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.

  • Can you refill ink for a Photosmart C4280 all-in-one?

    I saw another thread about this, but couldn't reply, so I'm starting my own.
    A friend told me I should get refills since it's cheaper than always buying the #'s 74/75, I believe it is, but I don't know if it's possible for my printer.
    If anyone knows and can help, please do.
    Thanks!

  • HP PhotoSmart C4280 all in one came with my macBK scanning doesn't work

    Printing works fine yet when i try to scan something (hit the scan button) it says "usb port not connected" which of course it is working the usb cable connection or how could I print? Yet, scanning getting this kind of strange error! What should I do just take the macBOOK w/ printer to Genius
    Bar see what they think? Hate to lug it all the way back in through shopping ctr again
    anyone have an idea about this? Not like apple store just down the road from me requires a a jaunt
    to say the least in my jalopy.

    What a piece of crap - In the instructions it says for scanning "make sure you are connected to computer running Windows" ***? I use a mac because I don't want to use windoze.
    I was in a huge hurry with a deadline looming in a couple of hours (and dead powerbook), so I grabbed a new iMac, they say - "want a free printer/scanner?" sure, throw it in. Had I not been on deadline, I would have done some homework. This thing is a piece of junk. And it wasn't free, I had to shell out $100 ontop of the other $2000 I was dropping in the Apple store. Sure I'll get the hundred $ back after I mail in the rebate form and wait six months to receive the check back, ASSuming of course I actually get all $100 back - check the terms and conditions, says "eligible for up to $100"... I'm guessing I get $50 at the most.
    The mac "specialist" (and I use that term very loosely, just because you have an iPhone, doesn't mean you know anything about Apple) made it sound like this was the only printer that was "eligible" for the rebate. In my haste to get back to work, I sad f* it and now am ******, because I need to scan something st midnight on a friday and have to download new drivers/software.
    Apple, you used to treat us much better when your market share was 3%.

  • Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

    HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer  (CN731A)
    Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great.  Thought everything was good to go.  Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print.  Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there.  I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed.  This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer.  I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo?  Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Hello,
    Try the below steps ..
    While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
    Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
    Wait for 30 seconds.
    Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
    Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges  or the Printer .

    How do I add my HP Photosmart e-ALL-IN-ONE D110 series printer to my Android Tablet?

    Hi,
    Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

  • 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

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print.  I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer.  I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available  The software update service is currently not available."

    After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work.  I know it is connected as it shows up,  The message is:
    "The printer software was installed incorrectly.  Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
    I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed.  I unistalled the printer and reistalled.  Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc.  I never had to use the CD that came with the printer.  My printer is:  HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected.  Can someone please help me to get this working,
    Thank you,

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

    I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,
    SeanS

    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.

I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

    The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

    Hello Merole
    As I understand it you can print color everywhere but from MS Word 2013? If this is the case try the steps I have outlined below to see if they resolve your issue:
    On the View tab, in the Color/Grayscale group, click Black and White.
    On the Black and White tab, in the Change Selected Object group, click the settings that you want.
    I hope this helps resolve your printing issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
