Mac-connected with USB - RFU LOAD ERROR-send RFU UPGRADE - Mac will not see printer driver

Here's another question about this seemingly well-worn path.  I've been researching this issue for about 5 hours and have only found a couple of solutions that are purported to work. 
I have an apple laptop running 10.9.4 (mavericks).  My 5200tn was formatting some print output differently than the HP driver suggested that it would (landscape vs portrait etc).   The first tier tech person at HP suggested that I need a firmware update.    
BIG mistake.  It appears that the mac and the firmware update do NOT play well together. 
I tried using the driver to 'upload file' with the latest firmware.   I simply got the 'beach ball' on the mac for a long long time. 
I powercycled the printer and now I have this common status message - RFU LOAD ERROR etc.     NOW the printer can't be seen by the mac.   Any suggestions?     I tried a cold reset - no luck.  I tried to reset VRM - no luck. 
Thanks in advance.

  • My mac connects to the Internet fine, but Sarfari, chrome, and Firefox will not work. Nor will programs that connect to the internet

    This problem has been going on for a few days. my computer connects to the internet fine and runs fine, but none of my Internet browsers will work. I have deleted all my history, cache, cookies etc. For all browsers. I have also made sure that i have no proxies on and that no firewall is blocking my Internet. I have ran virus scans to look for malware and nothing comes up... I'm very confused.
    For chrome I get errors like "err_socket_not_connected", "err_connection_closed", and "err_empty_response"
    for safari it just says "safari can't open the page because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server"
    please help me if you know anything! Thank you in advanced

    I understand that you are unable to use internet on any program that connects to the internet.  This sounds like the issue would be with your internet connection.  Try going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes.  All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App.  They all did before.  Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes.  Any Ideas?

    Installed a new Windows PC on my home network.  PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit.  My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now.  None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on.  All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app.  When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code.  I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices.  You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to.  Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before.  However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV.  Growing fustrated.  Any ideas, would be helpful.

    You are a legend!!  I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!!  I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!!  Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
    Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

  • Iphoto starts when iphone connected with usb to Macbook

    After I upgraded to Yoesmite, I have a problem with Iphoto and Iphone. Iphoto starts whenever my Iphone is connected with USB to my MacbookPro.
    I often use USB connection so that my Iphone is charged while working outside my home. So it is quite annoying that Iphoto starts up everey time I connect mye Iphone with USB. I want to work and is not interested in Iphoto to clutter up my work and memory usage.
    What can I do to prevent Iphoto from loading.

    Yes all you have to do is open iPhoto on Macbook & select iPhoto Menu Preferences>Connecting Camera opens: "select" NO Application.
    Now if you want to send photos from your iPhone & you have iCloud-photos sync turned off, you'll have to open iPhotos & re-select iPhotos
    in Preferences again.

    Have you tried any of these soundcards designed for 2.0?
    The 3.0 port is categorically designed to be comoatible with all 2.0 devices. The port itself will adapt to the usage parameters of the device.
    But if you really want to downgrade, then simply plug any 2.0 hub into a MBA 3.0 port. The ports on the hub will be 2.0.

  • Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

    Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to 3.6.6

    I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.
