New iMac, new HP all-in-one - will they be compatible?

I am new to Macs, and loaded Leopard as soon as I got it. Immediately after, I loaded the software for my brand new HP C4280 all-in-one. All seems fine except the scanner - I get a message indicating that the USB is not connected, or a message that no Image Capture device is found.
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks, Kepp

Welcome to the Mac platform. I have a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One running under Leopard and the TWAIN driver doesn't seem to work with other applications. For example, when scanning in Photoshop or Image Capture it will either not recognise the scanner or crash the application when it does.
Firstly, you need to make sure that you are using the latest software from HP. I think version 9.1 is the latest for your C4280 printer. If you haven't got the latest, uninstall all the (HP) software and install v9.1.
Secondly, don't use Apple's Image Capture, just use HP's Scan Pro which works well under Leopard.
I hope this helps.

Since I downloaded Snow Leopard on my iMac, my HP all-in-one C7280 scanner will not work. It says "scanner not found, scanner could not be initialized". Any ideas?

Hi,
I suggest uninstalling the printer drivers from your HP printer. The go to System Preferences> Printer & Fax and in the printer list box go ahead and reset the printing system. Do that by right clicking over the printer list box ad the option should appear. After that close system preferences and reinstall your printer drivers from the HP CD. After installation check if your printer works as expected, if it does, stop here and ignore the rest of the message.
If you don't have the install CDs for the printer or the previous step does not work; connect your printer to your Mac via USB and then again go to system preferences. Open the Print & Fax menu and in the printer list box you should see a "+" sign. Click on it, and a new window should appear with a list of printers that are available to you. If that's the case, go ahead click your printer name and wait for the computer to look in the Apple servers for the drivers. When searching is finished click the "install" button. This process will open software update and install the neccesary drivers.
After that, you should be able to scan documents with the Preview App.

My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time. This is especially disconcerting at Christmas time when you're trying to get Christmas letters in the mail! Any help?

The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged. I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here. If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...

looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC 1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
Hope this helps.

A new IMac, old xp pc, Linksys and a new Hp All in one...now what?

Someone please point me in the right direction. I need to share all the functions of the HP all in one, printing and scanning with my new mac and old xp PC. Sharing files will be nice as well. At this point all will be hardwired. I may add a PC notebook wirelessly in the future. The Imac and the pc are hardwired to the router ( Linksys WRT54G Version 2). At this point I can access the internet fine. The printer HP CM1312nfi MFP is still in the box.
What do I do next. My router is out of warrantee and Linksys will not help. Apple care tells me to call Linksys and HP says the same.
I need a simple step by step guide that I can understand. I have been searching the internet for days and I simply give up?
Please help.
Thanks in advance!

1) Which one will run best?
2) How do I upgrade?

It's probably cheaper to buy a new printer & sell the existing on on ebay.

My new HP all in one computer was recently connected to our new Photosmart 7510 printer. It worked

I own a one month old HP Omni 220 PC (all in one). The operating system is Windows 7. It is connected to wi-fi network in the home. The Internet portion works fine. And, for about 30 days, it would print to our new wi-fi connected HP Photosmart 7510 just fine. Today, it will not print. Our other computers connected to the network print just fine. So, it's not the printer, or the wi-fi. Can you tell me what might have happened within my PC, and what I need to do to fix the problem? I tried restarting the PC, and the printer but that didn't fix the problem. There have been no recent changes to the software or hardware configurations.
Thanks,
Bill
