Printer wont show when usb is connected

The printer isnt showing at all...its a lexmark p43500. I connect the usb, and nothing shows up..please help

Do you mean that when you go to Add the printer, it is not being displayed in the Default Browser view of the Printer Browser window? If this is the case, try opening System Profiler and select Hardware then USB. Does the printer show under one of the USB Bus entries?

  • Printer wont show up when plugged into timecapsule, and backups in pink wont restore?

    i recently purchased a TC and my printer wont show up on the network when plugged into the usb port? i also cannot restore anything from backups in pink? any solutions

    When you open Print & Fax to add the HP device, are you then clicking on it to highlight it, then clicking Add at the lower right to install the device?
    When you do this, you will have the HP device installed in two "locations"....one at the Mac and the other at the TC. When you try to print, you have to be sure to choose the correct location.
    The PCs will need to have Bonjour for Windows installed on each device. Run the program, and select the HP device.   Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
    Keep in mind that only the print function will work on most All-in-One type devices when connected to the USB port on a router. You need to connect to a computer if you need advanced features like copy, scan, maintentenance, etc.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
    I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

  • Printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    Hi Marc,
    If you are having issues with printing from your iMac I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
    Specifically -
    Troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system (see below). Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    How do I switch my phone to transfer mode when USB is connected to my computer?

    you should get a notification at the top of the screen for a usb connection. pull it down & select mass storage.
    in my computer or windows explorer, you'll see motorola as the next available drive after the hard drive, cd, dvd, etc.
    click to open & the sd card can be viewed.

  • On my photosmart C4200 series printer, error message says USB not connected

    I have a hp photosmart C4200 series it's saying the USB not connected. I made sure all connections were secure and still same message. I unplugged it and then plugged back in at tower and printer, still same. I changed out cable, still same problem.  Is there anything else I can do aside from buying a new printer? Thanks, Jenn

    Hi @jennirvinpest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are getting the error message that says your USB is not connected with your HP Photosmart c4200 series.  
    For further assistance, I will need some more information:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

  • Output sound distortion when USB Mic Connected

    Hi everyone,
    Really appreciate anyone’s help on this sound distortion problem.
    I have been using the new 2014 iMac 27' for last 8 Months, bought Brand New, and recently updated to Yosemite. Everything worked fine including recording, until this update.
    I'm using Blue Yeti USB Mic for recording, and few days after the update I was trying to record in GarageBand and the output sound (via headphone connected to USB MIc) started to distort and then suddenly dropped the bitrate/ sound and I could only hear some clicks. I reinstalled the GargeBand, still its the same distortion happens. The sound gets back to normal, only for few seconds, after I unplug the USB cable from the Mic device. And I tried changing the bit rate and again sounds starts to drop after few sec. This happens only when I connect the Blue Yeti USB Mic and sound output from the Mic itself. Same thing happens with iTunes as well. Output sound from Internal mic and speakers are working fine as normal.
    I tried connecting the USB Mic to my Windows laptop and its working fine with the Cubase 5 without any problem. So the problem is with the output sound, when external Mic connected.
    I don’t know the solution for this. Have checked on every single blog/ thread, sill couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for, to fix this.
    It would be great if you have any kind of a solution for the same.
    Info : FYI
    Mac
    OS X Yosemite: Version 10.10.2
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor : 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
    Hard-drive : 1 TB SATA Disk

    Nope. The larger buffer didn't work. What did work was running a cord out of the 1/4-inch jack from the direct box to a 1/4-to-1/8-inch adapter and then into the mic/line-in jack on my computer. I set GarageBand to use the built-in line-in and had no static problems. It's a stopgap until this gets fixed.

  • PC wont boot when USB-TC01 plugged in

    Why will my PC not boot when the USB-TC01 is plugged in??  I have adjusted everything in BIOS to make sure I am not trying to boot from USB nor CD/DVD drives.  Other than that, the device works fine once the PC boots.  I tried using a self powered USB.  I am using XP, Pentium D, 3.2GHz, w/ 2BG RAM.  Any help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have a few questions to gain a little more insight into what is happening:
    1. Have you tried booting up with other USB devices connected? If so, does it boot up correctly?
    2. Have you tried this on all available USB ports?  If so, does it cause the same behavior?
    3. Does the USB-TC01 cause other computers to act this way when connected? 
    Best regards,

  • No printer found message when trying to connect to HP Photosmart B210a

    Every time I try to print from my iPad2 to HP Photosmart B210a air printer I get the message 'no air printer found'.  My iMac does connect to the printer wirelessly each time.  If I disable wireless anthem re-enable the wireless network on the printer, the printer can be found for that job only.  Next time we are back where we started.  I have checked and there are no upgrades needed for the printer.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Yes I have the printer set up as the network printer.  The connection works from time to time, and I can force a connection by dies enabling and then re-enabling the wireless connection on the printer.  It is just annoying as I have to go to the printer to do that and the whole idea of an air printer!

  • Extigy computer will not recognise when usb is connected

    When the soundblaster is connected to?my computer with a usb the computer does not seem to acknowledge the extigy is there(nothing comes up on my computer section-XP)
    The sound blaster disc has installed ok,and the remote picture pops up on screen each time the computer isswitched on.
    Any body help?

    I hate to be a "me too'er", but... Me too! I took it back to apple a week after I got this brand new iMac and couldn't believe that it wouldn't boot up. We reinstalled Leopard, did a hardware check, and talked about everything imaginable that could be wrong. Why would the "grey screen of death" keep killing my boot up? It dawned on me that every time it happened my connected iPod would light up and show the "do not disconnect" screen-- the only sign of life coming from my computer. As I had that realization, I disconnected my iPod and immediately the apple came on and the boot up went lightning fast... I think this should be driving a lot of people crazy--- shouldn't it? The genius at apple didn't say anything about it, and I know he's been around a long time. kind of disturbing that this isn't a totally well known issue.

  • TS3274 ipad will not charge when USB cord connected to PC or socket.

    When i plug the USB cord to either electrical socket or computer.  ipad will not charge.  Says NOT CHARGING.  Please HELP.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Stand-by / sleep mode not working when USB is connected

    Hello!
    When the USB cable from my 24" LED Cinema Display is connected to my new Mac Pro 2,66 GHz Quad-Core, the stand-by / sleep mode does not work correctly: the Mac Pro goes to sleep normally, then the LED behind the on-/off-button flashes one time and then the Mac Pro awakes from sleep mode without any user interaction.
    I already tried to reset PRAM, I tested all three rear-side USB connectors (I did not test the front-side USB connectors because the display's cable is way too short), I unplugged all other USB and Firewire devices and also tried sleep mode from a freshly created account. Alas, nothing helps.
    As soon as the display's USB connector is plugged in, sleep mode does not work any more. It even doesn't matter if there are USB devices plugged into the display. Without connecting the display's USB plug, sleep mode works fine.
    So, any ideas out there?
    Thanks in advance & best regards!
    Mario.

    I fixed the problem, so I just post this to help others that might run into the same trouble.
    The Mac Pro and the display were connected to a master/slave power socket. The problem is: when the Mac Pro goes to sleep, there still seems to be some power left in the display (which socket is switched off by the master/slave power socket). Therefore, the display goes off slightly after the Mac Pro. This powering off seems to release a signal on the display's USB wire that is connected to the Mac Pro and therefore switches the Mac Pro on again.
    So, this is the same effect as removing a USB device from the Mac during sleep mode, what (at least in most cases) also starts up the Mac again.
    As a result, there seems to be no other solution to this problem than removing the display from the master/slave power socket. Sadly enough, the LED Cinema Display consumes other 2 watts in stand-by mode...
    Cheers!
    Mario.
