My printer has disappeared from my devices and fails to reappear

Hi all,
Please can anyone help?
I have a Mac running os X 10.6.8. I have A C8180 printer. All linked through my wifi.
All was running fine until last night when my printer disappeared from the computer. Nothing had been changed or updated. My last print job ran fine and completed fully.
Now I have tried to find my printer and no luck.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled - nothing.
I have downloaded the latest driver from the hp website - nothing.
I have restore the factory settings on my printer then linked it back to the wifi. It log on but isnt seen by the computer.
What has happened?
Thanks in advance

Hello Charlie1974uk. I understand you are experiencing issues with your printer on Mac 10.6.8. I would like you to verify and repair disk permissions. Here are instructions on how to perform this task:
a) Double-click the Macintosh hard drive icon on the desktop.
b) Click Applications, then Utilities, and then double-click Disk Utility .
c) Select the Macintosh HD directory on the left side. The directory is indented and is usually the second entry in the list (or very close).
d) Click Repair Disk Permissions. It will take a few minutes to complete.
e) Once it completes, close it.
When these steps are completed, restart the computer and then empty the trash bin.
Restart the computer again, try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software. If this task cannot be performed, attempt the same steps on a different user account.
If at the end of these steps you realize the issue is not resolved, you will need to contact Apple support for further troubleshooting.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • My Ipod nano 6 has disappeared from my devices and also from my programmes on my computer. I have done everything it says to do in the troubleshooting. Does anyone know what else I can do?

    My Nano 6th gen has disappeared from my devices in itunes and also from programmes on my computer.  I have tried all the troubleshooting and it has not fixed it?

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

    Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

    Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash.  Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
    Install new MAS app -

  • Printer has disappeared, Network function gone and Bluetooth does not work

    About 3 or four days ago Software update informed me there was no software to updated. After installing my iMac G5 quit photoshop and QuarkXpress nonstop. In the past when I had problem like this I would just erase the hard drive and re-install all software.
    I have re-installed all software 3 times including the printer software yet my iMac G5 does not recongize my HP Color Ink Printer cp 1700. In the past I would see bonjour and it would have my HP Color Ink Printer cp 1700 listed.
    About a year ago I purchased an AirPort Extreme to allow my three macs to share one printer. In the past I would click on the network icon and a window would pop up asking to connect. BUT after the update clicking on the icon does nothing. In the past I did not have to do anytype of setup. I discovered the network function by mistake. BUT I got used to have access to documents on my other machines. And sharing documents. So I would like to network function return.
