New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried  MacBook using ethernet).
This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP,  is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.  
Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

Thanks for the replys.
After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

    I open Word documents on my Mac using Pages and textedit without any problems.
    I also have a copy of OpenOffice and it can also open Word documents without any problems.
    Could you please provide more details on exactly what you mean when you say you having troubles opening Word documents? What kind of troubles?

  • I just restored my Mac HD from a time machine back-up and PS 4 Will not open. I get an error code 150:30. Any Idea what I should do ?

    Photoshop's licensing information might have lost when you restored it to new HD. Re-install Photoshop CS4 and enter the same serial key for PS CS4 which you used before.
    In case you need the download link for PS CS4, you can get it from here. Download CS4 products
    Let me know in case you still get any issues.

  • I want to use iMovie 6 on my new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It won't download. Can I download Snow Leopard instead and use iMovie 6 with that older OS?

    I have a MacBook Pro I recently purchased 'cause my old G4 just couldn't output my video films properly. My new MacBook Pro is running 10.7.5 OS Lion. Don't like iMovie 11 and want to use iMovie 6. It won't download on Lion. Could I download Snow Leopard (deleting OS 10.7.5) and use iMovie 6 then? I saw a previous thread that said that could be done.

    AppleMan...I have the same iMac you have...i-7 16GB with a SSD....just bought it second hand and it is about 1.5 years old....it was maxed out with upgrades when the original owner bought it.  It was also restored back to factory settings prior to me taking possession. 
    I am making home movies in iMovie 11....max length 30 minutes or less.  I am totally new to this editing.  I am using HD footgage filmed from my Hero GoPro 3.  I am finding that the movies that I am creating are skipping, staggering, hanging up etc...usually where I had transitions.  I am certain I have enough power and memory in my iMac, so what's the issue?  I read one of your other posts about optimizing each event or clip to 1080p?  Is this what I need to do for every clip I import?  Can I do this for all the clips at once on import?  I also read that I may need to export the movie to quick time for smooth playback?? 
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
    Sincerely,

  • Installation fails on new Macbook Pro

    I am trying to install CS3 on a new Macbook Pro Retina 13" with Mavericks. All of the CS3 apps except Photoshop installed correctly. Photoshop fails and when I try to launch it returns a message that it cannot be initialized because the disk is not available. I have tried reinstalling it and the installation fails. I tried launching the old copy from the previous computer's disk (now in USB enclosure) and I get the same error message. I tried copying it over to the new HD without success. Tried phone support and they won't help because it's an older version. CS3 is supposed to be compatible with Mavericks. Since the older copy and the new installation return the same message, I suspect (just a guess) some software issue, perhaps prefs or other files copied over from the old installation.
    Can anyone help me figure out what the issue is, and how to go about installing PS successfully?
    Thanks!

    Mike, that did the trick. I trashed the entire Photoshop CS3 Settings under the existing account, then created a new user and installed from there. Installation was successful. Then I went back to my existing account and it launched fine from there as well. A new Settings folder was created automatically and I'm good to go now. This was a huge relief - I was stressing. Also, I'm not sure if it's the performance of the new computer or if the prefs were the issue, but it is lightning fast now. It launches in a couple of seconds whereas on the older machine it was taking a couple of minutes. I really appreciate the help!

  • Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

    How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer?  My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC.  I just switched to mac.  The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP.  HP has no software drivers for me to download.  Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software.  However, there are no updates when I try that.  I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use.  Help!!!

  • Error 6 - Transferring Photoshop CS4 to new macbook pro

    I'm in the process of changing transferring everything over to my new Macbook Pro. I uninstalled photoshop CS4 on my old laptop but when I tried to install it on this laptop a box popped up saying I needed a certain Java application (can't remember which) which it searched for and downloaded for me but after it finished and I clicked to install CS4 it said that my computer needed to be restarted and if that didn't solve the problem to contact support and let them know I have an error 6.  Hoping someone can help me out. Thank you in advance!!

    Try downloading a fresh Mac CS4 installler.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro wont turn on

    If you ever wondered if there's anything worse then buying a new macbook pro, waiting two weeks till you receive it only to find out that after you unbox it, slowly and carefuly, connect it to the MegaSafe Power adapter and hitting the On key it will not turn on or even respond then I can honestly say, I've never felt disappointed as I do now.
    The green LED on the power connector ain't shinin aswell.
    I've tried several power adapters, didn't make a change.
    I tried connecting a MacBook power adapter and the green LED turned on, then faded to black after about 10 seconds.
    Nothing's going on the screen when i press the power button and the power adapter seems to work properly.
    Other then slitting my wrists, what can I do? what could be the problem?

    Im currently in the middle east and bought it in Canada, then sent by xpress(air mail), so I can't do that.
    Any other suggestions?
    Repairing it frightens me, by going to a premium reseller and leaving it there for them to fix it, even if I get new hardware, do you think it will have any effect on the device?
    I don't trust them here tempering with my baby

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • Trackpad not working on brand new Macbook Pro 15" not retina,

    I've just got from UPS my new Macbook Pro 15" not retina. It's the basic model, without upgrades.
    I've plugged it in and turned it on to go through the setup assistant, but I had to do it with the keyboard and an external USB mouse, because the internal trackpad is not responding at all. Is it normal?
    Thanks!

    That was the first thing I did. They told me that it was normal, but I don't believe them. They told me to wait until installation was complete and perform updates, and try after that. That's what I'll do, but I suspect I'll have to have it replaced.
    Right now I'm migrating my old mac to this one. I'll update as soon as migration is complete.

  • Importing iTunes library from old powerbook to new macbook pro

    What is the best way to import my old itunes library (from my 10.4.7 powerbook) to my new macbook pro?
    Thanks!

    I'm still having some trouble, can someone give me guidance? Here is what I did:
    1. Connected old mac (PowerBook G4) to new mac (MacBook Pro) via firewire 800 and target mode.
    2. Located "iTunes Music" folder on old Mac and pulled the entire folder into "iTunes Music" on the new Mac.
    3. I restarted.
    4. iTunes didn't find the new music, it does find the one song I've purchased using the new Mac. I think this makes sense, because now the folder structure has an embedded "iTunes Music" folder (from the old Mac) in my new mac's "iTunes Music" folder. The structure looks like:
    -iTunes Music
    ----[folder for the one song I've purchased on the new mac]
    ----iTunes Music (this is the folder from the old mac)
    ---------[folders of music from the old mac]
    5. So I went into the iTunes Music folder I just imported, selected all the music, and copied it one level up.
    6. The result is on my new mac, my "iTunes Music" folder now contains all the music from the old mac, plus the one song I've puchased using the new mac.
    7. I restarted my new mac. Restarted iTunes, but still the only song that's recognized is the one I've already purchased. The others aren't showing.
    8. I've gone into preferences/advanced and confirmed I'm pointing at the right target folder.
    Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?

  • I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software

    Hi!
    I'm new to the Mac world and I need to install windows on my new Macbook pro for running my flight simulator software which only runs on windows. I would like to purchase and download the windows 8.1 rather than buying the CD.
    When i go to the microsoft store and click windows 8.1 it says it is only for who has windows xp or vista...
    can you tell me where and how can i purchase the full installation 8.1 for download?
    i will keep the ISO file on my flash drive.
    Thanks!
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    it's likely an upgrade you are looking for and not a full install of windows
    http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/get-the-iso-you-need-to-crea te-your-own-windows-81-dvd/
    if you get it as an iso file then you need to burn the iso file to a optical disc to install it

  • What add-ons do I need on my new Macbook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro was recently stolen so therefore I will be needing a new one very soon. I just graduated from college with a Digital Filmmaking major and a Marketing minor. I hope to break into the film/tv/commercial industry soon, obviously with an entry level job on the production side. Any advice on hardware/software configurations, or any 'must-haves' for my new MacBook Pro?
    (I would just go to an Apple store but the closest one is over three hours away) 
    This is my first post so please forgive me if there are any flaws.
