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

Why can't I move or delete a simple destop clock after instaLLING Lion?

why can't I move or delete a simple destop clock after instaLLING Lion?

Are your refering to the printer driver software? You'll need to go to HP's site and see if they have updated drives for Lion for your printer model. There site might also have oter useful information regardsing using this printer with Lion.
In fact a quick Google search turned up this HP site OS X 10.7 Lion: Installing and Using the Printer with Lion which might answer your questions
good luck

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 backup my iPhone to my PC even after downloading the latest version of iTunes?

I tried to download the new i OS7 for my iPhone 4s, but during the sxtracting process of the download the program merely said "There was an error backing up 'my phone'." I already have the latest version of iTunes so I'm stumped on what the problem could be. Can you help?

Yes. I just solved the problem on my PC. Here goes...
Issue: My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
Solution:
1. You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite". This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
3. Uninstall Mobile Me.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Reinstall Mobile Me.
6. Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application. I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
This is where the file was located:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
I hope this helps,
Ron

Why am I having problems with my memory on my 3GS after downloading os10.5 upgrade?

Ever since we upgraded to the latest OS, the memory on my 3GS is low. Everything moves so slow when surfing the net or on social networking sites.

My iphone battery is loosing 1% per minute talking on a call - that is not exceptable given that it never behaved this way prior to the 7.1 update. I have gone through and turned off everything that I read that may be causing the new batterey drain - but nothing is helping.

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/
or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/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.
