MacBook Running OSX 10.7.4 Can No Longer Find Printer on Linksys Router

I am SO tired of trying to work with this piece of (*$& printer it's RIDICULOUS.  Printing worked a couple days ago, but won't work today.
I have uninstalled the complete HP package and reinstalled it with drivers, nothing.
I have connected the printer to my MacBook with the USB cable and it finds the printer, but when it comes time to configure the wireless network and unplug the USB, it no longer finds the printer.  
I went onto Apple's website and downloaded the HP print software and drivers, nothing.
I have attempted to add the printer using IP address, nothing.
I have turned off, turned on, unplugged, plugged in printer SEVERAL times, nothing. 
I have tried to add the printer by way of IP address using Jetdirect, nothing.
SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THIS STUPID PRINTER TO BE SEEN BY MY COMPUTER OR I WILL BLAST HP ON EVERY MAC FORUM I POSSIBLY CAN.  I spent $150 on this printer 2+ years ago and could print, scan, fax just fine.  For about 6 months or a year I can no longer fax and the scanning is touch and go.  Printing since about 6 months after I bought the printer has been touch and go as well.  I don't enjoy spending $150 and then wasting HOURS of my time trying to figure out why the printer won't work with my computer.
Tell me what will work so I can make it work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had EXACTLY the same frustrating experience with my MacBook OSX 10.7.4. Uninstall, reinstall, logoff, reboot, download new drivers, reinstall etc etc. Such a waste of time. My printer worked fine for 6 months, then suddenly it stopped.
Hopefully someone will have some idea of how to resolve this issue, other than to advise to uninstall/reinstall!

  • Can no longer find Printer on Windows network

    I had a connection to the HP LaserJet 4050 at work and accidentally deleted it. We have a Windows network. I remember using the Windows Printing option before, but the printer no longer shows up when I select Network Neighborhood. The only thing that shows up is workgroup. Here is what I remember doing before:
    - Bring up Print & Fax in System Preferences
    - Click + to add a printer
    - Select Default Browser
    - Click More Printers
    - Select Windows Printing from the top pop-up menu
    - Change Workgroup to Network Neighborhood in the pop-up
    Someone else has tried this with his Mac here at work, and the above steps worked. He has a Mac Book Pro 17". I am running a Powerbook G4 15". If it matters, I set up the printer on my system back when I was running Panther; this is the first time I have tried adding the printer while I've had Tiger.
    The only thing I have gotten to work is the hint on MacOSXHints (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051204134420783). While this did work, I do not want to have my network password in my printer preferences (or wherever they are kept).

    Yes, this could have happened after any number of updates, since I'm almost positive that I added the printer under Panther. This first came to light with OS X 10.4.6. I do not know when I first saved the printer, but I know it was prior to Tiger. Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been a different computer, too. Where my older computer was Panther and my new computer is Tiger. I do not remember exactly how I dragged over my user folder from the backup. I may have updated it to Tiger before copying it over to the new system. Of course, if the printer does not come over with my user prefs, then I must have set it up under Tiger.
    I cannot say for sure if the IP address of the printer has changed or not. However, connecting it to the other Mac worked. At the time, we both had 10.4.6, although his is Intel and mine is PowerPC.
    The name of the printer has not changed nor the location. The name consists of two letters and underscore and two more letters (e.g. ab_cd).
    I have tried having a connection to the server where the printer is located and trying to add the printer while it is connected. I was hoping that, with a connection, the software might be able to find the server.

  • Can't load Yosemite, MacBook running OSX 10.7.5

    I have a Mid 2007 13-inch MacBook running OSX 10.7.5 and I'm unable to load Yosemite. I get the following message:  "We could not complete your purchase. This version of OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer." My Mac is up-to-date and it has 18 GB of available space. Anyone know why I can't get this loaded?

    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) Your model is a Mid '07
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

  • How can i download an older version of pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    i would like to download an older version of the pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    If you previously bought Pages from the Mac App Store, click here and follow the instructions, or go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.
    If not, buy an iWork 09 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

    You can run iPhoto 9.2.3 with the system you currently have. It's available thru iLife 11 as Niel has already mentioned.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
    Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
    1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
    2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
         If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
         If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
    2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
         Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
    3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
    4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
    5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

  • I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  Running 10.10.1.  What happened to it?  Where did it go?

    I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  It is not in the menu under the Apple logo.  It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
    Can someone please explain what happened to it? 
    Where did it go? 
    Why?
    Thank you!
    Storm Petrol

    The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

  • I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

    i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

    Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
    To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

  • I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

    I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

    iPhoto '11 is working well.
    The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
    To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.
