Laser jet professional utility doesn't work (Mac OSX 10.7)

I've been having connection issues with my LaserJet P1102w lately so I decided to try to set it up for wireless connection (instead of USB). I found that the Ulitity (HP LaserJet Professional Utility), when launched, doesn't do anything.
The application has a generic application icon. It shows "HP LaserJet Professional Utility" in the menu bar, but no window opens up, and there are no options under the menu.
I have tried removing the utility and reinstalling. I have updated the firmware through an update. I have used Apple's Software Update to update the drivers. However, nothing happens when I launch the utility.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Ideas?

Hi @bldxyz ,
I see that you having issues with the Utility not opening, to setup the wireless network on the printer. I can help you with this.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page. Select Method two.
Leave the USB cable connected. Delete the printer from Printers and Scanners and add the printer back in again.
Try accessing the Utility again.
If you are still having issues opening the Utility, please do the following.
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, Computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, it should open up the Embedded Web Server for the printer to configure the wireless, then click the Networking tab, click Wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected and alpha or numeric is chosen) Apply settings.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer in about 1 minute.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer:
Click on the Apple.
Click System Preferences.
Click the Print and Scan icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (P1102w Bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

Error's message on HP laser jet 4

I have an very old HP Laser Jet 4 printer.
It was working excellent until it started to just give me lines across the paper...
Then it would print out an empty page...then print my material.
NOW...it just keeps stating ERROR 52?
Does anybody know what that means?
I do not own a booklet on this printer and hate to have to purchase a new one since it has been the best!
Also just put in a new cartridge to see if that my help. Not.
Help?

From an old service manual:
52 ERROR Scanner Malfunction
The scanner motor is a flat, brushless, DC motor. Motor operation
is completely controlled by the DC Controller.
The scanner motor is enabled when the printer is powered-up
(during the printer’s power-on self test), or whenever the PRINT
command is received by the Formatter PCA. The scanner motor
makes a distinctive sound when starting. The sound can be
described as a “variable pitch whirring” sound. Listen for the
sound of the scanner motor when troubleshooting the 52 ERROR.
Laser/Scanner Assembly Functional Checks
Initiate a Self Test. As the test begins, listen for the sound of the
scanner motor. If the motor cannot be heard, perform the
following in the order given:
1 Check the Laser/Scanner and the Power Supply cables. Replace if necessary.
2 Replace the Laser/Scanner Assembly.
3 Replace the DC Controller.

Thank you for any help you can give me. collette

Hi @dumtech ,
I see that you are unable to fax with the new Mac using 10.9. I can help you with this.

Beside USE: make sure it lists the printer's name only/fax.
Click on the add button.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name also.
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try faxing again.
If you can't Fax from the Printer, please try these steps:
Make sure you are using the 2 wire fax cable.
Run this test for the fax.
From the Home screen, touch the wrench button.

Laser Jet 1020 will no longer print Internet/email. Error message is res://ieframe/dll/preview.js

Laser Jet 1020 used to print just fine from internet explorer. Suddenly it quit printing and I get an error message res://ieframe.dll/preview.js The bottom of the error message asks if I want to cancel script. Prints fine from other windows applications. From the Internet, the correct printer is selected? Any suggestions?!
Laura

The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Run the HP Update Tool from Start Menu > All Programs > HP if your printer installs it, rebooting afterwards if necessary.
7) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks,
Dan

My laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade,

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Lost printing to HP Laser Jet following installation of upgrade 10.8.2

I noticed from the BB that this issue is already out there, but I am not sure what course of action to take.   I have a IMac with 10.8.2 installed as part of an upgrade from 10.7.x. My HP Color Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP worked fine.   Once the upgrade nothing.   From the HP support web site, I read the following:
HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet Printers, MFPs, and All-in-Ones - Products not supported or with limited support in OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
which leads me to believe that this printer is "done" and cannot be made to work with this OS.   I am looking for a work around for a perfectly good printer. HP, while not asked has not offered a solution and my take from Apple is that the new OS is supposed to take care of all the issues, both old and new.   I am willing to uninstall any an all software if it will solve the problem.   I am not interested in returning to another older OS.   I did install the new patch provided by Apple, it did not work and I may need to redo if not done correctrly.   It did not solve the problem.   Has anyone found a workable solution to this problem?   I would be appreciative to any suggestions that will help.   Thanks

Thanks for this response. I was able to get the printer working following a bunch of "re-tuning" of setting and the like.   To be clear, I did install this patch from Apple.   While Apple or HP is not clear, I found that it was better to clean house of all old printer (HP listings), remove sharing from the network settings, installing the patch at least twice and then selecting the printer a second time around.   Lo and behold, I selected " Print a Test Page" and after what I thought was a long wait, got the completed test page. As indicated on the HP web page, I did lose the ability to scan via the HP Director software. Not sure that will be a problem as I can still scan to the external memory card and save the image(s).   Progess and change has its cost and I will have to accept this change as part of that evolution.   The new Mac OS has removed many of the folders etc that I was familiar with from earlier times.   The good news is that I can print and that is what really matters.   Thanks again for your suggestion.

HP laser jet printing has black boxes witers

I just bought a new HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M127fn printer. I have an old version of PrintMaster that I have used for years to print my business cards. When I try to use this program with the new printer, the words are all in white surrounded by a black box. A sort of negative print effect. If I can't solve this problem I'll have to return the printer since I use this software quite often. I'm hoping for a simple fix.
Thanks,
Norm

>> ... have to return the printer since I use this software quite often ...
But you might find that you have exactly the same problem with any replacement printer!
I'm not familiar with PrintMaster, so I don't know how integrated it is with modern (Windows?) printer drivers, or (especially with "an old version") if it doesn't use such drivers at all, but generates the print job directly.
If it does use modern drivers (i.e. a standard Print dialogue is exposed), then if you capture a sample (sanitised data) job (select the 'print to file' option in the Print dialogue), then analysis of the resultant .prn file might (but may not) yield some clues as to what is going on.
If the print job Page Description Language is PCL rather than PostScript, you can do the analysis using the PRN File Analyse tool in the PCL Paraphernalia application, available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu

No printing Windows 8.1 64 bit printing to a Laser Jet 3550 USB

I purchased a new HP Envy 700 computer with Windows 8.1 i5 (64-bit). I checked before purchase and made sure drivers were listed at HP. I have 2 new HP lap tops that do not print but never tried to make them work.
Now my HP Color Laser Jet 3550 isn't recognized or print and will not load any drivers. When I try troubleshooting, it says, no problem found. The icon is not in the printer control panel. I Pluged in to USB 2. and 3. ports. HP technical help was no help. (My Printer is Old) No one at HP seems to know about this problem. Any one have a solution? Thanks!

Hi,
The printing is not supported on Windows 8, however a workaround available by using the drivers for Vista.
Follow these steps to download and install the software for Windows Vista, below I attached any link as required to complete the document:

FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network. I m also connected to this Network and i print through HP LJ 3050. How can i sent fax through HP LJ 3050?

HOW can i sent FAX through HP laser jet 3050 which is connected on a Windows Network.
I m also connected to this Network and i print through HP LJ 3050. How can i sent fax through HP LJ 3050?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Apparently there is no HP software support for the HP 3050 fax or scan functions with OS X 'Lion' 10.7:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c0292511 4
Alternatives?
1) Run a Windows client on the Mac using Boot Camp or one of the available virtualization programs like Parallels, VMware Fusion, and others so you can run the latest Windows print/fax/scan driver.
2) If your Mac hardware supports an older OS X version, downgrade to one (Snow Leopard?) that still had support for print, fax and scan.
3) Buy a newer printer. A 2007 model is 5+ years old, and should now be fully depreciated in a business.

Can't print to hp laser jet 1020 printer connected to airport express

Hello All - I recently bought an airport extreme so I am doing some re-configuring of my home network but I am having issues getting the desired out come.
I have the airport extreme connected to the modem. From the extreme in another room, I have an airport express connected to the airport extreme wirelessly (I set that up through the airport utility without any problems.) Now I want to connect my usb hp laser jet 1020 printer the airport express to print from. I have a windows 7 machine. I can see the printer connected to the airport express through the airport utility. I have tried to use the bonjour print service to set up the print connection. Bonjour sees the printer connected as well, I run through all the prompts and click finish, but when I go to print something, it goes to print que and nothing happens. (side note, the printer works just fine when connected directly to the computer).
So I guess my question is, it appears the computer sees that my printer is connected to the airport express. But some point along the way, when I go to print, the message gets lost or goes to the wrong place. I am on the right track? Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Does "plugged into it" mean that the printer is connected using USB or Ethernet?
If USB, have you run Bonjour for Windows to find and configure the printer? (Pages 16-17 in the Setup Guide)
Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

I cannot print with HP Laser Jet Professional P 1102w

I was using Windows XP on the first hard disk of my computer. I could use your Laser Jet with this Operation System. But the difficulties with Windows XP are growing and I want to Install a newer Windows Operating System ???- On the second hard disk of my computer I am using Linux Ubuntu. I tried in vain to use your printer with the Linux Ubuntu system. Therefore I want to use your printer by sending the data to be printed as attachment of an E-Mail with ePrint .
But by now I get:
SERVER ERROR
Oops! Something just went wrong with our server.
Try refreshing the page. ???

Hello there @Frielinghaus !
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see you experiencing some server issues when trying to setup the ePrint feature on your LaserJet P1102w printer. I should be able to provide some help with that!
The first thing to check when troubleshooting any LaserJet printer is to confirm it is plugged into the wall directly and not a power surge protector. The next thing to check is to ensure the printer has the most up to date firmware version. I can provide a link to the download for the Laserjet P1102w firmware update for Windows XP. When running a firmware update on the printer it must be plugged in temporarily with the USB cable.
For the firmware update click here: Firmware update for HP Laserjet P1102w.
If you are still experiencing the server connection issue when trying to enable ePrint then you may be able to change the DNS server the printer is using!
To change the DNS:
1. Access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS) by typing its IP address in the address bar of the web browser.
2. Once connected to the EWS click the Network Tab at the top of the window.
3. Click "IPV4 configuration" on the left side.
4. Click Manual IP.
5. Under DNS address configuration enter the New DNS server.
6. For preferred DNS address enter "8.8.8.8".
7. For Alternate DNS address enter "8.8.4.4".
8. Press apply and try connecting to ePrint again!
Please post back and let me know if this worked for you!
