PLEASE HELP!! Trying to install an HP Printer

I am trying to install my HP Deskjet 3940 to my Mac Mini. When I put in the disk provided by HP, and double click a message comes up saying: "An error occured while reading the installer data. This installer appears to be damaged". So I went to HP's website to download the driver, made sure I had everything correct, (download to Mac OS X, correct model # of the printer, etc.). Once it has downloaded and I double click, a message comes up saying: "error creating file, data not found". Please, if anyone knows how to help! I have called both HP and Apple with no success. Has anyone come across this same problem and soved it??

1st Time Mac User,
The 3940 driver is included in the latest version of OSX. There's a pretty good chance you could just plug it in and it will work. No CD necessary.
If you're using it as a network printer on Airport Extreme/Express, follow these directions: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html -- use the 3840 driver.
Or you could use the HPIJS CUPS driver if 10.3.8 doesn't automatically recognize the printer: http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/.

Please help: trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.0 on Mandrake 8.1

Hi, I am trying to install Oracle8i that comes with "Oracle for Linux Starter Kit" on Mandrake 8.1. Could someone please give tips or pointer how i can accomplish this? The Universal Installer starts fine, but then a dialog pops up about compiling sqlplus. here is a piece from the log file:

I had the same problem with Oracle 9i on Mandrake 8.1. I am not sure if the same fix will work or not. See my 9i on 8.1 notes at:
http://members.home.net/joseph.j.flynn/oracle.htm
snip---
You will get a link error after all of the copying and unpacking has been done somewhere in disk 3. Leave the error message up on the screen and go edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh script. Blank out the LD_SELF_CONTAINED env var. Save and execute the script. Hit the retry button on the installer. The alternative approach to this involves downgrading the binutils but that seemed to get awfully messy to me. (thanks to a post from Helmut Seruega for this fix)

Hi,
Everytime I click on my computer to open a folder or on the start button, windows installer tries to install smart web printing and I get an error message everytime. I have to manually close the window everytime.

Hi,
Finally I've figured out a way to solve this. I typed msconfig in "run", and unchecked all the HP, Smartweb printing and windows installer items in the services and startup tabs. I don't have the problem anymore.
But thank you very much for your help!

I am trying to install a new printer and I am not sure which application to use?

I am trying to install a new printer with the external CD rom drive on my MacBook Air. When I load the disc it is not allowing the program to run as it is stating that I have the wrong application to do so. How do I install things from the external CD Rom?

What model printer is it?
It is unlikely you need its installation CD-ROM at all.

Hi bodegakc,
If you have the serial number then please use the below mentioned link to download the product you are looking for .
CS5.5
Also before installing Please go to Applications-->Utilities--> Adobe installers and if there is any uninstaller for CS5.5 , you can remove it and do a fresh install.
You can also use creative cloud cleaner tool before installing.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
Be sure you are using AirPort Utility 5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw Driver Setup Error - Please Help - I can't Use My Printer

Hi,
I have just bought a new HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw Printer. But I can not install it. I can't use it, even one page written document.
This is the error when setup appears:
Please help me...

Hi @NafirKeyh ,
I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer on Windows 7. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue. Disabling the Startup programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software should prevent any interference during the installation.
Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin...
How is the printer going to be connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Please help this clueless beginner with out.print syntax....

Please help a clueless beginner out!!!! :-)
I'm trying to build a dynamic table that functions as a calendar...(see http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javacook/chapter/ch18.html for the basic idea and code structure).
Here's the problem...I want to make each date inside of the table a hyperlink to a new page. I figured out how to create the hyperlinks, but I CAN'T figure out how to create hyperlinks that pass variables to a new page.
Here's the code that works:
// Fill in numbers for the day of month.
for (int i = 1; i <= daysInMonth; i++)
out.print("<td>");
out.print("<a href=newpage.jsp>");
out.print(i);
out.print("</a>");
out.print("</td>");
Here's the code that DOESN'T work....but can serve as pseudo-code for what I want to do:
// Fill in numbers for the day of month.
for (int i = 1; i <= daysInMonth; i++)
out.print("<td>");
out.print("<a href=newpage.jsp?year=<%= yy %>&month=<%= months[mm] %>&date=<%= i %>>");
out.print(i);
out.print("</a>");
out.print("</td>");
<%= yy %>, <%= months[mm] %> are defined elsewhere in the code, and I want to use the current value of "i" from the loop.
So, if everything works like I want, the table will get created, and if yy=2002 and mm=January, then the hyperlinks will look like:
for day 1:
"/newpage.jsp?year=2002&month=January&date=1"
for day 2:
"/newpage.jsp?year=2002&month=January&date=2"
...for day 31:
"/newpage.jsp?year=2002&month=January&date=31"
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Is it even possible to do what I want? (I assume it is...but maybe I can't use out.print???)
Thanks!

Hi. The expression "<%=some_Java_expression %>" is the JSP tag, that returns string value to HTML code. You should use it in HTML block like:
<%String myname="Ivan"; %>
<body>
<p>My name is: <%=myname %></p>
But You tried to use it inside the string expression and it generated some code like this:
<a href="newpage.jsp?year=<%=yy%">...
, didn't it?
It invokes method out.print(" ... "), that prints this string value (but in the HTML block). So You tried to print something inside the print method. You should rewrite Your code like this:
for (int i = 1; i <= daysInMonth; i++)
out.print("<td>");
out.print("<a href=newpage.jsp?year="+yy+"&month="+months[mm]+"&date="+i+">");
out.print(i);
out.print("</a>");
out.print("</td>");
I used the + operator to join Your code for link tag with the values (yy, months[mm], i.
I hope it helps You,
bye.</a>

Then I downloaded - flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg - opened it,right clicked on it and went to "Show Contents" then "Resources" and tried installing - Adobe Flash Player.pkg. I got a - You cannot install PlugIn on this volume. A newer version of this software already exists on this volume. Even though I used uninstall to get rid of all Flash beforehand.
So now any website that need flash player I can not use.I have looked all over this web site for an answer.Please help me get flash player reinstalled,the lattest version if possible.
