3450 printer offline, can't get it to print!

I just hooked up a (new-- I know it's old, but I got it with my MacBook Pro 1.5 yr ago, and am only now using it) deskjet 3450 printer to my macbook pro (OSx 10.6), and I cannot get it to print. "Printer is offline"
I don't necessarily want wireless, in fact I would prefer to just plug it in for the few times I will print (rare). But I have tried both wireless and wired, and only get "Printer is Offline"...
The wireless Network Test report says: "Network Name (SSID) Found" --FAILED     and "IP Address" --Not Applicable
Please, I would be really grateful to make this work-- thanks...

If you are getting a message on the computer that says "Printer is Offline" then here is a perfect document for you.  It covers everything I could possibly think to list here.  Let me know if you have any questions and I will be more than happy to help.

  • I have a new printer and can't get it to print. ink installed properly. any ideas?

    Please help me. I have a new printer set up today and it doesn't print. It is wireless and drivers installed correctly as is the inks x 2. It says printing alignment page but nothing comes out. Any suggestions for me? Thanks kindly,
    Sue

    Try to perform a HARD RESET on the printer first. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and leave it out for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, see if it aligns and finishes the job.
    After alignment, try to print a test page from the printer or make a copy. This job is to make sure that the HARDWARE of the printer is working correctly.

  • HP 6122 printer I can't get it to print in color.

    I have checked everything, restarted, rebooted computer and it will not print in color.  I changed the ink cart.  Went into printer devices and it looks ok.  On the screen that has the FEATURES listed, the color choice is grayed out.  Why would that be?  I work at an elementary school and noone has the original disk to the printer.  I could just reinstall but it's killing me to find out why it's doing this.  Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi ksml3311, 
    Are you using OEM HP or remanufactured ink cartridges?

  • Photosmart 5510 when sending from ipad2 picture comes out small,can I get it to print full A4 size?

    when printing from my Ipad 2 the picture prints small ,can I get it to print to full A4?

    Hi eleybill,
    Welcome to the HP Consumer Printer Forums!
    Here is an article that explains how to print from an iPad to your printer:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c02784317&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang​...=
    To answer your question, in that article it states:
    NOTE: Print options only apply to documents. All photo files print at a default image size of 4 x 6 in (101.6 x 152.4 mm).
    **UPDATE** 04/26/12
    After some testing, I have found if you change the paper size > A4, and Image Size > Custom, then you can pinch to zoom the image to the size of your liking.

  • I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw  .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word.  In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf.  Help!

    I have a Mac Air with 10.10 .  Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer.  I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages.  It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro.  It won't for emails.  In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed.  I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting.  In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked.  Need help.  Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
    Appreciate help in solving this issue.
    Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • HT4356 I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

    Shannmo-
    The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
    I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name.  There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

  • HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

    I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

    Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
    Reset the printing system:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1341
    Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

  • Can't get WiFi network printing

    hey there all,
    i recently swapped out my AXg base station for the new AEBSn. i have 2 H-P printers; 1 an HP Photosmart(circa late 2006) directly connected to my DP G5. the other, a PSC(circa mid 2004) was connected to my AXg. my problem is that now w/ the PSC connnected to the AEBSn USB port, it acts as though it is connecting & starting to print, but it does 1 line then quits. i've done all the things suggested in the Airport help as well as from H-P's website.
    i've dl'd & reinstalled the driver, turned things off/on, unplugged/re-plugged all to no avail. so far i can get printing from 2 of my other Macs(a MacBook & a 17" iMac CD) from the PSC, but only by having the PSC printer connected via USB through a hub to the DP G5 & used as a shared printer, but neither can see/connect to the Photosmart even though it appear as option in the Print Dialog. i need to have the Photosmart as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 & the PSC as the AEBS/WiFi network printer. this is the way things were setup w/ the AXg, but if they were even reveresd, w/ the Photosmart as the WiFi network printer & the PSC as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 that would work. also, i can not get the other Macs on my network to connect to the Photosmart to print & i can't get my 17" iMac G4 to connect to either printer. i'll keep plugging away w/ trying the "Help" in the meantime as i really need to be able to print to @ least 1 printer from all the Macs. anyone w/ more thoughts or ideas than those available in Airport Help will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    I am having the same problem. I have two HP photosmart printers, 7700 and 7900 series. They both worked before over the old airport extreme. Now, neither work over the new airport extreme. They act like the are starting to print and then stop. Can someone resolve this problem. They main reason I upgraded was to support multiple printers on the network. Now I don't even have one.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

  • Can't get iPad to print

    Can't get iPad to print.  Bought new printer for air print.  When tell to print it searches for printer, but always says not printer found

    Hmm, interesting that sites like airprint activator and others have sprung up to support the what seems like a problem with ipad wireless printing....and reading the many discussions here, it seem there is still a big problem between the devices that everyone has a different take on....I'm just glad I don't HAVE to print from my iPad......cause it ain't happened...
