My HP printer stopped scanning after the HP 2.7 Update.  How do I roll it  back?

I upgraded to Lion and my new HP Photosmart Premium (C309g) worked great until the HP Printer Software Update 2.7 came down.  Since then, whenever I try to scan anything in Preview, Image Capture, or the printer itself, the scan window sits at "Scanning document 'Document Name'" forever.  The progress bars come and go, but it never finishes.
I talked with a useless half-wit at HP and he told me to wipe my Mac and Time Machine backup and reinstall from my recovery CD's.  (Too bad my recovery discs install Tiger!)  I told him that wasn't happening, and he had me reset the printing system, which did nothing.
How do I roll back the HP 2.7 update?
Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7.1 today didn't solve the problem.

I was hoping for a cleaner solution, but Time Machine to the rescue.
I removed everything under /Library/Printers (except PPD's) and then restored the rest from my first TM backup after installing Lion.  That and a reboot fixed all of the printing problems.
However, I tried the same trick for the /Library/Image Capture folder, but it didn't work.  It at least remembers my scan settings now, but the scan still hangs at some point in the beginning, usually on "Scanner is warming up" or the first piece of "Scanning document name."
Also, for cleanliness' sake, I removed the HP 2.7 entry from the InstalledSoftware.plist file, and told Software Update to ignore it.

  • Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

    AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

    Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
    %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
    %AppData%\Adobe\Common
    Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.

  • My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?

    My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?
    If its not possible, how do I go back to the old  os?

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

    Thanks for your reply,
    I 've checked that thread.
    It seems that since then, OKI has acknowledged the issue and has instructions on their site
    (which I had followed during setup, so the printer was working until now)
    http://www.okidata.com/mac-mavericks-driver-support
    When removing the OKIHC004.plugin file, I get this message
    You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
    Another issue is that on OKI's site, my model is no longer listed when searching for drivers to download!

  • Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

    Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
    I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
    I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
    I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

    I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

  • Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.

    Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
    I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
    Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
    And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
    Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time  but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
    Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
    I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
    I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
    Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???

    If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

  • TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod and it stopped moving before the restoration was completed. How do I re-set the ipod. I can't turn it off.

    How do I turn off I pod touch?   The restore screen is stuck

    Thanks for the assistance.  I was able to restore my I pod after letting the battery run down.  I then synced the I pod to my new computer.  Most of the songs moved from the cloud to the actual I pod drive.  But, many of them did not.  I tried downloading them from the cloud on my I pod, but this didn’t work.  Will I be able to restore the missing songs?  Thanks, Cleveland.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go
