Why can't I print with an HP and a mac using PSE9

Why can't I print using an HP printer and a mac with Mountain Lion and PSE9

HP printers tend to have long names. Try renaming your printer to something more simple.
Click on System Preferences in the dock or from the menu after clicking the apple icon (top left)
Under Hardware choose Print & Scan
Right-click or Ctrl+Click on your HP Printer and choose rename printer
Type a new name e.g. My Printer (you can also add a location if you wish)
Then click OK

  • HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
    1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
    2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
    3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
    This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I print with Adobe XI?

    I print PDFs all the time. Suddenly I can't. The problem isn't my printer, as it prints not only Word docs but it also printed the test page from the Adobe troubleshooting link. I assume the problem is related to updating to XI.
    Please tell me what to do. Begging ...

    Today it works, Pat, but let me explain in case this can help someone else. Nothing happened after I went through the printing motions. I'd press print, or Cntl P, or print from the pull-down menu. The dialog box would pop up, but once I pressed Print nothing happened. I even tried using an alternative dialog box. The box stayed there, but ... it just stayed there.
    I did a bunch of troubleshooting based on ideas I found on other boards and sites, including trying to print them as an images. No change. But, one place suggested I press "Save as" before printing. I did that, and suddenly the entire process worked. It makes no sense to me, but I was happy with the results.
    Of course, now my printer won't fax from the computer. That headache is for another day.

  • Why can't I print with the new version of Firefox (4.0)?

    My problem has to do with printing web pages, but I am not able to change values in my Print "Properties" tab before printing. When I click to change paper size, orientation, pages to print, # of copies, etc. from the "Properties" tab, I get an error message that reads: "Prop Res DLL not loaded". I have to open Internet Explorer (and I HATE Microsoft) in order to be able to change my print properties and effectively print web pages.

  • Why can't I print pdfs since installing Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 12?

    Two days ago I installed the software update 12 for Java for Mac OS X 10.6 now pdfs I try to print come out blank or with data, only the company's logo

    I read the article.  This problem of mine occurs when I try to print from an email attachment not from a website. 
    I am in Mail not Safari.  I click the little triangle to show the attachment then double click the icon of the attachment, the pdf opens in adobe reader but when I try to print it the page that comes out of my printer is blank or shows only the masthead of the company but no content. 
    I tried a two month old email attachment and got the same results.
    I looked for the plug-ins mentioned in the article but coul not find them on my Mac in the applications file.
    Does anyone know how to uninstall the "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 12" ??

  • Why can't I get my old bookmarks and passwords back using the 'Old Firefox Data' folder?

    Hi,
    Ok.....
    I have just recovered my Samsung laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start)
    I have the 'Old Firefox Data' folder on an external hard drive that was created a few weeks ago when I refreshed Firefox
    I've tried this many times but with no luck what so ever:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
    I've re-installed Firefox 3 times
    I've created new profiles and deleted others
    2 Days down and I'm still can't get any of my bookmarks or passwords etc and for some reason when I create a new profile I can't find it as it's not in the location 'Profile Manager' says it is.
    I'm now total lost and getting stressed out as I really need this data.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply's.
    I've been able to restore/apply all of my data (bookmarks, passwords etc) on my girl friends computer without any issues at all, therefore it's not something I'm doing wrong.
    I've been so involved with trying to get my profile back on my computer I hadn't noticed that Firefox is not operating as it should, I've found:
    - I'm unable to view/open my profile folder from 'Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder' (when I click 'Show Folder' nothing happens) however when I go to 'C:\Users\AutoStar\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles' I can view the data.
    - I'm unable to save any bookmarks
    - Sometimes when I try to close a tab it will not close as such however once the 'x' is clicked I'm then unable to view the page but the tab still stays visible
    As I said I recovered the laptop back to the day I purchased it (for a fresh start) so Firefox was a fresh install I've also uninstalled and re-installed a few times now but the result is always the same.
    Any ideas?

  • Why can't I print to scale?

    Adobe reader. It doesn't let you print on the scale you want.
    I'm not talking about that stupid 'print to fit the page' option, which does nothing for most cases. Why can't I print with scale that I want? I'm not asking anyone how I can do it. I've read I can do it through photoshop or changing the printing paper size. Why doesn't the adobe reader have that function at all? It's like the most basic function of a paper reader. IMO, the adobe reader exists so that people can share stuff to 'print'.
    Don't adobe care about the community feedback, or interface? Do they think we're too dumb to figure out scaling so they have to do it for us? What is it? This is probably why Apple is trying to exclude adobe.
    Please reply if you knows why, or if you just want to rant with me.

    Terry,
    I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
    The printing system in OS X is CUPS. To be able to use the network print protocols, you need driver(s) that work with CUPS. Not only does Canon not provide CUPS drivers, but they don't cooperate with the open source community so that Gimp-Print (free CUPS drivers), for example, could support your model. The only CUPS driver (I know of) for your model is available for purchase from www.printfab.net.

  • Why can't I print from my ipad?

    I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
    One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
    Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
    Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
    I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
    My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
    Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

    Thanks guys,
    I seem to have understood by now.
    To sum it up:
    - I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
    - I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
    I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
    GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
    It's a big catch.
    You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
    The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
    All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
    But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
    Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
    Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

  • Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

    Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC?  I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC?  I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed.  Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection.  Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

    Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
    Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.

    replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/

  • Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
    I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
    This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
    Thank you for your continued assistance.

  • Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.
