Hp Dvd Lightscribe Drivers For Mac
Hewlett-Packard USB Blu-ray Player Lightscribe 6X 3D BD-ROM Combo 8X Dual DVD RW RAM Recorder Tray-Loading Slim Portable External USB 2.0 Optical Drive for HP Envy 17 15 14 4 Elitebook 2740p 2760p 2530p Laptops. I use this driver with the Lacie D2 Firewire burner and 'DiscLabel 6.x' software (search here on Versiontracker for it) and works great. Very nice labels, but takes some time to burn however.
Hello Lightscribe users, just thought I would share the resolution to the Lightscribe driver issue with El Capitan. You can have your Lightscribe drive once again! I too was very sad to loose my Lightscribe drive as I still love using it. After some serious looking and persistence, I found a solution that I can say works great and allowed me once again to use my Lightscribe drive.
This solution was discovered by smarter folks than I and I for one, am very grateful. The problem is the system integrity protection in El Capitan. My thanks go to, Stefan Ilchenko and Jo Vandeweghe who came up with this process as well as Steve Nelson who took over all things Lightscribe and shared this process when HP abandoned us all. Here is how I got mine to work once again: 1.
Go to the new home of everything Lightscribe: 2. Then click on Free Software / Free Mac Software or click here: While on this page, go ahead and grab the Lightscribe System Software and extract the.tar on your desktop. Scroll down on this page until you see: Install System Software on El Capitan or click here: 4. You will also need a program called: Pacifist, Pacifist 3.5.9 which at this time is the newest version. You can find Pacifist 3.5.9 here: You will need to read the instructions which are very easy to follow, reboot and now your Lightscribe drive is alive once more!
I posted this to offer a solution to a problem many of us had. Not to claim to be an expert or that I have covered every possible issue or problem that may arise from this solution. It works for me and I have my favorite drive back, so I thought I would share.

Can you be more explicit? Download perfect salt bae challenge for mac. I have a 640i and this has gone faulty. (Took about 21 days). DVD worked ok, but lightscribe engine went awol. Reports of skewed and compressed printing are appearing on this site, (I’ve posted my own story), and also on Afterdawn, where there are legions of stories about this. Are you using a Lightscribe labelling software?
If not, then you’re never going to get anything. But if you’re getting error messages from your label printing software along the lines of incompatible media, or an update to lightscribe engine is required, then forget it. Your drive simply doesn’t work. In which case, choose one from an alternative manufacturer as HP refuse to acknowledge there is a problem. I’ve changed mine for a Lite-On.
Feels flimsier than the HP, but it has the unusual property of actually working! Hi Paco & Howard, I’m also having trouble with my HP 740r drives Lightscribe function not working. I’m using Magix Movie Edit Pro 10 to create my discs and have burnt some SVCD’s okay but when trying to use Sonic Express Labeller to print on the discs (Verbatim Lightscribe CD-Rs) I get a “Lightscribe Engine Error - No Lightscribe device found”.
I was guided through a total system restore by HP Support (a real pain as I lost all my e-mails and settings etc) but after that the Lightscribe worked and labelled a disc. I then reloaded my Magix and created another SVCD but got the same error message when it came to labelling again. I have tried updating the drivers etc from the HP site and have also loaded a Registry Key supplied by Magix but I am still having the same problem. I don’t want to do another full system restore but it looks like that may be my only option. Hi Paco & Howard, I have got my Lightscribe problem cured now and the same fix may work for you Paco? The guy at Magix sent me a Registry Key as listed below and once installed it cured my problem as the Lightscribe now works perfectly.
It was a Zip File labelled “windows2000xp-cdautostartde-1.zip”, when unzipped it contained two files named “win 2000 und xp cd autostart aktivieren.reg” and “win 2000 und xp cd autostart deaktivieren.reg” One is to be loaded onto the computer by double clicking on it to “activate” the Registry Key change and the other “deactivates” if you choose to remove it. I can’t read German but I worked out which was which and I’m sure others can. One other thing to note is that my computer wouldn’t let me load the file initially and told me it was blocking it to protect my computer. You get over this by right clicking on the Zip Folder, selecting properties and then selecting “unblock”. After that it worked a treat.

Finally, I am not a computer expert and this cured my particular problem, I would hate you to mess your Registry up by installing something unsuitable so it may be a good idea to run the fix by some of the knowledgable members of these forums to ensure it is safe for you to use in your particuler problem. I hope this helps anyone out there with similar problems. Powered by, best viewed with JavaScript enabled.
