Lost printing to HP Laser Jet following installation of upgrade 10.8.2

I noticed from the BB that this issue is already out there, but I am not sure what course of action to take. I have a IMac with 10.8.2 installed as part of an upgrade from 10.7.x. My HP Color Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP worked fine. Once the upgrade nothing. From the HP support web site, I read the following:
HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet Printers, MFPs, and All-in-Ones - Products not supported or with limited support in OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
which leads me to believe that this printer is "done" and cannot be made to work with this OS. I am looking for a work around for a perfectly good printer. HP, while not asked has not offered a solution and my take from Apple is that the new OS is supposed to take care of all the issues, both old and new. I am willing to uninstall any an all software if it will solve the problem. I am not interested in returning to another older OS. I did install the new patch provided by Apple, it did not work and I may need to redo if not done correctrly. It did not solve the problem. Has anyone found a workable solution to this problem? I would be appreciative to any suggestions that will help. Thanks

Thanks for this response. I was able to get the printer working following a bunch of "re-tuning" of setting and the like. To be clear, I did install this patch from Apple. While Apple or HP is not clear, I found that it was better to clean house of all old printer (HP listings), remove sharing from the network settings, installing the patch at least twice and then selecting the printer a second time around. Lo and behold, I selected " Print a Test Page" and after what I thought was a long wait, got the completed test page. As indicated on the HP web page, I did lose the ability to scan via the HP Director software. Not sure that will be a problem as I can still scan to the external memory card and save the image(s). Progess and change has its cost and I will have to accept this change as part of that evolution. The new Mac OS has removed many of the folders etc that I was familiar with from earlier times. The good news is that I can print and that is what really matters. Thanks again for your suggestion.

I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it. The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac. Any suggestions?

Hi Clark
There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up.
From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

No printing Windows 8.1 64 bit printing to a Laser Jet 3550 USB

I purchased a new HP Envy 700 computer with Windows 8.1 i5 (64-bit). I checked before purchase and made sure drivers were listed at HP. I have 2 new HP lap tops that do not print but never tried to make them work.
Now my HP Color Laser Jet 3550 isn't recognized or print and will not load any drivers. When I try troubleshooting, it says, no problem found. The icon is not in the printer control panel. I Pluged in to USB 2. and 3. ports. HP technical help was no help. (My Printer is Old) No one at HP seems to know about this problem. Any one have a solution? Thanks!

Hi,
The printing is not supported on Windows 8, however a workaround available by using the drivers for Vista.

Can't print to hp laser jet 1020 printer connected to airport express

Hello All - I recently bought an airport extreme so I am doing some re-configuring of my home network but I am having issues getting the desired out come.
I have the airport extreme connected to the modem. From the extreme in another room, I have an airport express connected to the airport extreme wirelessly (I set that up through the airport utility without any problems.) Now I want to connect my usb hp laser jet 1020 printer the airport express to print from. I have a windows 7 machine. I can see the printer connected to the airport express through the airport utility. I have tried to use the bonjour print service to set up the print connection. Bonjour sees the printer connected as well, I run through all the prompts and click finish, but when I go to print something, it goes to print que and nothing happens. (side note, the printer works just fine when connected directly to the computer).
So I guess my question is, it appears the computer sees that my printer is connected to the airport express. But some point along the way, when I go to print, the message gets lost or goes to the wrong place. I am on the right track? Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Does "plugged into it" mean that the printer is connected using USB or Ethernet?
If USB, have you run Bonjour for Windows to find and configure the printer? (Pages 16-17 in the Setup Guide)
Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

Perhaps I do not understand your inquiry?
Is the printer exhibiting a Hardware issue?
If yes, the following might be useful:
The Printer Will Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button or Power Switch is Pressed
============================================================================
If the printer is OK and you just need to install printer software and "get things going":
You can find the Full Feature Software for your printer here for several flavors of Windows, Mac OS. There are apparently even drivers for Linux: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
On your printer Support Pages, you can also find links to your User Guides, How-to Pages, Troubleshooting, and other interesting bits.

How to print envelopes hp laser jet pro mfp m225dw

Can you please advise as to how I can print invitation style (4 3/8 x 5 2/4) envelopes on the Laser Jet Pro MFP M225dw? Also, if my template is set up for a horizontal mail merge configuration, how should the envelope be inserted into the printer?

Hey @Shaggs,
I would like to assist you today with printing on envelopes with your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw.
Please refer to the document below for step by step instructions on how to load envelopes in your printers paper tray:
Loading Plain Paper and Envelopes
Once you have your envelope loaded properly, open up the program that you want to print envelopes from. Because Word seems to be the standard program that people print envelopes from I'm going to provide you with the envelope printing instructions for that specific program. Should these steps not work for you, be sure to respond to this post with your Operating System and the program that you're printing from.
What's my OS?
How to Print Envelopes from Word:
1. Open Word and click on Mailings at the top
2. Select 'Envelopes' from the top left hand side
3. An Envelopes and Labels page should now open. Enter your Delivery and Return Addresses.
4. Select 'Options' on the bottom right hand side.
5. Under the 'Envelope Options' tab ensure that your Envelope size is appropriately selected.
6. Select the 'Printing Options' tab at the top. You now need to select the appropriate Feed Method for your product.
7. Make sure that you choose the 'Face up' option.
8. Also ensure that 'Clockwise Rotation' is not selected.
9. Hit 'OK' and 'print'
Here is a video for additional instruction:
Please respond to the this post with the result of your envelope printing. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

How do you set up two sided printing on HP Laser Jet P2055

I just purchased a HP Laser Jet P2055 that advertises automoatic 2 sided printing; however, all of my copies are one-sided and I can't figure out where or how to format the printer to print two sided copies. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
You need to change the printing preferences of the default printer to print on both sides. When you click on the print icon to print, it will display the print dialog box. Within this dialog box, there will be a button that may say Preferences or Properties...just click that button to display the printing preferences. Once you have this printing preferences window, locate the tab which will have the option that says print on both sides...provide a check mark on it, hit ok and then print. that should work.

My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

Hi,
If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.

I cannot print with HP Laser Jet Professional P 1102w

I was using Windows XP on the first hard disk of my computer. I could use your Laser Jet with this Operation System. But the difficulties with Windows XP are growing and I want to Install a newer Windows Operating System ???- On the second hard disk of my computer I am using Linux Ubuntu. I tried in vain to use your printer with the Linux Ubuntu system. Therefore I want to use your printer by sending the data to be printed as attachment of an E-Mail with ePrint .
But by now I get:
SERVER ERROR
Oops! Something just went wrong with our server.
Try refreshing the page. ???

Hello there @Frielinghaus !
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see you experiencing some server issues when trying to setup the ePrint feature on your LaserJet P1102w printer. I should be able to provide some help with that!
The first thing to check when troubleshooting any LaserJet printer is to confirm it is plugged into the wall directly and not a power surge protector. The next thing to check is to ensure the printer has the most up to date firmware version. I can provide a link to the download for the Laserjet P1102w firmware update for Windows XP. When running a firmware update on the printer it must be plugged in temporarily with the USB cable.
For the firmware update click here: Firmware update for HP Laserjet P1102w.
If you are still experiencing the server connection issue when trying to enable ePrint then you may be able to change the DNS server the printer is using!
To change the DNS:
1. Access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS) by typing its IP address in the address bar of the web browser.
2. Once connected to the EWS click the Network Tab at the top of the window.
3. Click "IPV4 configuration" on the left side.
4. Click Manual IP.
5. Under DNS address configuration enter the New DNS server.
6. For preferred DNS address enter "8.8.8.8".
7. For Alternate DNS address enter "8.8.4.4".
8. Press apply and try connecting to ePrint again!
Please post back and let me know if this worked for you!

Problems printing with HP laser jet 5M and Snow Leopard

Hello,
Since In installed Snow Leopard on my mac I can no longer print with my HP laser jet 5M.
I know this is because Appletalk is no longer supported, and that I should use the laser jet as IP printer. However, I couldn't figure out how to assign an IP address to the printer. It seems I can't do this by the config menus of the printer. I read somwhere it is possible to do this by terminal (telnet) but I am not familiar with unix.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
many thanks

Unable to print to HP laser jet 3600 from Mavericks

I receive an error about legacy USB driver when I try to print.
Deleted printer and re-installed - same problem.
Looked on HP and Apple for support - but not joy. It just says to update via ASU - but there are no updates to install.
Apple website advises that 3600 should work fine with Mavericks
Very frustrating.
Any ideas most welcome.

Thanks Arthur! This worked beautifully. Thanks for the easy to follow step by step.
Here's how you reset the HP3600N printer to factory settings:
Turn off printer.
Turn on printer with checkmark button depressed.
Release button when all the lights come on 'Solid'.
Change Select Language on the printer screen to Cold Reset.
Press the checkmark button.
The printer will return to factory settings.

Printer model hp laser jet p3005dn always prints second page in landscape format.

Printer prints even page in landscape format only. Even if in program (say msword) the page is in portrait format.

Hi,
The instructions (from your link) say you have to connect USB, how do you connect it now ? HP does not supply driver but Windows 8 & 8.1 MAY have generic/basic driver for it. The link also says you have to use Windows update. Amazing to see a 15-20years old printer is still up and running, only the Operating system kills it.
Regards.
