Will C4480 printer work with OSX 10.9.4

Hello. When I bought my iMac six years ago, I got a new C4480 printer which has sat in the loft, still in the box and unused until today when my "old faithful" bit the dust. The iMac is running OSX 10.9.4.
When I try to print, I get the messages "HP Supplies Tool cannot be opened because of a problem" and then "Photosmart  cannot be opened because of a problem" ... and no printing.
I've checked Apple Menu > Software Update and there's no new software to download.
Will the C4480 work with OSX Mavericks or is it just too old?
Thanks in advance.

Hello there @Chiefsub !
Your Photosmart C4480 should still work on Mavericks. See the link below for all of the information you'll need to have it installed. I would suggest ensuring the printer will make copies to just test the hardware to make sure the printer is functioning properly.

  • Will aiport express work with osx v 10.6.6

    Will airport express work with an old netcomm NB6 router modem using osx v 10.6? Or do I need to buy a better modem first?

    My airport express is quite old. Model A1088.
    This model was discontinued about 7-8 years ago,  so the product is at least that old, probably older than that. On average, the Express will last about 5 years.
    I can't seem to get my airport utility to find this. Airport utility is the latest version.
    Not sure what you mean by latest version of AirPort Utility. That would be a 6.x version, which does not support the older model of the Express that you have.
    Or, did you mean to say that you have the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which would be the correct version for the Mac running (10.6.6)?
    Please clarify.

  • Does ANY printer work with OSX Lion??

    I have a brand new iMac and NONE of my 3 printers will work with it.  Yes, I have installed the updates for the drivers.  I have communicated with the tech support people for each printer (Canon, HP, and Epson) and none of them can help me.  I have tried to use them wirelessly and wired, to no avail.  I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled.  I have tried every suggested idea on the printer websites. 
    I'm just wondering if there is a printer that actually does work with Lion?  I love Lion; wouldn't trade it.  But I have to be able to print for my business. 
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Summer

    Thank you for all the responses...
    Actually, I do know how to add the printer; I am fairly computer literate and have installed numerous printers over the years.  I did not have any trouble installing it and adding it to the preferred printer list. 
    It is definitely in my list of available printers and it is connected; that is not the issue.  This is not a "user error" issue or the tech support people would have caught it by now... this is a distinctly Lion-printer issue, hence my original question. 
    The printer actually starts printing whatever I ask it to; but then it stops halfway through and the tech support people cannot figure it out.  My Canon prints beautifully, is the default printer in the printer list, is connected to my Mac via USB and immediately begins printing, but then after a few lines or even after the first page printed, I get an error about communication. 
    This is what happens with all 3 printers when I try to print.
    For those of you who responded that your printer works well with Lion, are you using the newest version OS X v10.7.1 ?
    How long have you been using your printer with this version?
    The Epson is the printer Apple sold/gave me when I purchased the Mac 3 weeks ago, but I have not been able to get it to work right yet.  I am willing to purchase another printer if I know it will work.  I am getting too far behind on my business printing...

    I don't know which forums those are. Maybe this will help:
    Try creating a new admin user for the installation. Let me know if you need help doing that. Also, if you use any kind of antivirus software, disable it while installing.

    Yes you can use AirPrint as long as the printer is on the same network as the iPad.
    You can also try Google cloud, I will be giving you links below on how to go about it.

  • Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?

    Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?
    If so where do I get the drivers/software to run it?
    I have used it with aquire, but only in flat bed scanning.
    I am not able to use the film/slide mode anymore because the software that came with it is for 32 bit macine code.
    Any ideas?

    I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I have an Epson Perfection 1670 flatbed scanner.  I plugged it into a USB port after installing Lion, and it works fine with both the Image Capture and Preview applications.  ("FIne", for me - I don't have a need for slide/transparancy scanning.  Image Capture recognizes the scanner can do it, giving two modes for transparancy scanning, but in a quick and dirty test a minute ago it didn't seem to work.  Since I don't need the capability, I'm not going to struggle with it to see what I've done wrong.)
    Good luck

  • Will my HP Printer work with Windows 10 ?

     Are you considering upgrading to Win 10, will my printer work?” So you are considering upgrading to Windows 10 or you have Migrated to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8 and you now think will my Printer work as it used to? Microsoft and HP worked together to make the 'upgrade to Windows 10' process as smooth as possible...this included migrating the previous OS (WIn7 & Win8.x) driver & software to Windows 10 during the upgrade. In many instances, this should go smoothly and user should NOT have to do anything... The device should be connected and working.. However, in those instances that it's not, or they need to install software/drivers, they can download the drivers/software from hp.com and install (or re-install) for their product on Win10 Please note : If your device had full supported (not just basic print or scan)in Windows 7 or 8 then your device is supported, but may not immediately show up on hp.com for Windows 10: Please download the Win8.1 drivers and use those (they have been tested and worked with Win10)  For further information on Windows 10 and Printing see these links Inkjet Printers Windows 10 Support Laserjet Windows 10 Support    

    Thank you so much for your reply and help on this matter. I thought HP would have the updated drivers for Windows 10 but I have to use my printer everyday and didn't know how long it would be before the updated drivers would be available or when the final version of Windows 10 will be released. I'm scheduled to install Windows 10 on my laptop on the 29th. Wonder if I should cancel my reservation and wait till I know for sure HP will have the drivers ready to install on my printer? Again, THANKS for any help you have and can provide on this matter!!

  • Will Elements 12 work with my Canon printer model pixma ix6520?

    will Elements 12 work with my Canon printer model pixma ix6520?

    You must install the TWAIN driver:

    However, it may still not work, since some scanners are not compatible with the 64-bit PSE 12. Epsons have the most problems, unfortunately.

  • Nothing will print. My printer works with every other program, but not this one!

    Nothing will print. My printer works with every other program, but not this one!

    I see the printer, in blue when I click on the hardware tab. Actually there are 2 things listed that have to do with the printer.
    The first one is called:
                    HP Photosmart Prem C410 series (DOT4PRIN.... and under the Type it is listed as IEEE1284.4...
    The next is listed as:
                    HP Phototsmart Prem C410 series and under the Type heading it says Printers.
    I don't know which one to pick.  So when I choose the name highlighted in blue, what do I do to change the name?
