Wireless installation of Officejet 7410 on a MacOS X under Snow Leopard (10.6.8) fails.

I have an Officejet 7410 wireless printer. It is connected to my wireless home network, as is my new MacBook Pro running MacOS X 10.6.8. The printer works fine (printing and scanning) from Windows 7 equipped PC's. The built in webserver of the printer is perfectly accessible from the MacBook using various webbrowsers. The printer can be used when it is hardwired via the USB port to MacBook. But there is no connection whatsoever when I try to print or configure the printer using software downloaded from HP.
This question was solved.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Won't Scan Under Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard, my new HP Officejet Pro Wireless 8500 all-in-one printer won't scan. It delivers the following error message: "No Scan Options - refer to device documentation".
    Also, when I attempted to check and adjust scan settings using HP's Scan Destinations program, that program hangs and cannot save any setting changes. Then I have to use "Force Quit" to stop the program from hanging up while saving.
    HP's software update reports the printer software is up to date.
    It appears there are a ton of printer problems appearing for people after installing Snow Leopard, but I sure would appreciate any help on solutions if someone also has this problem.
    Thanks much.

    I also just tried connecting my 8500 wireless printer directly via usb and then downloading the HP printer drivers from Apple downloads and reinstalling.
    The install hangs nearly forever on the final step, but eventually says the driver install was successful. However, then when connected via usb, I am unable to print. Printing works when you reconnect via the wireless on the 8500.
    So connecting via usb and reinstalling HP printer drivers does not solve the issue. And it's puzzling, because the list of supported printers under Snow Leopard lists the Officejet Pro8500 Wireless as supporting both printing and scanning.
    Somebody has it wrong.
    If this scanning problem continues very long, I may be forced to uninstall Snow Leopard, because my printer is brand new.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless second paper tray under Snow Leopard

    He there, I have a strange problem with the second (extra) paper tray from the Office Jet Pro 8500. I have setup the tray and activated the option on the driver page on the computers, but no results. No paper is loaded from the tray and there is an error that no paper is loaded in the machine. The printer is connected via ethernet (and a time machine) and I am running snow leopard on all the machines that are connected to the printer. I have installed the latest drivers from Apple and from HP. I know that the paper tray is working, because when I make a copy on the machine localy and force him to use papertray number 2, then there is no problem.
    Does anybody have the same problem?? Thanks

  • Final Cut Studio 2 installation hangs under Snow Leopard

    I've since seen this on two machines and have filed a bug with Apple, but wanted to post to give people a heads up.
    When attempting a new installation of Final Cut Studio 2 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6, the install hung with "about a minute remaining."
    Examination of the running processes using "top" showed one thread spinning in user space using 100% of the CPU:
    <pre>/Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg/Contents/Resources/ConfigureMim eTypes -rescan -verbose</pre>
    Running the same thread by hand succeeded immediately, so manually killing the spinning process seemed to have no ill effects and allowed the installation to proceed as expected.
    Just to be safe I manuallly ran
    <pre>/Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg/Contents/Resources/ConfigureMim eTypes -rescan -verbose</pre>
    again after disc 1 was finished installing but (obviously) while disc 1 was still in the drive.

    Hello,
    I fortunately came across this discussion. I want to install FCS2 on my iMac which is now running under Snow Leopard and I also got stuck at "about a minute" remaining time.
    But it seems that the answer to solve this is give in an answer William has given. The only thing is, I don't get it what to do.
    I typed in the word Top in Terminal I saw that it is indeed "hanging" on ConfigureMimeTypes. Through "show contents" I got to the ConfigureMimeTypes file (at least I think that is what I should do). But then...?
    Another thought was, that I had to install the QuickTimeMpeg2Pro.Pkg. So I have tried that also. But then the same happens, it got stuck at "the remaining one minute issue".
    Can someone please tell me what to do?
    Please consider the fact that I'm not a very technical person and that english is not my native language.
    Thanks a lot.
    Kind regards,

  • Installation of snow leopard 10.6.8 fails on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro fails

    Hi,
    I have bought an official Snow Leopard 10.6.8 DVD at the Apple Store and triy now to boot a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with it in order to install it on this computer.
    The hd of this Macbook has been refreshed and therefore cannot be boot.
    The DVD boots, a grey Apple appears on the screen and then nothings else appends (no menu, no installation bar...). I have tried all methods given in the installation procedure...
    I suspect an incompatibility (firmware, other...) and apparently the original version of MacOS was Snow Leopard 10.6.3 but I don't have it. And I nor can boot to upgrade tsome of these elements... Any Ideao to solve this ?
    Many thanks in advance
    pidji7

    Hello Melophage,
    It is the original hard drive which should have been erased by the previous owner. The problem is, I cannot access it without any OS installed. Or maybe there is a bootable USB or DVD that can do it ?
    Just an indication: when I boot without CD inserted in it, it shows a grey folder icon with a questionmark like this one:
    Thank you for your help
    PS: Yes, I am interested by the replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for my model. Where can I purchase this ?

  • After downloading the Lion installer, it won't install on my 1 TB Snow Leopard boot disk.  Why?

    The disk has been verified, has shown no other problems and is up to date.  Of the other volumes available in my system, only another (much smaller) with Snow Leopard shows as possible for the installation.  The message for the disk I want to use is "This disk cannot be used to boot your computer".  Computer is early 2009 MacPro with plenty of memory, disc to be used has 500 GB free.  I have previously done a successfuil download of the installer, then a successful installation on another small volume, which is now erased, so I don't think there is a download problem.  This installation was over Snow Leopard, which is what it now won't do on another volume.

    Take a look at:

  • Installation error for CS3 Design Standard on iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    I had a fully functioning installation of CS3 on my iMac (Intel 2.16 MHz) and had a hard disc crash.
    After replacing the hard disc, I reinstalled from my original discs, but get the following message:
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product  at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help"
    I uninstalled the program (and ran Adobe Cleaner for CS) ... then reinstalled.   Same message.
    I contacted Adobe installation support and was told that this is an old product and they cannot offer support. I find this response unsatisfying at the least.
    I am baffled because these programs had been running very well prior to the crash ... and all other software came back.
    I need this functionality, but cannot afford to upgrade at this time.
    Suggestions?  Thank you.

  • I get an error when I try to print after installing Lion - worked under Snow Leopard - /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed

    I have not been able to print pictures nor any text since installing Lion.  I receive the message in the subject which is totally meaningless.

    When you upgrade from a previous OS there is always a chance that you will bring some setting that is not compatible with the new OS. This can be the driver as noondaywitch suggests but it can also be the core printing system. In the case of the latter, it is a good idea to reset the printing system when a core error occurs. Note that the reset sets the printing system back to default and removes your currently installed printer and scanner queues. But it does not remove the supporting drivers, so you only need to install the driver again.
    How to Reset the Printing System
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan/Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    Just one additional thing to note. In checking the supported printer list for 10.6 from Apple, your RC545 is not listed so running the Software Update will not provide you with a driver for this printer. So if Epson does not have a driver for 10.6, and it appears that Apple does not provide one, then what you have already from the previous installation is it. And if this doesn't work, then you may have to look at either an alternate driver or getting another printer. But let's wait and see what happens after the reset.

  • Agfa SnapScan Touch no longer supported by MacOS thanks to Snow Leopard

    Since Snow Leopard my Agfa ScanScan Touch scanner is useless. ThanX to Snow Leopard... Even application VueScan cannot get the SnapScan to work. Thanx to this great new OS...

    1. I have a long Apple history and know who is responsible for drivers. I just want to remind you to the situations where Apple came with new OS's or ports and lots of stuff did not work. I will not spend time here to write a history lesson on this.
    But your example was of a currently shipping product (Time Capsule) that is supported by SL. I would have known that you understood the problem if you had chosen a product that had actually been abandoned. I'm guessing that some products that are currently shipping, will not run with 10.7 or 10.8, but almost all of the products I have now will be in the trash or scheduled for replacement due to repair costs which are often higher than replacement. This has happened to us as drive belts fail in printers and scanners. Luckily the $1200 scanners of the '90s have improved to the point where we get better quality/speed in a $100 model shipping today.
    The obsolete 32 bit drivers problem is going to continue and could actually get worse. It's been projected that each new version of OS X from here on out will probably have tighter requirements for drivers to be 64 bit. SL is a transition OS, with very few visible changes for the user. Security updates are still coming out for Leopard, and I think I saw one recently for Tiger but I don't look there very often.
    There is no business reason to upgrade from Leopard for at least another year or until high end applications actually need or take advantage of a 64 bit OS. The additional ram handling is to solve a problem that doesn't exist yet and the programs don't know how to use multiple CPU cores very well, yet.
    They could save MORE environment if they supported larges installed base peripherals. I know the industry needs to keep me selling new stuff which I love to buy, but it hurts my eco feeling to now through something away which is 6 or 8 years old and still technically is perfect....
    More responsible packaging, recycled materials in the actual product, ongoing support for older OS's - that's what I see from companies like Apple. We will see more, as energy efficiency requirements change in the next decade.
    We are also doing something to help. Our older devices are not going into a landfill. There is a local recycling center that is accepting our outdated or defective hardware. The replacement products use less energy and are more productive. We don't feel that the older devices are technically perfect if they consume too much electricity, run slower than our work flow, or require us to keep older inefficient computers on-line. The older machines are wearing out and need new power supplies and hard drives.
    In order to keep using the old SCSI scanner we did keep a Dual G4 that came with Jaguar running in Tiger for a couple of years (Adaptec SCSI drivers disappeared with Leopard). We finally got rid of all SCSI devices and re-purposed one old machine to be a headless Leopard server but the maintenance bills are starting to pile up, it runs hot, it's very noisy (Windtunnel fans), it's not very energy efficient, it's not upgradable to SL server and the new ReadyNAS arrives on next Tuesday. We look forward to shutting of the old power hogs. The server room will be quite a bit cooler and will require less air conditioning. We might even be able to turn the room back into a workspace. The noise and heat made the room uncomfortable to work in.

  • Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

    after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

    If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

  • Sharing Canon Wireless Network Printer on Snow Leopard Server

    Trying to setup a wireless printer to share on the LAN via Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, however the sharing option is not available.
    Configuration:
    Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server (latest updates etc.) (static IP)
    TimeCapsule Wireless network (static IP)
    Canon MP620 Wireless printer (static IP)
    Two MacBook's (DHCP)
    Printer drivers (network drivers, and scanner drivers) from Canon installed on Mac Mini and printer is connected and setup via wireless network on Mac Mini; it is operational and can print from Mac Mini directly without problem
    Sharing option on Mac Mini for the printer is missing in Print Settings (missing checkbox), so unable to share the printer on MacBook's via the Mac Mini, also under Sharing Settings the printer option is not there (assuming because share this printer option is not in the print settings)
    Ideally, I want to setup the printer on the Mac Mini as a print server, without having to hardline (USB) the printer to the Mac Mini.
    Thanks for any help, ideas etc.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    On OS X Server, you need to use the Server Admin utility (Applications > Server ) to share the local print queue. This requires the Print service to be added/started and then a queue created for the local printer.
    Seems unusual that you would want to share a wireless printer from the server. The MacBook 'clients' would still be able to connect directly to this printer without having to connect via the server share so without knowing all the details of your setup it just seems an odd requirement.

  • Installation fails on OS X Snow Leopard

    I have an app using the sidecar installer, when a user tries to install it on Snow Leopard it goes through the process and eventually gets to this error message:
    This occurs when I try to install from a CD. Here's the install log:
    UI SWF load is complete
    stateRunningAppInstaller: appinstaller -runtime "/Volumes/startrungrow/Install Start, Run & Grow Your Business.app/Contents/Frameworks" -withRuntime -url file:///Volumes/startrungrow/srg.air
    App installer failed; exit code 7
    begin quitting
    AIR is not installed after it closes. If the user already has AIR installed, then the installation succeeds.

    I re-downloaded the sidecar installer and it appears to work in my initial test.
    Is it possible that, despite still being AIR 1.5.2, the installer was updated? The installer we shipped and the installer that's up for download have different filesizes.

  • Can't Connect OfficeJet 7410 to new wireless network - used to work on old one

    Hi, I'm on a Mac OS.  I just upgraded my wireless network to use an airport extreme.  I have a verizon fios router - same as I had when it used to connect.  The only change was adding the airport extreme.  Now, the officejet 7410 all-in-one will not connect to the wireless connect.  It SEES the name of the network, and asks me for a WEP Key, which it didn't used to do.  It used to ask me for the network password.  I found the WEP key on the router and it acts like it is trying to connect but takes a long time and then gives me an error.  One time it never gave me an error and seemed like it had worked, but was not connected.  It just gave up. 
    My configuration page indicates offline with no active connection and wireless status disconnected.  
    I restarted everything with no change.  I don't know why it would be asking me for a WEP key this time and then not accept it but that was the first indication that something was different when it didn't ask me for the network password.
    Also, as a separate issue but related.  In trying to fix this, I deleted my drivers to reinstall and see if I started over that it would work.  That created another problem in that now it seems that HP no longer supports a driver for this printer.  Is that even possible?  It's not that old.  It says it does not exist on the software update.  Please help!

    Hi YSJA,
    I'm sorry to hear you've had problems accessing your Officejet 7410 since adding the AirPort Extreme to your home network.
    I have included a link to HP's Wireless Printing Center troubleshooting section. It has section, "Was anything changed or updated on your router recently?" that has detailed steps to help you resolve the issue.

  • Officejet 7410 wireless connection to Billion (BiPAC 7800DXL) router

    Hi,
    I recently changed my router to a Billion BiPAC 7800DXL. Since then I can't get my printer to connect to my network. The printer wants a 13 digit ASCII code which I can't seem to find on the various confiruration screens of the router.
    I sent an enquiry to Billion, they replied but there suggestion just froze my router and I had to re-set it to factory settings.
    My operating system is Windows 7.
    Any thought/guidance would be most appreciated, I'm happy with my printer so don't really want to get a new one.
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

  • Officejet 7410 Driver for Windows 10 does not find my wired (Ethernet) printer during installation

    The driver apparently didn't install completely because I can't run HP Solution Center. I can access the web server on the printer by using the IP address in a browser.  I set it to a static address. The driver seems to install except that it won't find the printer when I select a wired network printer. This printer has been working for years with Windows 7. Surprisingly, I can still print, but I can't scan since the Solution Center won't run. If I use the print and scan doctor, it tells me I need a new driver, but if I then try download it from that program, it always fails. I have installed the driver with a data of Aug 3 2015.  That seems to be the latest one. I don't know whar else to do.  I need some help.

    Welcome to the HP Community , I hope to help you with the installation issues you're having with your Officejet 7410 on Windows 10. Below are some suggestions I have for you to try. Let me know what happens. If you see any error codes or messages, please tell me the specifics. Start with power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.  Perform a Clean Boot on your computer:1. Begin by typing “msconfig” in the Cortana Search Box and then click on MSConfig (Run Command)
    Or on your keyboard press the Windows + R key at the same time and type Msconfig in the run window, then click on OK or hit enter.
    2. Now choose Selective Start-up
    3. Remove the check from Load Startup Items
    4. Click on the Services tab
    5. Check “Hide all Microsoft Services” and then click on Disable All
    6. Click on Apply and then on OK. 7.
