    Hi DJ2512,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 2512 that is not able to open the Printer Assistant, it opens to text pages. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to assist you!
    From what you've described, it sounds like your Printer Assistant is opening to a Notepad page. I'd suggest that you follow this HP Printer Assistant Opens with a Script Error or in Notepad document to get the issue resolved.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

    I have researched the whole subject and the closest thing to my case is one with a red light. I tried the toothpic manoevre suggested by pany with no results. Please help me.

  • Macbook pro headphone jack think there something in it

    I have a MacBook Pro i bought it 1 year ago, the audio out on it wont turn off and so the speakers on my Mac dont turn back on even when there is nothing in the audio out. I can see the red light is still on when I look in to the port. Intrestingly on my Windows side it works fine no problems so im thinking a software problem on lion is the cause as it only started happening after I updated. Any ideas or any fixs anyone knows ???

    Hi L,
    There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting an audio plug, gently wiggling it, and then removing the audio plug.

  • HP C410b, Windows XP SP3, is there a fix for svchost excessive cpu utilisation in wired network

    PC has ground to a halt because of excessive svchost cpu activity.  Seems to be searching for the printer all the time (even though static ip set).  I can manually stop the HP Network Services but every time I use the printer it starts again and the current driver set doesn't stop it again.  Is there a solution (new driver or workaround) or do I try USB to one PC and printer sharing?
    I'm annoyed by this, especially as other models seem to have had the same issue over a few years and the manuals are so simple as to be useless.

  • Very low volume on headphone jack on MBP 13" but no red light

    Hi I am looking for solution for my problem where in I am currently getting very low volume on headphone jack. There was no problem before, everything used to work perfectly fine.
    I couldn't find comprehensive solution for this. Could anyone please point me to the correct thread if solution is already available.
    my details:
    MBP 13" Snow leopard, 10.6.5 - First Gen. Unibody MAC.
    problem: Very low volume when headphone is connected.
    Things: I have tried:
    1. Headphone is fine. Works correctly on windows PC and on my iphone.
    2. Tried system pref. volume is max.
    3. Upon connecting headphone to MBP it is detected as headphone.
    4. Tried Audio MIDI setup, settings seem to be correct 44.1KHz 2ch-16 bit
    5. There is NO red light from headphone jack.
    6 Tried poking toothpicks in to audio out but didn't help.
    7 Tried creating new temp. admin user account but headphone low volume remains.
    8. Tried safe boot - no joy.
    9 Safe boot was followed by normal boot-> Ran Disk Util tried repair permission. No luck.
    10. Also followed steps to clear PR RAM etc. - problem remains.
    11. Heard about logic board replacement but don't want to go by that route.
    Can anyone point me to correct thread or provide the solution..
    help is much appreciated.
    Thanks...

    I have the exact same problem. i have  a macbook pro 13in (mid 2009) with extremely low volume coming from headphone jack. i brought the computer into my local apple store today and they diagnosed my problem as being the result of a faulty logic board. my laptop is out of warranty so they have to send it to the apple repair depot for 3-5 days. the charge is a flat $280 (tax not included). the solution seems extreme though and i hope i don't get any "kernel panicking" with a new board. i will update... also there is no accidental damge to my laptop whatsoever. the problem arrose 2-3wks ago

  • Sound coming from headphone jack becomes heavily distorted at the slightest movement of the headphone cable.

    I use headphones almost exclusively of my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, way out of warranty) so this has really been annoying me. For about 1-2 weeks now whenever the wire from the headphones I have plugged in to the jack moves, even slightly, the sound coming from the left side disappears almost entirely while the sound from the right side becomes quiet and filled with static. Strangely, it doesn't appear to happen with everything that I'm doing on my computer. For example when playing games the sound seems to work just fine for the most part, but playing music or watching Netflix causes issues whenever the cord moves, which is really annoying.
    To get it to stop, I have to move wiggle the plug around in the jack and slowly move the cord into a place where it will not be affected by movement very easily. I read that some people have been able to get around this by buying an external sound card and using the headphone jack on there, but I'd rather not do that if possible as there isn't really anywhere that I can put it without most likely picking up some interference. Plus I only have two USB ports, so I have to use a powered USB hub thats about 2-3 feet away from my computer for most things. Anyone know if this is a viable solution or how much it would cost to fix at the Apple Store?

    Also, I have tried restarting my computer, messing with the audio settings, and various other settings that I thought might help.

  • Split the headphone jack?

    will be taking a flight with 2 kids and want them to be able to watch a movie on my macbook pro at the same time - but there's just 1 headphone jack. is there something that will allow me to split the jack so that i can plug in 2 sets of headphones at the same time - kind of like an audio out power strip so both kids can watch movie at once?

    Hi u,
    Yep:

  • Zen Micro(Original/Color) Headphone Jacks: Finally Solved or N

    I haven't been to these forums in a very, very long time. The last time I was here was when Creative barely released the Zen Micro Photo onto the market. I have the original zen micro without color screen and I was wondering if the infamous headphone jack issue has been fixed permenently on either of them. Have they?

    2 months ago i sent in my Zen Micro 6GB player for that particular problem. I bought it in November '05. Nope, they still don't know how to make a working headphone jack.
    Wow no kidding eh? Has anyone bought a Zen Micro during 06 that has this problem?

  • Nomad Zen 20g - Headphone jack isn't work

    Does anyone know where and/or how I could get the headphone jack on my Zen fixed? I love the player but need to keep jiggling the headphone jack to hear the music. Thanks!

    Unfortunately this is a design flaw on many of the older model ZEN jukebox players. The contacts on the circuit board where the headphone jack connects come loose and cause the headphone jack to separate from the board. The only way to fix it is with a careful re-solder job, that is, if you don't want to send it back to Creative for an expensive repair job.
    Here's a really good step-by-step article complete with pictures showing how to reaffix the headphone port to the board:

  • Possible water damage, says there is headphone connected when there isn't, what do I do?

    I bought my iPhone 4s on October 23, and it was working fine until yesterday. I made a call after I got off work, and couldn't hear anything through the headpiece. No ringing or voice, so I hung up. I then checked the volume and it showed the ringer volume with (headphones). There were no headphone connected. I tried putting headphones in normally, but it wouldn't make the same "click" it used to. There doesn't appear to be anything stuck in the jack, so I don't know what the problem is. I am a dishwasher and keep my phone in it's case in my back pocket and don't take it out while I work. It has ghost armor too, but could it possibly have gotten wet through the charger connector and/or headphone jack? There doesn't appear to be anything wrong other than the headphone jack, but I'm worried. What can I do?

    Try plugging/unplugging the headphone jack many times very rapidly.
    If this does not work try Resetting the iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go).

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
