  • Printing to a HP Photosmart C4280 All-In-One printer?

    I have a 27" iMac that has the above printer connected via USB cable to the back of the computer. I have printer/scanner sharing turned on for this connected printer but the iPad 2 is not finding any printers.
    Shouldn't I be able to print to the printer while the 27" iMac is powered on?
    If not, can someone help me get this working. My wife uses it and I need to get this working. T
    Thanks

    You need some software on the mac, like Printopia, that can get signals from the iPad and pass them to the printer.

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

    I  have aHP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer that when I turn it on it looks like it is going to start, then the light on the light scribe door goes on and off, it makes a clicking noise then the printer shuts off, then comes back on and does the same thing over and over.

    Hello Gr8fulbuck, I see you are having an issue with your printer and I would like to help.
    I just need some information from you first. Do you have your printer plugged directly into a wall outlet? Have you power reset your printer? Have you tried to plug it in to a different wall outlet? Have you tried using a different power cable?
    Which model of printer do you have?

  • HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are a problem

    HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer   Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are not allowing paper to feed until several steps are taken first.
    (I am using Windows 7.  I also use the virtual XP mode and mostly MS Office 2003 docs). 
    I have had this printer for several years and love it.  Before I toss it out, I thought I would check if I could get it to work properly before I buy another printer.  Note: I did put in a new HP black cartridge (because it was out of ink) but the printer was not working properly for several days before I changed the cartridge. The printer was at step 5 before ink change.
    Lately, each time I turn on my printer, I have to go through the same routine
    1. The printer wants to align the cartridges so I push OK
    2. The paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing.
    3. Error message appears that it is out of paper.  So I press OK to continue.
    4. It says "aligning print cartridges" runs through 2 sheets of blank paper without trying to do anything and then states "cartridge alignment failed"  "Press OK to continue"
    5. Screen is now normal and it appears it is going to work.
    6. It makes no difference if I used the copy function OR when I send a print job from the computer, the paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing but nothing happens.
    7. Error message appears that it is out of paper. OR that it is the wrong size paper.  I pull the paper that was at the proper place to be printed from the printer and then the error message says "Paper jam.  Press OK to continue"
    8.  I press OK.  The printer will then quickly feed in and eject 2 sheets of paper before it will actually start printing the print job.  It will work fine after this as long as I print from the same document.
    9. If I want to print a different document then I have to start all over again at step 6 to get the printer to work.  If I shut the printer off I have to go back to step 1.
    What I have already tried
    A.  Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver direct from HP web site.  I have done this several times with both the basic driver download and the complete package download.
    B.  I have done a partial reset by unplugging the printer, and then re-plugging the printer while pushing the  "# and 3" buttons while turning on the printer.  I have done this several times.  Each time it will work fine until I try a different document of turn off the printer.
    C. I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and used it several times.  It states that "everything checks out OK"
    D. I have downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 4.0 but it does not work with my printer.
    E.  I have cleaned all the rollers and blown air throughout to make sure there were no bits of junk in the paper's path or blocking a sensor.
    F.  I have tried different brands and weights of paper (all 8½  x 11) but nothing works.
    Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the virtual machine so I could print XP files.  This may just be a coincidence because the printer has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer being on.
    Thanks for looking at my issues.  Any help would certainly be appreciated.

    I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result.  Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper" 
    I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem. 
    I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner.  One for black and one for color.  The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down.  Currently the black ink icon is missing
    This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem.  The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
    Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs.  This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
    I want to thank you for all of your efforts.  Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer.  As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

  • Problem with installing Solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g

    Hi folks,
    I've searched many threads and found some directions to remedy this, tried them and have had no luck.
    I'm running Windows 7.  All updates are current.  When I bought the printer I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center stopped working.
    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I was only able to reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic drivers for print and scan, but not the entire software suite including Solution Center.  The installation stops abruptly after "installing updates".
    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.
    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g)???
    Thanks,
    Alex

    I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013.

  • How to print from iPad on hp photosmart c7250 all in one printer using wi fi?

    I want to print  from my iPad mini to a HP photosmartC7250 all in one printer using wi fi, please.

    You need a third party printing app or an app that lets your computer act as the print server. Your printer is not an AirPrint printer from what I can see. You can double check here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Printopia for the Mac or Fingerprint for Windows will let you use the computer as the print server.

    Hello RetiredHP,
    Thanks for the post.  Ok, we may have several options here.  With ePrint, you can use the mobile app. to print from your printer from any location with your iPad or iPhone.  If you have downloaded and installed the app., then check the below.  If the ePrint app. is not showing (should look like icon below), check the link below these steps.  The 2nd link provides some additional information.  The key is to ensure that both your iPad and the printer are on the same network.  Good Luck!
    Figure 3: HP ePrint mobile app icon
    If prompted, provide your iTunes account information, and then click Get. iTunes automatically installs the app on your mobile device.
    Step two: Activate the mobile app (optional)
    Why should I activate the mobile app?
    If you activate, you unlock all the features of the HP ePrint mobile app. You can print to any HP ePrint-enabled printer (to which you have been given access) from anywhere your mobile device has Internet access. You can also print Microsoft Office documents and Web pages, or save the Web pages to print later. HP ePrint mobile app even helps you with HP printer setup and lets you monitor the status of your print jobs.
    If you do not activate, you can still print directly to your supported Wi-Fi-enabled HP printer, but only when your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can print photos, images, PDFs, and text files saved on your mobile device.
    Use the following steps to activate the mobile app.
    On your Apple device, tap the HP ePrinticon, and then tap Activate.
    Type your email address in the Activate using your emailbox, and then tapActivate. The HP ePrint service sends you an email containing an Activation Code.
    Check your email, and then write down the Activation Code sent by the HP ePrint service.
    On the Apple device, press the Home button ( ) twice, and then tap HP ePrint.
    Type the Activation Code into the box, and then tap Activate.
    The app displays a message to confirm activation.
