MyHP PSC 1410 hardware is fine but my hard drive was failing. After I replaced it, the HP all-in-1 software is missing. When I try to reload the software using AIOCDB_NonNet_FullWin_WW_140_408-4, that software tries to Uninstall whatever is there but never tries to install anything. I also ran HP easy start. That apparently installed a printer driver as I can now print but that software never completes and shows the "busy circle" forever. I ran the HP diagnostic and it downloads the AIOCDB_NonNet_FullWin_WW_140-408-4 again and when I try to run it that once again tried to uninstall whatever is there.
The scanner part of the unit looks like it has no software at all.
Any suggestions how to proceed?
Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed solution. I haven't tried it yet but I had tried some other things on my own before I got your post. From Start/programs I ran HP uninstall, which uninstalled a bunch of stuff. When I then ran the AIOCDB_NonNet_FullWin_WW_140_408-4, now it DID install a bunch of stuff including the printer driver. When I got to the last step, it did not install the HP Solution Center. When I try to run it, it flashes up the HP Solutions center logo but then in a fraction of a second puts up another icon and it doesn't run. If I run HP Print and Scan Doctor 5.52 and "fix printing" it passes all the checks and can print. If I select "fix scanning", the scanner runs, but I get an error dialog box with a red "Front panel Test: "This tool has detected a problem with the printer front panel scan settings. Start HP Solutions Center, then choose setting, scan settings, scan to... setup and add the available scan shortcuts to the printer front panel list to resolve the problem" But the HP solutions center doesn't run so I can't do this. The printer now prints if I print something and can scan via Microsoft. I will try your full procedure at some point but I'm using the unit at the moment. I appreciate your full procedure and will try it soon and get back to you on my results. Thanks again for your detailed procedure to resolve my problem.
Before I uninstalled I searched for "HP Printers - HP Solution Center doesn't open" on the web. I got the following answer:
"HP Solution Center is a printer management program for HP printers manufactured before 2010. HP Solution Center does not work when Flash software is not active on your system. Because Flash is no longer supported by the industry, HP Solution Center is also no longer supported." and the article gives workarounds.
after "almost endless" unsuccessful trials: deleting, installing, rebooting, .... I found that, in my case, the problem was with the USB female connector in the (Chinese) Nano board. It was slightly, very slightly loose around the terminal connector, and just moving the plug (USB 4 pins) until some resistance was found, the ports /cu.wchusbserial1410 and /cu.usbserial-1410 appeard in the list, and I was able to upload a sketch. Can't say I'm happy, this is casually reproducible situation. .... (No, sorry, it's USB 5 pins, seems working well ).
I am unable to get started with my starter kit. I have a Mac running Mojava 10.14.2
Total newbie here. Already spent two hours trying to do something but this is all a different language to me.
Sad and frustrated. Why isn't there an organized post or something clear to help beginners get started?
Arduino does provide quite a bit of documentation to help beginners get started:
The information on the forum will tend to be much more chaotic and disorganized due to the nature of forums. Usually you can find the information you need after spending some quality time with Google but it's not terribly efficient.
So I've been at this for over 10 hours straight now trying to upload a sketch to my ESP8266 and I still can't get the port to show in Arduino IDE. I've tried installing drivers, deleting drivers, all kinds of magic in terminal - still no go. I am on a powerbook mid 2012 running OSX mojave 10.14, so i also tried the "legacy driver" just in case, nothing seems to work.
I did however notice that the driver at /Library/Extensions/usbserial.kext is indeed installed, but the other at /System/Library/Extensions/usb.kext doesn't seem to be there. Any idea if the path has changed in mojave? Any sure fixes yet? The device is legit - no a chinese knockoff and the cable is indeed a data capable one, so that is not the issue.
I have the same the same problem as Betyar. I am also a newbie. I have tried everything and nothing seem to work. I have tried the terminal thing downloading all kinds of stuff. I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports and version 10.14.3 Mojave
plzzz help
Finally got my ESP8266 (Nodemcu... "New version" according to Amazon) I struggled with this for a couple of days trying to get my macbook (Mojave 10.14.3) to just see the thing.
Tried with the ch340 drivers. Nothing.
Tried deleting the drivers. Nothing.
Tried holding the flash button.
Tried holding the reset button.
Tried resetting while holding the flash button.
Tried many combinations of the above. Nothing.
Looked at the amazon page, and realized i don't have the ch340 UART. My version has the CP2102. Aha!
Install CP2102 driver from Silicon Laboratories. Nothing.
Go through everything again, twice.
Shelved it and was working on testing a repaired usb joystick. The driver didn't come with any sort of testing program, so I installed USB Blaster. It came up with a security prompt that opened up the security panel in preferences and showed that two programs were blocked, USB blaster and the driver from Silicon Labs.
Unblocked and it seems to be working. I can at least see the thing in /dev/tty now, and it shows up in the arduino IDE. I haven't flashed anything yet, but maybe this will help someone else.
OK, so I have a couple of Wemos D1 mini boards that I have been trying to make work with the IDE. I'm running MacOs Mojave (10.14.3) and like others have been having great difficulty in having my MBP show the serial port.
Yesterday I installed the CH340 drivers as advised by JorgeSans and somehow managed to get my machine to a state where it refused to boot (I installed the drivers, then deleted the USBSerial.kext and then reinstalled after which the machine failed to boot (I think!)). I ended up having to reinstall the OS from the recover partition.
I've read various different posts regarding whether MacOS Mojave actually has native support for the CH340 chip or not. Does anyone have any definitive information regarding how to allow Mojave to communicate successfully with the CH340 chip.

Firstly I used Homebrew but I quiclky realized that Homebrew is not updated and only installs v1.4. The NodeMCU already showed on the /dev/list but since it was an older version I uninstalled it.
So I unloaded the files, removed them manually & rebooted:
So, everything seems fine and I go over to Arduino IDE. I installed all the esp stuff to detect the board, I go over to "Tools --> Boards --> Board Manager" and select "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)", on upload speed I select "115200" and for the Port I get 3 options:
However, trying to run the "Blink" example I always get an error that "the port or resource is busy". Other time I get to the point where it apparently uploads everything and then simply stays at reseting and nothing else seems to happen:
Adding a tap to my brew pointing to adrianmihalko/ch340g-ch34g-ch34x-mac-os-x-driver repository and then installing the drivers with brew cask install.
The casks in adrianmihalko repository install latest version 1.5 of the driver. I reboot and still no avail.
UPDATE: I made a very newbie mistake, I was checking my installation with a NodeMCU (CP210* USB-UART based chip) so of course it was not working. After actually connecting a USB-UART CH34* based chip, for example an Arduino UNO or MKR1000, it worked perfectly.
Just to let you know, if you need the NodeMCU CP210* based chip, refer to CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs as they are the OEM for those drivers
I was having issues connecting my wemos D1 mini pro to my mac. I had recently upgraded from high sierra to mojave and the usb serial port would not be recognized by my arduino IDE. I previously had the wemos d1 usb driver version 1.5 on my mac. I followed the instructions to uninstall the kext and reboot with no luck.
I ended up downloading the USB to UART bridge VCP from CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs
and I was able to see the USB serial port and loaded my sketch to the wemos D1 mini. Maybe this could help you in case you are still not seeing the device like I did.
UPDATE: I recently found out that my USB issues seem to be related to the type of board I have. I have both the wemos D1 mini and wemos D1 mini pro boards and I needed the USB to UART bridge for the wemos D1 mini pro but didn't need it for the wemos D1 mini boards I had. So the removal of the old USB drivers may work in some situations.
I was having the same problem with MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 and an Adafruit Itsy Bitsy 32u4 - 3V. I had actually managed to upload a sketch to it once, but the port stopped showing up in the menu and there was no corresponding device in /dev. I tried installing the driver from GitHub - adrianmihalko/ch340g-ch34g-ch34x-mac-os-x-driver: CH340G CH34G CH34X Mac OS X driver to no avail.
