Reconnecting to a wireless printer after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.

We upgraded Mac software to 10.10 and lost connection to our HP Photosmart Plus wireless printer. Attempts to find the printer via hostname and/or IP address keep failing. Any ideas of how to proceed?

  • Can't reconnect to Time Machine backups after upgrade to Yosemite

    I did a clean install of Yosemite and restored the user accounts from my time machine backup. I reconnected to the time machine backup on my time capsule and performed a backup. That went fine.
    Now I can't access any of the backups made before I upgraded to Yosemite. They all show up in the history bar on the right in time machine but when I click on a backup nothing loads. I've run a verify on the backup and it passes. Looking at the backup file it has 400GB of data, the same as before the upgrade to Yosemite.
    Any ideas why I can't access the backups?
    Thanks,
    Marvin

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user Library folder, first select a snapshot, then press shift-command-G. A Go to Folder dialog will open. In it, you'll enter the path to the folder. The dialog will help you by automatically completing the parts of the path when you start to type them.
    The path begins with slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts will be separated by slashes.
    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a "2", and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right-arrow key to jump to the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next part.
    Next is the name of the volume (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you gave it a different name.) Start to type that, then jump to the end and enter a slash.
    The next part is "Users", followed by a slash.
    Next is your (short) user name, which is also the name of your home folder.
    Finally, enter "Library", then press return. You should now be in the Library folder. From there you can get around as in the Finder.

  • Problem Printing after upgrading to Yosemite

    I was using Mavericks with no problem, I decided to upgrade to Yosemite without checking for compatibility with my Kodak 6150 All-In-one printer Now I can't print from anything using safari.  Is there any way to go back to mavericks?

    Hi, KenMotoh.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would first recommend making sure the printer driver has been updated.  If the issue persists, try all the steps in the article below.

  • Unable to print from iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite?

    Whenever I want to print from iPhoto, the application on the IMac becomes unresponsive and will not print. This all started after upgrading to Yosemite. My printer is updated, so now I have no idea how to make this work again. Any help would be great.

    DA2014 wrote:
    Rebuilt iPhoto, it is updated, but still is unresponsive. I get the spinning wheel that never goes away until I force close the app. The printer works on other applications.
    OK and I see the issue is only with iPhoto. The only thing I can think of is resetting the printing system and then re-installing the printer(s). DO NOT use any of the printer's software for installing, simply follow the directions for adding a printer in Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support.
    To reset the printing system, open System Preferences - Printers & Scanners - locate the device in the window on the left and right click the offending printer and select Reset Printing System....
    After you have reset the printing system and re-added the device then shutdown (not restart) the computer for about 30 seconds and restart and then test.

  • After upgrading  to Yosemite, I can't print on Okidata c5150n

    After upgrading  to Yosemite, I can't print on Okidata c5150n.  Oki is of no help.  I am connected by ethernet.

    For those trying to use an Oki C5150n printer with OS X Yosemite, the fix is now available.  One must use the driver for the Oki C5800Ldn printer from the Oki support page because the Yosemite compatible driver does not yet appear on the page for the C5150n.  However at Oki customer support's direction I have loaded and used this driver, and so far it is working just fine.  To download the driver use the link at the end of this comment and navigate to the OS.X.10 download option under "find a driver".  Be advised that one must remove the Oki printer from the list in the "Printers and Scanners" system preference window and then re-create it de novo after installing the new driver as the old one will not work.  Unfortunately this means that any documents left hanging in the print queue prior to installation of the new driver will be lost.

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • Printing problematic after upgrading to Yosemite

    I have an iMac (21.5 inch late 2010) and after upgrading to Yosemite with latest version 10.10.1 my HP Laserjet 1320 does not want to print certain files like .pdf & or screen shots. I am able to print an e-mail from Mac mail but nothing else. I have also researched the problem but dont seem to find a sollution to my problem. PLEASE HELP!!

    Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer?  I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants?   I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it?  Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

  • No wireless connections after upgrading to leopard!

    Lost all wireless connection after upgrading to 10.5 osx. Getting frustrated with the upgrade after spending two hours on the phone with apple tech and was told that it was a third party issue! Able to access wireless with security turned off, but once I set sec password (WAP) no connection. What is strange is that I can receive and send email but no browser. All other Mac's/PC's connect fine. Other mac's have not been upgrade! Does anyone have any answers???

  • Elements 11 will not print to my epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1

    Elements 11 will not print to my Epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading to windows 8.1 from windows 8

    I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
    What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written.  Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable.  Since IE9 there have been new .dll  involving printing
    which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools.  However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
    unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
    and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

  • Hp P2015d can't print after upgraded to 10.5

    i can't use my network printer after upgrade to 10.5 from 10.4, anyone can help??
    printer is P2015d

    Use the Leopard dvd and do a Custom Install of the HP drivers to install the drivers. When that is done, delete the printer and re-add it using the new driver.
    Hope this helps.

    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.

  • Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

    I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit).  When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number.  This model doesn't show one.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.
