Software Update for Lexmark Printers

When running software update it shows an update for Lexmark printers. If this software is used the printer does not function. Lexmark recommends manually downloading their latest drivers from their web site. I did and the printer now functions, but software update still shows that a download is required.
I looked at the software update information on Apple's web page and it shows a method to disregard update recommendations, but my software update does not have the capabilities they show.
I would love to get rid of the Lexmark update message.
All other updates have worked including the newest one for Snow Leopard.

I would love to get rid of the Lexmark update message.

  • Software Update for Brother printers disabled my printer

    This morning I installed a Software Update for Brother printers and now I can't print.  Every time I try, I was gettting an error message that says some of my software is missing and it asked if I wanted to install it.  A window opened looked like it was looking in Software Update and it didn't find any software.  I deleted the printer in Printers and Faxes and downloaded the CUPS driver from Brother that says it's compatible with OS 10.7.  Now I can't add the printer.  When I go through the steps to add the printer, for Print Using I select HL-2140 series, which is the model of my printer.  I click on Add and the Add Printer window starts looking for the printer software, but I think it's looking in Software Update.  The message comes up "the software for this printer is currently unavailabe.  Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.  I did that, but how can I get it to use the driver I downloaded from Brother instead of looking for it in Software Update?

    This helped with both my Brother printer and my HP AIO.  I was having marginal printer function after installing OS X Lion, then replace the Airport Express with an Airport Extreme.  That knocked out everything....After several days of loading and reloading programs in different permutations, this relatively simple step was the charm.
    THANKS!!

  • After software update for Lexmark printer, cannot print document as a file is missing. My iMac runs with Snow Leopard.

    I have a Lexmark 3500 - 4500 series printer connected to my iMac via USB (as my iMac won't do the printing wirelessly. My iMac runs with Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8.
    A few days ago, there were several software updates that I have installed as there was mention that they were for Mac OS X Lion.
    Today, I tried to print a document, and it failed. The error message was: "Missing component: /Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers/.Resources/3500-4500 Series Color 2.lut".
    I have re-installed the software from Lexmark without success.
    Has anyone had a similar issue who can advise me, please?
    Thank you.
    Philippe

    Have you tried installing the Lexmark software from the Apple site:
    Lexmark Printer Drivers v2.4 for Mac OS X v10.6
    You are running 10.6 which the above link is for, maybe Lion (10.7) doesn't need everything that 10.6 does. Try re-installing using the above link.

  • I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    Hello Carolyn -  Thank you for your quick response to my concerns, I had already gone to the HP support site and tried to get the latest HP drivers, the site said for Lion 10.7 there was NA version.  So, I just used my time machine to replaced the OS from that time spot. I got my printers working again, so all right with the printer.  But, the fact remains that I still keep getting the New Update HP Printer in the software update window.  But, what happens if I try to download and install it is this:  It starts the download, everything seems to come down fine, it starts write the files and then starts moving items into place, the blue bar fills to all most the end and slows down to a stop and never completes the installation.  I have left my laptop on over night and it never finishes the operation.  I can only force quit the software update.  Which has knock out my printer drivers.  Now, I just keep unchecking the box in the software updates for new HP printer software. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just my system?  Sincerely: Professor G

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

  • Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

  • Are there any software updates for the ipod touch 1st generation?

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Yes.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
    When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
    Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
    If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

  • HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

    Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2

    Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have.  Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down.  On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
    In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Run Verify Disk.  If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption. 
    You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility.  However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.
