Printer supposedly "offline", HP Print & Scan Dr says software isn't installed

I've literally been looking for this answer for days but I can't seem to find it. My computer says that my HP Photosmart D110 is offline even though the printer says it's connected. I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Dr, hoping it would work but under software status, it says "not installed". It gave me a link to download the full software solution and I downloaded the Driver - Product Installation Software and Software - ePrint, and IT'S STILL FREAKIN OFFLINE!!!
I'm trying really hard not to uninstall the printer because I'm away at college and I left the CD at home and I need to print NOW

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • It says it isn't installed

    when i click on itunes it says it isn't installed, and when i try to download an new version it says it cannot find the files to install . so then i tried to uninstall it and i got the same message cannot locate files
    some one please tell me how to fix this!!!
    thank you

    Thank you kindly.
    With that one, let's try the following procedure.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes 7.5 install. Does it go through properly? If so, does iTunes start opening for you properly again?

  • How do I reboot my MacBook Air? It says software is being installed; digital camera RAW compatibility and safari

    I am trying to get rid of this "Installation Alert" window.  I tried to force quit all and reboot, but it says "Your computer can't be restarted now, because software is being installed."  Below that it says "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update and Safari are being installed.  Interrupting the install Amy damage your computer.  You can restart when the install is complete". It has a progress bar below showing it being 80% complete, but it just hangs there.  Now safari is going crazy.

    Then try holding down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until your computer shuts down. Wait one minute then:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Printer goes offline after printing

    Hello, I have an HP Laserjet Pro MFP M476DW used wireless, which worked fine until the upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.2. Now go offline after you have printed a copy and must be turned off and on for printing. And then press the last thing in the print queue and then goes back online. I uninstalled / reinstalled updated drivers etc but the problem persists. Can anyone advise please?
    Thank you, Emanuele.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • HP 6490 running on windows 7. Cannot get printer from offline status. prints ok from laptop.

    I have a 6940 printer running on windows 7. Went on vaction and had everything turned off for a week. Turned everything back on and now printer will not come out of offline status. Printer is on home network plugged into a router. Printer will print from my laptop using XP. Everything was fine before.

    Thanks for the reply.
    When I use Remote Desktop and use the Public IP of the router without the port number (49250), I am able to get into the server. However, when I try to use RDP with the [Public IP]:49250, it will not connect to the 192.168.0.30 workstation.
    Right now the router is program to forward port 49250 requests to the 0.30 workstation.
    I am going to work on the Inbound/Outbound Firewall settings today and see if this will resolve the issue.

  • Email sent when printer was offline = no print?

    Hello
    I have sent an email to my printer when it was off, but now that it is online it still doesn't print. Do I have to click somewhere to start the printing?
    I can see my document in the ePrint Center with status "pending", but there is nothing else to click then "cancel"... What can I do?
    Thank you in advance for any reply.
    Regards,
    Tony

    Hi Anthonidas,
    What is the status of the printer on ePrintCenter.com?  If it shows "Not Connected," you can turn the printer off, wait 20 to 30 seconds then turn the printer back on and check the status again after a minute or two by pressing the "Refresh" button.  If it is still "Not Connected," I would turn the printer and router off, wait 20 to 30 seconds, turn the router on, wait one to two minutes then turn the printer on and check it again.  Jobs that are sent when the printer is turned off should print automatically if you turn the printer back on within 24 hours of the job being received.  There is no way to restart the job from the website.  Please let me know what happens.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • App Store says Xcode isn't installed, but it's on my computer.

    I installed Xcode on the 6th of August, but now - 23rd of August - in the App Store > Purchased Xcode's button "install" is blue, and install when clicked.
    What's wrong?

    Xcode 4.1 was released two days before the 6th of August, and it is the one I installed. Yesterday the App Store said that all my apps had been installed, which they had.
    It must therefore be a glich. The problem is that I asked it to download, and it's taking an extremely long time, ranging between 1h 50mins to 1day 20h, so I can't launch it from the LaunchPad.

  • Printer is offline all the time! Help!

    My wireless HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw goes offline all of the time.  We have printed the wireless configuration pages that state that there is not a problem and that the printer is connected with a good signal.  We can print off our phones wirelessly (anywhere in our house), but the printer does not seem to communicate with our Dell Inspiron (crappy Windows 8). 

    Hi @fcu ,
    I see that printer keeps going offline on the computer, but you can still print using your phones wirelessly.
    I can help you with this.
    Most likely the router reassigned the printer a new IPv4 address and the computer isn't recognizing it.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
    Check the port showing on the computer, to make sure it matches the printer's IPv4 address.
    Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
    Right click on the printer and left click printer properties, select the ports tab.
    Click on configure port to view the IPv4 address.
    If the IPv4 address doesn't match the printer's IPv4, then create a new port with the new IPv4 address.
    Close the configure port window.
    Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
    Type in the proper IPv4 address for the printer.
    Make sure the printer is online.
    Test the printer.
    If the problem persists, follow the steps in this document for the printer being offline.
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    I would also setup a Static IP address, to the router will assign the same IP address.
    Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection.
    Disregard the title. Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
    Let me know the outcome.
    Have a wonderful day!

    I'm installing a new HP 4500 to my network at home, currently using my Macbook Air. The software downloaded fine and the setup wizard worked well too, the printer found my network and says that it is connected to it.
    when I try to print wirelessly, the window on my laptop says 'printer is offline' and 'printer is not connected' although it clearly is online.
    I have no trouble printing through a wire
    please help
    thanks

    I understand your are having "Printer Offline" errors with your HP 4500 after you have installed onto your Mac Book Air over your wireless connection but the USB cable connection works without problem.

    I would like you to start with looking into this document as it covers all the Windows & Mac Operating Systems: 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print.
