Can't get networked HP Officejet 5610 to work with MacBook

Apologies in advance if I'm covering old ground.
I just upgraded my Deskjet 832C to an Officejet 5610 All-In-One. The printer is connected to a WinXP machine and works without a hitch on three Windows PC's using print sharing. However, I've tried everything and can't get it to work with my MacBook using a wireless connection. The old 832c worked with no problem. In fact, I don't recall ever doing any setup to get it to work; it was just detected on the network and worked without any intervention on my part when I got the MacBook. With the new printer, however, it just won't print. I can go to "add printer" on the Mac and add it with no problem; the computer sees the printer on the mshome network. It's automatically set up as a "generic" printer because I don't see this particular model listed under the HP printers. But when I print, nothing happens. I think it's getting to the printer because I can open up the printer dialogue on the Windows machine and it'll show it's printer something called a "down level document" or something to that effect. But it just hangs up there and never prints. I also can't print anything from any of the Windows PC's while it's hung up on this.
Any suggestions on what I need to do. The much older 834c worked without me doing anything special, so I can believe a newer model won't work. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing seems to work. I've tried the 900 series driver as suggested, I've set the printer up using both the "default brower" and "ip printer" options, I've gone into Windows and checked the "TCP/IP" box in addition to the USB ports ... nothing makes any difference in the behavior. The Mac seems to be communicating with the PC because in the Windows printer dialogue box, it shows that a "remote downlevel document" is printing, but it hangs there and nothing will happen. I have to restart the Windows PC to clear the print job and can't print from any of the Windows PC's until I clear it.
Thanks again. I'll keep searching for an answer. Never thought changing to a newer, more up-to-date printer would be this much trouble.

  • Can't get duplex on Officejet 6480 to work with Mac OS 10.6.4

    Recently purchased Macbook Pro 13 which makes me a new user. I have updated the OS to 10.6.4. Have installed Officejet J6480 and using wirelessly. Single page printing works fine. Can't get duplex printing to work. Checked options on printer in System Preferences and duplex capability is checked.
    What do I do now?

    Have you checked to see if you've installed the most recent driver?

  • I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint

    Hi!
    So it seem's that I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint. I got it to send out it's own Wi-Fi signal, and i get in touch with that signal on my iPad 3. But when I wan't to print something out from Pages, then it says that it can't find any airprinters.
    I tried to update the firmware several times, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to what I can do?

    Hey T-racer,
    As a work-around you can also use the HP eprint method which is available with your printer. The application (HP Home & Biz) is available for free in the apple catalogue.
    You can find more info on it here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03128518&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4110396&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    It shares many of the same capabilities of airprint but is a different program/feature.
    If you have any questions, just ask!

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion. 

  • Can't get Zip or Jaz Drive to work with PB G4 OS 10.4.7

    Hi All,
    Please help if possible. I recently upgraded from a PB 3400/G3, "Kanga" to a PB G4. When I used my Kanga I saved tons of files and pictures to my Iomega SCSI 1G Jaz and 100M Zip drives. I would like to transfer all this stuff to my PB G4 but nothing I have tried works...
    I:
    - purchased a Iomega SCSI to USB converter for my JAZ. When it is hooked up to my PB G4, after what seems like 100 years (actually about 7 minutes) it shows up on the desktop. Then after another 7 minutes it opens. Then after another 7 minutes the folder I select opens. And so on and so on. I get scared that I'm screwing up the OS...and tired of waiting so I quit the whole thing.
    - purchased a USB Iomega Zip which never shows up on the desktop, does not show up in the System Profiler, and does not show up in the Disk Utility. It doesn't matter if the disk is in the Zip before the computer is turned on or inserted later.
    - read FAQs on the Iomega site and tried most of their suggestions (check that on/off switch is in the on position, power on, cables connected, etc.) including remove Iomega driver (or whatever it is) and reinstall.
    The one thing I have not tried is to remove the Iomega files from the system manually and then reinstall the software. I am a long time user of a Mac, but OS 10 is a mystery to me and I'm deathly afraid of removing files I need. What are the Iomega files and where are they located? Do I remove them from OS 9 and OS 10 or just from OS 10?
    Oh, I forgot...I read a lot of Apple discussion items talking about removing some Adaptec files but I think they were just for PowerMac users.
    What this all boils down to is, does anyone know how I can get my Zip and Jaz drives to work on my PB G4's? As you can tell, I move forward very slowly and giving up my trusted Kanga is a big step for me I'd like to be able to move between my Kanga and G4s for a while longer.
    Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read thru all this stuff and provide suggestions.
    Powerbook G4, 15", 1.25GHz and PB G4, 12', 1.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    USB and Firewire Zip and Jazz drives exist which work with Mac OS X a lot better than SCSI. I would suggest selling the old SCSI one to someone who can better use it, and get yourself more up to date drives:

    You can't; there's no Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro. If you just bought the display, try to swap it for the standard 27" LED display with the mini display port connector (that assumes your Mac Pro is a 3,1 or later, which has a mini display port).

  • Can't get the Toslink (Optical) out to work with Airport Express

    Same problem here. Just bought an optical cable with the mini toslink connector (to work with the express and computers). I can get audio if I connect the cable to my computer, but no audio from the express. Regular analog audio comes out fine, but I cannot get the optical to work.

  • Can't get Behringer MS20 external speakers to work with Optical Audio Out

    I have the MS20 (Just your basic digital audio monitors with analogue and digital inputs:both coaxial and optical) speakers hooked up to the optical output from my new Mac Pro and can't get any sound from them.
    I've messed around with all the sound preferences in both the System Preferences and with iTunes and DVD player with no luck.
    The speakers work fine with other digital equipment I have and there is a red light comming through the cable. The speakers instructions do specify that they are compatable with the SPDIF signal. Any ideas???

    I've previously had trouble getting the sound output to swap over however I did manage to get it done. What I needed to do was to change the output, change the volume up & down via the keyboard, change the output back to the internals, change the volume up & down and so on and after the 2nd/third try the external output worked.

  • Can't get Desktop Software configured properly to work with Outlook 2007 and Blackberry 8703E

    I have a Blackberry 8703E and I have Outlook 2007 on my laptop. I keep trying to install the Desktop software but don't know what option to choose, how to configure it to recognize Outlook, etc. My goal is to be able to sync my contacts, appointments, tasks, etc. between the laptop and my Blackberry. I have no clue what I am doing or how to install and configure the software to work.
    Also, I am going to uninstall the Desktop software and want to know what the link is to download the most current version that will work with my phone and my laptop (running Vista). I do not subscribe to the Blackberry service but only want to sync between my computer and the phone.
    PLEASE HELP! I am not knowledgeable in this stuff and any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a bunch!
    Wade Rearic

    Don't know if you got your answer by now, but thought I'd try to help.
    First, let me preface by saying I use Vista, not XP, but my Outlook is 2007.
    Next, you need to be careful as to which versions of the software you use both (a) on your Blackberry desktop and (b) on your Blackberry itself.  For example, I use the 8703e via Verizon, but so far the phone's software only goes up to 4.2, which is two iterations short of Blackberry's latest smartphone software.  Why do they do this?  Because they typically introduce the new software via a new phone via an "exclusive" with a certain carrier, leaving all other users to either salivate or switch to the "exclusive" carrier.  Over time (6 months to a year) the "new" software may get rolled out to patient users with (by then) "older" phones, but they clearly want to incentivize consumers to just upgrade to new phones via special carriers.
    As for the Desktop software, it is easy to get tripped up here, as Blackberry's download site in not very intuitive for this.  Your problem could be that you downloaded and installed a Blackberry Desktop Software that is too advanced a version for your phone.  (To add further confusion, the desktop software tends to have version numbers similar to the the phone software, such as "4.2.")
    Bottom line: call your help number of your carrier to get the correct info for both sets of software for your phone.
    Once all the right software/drivers are installed, the Desktop interface si fairly user-friendly.  From a few choices you can backup your Blackberry data; synchronize it (if you are not already doing that wirelessly), etc.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Cornelius,
    At the top right corner of the Sequencer is a button that will let you select which MIDI controller devices you wish to enable. You can then select the channel this device is listening on from the MIDI IN dropdown on the track that hosts your VSTi. (The MIDI IN selection is an arrow pointing to the right.) For testing purposes, it may be simplest to select ALL for now.
    You should then be able to use your controller to trigger and control the VSTi on that track.
    If I've misunderstood your question, please elaborate.
