Mac OSX 10.9 and HP Officejet Pro 8100 Compatibility

Can we please get a driver for the HP Officejet Pro 8100 that is compatible with the Mac OSX 10.9? I bought the printer so that my roommate and I could share it to print wirelessly, but I am unable to do that without a compatible driver. Please develop one as soon as possible!
Thanks!

Hi,
The Drivers are available via Apple Software Update,
In order to configure it wirelessly you may use the HP Easy Wireless Install app.
You may find a step by step guide in the following document:
h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=4337543&spf_p.tpst...
The app iself can be downloaded from the Mac App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-wireless-setup/id876495880?mt=12
If you experience any issues while trying to locate the pritner during the wireless configuration. restoring the network defaults for the printer can be done by pressing and holding both the Cancel ( ), the Wireless ( ), and the Power ( ) buttons for three seconds.

Shlomi

OSX 10.10 and HP Officejet Pro 8500A not working

I updated my operating system to Yosemite OSX 10.10 and now my printer will not print or scan. When the click on the HP Utility it can not find the printer. I looked in Finder but folder for HP is gone. I went on HP's website but there are not drivers for version 10.10. I tried to download a driver for previous version of OS X but it says not compatible.
How do I get my printer back up on-line?
Thanks for your help.

The HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X should help, or Software Update.

Borderless printing with Adobe reader or acrobat and HP Officejet Pro 8100

Hello,
When printing borderless with my Pro 8100 the printed pdf moves about 2mm to te left on the paper. (White vertical strip on the right side is the result and on the left side something is missing!).
What causes the problem seems to be that the HP Pro 8100 printsoftware makes the A4-format a littlebit larger (214,55 x 300,91) than an actual A4-format (210,00 x 297,00) when you choose borderless printing.
Therefore, I suppose that the pdf shoud be centered before printing. Adobe reader doesn't seem to have the possiblity to center the page however.
Any tips?

The borderless printing option is intended to print photo's on photo paper. When printing borderless the print is slightly oversized to eliminate (or reduce) to chance for white edges due to media skey. Depending on your operating system you may have a setting in the Advanced tab of the driver for Overspray, set this to minimum and see if it helps.

How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work. I had HP on the phone for over two hours and thought it was fixed. Now it just will not print at all.

How can I get my HP Officejet Pro 8100 to work.
I'm using an iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) running Yosemite. I spent hours on the phone with HP who did their best and thought they had solved the problem Now it has stopped printing completely. Just says 'idle' or' connecting to printer' but never does.

Greetings paulr.paulr,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to print from your Mac running Yosemite on your HP Officejet Pro 8100. I know that printer issues can be very frustrating, but I believe the information in the attached article will be able to assist you. I would suggest reading over and systematically working your way through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the following article. If any issues arise as you work your way through the steps, or if you work your way completely to the end and reset the printing system and the issue continues, please let me know.

Problems with officejet pro 8100 and Lion?

I just bought a new HP Officejet Pro 8100 Wireless and I have not been able to get it to work correctly. It's hooked up and all the software seems to work but it prints very, very slowly. It takes about 2 minutes to print a color page. Is there some known problem with OJPRO8100s and Macs with OS X Lion on them? I downloaded v12.14.0 of the printer package from HP, uninstalled what came with the printer, and installed the latest and greatest. Didn't make a bit of difference.

Mac OSX Lion on a Retina MacBook Pro (2014)

Hi,
I need to install Mac OSX Lion on a Retina MacBook Pro (2014) on a second partition. I have the installer for Lion and everything, but I'm not sure if it will work on such a new mac. Any experiences?
Thanks
Marco.

It won't work. You can't install an older version than the Mac shipped with.

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7. Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore. I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton. Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

Software Conflict between HP G4050 scanner and HP Officejet Pro L7700 all-in-one

I have a Sony Vaio pc, OS Windows 7 HmEd 64-bit (updated), using Norton 360 (updated).
My pc and a Mac are both connected wirelessly to the Officejet Pro L7700. My pc is connected to the G4050 with a USB cable, as the G4050 does not have wireless capability.
The conflict is: (I initially had L7700 installed on my pc, and all was well) After installing the G4050, all worked for a while, then I go to print/scan, and receive error message that neither machine can be found, (though both are installed). So, will uninstall and reinstall one or both machines. It works fine for a while then, then same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times in a year. There is a conflict with the sofware of the 2 machines. All other software on my computer works fine, and if I'm using only one of the HP products all works fine - the conflict is the software for these 2 HP products TOGETHER.
1. Is it possible to successfully use both of these machines installed on a pc?
2. Do I need a patch, or how can I make this work?
Currently, I just have the L7700 installed and working great, but very soon I need to (again) install the portable G4050 to scan negatives and prints.
Please help! I love HP products. How can I get these 2 to work together? If not, what else can I do?
Thank you in advance for a prompt response.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you cannot get your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and HP Officejet Pro 6600 printers to work on Windows 10. And, I am happy to help! According to this guide, Windows 10 Compatible Printers, both printers are compatible with Windows 10. So we will need to do some troubleshooting steps in order to get them to work. Some questions for you: To verify both printers hardware is functioning standalone, are you able to make copies using the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.Do you see any error messages on the computer screen or any of the printers display screens? In the meantime, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and post the results! Hope to hear from you soon! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Can I print in black and white with an empty color cartridge on a HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer ?

Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all of the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cyan cartridge online but I need to print important documents today. The power button is blinking when I try to print.
I don't understand, black and white should not use a color cartridge to print.
Is there a trick so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge ?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing. It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage. Hope this helps.

HP officejet pro 8100 not printing documents when asked, and slow to respond.

My Officejet Pro 8100 has allways been used wireless. It allways had a lag when asked to print and producing the document. Often the unable to connect to printer message comes up, then shortly latter it started to print.
We have now switched to Vergin Media ISP. The printere was set up to the new network as before no problem. The router is lacated downstairs by by our TV where the cable enters the house. Our 2 pc's are now wireless due to this (one windows XP and one Windows 7). Then there's Ipads etc.
Conectivity is not a problem the pcs are located in our study with the printer upstairs. My Ipad works in the Garden so theres plenty of range. All devices are on the same conection.
The problem with slow printing is now worse. Ask to print and often nothing happens. Switch printer off/on and it may print the last comand of not. It may accept the next command to print or not. Indescrimnently it may print 'misssed prints' at any time.
Basically it cannot be relied on to print when asked to, really frustrating!! The printers wireless indicator is lit its conected to the network. Any ideas as this is a real pain. Remote printing from a phone is a no go as it probably wont happen.
We need to print and it happen.

Hello @Ants9,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the slow printing issue that you're experiencing with your networked HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter from your Windows computers and other devices. I understand that this issue began with your original router and now is occuring with your new network. I am going to run you through some troubleshooting steps below to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Run Print and Scan Doctor:
To verify that your printer is properly detected on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers I would like you to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computers and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, connection, or software conflict be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
Please click here to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Please download this Tool on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers.
Once the Tool has completed, please test printing again. Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Powercycle Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few minutes the internet connection will return. Please check on your Windows computers and ensure that you're able to browse to websites before continuing. Once the network is up and running again please test printing to check the printing speeds.
Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Update Firmware:
There is chance that corrupted programming in your printer could be causing the slow printing issue. Therefore, I am going to have you update the Firmware Version on your printer.
Please click here to download the latest programming on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Follow any onscreen instructions to send the Firmware Update to the printer. This update can be run from either the Windows XP or Windows 7 computers.
Please test printing again to verify if everything is now working as it should be.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

HT5527 If I have both Mac OSX for laptop and desktop, and iPhones/iPads with OS 5 and later, does a single purchase on one of them cover all of them?

If I have both Mac OSX for laptop and desktop, and iPhones/iPads with OS 5 and later, does a single purchase to expand iCloud on one of the devices apply to all of them?

Yes, it's icloud's storage you will be expanding. All devices logged into an account will be able to use that storage.
