My MG3500 stopped working. It still copies, but won't print from my computer any more.

I have an MG3500 printer stopped working wirelessly. I set up the printer and it worked fine. Then, suddenly, it stopped working. I send something to print and it says there is a printer error. I tried to set up the connection again several times and each time it tell me that the printer cannot be detected on the network. Nothing has changed except that it no longer will print wirelessly.

Hi steamboatvail, You can try reinstalling the latest printer drivers available from the Canon USA website to see if this will restore the connection between your printer and the network. Before reinstalling the drivers, please ensure that the wireless setting of the printer is enabled by following these steps: 1. Press and hold the Stop button until the Alarm lamp flashes 18 times. 2. Release the Stop button. 3. Press the Color Start button. After following the above steps, please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MG3520. Once on the initial download page for the printer, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED DOWNLOADS" section and click the FULL DRIVER AND SOFTWARE PACKAGE file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the file, please double-click on it and follow the prompts to reinstall the printer drivers. Should you still experience difficulty after reinstalling the drivers, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

HP Photosmart 7515 says it is connected to wireless network but won't print from anywhere.

My HP photosmart 7515 used to work on my network. I could print from iphones and my mac mini. Now it says its connected, it has the IP address 10.0.1.3 and everything on the HP network configuration page says it is functioning normally, but the printer can't be reached by any device and I can't open it in my browser when I type the IP address into it. I've tried powering it down and unplugging it but at this point I am at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that I ran a Mackeeper fast cleanup of extraneous files recently and perhaps something was removed that needed to stay. I don't know. I tried installing the HP utility for Mavericks (my current operating system on the Mini) but that can't find the printer. I tried typing in the IP address manually but that didn't work either.
When I try to connect to it through eprint it says that it is connected but says there is a problem with the printer. What's the problem? It says it is unspecified and to see printer front panel for information on resolving the issue. Where on the front panel? I have no idea.
Happy to start from the beginning but this is really becoming a pain. Why doesn't it work?
Help! David

FIrst of all, get rid of Mackeeper, it will cause more problems that it will solve. To uninstall it, open it and have it uninstall itself, then restart your Mac.

An error occurred when printing - cant print from internet or pdfs, but I can print from InDesign. Any thoughts?

For some reason I am no longer able to print from the internet, or pdfs.
In Firefox and Safari, I get the an error saying "Printer Error: An error occurred while printing."
In Acrobate Pro I get the error "The document could not be printed."
I even took a screen shot, but I'm not able to print from Preview.
I recently used Font Nuke to clear my font cache. Could this have caused a problem?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try clearing the print queue ...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Click Open Print Queue
Delete all jobs then restart your Mac. Turn the printer off then back on.
Try printing a pdf file.

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!! Janice

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes

Firefox has stopped working in Windows 7 but works in Windows safe mode

I am sending this from a different computer on which Firefox works fine. My problem is on a Windows 7 PC -- in the past few days Firefox has stopped working in normal mode but works ok in Windows safe mode. I keep getting a Windows error message that it has stopped working and I will be notified if there is a solution. Of course, I am never notified. I have tried resetting Firefox when in Windows safe mode, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, after having deleted all the program folders and appdate. I've exhausted every possible fix I could find in the Mozilla support forums but I still can's solve the problem. Can you help please?

Update to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working. Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working, Same with scanner

Help....
Updated to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working.
Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working.
Same with F2100 scanner
Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
Steve

None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

Streaming radio just stopped working Firefox version 8, but I can get everything else. Add on's are up to date. I can't recall if it happened after the Firefox up date or after listening to last.fm or what! How to fix this?

Streaming radio just stopped working Firefox version 8, but I can get everything else not on stream to work. Add on's are up to date. I can't recall if it happened after the Firefox up date or after listening to last.fm or what prompted it. How to fix this?

I installed-enabled MS win media player firefox 1.0.0.8, i still did not get streaming, error box comes up and says 'stream load error', the 'windows media test' thing did not work, i tried iheart radio-no luck, so i disabled win media player plug-in dynamic link library 3.0.2629 and tested and still did not work, i also have plug ins: silverlight 5.0.61118.0 and quicktime 7.6.9 7.6.9.0 enabled. I don't know why all of the sudden i have a stream problem with firefox, yesterday, i tried on IE which i never use and had no problem with it. i will try to do more trouble shooting and see, its really frustrating, if can't figure out, i guess will have to revert back to IE which i really don't want to do, but---oh well. thx for help.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub
