Software Update printer driver update for HP causes an extra page to print that just has "2345X" printed on it.

A few days ago, Software Update showed a printer driver update for HP so I installed it. Now, after everything that I print, I get an extra page that just has "2345X" printed on it. I tried reinstalling the driver update but still get the extra page. Anyone know how to get stop this extra pgae from printing?

Hello charliemun,
What I suggest is to reset the print system, click the link below to proceed:

Once you have reset the print system please make sure you are selecting the HP Driver and not the Airprint driver (see picture below)
Please let me know if this has resolved the error of the extra page with the numbers on it, or if you require more assistance.
Thanks,

Osx 10.7.3 HP Printer driver UPDATE keeps REPEATING

Hello everyone,
I am having a very strange problem with my macbook pro early 2011 (intel core duo I5 2.3Ghz - 8Gb ram, 500 GB hard disk, Intel Hd 3000 graphics card with 512mb memory (shared))
I have been installing the same update for approximately 3 days now.
The update in question is: HP printer driver update 2.8.
Everytime I open software update the update is there to be installed, I then proceed to install it and once I check software update it is there again in an eternal loop.
Is anyone having same issue??
Thanks for help in advance.

Epson Printer Driver Update 2.18 and Stylus Photo 1400

My Mac Mini was unable to communicate with my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer, after installing the recent Epson Printer Driver Update 2.18. I am running Mac OS 10.7.5. Reinstalling the original driver from the Epson CD got me back on track, but, a test print from the installer did not work without additional software from Apple's servers. Avoid Update 2.18, if you are using similar equipment.

Since updating to EPSON Printer Software Update 2.18, I have not been able to print to my EPSON Stylus DX6000 (under OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard). The printer dialog box says
Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/ MacOs/rastertoescpll failed
Using Time Machine, I restored rastertoescpll.app from a time before I upgraded to the 2.18 drivers, but that didn't work. I then restored the entire EPSON folder from
/Library/Printers/
from a time before I upgraded to the 2.18 drivers, and that still didn't work.
I was not able to find the Update 2.17 on the Apple site, but I was able to find it on the www.techspot.com site.
I downloaded EPSON Printer Software Update 2.17 from
http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16158/
This downloaded EPSONPrinterDrivers2.17.dmg
I dragged the EPSON folder to the Trash, and emptied the Trash. I then ran the installer for the 2.17 drivers. After switching the printer off and on again, I was finally able to print.

New Leopard Printer Driver update ( running Leopard OSX 10.5.8 )

Yesterday I downloaded several updates online , one of which was a Print Driver update suggested by Apple . Today every time I try to print on my HP 310 , I get an error message ( bouncing HP Icon ) indicating that the printer is Offline . However when I activate the HP Print Quality Diagnostic Report from the computer , it prints fine via my Airport Network . Going to the printer's screen and running the Wireless Network Test Report , the printer reports excellent signal strength and no issues .
Is this new updated Printer Driver buggy ?
BTW , I also have Snow Leopard on an external drive . If I start up my iMac from that drive , the printer works fine printing the same file from my desktop .

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

Epson print driver update

Running S L.
When installing accidentally updated Epson print drivers.
Does anyone know of how to remove this update - as now use Canon printer.

For some reason the +Epson Printer Driver Update+ and +HP Printer Driver Update+ seem to be 'sticky' in the Software Update list under Snow Leopard. They often remain in the list even after you install them.
When you run Software Update, just uncheck them so you don't re-install them.
And BTW, turn off automatic software updates. Do them manually & selectively.

Problem with Latest Epson Printer Driver Update

I installed the Epson printer driver update that came out today, but it made absolutely no difference. My Epson printer is still using a the same old Epson driver plus Gutenprint. There is no other option. I don't get it. What's the point of installing the update if the printer is still stuck with Gutenprint? My printer (Epson Stylus Photo R340) is supported according to Apple's list.

Thanks for that tip, John. I found the "Epson SP R340 series" driver by searching for it as you suggested.
Happy to help Alan.
HOWEVER, I cannot print with this driver. I get the following error message when I try to print:
Error: Library/Printers/EPSON/InketPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescpll failed
This seems common with the Epson drivers, there are several posts here with that problem. Some users have had success deleting the printer from Print & Fax Prefs and adding it again using the Epson (non-Gutenprint) driver. Others have had to delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, re-download the update, then re-add the printer.
I would try the first one first since it's the easiest and you already have the update installed. If that doesn't work, the second should.
Hope this helps.

HT1338 Is there a HP Photosmart printer driver update 12.16.1 that supports OS 10.7.5 that will allow me to scan documents with OCR? If so where/how do I download or get it? Thanks

Sorry, I meant to say Apple printer driver update 2.16.1 for OS 10.7.5. Is there a HP Photosmart printer driver update 2.16.1 that supports OS 10.7.5 that will allow me to scan documents with OCR? If so where/how do I download or get it? Thanks

Duplex printing not working after installing HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1

Hi,
our printers (Lexmark T622, HP Laserjet 2200, both equipped with a duplex unit) are managed by printer queues on our Mac OS X Server (10.5.5). Our users (mostly having Mac Books running 10.5.4 or 10.5.5) are printing by sending their jobs to the queues on the Mac OS X Server (via IPP/TCP/IP).
So far so good.
It seems that the users who have installed the "HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1" aren't able to do duplex-printouts anymore. All sheets that leave the printers are printed on one side only - the "Duplex" setting by these clients is just ignored. Users who haven't installed the update yet, don't have the problem (at least it seems to me like this, but I have to admit that I've tested it with only three different Mac Books, yet).
My questions are:
- Has anybody else observed this behaviour, yet?
- Or, even better, does anybody have a solution to it? Reinstalling the printer on an affected client doesn't solve it. That's what I tried already.
- Is there any possibility to make the printer driver update "undone", which means to do a kind of downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.1?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Steffen

Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
inOS:
An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
Windows Update:
There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
* Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

HT3669 Epson printer driver update for 10.8.5

Apple lists "software available" to update my Epson Artisan 50 printer driver to version 9.0. However, when I do an Apple software update the printer is not listed and does not update. Epson website says all updates must be done through Apple. I just recently got a new iMac with Mountain Lion and switched the printer from my old 10.4 iMac. It no longer prints colors accurately so after going through all the standard "fixes" with Epson I hoped a driver update would help. Any ideas?

sorry - it is HP Photosmart D110a. the HP website says that there is no additional software other than the Apple update:
"With the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, HP is providing updated print drivers and software for your printer. These updates are available through Apple Software Update . You do not need to download a driver from HP to use your printer with Mountain Lion."

What functionality is available in the HP driver update through Apple Software Update?
Depending on the printer functionality , one or more of the following software components might be included in the HP driver update for Mountain Lion:
HP print driver
HP fax driver
HP Utility
HP scanning files compatible with Apple’s Image Capture and Preview applications

Software Update printer driver update for HP causes an extra page to print that just has "2345X" printed on it.
