MP460 scanner reset to printer

My MP460 printer is now recognized as "scanner" by my Mac (System 10.6.8) after I recently scanned some documents and now when i want to print, my Mac doesn't recognize the printer, only a scanner device, and returns a message "Printer offline" and I don't know how to remedy this situation so I get my printer back! Help!!

Hi,
yes, I was able to change the format to landscape using
att name att value
S_LZPL_SETUP '^FWR'
This command was on the first window(just once) and that window and every subsequent window rotated 90deg.
the windows need to be set up accordingly. This was messy.
hope this helps
regards
Ann

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! It seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!

The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?

The HP C4480 all in one series PRINTER that I got free with my i-Mac is printing TINY print despite that my computer is set at 13 font Helvetica. How to reset the printer to normal print?

HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
I am open to questions or suggestions
Thanks,
Chet

After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

Cannot print from mac OSX 10.5.8 to my HP B210 - I already reset the printer - HP utility won't open

When I try to open the HP Utility - it just sits there and does nothing - I have to force quit.
And my printer is not printing from my mac. My wife can print from her PC laptop. We use Netgear.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If that does not work, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page and re-install.

HP printer and Firefox 4.0.1 not talking....prints from Explorer fine..help, I have reset the printer in config and updated all plugins...still not working. I want to use firefox but can't if I can not get this issue solved.

I have tried the obvious....CP and made sure the correct printer was selected and it wasn't set to print to file. I then did the about:config and reset the printer. I have also updated all the plugins with none of the solutions working.
Please help...I really don't want to have to use Explorer everytime I need to print something.

How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!

How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!@

I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people. It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it. So make sure that all your software updates are up to date. Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it. You might want to check on the HP site also.
It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

I have already reset the printing system after my Epson workforce 600 keeps saying "filter" stopped in the print queue...

I have a Epson Workforce 600 all-in-one printer and it will STILL not print anything after the Mountain Lion upgrade. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Apple's site, tried to print thru TextEdit, it connects via Verizon Wireless 4G hotspot Wi-Fi network, printer is getting signal, macbook picks up nearby printer and installs and configures it, but when looking in Print and Scan, it shows printer is "Idle". Then when you try to get computer to communicate with printer via configuration utility, it says "communication error." What else can I do??

OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system

HT5137 i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost colore to gray and stopped responding

i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost color to gray and stopped responding.? most of the pop up boxes will also not respond why?

Thanks Winston, restarting my router worked for me too. Seems that somehow the DCHP (maybe due to the Mountain Lion upgrade?) had assigned the same IP address to both the AppleTV and my iMac. The AppleTV stopped appearing as an AirPlay device for my iPhone and Mac, but still the AppleTV had Internet access.
Restarting the router reassigned IPs and without fanfare, the AppleTV is now available to AirPlay.

I have a printer canon mp495 and I'm trying to connect it to my iPad. But my iPad can find it the printer. Do I have to reset the printer or what app do I use?

Printopia is Macintosh-only. <Printopia for Macintosh>
Another program that is available in both PC and Mac versions is FingerPrint. <FingerPrint>
For either program, your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.

I've tried resetting my printer setting and nothing happens!! HELP

I have a serious problem with my MacBook reading any printers. Every printer I've hooked it up to it doesn't read. Then I got a printer for Christmas and installed it and when it gets to the part where it asks to turn the printer on and plug it into my computer (and I do all of that) it says it can't find it. My USB ports are good, I plug my camera, iPhone, and iPod into them all the time. The USB cable is good. I've tried hooking my girlfriend and my dads printer up to my laptop before and it doesn't read it. I've reset my printer settings from the printer menu and when turning it on. The only printer that ever worked on my computer was the one @ work which is hooked up through the internet so the only thing that was plugged into my computer was the internet cable and I do believe that it only worked once. Any way, at the moment I do not have money to buy the Protection Care for my laptop and I really really need to be able to print.
Can someone please please help me? Thanks!

That's really strange. I have a much older Mac and it still recognizes any printer I can throw at it, no drivers or anything.
I'm not sure what you've tried already, so excuse me if I repeat something you've already done.
1) Connect both ends of the USB cable to the printer and computer.
2) Turn on the printer
3) Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
4) Click the little + icon underneath the printer list
5) Your printer should pop up in the resulting window
6) Select your printer, wait for the driver to load, and click add
7) That's it. You shouldn't need any drivers whatsoever
If that doesn't work, you may not have the printer services installed right. Try putting the Mac OS X disc back in, and clicking on Optional Installs. When you click the customize button, it should have a category called Printer Drivers or something. Make sure everything in there is selected. I'm not sure if you can just install them like that, you may need to boot up from the CD and upgrade again.
I hope this helps.
What make and model printer do you have? If none of the above works, this could be important. Also, have all of the other printers that you've tried been the same brand?

Printer work only like scanner-forgot printer driver or something

Hi.

Reset your printer so that it will accept the cartridges that are available in your new country.

I Have an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 e-All-in-One Printer which uses HP 670 cartridges when I was at Best Buy in Arlington VA, looking for cartridges no one ever heard of them so we found HP 564 which list Deskjet 3525 as one of the printers they can be used but I get the the following error messages 'Incompatible Cartridges' when I was looking in the HP support web site i came accros the following coment "HP will not supply new replacement cartridges for your printer, but will help to reset your printer so that it will accept the cartridges that are available in your new country." so can my printer be changed to use HP 564 cartridges.

Hi there,
I understand you're having issues with your HP 3525 printer. I will certainly do my best to assist you with these issues.
You can perform a hard reset on your printer to help get rid of the ink depleted error. You can also try the steps in this cartridge troubleshooting document. These steps will hopefully rid your printer of the depleted ink error if it's a false error.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Error 0x61011bec: I am unable to print. Reset the printer, but porblem still persists.

Dear Sirs,
Both a new hp officjet 6500A printer on Friday 24th of june. Installed first the software (with USB kabel) on my Desktop (Windows XP software system) and encoutered a problem error 0x61011bec. Resetted the printer but the problem still persist. Installed the software then on my netbook (including connecting the printer to my netbook) but the error remains.
Please would like to know if I have to return the product to the store, or is there an alternative solution.
Regards,
S.Wilson

You need to take the covers off the printer and replace the small round battery on the board located down inside on the left side of the printer.I just did this repair and it worked! We all know batteries don't last forever, The battery number is 2032 I bought mine at a auto parts store they are used alot in car key remotes. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any help, The Inkjet Qween! ;o)
