Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.

On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

Hi,
Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

Trying to use a P1102w both USB and wireless

I am running two desktop computers. #1 is Windows XP, quite old, with no network connection anymore. When I first got my P1102w, it was setup using this computer and the USB connection. #2 computer is Windows 7 64-bit, with wireless capability. Up to that point, my router was set up to be unsecured, no password. With the new Windows 7 online, I decided to be careful, and so I secured the router with a password. At that point, I lost the wireless capability for the P1102, seemingly because I couldn't figure out how to teach it to enter the password. It still works fine for the USB/XP connection. I just lost a Canon Pixma ip90v printer due to old age and apparent hardware failure. I have a new Canon Pixma ip110, which has wireless capability. I decided to get the router access straightened out before trying to hook up another wireless printer.
The fact that my USB connection comes from a computer with no networking might make it hard to setup the P1102 for wireless. Should I move my USB to the Windows 7 machine to get the network and printer all setup, and them move the USB back to the XP so that I can print from there? I also have a laptop that I would like to use via wireless with both the printers, if I can get it all setup the way I want.
This question was solved.

Hi @Dave-P1102w ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer again over the network with encryption. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Windows 7 computer.
Then run the Wireless configuration to setup the printer on the network again.
Go to Start, All Programs, HP, HP Laserjet P1102w, then select Wireless Configuration.
Run through the steps to configure the wireless.
Then disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer on the wireless network.
For the Laptop, just run the Add Printer Wizard from Devices and Printers. You will need the CD or you can just connect the printer to the Laptop and the automatic Smart Install will load and install the printer.
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

How to use both wired and wireless connection with static addresses

Now that I have setup my home network with static addresses (router, mini1, mini2 and PC) in the way I want, (big thanks to BDAqua http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1271635&tstart=0) I would like to understand some more advanced network concepts.
I would like to change the network so that I use both the wireless connection and the built-in ethernet connection at the same time in my Mac mini1. I would like to connect my PC to my Mac mini by using the wired ethernet connection so that I reach the Internet from my PC as well. I would also like to be in control of all the addresses therefore I want to assign the addresses manually.
The question: What addresses should I use between mini1 and PC? Should I use the same wireless address space as I already use between the wireless router and the other computers (router: 192.168.1.1, mini1: 192.168.1.101, mini2: 192.168.1.103) or should I use something totally different like 10.X.X.X? What should I put in ethernet connection "Router"-field, the same as in Airport (192.168.1.1)? What about DNS, same as in Airport?

If I understand this correctly, you wish your Mini to perform Internet Sharing for your PC, correct!?
If so you'll pretty much have to let the Mini handle DHCP & NAT on the Ethernet port. You also want to be sure Airport is dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, that's what position the Mini will use 1st for Internet itself.
On the Mini turn on both Web Sharing & Internet Sharing. The PC once connected will have the Mini's Ethernet IP as it's Gateway addy.

Can you print from a USB Drive on HO HP printer?

I have an HP LaserJet MFP 276np all-in-one printer. Is it possible to print from a USB Drive inserted in the printer. If so, please give directions.
Thank you,

Hi @Coach1966,
I read your post and see that you would like to know if you can print from a USB drive, inserted in the printer. I would be happy to provide that information for you.
Your printer supports flash drives. Supported file types from the front port include PDF and RGB JPEG.
The following information is provided by the printer's manual on page 50. LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR MFP.
Walk-up USB printing:
1. Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the front of the product.
2. The USB Flash Drive menu opens. Touch the arrow buttons to scroll through the options.
Print Documents
View and Print Photos
Scan to USB Drive
3. To print a document, touch the Print Documents screen, and then touch the name of the folder on the USB drive where the document is stored. When the summary screen opens, you can touch it to adjust the settings. Touch the
Print button to print the document.
4. To print photos, touch the View and Print Photos screen, and then touch the preview image for each photo that you want to print. Touch the Done button. When the summary screen opens, you can touch it to adjust the settings. Touch the Print button to print the photos.
5. Retrieve the printed job from the output bin, and then remove the USB drive.

Can I use a usb and wireless keyboard at the same time on a mac pro

I wish to use the Mac Pro USB keyboard for Logic shortcuts and the Mac Pro wireless keyboard for normal typing etc. Is this possible?

Just as Matt has said, the Mac uses "all devices active" philosophy with keyboards and pointing devices. It does not automatically Switch to a later-installed device, it uses them ALL at the same time by default.

Using both wired and wireless network Access?

I have a ThinkPad 510 with a docking station. Within the same room, connecting to the same network I may use the WiFi with the TP only, or connect using the docking station which is hardwired to the network. TP has W7 installed.
What is the correct procedure for bouncing between these two environments? Is there a setup which will allow
'automatic' access, depending on whether I'm using the docking port, or not?
Thanks,

in the Thinkvantage Access software, you can set the network preferences. So you can set the Ethernet to be your most preferred network connection method, while your wireless as the second most preferred method. Or which way you prefer.
So for example, when you dock and the computer detects the ethernet network connection, it will automatically switch to the ethernet as it becomes available. And when you undock, your computer will switch back to wireless as ethernet is not available.

Can't print using HP Photosmart C7280 wirelessly in Mountain Lion

Hi folks,
Having recently updated to the latest HP Printer drivers I have been unable to print or scan with my printer wirelessly since.
Whenever I try to print something the print queue tells me that it fails to find the printer. Same thing happens whenever I try to scan something.
The printer works fine is I connect it to a USB via my MacBook Pro but that completely defeats the purpose of me getting the printer in the first place.
I've reset the network settings on the printer and reconnected it, and I've removed the printers from System Preferences and added it again but I'm not sure where to go from there.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Check out this thread. Follow the second post (solved post) on how to setup a static IP.

Can you Sync with both Mac and PC ?

My wife would like an ipod touch to use pretty much as I do mine, for her music collection and calendar ad contacts sync (as well as other more interesting, but less important stuff).
The difference is, whilst we have a mac at home that she would want to sync music from, she wants to use calendars and contact info from Outlook on her PC at work.
I was told by one 'network specialist' at a store that it couldn't be done because it would only sync through iTunes and she'd have to have an account on each machine she used. every time it synced calendars from work it would remove the music and vice versa. Is this true ?
Does anyone know if this can be done? or should she pretty much forget owning an ipod touch ?
Or are there any other solutions we could look at..?
Any info gratefully recieved
andyt

I've done it, I've done it !
All the feedback sounded so promising, I went ahead and got an ipod touch for my wife and it's all worked out great. She took it to work and set it up there (PC formatted) to sync contacts and calendars, then at home tonight I've added bit by bit. Songs worked, then I managed to put some photos on... apps was the tricky one to get my head around, as we have different profiles on the iMac, but wanted to share apps without paying or them twice - We shared music by moving our itunes library to a shared location, works a treat as we can keep them different. Eventually I worked out I could log in to my itunes store account in her profile and download the apps again straight into her library. Brilliant!
and I think that's the lot!
the only thing that could go wrong now is if it all disappears when she takes her ipod touch back to work after the holidays (ach, I'm sure we're fine)... fingers crossed.
Thanks everyone for giving me the confidence to go for it. Needed to be sure before I spent all that money.
jscjsc, sorry to hear about your probs, but it's worked for me. Sorry I can't help you as I no nothing of the PC side of things, so couldn't say why your calendar diasppeared - except to say that when I went to tick the sync music box at home, it threatened to wipe everything on the ipod and replace it. I took that to maybe mean calendars too, so I let it alone and my wife will manually manage music and movies, very simple, drag and drop. Apps and Photos seem to sync ok though.
Hope you get sorted.

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time? Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop. It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work. What should / can I do, if anything?

HP Laserjet Pro 400 Printer unable to print docs using both letter and legal paper

HELP!! Have been using an HP Laserjet Pro 400 M425dn dual tray printer for 2 years, along with a Dell laptop. Always had ability to send documents to print using both letter and legal size paper. Under print set-up on laptop, the option checked was always set to "Choose Paper Source by PDF Paper Size". Now I've just purchased an HP Envy All-in-One Desktop, which does not offer that option under Print Set-Up. While it allows for 'Auto Selection' of paper size, you are required to choose either letter or legal size paper. I've called tech support 3 times, the latest call earlier this am, only to be disconnected. Yesterday I was told that I should go on hp/support and update drivers. My husband downloaded drivers, but still no fix. Unless this issue is resolved asap, I will have no option but to return this Envy Desktop, as I cannot run my business without this option.
Anyone have a similar problem? How was it resolved?

The available options will (probably) be determined by the printer driver in use.
This , in turn, will be determined partly by which Operating System and version you are using.
Once a printer model has been out in the field for some time (generally when the next generation (or two?) of devices has been announced to supersede it) that model becomes a 'legacy' device, and 'full-specification' printer drivers may no longer be supplied by the printer manufacturer, but basic (i.e. without too many options) drivers will (probably) instead be supplied with the operating system.

Problems with hp laser printing in leopard- wired and wireless

Printing problems in Leopard are slowly eating away at my last nerve!
Here's the background: I have a Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, running 10.5.2. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I've been having printing problems, both wired and wireless. I have an HP Laserjet 1160, which is a wonderfully reliable printer- I've had it since 2005 and have never had a problem.
When I installed Leopard, I began getting a popup message after starting up my computer and logging in. The message has a lighthouse icon on it and reads:
"Popup Error: Failed to listen for incoming Popup jobs. You will not be able to use Popup printing for the duration of this session. Please report this incident to a system administrator."
(for the record, I only have one computer, it's not on any system, and I have the administrator account)
Here are the two problems I have:
-First, wired printing is spotty. Half of the time, when I connect the USB cable and click print, nothing prints. Usually, if I unplug the cable and plug it into the other USB port, then printing works. This is in spite of the fact that the computer recognizes that the printer is there- I can delete then re-add the printer to my printer list and still nothing.
-Second, wireless printing does not work at all. Again, the printer is recognized when plugged in to either the time capsule or the airport express, and I can add the printer, but printing doesn't work: the job is sent to the print queue, but the queue stalls on the "connecting to printer" phase.
This problem is a huge pain, and I have no idea how to solve it. Any help is appreciated.
Jon

Thanks for posting this problem Cathjock. I have had the same issue with a NEC Superscript 1400. Thinking it wast he printer, which is getting up there in age, I went out and purchased a new HP P1505 to no avail. I have been researching this for a few days now and think that all of this is related to a user permission in CUPS. I have de-installed, re-installed, re-booted etc as prescribed and got three pages hours after the fact via my Airport Express connected new printer. Generally, however, nothing comes out immediately as was the case in the past either on Airport Express or via USB cable. I am stumped and am starting to get worried.
I can't print invoices for my business and am considering firing up my old Windows machine if you can believe it !
Seriously, Apple has created a monstrous situation with all of htese printing issues and nothing is apparently being done, nothing that I can find in any of the discussion forums at this time.
My last option is to re-install 10.5 with an archive and install as I really cannot afford to start from scratch.
Now if you look at this forum, there are 242,847 views logged with 2,514 questions and 13,848 messages.
This should mean something for Apple as many people need help and are getting really really ******-off.
So pleeeeaaaaase Apple. respond and offer a fix for this problem that is plaguing a ton of people.

C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

SEPPLES86,
In order to print from your I-Pad or I-Phone you would need to be connected through wireless. Air Print works when your printer and device ( ipad or iphone) is connected to the same WI-FI network.
Here is a link to a post with a lot of good information concerning Air Print.
