Started having error 0x887df78e with HP Office Jet networked printer. Seem to be related to Itunes

I recently started having my networked HP Office Jet printer begin flashing lights and displaying error code 0x887df78e. It seems to be related to the use of ITunes. The only information from HP is to remove the print cartriges, keep unplugging the printer and plugging it in several times and then hit a combination of keys on the key pad. This does not seem to work. Any clues? It appears I am not the only one who sees a link withthis phenom and ITunes.

Try unistalling Itunes and reinstall without the option for automatic updates on the Apple download site. reinstall printer software.

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

I am having trouble printing via wireless with HP Office Jet 6500A printer in our new residence. It worked in our other house but not here. I have to print via USB connection

Any ideas on how I can get a regular wireless connection with HPOffice Jet 6500A from my Mac Book Pro? It used work well and wirlessly in our previous home with a Broadband conection through the router. Would moving to ADSL have caused the issue now or is it the printer? I have had it work about three times but have resorted to plugging in via USB port. Two viviting techos have not been able to fathom it out either.

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

HP Office Jet 4630 Printer seems to be installed correctly but doesn't print

I have Windows Vista on my laptop and am trying to install a new HP OJ 4630 e-all-in-one wireless printer. Drivers installed completely. I can see the printer just fine on my network. I can scan from printer to laptop. But I cannot print from this laptop. A print error message will pop up saying that the software cannot see the printer. Is the printer installed?
Using the HP Print and Scan Doctor, a test page will not print, but an internal page will. There seems to be some sort of port config error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.

Using 8600 software with older office jet on same network

is it possible to use the Office Jet 8600 printer driver and software system (version 22) with other older office jet printers on the same network, such as a 4500?   My interest is in scanning, fax-printing, and setting up digital fax reception to a network attached storage device, rather than to a wintel pc computer running all the time.

You're going to have to access your routers admin pages and check the DHCP address range. This is the 'automatic' IP that it hands out to your devices.   IP for your router are typically 192.168.1.2 thru .254. 192.168.1.1 is typically reserved for the router itself.   Set the DHCP range to 192.168.1.100 thru .254. This now leaves static IP's 192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99.   Set the printer to something like 192.168.1.10.
Now change the wireless channel in the router to channel 1. Save settings.   Now try.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

You might want to consider "voting with your feet" and taking your business to another bank. When they tell you the upgrade is the problem, it is really their problem and not yours. If you don't want to do that, the suggestion that you try another browser is absolutely correct.

Hi midandco,
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer with theOS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Please let me know.

Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

Hello rcblv. In order to assist you, I need to determine if the issue is hardware or software related. I want you to make a photocopy and perform a printer status report. I've included a link to the manual of this printer in case you need it. Let me know as soon as possible what the results are. I'm only here to help!

dawie,
Here is a link to a post that has some good information on mirror image printing and what has worked for some other people. You should be able to go to Control Panel>Printers>right click on printer>Properties>under General tab click Printing Preferences>under Advanced Tab click Mirror Image ON. However, like i said others have had some issues with this. Hopefully you will find the link below helpful.

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.

What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document

Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.
