Problem with HP Photosmart Premium - HP Message Center

I purchased the HP Photosmart Premium (C410a) approximately 2 weeks ago, and am having issues with HP Message Center. Everything else on the printer is working perfectly.
During the first week, I would get messages from the HP Message Center if the ink was low or if the printer was out of paper. However, I have just realised that for the last week I am no longer receiving these messages.
When I opened up the HP Message Center, the log showed that there had been no messages created for the past week. When I deleted the message log, my printer disappeared from the left hand side in Message Center, and the icons at the top (i.e. Network Configuration and Maintain Printer) can no longer be selected as they are greyed out.
About the same time the HP Message Center stopped providing messages, I ran the HP Printer Software Update 2.6 (which was offered through Apple Software Update). I don’t know if this was the cause of the issue.
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the software using both the CD and the version from the HP Website but have had no luck in fixing this. Perhaps the Software Update 2.6 made a change that is not being reversed by the uninstall, but I am just guessing.
As I mentioned everything else with the printer is working perfectly. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Start here.

10.6.8 Printing problem with HP Photosmart premium C310 printer

I hvae a Photosmart Premium C310 printer which is connected wirelessly to my network. I also have a Mac Pro which is connected to the same network by ethernet cable. Up until I updated to OS10.6.8 everything worked fine. After that I found that when I restated the printer I could see it for a short time under the printer list but then it seems to "time out" and I can no longer print to it within a couple of minutes from my Mac Pro. When I restart the printer I can also see its embedded web page again for a few minutes but then it becomes not visble.
I also own a Macbook pro and two iphones and an ipod touch and all these wireless devices have no problem with seeing the printer and printing to it at any time. The Macbook Pro is also updated to 10.6.8 and works fine with this printer.
It would seem that the issue is not with wireless devices but with a wired device printing to this wireless printer even though it is on the same network and on the same subnet mask. All that has changed between working fine last week and not being recognised this week is an update to OS10.6.8
I have restarted the Mac Pro, reinstalled the latest HP software and reset the printers wireless setup but this makes no difference.
Is this a similar issue to what others have been reporting about a bug with printing under 10.6.8 or possibly something else. Any help here would be appreciated as I have no way of printing from my Mac Pro right now.

Pengtao, I have plugged my Macbook Pro into the network (with Airport off) and I can no longer reach the Photosmart printer. Remove the cable and go wireless and the Macbook Pro can reach the printer again. I have installed the photosmart printer software under Windows 7 using Parallels on my Mac Pro and have no problems finding the Photosmart printer from it.
To make matters worse I have bought a new Laserjet M1536 today and install it on my network. Again I get the same issues. I can print to it from any wireless device on the network but cannot reach it on any wired device on the network.Switch the printer off and on and I can see it and print to it for about a minute then it becomes "offline" to my Mac Pro
Given that it works fine under Windows 7 from a Mac Pro I have to conclude that the issue must be OSX 10.6.8 and nothing else as everything worked fine before the upgrade. I have turned all device off and on , checked all cable connections and also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers on the Mac Pro and cannot get it working. Any advice you may have that may solve the problem beyond it being an OSX issue will be greatly welcomed.

Printing problems with HP Photosmart Premium C310a series

I recently installed an HP Photosmart Premium C310a series printer. Now the printer takes about 45 minutes to print a document. HP support says this is an Apple problem.
Can anyone help?

What file was the problem?
It seems that in the Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/x64/3, the newly re-installed updated HP drivers (with the 2011-2012 dates) are the only ones with a .BUD extension. Maybe my Win7 computer doesn't recognize them as drivers? The other driver files in the '3' Folder have .dll, .gpd, and .vdf extensions. Is there another spot they should be copied so the computer can find the drivers? I see that up the chain in the Spool Folder, next to Drivers there is an empty folder named Printers.
And what files (Filenames) are needed to run the 309g-m? I assume some older drivers were kept on file when I ran the updated driver Install program. The newer HP 2011-2012 files in the '3' Folder are hpoc30j3.BUD, mxdwdui.BUD, hpc309at.BUD, and everything else is older. I need to know what to copy-paste to a better folder location.
Whatever and wherever the Drivers are, my computer can not find them!

Printing problem with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I'm running windows XP sp3 on all of my machines with this printer{HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m} wireless network.Recently everything starts to print one inch lower on the paper and cuts off the bottom of each document I try to print.I print mostly from microsoft word 2007,and I have checked all the settings in word.It is almost like the printer skips an invisible header then starts to print the document.Any ideas would be appreciated.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW. There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page. Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers. See if this corrects the printing speed.

Ink problem with HP Photosmart Premium Printer C309a

I replaced the photo black cartridge with 564XL, and black will not print at all. Did I use the wrong cartridge. What else could be causing the problem?

Problem with HP Photosmart Premium C309a

I am using my new IMAC and a new HP c309a all in one unit. I can print, fax, copy, but scanning will not work. I use the application provided, the scanner communicates with IMAC, provides a preview image, but will not save to the IMAC. I have restarted both the HP unit as well as the IMAC. I have re-installed the software, but to no avail. This is a major problem since the main reason for the new scanner was to work on scanning old photos.

I went thru the same thing...HP wrote back and this series of instructions (and download) worked:
The possible cause for this issue could be because of conflict in the drivers/software. However, before we come to a conclusion, I request you to perform the below steps to isolate and correct this issue:
· First, let us check the hardware functionality of the scanner by making a copy. Also check if the printer is able to print.
· If the printer is able to make a copy then it means that the scanning hardware is working fine and the evidence points towards a software issue. In such a case please follow the below steps.
Note: If the printer is not able to copy then please skip the below steps and look for steps in the email to reset the printer.
· I request you to uninstall the existing drivers/software by following the below steps.
* Click and open the Mac hard drive (in which the Mac OS is installed) and then click on Applications.
* In Applications, click on Hewlett Packard and then click on HP Uninstaller.
* Using the HP Uninstaller, remove the printer.
· Please download and then install the updated drivers/software from the below link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-74786-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3737195&os=219&lang=en
Note: Clicking the links may give an error indicating it is invalid. If this occurs, copy the portion of the address on the remaining line and paste it at the end of the address showing in your browser until the complete address is displayed in the Address box.
· The drivers/software would be downloaded with a “.dmg” extension. Double click on the .dmg file and then you should find the HP installer icon. Double click on the HP Installer icon to begin the installation.
· Make sure that the printer is connected to the Mac and is powered on during the installation.
· Once the drivers/software are installed you may use the HP scan.app application to scan in Mac OS X 10.6. To locate HP scan.app, click and open the Mac hard drive (in which the Mac OS is installed) and then click on Applications.
· In applications click on Hewlett Packard and then click and open HP scan.app.
· Using HP scan.app please try to scan.

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
i guess you missed that:

Media center problem with Qosmio G35-650 - error message

hello all
I have a problem with media center on qosmio g35-650.
When starting live tv , an error message appears and writes "application failure please restart your computer again. if problem persists again please contact with your hardware assistance"
It was working yesterday and today something happened.
Also it cant find any tv signal available. Is it a hardware problem?
regards
cem mete

Hello
Please dont be mad on me but in most cases is the user the problem and not the machine. I really dont know what is problem in your case but if the unit has well TV signal there should not be any problem.
Your unit must be an US model. Those notebooks are not known to me but I presume that Qosmio player is preinstalled too. I have G20 and TV works perfect (WMCE and Qosmio player). What is with Qosmio player in your case? Does it work well?
Be sure that TV tuner is listed properly in device manager and also TV antenna is connected properly.

Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
Attempted remedies:
1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
None of these worked.
This question was solved.

(Another) Problem with HP Photosmart - reinstallation

I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and a MacBook Pro, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
Scenario this morning:
The printer will photocopy, but there is no connection between the printer and the computer, it is not a problem with the usb cable connection. The computer will not send anything to the printer to print, and the scanner will not end anything to the computer.
I repaired permissions using disk utility at least three times this morning. (I do it fairly often anyway).
Scenario now:
I have now uninstalled the software, using the HP uninstall programme, but then deleted the remaining items manually as instructed in the section on the HP site for Macs and uninstallation. I have also emptied the trash.
Sadly however, it has made absolutely no difference. Whenever I put the installation disk into the CD drive, I can only get as far as identifying the printer. There are no printers listed, and when I tick the box, it comes up with Photosmart C5200 Series, which is correct. But the next continue box is then greyed out. (I'm wondering if following the HP instructions was such a good idea now).
I am now stuck. I have uninstalled and can not reinstall. I have used these two together for the past year (or more) without any problems. When I initially installed, it worked fine. No problems at all. I have not recently changed any software or upgraded anything on the OS. The two were communicating last week, when I did some scanning and printing.
Confession: I had the first problem (no scanning/printing) a couple of weeks ago, and decided to look in trash to see if I had mistakenly got rid of something and found an hp file in there. Pulled it back out. All worked fine again. But today, total blip, and no hp files in trash.
I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. I'm capable of following instructions. Oh, I have mailed Hp, but I've had no response so far. I have also looked through the stuff on here, but haven't found a similar problem, ie the connection just disappears into the ether.

I had a response from HP:
1) Was the printer powered on? It needs to be turned on.
2) Was the USB plugged directly from the back on the printer to the Mac? You are not using a hub, airport or a USB cable more than 10 feet long?
3) Power cycle the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 10-15 seconds and reconnect the cord. Power on the printer. Was it found?
4) If not, restart the Mac. Once you are back up, if the HP setup Assistant does not automatically launch you can launch it by clicking on Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Utilities or Device Utilities > HP Setup Assistant. Double click to launch. Was it found?
5) If not, plug the USB cable into a different port on the computer. Was it found?
6) If the printer is still not found, check the system profiler for the device. Click on the Blue Apple in the upper left corner, then About this Mac. On the next screen click on More Info. On the System Profiler screen, click on USB under Hardware. On the right is the printer found under USB device tree?
7) Another thing we need to check is when you installed the software did you select the correct device. The newer printer software may contain multiple products. If you did not select the correct device during the install, the computer is looking for a different device and not finding it. To check this, run the HP uninstaller. Open Hard Drive> Applications > Hewlett-Packard > HP Uninstaller. When you get to uninstall selected device, what printer is listed. If it is not you model series, run the uninstaller. Quit the uninstaller when complete, disconnect the USB cable and restart. When you back to the desktop, empty the trash, and reinstall the software. Wait for the option to select your device!
I want to be sure the troubleshooting steps I provided resolve the issue. If the issue continues, please reply to this message with the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
It was not unreasonable, but I had checked the box that said Intermediate (level of computer knowledge) - so I thought asking me if the printer was turned on/checking the ports/ etc etc was a little basic.
However on browsing this forum for similar probs I noticed a reference to Printer Setup Repair (it may have been one of your suggestions BDAqua to a different problem) so downloaded it for a free trial. Although I regularly verify and repair permissions with disk utility, I tried with Printer Setup Repair, and got this message:
Monday, December 15, 2008 12:16:04

Done.
Verification complete.
837 files examined. No problems were found.
11 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
That message would explain why, the last time I had a problem, it was resolved with reinstalling OS X. What I don't understand is why a file suddenly disappears? Perhaps I need to move my queries to one about OS X? (I have OS X on my other Apple and no probs there.)
Anyway, thank you for your responses and if you have any further advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear.
