Printer and scanner problems for C4680 photosmart

When trying to start the C4680 photosmart printer a message askes to INSERT MEMORY CARD, which I don't have and never needed before.
It doesn't print anything but blank sheets of paper, and wants to scan without being asked.
Serious help needed, thanks.

Best printer and scanner for a MBP?

Seeking recommendations for a printer and scanner for a MB Pro.

Check for ones that say they are Macintosh or OS X compatible, which will be almost all of them.
Cannon and Epson tend to deliver Apple support better than HP. I have had new HP printers and scanners that were supported on Windows but not on Macs. I had to return the scanner. I have also had external HP disk drives that worked on Windows but not Macs.
The rest is personal choice. Less expensive printers tend to print more slowly. I prefer printers with wireless connections. Most have that these days.

Why has my hp deskjet 2050 printer and scanner suddenly slowed down and printing one line at a time

This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.

Printer and scanner calibration

Hi,
I have a DTP94 colorimeter (AKA Monaco XR Pro), a Canon iP1600 printer and an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo scanner (with built-in slide/negative scanner). What do I need to buy, in terms of hardware and software, to calibrate the printer and scanner?
S.
EDIT: I also have the latest ColorEyes Display Pro software demo installed. Does this apply at all?
Message was edited by: SiRGadaBout

Monaco's EZColor software, supplied with the DTP94, actually offers scanner and printer profiling, but only in versions 2.50 upwards
I hadn't mentioned that one because I knew it was no longer for sale. I think it was dropped a couple of years ago.
I'm trying to find someone who may profile these devices for me for a small fee, though this is also proving difficult...
I have the equipment and software to do that. The only real issue creating printer profiles long distance is making sure the targets get printed correctly. Depending on the printer drivers, and sometimes the printer itself, it sometimes isn't even possible.
or (in one very surprising case) don't profile their equipment at all
That is very surprising. I'd sure like to know how they can get any kind of consistent and accurate color between monitor/printer/camera/scanner.
Most places though don't waste time trying to profile digital cameras for a couple of reasons. One is that it's the rare camera (usually only on the very high end) that will take an untagged image. No profile embedded, like Adobe RGB; no defined white point color, nada. Necessary to create a profile. RAW is untagged, but then when you open such a file in Photoshop; say from a Nikon D700, you have to choose a color space to tag it with while opening the image from the RAW plug-in to the PS interface.
The other reason is that profiles are very specific to the method used to create them. Say you profile your monitor. Then you change the brightness or contrast controls. Your profile is now useless since the monitor is no longer at the settings used to create the profile. With a digital camera, if you create an accurate profile, it's only good as long as you never move the camera, change the lens or zoom setting, or move any of the lighting. As soon as you do, you invalidate the profile.
Here's another option. Much better than the ColorMunki to do your monitor and printer profiles. Not as inexpensive as the ColorMunki, but not empty your pockets expensive like an i1iSis/ProfileMaker 5 or Monaco Profiler bundle. X-Rite's i1Xtreme. The only drawback is that you have to choose an i1 spectrophotometer with or without a UV cut filter. It's fixed in the main unit depending on which one you buy and can't be changed. I mention this because having the UV filter is necessary to create printer profiles that will produce correct color output by cutting the UV brighteners in many papers. Colors tend to come out odd otherwise. As far as a monitor, different people at X-Rite have told me two different things. One said you should have a non UV cut unit for monitors. The other said it doesn't make any difference.
The other drawback to the i1 Pro (XTreme) bundle is that there is still no scanner profiling in it.

Read the user manual that came w/the printer/scanner, contact Epson to see if you need to update your scanner drivers to work in Mavericks also check Software Update. Check out the following links:

For travel printer you can't beat the Canon Pixma IP100. However a printer-scanner combo you might look at HP envy series. The scanner makes the unit much bigger.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

Need to add print and download options for report in new window

Hi,
On one of the columns empid of the report1 (which is on the dashboard) , I am using navigation and pointing it to report2.
Report1 has all the links, print, download and refresh (I enabled them using the section properties) but when I click on empid and it takes me to report2, then I don't see any links under that report. I want to include print and download links for report2 when it opens in the new window.
I know, one way is to embedd that report in the dashboard page and hide it, but is there any other way of doing it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Just to clarify again, I am using a navigation from report1 (which is on the dashboard) to report2 (which is not on the dashboard).
As per the requirements, I can't put my report2 on any dashboard page and hide it and then use navigation. Also, I can't enable the print and download options for report1 which is already on the dashboard. Doing this gives me print and download options for report2 but that is not the requirement.
Is there any way to have print and download options for report2 when I am directly navigating to the report2 from report1 and not the report2 on any dashboard page which is hidden.
I will really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
RonnyPlease explain why you can't do what I said. What is the "requirements" that prevent this? It would be transparent to the user, really. They just click and get their report.

MP460 Canon printer and scanner : Cannot communicate with scanner.

Impossible to scan with a MP460 Canon printer/scanner. Always same message : Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 155.0.0.
I click 'ok' then i have the message Scan failed.
Found a post about the same problem with the MP470 model.
Did what is told in this post (installation of new scanner driver from the Canon site) But always the same problem. Who could help ??
Thanks

Hi Pahu
Many thanks for your quick and relevant answer.
Are your sure I have to look in the software section of the profiler ?? I don't find anything about scanner or printer in this section. I see the MP Navigator, which is the soft I use for scanning.
In the hardware section, I only see an entry for the printer and the driver is the 5.8.3 version.
Although the driver I installed yesterday stands in a file named 'mp460osxsd12131ej7.dmg' (thus for me should be the 12.13.1 version)
Oops I see now that my post is not in the correct forum, since my MacBook is in 10.5.8, not in 10.6
Thanks for your help !!

first uninstall foomatic*
then you must (try) create a udev rule, as wrote in our wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … CUPS_1.4.x
i've done this before get both scanner and printer working....

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Firefox 31.0 - slowness and script problems for using websites

Since Firefox 31.0 is released, some technical problems of slowness and script problems to use
websites have been noticed from mine. Sometimes it needs up to some minutes to load a website
and sometimes there are error messages for an unanswered script.
pemigabo123

Hello FredMcD,
thank you for your message.
But your answer to my question at support.mozilla.org is not helpful,
although it is a professional technical answer from a Top 10 Contributor
from mozilla.
It seems that there is a permanent unfixed problem always if a new
version of mozilla is released. After all fixed problems of the earlier
version of firefox, there is no problem at all.
But if I am already working with the non-problem earlier version of
firefox, then suddenly the problems of error messages, slowness and
script errors are appearing, and if I have looked for the actual version
of firefox, there was signed a new version and now I have known,
aha a new vesion of firefox was released and it needs up some time
for every new version until the error problems were fixed.
Maybe it is combined with the plugins like flashplayer or shockwave.
But a professional version of firefox should not sign up error messages,
because of plugins, while working with these plugins.
Another answer from another support.mozilla.member was for an
overload problem, because of opening some windows of firefox.
But to open many windows of firefox was already no problem with the
earlier version firefox 30.0 or earlier, until the error messages are fixed.
The same unfixed problems are since firefox 25.0 up to 30.0, but I was
wondering for how long version 30.0 was actual in practical working.
And since version of firefox 31.0 was released the same problems
of error messages, slowness and script errors were appearing.
At the moment it seems firefox 31.0 works alright.
But only the following time shows if it works without error messages,
slowness and sript problems or not.
In hope to give a helpful answer to yours
kind regards

What printer and fax modem for leopard

Since updating to leopard I`m having a lot of trouble with my Canon MP 780. I have tried new drivers and everything else I can think of including reading these forms for a solution ever since leopard was released.It seems to me that apple forgot all about faxing and printing when they developed leopard. So my question is, is there a multifunction printer that works well with leopard. Seems nothing can save my MP 780. Also I need a fax modem but it seems they are far and few between that play nice with leopard. A few suggestions would be greatly appreciated.It seems as though leopard is apple`s Vista when it comes to printing and faxing. Sorry I`m just really tired of this.

I'm using a HP Officejet 7780 which works great, the bad news is it was recently replaced by the OfficeJet 8500 series AIO. HP make 3 versions:
1. Base model with ethernet & USB connections
2. OJPro 8500 Wi-Fi with touch screen, wi-fi (in additition to ethernet and USB connections) & duplexing
3. OJPro 8500 Premier with touch screen, wi-fi, duplexing, touch screen, dual paper trays and 2 complete sets of ink, legal size scanning etc.
The new OJ 8500 series also uses ink that is designed to be water resistant and offer a lower cost of printing than a similarly priced laser printers.

Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
Again, I think it stems from the update.
