, I have the Creative Cloud through my school and have it installed on my Mac, Can I install it on my PC as well or do I need an additional membership?

Aaron,
That should not be an issue. If you are using creative cloud, you can install the apps on your primary computer and one backup computer. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for example, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information. Read more in the Creative Cloud FAQ

I have an hp account. I am installing a new hp officejet pro 8600 to my apple lap top. I need help

I already have an hp account. I need help with installing my new hp officejet pro 8600 to my mac lap top. what is this printer's claim conde # where do enter this code that I received. I need help

Hi pwestra,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to install your Officejet 8600 printer to your Mac laptop and then setup the ePrint feature of the printer.
The first thing we need to do is to connect the printer to your wireless network. This can be easily accomplished from the front panel of the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard. If you are unsure how to do this, the steps can be found on page 225 of your User Guide in the section titled “Set up the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard”.
Now let’s get the printer installed onto your laptop. Please follow the steps in Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network for the version of Mac OS X that you are running on your laptop. You should now be able to print and scan wirelessly.
To setup the ePrint feature of the printer please start by following the steps in Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with the claim code you can use it to claim the printer and then Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
If things go awry while following the above, please let me know at what step things went askance and the contents of any error messages.
Regards,

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Add Printer issue on Mac

I purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8610 and cannot get it successfully set up on my MacBook Pro (operating OS X 10.7.5). During the "Add Printer" phase, I receive the following error message: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I've downloaded and completed the steps up to this point by using the link from install CD (HP-Officejet-Pro-8610_v12.32.0.dmg) and by downloading after unsuccessfully troubleshooting from the HP webite (HP-Officejet-Pro_8610_12.32.0-2.dmg).
Can you please assist in determing what my next step should be?

Hi,
First reboot your Mac, then click the Apple icon and select Software Update.
From the listed app store click the Store menu and then on Repload Page.
Be sure to install any listed HP or Apple update.
Once you are done, open Print & Scan and try adding the printer again.
May you see any difference?

Cannot print locally on OfficeJet Pro 8610, but I can print via web service

Hello,
I just installed an OfficeJet Pro 8610 with the downloaded install. I found my printer on the local wireless network and it connected. I cannot print anything from my Windows 8 HP laptop! I print from Word (or anywhere) and I says completed, but nothing prints. I can even see the print spool and it looks like it goes through, but nothing prints. I even tried direct USB connection with the same problem.
I can however print from the web using the ePrint (email to the printer), but that is impractical.
This is a weird problem.
I had a friend connect using their computer and it worked (wirelessly) and I can even print from my iPhone locally.
This points to the HP laptop - I have removed the printer, reinstalled the drivers, ran all windows updates, reboted (computer and printer) multiple times and the same problem persists.
Please help - very frustrated and ready to return the stupid printer.
This question was solved.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!
Thank you so very much! Now I can get back to work!

Can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts.

can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts (10.6.3 retail). Lion installer starts normally. What's a problem?

I have the same trouble, I try installing rEFI but when I try start my Pro from DVD doesn't recognize.
Can I start from USB Memory? with files from SL DVD? or have some thing else?
I have original DVD of SL 10.6.3, if I buy the latest stable version, can I install? or the EFI firmware with Lion change again?
I try to use Lion, more than one week but I can't, and some app that I use for my profession, doesn't work, I really need downgrade to SL.
Really Thanks for any help.

Driver can't communicate with new officejet pro 8610 for scanning

I just bought a new officejet pro 8610. Followed all directions and set up with wireless connection. Prints fine but will not scan. Will not work if used at control panel on printer or software. First tried it on a windows 7 machine. Just tried on a new windows 8.1 machine - same problem. Very frustrating. Have done the HP scanner doctor and when it gets to driver it says scanner driver can't communicate to product. Used disk and then went to HP web site and downloaded latest software and drivers - still does not work.
I'm about ready to take the printer back but am open to any ideas.

Hi @ecsteve
It is possible you have a firewall or antivirus that is blocking the scan communication. Printing is considered outgoing and is not considered a threat, but because scanning is incoming communication, an antivirus or firewall could be blocking it to protect the computer.
If you have Norton, take a look at the following link; I cannot configure or access a network printer or other devices after I install my Norton product.
I found this in a post by @Norton_Support . If you have a different Anti Virus program, let me know and we will work through this together to come to a solution. Thanks.

Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years. I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore.
Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue. I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.
I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!

Hello @Celestialnova ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems with your wireless network.
I would like to help.
Since the same issue happened with two different model of printers, lets take a moment to check the network.

Can I use Replacement Printer ink cartridges for HP officejet Pro 8610

I recently purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. I previously had an 8600. They both use the same ink cartridges. I had just installed some remanufactured 950 XL and 951 XL cartridges in the old printer and tried to use them in the new printer. Of course I got an error message that cartridges weren't HP but the printer would still work. I would like to know if I can use other remanufactured ink cartridges with the new printer or if there is some way for the printer to allow me to use other ink cartridges as the HP cartridges are way over priced for the consumers. I hope there is a person out there that is conservative like me and tries to find the best bargains on everything. Your solutions would be appreciated. I waited on HP Support Assistant for 10 minutes with a dialogue I would be connected to a technician in less than a minute. They must have been on break or some other excuse, so I thought I would try this instead. Blessings. John Richardson

Hey @rockhoundjohn
Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.
QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability.
Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely
70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem
Count on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference. - Source
Most people think, 'well of course that is what HP or an HP representative would say', but I have done some research and found that many others have too. Here is a perfect example of somebody who does not work for HP in any way and basically is a customer advocate (in my opinion) ; Should you refill your printer’s ink cartridges? HP says no (of course) By Matthew Murray
I found the above article interesting and genuine.
My personal recommendation is to buy the HP XL cartridges as they are more cost efficient, and be mindful in the printer you choose when buying an inkjet. The 8610 was a good choice. The expected page yield of the HP 950XL High Yield Black Original Ink Cartridge is 2300 pages. The regular size cartridge page yield is 1000, still good but the XL is by far a better value. Some of the Photosmart printers or Deskjets are great for what they are intended for, but do not have as good of a cost per page.
HP's recommendation; Keep in mind that page yield is just one component of cost, and that factors such as quality, reliability, productivity, and efficiency affect cost as well. Products that work reliably will ultimately save you time and money. When you choose an inkjet printer, make sure you consider your individual printing needs.
- Source
To summarize, again, yes you can refill the cartridges. The printer is not programmed to reject them. Sometimes the cartridges will not work and of course because they are non HP, HP would not be able to do anything to help. HP cartridges have a 2 year manufacture warranty; Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges and Customer-Replaceable Printheads for HP Inkjet Supplies, this may give you comfort knowing HP stand behind their product.
