Mac put in all the necessary software, accepted the printer and scanner, and despite my shutting them off and then on again, they are still working. Then somehow I found the advice to go to the printer itself and, using the printer's own tools, to do a factory reset, turn it all off and then on, and it might be recognised as a brand new printer. I couldn't get the Printer in Sysdtems Preferences even to acknowledge there was any printer at all.Īgain I did a complete uninstall of all hp items from the iMac and a reboot. When I opened up again to my dismay the printer and all its connections to the iMac had vanished. U P D A T E I shut everything down for a while to recover from the mild anxiety. I did this and when I was adding the printer, I got a notification saying I had a software update, it downloaded and it's finally working again as usual. Drivers were downloaded and installed by system." Then I clicked on + in settings/printers and selected my HP OfficeJet J4660 printer. "I went to setting/printers and did 'Reset printing system', then opened /Library/Printers and removed hp folder and all 'HP.' files in PPDs folder. "Finally working for me too, but I had to do what Krunoslav said: My printer suddenly leapt into action and chewed up a piece of paper, so eager was it to print again! What a relief! This is the quote You have to find the HP folder in the Library (not in the apps) delete everything that is in it and then let your Mac find your printer and feed it the software it needs. Not sure how but I came across this solution but I think it was in an HP forum. So I guess whatever I was experiencing has been resolved. Went to System Preferences and discovered to my surprise the printer back there. But overnight, it seems that HP and Apple decided to play nice again - I had two banners pop up to say that both Apple and HP software had been updated. I was going to try a fresh install today to see what happens. I'm afraid I went all neolithic and manually deleted the printer from System Preferences and then found the HP printer files in the Library (all users and my own), deleted them, emptied the Trash and rebooted. Looked at a few of the 'solutions' - many referring to drivers older than the issue, so I gave them a pass - while following HP's own instructions, I discovered I had no HP Utility to actually uninstall the product. Of course I did a search and found all the comments scattered across many Forums (including HP's own), dated to coincide with the problems. Laserjet P1102w here and I noted the issues - pop-ups about particular files potentially damaging my computer - yesterday.
