Trying to download driver for printer but unable to find device on wireless network

I was having trouble printing from my Macbook Pro to my HP Photosmart 5510 printer, so removed the printer and then tried to re-install the driver from the HP site.  I go through the process but then my mac is unable to find the printer - the circle keeps going round trying to find it - but no luck.  I have turned the printer on and off but no joy.  Help please - thanks

    Hello,
    I see that you're having an issue installing the software. Have you tried installing the software from a different browser? 
    Does this happen on chrome and IE?

  • Unable to Find Address Without Wireless Network Co...

    Nokia Maps v.2 on my phone attempts to search for an address on-line every time I enter a destination point. 99% of time it works great but only when I have wireless network coverage (I am using AT&T Wireless). However, we just went to Maine, where ATT's wireless coverage stinks. In the area where we had no wireless coverage the phone was attempting to find the address on-line and after a minute or so would return a message "unable to find the address."
    Since I had Maine maps downloaded on the phone, how do I get the phone to use the databased stored on the phone instead?

    Yup, an IP of 169.254....is self-assigned when it cannot get one from the router.  The WPS button does not reset the router.
    Do this on the printer:   Setup > Network > Wireless Setup WIzard. Follow the instructions.

    unable to find appropriate driver for my mcbook air using a ricoh aficio mp36501SP network printer.  had similar problem with another ricoh copier/printer, but was able to resolve that problem entering ip address.  this one wants job code.  i don't believe mac allows for input on job code or printer code for permission to print

    I'm having similar problems with an HP OfficeJet 6500. One suggestion that improved the situation, but did not totally solve the problem, was to select "OfficeJet Pro L7700" for its drivers.
    One other suggestion is to turn off the printer, then simultaneously hold down the "#" and "9" keys and turn the printer back on. This hot key seems to reset the printer to factory defaults, allowing you to set things up anew.
    Finally, kvetch to HP. Their networking software clearly has problems in its relationship to OSX, but nobody on either side seems motivated to bring in a good therapist.

    I have a Canon LBP5360 laser printer connected via USB cable to my MacPro running 10.6.8 
    I have downloaded the latest UFR II driver. (UK Version)
    I am trying to connect to the printer but the printer is not  appearing in my Print/Fax Preferences.
    When I click the box "More Printers" under the Default printer the drop down box gives me a heading "Canon IPv6 (UFRII) with the option to add or cancel. (The add is highlighted). But there are no printers showing in the box. Nothing. Can anyone help?
    Is there a problem with my Mac setup or maybe a setting in my printer?

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    There have been reported intermittent problems with some of the Support pages.
    See if this works.  I was able to open the Page (located in the USA):
    General Instructions to Install the Printer Software 6520
    Alternative - not tested.  It does appear that this resource is using the HP ftp site to provide the required downloads.  Just to be safe:  I recommend that you use your Security Software to scan the package after it is downloaded.  Be aware and be careful of any non-HP sites when downloading.

    I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time.  Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them.  Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

    If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
    Maybe here:

    Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

    I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I realized that my laptop only has 2GB of memory. It's a MacBook Pro 13in bought in 2009. Is it true that I'm able to upgrade up to 8GB of memory. Seems like 4GB of space is a lot for a single program to be running.. A bummer I'll have to save up for more memory.

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?
