What will happen if i install this printer software update

RE: HP software update 2.11
i have an hp printer (of wich i am getting a replacement when i can)
i used to have a pc and the software was a nightmare it always wanted to update
and i dont trust or like hp software
will this update install an hp software program
i like the mac printer software i use it to scan and print just fine without the hp software
maybe a wierd question .. i might be a little scard from to much windows exposer haha

I don't blame you for your concern, but what will happen is probably nothing. No apps are installed, just new or updated drivers.
If you click the link associated with that update you will see a comprehensive list of all the updated HP drivers. The update probably delivers drivers for newer HP printers, leaving the older ones unaffected. If your existing printer is working you can just ignore the update.
I'm still using a LaserJet that I bought in 1993; the update didn't change anything.
If you are in the market for a new printer I recommend researching other manufacturers.

  • What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo??

    What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo? I have one of the first Intel MacBook Pro's with a Core Duo processer, I'm having hard drive problems so want to format it and re-install my OS. I can't find my Snow Leopard disk so the easiest thing to do would be to download Lion but I have been told that my MacBook needs to have a Core 2 Duo processer so I just wondered if anyone else has tried Lion on a MacBook like mine??

    Nothing.
    Lion will not run on a core duo, it needs a core 2 duo as a minimum
    see Technical Specifications
    Also you will need SL running to access the App Store to download Lion. So In a number of ways this won;t work.

  • What will happen if i install lollipop from another region ?

    Hello guys,
    I have Z2 and it seems that sony has released lollipop for nordic regions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/lollipop-690-z2-z3-z3c-t3056997)
    but mine is UK version. (not carrier locked or something)
    I wana know if its safe to install this version on my phone. And What will happen if i install it ?

    There are different model number and these are what let us know where in the world or area you are and what bands or networks frequency's your phone will work on so Flashing a EU firmware onto a US device may make your phone stop working ie:receiving a network signal you may also notice that a Z3 for example has different model numbers like D6603, D6643, D6653 and D6616 so flashing a D6653 firmware onto a D6603 could make your device what's known as a brick

  • What will happen with my installed softwares?

    Hi I am using MacBook Pro with C2D and having latest version of SL. But I have installed lots of software useful for my business including virtual machine and I am using Windows 7 ultimate on it. So I am wondering what will happen if I upgrade this to Lion? Do I need to install everything again or it will be as it is like on my snow leopard?

    I don't know about VMware, but I can tell you that when I opened Windows XP the first time in Parallels after upgrading to Lion, I had to re-setup the virtual machine. Other than this, no problems. CS3 and older WILL NOT run in Lion, but CS4 and newer run without problems.
    Go to About this Mac > applications, and here you can see which of your applications are PowerPC, thus not compatible with Lion.
    Cheers

  • Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.

    Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.
    After the update, the printer prints correctly, but scanning from the Print and Scan, Preview or Image Capture fails with "Waiting for scanner" followed be "Failed to open a session on the device." Followed by the device disappears form ImageCapture.
    I've tried restarting to the computer and printer and plugging it into another USB port - the results are the same. Printer utility hangs too.
    Solutions?

    did you try this:
    Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
    In the Applications folder or from the Dock, click Preview.
    From the Preview File menu, select Import from Scanner.
    Select your printer from the list. The details of the scan display.
    If a 'Software for this device is not installed' message displays after you select your printer, click Install, and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    Click Show Details to view scan settings and options.
    NOTE: Make sure that you select either the Flatbed mode or theDocument Feeder mode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan. 
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan.

  • What will happen when I install Leopard?

    So when leopard comes out in a few weeks and I install it, what will happen to all the files and apps on my computer. Will they be gone? Will I have to redo everything?
    This is my first transition on a new OS X. I switched right aftr Tiger came out. What is going to happen?

    Fair comment!
    If you want the full nine yards:
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

  • Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

    I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    and press return
    This will show the Library folder

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

  • What will happen to iPod 5G's info when I do a fresh Windows install?

    Title basically says it all. I've been using my iPod Video as a storage device as well as for music, and I'm going to do a clean install of Windows XP in the near future-my CD/DVD drive has somehow failed to respond (code 41), so reinstalling Windows to factory settings should do the trick. Only problem I can foresee is what will happen to all the data on my iPod when I reinstall the CD software for iTunes and my iPod drivers-will all the data on my iPod disappear when I reconnect it to my laptop for the first time?
    Just wondering if anyone's done this before, as I'll assume it's a typical topic.

    When the iPod is connected to the PC after reinstalling Windows, a message will appear asking you if you want to change the computer the iPod is associated with will appear if iTunes is installed; pressing Erase & Sync on this dialog box will delete all content on the iPod that was synced from iTunes. Content copied to the iPod outside of iTunes will not be erased by iTunes unless you explicitly restore the iPod.

  • Uninstalled then re-installed iTunes... What will happen to my synced iPod?

    My computer had a virus and had to be totally re-done, and in the process it removed iTunes and some of my music files.
    My iPod was synced to one of the playlists on iTunes.
    If I reinstall iTunes, then connect my iPod to the computer, what will happen?
    Will it try to sync or not?
    If it does, how do I prevent it from doing that?
    And if it doesn't, will it be possible to edit the songs on it?

    If you lost your itunes library file (itunes library.itl in your itunes folder) when you reinstall itunes you'll probably need to reimport all your music and recreate your playlists; it will be like you just installed itunes for the first time. When you first connect your ipod itunes will ask you first if you want to sync that ipod, so you could always say 'no' and set it up to sync later.
    I think when you try to sync your ipod itunes will try to remove the music files that are currently on your ipod that aren't in the itunes library - I think it will ask first and there might be an option to not delete those songs - sorry I can't remember right now. It might just delete them without asking. If you really want to avoid this there is an option to manually manage the music on your ipod but it's definitely more time-consuming.
    If you lost music files from your computer that are still on your ipod, you can try this program. I had a friend who got an old ipod from his brother and used this to copy the songs onto his computer - it will only do a certain number of songs, so only do the ones that you might have lost. If you want to try this you should do it before you reinstall itunes, because when you connect the ipod itunes will automatically come up if it's installed on the computer.

  • I support a very large school district currently running Firefox 3.6. What will happen at end of life date? We're in the middle of online testing this week.

    I run the test center for a very large school district with over 120k students. We've got a current deployed base of 54k client machines using Firefox 3.6. We haven't upgraded due to multiple reasons, the most important of which is removing the possibility of using In Private Browsing from the students, and dealing with plugin-updates for the non digital natives (read dumber than a bag of hammers users) that make up the majority of the client base.
    We're testing ESR now, but just found out that end of life for 3.6 is tomorrow, 4/24. We are currently in the middle of statewide online testing. The question is, what will happen tomorrow when the browser goes end of life. The ESR wiki mentions that "an update to the current version of Desktop Firefox will be offered through the Application Update Service"
    So the main question is, are my students/teachers going to get a popup telling them they have to update the browser if we have the updates already turned off? If so, can I turn it off remotely using SCCM, because it will cause all kinds of havoc.
    Please advise asap, and thanks in advance.

    We had to do some serious gymnastics to remove at least most of the ability to use IPB. We removed it from the gui, but unfortunately, if they know the hotkey, they can still bring it up. Security has some serious headaches with this, as by law they have to be able to track where students go, and going with private browsing removes their ability to do forensic work they're required to be able to do. Not a very well thought out feature from Mozilla in my opinion, but it is what it is. Successive versions have made it even more difficult to remove even the gui portion.
    We do plan to release ESR due to the aforementioned security issues, but testing has been slow.
    But thanks for the reply. I think we can turn off the updates if it isn't already done.

  • What will happen if I try to install XP SP1 under Boot Camp?

    Hi all. I'm new to the discussion and to the Mac world.
    Before I go buy XP sp2 or sp3; does anyone know what will happen (nothing will work or limited functionality) if I try to install XP SP1?
    Don't want to try it if I'm going to "break" something...
    thanks in advance.

    Macbook_Juice:
    Please do not bother to install Windows XP with Service Pack 1. It will not work and the installation will more than likely not finish. Save yourself the headache and get the right copy of Windows which work with Boot Camp.

  • What will happen if i dont back my mac up before installing os s yosmite beta

    what will happen to my mac if i dont back it up before installing os x yosmite ?

    We have no idea what might happen; it is not good to run beta software on a regular production machine. We also cannot help with any problem you might encounter - you will need to contact Apple and/or provide them feedback due to the confidentiality agreement (you're not allowed to discuss the beta anywhere and we're not allowed to discuss it).
    So, if you want to install it, do so on an external drive or partition so your regular system is safe.
