aacosta,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
You need software installed on your computer to use all the advanced features of the printer.
Select your printer HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer Series
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
Software controls the programs that interact with the User
General Installation Instructions
Open  HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
 Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
Next:
If available, you may wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities
HINT:
Install the Utilities / Tools first; the little installation packages are smaller in size
·         If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
NOTES: 
On the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer, you can find helpful videos to assist with the installation.
Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
If using a USB connection:  Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
Ethernet:  If the printer supports Ethernet, you may connect the printer to the network (and assign the printer an IP address at the router, if you like).  Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is turned on and then install the printer software.
After the initial installation is complete and working, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update
There is valuable information at the printer’s website, including manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.  Bookmark the page.

  • Have trouble using external hard drive that has my iTunes playlist from old mac... want to use external with new macbook pro..

    How can I use my external harddrive that has my itunes playlist to my new macbook pro?

  • I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.  

  • Power unit from older MacBook Pro - using it with newer model

    I once had a MacBook Pro, one of the early version, bought somewhere in August 2006. Now I have the power unit that is left from it. I want to use it with my current MacBook Pro which is newer model, but not the one which is currently sold - it is NOT the unibody model, it looks exactly like the previous model, but with better spec, and the notable difference is that on the previous model the green diode near camera had a single hole, and the newer model has lots of tiny miniholes there, which makes it completely invisible unless the diode is lit.
    (unfortunately I have no idea how to identify those two models more correctly - model numbers or whatever)
    When I compare the power units - the one which I have with my current model, and the one which is left from the previous, the newer is a bit smaller, and the power output markings are a bit differently organised, not totally identical, but they show what I understand is same voltage/amperage.
    I'm still a bit cautious about using the power unit from the older model. Did anyone tried it, is it safe?

    Next time you can use Mactracker to identify your machines exactly:

    Go to >About this Mac>More Info and you will see the Model Name and Model Identifier.
    Good luck!

  • I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3922 controller. I want to use it with LabView inst

    alled in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface. Which way would be easier for developing my own instrument driver: a new GPIB controller + interface or 2915 Kinetic Sys. PCI-bus in-slot interface? Can the latter interface be used with LabView?
    Many thanks.
    Victor. I have got a 1500 Kinetic Systems CAMAC crate and 3932 controller. I want to use it with LabView installed in PCI-bus IBM PC, which does not have GPIB interface. Which way would be easier for developing my own instrument driver: a new GPIB controller + interface or 2915 Kinetic Sys. PCI-bus in-slot interface? Thanks

    I couldn't find an Instrument Driver for the 3932 crate controler. There is a driver for the 3988: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/045f8392cc4d1b01862568ab005fbb49?OpenDocument
    If you look at the driver it isn't too complex. Well ... actaully there are certain differences when using the 3988 GPIB controller that the driver takes care of that relate to correctly passing commands (FAN).
    If the 3922 controller is similar then maybe you can use the 3988 driver and modify it to meet your needs. I'm not familar with the 2915 Kinetic system so I'm not sure what would be easier.
    If you have a GPIB board, then you could try using the 3988 driver with your 3922 controller and see if you can modify the driver to get things to work.
    I
    've only used the 3988 and that was quite three years ago but it might be worth a try.
    Best of luck,

  • Using printer with cellphone and ipad

    Do I need my printer hooked to a computer or can I just use it for my iPad and cell phone (Samsung galaxy 5). My desk top computer took a dive but I want to use printer for pics on my cell and ipad

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I understand you are trying to use your HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One printer with your iPad and Android phone. I'd love to help you with this. Was the printer connected wirelessly when you were using it with your computer? If it is still connected to your Wireless network, then you'll be able to print from your mobile devices. On the Android, search for HP ePrint in your Play Store and download it. (Note: the phone will need to have the Wifi turned on and connected to the same network as the printer). On the iPad, open your app store and search for the HP ePrint app. Both devices should be able to work using the same app. Hope this helps!

  • I have an iPod mini 6GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it work?

    I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

    Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

  • No subscription found - want to use encore with premiere cc

    i have a cc subscription as a student and i want to use encore with premiere cc on a mac. i downloaded the cs6 version of premiere, tried to install but it says it can't find a subscription (even thought i am logged in with my adobe id).  I saw on another help doc that i have to obtain encore from cs 6.  I already have premiere cc installed and when i go back to the creative cloud apps i don't get the choice to install past versions of premiere. it just gives me the option to uninstall and manage app is greyed out.
    Can someone assist.  I just want to use encore with premiere cc.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (one-year) at a special rate of 17 a month.  It should be a complete plan.  I'll read the info at the link. Thanks. 
    Update: I did try using the instructions at the link which are as follows:
    To download and install previous versions of apps, such as CS6, do the following:
    Open the CC Desktop application and go to the Apps panel.
    Filter the apps by Previous Versions.
    Choose a version from the Install menu.
    But the only options i had for premiere were uninstall or manage.  i didn't see an option for cs 6.  I decided to try this link to download premiere cs 6 so I can elect to just install encore and the subscription wasn't recognized. Download CS6 products

  • If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space, I mean I have to delete mu hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using to with new information?

    If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space [externak hard drive], I mean I have to delete my hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using it with new information?

    Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
    If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
    You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
    You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

  • I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college.  I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA.  My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop

    I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college.  I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA.  My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop and my desktop, do i have to wait until I enroll again or do I have to purchase the product again in order to put it on another computer?

    Well that does change the story. If you purchased a PC version of CS6, the license is PC only. It can only be installed on a second PC for your own use.
    If you buy a Mac, you would either buy another $350 copy of Photoshop Mac, or agree to a swap, that is exchange the PC license for a Mac license, giving up all rights to the PC license.
    If you have the disposable income for it, get a $350 Photoshop Extended Mac license as well.
